"I still don't understand what their purpose is in tempting me like this." I lay on the bed and hooked my head to ask Yan Xiaoran, who was sleeping on the soft couch.

Yan Xiaoran rolled over and pretended to be asleep.

I scooped up the pillow on one side and smashed it at him: "I know you didn't sleep, answer me." ”

Yan Xiaoran accurately took the pillow and put it under her head: "You can't use your own brain to think about it, like you, even if you become a real emperor in the future, it will not be long before you will be pulled down." ”

I pursed my lips: "I think I was very good before, but you have to pull me to fight for real power." ”

Yan Xiaoran sighed, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "The so-called temptation is just to see your reaction, I guess Shen Jinzhong will come to test your patience next." ”

I scratched my head, a little puzzled: "What are they trying to test me for?" "It's idle and nothing to do, and it's not like this to pass the time.

"Test your bottom line and see if you have the heart to resist, they tried their best to bring you up, of course they don't want to raise tigers."

Me: "!! How did he see something so deep from a small temptation?

"So these days, you have to be careful in the court."

I panicked, "Is something going to happen?" ”

"I'm going to test you next."

"Ahh......h So what do I do? ”

"Be both obedient and refuge." Yan Xiaoran took a deep breath and said, "You have to obey him now, but you can't listen to him in everything." Let him not see what you are thinking, and at the same time, we have to speed up our pace and unite with Gu Chen. ”

I nodded thoughtfully, and didn't talk to each other anymore.

The next day, in the court, the courtiers who didn't have too many major events were like going through the motions, I held my head, but my eyes were aimed at Bai Qingyan's direction, every morning court, I had a little fun left.

At the end of the day, my uncle suddenly said: "Your Majesty, in three months, it will be the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the other two countries will send envoys at that time." Since his accession to the throne, he has been neglected in his knowledge, and I wonder if His Majesty has regressed? ”

I immediately mentioned God: "What does the Queen's birthday have to do with my knowledge?" ”

"The Queen Mother's birthday coincides with the early winter, and the royal family will be invited to hunt and poetry.

I suddenly realized that I am very good at hunting, but this poem will ...... It's a real headache for me.

"Look at the way His Majesty has not reacted, he must have left the poetry meeting behind, taking advantage of the fact that there are no major events these days, it is better to find another master to guide His Majesty." My uncle knew that I couldn't have a problem hunting, and he was mainly talking about poetry clubs.

It's just that although he is building yì, his tone is very blunt and cannot be refused.

It suddenly occurred to me that Yan Xiaoran said that my uncle would further test me, and all I had to do was to be both obedient and refuge. I weighed it and said, "It's so good, I can't let me lose my Nanling's face, but this teacher ......"

My uncle was about to speak, but I interrupted him: "I see, let Bai Shilang enter the palace to teach me." ”

Bai Qingyan, who was standing among the ministers and heard my name, hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the ministers are shallow in their learning, and they are difficult to take on important responsibilities. ”

I coughed lightly and said, "Bai Shilang is the emperor's master, if you can't take on this heavy responsibility, who else in my Nanling will dare to teach me?" "I think what I said was so impeccable that not only sealed my uncle's mouth, but even Bai Qingyan had nothing to say.

Sure enough, the ministers were all speechless, and my uncle also looked up at me, raised his hand to touch his eight-character beard, shook his head and said: "Since His Majesty has said so, it is very suitable for the ministers to see this white waiter." ”

Bai Qingyan knew that he couldn't refute it anymore, so he could only salute and say, "The minister obeys the order." ”

I returned to the dormitory in a good mood, Yan Xiaoran didn't know where to catch a pigeon, he leaned leisurely in the courtyard, sprinkled a handful of grain on the stone table, and fed the pigeons.

When he saw me coming, he didn't stop his movements: "You are the most leisurely emperor I have ever seen." ”

I was in a good mood and didn't bother with him, so I grabbed the grain and put it in my hand and fed it to the pigeons.

"How's the morning today?"

I nodded proudly, told Yan Xiaoran about my great achievements today, looked at him expectantly, and came to praise me with a look of anticipation. "Do you say that I am very talented, both obedient and refuted, and let Bai Qingyan teach me."

Who knew that Yan Xiaoran frowned: "Confused, just confused." ”

Me: "......"

"Seeing Bai Qingyan and Gu Chen together that day, I knew at a glance that the two of them were in a group, and now you let Bai Qingyan enter the palace to teach you, isn't this a clear statement to Shen Jinzhong, are you going to befriend Gu Chen?" Yan Xiaoran stretched out her hand and poked my head: "Besides, is it necessary to invite any master, I can teach you very well." ”

Why do I always feel that Yan Xiaoran is angry that the master who came to teach me is Bai Qingyan, not me who exposed what we were going to do next. But seeing him so angry, I didn't dare to say anything else, and asked cautiously: "Then what now?" ”

Yan Xiaoran got up and released the pigeon, turned around and said: "Now it can only be like this, yesterday I confirmed one thing, today I want to confirm another thing." You summoned Shen Baojia into the palace in the afternoon, and said in front of Bai Qingyan that you would accept her as a concubine. ”

"Let Bao Jia enter the palace as a concubine?" I quickly shook my head: "Don't." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Yan Xiaoran clasped her hands around her chest: "I won't really let you take a concubine, it's just for Gu Chen to see." Didn't you say before that the relationship between Shen Baojia and Gu Chen is not ordinary, and Shen Baojia cares about Gu Chen, so what about Gu Chen, does he also care about Shen Baojia? ”

"I seem to understand something."

Shen Baojia is the daughter of the Shen family, and she has been pampered by her uncle and cousin since she was a child. I still like this cousin very much, she is like me living in fantasy. Sometimes I wonder if my father would have given me more a look if I had been a girl from the beginning. And I have the favor of my father and mother, will I be like Bao Jia, carefree?

But...... I'm a man now, an emperor.

In the imperial study, I held the book and quietly aimed at Bai Qingyan, feeling my heartbeat going up and down. "Bai Shilang, why have you reached the age of a weak crown, but you have not yet married a wife and had children?"

Bai Qingyan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is a minister's private matter. ”

I put down the book: "I care about the courtiers, why should the white waiter see the outside." ”

Bai Qingyan said humbly and politely: "Your Majesty, you should read a book now." ”

"Since when have we seen each other like this?" I looked at him and smiled wryly.

Bai Qingyan avoided my gaze, and a suspicious flush suddenly appeared on his face.

Bai Qingyan's grandfather was my father's teacher, and since he was a child, he was my brother and I as an attendant, and he went to the palace to attend classes with us in the same school. At that time, I was still very young, and I saw that my father doted on the emperor's brother, and in order to get my father's attention, I deliberately befriended the emperor's brother.

So at that time, we had a pretty good relationship. Even later, I was completely disappointed in my father because I was jealous of my brother, but Bai Qingyan and I were still good friends.

We are brothers and confidants. But since when did our relationship become so distant? It seems like after I got drunk on the night I ascended the throne......

I ascended the throne as the emperor, held a banquet in the palace, and the ministers congratulated. Except for Gu Chen, who was not present at the entire banquet, everyone came.

But I'm not happy, not happy at all, I have the illusion of robbing Gu Chen's throne.

If it weren't for the queen mother who disguised me as a man, then this throne should be Gu Chen's. Neither my father nor the throne ever belonged to me.

I looked at the courtiers who raised their glasses in celebration, and watched everyone gather around my uncle to congratulate me, but I was the emperor. I quietly took the flask and went to the Imperial Garden.

There is no noise, no worries, and the cleanliness here makes me feel comfortable.

"It's really inappropriate for the king of a country to sit here so indecently."

I raised my eyes and looked at Bai Qingyan, dressed in a dusty white dress, walking slowly towards me with the moonlight on his back, with a warm smile on the corner of his lips, like a spring breeze, embellishing the warmth of this cold moonlit night.

"Kiyohiko, why are you here?" I raised my glass to him, and then I dried.

Bai Qingyan waved his robe, sat down beside me regardless of his image, and took the wine glass and wine jug in my hand: "Wine, it's better to drink less." ”

"A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows." I looked at his hazy face in confusion and smirked, "Wine is a good thing." "Everyone is congratulating me on my accession to the throne, but how many people know that I don't really want to be the emperor at all, I am just a puppet of the Shen family.

"Jinyan, you don't have to be like this." Jinyan is my watchword.

"Regarding Concubine Yang Shu, you say sorry to Gu Chen on my behalf, I didn't expect the queen mother to do this." I didn't expect that when I was jealous of Gu Chen, my queen mother was also madly jealous of his mother. "You know, I don't want to be this emperor at all, but everyone is forcing me to be emperor. In the eyes of the queen mother, I am her tool to envelop my father. In my uncle's eyes, I was his tool to master the dynasty. In Gu Chen's eyes, I am the culprit who snatched his country and took the life of his mother. Kiyohiko...... What am I in your eyes? ”

I tried to open my eyes to see him, but they were still very hazy, and I had to lean closer to him. His body was clean and fresh, without a hint of fat powder, and I smirked and pounced on him: "Kiyohiko, I like you...... What am I in your eyes, and do you like me or not? ”

Bai Qingyan stiffened and supported me, I don't know if it was my drunken smell or what's wrong, a blush suddenly appeared on his fair cheeks: "Jinyan, you are drunk." ”

"I'm not drunk, Bai Qingyan, I really like you. When I was neglected by my father, you were by my side. When I was rebuked by my father's staff, you were the one who was punished for me. I'll take you as a concubine, okay......" I swear to God, I should have been really drunk at the time to say such a thing, and in retrospect, I really wanted to slap me twice in the mouth.

I said at the time that if I married him, he would not run away, but now he hides when he sees me, and his attitude is very alienated and cold.
