"I've heard that Lord Qiu likes male style, but is it true?" Xia Zimo asked Qiu Luo Snow Road.

Belch...... I heard about this kind of thing, why are you embarrassed to ask it in person? Your Majesty, don't you feel embarrassed? How do you tell me to answer this kind of thing?

Qiu Luoxue thought about how to answer, and at the same time complained in her heart, when she came to ancient times, she didn't do anything, and she became someone else's after-dinner conversation. Forget about others, now even the emperor has asked, the power of this gossip is really powerful.

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to live in the palace and be so well-informed."

"I've always had a wide range of sources. Besides, there is no shortage of people in the palace to talk about your affairs, so I naturally heard about it. ”

"That's all because I proposed to close the brothel in Beijing, so they talked about it like this, Your Majesty doesn't have to take it to heart."

Xia Zimo shook his head and said, "Definitely." I remember that before you were the prime minister, there were rumors that you liked men, saying that there were many beautiful men hidden in the prime minister's mansion. ”

Nani? Who the hell is spreading these boring things, and the beautiful man, except for some sturdy family members, there are basically no male creatures in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If there are really beautiful men, can I still leave them alone?

"Didn't Your Majesty go to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Whether there is a beautiful man in it, your majesty must know best. ”

Xia Zimo felt that what he said made sense, nodded and said, "That's right." However, judging from the performance of Lord Qiu, it seems that there is indeed a reason for people to be so suspicious. ”

"What's wrong with my performance? It's normal. Qiu Luoxue asked incomprehensibly, obviously it's normal.

"If you get too close to Ziyan, it will inevitably make people suspicious."

"That's King Yan has been pestering me, and I can't help it, so Your Majesty has to take care of him."

"Then why haven't you married yet? Could it be that Ziyan is pestering you and not letting you get married? ”

"That's ......," Qiu Luoxue thought about it, "That's not it, things like getting married have to go with the flow." ”

"And why are you staring at me all the time?"

"Because I like it." Qiu Luoxue replied directly without thinking about it.

This answer was beyond Xia Zimo's expectations, he looked at Qiu Luoxue for a long time, and there was a different emotion in his eyes. Qiu Luoxue was also looking at him, her eyes were black and white, and her bright eyes were not stained with dust, they were very pure. Qiu Luoxue looked at Xia Zimo intently at the moment, she really won't get tired of seeing this face no matter how many times. But what did she think, Xia Zimo's face was now floating with a flush.

Well? Flush...... Ah, what did I just say? Say to the emperor that I like you...... It's over, it's over, the ancients must have never heard such straightforward words, they must have misunderstood.

Thinking of this, Qiu Luoxue hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong, I mean ......"

"I understand."

"Uh, what do you understand?" Qiu Luoxue asked tentatively, always feeling that Xia Zimo might not really understand.

"I understand why Aiqing resigned."

"Huh?" What kind of words about the donkey's head is not the horse's mouth, why did it come to the resignation again.

"It must be painful to stay with me like this."

I don't like it, but I don't feel miserable. But what is his expression now, pathetic? Why do I feel like he's looking at me with pity.

"It's not that serious." Qiu Luoxue replied.

"Alas, it's obviously very painful, but in front of me, I have to pretend that it's okay, and I've worked hard for you." Xia Zimo said solemnly.

Qiu Luoxue was confused by his dialogue mode, and she really didn't understand why his attitude towards herself had turned 180 degrees.

"I can't promise you anything, I can't say anything to you, but I'll do my best to keep you. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. If you meet someone else you like, it doesn't matter if you keep it in the house, I will solve the rumors outside. ”

"Huh? No, Your Majesty, why are you back again, didn't you just say that I'm not good at men. Qiu Luoxue wanted to cry and said without tears.

………………

Qingxin Lake in Xiangfu has a large area of fresh water and beautiful scenery. In the center of the lake, there is a classical Chinese pavilion building, and several individual pavilions are linked together by verandahs to form a whole building. The meandering passage leads from the shore to the center of the lake, and then winds down from the center of the lake, there is a feeling of nine twists and turns, the wooden board road in the corridor pavilion, people will make a "babbling" sound when they walk on it, it is very good.

The weeping willow on the shore stretched its slender waist and hung down to the water, where several willows were connected, and unexpectedly formed a green barrier. Looking at the opposite scene through this green curtain, it is unexpectedly real from time to time.

It is summer, the lotus flowers in the lake bloom just right, the lotus leaves protrude from the water surface, one cluster after another, it is very lush, surrounded by lotus leaves, it is a pink lotus, delicate and gorgeous. The green lotus leaves are dotted with pink lotus flowers, and the color match this Qingxin Lake very well, which amazes the time. There are also some lotus flowers that have not yet bloomed, budding and waiting to be released, like shy girls, covering their delicate faces with their hands.

When the sunset falls on the water, the reflection hangs in the water, sparkling, and when you look in the direction of the backlight, you will mistakenly think that the lotus leaf has turned black, and you can only roughly see the outline, and the lotus, perhaps because it is too gorgeous, can completely see its color and shape even in the case of backlight. In the case that the lotus leaf is turned black by the backlight, there is such a touch of pink embellishment, which is very beautiful.

In the distance, there are several painting boats slowly paraded under the sunset, like a delicate cut painting.

The sound of "pop" was the sound of the cup falling heavily on the table, breaking the tranquility of Qingxin Lake.

"Why do people always say that I still have feelings for you?" The person who spoke was Xia Ziyan, and the "pop" sound just now was made by him.

There was another "snap", Qiu Luoxue also put the wine glass in her hand on the table, and said with an angry light in her eyes: "Why do people always say that I like male style?"

"I can bear to say that you like male style, but I can't bear to say that I like you." Xia Ziyan said.

"Heh, who told you to do those useless things." Qiu Luoxue counted down him.

"No, what did I do uselessly?" Xia Ziyan said unconvinced.

"Whoever made you want to marry me with a dead face, it's normal for people to suspect you."

Xia Ziyan looked at Qiu Luoxue and said with a puzzled expression: "I also want to know why I did those useless things in the first place, alas~ How low my vision was when I was a child."

As soon as he said this, he immediately exchanged Qiu Luoxue's sharp eyes and asked, "Do you want to die?"

Xia Ziyan immediately shook his head, poured a glass of wine for Qiu Luoxue and said, "I didn't mean that you weren't good-looking, just on the facts."

"My face, although it is too feminine among men, if I am a woman, I am definitely a rare beauty, and I am the type of red face and troubled water." Qiu Luoxue said without exaggeration.

"But you're a scourge now, not a red face." Xia Ziyan said very honestly, but in exchange for Qiu Luoxue's eyes.

"Seriously, it doesn't matter what you say, how can you say that about me as a prime minister? It's so unreasonable. Qiu Luoxue said again.

"It doesn't matter what I say?"

"Do you want me to tell you one by one?"

"Even if it's a history of romance, I only have a history of romance with women, especially beautiful women."

Qiu Luoxue said disapprerovingly: "They are all hooligans, and they are all the same for men and women, there is no difference."

"Don't wrong, I'm not interested in men."

"Am I interested in men?"

Huh? No, I'm a woman, and of course I'm interested in men. Alas~ Recently, the gender difference has changed, and I almost forget that I am actually a woman. No, no, remember: Qiu Luoxue, you are a woman, Qiu Luoxue you are a woman, Qiu Luoxue you are a woman. Say important things three times, be sure to remember!

They had been sitting in the pavilion of Qingxin Lake for so long that it was already completely dark, and the lanterns in the pavilion were all lit up. On the roofs of verandahs and pavilions are white oval lanterns with patterns of plants, trees, flowers and birds, which do not look monotonous. On both sides of the verandah, lanterns are hung in the middle of each two pillars, which are lanterns such as marquees, with different colors and patterns. In this way, whenever the lanterns in the verandah are lit up, from a distance, the dark night sky is illuminated by a field of flowers, which is very spectacular.

"Wow, that's beautiful." Qiu Luoxue saw this scene and sighed unconsciously.

Xia Ziyan looked at Qiu Luoxue's expression and said with a smile: "You have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion since you were a child, shouldn't you have been used to seeing this kind of scene for a long time?"

"I'm used to it, but I still think it's beautiful. Different moods have different views. Qiu Luoxue prevaricated and replied that in fact, it was really the first time she had seen the scene here. This kind of spectacular scene, in modern times, can only be seen when you go to the Tang Paradise.

In the evening, Xia Zimo was still in the imperial study to deal with government affairs. On this day, since he saw Qiu Luoxue, he has always been restless, he always can't calm down when he watches the twists and turns, and he has repeatedly run away, but he doesn't know what he is thinking, so he has been delayed until now, and he has not finished dealing with today's government affairs.

No, he's distracted again now, and he can't read a single word on the fold.

"And why are you staring at me all the time?"

"Because I like it."

Unconsciously, he remembered this conversation with Qiu Luoxue again, and the disappearing blush on his face seemed to reappear on his face.

"I think it's because I like it." Xia Zimo muttered to himself, hooked his lips and smiled, this smile was so casual that he didn't even notice it.

"It turns out that it's like to be liked by men. It's a little weird, but it's not very bad either. ”

Jin Fu, the chief eunuch beside Xia Zimo, cautiously came to Xia Zimo's side and said, "Your Majesty, it's not too early, it's time to rest."

Xia Zimo looked up at the sky outside and said, "It's so dark, it's time to rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty has been dealing with government affairs all day, so Xu is also tired. Which lady is going to rest in the palace today? Jin Fu asked.

Xia Zimo thought for a while and said, "Let's go back to the Dragon Palace." The Qilong Hall is the emperor's dormitory, very close to the imperial study.

"Which lady do you want to summon?" Jin Fu asked again.

Xia Zimo replied, "No need."
