[Chapter 25: Monarchs and Ministers Live in the Purple Palace] (1)
"Do you want to go to the stable?" Xiao Jiangyuan asked.
Jingzhong thought for a while and said, "The disciple is reluctant to go, but this is the order of the saint, and the disciple has to obey." Master must not let the saint get angry because of the disciple, and let the disciple stay there for a while, and when there is a chance in the future, the master will fish out the disciple. ”
"Then you're going to have to suffer a bit."
Jing Zhong was overjoyed by Xiao Jiangyuan's care and couldn't help but smile. Thinking of everything he saw last night, he bit his lip and said, "Everything else is easy to say, except for one thing, the identity of the apprentice has changed, according to the rules, he can't continue to live alone in this house, but the apprentice doesn't want to go to the stables to live......"
"You're worried about poor conditions in the stables?" Xiao Jiangyuan thought about it for a moment and said, "Although I haven't been there yet, after all, some of the eunuchs live there, so I know the conditions there." At most, it's a little smaller than this room, after all, you are my apprentice, and they don't dare to arrange too bad a place for you. ”
"But...... The stables are too far away. ”
"It's all in the palace, is it that far away?"
"Far! For the apprentices, it's a long way off. Jing Zhong said seriously.
Xiao Jiangyuan nodded: "That's for this reason, you can't live here anymore, otherwise it's really a toss to go back." ”
Jingzhong was a little anxious: "Master, what do you mean by apprentice...... When the apprentice went to the stable, he was too far away from the master. The apprentice is not afraid of trouble, and he has to work there during the day, which the apprentice can't change, but at least where to live at night, the apprentice wants to choose for himself. But the disciple didn't want the master to favoritism for me for this little thing, which ruined the master's reputation, so he ...... It's not as good as ......."
In Xiao Jiangyuan's impression, Jingzhong is a cool child, but today he is always distracted, and there seems to be something unspeakable. Xiao Jiangyuan has always been empathetic, so he said: "You don't want to live in the stable, and you don't want to live here?" ”
Seeing that his thoughts were accurately captured by the master, Jing Zhong pursed his lips, his gaze wandered for a moment, and he nodded heavily after a while.
"And where do you want to stay?"
“…… The apprentice wants to live with the Master! Without waiting for Xiao Jiangyuan to speak, Jing Zhong hurriedly said, "I know that when Master took me out of the court, he told his apprentice that Master doesn't like to live with others. But in the past few years, is the disciple still 'someone else' to the master? ”
- Original...... Have they been mentors and apprentices for several years?
Xiao Jiangyuan took a closer look at Jing Zhong and found that he had grown taller than himself.
Seeing Jing Zhong looking at himself with burning eyes, the question was clearly a little aggrieved, Xiao Jiangyuan was both amused and puzzled. There was a strange warm current in his heart that rippled slightly, which made Xiao Jiangyuan's heart can't help but soften. She smiled lightly and said, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" ”
Jing Zhong didn't know why he asked the words from the bottom of his heart, and he was worried and regretful, but he saw that the master was not only not angry, but also a little more gentle with himself. He couldn't help but rejoice, and his courage was plucked up again: "If the master doesn't treat the apprentice as an outsider, let the apprentice live in the master's house." In the future, the disciples will stay by the Master's side, and they will do their best to serve the Master well! ”
“…… You like my house so much? ”
"Hmm!"
"Okay, you can move here today."
After Xiao Jiangyuan left the premises, he did not go directly to the Penglai Pavilion of the Queen Wang as he had done recently, but instead went to the Zichen Palace, which he had not seen for many days.
Regarding Xiao Jiangyuan's sudden arrival, Li Longji was both surprised and unwilling. Surprisingly, he hadn't seen Xiao Jiangyuan for more than a month, and his longing had already taken root in his heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable. They were clearly in the same palace, and it would not be so troublesome to write letters to each other, but if he wanted to send someone to send her a message and ask her how she was doing, he was extremely unwilling.
He is the emperor, why did he take the initiative to greet her? Obviously, he gave her power, and he also gave her the space to achieve herself, and she couldn't do without him, how could she make it seem as if he had to be her? He originally prepared a few more reasons, planning to let Xiao Jiangyuan come back later.
- Although none of them were used.
Li Longji had to admit that without Xiao Jiangyuan's presence, he was indeed neither accustomed to nor at ease, and he really delayed a lot of things. But he didn't give up his original purpose because of this. He thinks that one day this period will pass, and when Xiao Jiangyuan wants to come back, there will be no place for her to stand, and then he will win.
But when he saw that she was in the inner court, with long sleeves and good at dancing, and he was fighting alone in the Zichen Palace, and he could be embarrassed about anything, how could he feel so uncomfortable in his heart?
It's been more than a month, and it's been dozens of days, and she hasn't said hello once, is it really happy?
Suddenly, he felt as if he had completely lost her.
He couldn't help but feel a little lost, and more reluctant. He was even a little skeptical that this was not Xiao Jiangyuan's intention.
Xiao Jiangyuan's voluntary return this time just made Li Longji regain some confidence, and also made Li Longji a little softer: Otherwise, ...... Just let her go for now? Seeing her do so happily as a eunuch, let her do it for a few more years?
Jing Zhong has been demoted by him, he is the emperor, he can't change his orders, if he doesn't let Xiao Jiangyuan come back, he will have to be troublesome if he wants to know her news again. And although this period of time is short, he really can't stand it anymore - he is the emperor, so he can't delay state affairs in order to clamp down on a woman, right?
Li Longji's heart turned a thousand times, but his face was serious, and he deliberately showed a casual appearance, and picked up a volume of music and opened it, as if he was there with Xiao Jiangyuan in the past.
His eyes didn't fall on the song at all. He knew that Xiao Jiangyuan had always been polite and rarely looked up at him, so he attracted Xiao Jiangyuan's attention with a recital, and he looked at Xiao Jiangyuan again with a big grin. Seeing that her complexion was better than before, he didn't feel a little uneasy - he was having such a bad time this time, but he was afraid that she would look very disgraced, right?
No, he had to make himself look radiant. He immediately cleared his throat and smiled at Xiao Jiangyuan: "You're back?" ”
It's as if Xiao Jiangyuan has never left.
Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at the note in Li Longji's hand steadily, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The note in everyone's hand is reversed." ”
Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that the music was really as Xiao Jiangyuan said, he hurriedly rolled it up, put it aside steadily, and chuckled: "You came back just in time, let's sort out the music over there first." ”
Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan did not move, Li Longji was a little surprised, so he listened to Xiao Jiangyuan say:
"The minister's business has not been completed, and he cannot come back yet."
This really surprised Li Longji: "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan bowed his hand and said: "The minister has something to ask for, and I hope everyone agrees." ”
Li Longji was a little unhappy: "If it's for your futile business, you don't have to speak." A mere idle stable slave and maid is also worthy of General Xiao to come to the door in person to ask for help? ”
Hearing that Li Longji's tone was wrong, although Xiao Jiangyuan didn't understand the crux of his anger, he still said in a good voice: "Everyone misunderstood, the minister is not for Jingzhong, but for himself." ”
"Oh?"
"The minister wants to ask everyone to set aside a small cubicle in the dormitory, so that the minister can live in the future. In this way, although the minister is busy in the inner court during the day, he can take care of everyone nearby at night. ”
What is this request? Is she going to live with him? Li Longji couldn't help but speed up his heartbeat: "...... What about your own house? ”
Xiao Jiangyuan smiled helplessly: "Jing Zhong seems to like the minister's room very much since he came out of the court. This time, it was because of the minister's absence that he had the opportunity to anger everyone, and went to the stable, but the minister was not happy to go, so he gave him the house to live in. ”
Li Longji suddenly didn't know whether he should continue to be angry or be happy with this unexpected joy. Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's harmless appearance, Li Longji couldn't help but wonder why Xiao Jiangyuan chose to live next to him in this huge palace.
Xu is because he likes it, or is close, or feels the most at ease by his side, or has it all, in short, he can't refuse her request: "Then you can move here today - the queen's place, how long will it take to finish?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan thanked Li Longji first and said, "The queen is very smart, probably soon." ”
Without Jing Zhong's eyes, Xiao Jiangyuan also had a headache about how to get Li Longji's information in time in the future, since Jing Zhong wanted to live in her house, then she would move to her house Ah Lang, so that she could observe it herself? Although she has confidence in herself, she must also control the time and the heat, but she must not take a good hand out of her hand.
When Jing Zhong learned about this, Xiao Jiangyuan had already moved into the Zichen Palace. While crying and laughing at Master's understanding, he was a little unconvinced. Didn't Master say that he didn't like to live with someone else, so why did he just move to that person? Although the Zichen Hall is big, it is a temple after all, and there is a difference between the master and the person after all.
Could it be that the master has already ...... that person? Deep roots?
Unconsciously, Jing Zhong hated Li Longji even more.
Ever since the fire burned down the drought and the fish, Li Longji has been determined to dismiss the prime minister, but after the resignation of the prime minister, a new prime minister must be replaced in order to minimize the impact of personnel changes on the government and government, and he began to ponder the candidate for the next prime minister.
For this reason, he tossed and turned for several nights and couldn't sleep. I thought that Xiao Jiangyuan would come to live anyway, and he talked to her, maybe he could be inspired, but in the past few days, she either didn't come back to live, or went to bed early when she came back, or simply called her sick, and begged him to let her rest and rest, let alone take care of her, and didn't say a few words.
That's too obvious, isn't it? Li Longji almost didn't expose Xiao Jiangyuan's hard work in person.
The night when Li Longji couldn't bear it anymore, he happened to think of a person, whose name was on his lips, but he couldn't say anything. None of the palace attendants on night duty around him could be used, so he simply went straight to Xiao Jiangyuan's cubicle, and found that Xiao Jiangyuan not only didn't sleep at all, but also opened the door - she could hear everything he was in the dormitory.
He laughed angrily, and immediately slammed the door and went out, passing the Chinese scholar Lang Wei to resist. The two talked for a long time without saying a word, and Wei Kang guessed about Li Longji's description: "What the sage said is not ...... Shuo Fang Jiedu made Zhang Qiqiu Zhang Gong? ”
