I don't want to play anymore

Chapter 11 The Moonlight May Be Frost on the Ground

In the teahouse filled with the fragrance of tea, the young man who had just beaten someone and attracted much attention suddenly went to buy a string of candied haws in front of everyone.

This is a miracle.

What's even more strange is that he even handed the bunch of candied haws to the young man who looked like a heavenly man opposite him...

Like giving a treasure.

Many students in the building saw it in their eyes, and their hearts were full of doubts - how old are these two?

It's just surprises, but after seeing the young man's temper, no one dares to talk nonsense.

Gu Jingyuan held up the candied haws, his eyes fell on it, and he didn't move for a long time.

"Yaoyang... don't you like it?"

Long Yanzhao was still looking at him with great interest, but when he saw that he didn't move, he finally realized something, and said with some embarrassment: "If you don't like it, don't force it, I was the one who was abrupt..."

Before Gu Jingyuan could finish his sentence, he opened his mouth and bit off half of it.

The hawthorn frozen in the snow and ice is a bit hard, but the sugar coating outside is as transparent and clear as amber.

Bite down, the crunchy icing makes a crisp sound, put it in the mouth together with the hawthorn meat inside, don't chew, just suck the saliva, the sweet and sour taste will diffuse into the taste buds.

Gu Jingyuan was agitated by the sour smell at first, and his expression was slightly distorted.But after getting used to the sour-sweet smell, it became more natural. After eating half of one, I went to bite the other half. After eating all of it, I said, "It's not bad."

Long Yanzhao laughed, "As long as Yaoyang likes it."

He stared blankly at Gu Jingyuan, watched him eat, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand. He gently rubbed the corner of Gu Jingyuan's mouth with his warm thumb, helping him wipe off some residue hanging on it.

Gu Jingyuan was used to being touched by him and did not feel uncomfortable.

Holding the bamboo sticks with slender and fair fingers, Gu Jingyuan ate very decently.

Even if it is a bunch of candied haws, he can eat it gracefully and with a different style.

Some people are like this, simply looking at his words and deeds is like appreciating a famous painting, which makes people want to stop.

Long Yanzhao couldn't help but keep watching.

It's just that the more you look, the deeper the eyes become.

Gu Jingyuan's face, with delicate features but three-dimensional and profound, is highly recognizable.

The red marks on his eyebrows are even more conspicuous. People who know Mr. Gu can easily recognize him at a glance even in the crowd.

Long Yanzhao's gaze finally fell on that scar.

Not knowing what to think of, he sighed.

Very light, but enough to attract Gu Jingyuan's attention.

Probably because he has always put his whole body and mind on the Ninth Five Lord. While Long Yanzhao sighed, Gu Jingyuan had already looked at him.

Normally, Mr. Gu looked at him coldly and restrainedly, but when he was on the bed, those eyes would become moist and hot, full of longing.But this time, I don't know if there are red candied haws as a backdrop, Long Yanzhao only thinks that Gu Jingyuan's eyes are round and round when he sees him, which is inexplicably cute.

All the melancholy and regret disappeared, and the Ninth Five-Year Lord couldn't help laughing: "It's nothing, I was thinking, if Ah Yuan likes to eat, I will often ask people to come out to buy it."

Gu Jingyuan swallowed a little bit of sweetness in his mouth, his complexion was a little rosy against the background of the fiery red hawthorn, he smiled and said: "Young master seems to have forgotten, I am afraid that I usually live outside, and I can eat it by myself anytime I want." purchase."

Long Yanzhao raised his eyebrows, and said rather rascally: "But I just want Ah Yuan to eat for me alone."

Unexpectedly, the emperor would make such a childish request, Gu Jingyuan froze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the other party had already planned and said: "Ying Er is best at lightness kungfu, and it will not take much time to go back and forth."

Shadow Two is the current leader of the Shadow Guard under Long Yanzhao.

No one would send their best subordinates to buy candied haws.

Gu Jingyuan knew that he was just joking, so he chuckled lightly, and responded casually: "Yes."

Later, Gu Jingyuan ate a whole bunch of candied haws by himself.

Long Yanzhao just quietly watched him finish eating, and did not disturb him any more.

But even so, I still feel that it is not enough.

In fact, the two light-colored thin lips are also coated with sugar, making them crystal clear, very similar to the glazed crystals brought over from the Western Regions, making people want to kiss Fangze and taste the sweetness.

It's a pity that it's in the public eye now.

Long Yanzhao felt that it was a pity, fortunately there were still many matters waiting for him to go back to deal with, and because those people had disturbed his interest earlier, the two of them sat for a while and decided to go back home.

Although the Ninth Five Lord has many things to do, Long Yanzhao also knows how to combine work with rest.

On the way back, he trapped Gu Jingyuan in the carriage, and finally tasted those two thin lips that were crystal clear and tinged with sweetness as he wished.

After a winter snowfall, the weather is miraculously warmer again this year.

Taking advantage of the fact that the winter season has not officially entered, Long Yanzhao suddenly had a whim and decided to hold an autumn hunt.

The Dayi Dynasty emphasized martial arts, and the emperors of all dynasties were good at riding and shooting. Hunting activities were often carried out in spring and autumn.

It's just that after Long Yanzhao succeeded to the throne, the court hadn't had any similar activities for many years.

At first, the emperor was young and couldn't think of this.Later, he fought with the regent, and all his energy was tied up, and he had no intention of organizing any activities.

The emperor had never mentioned this before.

But for some reason, now he suddenly became interested in hunting in autumn.

But after all, it is a routine matter handed down from the ancestors. Although the emperor's idea came out of the way, few people opposed it.

The people below are all stepping up their preparations, and even the Queen Mother in the harem has become interested in this autumn hunt.

In the early morning, Gu Jingyuan was helping Long Yanzhao get dressed.

Long Yanzhao suddenly said: "During the autumn hunting, Ah Yuan will accompany you."

Gu Jingyuan suddenly heard the words, paused, and looked up at Long Yanzhao.

He was arranging the complicated knots on the emperor's belt, so he still maintained a half-kneeling posture, his posture looked respectful and humble.

I saw that the emperor was also looking down at him, his eyes were tender, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips: "I want to see Ah Yuan's hunting level."

Gu Jingyuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is just joking."

Looking at him, Long Yanzhao didn't change his intention because of this, but was even more eager to try.

He lifted Gu Jingyuan from his kneeling posture, and two tall figures stood together, and the scar on Gu Jingyuan's eyebrow fell into Long Yanzhao's eyes.

The Ninth Five-Year Lord stretched out his hand to caress the scar, and said to himself: "What's so difficult about riding a horse and hunting? Didn't I learn it when I was a child without being taught? Ah Yuan is so smart that he will definitely learn it soon."

Having said that, he lightly touched the fingertips of the opponent's eyebrows and put them down.

For some unknown reason, Long Yanzhao deliberately approached Gu Jingyuan, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I can't wait to see Ah Yuan in riding clothes."

The voice is hoarse and ambiguous.

Raising his arms around the slender waist wrapped in red clothes, the emperor showed a naughty smile: "I don't know if the clothes can be easily taken off like this imperial uniform."

"..."

The hot and humid breath gushed into his ears, Gu Jingyuan lowered his head slightly, and did not speak again.

He still looks as obedient as ever.

It even made people think that he was blushing again.

But this time, Gu Jingyuan's complexion did not change at all.

If there is, it is not red.

Instead, it became whiter.

On the day of autumn hunting, banners and flags covered the sky, and almost all the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty were dispatched, including the people in the harem headed by the Queen Mother, marching towards the paddock with great momentum.

On this day, the sky was blue and sunny, the dome was clear, and the sky was cloudless.

It is indeed a good day for outdoor activities.

Inside the Royal Enclosure is a vast forest. Because few people come, the lush trees in the forest often block the sun, but there is still some snow in the enclosure.

But this does not affect the good mood of those who come out to hunt.

Long Yanzhao sat astride the horse's back with a straight waist, wearing a bright yellow riding suit, short coat and long boots, and a long body.

He didn't take a carriage all the way, just like the sun in the morning, the young emperor is full of vigor and grandeur, and he is undoubtedly the only one out there.

Accompanying him is the young master of the Quang Binh Palace.

Zhuo Yangqing's father was stationed at the border all year round. Although the young master had abandoned martial arts and followed literature, he had worked hard on horseback since he was a child. Riding a horse to shoot and hunt was like dressing and eating.

He is also distinguished, he is not only the son of an important minister, but also the best friend of the emperor, so it is normal for him to accompany him.

Gu Jingyuan, who was sitting on the carriage at the back of the line, rolled up his sleeves, leaned against the swaying carriage, and thought slowly.

Although today is sunny and sunny, it still snowed a few days ago.

Gu Jingyuan shrank his shoulders in fear of the cold, and hugged the hand stove tightly in his arms.

Royal hunting, accompanied by hundreds of officials.

Gu Jingyuan really had no interest in riding and archery, but because of his official position and it was difficult to ask for leave, he followed without saying anything.

It's just that what His Majesty said about teaching him to ride a horse and hunt, Gu Jingyuan just hid whenever he could, and didn't want to go.

The mighty team soon came to the inside of the paddock. After the simple sacrificial ceremony, the officials who liked to ride and shoot followed the emperor to hunt.

The Dayi Dynasty was a world fought on horseback, only at this time, no distinction was made between high and low, anyone who came could participate in the hunt, anyone could walk alongside the emperor, and even snatch the prey.

Therefore, the hunting scene was extremely spectacular, with tens of thousands of horses galloping and roaring out, while Gu Jingyuan and the rest of the people stayed at the place where the ceremony had just been held, waiting for the hunter's smooth return.

Fortunately, among the hundreds of officials in the Dayi Dynasty, not everyone was good at riding and shooting, and there were quite a few officials who stayed in their positions. Gu Jingyuan was dressed in a court uniform, and sitting among these people would not look awkward.

A hunt usually lasts at least two or three hours. Gu Jingyuan's legs became numb from sitting, and he drank a lot of tea, so he simply got up and went to the latrine.

The colleague next to him wanted to go with him. He said he was a colleague, but in fact he was a subordinate. His surname was Song, and he was about the same age as Gu Jingyuan. Because of his family connections, he was arranged to serve in the court. Now he happens to be working under Gu Jingyuan. .

"Your Majesty and the others have been out for almost an hour, when does Mr. Gu think they will come back?" On the way, Song Xinrui took the initiative to talk.

Gu Jingyuan seldom had personal relationships with other ministers on weekdays, and he was stern and impartial in his work, so even though he was usually dressed in red, Song Xinrui was still somewhat afraid of him when interacting with him.

If it weren't for those frivolous peach blossom eyes tainted with a bit of spring, when looking at people, they would make people feel excited for no reason, maybe Gu Jingyuan should be an extremely cold existence in the eyes of others.

But Gu Jingyuan himself has no pretensions.He looked at the sky and replied: "The weather is good today, I think we have to wait a little longer."

After receiving the response, Song Xinrui suddenly felt that the brand had been turned over. Even though the analogy was very inexplicable, he happily followed Gu Jingyuan and raised his eyes to see Master Gu's back from half a step away from him.

Master Gu is not only handsome and unparalleled, but also tall.

Especially when he was wearing an official uniform, his waist was straight and his waist was slender, and his shoulders were sunken. Even from behind, he could see his long neck, which was high-spirited.

There is a kind of nobility in every gesture, as well as the gentleness unique to some scholars.

This is Mr. Gu. He is the adopted son of the Prince Regent, and he has that kind of relationship with the Emperor, but he has always been very measured. He never shows the slightest bit of publicity or arrogance in his words and actions, and is low-key and calm.

If you really answered the words of other adults... Although this Mr. Gu is young, he is as deep as the sea, making it difficult for people to see through.

No one can see through.

Gu Jingyuan didn't know that he had long been covered with a veil of mystery in the eyes of others. He walked ahead, and when he passed the rockery in the backyard of the palace, he stopped suddenly.

There was a voice behind the rockery, not loud, it sounded like two people whispering.

But Gu Jingyuan has always had excellent hearing.

Before Song Xinrui noticed that there was someone behind the mountain, he had already heard what the two of them were talking about.

"I heard that the little prince of Beirong is naturally hot, flamboyant, and very good at riding and shooting. That's why His Majesty likes hunting... On the other hand, that one is not so good."

"A substitute is just a substitute after all, it's just a resemblance, how can it compare to the demeanor of a prince of a country?"

"I heard that the reason why His Majesty pushed Autumn Hunting until this time is to wait for that person to come back...Who wouldn't want to take another look at the demeanor of his beloved on the horse? It's so far away, and the other party is the prince of the enemy country. If not, it would be good to find a substitute to imitate."

"It's a pity that our Lord Gu doesn't know fun. He doesn't even want to imitate. I don't know how long he can stay by His Majesty's side if this continues..."
