Chapter Twenty-Seven: There Is No Escape

Tong Qing'e opened her eyes and found herself sleeping on a big bed, with a layer of dresses neatly placed on the side of the pillow, turned her head and saw the emperor sitting on the chair, looking tired after waking up.

She hurriedly got up, put on her dress and went to serve the emperor, her mind was muddy, she couldn't remember what happened last night, and while she still had a little time, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Your Majesty ...... last night" Did you sleep well? ”

"It's fine." Han Ruzi yawned.

"Your Majesty......"

Han Ruzi straightened his face, "I don't want to mention last night's incident again, I hope you can forget it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will forget ......" Tong Qing'e's mind was still at a loss, not knowing what she should forget.

Han Ruzi made a fool of himself, last night he moved Tong Qing'e to the big bed, slept on the chair by himself, practiced reverse breathing for a while, and fell asleep not long after, and after waking up, he breathed normally, and I don't know if that exercise is useful.

Tong Qing'e opened the door and called in the other eunuchs and palace maids, and from this moment on, she could no longer talk to the emperor casually.

Han Ruzi observed with his spare eyes, and saw an old eunuch who had never seen him, everyone else was holding toiletries, only he was holding a pen in one hand and a thin book in the other, as if he wanted to record something, Tong Qing'e shook his head hesitantly at him, the old eunuch didn't say a word, and turned to leave.

Han Ruzi didn't know that this person was a eunuch who specialized in recording the emperor's daily life, but he guessed one thing: his tricks did not work, Tong Qing'e can remember what happened last night, and tonight she will probably try her best to teach the way of husband and wife.

This has become a major problem faced by Han Ruzi, which is more urgent than other things.

The morning class was given by another old gentleman, which made people drowsy, and these days, the two eunuchs were also slacking off, and they quietly snooze against the door frame without anything else, and the king of the East Sea simply fell asleep on the bookcase.

Han Ruzi knelt on the brocade mat and gently woke up the King of the East China Sea with a book.

The King of the East Sea sat up suddenly, wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and turned his head to look at the emperor angrily.

"How did you sleep last night?" Han Ruzi asked in a very low voice.

The old gentleman opposite closed his eyes slightly, shook his head, and spit out sentences of ancient text in his mouth vaguely, whether it was the sound of the wind outside the window, the snoring in the house, or the sound of the young man's speech, it could not affect him.

"Sleep...... That's it, just like usual, it's just that I got up too early and was a little sleepy. Why do you want to sue? Who can listen to this kind of lesson? The voice of the East Sea King was raised, and then immediately lowered.

"No, I mean who served you in the room last night?"

"A palace maid, how do I know who it is." The king of the East China Sea asked for his name, but he had forgotten it cleanly.

"Zhao Jinfeng." Han Ruzi still remembers.

"yes, what the hell are you trying to say?"

"It's nothing, it's just boring." Han Ruzi changed his mind and asked the King of the East China Sea for help was never a good idea, and it might cause more trouble.

The King of the East Sea was full of doubts, and it didn't take long for him to lie down and fall asleep again.

There is nothing new in the Qinzheng Palace, the war is more complicated than the emperor imagined before, the ministers are all about requisitioning people, transporting grain and grass, building roads, mobilizing horses, etc., but there are not many things related to the war, listening to their meaning, it takes at least half a month of preparation to fight with the Qi army, and the same is true for the Qi country, which is waiting for reinforcements in the east of Luoyang, and is temporarily unable to march westward.

Because of this, Han Ruzi had a lot of time to quietly practice the method of reverse breathing, and most of the time he came down, except for his belly being a little stiff, he didn't feel anything.

In the afternoon, Han Ruzi proposed to learn 100 steps of boxing, which was unanimously approved by the attendants, who were tired of Meng Che's tirade and occasional sharp boxing, and wanted to practice it, even if it was a very ordinary boxing method.

Meng Che had no reason to disagree, so he asked Zhang Yanghao, the grandson of the Marquis of Biyuan, to practice boxing.

Zhang Yanghao's grandfather and father were in the army of Taifu Cui Hong, and he was injured when he was defeated outside Linzi City, and there was no new news in the past two days, and the whole family was hanging.

Meng Che had to go into battle in person, he boxed relatively slowly, and explained while practicing, "Baibu boxing is easy to learn and difficult to master, there are two practice methods, one is used to fight, what is sought is to be stable and ruthless, the other is to strengthen the body, and the four bodies are coordinated and the muscles and bones are stretched." You are from a family, you learn the classics of literature, and the art of war is the art of war, all of which are the techniques of thousands of enemies and ten thousand enemies, such as boxing, which can be used to strengthen the body, and it doesn't cost too much to do......"

That being said, most of the attendants are teenagers, and they are not interested in strengthening their bodies, so they only learned a few tricks, and they looked for opponents for each other.

Meng Che made eyes and walked among the crowd with his sister Meng E, preventing the attendants from fighting too fiercely, and not allowing anyone to be injured.

Han Ruzi remembered Meng E's words, so he chose the practice method of strengthening the body, the movements were soothing and calm, but the number of tricks learned was relatively small, only three or five moves in an afternoon, practicing over and over again, secretly running the reverse breathing method, and found that it was actually difficult, and breathing and movements could not be coordinated.

There was no one around the emperor, only the king of the East China Sea stayed within ten steps, he was not interested in boxing at all, moved his legs and feet, began to observe the emperor, and said with a smile after a while: "Your Majesty's boxing is really special, not like fighting, not like physical fitness, but like ......" After all, there were outsiders in the room, he lowered his voice and said: "It's like a turtle turning over." ”

Han Ruzi ignored him, it was a good thing that it was difficult, at least it showed that Meng E did not lie to him with empty words.

Meng E never approached the emperor.

Practicing boxing made Han Ruzi forget a lot of troubles, but when the sun finally went down, he still had to return to Cining Palace and prepare to accept tonight's challenge.

Although he was very hungry in his stomach, Han Ruzi was absent-minded when he was eating dinner, and quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and when the king of the East China Sea was eating and there were more eunuchs and palace maids in the house, he said in a flat tone: "Zhang Youcai, you come to serve me tonight." ”

Zhang Youcai was a twelve- or thirteen-year-old little eunuch, thin and short, with a clever face, and when he heard the emperor speak, he immediately knelt down and said "obey the order".

Han Ruzi guessed that in front of so many people, Tong Qing'e would not object.

He guessed correctly, Tong Qing'e stood honestly to the side, without even raising her head, and it was another person who spoke.

An old eunuch who hadn't paid much attention to Han Ruzi came out of the queue, knelt down first, and then got up and said, "Is Your Majesty dissatisfied with the palace maids who are sleeping in the bed?" The old slave was replaced immediately. ”

"No, no, she's fine." The last thing Han Ruzi wants to see is that someone is punished for him, "I ...... In these two days, there are more frequent nights, and one more person is needed to serve. ”

The old eunuch nodded, turned to the little eunuch, and said sternly: "Zhang Youcai, be careful!" ”

Zhang Youcai just stood up for a while, and immediately knelt on the ground again, "The slave serves His Majesty wholeheartedly, and he doesn't dare to be careless." ”

The old eunuch was satisfied, and returned to his original position, Han Ruzi breathed a sigh of relief, there was one more person in the bedroom, Tong Qing'e should not teach the way of husband and wife anymore.

While eating, the king of the East Sea looked at the emperor, and seemed to see some clues, and after a while he concentrated on chewing again, although he didn't move much, he was hungry.

When it was time to go to bed, the old eunuch ordered someone to arrange a bunk on the floor next to the warm pavilion chair, and the little eunuch Zhang Youcai could only sleep here, and Han Ruzi was very unhappy, all because of his order, which caused Zhang Youcai to not sleep peacefully on the bed.

Zhang Youcai didn't care, but was very happy, even a little too excited, staring at the emperor's every move, his hands always in front of him, always wanting to go up to help, like a moving crutch.

Tong Qing'e honestly made the bed, served the emperor to change clothes, did not speak, did not even make eye contact, and returned to becoming an ordinary palace maid.

Han Ruzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

must not give birth to a prince, this is his determination and bottom line, and when it comes to the plan, he can't sleep with any palace maid.

The night was spent peacefully, Han Ruzi felt that he had won a victory, and he was in a good mood all day the next day, and even the old gentleman's "Zhou Yi" was listened to with relish.

But in this covert battle, the emperor was on the defensive, and the opponent could change his tactics at any time and attack again.

In the evening of the same day, as soon as he returned to Cining Palace, the king of the East China Sea learned that he had moved out of the main room and wanted to live in a room in the east chamber, he didn't like to share the same room with the emperor, and he didn't like to be taken away, but he didn't dare to attack directly, so he could only pick and choose the food, pick up the meat and not send it to his mouth, and throw it on the ground after a few glances, and immediately a palace maid stepped forward to clean it up.

Han Ruzi felt that this was a bad omen, but the little eunuch Zhang Youcai was still there, looking elated and anxious, and regarded serving the emperor as a great achievement.

When night fell, everyone retreated, and the king of the East Sea reluctantly went to the room in the east chamber, and snorted twice when he left, which meant very obvious: he was the master of the main house, and sooner or later he would snatch back what he had lost.

Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e were busy separately, and there was a bunk on the side of the chair, Han Ruzi was relieved, it seemed that his plan had taken effect, and he would be able to escape the catastrophe tonight.

He was too happy too early, just when everything was packed up and he could sleep, an uninvited guest came, and the eunuch Zuo Ji came uninvited again, without even knocking on the door, standing in the middle of the room and looking around, Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e immediately withdrew with interest.

"Is there anything wrong with you? I'm going to rest. Han Ruzi hoped to scare him away with the little emperor authority he had just obtained.

Zuo Ji just smiled, it was a casual and kind smile, and at the same time, it was full of fear and disrespect, "Is Your Majesty sick?" ”

"Huh? I'm in good health. ”

"Then why is Your Majesty so resistant to women?"

Zuo Ji asked too bluntly, and Han Ruzi blushed, "The Kanto rebellion has not been settled, and I ...... is still young, how can he be in the mood to think about such a thing? Who sent you? ”

Zuo Ji smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty's concern for the country and the people is admirable. But the Kwantung Rebellion can be handed over to the ministers to deal with, and there is a queen mother inside and outside the court, which is foolproof. It is His Majesty's greatest duty to perform the conjugal rite as soon as possible. ”

"I'll think about it, but not tonight." Han Ruzi can delay as long as he can, hoping to wait until Yang Feng returns.

The smile on Zuo Ji's face disappeared, "It's tonight, we can't wait any longer." ”
