Jun Beiyu took it, but he didn't drink it, he scooped it carefully first, and said suspiciously, "Pearls? ”

Murong Suzaku explained, "Don't get me wrong, this pearl is not the other pearl, it seems to be made of glutinous rice dumplings, I don't know how to do it exactly, it was a few of them who made it." If you don't like it, just drink the soup. ”

The voice paused, "Of course, it's okay if you don't drink it, many men don't like milk." ”

Jun Beiyu took a spoonful and chewed the "pearl": "Have you forgotten that I was forced by you to drink milk every day before?" ”

Only then did Murong Zhuque remember that at that time, in order to let King Rui supplement protein, she did force him to drink milk for a while.

He didn't mention it, she forgot about it.

It's only been half a year, but it seems like many years, even more than ten years.

Jun Beiyu drank a spoonful, then put down the bowl without a trace, and rinsed his mouth with the tea on the side.

Murong Suzaku knew that he wouldn't like it, "Entering the palace today, is it smooth?" ”

"Smooth, the emperor promised to go to the Xuanlong Temple on the Weishan Mountain outside Beijing to worship," Jun Beiyu said in his tone, but there was no joy, "The specific time has not yet been decided, but it is estimated that it will not be too late, the emperor has been in an unstable mood recently, and he should be in a hurry to worship." ”

Murong Suzaku nodded slowly, "On the day of the worship, did you leave?" ”

"Hmm."

"It's all arranged? Is there anything I need to do? ”

"No, I'll arrange it." Jun Beiyu suddenly blamed himself, and he didn't even dare to look at her.

Murong Suzaku's heart was also heavy, and he said in a low voice, "Next year, they will be Earth Fire Dragons." ”

"What is the Earth Fire Dragon?"

"Hollow out the ground of the house where you often live, leave a firewood outside the house, and lay red bricks on top of it to conduct heat and keep warm, as soon as the weather is cool, as long as you burn firewood outside the house, the heating air will fill the ground, and the temperature will be transmitted to the house through the red bricks, so that you don't need to burn a stove or brazier in the room. The room is clean and free of smoke and dust, and it can also prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. ”

Jun Beiyu smiled, "So amazing? Is it your technology over there? ”

Murong Suzaku pulled the corners of his mouth, "This thing is not technology, it is something that has been passed down in ancient times." Our modern heating methods are much more advanced than this. ”

Jun Beiyu said meaningfully, "I understand what you mean, I will try my best to come back before next winter and see the Earth Fire Dragon you made." ”

Then the two fell silent again.

The atmosphere was sad, and Jun Beiyu quietly diverted the topic, "When I entered the palace to see the emperor today, I found one thing, but I don't know, I saw it wrong or something." ”

"What's the matter?"

Jun Beiyu frowned, recalling the picture in the imperial study just now, "I think that the emperor looks young, and it has nothing to do with the alchemy of the national teacher, it may be a trick to hide the eyes." ”

"Tricks?" Murong Suzaku was puzzled.

Jun Beiyu nodded, "Today's emperor's face...... How to describe it? The facial features are still the same, the appearance has not changed, but it is indescribably weird, and the position of the hairline, there are some bizarre folds, and it doesn't look like a human skin mask, somehow. ”

Murong Suzaku recalled the appearance of the emperor before, and suddenly had an idea, "I have a bold guess, let's go, let's find an experimenter." ”

“？”

Jun Beiyu saw that Murong Suzaku insisted, so he could only listen to her.

The two put on thick cloaks, changed into waterproof leather boots, and went out of the Hundred Bird Courtyard to the gatehouse.

Uncle Ding in the concierge was sweeping the yard.

Murong Suzaku invited Uncle Ding into the room, took out a ball of thread from the space, and cut out two.

Under the puzzled gaze of King Rui and Uncle Ding, a thread was tied to the hair above the tail of Uncle Ding's eyebrows. Another thread is tied to Uncle Ding's head above the tail of another eyebrow.

After that, he pulled the two lines back hard, and Uncle Ding only felt that his scalp was tensed all of a sudden.

Murong Suzaku said to King Rui, "Lord Wang, look, did Uncle Ding become five or six years younger in an instant?" ”

Jun Beiyu hurriedly came to Uncle Ding and was surprised, "Yes!" Magical! It's amazing! ”

Murong Suzaku tied the two threads and cut out two more threads.

This time, it was the hair tied above Uncle Ding's ears, and then pulled hard to tie it behind his head.

Jun Beiyu exclaimed, "This time, I am at least ten years old. ”

Uncle Ding was confused - how to tie his hair so that he could be young?

Murong Suzaku took out a small bronze mirror from his sleeve (space) and showed it to Uncle Ding, and Ding San was also surprised after reading it, "Yo! I'm so young, old man! ”

Murong Zhuque said with a smile, "Uncle Ding, you are busy first, don't be in a hurry to dismantle it, be 'young' for a while, and let Uncle Heng and them take a look." Before going to bed, just have someone cut off the two threads. ”

"Yes, Princess, that villain must be very rare." Ding San said with a grin.

Murong Zhuque and King Rui left the gatehouse and walked towards the Hundred Bird Courtyard, saying as they walked, "The last palace banquet, when I saw the emperor, I felt that his face was a little strange. It occurred to me later that he was especially like our patients after modern facelifts. ”

"Facelift?"

"Yes, it is in the four positions where I just tied the rope, cut the skin, attach the fascia layer, lift it upward, tighten the loose face like a bulging skin, and then re-stitch it to cut off the excess skin."

Jun Beiyu was surprised, "So bloody? Someone actually did such a bloody operation. ”

Murong Suzaku smiled, "How can there be a surgery that is not bloody?" At that time, Li Gongzi fainted directly, don't you remember? Besides, for the sake of being young, it's normal to suffer a little. ”

Jun Beiyu nodded clearly, "So, the emperor's youth before was an illusion, but why don't you use means to maintain your youth now?" ”

Murong Suzaku pondered for a moment and said tentatively, "Could it be related to Concubine Hu?" I heard that since the death of King Chen, Hu Guifei has been stimulated and gone crazy. In the past, the emperor favored Hu Guifei alone, and it is possible that Hu Guifei would use this kind of young method, and she was willing to keep it a secret for the emperor. Now that Hu Guifei's son is dead, he has no heart to care about the emperor, and the emperor is afraid that outsiders will know this secret, so he is getting more and more anxious? ”

"Possibly."

"Actually, it's completely unnecessary, the emperor cares about being young, it doesn't mean that outsiders also care. What if outsiders know that he is not young anymore? Is...... Sick psychology. ”

"yes."

Whether the emperor is young or not is not an important matter, and the two of them are just regarded as a small episode of life and a conversation after tea and dinner.

The two walked slowly and chatted casually.

After a while, Murong Suzaku asked softly, "Really...... Is it arranged? Don't need my help? ”

Jun Beiyu took a deep look at her and said solemnly, "Trust me." ”

Murong Suzaku sighed, "Okay, I believe in you. ”

……

The two guessed that the emperor would be in a hurry, but they didn't expect that he would be in such a hurry.

On the night of King Rui's suggestion, the emperor summoned his ministers and said that he was going to Xuanlong Temple to worship.

Qi Ge Lao and the others heard that the emperor was just worshipping, and there were no more monks and Taoists making waves, so they agreed.
