Long Xiao wipes Qingfeng

When Xiao Jiu woke up, it was already dark, and Zhong Shuo was observing with the tassel on the head of the bed.

Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "Why did you wake up so early?"

Zhong Shuo said: "I sleep less, and wake up after a while."

Xiao Jiu pulled him up, and the two of them changed their clothes after washing, and went into the yard to soak in the hot spring.

Zhong Shuo had heard before that one should not wear silver ornaments on one's body when bathing in hot springs, so he took off the ring on his hand and placed it carefully on the wooden table by the bank before getting into the water.

He sat side by side with Xiao Jiu in the pool.

The steaming mist of hot water curled upwards, and each other's faces were somewhat blurred.

Zhong Shuo tightened the belt around his waist to ensure that he would not lose his composure, but Xiao Jiu who was next to him untied the belt, took off his wet jacket and threw it by the pool.

Zhong Shuo: "!"

Xiao Jiu said soothingly: "It's really uncomfortable to wear clothes, it's better to be like this."

His skin was delicate and fair, but his muscles were firm, and the grooves in his abdomen were clearly visible. Zhong Shuo was greatly stimulated in an instant.

Xiao Jiu quietly and tentatively reached out to Zhong Shuo's shirt, trying to pretend that he accidentally tore it off.

Zhong Shuo took his hand away expressionlessly, "Your Highness, please respect yourself."

Xiao Jiu said aggrievedly: "Don't Bei Ning feel uncomfortable? Come on, take it off, let me give you a shoulder squeeze?"

Zhong Shuo said: "Your Highness, I don't feel uncomfortable, Your Highness can take off by himself."

Xiao Jiu noticed that his tone was firm, so he had to withdraw his hand, and instead lay on Zhong Shuo's shoulder, pouted: "Beining, there is no one here, can you call me Yuanxian?"

Zhong Shuo felt that it was not good.

Xiao Jiu refused to let go, so he had to agree to call Xian Xian for a few days in Zhuangzi, and Xiao Jiu gave up.

Xiao Jiu was still lying on his shoulders, Zhong Shuo was nervous for a while, and wanted to lift him off, but he couldn't bear the feeling of him lying on his shoulders. After struggling for a while, he said: "Xiang, are you hungry? I'll go Get some melons?"

Xiao Jiu shook his head, sat back to the distance in good time, and said: "I have eaten before going to bed, and I am not hungry at this time. You should sit still and soak for a while, it will be good for your body."

Zhong Shuo said "Hmm" and then fell silent.

Xiao Jiu became more and more uncertain about Zhong Shuo.

Ever since he entered the Zhong residence, Zhong Shuo has treated him very well and left him alone in everything. He said what he said and did what he told him to do. He never made a mistake. Sometimes his words and actions were ambiguous, and sometimes he was upright and serious. Previously guessed that Zhong Shuo's heart was attached to him, but later really couldn't figure out when Zhong Shuo fell in love with him, fearing that he liked Yong Mu instead of Xiao Jiu.

Now I'm afraid that he doesn't like me at all, and only treats him well because of the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers.

Xiao Jiu was full of worries, Zhong Shuo reflected on himself, the two of them spent three days like this, and they each breathed a sigh of relief when they set off for Beijing.

After returning to Zhongfu, the two had different dreams in the same bed, and the time passed painfully and long, as if they were a couple at odds.

Finally, the day came to Linye.

On the first day of October, it is advisable to travel.

Mrs. Yu started to take people to clean up a few days ago, thinking that it would take three years to go there, and the place was bitterly cold, Xiao Jiu definitely couldn't bear it, and Zhong Shuo couldn't say it, so he took everything he could with him, and cleaned up. After that, Xiao Jiu's things were added to fill up twenty carriages.

Zhong Shuo looked at his suitcase stuffed in the corner—this was all his clothes, lonely and pitiful, and looked at Mrs. Yu who was leading Xiao Jiu to order, silently handed over the sword to Songzhu, and went to talk to Zhong Hanjiang say.

Zhong Hanjiang couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Zhong Shuo tidy up, and he looked upright like a pine tree. He said, "My son is nineteen years old. Now that he's gone, the Zhong family will rely on you. Don't worry, your Highness will take care of you in Beijing."

Zhong Shuo clasped his fists and saluted, "Father, don't worry, you must protect yourself when necessary, don't take risks."

Zhong Hanjiang said: "Okay, my father remembers that the situation in Linye is complicated, and His Highness must have made some preparations. You must be careful when you go." He hesitated for a while, and then said: "These days, my father has also seen , you and Your Highness, alas, if you and Your Highness are sincere, as a father, you will not object, but you have to make it clear for yourself, and as a minister, you have to know yourself."

His eyes were full of regret, Zhong Shuo heard this sentence without thinking, and got to the heart of the matter.As a minister, self-knowledge is the best, but Zhong Hanjiang seems to have misunderstood something...

Zhong Shuo said, "Thank you father, my son understands."

"It's good that you understand, go and talk to your mother, she has been sad for a long time."

Zhong Shuo bowed again, which was regarded as a formal farewell to Zhong Hanjiang.

Over there, Xiao Jiu was wiping away tears for Shi Yu, who choked up and said, "Emperor Ji is so precious, wouldn't it be a crime to go to such a place?"

Xiao Jiu said: "Mother, I can take this kind of hardship. I am not so pampered, but mother, you have to pay attention to your body, don't worry anymore, I will take good care of Beining."

Mrs. Yu said: "Bah, that little evil man, who is as strong as a cow, has never been sick a few times since he was a child, and it is outrageous for His Highness to take care of him. Your Highness doesn't need to care about him, it's just his own body. Take care of yourself, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell Shuo Er, Shuo Er loves His Highness, it's just that you don't talk much and don't like to show it, Your Highness, don't be discouraged."

Xiao Jiu suddenly asked her, "Mother, Bei Ning has been quiet since childhood?"

Mrs. Yu finally found someone to talk about her eldest son, "No, he's been like that since he was a child, he likes to say nothing, but he keeps his mind full so that others can't figure it out, and he doesn't know how to do it himself, it's very awkward. , His Highness should be more tolerant, after a long time with him, he will know that Shuo'er is a very good man, he has nothing to say, and he has rules in dealing with others, His Highness has not entrusted the wrong person."

Xiao Jiu was thinking about something, and said with a smile: "Yes, I understand, thank you mother."

Yu Shi also smiled and said: "There is nothing to thank, it's all for your harmony, but," she suddenly looked serious, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry, I will talk about Shuo'er later."

Xiao Jiu hurriedly lowered his head in cooperation, giggling in spite of being shy.

It happened that Zhong Shuo came over, so Xiao Jiu left to check things first, and handed over the rest to Mrs Yu.

As soon as Zhong Shuo saluted, he was hit on the head by Mrs. Yu, he raised his head in confusion, and saw Mrs. Yu's expression hated iron for nothing.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"You still have the guts to ask? Let me ask you, did you neglect Di Ji?"

Zhong Shuo said, "My son never did."

"Then tell me, why hasn't there been any movement from Di Ji's side after they've been married for so long?"

Zhong Shuo: "?!"

Yu said: "You're still pretending! Diji told me! It's not mother talking about you, how can there be any embarrassment between husband and wife? You look so useless, when will mother be able to hold a grandson? I hope you are not as good as you!" Count on Aji!"

Zhong Shuo couldn't believe it: "Did Diji tell her mother?"

"That's right, it's not easy for Di Ji to have a daughter. It's not easy to put down your face and say these things to your mother. You are married to someone as good as Di Ji, and you don't snicker under the covers, but dare to be cold. What are you dissatisfied with?"

Zhong Shuo said numbly, "No, my son is very satisfied with Diji."

Mrs Yu didn't really want to scold him, she could see how Zhong Shuo treated Xiao Jiu, she just wanted to remind him, seeing that he lowered his head, he didn't say any more, only the last sentence, "You still have to deal with the matter of your heirs." Take care."

Zhong Shuo agreed, and asked Mrs. Yu to pay attention to her health, so she solemnly bid farewell to her. He helped Xiao Jiu into the carriage in front of her, and then got on his own horse. With a whip, he went to the palace to bid farewell to Emperor Longde. .

Zhong Shuo was originally a guilty minister who left Beijing, but Xiao Jiu's status as an empress concubine had to bid farewell to the emperor before leaving Beijing.

The Zichen Palace is magnificent day after day, and the most honorable and poorest people in the world live in it.

Xiao Jiu and Zhong Shuo waited outside the hall for a quarter of an hour before they were let in. Xiao Jiu had long since lost his patience, so he saluted casually and said directly, "Father is really old, and passing the decree is so long-winded and laborious."

Emperor Longde had just locked up his favorite daughter, and he felt very uncomfortable. Hearing him speak like this, he lost even the strength to be angry, "Yongmu, your mother gave you this name to hope you will be harmonious and respectful, not to let you Such a contradictory father."

Xiao Jiu sarcastically said: "Father still remembers that it was the queen mother who got the name. It was really not easy. My son was still the father and thought that the surname Shen was the master of the harem."

Emperor Longde seemed like a loving father exhausted physically and mentally, "Yong Mu, do you have to talk to me like this? Your mother is gentle and courteous, and you are not even half like her."

Xiao Jiu laughed and said, "If you don't look like your mother, you're like your father. Doesn't your father know?"

"Yong Mu!"

Xiao Jiu said: "My son is here."

Emperor Longde said: "Forget it, Zhong Shuo, come here."

Just as Zhong Shuo was about to step forward, he was stopped by Xiao Jiu, "The son-in-law is my husband, so it's the same if you have something to say here. Hurry up, the son-in-law and the son-in-law will be on their way."

Emperor Longde fell on his back in anger again, but luckily he was used to it, he took a sip of tea to calm down, and said to Zhong Shuo, "My son-in-law, remember, everything should be done in moderation."

Xiao Jiu's eyes sharpened, and he said directly: "My son-in-law doesn't remember, please spare your majesty and take care of your three thousand in the harem!" His words meant something, and Emperor Longde said sensitively: "You What's the meaning?"

"It's nothing interesting. It must be that the father is getting old and not in good health. Yang Jieyu, who has served the father for more than three years, has a secret relationship with the bodyguard. Does the father know?"

"How did you know?!" Emperor Longde gasped and almost fainted.

Xiao Jiu gloated and said, "It's been more than two years. It's just that the father is busy with government affairs, and the sons and ministers dare not disturb the father's administration, so they hold it in their hearts. Now that they have spoken out, it is very refreshing."

The palace servants trembled in fear for a moment, knowing such a secret, they would definitely lose their lives.

Xiao Jiu said: "Father takes care of his own harem first and then interferes with my son's backyard. My son has resigned."

The two bowed and took their leave, and Emperor Longde's furious cry came from far behind, "Come here! Funinghai!"

After leaving the palace, Xiao Jiu gave Zhong Shuo a sly smile, and pulled him into the carriage. The team moved slowly and headed out of the city.

In the carriage, Zhong Shuo said helplessly, "Your Highness..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about me, I will expose this matter to anger him, so that he doesn't have the heart to do things on the road, but, hahahahahahahaha, Yang Jieyu wore such a big hat for the father. Put on a green hat, hahahahahahaha." Yang Jieyu is a great help to Concubine Shen in the palace, and her mother's family is also considered prominent, if something happens, Concubine Shen will be troubled, how can he not be happy.

Zhong Shuo said: "It's just that His Highness said it directly, will it be detrimental to His Highness?"

Xiao Jiu said indifferently: "If I were a prince, they would have to guard against it. Now that I bear the name of an emperor concubine, at most they would not like me. I have been feuded for many years, so don't worry about it."

Only then did Zhong Shuo feel relieved.

Although Xiao Jiu acts perversely, he still has his own sense of propriety and will not make a big fuss, he believes in him.

In Jingyang Palace, Concubine Shen Gui, who was conserving her baby, took the medicine bowl from Zhai Xing's hand, and Zhai Xing whispered beside her: "Your Majesty, the general has made arrangements."

"Okay." Shen Guifei lowered her eyes, looked at the eyebrows and eyes reflected in the medicine bowl, and stirred up the medicine soup with a spoon.
