One sat in the big wooden barrel and the muscles of his whole body were tense, and the other stood there to rub his back with mixed feelings, both of them were actually very nervous, the emperor who was used to seeing the big scene was panicked when he rubbed the child's back, and Shen Leng was more panicked than him, looking at the past and present, which emperor rubbed the back of his courtiers?

"Shen Leng."

"Your Majesty, what do you command?"

"Nope."

The Emperor paused, not knowing why he was screaming.

Shen Leng is much more nervous than the emperor, rubbing his back is such a thing, just go into a bathhouse, those bath masters will make people want to die, but the emperor rubs the bath, this thing is really unbearable.

"Minister, will you come by yourself?"

The emperor shook his head: "I'll stop when I'm done rubbing your back." ”

Shen Leng rushed all the way back from northern Xinjiang, almost never took a few baths, Daning is vast, people in the south have basically never been exposed to such a thing, although Shen Leng grew up in Anyang County, but most of the time in the north, used to bathing, used to the transparency brought by slight pain.

The emperor looked at the mud scroll on Shen Leng's back and sighed: "This one can be half an inch long." ”

Shen Leng blushed.

The emperor turned around: "Put the boat on your behalf, and then go get a big wooden barrel to change the water." ”

The substitute boat waiting at the door had already been prepared, as the closest chamberlain to the emperor, if he didn't even have this thought, how could he be the eunuch of the imperial study.

After a while, four little eunuchs came in carrying a large wooden barrel, and they were all stunned when they saw that the emperor actually rubbed the back of the general Shen Leng in person, and their eyes were wide open, but no one dared to speak.

After the water was put down, the boat was released and the people withdrew, and as soon as he went out, he ordered: "No one is allowed to talk nonsense, let me know, there are you who are good-looking." ”

The little eunuchs hurriedly bowed their heads: "Got it." ”

The emperor suddenly found that this kind of thing was actually a bit addictive, and there was a very strange sense of accomplishment when he looked at the mud that was rubbed out.

"These scars on your body ......"

The emperor paused when he said this, as if he was thinking about something, and after a moment he continued: "That year, I asked you to take off your shirt in the main hall, and let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military see how many people have scars on your body. That's why I have your Darkiron Armor, and I see that there are not many new injuries on your back, which is good. ”

Shen Leng hurriedly said: "The Xuantie armor is invulnerable, and the minister will not be injured again." ”

"No matter how hard the Black Iron Armor is, it can't block all the injuries."

The emperor exhaled slowly: "You are already a great general, Guogong, there is no need to charge forward in everything on the battlefield in the future." ”

"Remember."

"You don't have to be so nervous."

"The minister can't control it."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty rubs the bath, the minister can't afford it."

"Well, I thought it was a man who gave you a bath, and you weren't used to it."

In order to soothe the awkward atmosphere, the emperor made a joke.

"I don't know where there is a place in Chang'an City where women take a bath, I haven't been there once."

"Xiaohuaihe has, the first one on the left has good craftsmanship, the strength of the bath is enough, but the age is older, if it is just a bath, it is nothing, there are two houses, the bath is general, but the snacks and fruits and the service are not bad......"

"Hmm...... The minister remembered, but did not dare to go. ”

"You forgot, I didn't say it."

The emperor sighed, and said in his heart what is this, how can he talk about this, he went to Xiaohuai River for the first time at the age of fifteen, and went once before leaving Chang'an at the age of sixteen, and then he was sealed to Yunxiao City and never went again, and then returned to Chang'an but became the emperor, he went to be, but he didn't dare to take a bath.

"The minister has forgotten."

Shen Lengxin said that the minister didn't forget it, and he didn't dare to say it.

The emperor thought that it was really embarrassing for the father and son to talk about the topic of Xiaohuai River, why did they talk about it?

So the two of them fell into silence for a short time, neither of them was embarrassed to speak again, the atmosphere was cold, and the water was a little cold.

The emperor wrapped the towel around his hand and looked at Shen Leng's red back: "It is estimated that I can lose two or three pounds." ”

Shen smiled coldly.

"Leng Zi."

"Huh? Minister, minister. ”

"When I go home in the future, I will be closer to your child, you think that the child is still young, but in a blink of an eye, the child will grow up, I just thought, if I am not the emperor, but an ordinary elder, if I want to rub your back, you would have already kicked me out."

Shen Leng was stunned, and after thinking about it, this is indeed the truth, if Mr. Shen said to rub his back when he was taking a bath, he would definitely refuse, it would be embarrassing to think about it, extremely embarrassing, although he regarded Mr. Shen as a father, but he still felt that it was not easy to accept.

"When the child is young, he should bathe the child and rub his back, and when the child is older, he may understand that he should also bathe and rub the back of the elderly."

The Emperor took a deep breath, then shook his head slightly.

"If it is an ordinary father, who is not very close to his children on weekdays, and suddenly wants to rub his child's back one day, the child will also feel embarrassed and uncomfortable...... I don't mean to rub my back, it's ......"

"I understand."

Shen Leng nodded: "Your Majesty understands what you mean, when I was a child, Mr. Shen said that the first twenty years will see the father and the son, and the second twenty years will see the son respect the father." ”

The emperor snorted, thinking about how good it would be if this sentence was said to Shen Leng.

"It's the family that is the easiest to get close to, and it's the family that is the easiest to be estranged."

The emperor wiped his hands, turned around and walked back: "Don't wait until you are old to regret it, a man, if he is full of regrets when he is old, he is too much of a failure, and if he is full of pride, he is very happy." ”

"If all the pride in my memories has nothing to do with my family, no matter how full my life is, it will be ruthless and unjust."

After saying this, the emperor walked out of the side hall, and Shen Leng immediately let out a long breath, just now he was really nervous.

Changed to another large wooden barrel, soaked for a while, then scrubbed it clean, changed into a brand new national official clothes, washed and combed his hair, shaved his beard, and still looked like a young man in his twenties, with a temperament that ordinary people could not have.

As soon as he went out, he saw Dai Fangzhou waiting outside the door, and said to him with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, Your Majesty just instructed that after you wash it, go to the queen's palace and wait for you to cook." ”

Dai Fangzhou said with a smile: "Just now, the queen also came to the Dongnuan Pavilion, I heard that you waited for a while in the bath, and went back first before waiting, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in the cabinet, and he also sent someone to say that Grandpa Guo was waiting for him." ”

Shen Leng snorted, thinking about where he should wait?

Do you want to go back to the East Warm Pavilion? If he went, he was afraid that he would have nothing to say when he saw the emperor, and His Majesty's words touched his heart, and he did not dare to look at His Majesty's eyes.

So after a slight groan, Shen sneered and said, "I'll go to the cabinet and go directly to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Dai Fangzhou nodded hurriedly: "Then the slave maid will go back to Your Majesty." ”

Not long after, in the Dongnuan Pavilion, the emperor heard Dai Fangzhou say that Shen Leng went to the cabinet to find His Royal Highness the Prince, he was slightly disappointed, but after thinking about it, if it was himself, he would not dare to come to the cabinet, he and Shen Leng have such similar personalities. If it was his father who rubbed his back, he might be embarrassed to death, at that time his father treated him badly, although he later tried to improve, but he refused his father's arrangement to let him go back to Chang'an and stayed in Yunxiao City.

Years later, the emperor experienced his father's ambivalence, and although the situation was not the same, the contradictions were the same.

It's not that his father doesn't like him, he just can't like him too much, and what about him? He likes Shen Leng, and he can't like it too much.

"I'll go to the queen first."

The emperor got up: "Just let them go directly for a while." ”

Cabinet.

Shen Leng opened the curtain and came in, and all the adults in the room were stunned, and no one immediately reacted to who this person was, after all, Shen Leng had never entered the cabinet room, and he had indeed left Chang'an for a long time.

"Dear Master!"

When the prince turned his head and saw Shen Leng, he jumped up directly, jumped off the kang, and Lai Cheng, who was next to him, coughed: "Ahem...... Your Highness be careful. ”

Only then did the crown prince Li Changye realize that he should be more reserved in front of the cabinet ministers, so he slowed down and walked towards Shen Leng, but the expression on his face couldn't be controlled, and the corners of his mouth were grinning to the edge of his ears.

"Your Highness!"

Shen Leng bowed.

"Don't salute."

Li Changye went over and held Shen Leng's arm: "I'm already very tired from rushing back all the way, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

At this time, the people in the cabinet also came to greet Shen Leng, Shen Leng returned the salute one by one, the cabinet is a row of rooms outside the Dongnuan Pavilion, the largest one is used to deal with political affairs, and there are two or three small rooms next to it, two of which are used to put various files and copywriting and folds, and the other is a bedroom that can only be owned by the first assistant of the cabinet, and there is not even a second assistant.

Shen Leng, Li Changye, and Lai Cheng chatted in the cabinet room for a while and then went to the next room and let people serve tea, Lai Cheng couldn't help but smile when he looked at Shen Leng: "Why are you getting younger and younger?" When I left Chang'an, I saw that you were a thirty-year-old person, and now I look at twenty-four or five, what is the reason? I've got a ......."

He leaned over to Shen Leng's side: "It is said that the women of Heiwu are white and clean, and they are very tall and slender, and they can also replenish yang, have you done something in Heiwu......"

Shen Leng: "Lord Shoufu, you are more solemn." ”

Lai Cheng laughed: "I haven't seen a few black warrior women, I'm just curious." ”

Shen Leng raised the corner of his eyebrows: "Haven't you seen a few?" That is, I have seen it, as far as I know, in the entire Chang'an City, only there is a black warrior woman on the side of the Xiaohuai River, and there can't be anywhere else, Lord Lai, yes. ”

Lai Cheng smiled wryly: "I heard it, I heard it." ”

Shen Leng said: "The woman of Heiwu did look tall and slender when she was young, but as long as she became a relative, it would not be long before she would become one size bigger, and if she was one size bigger, her waist would be as thick as the three of you." ”

Lai Cheng thought about it, that wouldn't work, and said casually: "Then forget it, you can't push it." ”

"Wow!"

Shen Leng and Li Changye snorted at the same time, and Lai Cheng immediately pretended to cough: "I am in the cabinet every day, pretending to be serious and too tired, I just let it go, let it go, how can I go to Xiaohuai River as a person who picks the door." ”

Li Changye looked at Shen Leng: "Xiao Huaihe is really that good?" ”

Shen Leng hurriedly shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know at all." ”

Li Changye sighed: "Who knows, I want to find someone to ask, just curious......"

Shen Leng opened his mouth to speak, but held back.

Ask your father.

The heart said that it was dangerous, but fortunately it didn't say.
