[Quick wear] His ex, he overturned again
Chapter 49 The tyrant's favorite concubine
Three days later, the Mid-Autumn Festival feast arrived as scheduled.
Du Jin tidied up his official uniform and hat for the last time before stepping into Qianmen. A man's hearty laughter came from behind him.
"What a coincidence, Master Du."
Du Jin turned his head and saw Zhou Jie, who was also an advising doctor, and smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhou got a copy of Gu Yan's original work. I will first congratulate Mr. Zhou for getting what he wanted."
Zhou Jie stroked his beard and said triumphantly, "It's a fluke, a fluke."
Now that they met, the two went to Tai Chi Palace to have a banquet together.
As he walked, Du Jin sighed worriedly, "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, there has never been a banquet. For some reason, this Mid-Autumn Festival suddenly held a banquet."
According to the ancestral system, there is indeed a banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the new emperor has always regarded the ancestral system as nothing, and even canceled the big banquets such as the celebration of the suburbs and the Yuan Day.
He felt more and more that this was a grand feast and that there was no way back.
"The king's heart is unpredictable, you and I should be cautious." Zhou Jie also sighed, "Talk about the origin of the concubine that His Majesty Xin accepted."
It is a good thing for His Majesty to concentrate on government affairs, but he is too unfeminine, this emperor's heir...
But no one dared to say.
Having said that, let's take a step back, no one wants their daughter to be weak before entering the palace, but to swing a sledgehammer to make a tiger after leaving the palace.
His Majesty is willing to accept a concubine, but the concubine's name, family background, and appearance are all unknown, which is really a bit weird.
"Lord Zhou, be cautious in your words and deeds." Du Jin lowered his voice and looked left and right without leaving any trace.
Zhou Jie immediately fell silent and stroked the sweat on his forehead.
……
In Weiyang Palace, Ke Yi sat in front of the dressing table, his whole body stiff.
His chin was raised, and he was forced to look directly at Chu Xiu's handsome face. The soft tip of the pen was drawing on the forehead, which made him tremble uncontrollably.
"do not move."
The fingertips resting on his chin became slightly heavier, Chu Xiu's breath fluttered his eyelashes, and Ke Yi held his hands tightly under his wide sleeves.
"Okay, what does the imperial concubine think?"
Chu Xiu put down his pen, held the back of his head, and forced him to turn his head and look at the bronze mirror.
Coy was taken aback.
In the mirror, he had his hair combed in a bun, a red gold phoenix swayed, and a pink and white pattern was painted on his forehead.
He glanced at it, then looked away, and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty...the painting is excellent."
The fingertips under the wide sleeves pierced into the palm.
He is a man, how can he wear women's clothing, no matter how soft the fabric is, he will feel uncomfortable wearing it.
But it's really, the best way.
Although his father returned home, he still had old acquaintances in court. It was hard for him to imagine that after he was recognized, his father would lose face.
He had already disobeyed his father once.
"My noble concubine is really beautiful."
Chu Xiu chuckled, dipped a little rouge on his fingertips, and lightly tapped on the young man's pale cheeks.
Ke Yi lowered his eyes and reached for the veil on the table, but Chu Xiu grabbed his wrist.
His tone was low: "Is it so shameful to be my man?"
Ke Yi whispered: "My concubine's father is not in good health and cannot be stimulated anymore. Please allow me to wear a veil."
After a pause, he closed his eyes, "As long as Your Majesty agrees to this concubine, I will... Do whatever you want with Your Majesty."
The room was silent for a while, and then there was a sudden clunk of his wrist, and Chu Xiu's uncertain voice came over.
"That's what you said."
Coy picked up the veil and put it on his face.
"Your Majesty, the hour is approaching."
The servant said respectfully.
"Let's go." Chu Xiu said lightly.
Ke Yi stood up, almost tripping over the cumbersome embroidered skirt, the emperor's ceremonial guards and seats were parked outside the hall, and according to the rules, he was not allowed to sit on them.
He looked back, but there were no other seats.
Chu Xiu probably wanted him to follow behind.
So, Ke Yi turned around silently, intending to walk there, but heard Chu Xiu's cold voice behind him.
"come over."
The young emperor sat on the unraised seat, leaning on the armrest with one hand, resting his slender fingers on his temples, and his long and narrow eyes were dark and terrifying.
Ke Yi followed without knowing why, and was pulled into his arms by Chu Xiu.
The veil shook, revealing the young man's flustered face, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, this... is against the rules."
"I am the rule." Chu Xiu clasped the young man's slender waist with a lazy voice.
"Your Majesty." Ke Yi knelt down, his steps rustled softly, and he gritted his teeth, "Are you trying to imitate Emperor Cheng?"
Emperor Cheng dotes on Concubine Chen, takes whatever he wants, arbitrarily enshrines Concubine Chen's parents and brothers, and even grants the imperial throne to Concubine Chen for use. Foreign relatives intervene in politics and run amok. Emperor Cheng ends up being stabbed to death by a servant.
The accompanying maids and servants all lowered their heads deeply.
These words are really... outrageous.
"The noble concubine is really virtuous." Chu Xiu smiled, let go of the young man, and said condescendingly, "In that case, the noble concubine will follow behind."
The seat was raised, and Koy followed. Slowly, he found that he couldn't keep up with the pace of the servants.
The woman's dress was cumbersome, her embroidered shoes were one size too small, and her toes hurt. After he was forced to test the medicine a few days ago, his body had been exhausted.
Yesterday he discovered that he couldn't even use lightness kung fu.
And the servant who was carried away walked so fast and steadily that he had to trot to keep up.
Soon, his bun came loose, his legs were shaky, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.
His body is much worse than expected.
When he was young, although he was not as good as a warrior, he knew a thing or two about the six arts of a gentleman.
Now, even walking from Weiyang Palace to Taiji Palace is very difficult.
And Chu Xiu's situation back then was even worse than him, and the unfavored prince had a harder life than the slaves around the concubine.
Due to the lack of charcoal fire in winter, Chu Xiu's share was reduced again and again. He was weak and often got sick from the cold, and even the imperial physician who treated him was perfunctory.
So he had no choice but to hide the medicinal materials outside the palace in his sleeves, went to the Taixue and secretly brought them to Chu Xiu, so that the inner garments of several of his clothes smelled of the medicinal fragrance.
He thought absentmindedly, almost stepped on his skirt again, and staggered a few steps before stabilizing his figure.
With this delay, he fell behind.
Koy was about to lift up his skirt, and when he trotted a few steps forward to catch up, Zuo Ruo suddenly stopped.
He ran a few steps and waited on Chu Xiu's right hand side, panting softly.
Chu Xiu looked at the young man with disheveled hair and reddish eyes, which coincided with the young man who defended him everywhere.
There was a sudden irritability in my heart.
He got off his seat suddenly, pulled the young man over and picked him up forcefully, and walked towards the Tai Chi Palace.
Startled, Ke Yi grabbed Chu Xiu's shoulder and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, this..."
"If the ministers see my noble concubine, she will run like the servants." Chu Xiuhan said, "You have no shame, but I have no shame."
Ke Yi lowered his eyes, and with his fingertips under his sleeves, he gently pinched Chu Xiu's lapel.
He was carried all the way into the main hall of Taiji Palace. The main hall was already full of officials according to their ranks.
"Weichen see Your Majesty."
The voices of greeting and saluting were uniform, and Ke Yi was uneasy, but when he wanted to get up, Chu Xiu held him by his side.
After the salutes were finished, all the ministers secretly glanced at the noble concubine next to the emperor, wanting to see the origin of this woman who can make His Majesty concubine in one fell swoop.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, the imperial concubine's temples are loose, and her steps are swaying in her hair. Although she is wearing a veil, she can still see that the tails of her eyes are red, delicate and panting slightly. Think about what happened before.
This……
Your Majesty really loves the concubine.
There is only one exception.
Koy was made uncomfortable by the prying eyes of the ministers, for fear of being found out that he was a man.
According to the seating order, his position should be on the lower left hand, but Chu Xiu clasped his waist tightly, unable to move at all.
He hurriedly glanced over the ministers at the banquet, his eyes froze on a man.
The man was about thirty, tall and tall, with an overly familiar appearance.
That's his... big brother!
Ke Yi caught sight of the man unexpectedly, his eyes darkened, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Why is brother here.
He subconsciously covered the veil on his face, his elder brother probably wouldn't recognize him like this.
Please do not.
"Your concubine, your elder brother has made great achievements in water control, and I have always used him." Chu Xiu felt the nervousness of the young man, and smiled softly, "Such a good opportunity, will the concubine not recognize his relatives?"
Koy took a breath, and, ignoring any etiquette, grabbed his sleeve and shook his head pleadingly.
Absolutely not, if he is recognized, his elder brother will definitely be stabbed in the back, saying that it is because he has become His Majesty's pet, and his nepotism can be used by His Majesty.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes, but did not answer.
His Highness' ministers began to say congratulatory speeches and presents, but Ke Yi didn't listen to a word, and lowered his head as if sitting on pins and needles, for fear that Chu Xiu would suddenly pull his veil, or that his brother would suddenly recognize him.
He has a hunch, brother, has been staring at his face.
There were so many gifts sent by the minister. Chu Xiu put his arms around the young man and looked sideways at the young man's trembling eyelashes. Instead, the attendant sent a statue of Guanyin, which is said to have been blessed by the master, and it was very effective. , he became interested, asked the servant to bring it up, and placed it on the table in front of Ke Yi.
"Imperial concubine." He said with great interest, "I would like to give birth to a prince."
He did not lower his voice for these words, and they were clearly heard by the ministers amidst the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras.
Koy bit his lip in shame and turned his head.
Chu Xiu sneered, and suddenly pressed the corner of the veil. Keyy broke out in a cold sweat and covered Chu Xiu's hand with a small and trembling voice.
"I give birth, Your Majesty..."
Ke Xu looked at the picture of the deep affection of the concubine in the palace, and his suspicions became heavier and heavier.
This imperial concubine's facial features and stature are too much like his younger brother who has disappeared for four years.
He stood up abruptly, raised his wine glass, and said loudly: "I wish your Majesty a long live, and the imperial concubine a thousand years."
After speaking, he drank it down.
Ke Yi lowered his head, his brother's voice was very familiar to him, after four years of separation, his heart felt sour.
Suddenly, the palm of his hand was stuffed into a wine glass, and he looked up at Chu Xiu in a daze.
Chu Xiu smiled lowly and said, "I congratulate you, my concubine, you have to say something."
Du Jin tidied up his official uniform and hat for the last time before stepping into Qianmen. A man's hearty laughter came from behind him.
"What a coincidence, Master Du."
Du Jin turned his head and saw Zhou Jie, who was also an advising doctor, and smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhou got a copy of Gu Yan's original work. I will first congratulate Mr. Zhou for getting what he wanted."
