Raise an emperor as a villain

In the end, neither Lu Hengxiu nor Luo Wenxi stayed in the palace until the New Year, but left one after another before the new year.

Lu Hengxiu only brought Ying Shisan to guard the safety, left the palace very low-key, and lived in the meditation room of Fayun Temple.

Luo Wenxi, on the other hand, was more beautiful, and he had attracted much attention since he returned to Beijing. When he left the palace this time, many courtiers came to congratulate him on his housewarming.

As soon as the two left, Su Wang's mansion was completely deserted.Except for some servants for daily maintenance, the shadow guards and the guards of the palace were all transferred away, and the huge palace became a gorgeous empty shelf.

It snowed heavily on New Year's Eve, and a grand family banquet was held in the palace. It was the end of this troubled year and ushered in a new era.

Ming Jue had no empress, and the central palace was empty, so the family banquet was organized by the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the place was chosen in the Tianxiang Garden in the Imperial Garden.

As night fell and the lights came on, there was a scene of peace in the singing and dancing room.

Ming Jue sat at the main seat, the Empress Dowager was on the left, his biological mother was on the right, and the rest of the royal family were seated according to their rank.

Mingjue's harem is pitifully small, only the two sisters Qinghe and Wuxia have status and can attend.The two sisters who used to be equal in the past, now, under Ming Jue's deliberate actions, they have finally separated into superiority and inferiority.

With the emperor's favor, status and power, Wuxia became more and more beautiful like a favored flower.And Qing He was originally elegant, but now that she is not favored, she is looked at coldly by others, as if she is about to wither.Even at the New Year's feast, the clothes are a bit plain, and they don't look very good.

Among Ming Jue's brothers with the same father, only Ming Lang remained in the capital, besides him, several princes of Emperor Rui were also there.After Ming Jue succeeded to the throne, he sent out all the adult princes, and now the only sons of Emperor Rui are the 13th prince who is [-] years old and the [-]th prince who is [-] years old.

Although there are not many princes and princes, there are many princesses.Emperor Ying had three princesses, and Emperor Rui had two, but princesses were always not valued in the palace, so I didn't describe them much.

There are many clan relatives, but Ming Jue doesn't recognize most of them, so he can only rely on the Empress Dowager Zhou to remind him.

"Concubine Xi's red dress today is fine. I remember I sent some Suzhou embroidery a few days ago, so I'll give you a few!" Ming Jue said as he swept across the concubine's seat.

Wu Xia left the table to express her thanks, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and she couldn't hide her complacency.There are only her sisters in Mingjue's harem, and Mingjue only likes her, what a beauty this is!Maybe he will be able to compete for the back position in the future.

Seeing that her younger sister got a reward, but she couldn't even get a greeting, Qing He's expression became more and more gloomy, and she just lowered her head and drank the cold wine.

"Brother Huang, you are too partial. There are two sister-in-laws at the banquet today, why do you only reward one?" Ming Lang asked without restraint.He had met Qing He a few times at the Jinghe Palace of Empress Dowager Zhou, and felt that she had a gentle temperament, so he couldn't help but speak for her at this moment.

"Sixth brother thinks highly of them, but concubines and beauties, how can you afford to call them emperor's wife. You can call them after I am established." Ming Jue said casually, but the atmosphere suddenly became cold.What he said made Wu Xia and Qing He feel a little uncomfortable, and Ming Lang sat back in his seat embarrassingly.

"Your Highness, you really shouldn't be talking." Gu Xueting, who was by Ming Lang's side, reprimanded in a low voice.

Ming Lang rubbed his nose, he has always acted faster than his brain, he said it straight when he thought about it, without thinking about the consequences at all.

"Xue Ting, is Gu wrong? Gu just wanted to make a joke with Brother Huang." Ming Lang rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

"The majesty of the emperor's son of heaven cannot be offended by ordinary people, even if you are the emperor's younger brother. You have to think carefully about what your highness wants to say in the future." Gu Xueting persuaded in a tortuous way.But in fact, what he thinks in his heart is that Ming Jue is cold-blooded, ruthless, moody, and will turn his face if he doesn't agree with him. How dare His Highness be simple-minded and fight with him?

"Then I'll ask you first if I want to say anything in the future, so that I won't say the wrong thing." After Ming Lang finished speaking foolishly, he muttered to himself: "If only I were half as smart as Xue Ting. Now, this way you won't always make others unhappy.

"Your Majesty, why are you saying such disappointing things?" Seeing that her beloved youngest son had been wronged, the Queen Mother Zhou couldn't help blaming Ming Jue.

The Empress Dowager looked on coldly from the side, and felt that the Empress Dowager Zhou was too partial and only had women's views, which was really unbearable.

After hearing this, Ming Jue said, "Yes." But his complexion was still not bright, just like the ice balls in the capital in this winter and March, cold and stiff, making people fearful.

Ming Jue is not as moody and unpredictable as other people seem to be.It's just that he has nowhere to say, nowhere to appeal.He himself was drinking and drinking in this feast full of people, but his beloved didn't know how to miss him coldly and how to make him feel better.

Ming Jue's thinking is not bad, Lu Hengxiu is alone in the meditation room of Fayun Temple, facing a bed of scrolls, isn't it deserted?

Ying Shisan had his friends, and Lu Hengxiu couldn't bear to hold him back. The day before New Year's Eve, he was released and asked him to drink with his brothers who had no family like him.

It snowed heavily in the evening, and Lu Hengxiu was afraid of the cold, so he went back to his meditation room after the fast meal.Listening to the monks doing evening classes, I lit the lamp and read a book.

After reading it for a long time, I couldn't read a single word. The petite script in the book seemed to come alive, and the eyes were moving around, which made people feel disturbed.

Lu Hengxiu wanted to put down the book, but he heard someone knocking on his door outside.

"With such heavy snow and such a day, who would come?" Lu Hengxiu wondered.

"Mr. Lu, please forgive me for disturbing you late at night. The old man saw that Mr. Fang Jiang had a light on, so he came over to take a look."

It turned out to be the abbot of Fayun Temple.This abbot doesn't know his age, his beard and hair are completely white, but his complexion is ruddy and his voice is like a bell.Therefore, although Lu Hengxiu only met him once, he was very impressed.

"It's the abbot, please come in quickly." Lu Hengxiu opened the door, and the oncoming wind and snow made him shiver involuntarily.

"Excuse me." The abbot clasped his hands together after entering, and bowed slightly to practice Taoism to Lu Heng.

"The abbot is being polite." Lu Hengxiu invited the abbot to take a seat and poured another cup of tea.

"I've been hosting Fayun Temple for decades, but I haven't seen a scholar like Young Master. I didn't even go back to reunite with my family on New Year's Eve, which shows that I have worked very hard."

"The abbot praised me absurdly. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't leave because there was no one at home." Lu Hengxiu said frankly.

The abbot didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words, and changed the subject: "What about the family around you?"

"I couldn't bear to let him be restrained here, so I let him go and come back after New Year's Eve."

"Young master is a Bodhisattva with a heart, and he will definitely pass high school next year." The abbot blessed him, and then he was about to leave.

"According to the good words of the abbot, let Lu send the abbot off!" Lu Hengxiu said and sent the abbot out of the door.When the abbot's figure in cassock disappeared from sight, Lu Hengxiu turned around and wanted to go back.Just as he was about to turn around, he saw a gorgeous firework exploding in the sky in the distance.

The fireworks were in the direction of the palace, so Lu Hengxiu stopped and stood there watching.That huge firework is like a prelude, leading to tens of thousands of fireworks after it takes off.

The distance was too far, and Lu Hengxiu couldn't hear the sound of fireworks rising into the air and exploding, nor could he hear the laughter of the concubines, concubines, and royal relatives in the palace.But he can see the grand fireworks, in this family reunion, everyone is happy, this is the only intersection between him and Ming Jue!

Thinking of landing in this way, Lu Hengxiu stood in the snow for a while, and he didn't remember to turn back until there were no more fireworks in the sky.

After returning to the meditation room, Lu Hengxiu found that his head and shoulders were covered with snow, and his hands and feet were also frozen.As soon as I entered this warm room, I still felt a little tingling.

Lu Hengxiu smiled wryly and shook his head, rubbing his unconscious hands.I thought to myself: It’s really asking for trouble, but it’s just a firework, and it’s worth being frozen if you don’t stand beside him to watch it.

Lu Hengxiu blew out the lamp by himself, climbed onto the bed in the dark, covered himself with two brocade quilts, and prayed that he would not catch the cold from it.

Lu Hengxiu woke up once in the middle of the night, coughed for half an hour before calming down, and fell into a deep sleep.
