Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

A medium-sized guard came out from behind a tree, looked at Xu Chengze, looked him up and down, and then asked, "Which battalion are you a brother from? Why are you here?"

Xu Chengze looked at the person in front of him. He had a round face and his slender eyes were slightly squinted, as if he was easy to talk to.He was just about to make up a name when he saw the mole on his cheek.

Is it him?

Xu Chengze took a step forward, and tentatively asked, "Are you Yu Qi, Yu's bodyguard?"

As expected, the visitor's expression changed, and he looked at Xu Chengze suspiciously, "Who are you? How do you know me?"

Xu Chengze laughed, "Yu Qi, don't you know me? Yunmen has a sword, and I will not grant it to anyone who is not benevolent."

Yu Qi suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Are you from Yunmen Mountain? No, you know Master Yu?"

Ten years ago, Xu's family was confiscated and Xu Chengwu died tragically. Yu Qiuyuan went down the mountain angrily and disappeared without a trace.The head of Yunmen Mountain, Yu Chenghua, died of illness, and Yunmen Mountain fell into decline.There are very few people who know the pass code of Yunmen Mountain. Seeing that the person in front of him is no older than himself, he should be Master Yu's disciple, right?

Hearing what he said, Xu Chengze confirmed that he was Yu Qi.

"That's right, I'm your uncle Yu's old friend. Yu Qi, thank you for your support in the palace. However, I pretended to be your name in front of the emperor today. These days, you'd better not serve in front of the emperor, so as not to Dress up."

What Xu Chengze said was nonsensical, and Yu Qi was confused, but since he was the person that Master Yu asked him to take care of, he himself

Will help.

"Okay. I got it. Commander Jiang just happened to send a team to go to Eagle Falcon Guard in the western suburbs, so I took the initiative to invite Ying to go there." Xu Chengze didn't expect him to agree so happily, and he was completely relieved.He cupped his fists and thanked in a low voice, "Thank you. I'll explain it to you when it's over."

After finishing speaking, Xu Chengze quickly walked into the path ahead.

Yu Qi looked at his back and touched the back of his head.Only then did I remember that the person Uncle Yu asked me to take care of was a princess from the Southern Border Kingdom.Yi Na and A Lian are the maids of the princess, I have seen them both.This person has not been seen.Moreover, he is a man!How could there be a man beside the princess?Could it be a princess disguised as a man?

impossible?He doesn't look like a woman at all!

Hearing footsteps in the distance, he knew that Li Dong, who was on duty with him, was coming, so he hurried up to meet him.

Xu Chengze almost trotted all the way back to Meifang Garden, he only patted on the door, and the door opened from the inside.Yi Na pulled him in and immediately closed the door.

She had been worrying all night, and seeing Xu Chengze come back now, she finally felt relieved.

"Princess, you are finally back? Didn't anyone find you?"

Xu Chengze didn't care about talking, but just kept shaking his head.

A-Lian said from the side: "Let the princess enter the room to drink some water and rest for a while."

"That's right. Princess, come in quickly."

Xu Chengze entered the room, before he had time to change his clothes, he drank a few mouthfuls of water first.After taking a breath, he said, "No one knows I've gone out, right?"

A-Lian said: "The maid asked Xiao Chengzi and the others to go to bed first, and paid special attention to their room, there was no movement."

"That's good."

Yi Na said coldly: "They don't know, but there must be a lot of eyeliner in this palace. Whether they have seen it or not, the slaves don't know."

Xu Chengze put down the cup, disapproving, "It's okay to see it. Just say that I'm bored and can't sleep and go for a walk, and they can't do anything to me."

"It's hard to say." A-Lian curled her lips, "You didn't do anything, and you were thrown into this limbo. If they catch you again, I don't know what will happen to you!"

Xu Chengze smiled, "Don't worry, it's fine."

Yi Na saw that although he looked tired, she couldn't hide her excitement.He tentatively asked: "Princess, you seem to have gained something by going out this time!"

Xu Chengze smiled without saying a word, stood up and stretched his waist: "I'm too tired! Alian, Yi Na, I need to sleep first, don't disturb me."

"Yes, princess."

This noble concubine Xu Chengze is in the cold palace, and she is also suffering from a serious illness. She is ordered to recuperate from her illness. Even if she sleeps until dark, no one cares about her

Yi Na and A Lian waited for Xu Chengze to wash up, and then retreated.

Xu Chengze said he was tired, but he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.

Not only did he meet Guo Heng, Guo Heng also agreed to meet again tonight.He rolled on the bed, thinking in his heart that he must do his best to share his worries.

He was planning silently in his heart, and didn't fall asleep until it was dark.

In his sleep, he seemed to hear voices talking outside.

"The concubine heard that the imperial concubine is safe, so she came to visit. I didn't expect that the imperial concubine hadn't gotten up yet. It's really a coincidence that I came here."

According to the woman's words, which concubine from the palace should come to visit him.

Xu Chengze is a man, he doesn't want to deal with them, so he is not in a hurry to get up.

He buried his head in the quilt, unable to hear what Yi Na and A-Lian said, and then he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and then there was no movement, probably someone left.

He just sat up and put on his coat.

"Princess, are you up?" A-Lian opened the door, saw Xu Chengze got out of bed, and then brought in the toiletries.

"Who came just now?"

"Princess Hui is the concubine Shu of Xinyun Palace."

"Concubine Liu Shu? Isn't she pregnant?"

"say,,

疋.

Xu Chengze wondered, "What is she doing here with a big belly?"

A-Lian said: "She said she came to greet you."

"Greetings to me?" Xu Chengze shook his head, "I don't think it's as simple as she said."

Yi Na said: "If she has something to do, she will definitely come."

"Ina is right."

Xu Chengze put down the towel and stood up.

"When is it?"

"Princess, it's already half past time."

"It's so late? No wonder you're so hungry!"

"Princess, the meal is ready. Today, the servant made buns with radish seedlings. It tastes good!"

"Oh? Really? Those rows of radishes are the result of our hard work for half a day, and we can finally try something new. I must eat two more

"

〇

A-Lian laughed and said: "You just eat, the servant has done a lot! You, you eat too little, that's why you're so skinny!"

After lunch, Xu Chengze sat at the desk, looking at the books on the desk, actually thinking about the affairs of the court.He had already boasted about Haikou in front of Guo Heng, so he naturally had to cheer up.

The Grand Master has been operating in the court for many years, and his power is like a big tree with tangled roots. It is definitely not easy to pull it out in one fell swoop.This matter needs a long-term plan, but I said in front of the emperor that it only takes one year.well!I am still too anxious, I should talk about it for a few more years.

Xu Chengze was so immersed in his emotions that he didn't hear anything outside at all.

Until Alian came in to report, "Princess, Concubine Lin Xian of Zhongcui Palace brought the eldest son of the emperor to see her."

"Oh?"

The two of them are here?I haven't seen Guo Rui for several days.

Xu Chengze stood up and said, "I'll go out and meet them."

As soon as Xu Chengze went out, Guo Rui threw himself on his lap, looked at him with big eyes, and couldn't hide his excitement.

"Aunt Gui, my father said that I will have a teacher soon."

Xu Chengze squatted down, pinched his little round face lightly, "Okay! You have a teacher, you have to study hard!"

"I will." Guo Rui puffed out his chest, with a serious face, "The concubine mother said that you must study hard to be a good emperor in the future."

emperor. "

"Ruier!"

Concubine Lin Xian's complexion changed, and she stopped Guo Rui.

She smiled awkwardly at Xu Chengze, and bowed low.

"The concubine has met the imperial concubine. Sister, Rui'er is a shameless child, and he uttered wild words. Please don't take it seriously."

Guo Rui is just a prince. If he dared to say that he would become emperor in the future, it would be a troublesome matter if people listened to him.

Xu Chengze smiled faintly, "Concubine Xian, please come. There is no need for Concubine Xian to be nervous, I won't talk too much."

He took Guo Rui's little hand again, and said softly: "Rui'er, your thoughts are right. But, in this palace, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you can't talk nonsense about what you just said. Do you understand?"

Guo Rui nodded, blinked his eyes and said, "I know you can't say this casually, but Aunt Gui is different, I know Aunt Gui will understand."

"As long as you understand."

Xu Chengze patted his head, hugged him in his arms, let Concubine Lin Xian sit down, and then said: "Rui'er is still young, and still needs the patience and teaching of adults. However, a child as smart as Rui'er will definitely not It has failed the expectations of you and the emperor."

Xu Chengze is a man, his older sister's, he can't call it out, he can only be called Concubine Lin Xian.But to Concubine Lin Xian's ears, it sounded alienated.

She became more cautious, "The concubine came here this time to ask my sister for a favor."

Xu Chengze said: "I don't dare to say that of a concubine Xianfei. If you have something to say, just say it. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Yi Na came in to pour tea, and Concubine Lin Xian took a sip of the tea before she said, "With my sister's words, I feel relieved. I heard that the grand master's son wanted to be Rui'er's teacher, but he was a dude. The concubine really doesn't want to be famous, so I want to ask my sister to save face in front of the emperor, and the emperor vetoed this proposal."

The emperor didn't agree at all!

Although Xu Chengze knew what Guo Heng was thinking, he didn't say anything.If he said something, he would have to explain it, so don't make trouble for yourself.

Therefore, he just said: "Isn't it a good thing that the grand master's son wants to be a teacher for Rui'er? The grand master is powerful now, and his son is the uncle of the country. If he can be a teacher for Rui'er, Rui'er will marry the grand master." If he has a relationship, he will benefit greatly no matter whether he advances or retreats in the future.

place. "

Concubine Lin Xian's face was not very good-looking, and she hesitated for a moment, "Sister, what I said just now is sincere, although my background is not from a great family, and my knowledge is limited, I just hope that Rui'er can grow up safely and be an idle prince. , so the concubine doesn't want Rui'er to get too involved with the Grand Master."

Xu Chengze nodded, "It's rare for the concubine Xian to think so clearly. Why don't you tell the emperor personally?"

Concubine Lin Xian blushed and lowered her head slightly, "Don't be afraid of my sister's jokes, this concubine has not seen the emperor for some time. Moreover, I heard that the emperor has not had a concubine in the harem for some time. The concubine he has met recently , only my sister."

Xu Chengze's eyes widened in disbelief. Guo Heng hasn't been in the harem for so many days. Could it be that he is so young, so he can't do it?
