Chapter 35: Getting Old
At night, the hour has passed, and there are more people in the study. No, two figures, to be exact.
"Every time I see the two of you appear, I think that this Suzaku should have chosen someone who practices martial arts." , Emperor Longqing did not raise his head, and continued to review the folds.
Emperor Longqing has been reigning for twenty years this year, and unlike his father, Emperor Longqing is an extremely self-controlled emperor.
In the past 20 years, he has been learning the lesson of his father's depression, forcing himself not to be nostalgic for women. Therefore, he is also the emperor who has the fewest children and the fewest concubines in the history of Yongchang.
Suzaku coughed, "The master thinks his subordinates are old?" However, in recent years, my subordinates have indeed felt old, and I think that one day, I will find another intimate person for my master......"
Emperor Longqing put down his pen, his face was not happy or angry, "You have long known that I will not shy away from the prince and give you full authority to him." As for the secret guards in the future, I think the prince will deal with it. Speaking of the secret guard, Emperor Longqing couldn't help but think of a stubborn figure in his heart, his eyes flashed, and he soon returned to calm.
The person who came with Suzaku was Xuanwu, and the two of them had followed Emperor Longqing since they were teenagers, so they naturally knew a lot of secrets about Emperor Longqing. People like them, who know so many things and do so many things for Emperor Longqing behind their backs, don't know if it is the time of death when the new emperor ascends the throne. Emperor Kolongqing seems to have known about this scene for a long time, but he made the crown prince into it early and became their captain. So over the years, what they have privately supported is actually the current prince.
In addition to hiding this matter from the prince himself, there is also Zhou Chenyu, who was once one of the four secret guards. The rest are clear. Zhou Chenyu is the prince's person. At that time, not a single qiē was put on the surface, and it was bad for the two to know it. So everyone tacitly hid it until they believed in the king......
"Master. This is recent news. Suzaku did not forget the purpose of his own visit, and sat in the position of Xuanwu, and most of the cultivation were dead soldiers, both men and women, infiltrating all over Yongchang. Countless news came to him every day, even if an official added a concubine. It is also clear who the concubine's surname is.
Emperor Longqing's gaze only made a circle on the salt road, and it returned to normal. "Aiqing, I heard that the second young master in your mansion is extremely fond of sightseeing, and you said that if I let the two of them go out for a cruise. Luckily? ”
Suzaku looked up. He knew exactly what Emperor Longqing called him, and tore off the mask on his face, revealing a slightly puzzled and pale face, "Holy Lord, ...... you are"
"I've been punished! Huai River, is a good place! Emperor Longqing closed his eyes and stopped talking. Suzaku was about to say something more, but was stopped by Xuanwu on the side.
Suzaku puts on a mask from the new. But it is difficult to forget, Fang Cai's face is the faithful Bo Zhou Renyi.
Who would have thought that the loyal uncle who teased the birds to drink tea and hang out with his friends all day long on weekdays was actually the secret guard Suzaku beside Emperor Longqing?
When Zhou Chenyu first knew that Zhou Renyi was Suzaku, he understood why Emperor Longqing had obviously allocated two small servants to himself, but he never saw Fu'an. It turned out that Fu'an was secretly sent into the Zhongxin Mansion by Emperor Longqing, obviously as Zhou Chenyu's servant, and secretly to protect Zhou Renyi.
After the two left, Emperor Longqing actually showed a look of confusion, but after a while, he looked at the dragon chair under him, and finally his face slowly became firm.
"Now that you've left your mind, would you like to help me for the last time? Just think of it as ...... But can it really be stopped? Emperor Longqing seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be whispering to others. But after all, I am afraid that only Emperor Longqing himself knows.
Day 2
Zhou Chenyu returned to the courtyard refreshed, first raised Brother Yao, and said with a smile, "Little ghost, I can finally be separated from you for a while!" ”
Brother Yao looked at Zhou Chenyu with wide eyes, although he knew that his father liked to talk to him like this, he still screamed twice uncomfortably after all. Seeing that Zhou Chenyu didn't mean to let go at all, his mouth flattened and he cried.
"What's wrong with you? As soon as he returns, he will provoke him. Your son, if you toss him like this a few times, he will get even worse in the future. Ke Xiyuan had just finished practicing calligraphy, and when she heard Zhuyu say that Zhou Chenyu was back, she cleaned her hands and went back to the back room.
Ke Xiyuan rubbed the corners of her sour forehead, plus Zhou Chenyu and his son, there are already four living treasures in this courtyard, it is really a headache.
Zhuyu glanced at Ke Xiyuan, couldn't help laughing, and pulled her sister back. Seeing this, Xu also took Brother Yao's good coax and retreated.
"Say, what's so happy? As soon as I came back, I went crazy. As the two got married for a few days and had an heir, they got along more and more casually.
Zhou Chenyu has always been thick-skinned, so he went to Ke Xiyuan's side, smelled the faint fragrance of ink on her body, and calmed down.
"It's a good thing, you'll be happy. The Holy Lord ordered me to go to the Huai River to check the river, and not long ago I came to the fold, saying that the embankment of the Huai River was broken, and the silver household was set aside, and the Holy Lord ordered me to go to supervise the work. After speaking, he winked at Ke Xiyuan.
Ke Xiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then thought, this seems to be the first separation after marriage, and quickly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, his voice was quite steady, and he remained as cold as ever, "When to go?" ”
"Half a month later!" , Zhou Chenyu picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water, but his back to Ke Xiyuan was dark. Brightly to see the river, but secretly it is ...... Whether it's overt or secret, it's not a good job! However, after completing this errand, Emperor Longqing allowed him to resign. He knew that he didn't have the bargaining chips to be able to grind with Emperor Longqing, so he could only respond.
Ke Xiyuan thought that it was only the end of the first month, and half a month would be over...... There was no reason for melancholy in his heart, but he said in his mouth, "What do you want the concubine to prepare as the second master?" ”
Talking between husband and wife on weekdays, where did you see Ke Xiyuan like this? Zhou Chenyu was in a good mood for a while, knowing that she was reluctant to give up, so he took her into his arms, "However, on this bright side, the saint asked me to accompany my newlywed wife to Yunyin Temple by the Huai River." said that the host over there appreciated you very much and wanted to meet Master Chen's disciples. This is what the Holy One said this morning. ”
In other words, can you go with Zhou Chenyu? Ke Xiyuan, who was suspicious by nature, quickly calmed down. No, Emperor Longqing has never done things as they seem on the surface.
This time I went to the Huai River, there must be something. It's like now, on the surface, let them go to Yunyin Temple, but secretly ask Zhou Chenyu to check the river embankment. However, Ke Xiyuan faintly felt that there was something else that Zhou Chenyu was hiding from him.
Looking at the man who still looked cynical, Ke Xiyuan endured his temper and asked with a smile, "What about Brother Yao?" (To be continued......)
