An old man fell asleep

Bengong and Zhao Gou talked a lot intermittently, ate a lot of wine, and talked about many people and things. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info has been in the East Palace for more than two months, and tonight is the most enjoyable night in the main palace. But Hongu vaguely felt that such a night would probably not happen again in the future.

Although plum wine is sweet and light, drinking too much can also get drunk. Zhao was greedy for a cup and soon fell unconscious. Hongu instructed the palace people to wipe him and change his clothes, and use a hot, damp cloth to absorb the remaining smoky smell from his hair.

After Zhao Gou was drunk, he was very well-behaved, at the mercy of others, and did not say a word. The palace people untied his hair bun and busily served. Hongu sat beside him, watching his long hair fall and spread out all over the bed.

After returning to the dormitory, after a simple bath, let the maid dry the hair of the main palace, and the main palace is half-lying and closes her eyes to recuperate.

It's already ugly, go to sleep at this time, can't wake up for a while and a half, and it's not long before the early dynasty, so just wait for the morning to go to bed again. Today, Zhao Gou happened to be not on duty, so he went to sleep. He has a distracted mind, and it is better to get drunk.

The spirit of wine remains, but the main palace is very clear. Many people flashed in his mind like watching a lantern, and the voices and smiles were clearly recognizable, but Hongu was powerless to remember who they were. For most of the past six months, those who should have gone have gone, and those who shouldn't have gone have followed. In the past, most of the nobles in Chang'an became ghosts under the spring.

Singing in his head, all kinds of characters appeared on the stage, and they all ended up in a hurry, and they were making a little headache in the palace, when they suddenly heard a cold and clear voice saying: "Gu Huaizhang, if you become a prince, you may not be able to become an emperor." You must be careful to show your edge, and you will not die well. ”

The palace immediately opened its eyes and glared, and the palace people serving beside him knelt on the ground in fright.

Prince Shen.

Prince Shen!

"Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince," the maid who was bathing and massaging the hair of the palace trembled and said: "But the slave and maid are too strong? Please forgive Your Highness! The slave and maid have no intention of offending Your Highness, please forgive Your Highness!"

Hongu shook his head, exhausted for no reason.

"It's not you. Bengong said: "Is Hongu's hair dry?"

"Back to Your Highness, it's already done. ”

"Go down. ”

"Wow. ”

Only then did the palace people stand up tremblingly, and quietly withdrew from the dormitory.

Prince Shen.

What are you doing tonight?

In the past, didn't you always wear your robe with your back to the palace, and you refused to look back no matter what the palace called you in your dreams.

Why are you willing to talk tonight?

Hongu lay on the empty bed and laughed contemptuously.

People die as ghosts, and their souls are shallow and light. What else can you do?

The Zhao family now only has Zhang Pinghou left, and the Liu, Chen, Helan, and Sima clans were greatly rectified by their father. Look, it's been less than five months since you died, how many forces are left in your East Palace in the past?

This palace is no longer the little county king you threw in the ice lake a few years ago and didn't dare to climb ashore.

You can't scare Hongu.

Why don't you speak?

Aren't you known as "the virtue of a sage and the eloquence of a jewel"?

Speak!

Bengong looked at the room full of lights and shadows, stared at the eyes and waited for a long time, but Prince Shen's voice still did not appear again.

The palace bell was heard ringing in the distance, and the east began to turn white.

The night is heavy and not long.

Day and night alternate, just like you and me, one sleeps in the yellow spring, and the other rises like the sun.

The hour of this palace has just begun, Prince Shen, if you have a spirit, you have to look carefully.

Chapter 9: The Bird Flies High

Tanabata.

After lunch, the main palace waited for Zhao Gou in the East Palace with nothing to do.

"The Book of Rites" ten times is not much, but in the end it is copied by the palace's sore hands, fortunately, there is a person named Zou Wuji who is good at imitating people's handwriting, and after the palace has copied it three or four times, let him continue to copy it according to the handwriting of the palace, and when the time comes, his and the palace itself are mixed together, and the father should not be able to see it.

It's been a long time since noon, why hasn't Zhao Gou come yet?

The palace ate two teas, half a plate of chestnut cake and some melon and fruit snacks, and sat drowsy in front of the desk.

It's been a long summer. It's July, and it won't get dark sooner.

Zou Wuji sat at the bottom of the palace, copying books diligently, and there was no sound.

Boring.

"Add some tea fruits to the Zou Sheren and add a pot of ice. Hongu commanded.

Zou Wuji took a seat to thank him.

Seeing that he was restrained, Bengong said, "Quickly excuse me." Originally, I wanted you to copy the book more comfortably, but now you have to bow down and bow down to work. ”

Zou Wuji said: "Weichen is afraid. ”

Bengong laughed, these scholars are always kinder and cuter than the nobles. "Okay, Bengu won't toss you anymore," Bengong said, "It seems that Bengong is here, and you are also restrained." Then the palace will go around elsewhere, and you can copy books here with peace of mind. You don't have to panic left and right. If you lack anything, ask the palace people for it, you're welcome. ”

Zou Wuji thanked him again.

The palace stepped out of the door of the Hanguang Palace, looked left and right, and was actually a little dazed.

The East Palace is not small, but it is not big, with a total of three halls and one hall, six doors and four institutes. The Chongming Hall at the front is the place of reception, the Hanguang Hall in the middle is the study and living place, and the last Yuanhe Hall is changed into a sleeping hall by the main palace. Prince Shen's bedroom is Honghu Terrace, he likes the scenery from high places, but the palace thinks it is too cold at night.

But now that the sun is right, it should be a good scenery on Honghu Terrace.

"Let's go to Honghu Terrace. "The palace said to the waiter.

Slowly walked to the Honghu Terrace, and it seemed that the waiter had taken the lead to clean up and order. The palace room on the stage was spotless, and the palace took off its shoes and walked in with only socks.

The corridor trees are swaying, and the grass is covered. The trees are lush and green, and some of them actually grow tender green shoots at this time. Others, however, have begun to shed their leaves, and tiny dead branches hang on new branches, occasionally making a slight noise under the disturbance of birds. The scene of summer and autumn under the Honghu Stage.

Looks like no one has been here for a long time.

The main palace sat on the platform, and the breeze soaked the curtain with the fragrance of grass and trees.

Birdsong came from far and near, but the pavilion became deeper and quieter. In the entire Honghu Terrace, it seems that there is only one person left in the main palace, but there seems to be another person, quietly watching this abandoned pavilion with the main palace.

Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me and said, "Huaizhang." ”

Bengong was startled, and when he heard that it was Zhao Gou, his thunderous heartbeat gradually eased.

"If I die one day," the head of the palace did not reply, "I will be scared to death by you." ”

Zhao Gou smiled, took a few steps forward and sat beside the palace: "I see that you are sitting here alone, and you haven't moved for a long time, so let's try to see if you are asleep." ”

"Zhao Gou," Bengong said calmly, "When the Taizu of this dynasty started, there was a story, I don't know if you have heard it?"

"Huh, what's the story?"

"In the first battle of Nanyang, Taizu personally commanded the army. After a few days of fierce fighting, Taizu did not sleep for several days. Finally, reinforcements arrived and defeated the enemy. Taizu's heart relaxed, and he slept for three days in a row before waking up. In the past three days, no one dared to approach the sleeping Taizu to wake him up. Do you know why?"

Zhao Gou said: "Your family is really suspicious and sick. What other reasons could there be? No one tried it, but it was because they were too busy with the matter of recruiting and dispatching the Nanyang garrison at that time. The fierce battle is received, and your ancestor sleeps when he sleeps, so naturally no one will quarrel with him. In other words, your ancestor is notoriously suspicious, and if anyone approaches him while he is asleep, I think this person will be killed by your ancestor as an assassin. ”

"No," Bengong shook his head, "who can be conscious while sleeping?" Taizu had already woken up. Do you think, no matter how tired a normal person is, how can he sleep for three days? Taizu woke up the next day, but found that he couldn't help but pretend to be asleep. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Gou became interested, "Could it be that Taizu had already discovered that the belated Han Shuli had rebelled at that time? Pretending to sleep was to arrange it secretly? No wonder in the later battle of Hanshui, the Zhou army was so well deployed, I just said, I didn't know in advance that there were traitors, where could Han Shuli's defection be prevented?"

"You read history books very carefully. But again, wrong. Bengong looked at Zhao Gou and said seriously, "Taizu woke up and found that he had slept too deeply due to extreme exhaustion, and he was **. It's not easy for people to know, so I pretended to be asleep and lay on the bed to dry my urine before getting out of bed. ”

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He laughed and coughed, "Then you just sat here for a long time without moving, also to dry your urine stains?"

Hongu said: "No, I'm sitting here to bring you over." ”

"You didn't say you were taken aback by me, how did you know I was coming?"

"I just walked in here and was wearing only socks. ”

Zhao Gou was silent for a while, and said, "You are only wearing socks? I see that you are not dressed all over your body? ”

Hongu ignored him and continued, "I only wore socks, but the socks were not dirty. It was only a tea time for me to walk here from Hanguang Hall, and the waiter didn't have time to clean such a large place. ”

Bengong turned around and looked at Zhao Gou's eyes: "It's you who pretended to be asleep and dried the urine stains." You've been staying here, haven't you? You waited a long time to show up so I wouldn't find out, didn't you?"

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled again: "I'm here, what's wrong? Anyway, you don't need to be here, just put something for me, and touch it to sleep when you're lazy." Why are you reluctant to give up this Honghu platform?"

"Do you want to stay here, tell me what are you doing to hide from me?" Hongu said, "Or do you think you'll be angry when I find out what you're doing here?"

"What can I do here," Zhao Gou said aggrievedly, "It's just a matter of taking a nap when I'm free on duty." If you don't sleep in your deserted Honghu platform, do you want me to sleep in the Chongyuan Palace, where your father is in charge?"

Bengong stared at Zhao Gou for a while, and said, "You just have a hard mouth, and I don't care what you are doing here." I'll ask you, can't we go out on Qixi Festival? Do you have time to hide on this stage, do you have time to come and pick me up early?"

Zhao Gou became more and more aggrieved, and said: "I am wronged, I can't tell clearly." Prince, you were grounded by your father, do you remember? I can't finish copying the Book of Rites, can you follow me out of the palace with great fanfare?

Hongu thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be right. "And what are you going to do?"

"It's easy to do," Zhao said, "I've prepared a set of regular clothes for you, and you can follow me out of Miyagi when the time comes." ”

"That's it?"

"What's going on? It's not a big deal, and I'll be back in one night. And you have your usual dinner in the palace, and go back to the dormitory early, saying that you drank too much a few days ago, and you should go to bed early today. ”

The palace glanced at Zhao Gou and said hesitantly: "Then, how can you tell my female officials?" There are eight female officials in the dormitory of the palace, who take turns to stay in front of the palace on weekdays.

Zhao Gou said expressionlessly: "All of them are tied up, killing people and killing people." ”

Bengong said helplessly: "Don't make trouble, I really don't know what to do." These people are all rewarded by their mothers, and they don't listen to me. ”

Zhao Gou tilted his head to look at me when he heard this, and there was a smile in his eyes that couldn't be hidden: "I don't listen to you?"

"I'm like you idle clouds and wild cranes, my mother cares about me, I can't wait to control every strand of hair. The female official on duty will go to the Chengqian Palace every other day, and she may say something bad about me. ”

Zhao Gou burst out laughing, ignoring the angry eyes of the palace, pounding the mat and laughing for a while before saying: "Gu Huaizhang, hahahaha, Gu Huaizhang, you, you are really the first person in the Great Zhou Imperial Family!" Zhao Gou laughed and fell, "Pity your mother and concubine for a hard time!hahahahaha!"

Bengong didn't say a word, he went up and pinched him, this guy was pinched by Bengong painfully, so he was restrained, but he still smiled: "You have to ask others about your own room, and you are not ashamed!"

Bengong was furious and said, "How can this be called a matter in the room! The lady in charge of the lamp is not a concubine!"

Zhao Gou heard this and couldn't stop laughing. Bengong was annoyed, and he didn't pay attention to him, and Gu Zi sat on the side and got angry. Zhao Gou laughed enough, and finally turned to the palace and said: "If you want me to say, we don't have to say anything, your female officials won't reveal anything more to your mother." Do you believe it or not?"

Hongu looked at him suspiciously. Seeing this, Zhao Gou said: "Tsk, I usually see that you are smart and unambiguous in major matters, but why are you always confused in these things." It's just one or two, four or eight together, it's good if you don't fight, and you can still take care of suing you?" Zhao thought about it, shook his head and sighed, and continued, "Forget it, you don't think I'm talking too much now." You'll understand it in a few years. Yan Bi looked at Bengong with a deep face, as if Bengong was the one with a knotted brain.

Nerve. Hongu thought indignantly.
