After the rebirth, I became the darling of the tyrant

Gu Chen picked up the wine glass and was about to bring it to his lips, but suddenly stopped.He twirled the wine glass and looked carefully at the fine patterns on the glass.

He recognized the patterns.

On the night of the hangover, Xiao Tingshen used this wine set to drink with him, and then he passed out, and then...

Gu Chen felt a pain in his heart.

It was as if thousands of little bugs crawled across his heart, gnawing at his heart. The pain made his breathing stagnate, and the blurred and fragmented memories of that night were suddenly brought before his eyes.

He squeezed the wine glass tightly almost instantly.

The patterns on the celadon are very beautiful, perhaps because they are often filled with floating celadon, or it may be something else, these patterns are indeed as the shopkeeper said, moist, bright, and very beautiful, but they are thorny. Chen's eyes are sore.He still remembered the unspeakable shame, the strange feeling in his body after waking up, and the worried look in his mother's eyes...all of them turned into a heavy hammer and hit him hard.

The floating celadon is their past friendship, and this wine glass is the absurdity of that night, it clearly spread everything in front of Gu Chen's eyes——

They couldn't be friends anymore.

No matter how reluctant Gu Chen is, how sad, how regretful, they can no longer be friends.He died under Xiao Tingshen's imperial decree in his previous life, and in this life he was forced to sleep on Xiao Tingshen's dragon couch. Whether they voluntarily or not, they will no longer be friends, nor can they become pure monarchs and ministers, even pure emperors and domestic favorites. Not really.

Gu Chen put down the wine glass slowly: "I can't drink it, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Ting raised his eyes sharply and frowned.

"I have no merit or virtue, and I am ashamed to accept Your Majesty's grace." Gu Chen said calmly, almost believing it himself.

Xiao Ting sat silently, staring at the wine glass in front of him.After a long time, he seemed to realize the real reason why Gu Chen didn't drink, and put the wine aside.

It was indeed his fault that night. He lost control and pushed the relationship between the two into an unknown abyss when his patience reached the limit.Immediately after that meeting seven days ago, it was him again, and the two broke up unhappy.

He stared at the glass of wine for a long time before he said: "I remember that you like calligraphy very much. When you were studying, you visited all the pen studios and inkstone studios in Beijing."

...Why did he suddenly mention this?

Gu Chen really liked to visit these places when he was a teenager, but Xiao Tingshen liked to go to taverns. The two often rolled dice to decide where they should go today.Xiao Tingshen was unlucky and always lost to him, so he was also forced to become a frequent visitor to the brush studio and inkstone studio.

"You have always wanted a rhinoceros horn pen washer, but unfortunately most of those things are tributes." Xiao Ting continued, "I once promised you that if the emperor rewards you, I will give you one."

He stopped and didn't continue talking, and Gu Chen also knew why - the late emperor really didn't pay much attention to Xiao Tingshen, and almost forgot that he had such a son.When Gu Chen met Xiao Tingshen for the first time, he didn't know he was a prince.He was wearing old clothes, and he didn't even have a decent jade pendant around his waist. The other princes used rice paper, but he used hemp paper...

After being silent for a while, Xiao Ting continued: "Fan Nan paid tribute a few days ago, and happened to get one, I will give it to you."

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows in doubt, thinking that it had been so long, what did Xiao Tingshen say this for?So he shook his head slightly, and said: "I thanked Your Majesty, but it is too precious, and I dare not accept it."

Xiao Ting stared at him deeply for a while: "It's been too long, you don't like it anymore?"

"I'm not—"

"So, do you still like the "Northern Vietnam Monument" last time?"

"...I like it."

"seen it already?"

"……Yes."

In fact, it is still in the hands of my sister Gu Lian.

"Since I like it," Xiao Ting pondered for a while, "There are still many lonely copies in my library, what do you want? I will give it to you."

Gu Chen froze in surprise.He has already realized something - no wonder Xiao Tingshen's methods are so familiar, isn't this, isn't it the same as the former emperor's routine when coaxing his favorite concubine! ?

My favorite concubine loves the qin, so the first emperor searched for the qin for her; my favorite concubine loved the music, so the first emperor ordered all the musicians in the palace to compose music for her only; Fill in the lyrics!

Gu Chen originally thought that Xiao Tingshen was far from his father and had no resemblance at all, but he had learned a lot about the methods of domestic favors! ?

He thought it was funny at first—it turned out that His Majesty might feel that he was angry when he went around in such a big circle, so he wanted to coax him, so he made some inexplicable actions; Some people regard him as a favorite domestic pet, and even go out of their way to coax him.

He should be happy: this means that Xiao Tingshen has a strong interest in him, and there is no sign of "falling out of favor" for the time being, and he wants to use this interest to drag the tyrant from the previous life back from the edge of the cliff; but another On the other hand, he couldn't help but feel sad: he should have been galloping fast in Yanbei, and should have bent his bow to defend the border of Dajing, but he was trapped in the prosperous and prosperous Shenjing with such an embarrassing identity, and was treated as a prisoner by the emperor. pet……

He sighed with mixed feelings.

"Your Majesty, you..." He paused for a long time but couldn't find a suitable wording. Finally, he could only smile helplessly, "Your Majesty Long En, but this minister is disrespectful. Since Your Majesty must reward you, then listen to your words."

He meant to accept it.Xiao Tingshen immediately said: "Just say it, no matter what, I will promise you."

Gu Chen thought for a while: "I have already negotiated with He Zhe. I think that He Zhe will never agree to stay in Dajing."

Although he was a little surprised that Gu Chen suddenly mentioned this matter, Xiao Tingshen still expressed his approval: "I think so too."

"If the Yan family can agree, then this matter may still have a chance of success." Gu Chen said, "Zhao Zhongqi is the only chance."

He took a deep look at Xiao Ting: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to ask you to go to Zhao Zhongqi after leaving Beijing for ten days..."

"No!" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Tingshen stopped, and then he took a deep breath, his tone calmed down, but he was still firm, "No, I will send someone to look for it, you are not allowed to go."

"Your Majesty!" Gu Chen raised his voice, "Your Majesty should know Dr. Zhao Boyong in the minister's house. He and Zhao Zhongqi are siblings from the same mother. Only when the minister goes, the possibility of Zhao Zhongqi's willingness to come will be greater—— "

"—If he doesn't want me, I will order someone to tie him up!" Xiao Ting was furious, "Anyway, you can't go!"

"...Your Majesty just said that you can give me any reward you want."

Gu Chen's tone was still gentle, but Xiao Tingshen was choked.He got up abruptly, took a few steps in the pavilion, and then turned around quickly, his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "It's a big deal, I won't make peace, even if there is a war, I will not be afraid of Baiyi! What's more, They're greedy—"

"Your Majesty really thinks so?" Gu Chen quietly stared at the irascible emperor, he knew that if he could choose to go to war, Xiao Tingshen would never be willing to send the princess to marry - not because he cared so much about the relationship between siblings, but he was more inclined Solve problems simply and effectively with direct and violent means.

If you don't accept it, fight until you are convinced, this is Xiao Tingshen's style of action.

Sure enough, Xiao Tingshen was choked again.He suddenly looked at Gu Chen, stared at him for a while, and then said through gritted teeth: "Anyway, if you change to another reward, I will do whatever you want."

Gu Chen smiled helplessly: "I have nothing else to ask for."

Xiao Ting was so angry that he grabbed a wine glass and threw it out. There was a crisp clang, which frightened the two young eunuchs at the door of the corridor to shrink their necks, and dared not breathe out.After a while, one of the young eunuchs bravely looked into the pavilion and saw the emperor pacing back and forth angrily, obviously in a state of rage.

Then, he was slapped on the back of the head.

"Do you still dare to watch?" Wei Dequan folded his hands in his sleeves, smiling subtly, "You are not small."

The young eunuch is a direct descendant of Wei Dequan, and has a close relationship with the big eunuch, so he is extra courageous.He shrank back and whispered: "Godfather, what is Your Majesty doing?"

Wei Dequan looked up at the sky, as if the old god was there: "Coax people."

The little eunuch's eyes widened in disbelief, and he couldn't help but look back at the emperor who was mad and smashed his glass: ...is this called coaxing?

He scratched his head, and couldn't help asking another question: "Godfather, it's obviously suitable for Mr. Gu to go, why doesn't His Majesty allow it?"

...Maybe it's worrying.

Wei Dequan thought so, but he didn't say it out of his mouth.As Xiao Tingshen's personal eunuch, he knew many things, for example, the empress dowager did not agree with the marriage.

He had met the Empress Dowager many times in the deep palace, she was the most powerful woman in the Dajing Dynasty, and it was she who single-handedly created the prosperity of the Wang family today.She has a kind face, but at the same time has a strong wrist, and she doesn't like anything or anyone who is disobedient or beyond her control.

The emperor was worried that Gu Chen, who had done the most for the marriage, would attract the Queen Mother's attention.

Of course, these thoughts were just going around in Wei Dequan's mind.He glanced at the little eunuch: "Where do you talk so much? Let me tell you, you can't say a word about what happened here today, do you hear me?"

The little eunuch shut his mouth immediately and nodded repeatedly.At this moment, the emperor roared from inside: "Go, go!"

That Mr. Gu's voice was calm, he probably said a few words of thanks, and then walked out.When passing by the little eunuch, the little eunuch glanced at him secretly - the handsome face was exceptionally calm, without even the slightest fear or depression, and the man even nodded to him when passing by him.

... God-man!

The little eunuch stared at Gu Chen's back and gradually moved away. After a while, another loud shout came from inside: "Wei Dequan!"

Wei Dequan responded, walked into the pavilion very smoothly, and saluted Xiao Tingshen.The emperor was rubbing the center of his brows. Although he restrained his emotions, Wei Dequan could still hear a trace of imperceptible annoyance.

"Go, send someone." Xiao Tingshen said, "Protect him."

The eunuch had a calm expression: "Here."
