I marry the emperor

The next night, the Palace of the Son of Heaven was shining brightly.

Wang Muqing went to the palace to report on his work, and was left behind by His Majesty to have dinner with him afterwards, but it was already dark at this moment, and His Majesty was approving the papers, so he didn't want to disturb him, so he could only stand aside in a daze.

Wang Muqing was hungry, but fortunately, His Majesty stopped writing soon.

"Your Majesty finished the revision? Then..." The monarch and his ministers ate a bar together.

But before Wang Muqing finished speaking, he saw Shen Hongtao stepping on Wanshuang to deliver the scrolls, with a stack of paintings in his arms, roughly ten scrolls at the bottom.

Wang Muqing chose to leave immediately.

When he was studying, he was most afraid of this Mr. Shen. After all, who can bear to be put in front of the cold case for a day and paint with dye...

Shen Hongtao, besides being the teacher of the academy's painting class, has a more prominent identity, that is, the elder brother of the late empress, who can be regarded as the uncle of the current emperor, who loves to paint like a madman on weekdays.

Today is also for painting.

The literati bowed down and presented paintings: "Your Majesty, these are Rong Yuzhou's recent paintings."

Xiao Yu nodded back to the table, Quan Defu understood, and sent the painting brought by Shen Hongtao to His Majesty.

Uncle and nephew came and went quite frequently, Shen Hongtao looked at the king in front of him looking at the painting seriously, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In just a few dozen years, I never imagined that besides Your Majesty, there would be someone else who didn't want to be my apprentice.

This is the first time Xiao Yu heard Shen Hongtao mention this.

Xiao Yu waved his hands back, Quan Defu bowed his waist and retreated, Xiao Yu said indifferently: "Who?"

"The kid from the prime minister's family is a bit muddy, but he has a lot of spirit."

When Xiao Yu heard the words, he paused and said: "Does he still have such abilities?"

"No, the old man was shocked when he saw Rong Yuzhou's essays for the first time. It is rare to have such a talented son. At that time, the old man chased after Rong Yuzhou to coax him, and even chased him all the way to the prime minister's mansion, but he was like a mouse. When he saw the cat, he ran extremely fast. And in order to avoid the old man, that kid didn’t speak the truth.”

Little things lie?

Xiao Yu looked back and said: "How?"

"I asked him why he didn't want to, and he actually said that he was weak and weak."

Shen Hongtao's face was dark, and he couldn't bear to look back on the past.

Rong Yuzhou said that he was weak and Shen Hongtao naturally didn't believe it. Looking at the young man's rosy face, Shen Hongtao encouraged Rong Yuzhou: You are only twelve, so you can't say you are weak!

Rong Yuzhou rubbed his face: I'm exhausted, and I'm out of breath after walking too much.

Shen Hongtao: It's strange that you live without breathing.

So the young man frowned, covered his lips and coughed a few times: Cough...cough...Mr. Shen, to be honest, I can't handle a pen, and I can't take care of myself every day. I stayed in my hometown for more than ten years just to maintain my health. Now that I am in better health and return to study in Beijing, I have exhausted all my strength from the Fuchu to the academy every day, and it is impossible for me to hold a pen for so long every day.

Shen Hongtao believed it was true, so he gave up taking Yu Zhou as his apprentice.

In the next two years, he still greeted this student and allowed him to arrive late and leave early. Rong Yuzhou was the most favored student in Shen Hongtao's class.

Until three years ago when he was buying Danqing dyes in a shop, he saw Rong Yuzhou catching a running game cock on the street. His face was stained with ashes, his head was twisted with dry grass, his legs were running fast, and he was right in front of him in an instant. no shadow...

Only then did Shen Hongtao realize that he had been cheated.

Retelling this past event, Shen Hongtao's beard flew up.

"Your Majesty, look. This is what Rong Yuzhou said about being weak and unable to take care of himself. The prime minister is gentle and elegant. How come his only son is a jerk who just doesn't want to be my closed disciple. He even lied to me. "

Shen Hongtao cursed for a long time.

Quan Defu outside estimated that it would be too late for His Majesty to eat, so he knocked on the door and whispered to remind His Majesty that it was time for dinner.

Only then did Shen Hongtao calm down: "It's time already, Your Majesty hasn't eaten yet?"

Xiao Yu didn't care about it, he said calmly: "Can uncle eat in the palace?"

Shen Hongtao waved his hand and said: "I used it early at the mansion, and it's time to go out of the palace now. There are still classes in the Ming Dynasty, and I will save the remaining paintings of Rong Yuzhou, and I will present them to His Majesty when I enter the palace next time. "

Rong Yuzhou's paintings are really good, he wants to keep them and enjoy them secretly first.

Xiao Yu nodded back: "Alright, Quan Defu, send uncle out of the palace."

"No, no, your majesty should eat quickly, and take care of the dragon body."

After the people left, Xiao Yu opened the remaining picture scrolls and took a closer look. His deep gaze swept across the slowly unfolding paper in front of him, and his slightly condensed expression gradually eased.

Rong Yuzhou was a mess in the exams, but it was rare for him to catch Shen Hongtao's eyes.

Sure enough, Danqing is not bad.

At the same time, Xiao Yu was still imagining the scene of Rong Yuzhou angering the teacher in his mind.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old boys are the most noisy, and there must be more excitement in Haojing, otherwise Haojing has many naughty children, how could he be the only leader among them.

The king admired the painting for a while, and soon Wang Muqing came back.

Knowing that he should not disturb His Majesty's appreciation of the painting, Wang Muqing tightened his belt while hugging his chest, struggling with hunger.

After a quarter of an hour, Wang Muqing couldn't help it.

"His Majesty."

"Ah."

Xiao Yu frowned back, but he didn't look up from Rong Yuzhou's painting.

Wang Muqing rubbed his chin: "Could it be that Master Shen is thinking that His Majesty will go to his place to learn Danqing when he sees that His Majesty doesn't need to lead troops to fight?"

"No."

Xiao Yu turned back and opened his thin lips lightly: "He has a new candidate."

"New candidate?"

It is no secret that Mr. Shen cherishes talents and loves talents. The teachers of Qilong Academy all know Mr. Shen's thoughts for His Majesty.

Even when His Majesty appeared at Qilong Academy or attended banquets in the palace, Mr. Shen seized the opportunity to whisper in His Majesty's ear about His talent in drawing.

Wang Muqing was inconceivable: "Hahaha, which unlucky bastard is being targeted by him again?"

As Wang Muqing spoke, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. Looking at His Majesty's dark eyes, Wang Muqing remembered what he had just said.

What is unlucky guy, and he was targeted "again"...

Although he has a close relationship with His Majesty, His Majesty is His Majesty after all, and he should not be confused with the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.

The tense Wang Muqing immediately knelt down on one knee and apologized again and again: "I hope your Majesty will punish me for my words."

Xiao Yu didn't raise his eyes to look at him. After finishing reading the painting, he put it away carefully and tied it up with the original red silk. After packing up Rong Yuzhou's scrolls, Xiao Yu returned to loosen his frozen hand bones. One could vaguely hear Wang Muqing's rumbling stomach.

Xiao Yu replied silently: "Since you are hungry, why didn't you say it earlier?"

He can give people some refreshments.

Wang Muqing couldn't understand the emperor's expression, but the loyalty and courtesy in his bones still firmly held the upper hand. In addition, the clan had recently raised his face every day. Hungry."

But in the next moment, a loud bowel sound broke his lie.

Wang Muqing: ...

Wang Muqing's clasped hands trembled slightly.

Xiao Yu glanced back and lowered his head, his expression that had just slowed down was condensed again: "If you are hungry, you are hungry, and I will not deny you food. But since you are not hungry, I will not keep you to eat , go down..."

Wang Muqing's expression suddenly changed.

It turned out that His Majesty was angry at him for being inconsistent.

When Wang Muqing left tremblingly, Xiao Yu returned to the table full of delicacies and didn't care to move his chopsticks.

Since he returned to Haojing, Wang Muqing was not as comfortable as when he went out to fight. He was not really angry with Wang Muqing, but he thought that he and Wang Muqing had known each other for so many years, so they could make friends.

After all, it's been a while.

Xiao Yu stared sleepily at the only meat dish on the table, frowned and said: "Why is there meat on the table?"

Quan Defu was worried, he was the one who dared to push him today.

His Majesty has never liked meat since he was a child.

The old eunuch took a step forward and explained: "Your Majesty, this is the sweet and sour beef bone from the Imperial Dining Room."

"Sweet and sour beef bones?"

"The servant remembers that this was Mr. Rong's favorite dish at the time. A three-year-old baby could eat a dish in one meal, and even clamored for more after eating. The old imperial chef in the imperial dining room made beef bones. I was pestered by the young master several times."

The emperor's originally tense shoulder line loosened a little.

Seeing His Majesty's relaxed expression, Quan Defu continued: "Later, the young master left the palace, and the imperial cook returned to his hometown for the elderly. The servant specially found the son of the imperial cook more than ten years ago to make it. Your Majesty tasted it. The original taste? If the taste is right, would your majesty prepare some for the young master to taste?"

At present, this plate of sweet and sour beef bones has a bright sugary color under the light, and the white sesame seeds are evenly dotted on it, and the color is bright.

Xiao Yuhui had no expression on his face, and after a long time, he still stretched out his chopsticks.

The beef bone is juicy and delicious, salty and sweet.

After a few mouthfuls, Xiao Yu recalled and put down his chopsticks: "It's not sweet enough."

The old eunuch heaved a sigh of relief at the same time: "This old servant will tell the cook."

After saying that, he happily pushed the ox bone forward again.

Xiao Yu replied: ………

Even though Xiao Yu had already sighed when he returned after dinner, there was still a sweet and sour taste in his lips and tongue, and the figure of a certain little dandy was also circling in his heart.

He was still thinking about things, he was a little lazy, leaning on the red chair, looking light and light on his face, as if he didn't care about anything, but it was this cold and carefree that made the waiter feel uneasy. A standard number.

I'm not afraid that His Majesty will frown when criticizing papers, but I'm afraid that His Majesty will just sit like this and do nothing.

Years ago, His Majesty just sat in the imperial study for an afternoon, and the news came the next day that the king of Guang'an was exiled.

The king of Guang'an County is still a relative of the emperor, so if he says no, he will be gone.

But in fact, what Xiao Yu was thinking in his heart was whether the current courses in the academy were full or not.

He has never studied in the academy, but compared to his childhood education in the royal family, the academic arrangement of the academy can be described as extremely loose.

It's so loose, can Rong Yuzhou learn well?

Also, if this jade pendant is not returned, will Rong Yuzhou have to go to Jiaoying Tower again...

It was the first time that the emperor, who was busy with everything, was so irritable.

Rong Yuzhou outside the palace didn't know that he had become a life-saving talisman to coax the emperor to eat.

These days, he was either reading or painting, and when he was free, he would fish and play with birds. The mynah, which he had raised for half a year, flew away unbearably, and the two red carps in the Hibiscus Pond turned their bellies up.

Success drew another beating from the old prime minister.

Get a good beating and be good for two days.

But his heart had already flown outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After finally not having to continue painting, Yi Fuyu from Jiaoyinglou also left him a message asking him to come over tonight.

Maybe there is news about his jade...

This time Rong Yuzhou learned a lesson. Before coming here, he specially covered his face with ashes. It was a little darker than before, and he brought all the money he had saved recently.

Not enough for 80 taels.

And he promised to give 100 taels as a thank you gift...

Now is the busiest time in Jiaoying Tower, the tables and chairs are full, and the servants inside serve the guests deftly, and many of them even know Rong Yuzhou who is dressed like this.

After all, the young master is the only dark and handsome guest.

A baring of teeth is even more eye-catching.

"Master Yu is here, sit down quickly, Mr. Yu is sitting at Xitou."

"Thank you."

Rong Yuzhou nodded in a humanoid manner, and then went around to the west.

Wang Muyu came early and found a good place to sit. Seeing Rong Yuzhou coming, Wang Muyu twirled peanuts and said perfunctorily, "Zhouzhou is here."

Rong Yuzhou whispered: "I'll leave later."

"Okay, okay."

Wang Muyu waved his hand, his eyes were fixed on the stage, and he didn't hold back at all.

Rong Yuzhou suspected that Wang Muyu didn't hear what he said at all.

Looking at the jade girl on the side of the stage who was about to go on stage, Rong Yuzhou understood.

Wang Muyu is really good at it, and forgets righteousness when he sees color.

Not only does liking someone lose his mind, but he also loses his dandyism, which is really useless.

He is different, and will never lose himself because of feelings.

He, Rong Yuzhou, is super calm.

Rong Yuzhou thought so.

But the calm Rong Yuzhou only sighed a few times before rushing to get down to business.

During the day, Yi Fuyu sent someone a note saying that he had something to discuss, but Rong Yuzhou didn't know if he had found Yu, so now he asked the handyman in Jiaoyinglou to look for it more.

Within a quarter of an hour, Rong Yuzhou met almost all the handymen in Jiaoying Building, and there were two people sneaking around by a red pillar in a dark place.

This is Rong Yuzhou playing the white wolf empty handed.

Rong Yuzhou took out part of the monthly money he saved in the past half a month: "If you see antler-shaped sapphire, remember to pay attention to me, please little brother."

The little handyman is a newcomer in Jiaoying Building. He is timid when he first arrives, and he hesitates when he takes the money.

"Sapphire? Is it a valuable thing?"

"Preciousness is second to none. That jade means a lot to me. It was given to me by my grandfather before he died, so that I can pass it on when I marry a wife and have children. Now that the jade is gone, I will go to see you when I am dying. Grandpa didn't even face him!"

"The things left by the ancestors!"

The little handyman was touched, and hurriedly handed the money bag back: "In this case, I don't want the money anymore, I will help the young master keep an eye on that jade."

Rong Yuzhou took the money bag back, and said sternly with red eyes: "I'm really ashamed that my little brother is so virtuous."

The little handyman patted his head in embarrassment after being praised, and left with floating steps.

Rong Yuzhou was also in high spirits, he asked the handymen to help tonight without spending a penny.

He is really good.

When he was satisfied, Rong Yuzhou suddenly felt that someone was watching him.

Rong Yuzhou looked up, and saw Yi Fuyu resting his chin on the second floor at the stand window, the red scarf hanging from the window sill half covered his face, just covering his flattened lips, the other party lowered slightly The head looks at him from a height, so good to see that people are in a trance.

Ah, it's Yi Fuyu.

After looking at each other for only a moment, Rong Yuzhou's eyes were bright, and there was already an unconscious smile between his brows and eyes.

The author has something to say:

The little dandy greeted confidently: Hi~
