The Rebirth of the Bamboo Horse Emperor

When the common people lamented that they only knew what a rich man is today, Shen Yan still expressed his gratitude to the shopkeeper in his heart.

Tianzihao private room treatment is really good!

Not only tea and snacks are available, but also servants for dispatch.

"You don't need to serve me here anymore, let's all go down." Shen Yan said expressionlessly.

The two maidservants left in response.

This theater is called Feiquanfang, and there are fourth-class private rooms of Tiandi Xuanhuang.The Tian and Di shops are on the top third floor, the Xuan and Huang shops are on the second floor, and the first floor is the lobby for ordinary people to listen to operas.

There are two Tianzihao rooms and four Dizihao rooms on this floor. The two Tianzihao rooms are facing the center of the stage, and the other four rooms are located slightly on both sides.

Jiang Mu took Gu Jue to sit on the soft stool. Both of them were too small, so Shen Yan pulled the stool and table forward and sat down. His field of vision expanded, and he could almost see the whole situation below. .

The play sung today is called "Gui Ying Nian".

It tells the story of love between the protagonist Yuying and his childhood friend Acheng.

Shen Yan really watched with relish.

This kind of play is not uncommon, it is sung almost everywhere, and now is not the prime time to listen to it, so Jiang Mu slightly despised Shen Wei for not seeing the world.

Jiang Mu was thinking about how to get away, looked around, and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Bai Muyang and Household Minister Song Jiao followed the staff to the second floor, and entered the private room of Xuanzihao.

They chose the most remote room on the side, obviously not coming for the opera.

Shen Yan stood behind them, and it happened that his whole body was blocked by a pillar, and he was concentrating on watching the play, so he didn't notice anything.

After Bai Muyang and Song Jiao entered the room, they first looked around. Jiang Mu pulled Gu Jue to lower his head slightly, and he couldn't see anything. people only.

Although Gu Jue said he didn't like to listen to opera, but this time he sang very novelly, so he listened intently, didn't want to slip away, and looked at Jiang Mu slightly puzzled.

"Hush." ​​Jiang Mu signaled him to be quiet.

Standing behind the two, Shen Yan could naturally see their actions, Jiang Mu turned to him and shook his head, telling him not to move.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Mu raised his head, guessing that the two of them would no longer look up.

Turning to Shen Yan, he said, "Guard Shen, can you hear the conversation between those two?"

Shen Yan looked in the direction he was looking, and saw that the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Rites were talking about something, their faces were a little serious and flustered.

"Return to Your Highness, the distance is a bit far, if you are directly on top of the two adults, you can easily hear it."

"I want to know what they are talking about," Jiang Mu said.

There was a rare majesty on the small face.

Shen Yan nodded.

People who practice martial arts like him are mostly as light as a swallow, so the two people downstairs didn't notice anything unusual.

"Your Highness, who is that?" Seeing Jiang Mu's serious expression, Gu Jue couldn't help asking.

Jiang Mu calmed down a bit, "It's the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Rites."

"Why do you come here to talk about things?"

"That's why I asked Guard Shen to find out what they were talking about. I always felt that it must be an incredible discovery." Jiang Mu smiled cunningly.

Gu Jue's heart trembled when he saw it.

"Seeing that you were engrossed in listening to the opera just now, how is it? Do you like it?" Jiang Mu asked.

Gu Jue said, "I've never heard of this play, it feels very different."

Jiang Mu thought to himself, of course it is different, and it is unlikely that General Gu will take you to watch this kind of play.

In the play, Ah Cheng proposes marriage to Yuying, and Yuying agrees shyly and timidly, and then the two begin to fall in love with each other.

……

Why can this passage be sung?

Jiang Mu felt a little tight in his chest.

Just as he was about to cover Gu Jue's eyes with his hands, Gu Jue turned around and covered his ears with his small hands.

Jiang Mu said, "What is this for?"

Gu Jue looked serious, "Your Highness cannot listen to this."

Jiang Mu: ...

how do you know what this is

So Jiang Mu held back the tightness in his chest and asked, pretending not to know, "Why can't I listen?"

Gu Jue's face turned red, and he stammered, "I... Brother A Ming has seen this kind of play, he said, he said that I can only watch it when I grow up, and children will lose their hearing after listening to it!" His Highness hasn't grown up yet, so naturally he can't watch it.

Will be deaf!

Jiang Mu let out a sigh of relief, blushing for a while, thinking you knew something.

"Okay, then I just don't listen." Jiang Mu took his hand off and asked again, "Who is brother A Ming?"

"It's the son of Uncle Zhou, the housekeeper."

Zhou Ming?I have no impression.Jiang Mu planned to investigate this person some other day, and even brought Huaixi to listen to this kind of play!

The Third Highness seems to have completely forgotten that he also came to listen to this kind of play today.

Fortunately, the singing time of this part is not too long, and the next scene will be the day of the two people's wedding.

The bright red costumes are very gorgeous, as if they are really married. It's no wonder that this theater doesn't even have a spacious place to stay.

Gu Jue concentrated on watching again, but Jiang Mu was not interested.Firstly, he didn't want to listen to the opera, and secondly, he had heard this opera before, and it was everywhere, so he sat aside and looked around, paying attention to the movements of the two people downstairs.

When the play was about to finish, Bai Muyang and Song Jiao left, and Shen Yan also came back.

Although he really wanted to listen to the play, he also knew the importance of it. After hearing the content of the conversation between the two of them clearly, he dared not be sloppy and listened almost verbatim.

"how?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the two adults are talking about the case of banditry in Qingzhou." Shen Yan said, with a hint of anger on his face.

"How to say?" Jiang Mu asked, he didn't expect it to be related to Qingzhou's case, but he just saw the strange behavior of the two of them.

"Li Yan, the prefect of Qingzhou, is Mr. Song's nephew. He colluded with the bandit leader, entrapped the common people, and collected money without means. Those who lost to the bandits written in the memorial, in my opinion, never thought of sending troops!" Shen Yanyue said more angry.A young man's mind is not yet fully mature, and he has not been in the world for many years, so he has the heart of a child.

"Guard Shen, can you not tell Father what happened today? Don't tell anyone." Jiang Mu thought for a while and said.

Shen Yan recovered from the anger for a while, and clearly wrote his puzzlement on his face, "Why is this, Your Highness?"

"If the father learns about this, he will be furious. Dismiss Li Yan from office, appoint a new prefect, send troops to suppress bandits, and even use the imperial army. But this matter will obviously not stop at the collusion of officials and bandits. No matter what Li Yan says He is also a magistrate, so he will not be ignorant of the fate of colluding with gangsters."

Listening to him, Shen Yan felt that he didn't look like a child.

"Give me half a month, and the banditry in Qingzhou will subside. If I fail to keep my promise, Guard Shen can tell my father what happened today. If my father blames you for not reporting it, just say it's because of my obstruction."

These words soothed Shen Yan's deepest worries. Jiang Mu knew that he cared about the safety of the people of Qingzhou, so he said this.

"I promise Your Highness, I hope His Highness can restore Qingzhou to safety." Shen Yan bowed.

It stands to reason that no one would take what a half-grown child said seriously, but Shen Yan believed what he said for some reason.

Gu Jue didn't say a word, and couldn't say a word.

He felt that after the serious illness, the Third Highness sometimes seemed to be a different person.

Because he was almost inseparable from Jiang Mu, eating, sleeping, practicing martial arts in the morning, and even showing respect.

Sometimes he would also think that he had never had the opportunity to get to know His Highness the Third Highness before, maybe he had such a character in the first place.

But what he said just now, no matter the content or the expression when speaking, no matter how he said it, he would not be able to say it at his age.

Gu Jue's palms were sweating coldly.

What kind of person is the Third Highness?

Jiang Mu obviously felt the changes in the people around him, thinking that he was a little disgusted by hearing these dirty things.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Jiang Mu put on a smile again, and said softly, "The play is over, where do you want to go next?"

Gu Jue looked at him, because Jiang Mu was half a head shorter than him, so he always raised his head to look at him when speaking, which was funny for no reason.

But he couldn't laugh, "Your Highness, I'm a little tired, why don't you go back to the palace."

There was an obvious rustiness in the tone, which made Jiang Mu a little taken aback.

But he still nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go back to the palace."

Shen Yan naturally didn't say much, and followed the two of them out.

After Shen Yan returned to the emperor, the two returned directly to Fengxi Palace.

Along the way, Gu Jue didn't say a word, and kept his head down.

Jiang Mu really couldn't bear it.

He stopped, and Gu Jue also stopped.

"Huaixi, did I do something you don't like?"

"Return to Your Highness, not at all." Gu Jue said.

"Then why didn't you say a word all the way?" Jiang Mu was a little angry, but more anxious.

She was fine when she was listening to the play, why did she have this relationship again?

Gu Jue didn't speak.

"I was asking you something, why didn't you answer?" He was anxious, so he completely ignored how harsh his tone was.

If he doesn't have Gu Jue, he doesn't know what's the point of reliving this life.

He anxiously passed Gu Jue's small body and stared at him.

"Chen, I'm just a little tired." Gu Jue still didn't look at him, but he clearly saw something in Gu Jue's eyes that was about to drop.

Jiang Mu blamed himself immensely.

What am I doing? !

He anxiously hugged Gu Jue into his arms, repeating over and over again, "I'm sorry, Huaixi, I shouldn't have spoken to you like this. Don't cry, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Gu Jue was just a little aggrieved at first, but when he thought that the person in front of him was a prince, he had no responsibility to treat him well, and he was a proton, so he just said something harsh, so there was nothing he could not accept.

But Jiang Mu hugged him tightly, and said those words again, tears just fell down.

He hurriedly reached out to wipe it off. His father said that a man bleeds but does not shed tears.

But he was small, with short arms and legs, and with Jiang Mu standing in front of him, he couldn't reach his face at all.From Jiang Mu's point of view, it felt like Huaixi reached out to hug him back, so he stretched out his hand to hug his little Huaixi even tighter.

Gu Jue was helpless, choked up and said, "Your Highness, I'm almost out of breath."

Hearing this, Jiang Mu let him go, looked at his smudged face, and stretched out his hand to wipe it for him.

His eyes were full of distress and self-blame.

Gu Jue looked at him in a daze and forgot to stop him.

After wiping away his tears, Jiang Mu said, "Huaixi, I promise I won't talk to you like this in the future. Don't be mad at me, okay? Don't cry?"

Gu Jue said, "Your Highness, I just have some doubts."

"Any doubts?"

"I don't know which one is the real Highness." Kind, filial, respectful, distant, gentle, decisive, cruel, and cunning.

Jiang Mu was stunned.

Huai Xi is afraid of herself?

Jiang Mu couldn't laugh or cry, children are so sensitive, and he acted for others on different occasions, so it's no wonder that he was so negligent.

He looked into Gu Jue's eyes, and solemnly assured, "No matter what I do, I will never do anything to hurt you, or lie to you, trust me, Huaixi."

"There is only one thing I cannot tell you, but I will never lie to you. When the time comes, I will tell you."

"No matter what I do to others, I will never hurt you."

When Gu Jue heard the words, it seemed as if all the strength in his body had been sucked away. He dared to ask that sentence just now, and he was ready to contradict the prince and be questioned.

Fortunately, the Third Highness will not lie to him.

He believed in the Third Highness.

No matter what the reason is, as long as he is good to himself and not fake.

This is his only friend in the palace.

Gu Jue said, "Okay, I believe you."

Jiang Musong let out a sigh of relief, only to find out later that he did not claim to be a minister, and it seemed that he let go of the grudge in his heart.

"Then let's go back to the palace to greet the concubine mother." Jiang Mu stretched out his hand to him.

Gu Jue looked at it, and put his hand in his palm.
