Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

It was early summer, and the weather wasn't too hot, but it couldn't be related to the cold anyway.

Shen Qingzhuo frowned slightly, walked to the bed, and reached out to touch the sweaty forehead of the little apprentice.

When the warm palm touched the hot forehead, the boy hiding under the quilt couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan: "Mmm..."

But in the next moment, Xiao Shen froze all over, quickly pulled up the quilt, and completely hid his round head.

I didn't want to pull it, but it was too hard, and the feet at the end of the bed leaked out again.

Shen Qingzhuo looked at the little apprentice who was careless about his head and feet, and asked dumbfoundedly: "What's the matter, do you hide when you see Master today?"

The boy wrapped in the blanket remained motionless.

Shen Qingzhuo pretended to be unhappy, and raised his voice slightly: "So, don't you want to see Mr.?"

"No! No! How is it possible!" From the quilt came the boy's vehement denial three times, his tone so resolute and unconvincing.

"Oh, why don't I believe it?" Shen Qingzhuo expressed his disbelief, and turned around, "Since you don't want to see your husband, then just leave."

"Sir!" This time, Xiao Shen was really anxious, and he lifted the quilt and sat up, "Sir, don't go!"

The corners of Shen Qingzhuo's lips curved slightly, and he turned back to put a smile on his face.

The young man was sitting on the messy bed, Xu Shicai was smothered in the quilt just now, his handsome blushing face was very cute, and he looked at him with wet phoenix eyes, with an indescribable expression on his face Wronged.

Shen Qingzhuo didn't know why, but the little apprentice was always so aggrieved in front of him, like a puppy that was soaked by the rain.

He took a step forward, walked back to the side of the couch, stroked the boy's temples that were wet with sweat, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Touched by the ice-cold fingertips, the vague and ungraspable shadows in his mind from last night suddenly materialized, Xiao Shen couldn't help but shuddered, and shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of those pictures that made him blush.

Shen Qingzhuo: "But I touched your forehead just now, and it doesn't seem like you have a fever. Is there any other discomfort?"

Xiao Shen: "No..."

"Then what's going on?" Neither this nor that, Mr. was confused.

The boy stammered: "I, I..."

He didn't dare to say, didn't dare to say what he did to his husband in his dream last night, and he didn't dare to say that there was a mess under him right now.

"Hey, isn't this my handkerchief?" Just then, Shen Qingzhuo found a corner of the handkerchief protruding from the quilt.

Xiao Shen was guilty of being a thief, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly stuffed the handkerchief into the bed, and said, "I didn't do anything!"

Shen Qingzhuo blinked his eyelashes suspiciously, and a not-so-good guess appeared in his mind.

The little apprentice has always liked to act coquettishly and sleep with him, saying that he likes the smell of his body, and now he is holding his handkerchief to bed, could it be...

Think of him as a mother?

He knew a phenomenon that some babies have to smell their mother's clothes to fall asleep after weaning. This is a manifestation of their extreme dependence on the mother's smell.

He was thinking wildly, Xiao Shen took the initiative to ask: "Mister came to see me early in the morning, what's the matter?"

"Ah..." Shen Qingzhuo dispelled the absurd thoughts in his mind for the time being, and returned to today's topic, "Didn't you say yesterday that you want the husband to teach you about men and women? The husband made a rough preparation."

As soon as this was mentioned, the young man's face showed enthusiasm visible to the naked eye, he hugged the quilt in a panic, and stammered: "Could it be too, too fast..."

Shen Qingzhuo was a little inexplicable, wondering: "Soon? Mister has always been a man of action."

Xiao Shen took a deep breath, and politely declined: "I have other arrangements today, sir, can you find another time?"

Shen Qingzhuo: "What arrangements do you have?"

"Training in the martial arts arena, and I have to pay my respects to the Queen Mother." Xiao Shen replied calmly.

"Okay." Shen Qingzhuo didn't delve into it, "Then when do you want to learn, then tell your husband."

When the child grows up, it is always necessary to let go.

Apart from arranging homework for the young apprentice, and answering questions every now and then, he arranges the rest of the time for the young apprentice himself.

"Yeah." Xiao Shen obediently agreed, rolled his dark eyes, and secretly glanced at Mr.

Shen Qingzhuo: "What's the matter?"

"Sir, I have to get up." Xiao Shen replied.

"You just get up." Shen Qingzhuo didn't understand why, and joked, "Could it be that you want Mr. to change your clothes?"

The young man clenched his hands and quickly replied, "No need!"

Shen Qingzhuo clicked his tongue softly, turned around and walked to the table, and couldn't help but mutter: "You, I don't know what you've been thinking about all day long in your little head."

Although in his heart, the little apprentice is still the little big dumpling when he first met, but since yesterday's incident, he also realized that in ancient times, 15 years old was the age to marry a wife and have children.

"No matter how old you are, Mr. will always be your Mr. So, if you have any doubts, you can tell Mr. straightforwardly, Mr. will definitely—" When Shen Qingzhuo raised his eyes again, he found that the young man had already put on his outer robe, He was frantically arranging the straps.

The words he wanted to say were stuck on his lips, and he was shocked by the terrible speed of the boy's dressing.

"I remember, sir." Xiao Shen raised his face, showing a gentle and lovely smile.

Putting on his coat and covering up the muddy stickiness of his body, he finally returned to normal.

"Well, you're good." Shen Qingzhuo smiled gratifiedly, "It's been a long time since I had breakfast with you, and today just happened to catch up."

***

At Chenshi, the carved dining table is full of delicious delicacies.

Shen Qingzhuo scooped up a spoonful of matsutake soup, blew it gently, and put it in his mouth.

And Xiao Shen was sitting opposite him, eating, his eyes were involuntarily glued to his husband's face.

The husband is picky and has a poor appetite. He always eats like a cat, eating in small bites, eating more elegantly and beautifully than anyone he has ever seen.

The hot air of the soup lingered, making Mr.'s complexion reddish, his red lips parted and closed, revealing his white teeth, and occasionally a bright red tip of his tongue spit out from the heat...

Xiao Shen suddenly lowered his eyes and swallowed heavily.

Something's wrong, he's so wrong, just looking at Mr. like this, his heart is beating like a "thump, bang, bang", so violently that it seems to jump out of his chest.

He unconsciously hunched over and put his two solid legs together to prevent his husband from seeing something wrong.

"Why don't you eat it? Doesn't it suit your appetite?" Shen Qingzhuo ate [-]% full and put down his chopsticks, only to find that the little apprentice was still in a daze.

"Ah?" Xiao Shen came back to his senses, "No, I was thinking about something just now."

"That's good." Shen Qingzhuo took the wet handkerchief from the maid, slowly wiped his slender fingers like jade, and ordered, "Go down first."

The maid who waited on her body responded: "Yes, my lord."

After dismissing the idlers and others, he asked, "Recently, the Queen Mother has frequently summoned you, is there any progress?"

Xiao Shen replied truthfully: "The Empress Dowager is eager to cultivate a family relationship with me, so I cooperated with her to play the role of ancestral love and grandson filial piety."

For some purpose, he subconsciously concealed the fact that the Queen Mother had asked him to befriend the Qi family.

"Very good, let's act first." Shen Qingzhuo nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "In the final analysis, the Queen Mother and our goal have the same goal. It's just that when you ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, we will have to cross the river and tear down the bridge, Queen Mother What can the empress do to me?"

Xiao Shen was startled, and muttered to himself: "Ninth Five Supreme...?"

"Otherwise?" Shen Qingzhuo raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the little apprentice with a half-smile, "Are you willing to go out of the palace in a few years and be an idle prince, and be subject to your enthroned brother for the rest of your life?"

Since ancient times, for the sake of the pinnacle of power, fathers, brothers, wives and sons have been killed. Under the noble dragon chair, there is dirty blood that cannot be wiped clean.

But born in the royal family, from the moment he was born, he was doomed to live and die.If you don't fight for power, you will be involved in the vortex of power. Seizing the heir is a life-and-death battle. There are only a handful of princes and princes who have survived for a hundred years in all dynasties.

Xiao Shen lowered his black and thick eyelashes, covered the look in his eyes, and replied softly: "Sir, do you want me to board the dragon chair?"

"Mr. will personally send you to sit on the dragon chair." Shen Qingzhuo put down the towel and said calmly, "You just need to learn how to be a wise king."

On that day, he will be able to retire.

"Okay." Xiao Shen replied solemnly, "If this is what you wish in your heart."

If it is what he wishes in his heart to be the emperor, then he will do whatever it takes to ascend to the throne.

"Come here first today. Mister is going to Beizhen Fusi on business." Shen Qingzhuo stood up and warned, "Don't miss your homework, Mister will check at any time."

Xiao Shen vowed: "I won't miss my homework, just do random checks, sir."

Shen Qingzhuo patted his head approvingly, "Good apprentice."

Xiao Shen stood at the entrance of the hall, waited for the familiar figure to completely disappear from his eyes, then turned around, the smile on his lips restrained at the same time.

The boy's facial features became sharper day by day, his outline became clearer day by day, he still showed a bit of childishness when he smiled and acted like a good boy, but once his face was expressionless, he revealed his inherent nobleness and awe.

"You, come here." He casually pointed to a little eunuch.

"Your Highness." The little eunuch quickly bent over and followed behind him, "What orders does Your Highness have?"

Xiao Shen sat back on the chair and said casually, "Go find some books for me."

The little eunuch: "May I ask what books Your Highness wants?"

"An ancient book that describes the love between men and women." Xiao Shen took a sip of tea without changing his expression, "It's best to have a book with pictures, the image is more vivid."

The little eunuch blurted out: "Pornography?"

Xiao Shen narrowed his phoenix eyes, "Find me everything you can find."

The little eunuch thought that he had made His Highness unhappy by doing something wrong, but he didn't want His Highness to summon him for such a romantic matter, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and replied: "Your Highness doesn't know, this kind of booklet is used in the palace. listed as a banned book."

Xiao Shen sneered: "Not only want me to spend scattered leaves to reproduce offspring, but also list the pornographic album as a forbidden book, it is extremely hypocritical."

Could it be that those brochures are more outrageous than the maid who forcibly stripped his clothes in broad daylight?

The little eunuch was obedient and didn't dare to answer loudly.

"No matter what kind of forbidden book it is, I can't help it. Your Highness limits you to find it within one day." Xiao Shen raised his eyes, his tone was cold, "Otherwise—"

Needless to say the rest of the sentence, the little eunuch knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly: "Yes, Your Highness..."

***

For several days in a row, Shen Qingzhuo was so busy that his feet never touched the ground.

Lian Zhong Kekao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, involved a lot in the case of favoritism and fraud. The more he investigated, the more dirty things were found in the dark.

The imperial examination system is one of the important ways for the Yong Dynasty to select talents. Compared with the hereditary system, the recommendation system, and the donation system of buying officials with money, it is more fair and just.

At the same time, the imperial examination also enabled the mobility of social classes. The so-called "poor family produces noble sons" means that students from poor families passed the scientific examination to enter the court and become officials, and had the opportunity to enter the ranks of participating in the political process.

For the rulers of Dayong, the upstart scholars selected through scientific examinations are also an important force to balance and curb the nobility of the family.

However, several generations of poverty have laid the foundation. Even if the poor students who passed the imperial examination enter the court, at most two to three generations will form a new intertwined family power. The imperial court needs to constantly absorb fresh blood through the imperial examination.

Therefore, Emperor Guangxi was very annoyed by the case of falsification in the imperial examination this year, and ordered Beizhen Fusi to investigate to the end. All the officials in the scientific examination were wiped out.

After staying up three nights in a row, Shen Qingzhuo finally couldn't take it anymore, and handed over the next interrogation to Wei Changping, and went back to Jiyue Pavilion to rest first.

When he first came to this world, the original owner's body was unbelievably weak. After several years of recuperation, although he would not be bedridden by the wind and cold, it was still not as tough as ordinary people.

He faintly sensed that there seemed to be something wrong, but after repeated examinations by the imperial physician, he still only came to the conclusion that he was delicate and weak, so he put it aside for the time being.

The evening wind of summer night blows, bringing some coolness.

Shen Qingzhuo was walking on the palace road, when a little eunuch came to meet him, without saying a word, he held a letter in both hands and handed it to him.

He took the letter, opened it, glanced at it twice, and understood.

During this period of time, while he was busy with official duties, he was also patiently waiting for His Royal Highness to think things through.

The letter came sooner than he had imagined.

The little eunuch left in a hurry, Shen Qingzhuo tore up the letter bit by bit, put it in his sleeve, turned around and went to the other side.

"Master." A cold voice sounded in the darkness, and the dark guards, all in black, seemed to blend into the night.

Shen Qingzhuo's indifferent voice drifted in the night wind, "I'm going to meet someone, just follow from a distance."

Dark Guard: "Yes, Master."

Not long after, Shen Qingzhuo arrived at the place designated by His Highness the Crown Prince.

In the deserted garden, Xiao Yichen was standing in front of the pond waiting for him.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murder and arson." He said with a distant smile, "The place chosen by His Royal Highness is wonderful."

Xiao Yichen sneered: "When did Qing Zhuo become so timid as a mouse?"

Shen Qingzhuo smiled but said nothing, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Since His Royal Highness asked him to come here for a secret talk, he must have come here without telling everyone.It was a dark and windy night, and this was the right place for him to kill.

As long as he calls the hidden guard hidden in the night, he will be able to solve the biggest trouble without anyone noticing tonight.

but--

Unfortunately, he can't do that just yet.

"Tell me, what information did you find out?" Xiao Yichen took the initiative to take two steps closer, "Stop playing tricks on me."

Shen Qingzhuo didn't play around with him, and cut straight to the point: "The case of Concubine Li falling into the water, the Holy Majesty handed it over to Jin Yiwei to investigate. In fact, Jin Yiwei was at the scene and found a physical evidence."

Xiao Yichen frowned: "Impossible. If there is physical evidence, why didn't you continue the investigation?"

Shen Qingzhuo asked back with a smile: "Yes, what do you think, His Royal Highness?"

"Could it be..." Xiao Yichen frowned deeper and deeper, "Is it to protect Concubine Zhao?"

"Right or wrong." Shen Qingzhuo took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, "Your Highness guessed half right."

Xiao Yichen's eyes tightened, he raised his hand and snatched the jade pendant, "What is this?"

Shen Qingzhuo: "This is the physical evidence that Jin Yiwei picked up back then."

Xiao Yichen looked back and forth at the jade pendant under the moonlight, "This jade pendant is so ordinary that nothing can be seen."

"Your Highness, take a closer look." Shen Qingzhuo reminded, "Isn't Your Highness familiar with the pattern engraved on this jade pendant?"

Xiao Yichen looked at it, his complexion suddenly changed.

According to Dayong's practice, the objects in each palace will be engraved with corresponding patterns as identifications. Only the queen's central palace can be engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, and the patterns on this jade pendant are clearly the dragon and phoenix.

"Impossible..." He squeezed the jade pendant tightly, and stepped forward suddenly, "Where did you get this jade pendant?"

The hidden guard in the shadow moved, and the sword pinned to his waist was unsheathed silently.

Shen Qingzhuo made a gesture with his back turned to him, and the sword was sheathed again.

"His Royal Highness, I have already delivered the item. Whether you believe it or not, whether to check it or not, and how to check it later, is up to you, Your Highness." Shen Qingzhuo's face was calm, and his tone was frank, "I said that at the beginning. Well, if this old case is investigated, the result may not be what His Highness expected. But tonight, His Highness invited me here."

Xiao Yichen's breathing intensified, and he looked at him with fierce and gloomy eyes.

"The minister is now in charge of Beizhen Fusi, and the burden on his shoulders is very heavy. I can't share the worries for His Highness. I hope His Highness will forgive me." Shen Qingzhuo took two steps back, cupped his hands and said, "Tonight, the minister has never appeared."

After saying that, he turned around lightly and wanted to leave.

"Shen Qingzhuo!" Xiao Yichen suddenly shouted and stopped him, but he didn't continue.

Shen Qingzhuo paused slightly, and said softly: "Your Highness, Qingzhuo has never forgotten the three years he stayed in the East Palace."

Xiao Yichen: "Unfortunately..."

"His Royal Highness, Qing Zhuo is just a small Beizhen envoy, working for the Holy Majesty, acting in fear and trepidation, as if walking on thin ice." Shen Qingzhuo seemed to sigh, "Your enemy has never been me."

The moonlight was like water, Xiao Yichen stood there with a complicated expression, looking at the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes were dim.

***

After such a delay, when Shen Qingzhuo actually stepped into the Jiyue Pavilion, it was past the time of Xu.

He walked towards the inner hall with a tired expression, but saw a familiar figure flying towards him.

"Sir!" Xiao Shen stopped his steps, barely stopping in front of Mr., "You are finally back!"

Shen Qingzhuo was prepared to be knocked back by the little apprentice, but now he was not as expected, and felt a little bit disappointed, and asked with a chuckle, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It didn't take long." Xiao Shen shook his head, his eyes fell on the gentleman's face, and his brows suddenly raised, "Why is the gentleman's face so pale?"

"Is there?" Shen Qingzhuo subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, and denied, "Mr. is only white, not pale."

Xiao Shen looked at him suspiciously, and couldn't help worrying: "Sir, are you still very busy these days?"

This damn Fusi of Beizhen made Mr. busy every day without touching the ground, and the time to meet him was greatly shortened.

The only good thing is that he also has the opportunity to do some things, some things that the husband may not like...

"Let's go in first." Shen Qingzhuo raised his chin and asked as he walked, "Is dinner available?"

"Dinner is over." The boy obediently followed behind him, "Mister must have not eaten yet, right? I can have another meal with him."

"Alright." Shen Qingzhuo smiled, "You are growing your body, eat a few more meals, and grow faster."

After entering the palace, they washed their hands, and the palace people served the dinner in an orderly manner.

The busier Shen Qingzhuo was, the worse his appetite became. After a few mouthfuls, he didn't want to eat anymore. Under the patient cajoling of the little apprentice, he reluctantly took a few mouthfuls of soup.

"Mister must not have had a good meal." Xiao Shen's tone was low, and it was rare for him to say firmly in a tone that could not be refused, "From now on, whenever I am free, I will come to eat with sir."

Shen Qingzhuo said perfunctorily, "I'll be fine after a few days of busy work."

"Hmph!" The young man hugged his arms angrily, his thin lips were flattened habitually, "Mister is disobedient, doesn't eat well, doesn't eat well, and doesn't rest well, so it's okay for Laoshizi Beizhen to do it!"

Shen Qingzhuo leaned on the back of the chair relaxedly, and joked: "Good apprentice, why don't you become my husband instead?"

Xiao Shen's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't dare to answer.

After resting for a while, Xiao Shen took the initiative to say: "Sir, when are you going to teach me about men and women?"

"Pfft——" Shen Qingzhuo was holding a sip of hot tea, and almost spit out the tea when he heard the words, "cough cough...why is it so sudden?"

"No, it's been a long time since last time." Xiao Shen looked innocent, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, why not just today!"

Shen Qingzhuo: "..."

Speechless, he still had to fulfill the obligation of the first teacher.

He returned to the bedroom, took out the relevant materials that he had prepared, and then sat opposite the little apprentice.

Xiao Shen sat obediently on the chair, with a pair of bright eyes shining with desire for knowledge, "It's time to start, sir!"

"Hmm..." Shen Qingzhuo pondered for a while, "It's not your turn to teach you these things, but since my husband has promised you, I will do my best."

He himself has not received this kind of education, but he has to bite the bullet and teach his young apprentices.

"Yeah!" Xiao Shen nodded his head.

Shen Qingzhuo continued: "The love between men and women, to put it more elegantly, is to describe the mutual admiration and love between men and women."

He decided to start from the shallow to the deep, first explaining the beauty of love between men and women to his young apprentices, and after laying a certain emotional foundation, he then went deep into the physical level.

"Sir..." The boy rested his chin on the book, rolled his beautiful eyeballs left and right, and stammered, "I want to ask a question..."

Shen Qingzhuo looked up at him subconsciously, "Ask."

The gentleman looks calm and composed on the surface, but in fact he has no confidence in his heart. In case the little apprentice asks him something he doesn't know...

Xiao Shen straightened his back and looked at him with burning eyes: "Sir, must it be love between a man and a woman?"

Shen Qingzhuo didn't understand for a moment: "Huh?"

Xiao Shen asked solemnly: "Isn't it okay for men to love men?"

Shen Qingzhuo's pupils trembled: "?"

The author has something to say:

Mr.: In theory, it is also possible. The ancients called it the addiction of Longyang...

Wolf Cub: Oh yeah, I've actually researched it thoroughly.

Please cherish the innocent puppy who is in love at the beginning, once it grows up, it will be stuffed with sauce...

Double more in one, nutrient solution plus more in it!
