I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

The imperial garden at night was quiet and quiet, with a breezy breeze. Standing in it, Chu Yuzhao felt that his ears were finally no longer buzzing, and the depression in his heart was also washed away.

It's just that Luo Bai's magical singing voice will ring in his head from time to time: My friend Elvis... woo woo woo...

He shook his head, trying to shake the magic sound out of his mind, but Eunuch Cheng asked carefully behind him: "Your Majesty is a little cold?"

"It's okay, let's stand for a while."

Judging by Luo Bai's energy, it might take a while after taking a bath.

Several maids and servants passed by, and they were shocked when they found that the emperor was standing here. They saluted and left in a hurry, only thinking in their hearts, how could His Majesty stand in the garden in such a dark day.

Chu Yuzhao stood for a long time, then turned back to the bedroom, and Eunuch Cheng hurriedly followed with a lantern in his hand.

When he arrived at the entrance of the corridor, he said to Mr. Cheng: "You are tired today, go to bed early, and you don't need to watch the night."

"The old slave is not tired, the old slave can still watch the night."

Chu Yuzhao said in a calm tone: "Physician Wang is good at rheumatism, you can go to see him tomorrow and prescribe a prescription."

Cheng Shou was stunned, and understood that it was the emperor who saw that he was not walking very well today, and knew that he had rheumatism again, so he asked the imperial hospital to show his legs.

"Your Majesty, old slave, old slave..." Cheng Shou's eyes became hot, and he couldn't even say the rest.

Chu Yuzhao didn't say any more, and went straight to the bedroom, but stopped at the door of the house, facing the carved door and didn't move, until he was sure that there was no singing inside, then he opened the door and went in.

The room was very quiet, and there was no one there. The booklets that had fallen on the floor had been picked up and neatly piled up on the desk.He walked to the bathroom and saw that the door was open and there was no one in it.

Is this finally going back to Yuqing Palace?

Chu Yuzhao was surprised, but at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

It was getting late, and while he was untying the tie of his nightgown, he walked towards the big bed in the center of the room, but just as he walked around the screen, he was stopped by acupuncture points.

On the large bed carved with pineapple wood, someone was already lying on it at some point, the quilt was bulging, and a white hand rested on the quilt.

His eyes slowly followed that hand, and fell on a beautiful face, suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, he asked calmly: "What are you doing?"

"Sleep, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed." Luo Bai moved into the big bed to give more space, and also thoughtfully lifted a corner of the quilt, and warmly invited: "Come on the quilt, it's getting cold outside .”

Chu Yuzhao heard the sound of his teeth clinching, and tried to maintain calm: "If you want to stay here overnight, go to sleep on the soft bed in the green yarn cabinet."

"But I don't want to sleep on the bed, I want to sleep with me." Luo Bai slowly stood up, changing from a lying position to a sitting position.

The quilt slipped from his shoulders and piled up in a large circle around his waist, making it look like he was trapped in the quilt, making him look a little petite.The tie of the oversized nightgown had been loosened, a large area of ​​skin was exposed to the light, and a sunken shadow appeared on the collarbone, like a butterfly about to fly.

Under the light, Luo Bai's eyes were dark, his skin was like snow, and his lips were as red as a little crimson. Under the strong color contrast, there was a thrilling beauty.

Chu Yuzhao's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and only then did he suddenly realize that the boy in front of him was not a child, he was already an adult.

"Come on, let's sleep together." Luo Bai patted the empty side of the bed again, "I've washed all the smell away, and even the skin is wrinkled."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and moved a few fingers: "Look, look at my fingers, they are wrinkled."

Chu Yuzhao glanced over the exposed white wrist, and said coldly: "Get off my bed immediately and go to sleep on the soft bed."

Although Chu Yuzhao was angry at any time, Luo Bai was already able to tell from his words whether he was really angry or just a little bit angry.The current tone and expression mean that there is no room for relaxation in this matter, and Chu Yuzhao is really angry.

Luo Bai didn't dare to insist any longer, and while moving out of bed, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "You're so stingy, the bed is so big, not to mention I don't take up any space, so I just sleep in a corner..."

He moved to the side of the bed, put his feet into the clogs, moved his toes forward little by little, and muttered incessantly: "Get off my bed immediately and go to sleep on the soft bed, or I will go back to Yuqing Palace .You didn’t say it, or give me back to Yuqing Palace, I’m helping you finish the sentence.”

He raised his head, met Chu Yuzhao's gaze, and added firmly: "I'm going to sleep in a soft bed, and I won't go back to Yuqing Palace anyway."

Chu Yuzhao lowered his eyes and said nothing, watching him put on his shoes and then stomping towards the green yarn cabinet.

The Bisha cabinet is by a window, and there is a Guqin under the window. Chu Yuzhao would occasionally play the piano in front of the window, and when he was tired, he would go to the soft bed of the Bisha cabinet to rest.

"Where's my pillow? Where's the quilt?" Luo Bai asked loudly.

There were always pillows and soft quilts on the bed, and Chu Yuzhao knew that he was deliberately finding fault, so he ignored it.

"I want my own pillow and quilt, otherwise I won't be able to sleep." Luo Bai still said confidently.

Chu Yuzhao turned a deaf ear to his complaints, just picked up a book on the desk beside the bed, half-lyed down, and leaned against the back of the bed to read.

Luo Bai didn't continue to speak, and there was only the sound of beating the pillow from the side of the green gauze cabinet, obviously he also fell into a limp.

Chu Yuzhao took out a thin leaf-shaped bookmark polished with jade pieces from the page, and continued to read the contents of last night, but before reading two lines, Luo Bai suddenly let out a short exclamation.

"what!"

Chu Yuzhao was stunned, and sat up with a book. Before he could ask, Luo Bai over there said pleasantly again: "Ah! This pillow and quilt smell like my brother. Ah!"

Luo Bai leaned on the pillow and sniffed deeply, and said intoxicatedly: "It smells so good, it's all my brother's smell, it smells so good, it smells much better than after I soaked in the flower pond just now."

He hugged the quilt and rolled on the soft bed, rolled around, buried his face in the quilt to smell it, then rolled around again, buried his face in the quilt and took a deep breath intoxicated.

Sitting on the bed, Chu Yuzhao squeezed the book tighter and tighter, and finally couldn't help shouting: "Luo Bai, make a little more noise—"

"Just go back to Yuqing Palace." Luo Bai finished his words loudly, and then said kindly: "I know, I won't roll around and smell it, I will smell it quietly."

"It's not allowed to quietly hear it." Chu Yuzhao said sharply.

Luo Bai didn't care too much and said perfunctorily: "I know, I know."

In the following time, there was no movement from the Bisha closet, and Chu Yuzhao just half-lyed back on the bed and continued to read.

He stared at those few lines of words, but the image of Luo Bai hugging the pillow and sniffing couldn't help appearing in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

After a long while like this, he finally left the book distracted, got up, put on his shoes and went to the Bisha closet.Unexpectedly, just before the collapse, Luo Bai was already asleep.

He closed his eyes, his long eyelashes cast a curved shadow on his lower eyelids, a strand of hair rested on his cheeks, trembling slightly with his breathing, his lips were slightly parted, and a small pink tip of his tongue could be seen.

Chu Yuzhao turned around silently, turned back after taking two steps, and bent over to blow out the lamp next to Ruantao.

"Beautiful brother..."

He glanced towards Tsang, and found that Luo Bai was still asleep, but he just uttered a raving sound, turned over and faced inside again.

Chu Yuzhao returned to the bed, pulled the quilt to cover his body, and lay down straight, with his hands folded on his chest and abdomen.

There was a slow and fast beating sound in the distance: "Bang—bang bang! It's the third watch, everything is safe..."

Because of the sound of the watch, it made the night quieter. Chu Yuzhao knew that it would be another sleepless night. He would lie down and wait until dawn, and then go to court, listening to the quarrels of the courtiers with a splitting headache.

Every night, the breath in his body would surge, although it was not as severe as a severe attack, but there seemed to be a small knife embedded in the skull, and it would be stirred lightly from time to time, and the chest and abdomen would also feel stuffy. promote.

He was used to lying on the bed like this and waiting for the dawn. In the dull pain from time to time, he was in a daze for a while, which was right as a rest.

He thought of many things that happened tonight, and he couldn't help reaching out to touch his shoulder.He had already looked at it in the shower just now, the tooth mark on his shoulder was healing, and the bruise was fading away.

He lay down for a while, almost fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly realized that at this time, the breath hadn't flowed in his body yet.It didn't start to torture him silently when he closed his eyes and lay quietly like every other night.

Chu Yuzhao's drowsiness disappeared, and he stared at the bed curtain with wide eyes.

Why is this?

He remembered that Luo Bai and Xiaobao were able to direct the aura during the previous two seizures. Could it be that because Luo Bai slept in the room tonight, the aura was dormant and no longer came out to wander around?

When Luo Bai woke up, it was already dawn, he rubbed his eyes and sat up, just about to call Aunt Yuan Fu, when he realized that he was not in Yuqing Palace, but in the bedroom of Qiande Palace.

He got up staggeringly, and when he walked to the big bed, he found that Chu Yuzhao was no longer there, so he slowly climbed onto the bed and got into the brocade quilt.

Hmm... my brother's bed is really comfortable, and the smell is even better than Ruan Da Li.

Lying on the blanket filled with Chu Yuzhao's breath, Luo Bai quickly fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, the sun had already shined on the floor through the window sills, he was lazily motionless, and wanted to lie down for a while, but the door of the palace was pushed open, and two maids came in.

"My lord, are you awake?" A round-faced court lady put the basin in her hand on the table and said with a smile.

"I'm awake." Luo Bai replied lying down.

The round-faced maid pursed her lips and smiled: "Is the young master getting up now?"

Luo Bai asked, "Sister, where did my brother go?"

"Brother?" The round-faced maid was a little dazed, but another court lady came to her senses and said softly, "Your Majesty is going to court."

"When did he leave?"

"My lord, His Majesty went to court while you were still sleeping."

Luo Bai didn't ask any more questions, and let the maids wash himself, and put on new clothes.

Although he couldn't tell whether the fabric was good or not, he also knew that the new clothes were better than the ones he wore before. Although they were all crescent white, this one had silver dark lines, and the brilliance flowed with every movement of his hands and feet.

"This dress is really pretty." He looked back and forth in front of the bronze mirror held by the maid, and then pointed to himself in the mirror and asked the maid, "Sister, do you think this Elvis Presley is pretty?"

He was handsome in appearance, and his speech was innocent and ignorant. The maid liked him very much, and quickly praised him: "Beautiful, beautiful."

The court ladies became more courageous. The round-faced palace ladies were lively, and while arranging his clothes, they said: "If you will serve His Majesty well in the future, you will have all kinds of beautiful clothes you want."

"Servant? What is servant?" Luo Bai asked curiously.

The round-faced palace lady covered her mouth and smiled: "You slept in His Majesty's bedroom last night, wasn't it just a servant?"

Luo Bai nodded earnestly: "Oh, then I am indeed serving the bed. I sleep with my brother."

The two maids didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and they blushed. The other court lady glared at the round-faced maid.

After eating breakfast, he felt that he should go back to Yuqing Palace. He only took a day off at Yuanfu's place yesterday, and now it's the second day, so he has to go back.So he resisted the thought of going to the court hall to find his brother, and prepared to return to Yuqing Palace.

Luo Bai was very familiar with the way back to Yuqing Palace from Qiande Palace, and knew where to take a shortcut, so instead of following the main road, he walked through the forest and along the path beside the lotus pond.

After walking for a while, a small booth appeared at the intersection ahead, and the sound of conversation could be heard from a distance.

Luo Bai had never seen anyone on this road before, so he was curious and looked into the pavilion frequently while walking.When he got closer, he saw two people sitting in the clearing pavilion, one he didn't know, but he was quite pleasing to the eye, the other he met in the court hall, not only drank the tea he made, but also made his brother very uncomfortable. The happy person seems to be called King Lu.

King Lu Chu Yulu and Zuo Xiang Xin Yuan's son Xin Zhiqu were sitting here watching the lotus and talking about other things by the way.

Xin Yuan didn't make friends with anyone, and he didn't belong to any faction. Chu Yulu wanted to win him over, so he had to start with his son Xin Zhiqu.

Xin Zhiqu had just entered the Hanlin Academy, and he was still a young Hanlin. Although his father was a leftist, his family style was strict, so he didn't have much contact with the children of high-ranking officials in the capital. When he was looking for fun, he only read books in the mansion, and he became the one who was out of tune with other people.

In order to get closer to him, Chu Yulu took great pains, until he knew that he wanted to see the lotus in the imperial garden, but did not dare to ask his Zuoxiang father, so he thought of a way to get closer and brought him into the room with enthusiasm. up the palace.

Because of the unlucky timing, he didn't even go to the morning court today. When he got to the palace, he said he was not feeling well, so he asked for leave and left early.

It’s just that when Xin Zhiqu looked at the lotus, he really looked at the lotus. Whenever Chu Yulu tentatively handed out the words, he would talk about other topics, or simply drink tea and shut up.

Chu Yulu wisely stopped mentioning the court affairs, and the two drank the best tea and talked about mountains and waters over the pond of lotus flowers.

Chu Yulu made a joke, and Xin Zhiqu just picked up his tea when he heard footsteps coming from beside him.

The two followed the sound, and saw a young man with red lips and white teeth walking not far away. He was a little thin, wearing a crescent white gown, and his waist was bound tightly.

Luo Bai had seen Chu Yulu in the court hall, but Chu Yulu hadn't noticed him at the time, after seeing his face clearly, his eyes were amazed at first, and then a trace of doubt arose.

He was sure that he had never seen a character like Luo Bai in the palace, and if he had, he would never forget such a face.He was not dressed like a palace man either, and if he was not mistaken for that crescent white gown, the fabric used should be Muyun satin, a tribute from western Yunnan.

To be able to walk in the palace and wear such expensive clothes, could it be that some minister's family has never seen him before?

Thoughts flashed in Chu Yulu's mind, and a warm smile appeared on his face. He raised his teacup to Luo Bai, and invited him coquettishly: "My lord, the breeze is warm and the sun is fragrant. The only thing I can do is drink a cup of tea." Only good tea can live up to the beautiful scenery of early autumn."

Luo Bai couldn't understand the conversation he was talking about, but it didn't prevent him from being able to understand the word Qingcha, and he immediately thought of the tea he brewed for me in the court hall, but this person drank it.

It's fine to drink that cup of tea, but what does he mean now?

Showing off to me with a teacup?

Luo Bai was not very happy, and saw this man staring at him and smiling again, that smile was thick and sticky, like a layer of spider silk covering his body, which made him feel very uncomfortable.He snorted out of his nose, rolled his big eyes, and continued walking forward with his chin held high.

After Luo Bai walked a few steps, he stopped and turned back. Chu Yulu thought he had changed his mind, and the smile on his face became even bigger, and he raised his teacup again.

Then he saw the little boy carved in pink and jade, suddenly raised his nose with a finger, stuck out his tongue, and made a grimace at him.

Luo Bai saw that the smile on Lu Wang's face froze, and then he turned around satisfied and walked towards Yuqing Palace.

Chu Yulu turned to Xin Zhiqu who was on the opposite side of the stone table, and was about to say a few words about the young master, but saw that Xin Zhiqu was still looking at the end of the path, staring at the back for a moment.

He swallowed the words in his mouth, and only sipped the tea slowly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
