The morning and evening of early spring are still very cool, that is, in the afternoon, if the sun is enough, the palace can be a little warm without relying on the hearth.

The Qiande Palace is silent, the back hall is the emperor's study, and it is also the place where he deals with court affairs. The only one who can come and go at will, eighty percent is only the queen mother.

It's just that the queen is indifferent and doesn't like to be lively, so she won't come to the front hall easily. Every day, they only came to the Qiande Palace to take a look at the emperor during the afternoon nap, and brought a few seasonal snacks, which was the perennial habit of their husband and wife.

When the unexpected Lou Xuanning and Lou Nuanjin stepped into the palace gate, they didn't see their father and mother, and there was a person standing empty in the huge palace, the crimson brocade dress was embroidered with crane patterns, the neckline and cuffs were embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and a pair of ink-colored boots were clean and not stained with half a trace of dust.

The man was standing in front of the pane, not knowing what to think, when he heard someone enter the main hall and looked sideways slightly.

His complexion was very white, and his phoenix eyes were narrow and long, flowing like a clear spring, clear without a trace of impurities. The corners of the lips are slightly curved, with the most shallow curvature, like a smile but not a smile. Seeing him, it always reminds people of the spring breeze in June, gently brushing through the heart, warm and silent, meticulous and speechless.

There was the ticking sound of a Western clock in the Qiande Palace, and the man smiled slightly, straightened his body and knelt down on one knee. He lowered his head, his eyebrows were gentle, and his voice was even quieter, without a trace of flaws, thinking that it should be as thorough as the rumored ice spring on the Tianshan Mountain: "The slave Cen Run has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, and the master is blessed for a thousand years." ”

The sunlight was scattered, scattered among the three people through the mottled panes, reflecting their shadows, and they returned to the days of day and night together on the Splendid Mountain.

Lou Xuanning didn't call out, Cen Run kept bowing like this, his expression was gentle, not necessarily how humble he was, but he didn't have too much emotion.

"How can we still be separated? When did you say I needed you to make such a big gift? Lou Xuanning hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand, the latter was slightly stunned, avoided Lou Xuanning's outstretched hand without a trace, and got up respectfully.

He stood straight, bowed his head slightly, there are rules in the palace, unless the master calls to see, the slave can not look directly into the master's eyes, and if he commits a taboo, he will be rewarded with twenty boards if he pulls it out.

Cen Run smiled, it was not an exaggeration, it was just a small arc, but it was very pleasing to the eye: "Your Highness is the master, and the slave does not dare to overstep it." ”

"You ......" Lou Xuanning has no choice, he has been in the palace for ten years, Cen Run has always been like this, not far from them, he knows that he is cautious, the emperor has been by his side for a long time, and he has become more and more leaky, "I know what you are afraid of, I don't prevent you from obeying the rules when someone is there, but right now there are just three of us here, are we still like when we were in Jinxiu Mountain?" There are so many rules, I don't have to call our feelings gone. ”

Lou Xuanning said sincerely, Rao is Cen Run was also a little moved, he raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at Lou Xuanning quickly, so fast that people didn't have time to catch it, but it was only a moment, and then it returned to its original appearance: "His Royal Highness the Prince's love is the blessing of the slave, and the slave must serve the master with all his heart." ”

"You-"

"Brother Cen!" Nuan Jin really couldn't stand the greasy back and forth between the two of them here, she grabbed Cen Run's sleeve, and was so startled that he subconsciously raised his head, and saw a trace of narrowness in her beautiful eyes, only to realize that he was being teased by her again.

He reacted quickly, and didn't dare to shake off the princess, so he could only gently pull out his sleeves: "What does the princess command?" ”

"Come to my palace in the evening."

Cen Run was stunned, and Nuan Jin couldn't help but feel funny: "Why are you looking at me like this?" Mrs. Rong punished me for copying books, Lou Xuanning has a big shelf, I don't want to move him, you have to help me, otherwise Ming'er can't finish writing, and Taifu will ban my feet. ”

"Are you embarrassed? Seeing the heavens having fun everywhere, blame Dao Rong Taifu for punishing you? I see that the punishment is light, if it were me, I would give you the opportunity to copy the book? Directly ban your feet and copy books for a lifetime! Lou Xuanning glanced at Nuan Jin, and grabbed it without waiting for Cen Run to reply.

Lou Xuanning and Nuan Jin are a pair of natural happy enemies, although the brother and sister are close, it does not prevent them from fighting with each other.

"You're a tyrant! I went back to my father to complain and asked him if he was a hot man when he was crowned prince! ”

The two of them spoke vigorously, and Cen Runfeng, who was here, hurriedly interjected with a smile in his eyes: "Don't worry, two masters, just go to the slave." ”

When Nuan Jin heard this, he immediately came to his senses, pounced on him, and hugged Cen Run: "I know that Brother Cen is good, and he is much more reliable than his own brother." ”

Cen Run blushed slightly, and gently pushed away Nuan Jin: "The two masters are here to find the emperor?" ”

Lou Xuanning remembered the matter at this time, looked around the palace and asked, "Where is my father?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor and the queen went for a walk in the imperial garden after lunch, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in half an hour."

"That's it." Lou Xuanning shook his head indifferently, "When I look back, I can say it for us after seeing my father and queen mother, it's a little hot in the day, and it's okay to walk outside." I don't know what year it is, but the spring of death is so hot that it is about to catch up with the Beiyao Kingdom. ”

Cen Run lowered his head slightly, smiling silently, there was always a faint smile on his lips, which made Nuan Jin look a little familiar, yes! Cen Run is a little similar to her good wife, all of them look like they don't eat the fireworks of the world, I heard that in private, this is also appreciated by Mrs. Rong, and he worships his old man as a teacher, strictly speaking, she and he are also the same brother and sister, but unfortunately they can't be studied in detail, otherwise the fate is so much worse than the two......

was also the son of a rich family, and his unspeakably expensive life, but unfortunately he had to be mixed up in this palace fight, not only did he end up ruined, but he also perished with the descendants of their Cen family.

Cen Run is no better than the two noble masters, he has work to do, and the position of the chief manager is not just a title. The person he serves is not the side, that is the emperor, a little bit worse, no matter what you have in the past, you will still be beaten and punished, if you make a big disaster, the head on your neck may not be secure.

There are countless people who have died in his hands, and the reasons in it are also mixed, some of them are eye-catching with the harem concubines, some are full of private pockets, and some of them are just breaking a cup and plate, and when they catch up with the master, they are in a bad mood, and it is normal to pull them out and cut them.

This is the fate of the minion, the body and life belong to the master, and he is also one of them, and he must be doubly careful at all times.

Cen Run was busy all afternoon, his identity was different from the past, the emperor who lived in the imperial city earlier had two chief eunuchs, one was in charge of the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation, mainly walking in the emperor's bedroom, and a palm print, in charge of the imperial study and early dynasty affairs.

This generation of emperors is troublesome, and he has to do everything alone, from the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation, down to his temperament, he has to be clear, in other words, he has to be a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, and he only needs to understand his old man's mind with just one look.

Today is not peaceful, he just sent away the prince and princess on the front foot, and the emperor returned to the Qiande Palace alone. His old man's face was not good, so that none of the subordinates in the entire palace dared to pant loudly.

At this time, Cen Run couldn't avoid it like those minions, but he had to face the difficulties: "Long live the lord is back, just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Yan came to greet you, and after waiting for a while, I heard that you and the queen mother went for a walk in the imperial garden, so I went back first." ”

When the emperor heard the words of the queen mother, his face changed again, and he said a gloomy 'um', and then there was no movement.

Cen Run cautiously lifted his eyebrows, and instantly caught the gloom that flashed in the emperor's phoenix eyes. This emperor is good, but he is a little too childlike, he loves the queen, which is a good thing, but the two of them have to quarrel for some trivial things about sesame mung beans for three days, and a bunch of slaves worry about them every day.

Throughout the afternoon, the emperor didn't smile at all, first he finished the music that had been accumulated in recent days, and then he recruited the minister of military aircraft, and asked about the price of grain and rice from the frequent foreign troubles on the border, and even asked about the collapse of a wall in Tianci City a few days ago.

The ministers couldn't figure it out, seeing that the emperor was in a bad temper today, as if he was trying to find fault, he was afraid of angering his old man, so he made a target for nothing.

I thought that it would be good to wait until the emperor was tired of asking, but I didn't know that he was an old man, and it wasn't until the moon that Liu Xiao put the sweaty courtiers back.

At this time, he was in a good mood, maybe he was done venting, and his eyebrows and eyes were significantly relaxed. The emperor paced on the palace road with his hands behind his back, and the bright yellow dragon pattern was embroidered on his brocade robe, lined with moonlight, as if he was about to jump out.

Cen Run followed him, his head bowed, quiet as if he didn't exist.

"What are Xuan Ning and Nuan Jin doing?" The emperor's voice suddenly rang out, and he didn't have a clue, as if he had suddenly remembered.

Cen Run bowed slightly: "Back to Long Live Lord, the two little masters are here to return to you for your homework." ”

"Schoolwork?" The emperor snorted coldly, unable to hear the joy and anger, "With him teaching, what else is there to worry about, he is very energetic in this regard, and I will worry about it!" ”

The emperor is so jealous that he can't pick out the second one in the imperial city, such a big person, because the queen is always competing with Mrs. Rong. Cen Run wanted to laugh and be careful at the same time, he didn't have the right to speak at this time, and it was his blessing to listen to the emperor complain.

The mood of the emperor became gloomy again, but he walked around the imperial garden several times before he was willing to return to the palace. finally waited for his old man to go to bed, and Cen Run's burden for the day was half relieved.

In the ten years since entering the palace, it seems that he has never slept well, and he is always worried, for fear that the emperor will wake up in the middle of the night and not find himself and be furious, and he must always be vigilant.

"Steward, the word came from Qiwu Palace, saying that Princess Yan asked if you were still going?"

As soon as Cen Run closed the door of the temple with his hand, a little eunuch walked up, his voice was very soft, he was young, with a natural humility, even if he was a slave, he didn't dare to speak loudly in front of him.

He nodded, as if he was very satisfied with the little eunuch's cautious attitude, and looked back at the moonlight hanging on the eaves, clear and cold, and his trance seemed to be back on the Splendid Mountain, which was his best ten years, although he had never thought about it that way at that time, but compared with now, there was no happier than that time.

"Go back to the princess, I'll go."

"Yes!"
