I don't want to play anymore

The next day, Long Yanzhao came down from the morning court and went to greet the Empress Dowager according to the rules.

It stands to reason that to greet the Empress Dowager should be there every morning and evening, or at least every day.

But the Queen Mother claimed that she would worship the Buddha sooner or later, and since Long Yanzhao was taken back to the palace at the age of 13, she hardly saw the Queen Mother more than three times a week.

After so many years, Long Yanzhao has changed from a little emperor with nothing at the beginning to a high-spirited young emperor. He has long been used to the rule of going to pay his respects twice a week.

As for what the mother and son would say every time they met the Queen Mother, it was nothing more than the things in the harem.

"A few days ago, the Ai family heard that Prime Minister Zuo's youngest son has just turned sixteen and has not yet married a wife. He has not yet found a house or concubine. That young man is born with a good face, the emperor..."

The Empress Dowager has a string of Buddhist beads in her hand all the year round, and her face is solemn and dignified. She didn't expect to say such matchmaking words when she opened her mouth.

Long Yanzhao is also used to this.

He sneered: "Prime Minister Zuo is an important minister, how can his son Zhen be blessed?"

The queen mother was not surprised, and said: "Then the emperor can consider Wang An's family..."

"The youngest son of Wang An's family? He has two courtyards to fill in the house. He doesn't like men, so why bother to make things difficult for him." Later, Long Yanzhao didn't even have a smile on his face. He said bluntly, "Don't worry about my mother. There's really not that much demand."

"But the emperor has repeatedly kept Mr. Gu to stay overnight in the palace..." At this point, the queen mother raised her eyelids, "If it gets out, wouldn't it be a loss of face for my court?"

Having said that, Long Yanzhao has no patience.

He still used the usual excuses, "I only have feelings for Mr. Gu's face. The queen mother devotes herself to worshiping the Buddha, so you don't have to worry about these little things about my son."

The queen mother is not easy to get along with, she has always been a very serious mother, suddenly hearing what he said, her eyes were lifted up, and she looked even more fierce.

"Your Majesty, is this your attitude when talking to Aijia?!"

Gu Jingyuan went to deal with some official duties, and when he returned to the palace, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard a crisp sound of broken porcelain coming from the imperial study.

He paused, but still walked into the room, only to see the tea spilled all over the floor, and the cleaned ground was full of fragments of teacups, Long Yanzhao stood with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty?" he asked aloud.

Only then did Long Yanzhao turn around, the face of the young emperor was clouded.

"A Yuan is here."

The emperor's face softened a little, and Hong Taiquan ordered the people below to come in and clean up the ground with great insight. Gu Jingyuan walked around the debris and walked to the emperor, asking him: "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"Not yet my mother's queen." Long Yanzhao said, rubbing his eyebrows a little irritably:

"When I first came to the throne, when the queen mother and the regent joined forces to control the government, I didn't see how much the queen mother cared about my harem."

Gu Jingyuan was silent after hearing this, and already knew the reason why Long Yanzhao was so angry.

It's just that they went to see the Queen Mother again, and the two had another "old-fashioned talk" about this matter.

Every time the emperor went to see the queen mother, he was in a bad mood when he came back.

Gu Jingyuan said: "Your Majesty, can I help you change your clothes?"

He went to pay his respects just after the morning court, Long Yanzhao was indeed still wearing heavy court clothes.

Gu Jingyuan's gentle demeanor calmed down his anger a little. He raised his arms and allowed Mr. Gu to help him change his clothes.

Gu Jingyuan raised his hand to unbutton his chest.

Looking at the young man's low-browed, pleasing appearance and meticulous service, the past flashed across his mind, Long Yanzhao felt sore in his heart, and continued to say as if venting his anger: "When I grow up a little bit, when I realize that I have my own power, Gu Yuanjin then sent you to Zhen's side in an attempt to spy on me...the queen mother agreed."

During that time, the queen mother still liked Gu Jingyuan very much.

Just like today, they kept saying that this son was handsome, talented, and yet to marry a wife.

Suggesting that he should keep people around.

It wasn't until the power of the relatives behind the queen mother was suppressed and annexed by Gu Yuanjin little by little, and the regent's family dominated, that the queen mother became more and more disliked by Gu Jingyuan.

Now that the Prince Regent's power has also been weakened, the Empress Dowager's desire to place her people by her side has been clearly revealed, and Long Yanzhao would feel a headache every time he thinks about it.

"What does she think of me? No tool for feelings?...Her puppet?! Has she ever seen me as her own child..."

When Long Yanzhao said this, Gu Jingyuan had already taken off the dragon robe that was covering him.

Putting on the bright yellow uniform, Gu Jingyuan knelt on the ground as usual, tidying up the corners of his clothes carefully.

While tidying up, he lowered his eyes and thought over and over again, Gu Jingyuan still opened his mouth and said with a hint of persuasion: "Everyone has selfishness, and not all parents love their children. The emperor should live for himself, don't let me be a fool." It's a dead end..."

"You mean, the queen mother doesn't love me at all?"

A deep voice came from the top of the head with no intention of knowing, and the Ninth Five Lord suddenly interrupted his words.

Gu Jingyuan stopped his movements and half-prostrated on the ground: "I didn't mean that."

Long Yanzhao has already squatted down.

The emperor is tall, not as thin as Gu Jingyuan, even if he squats down, he still has a domineering aura.

Gu Jingyuan's jaw was pinched, and he was forced to look up at the emperor.

With sword eyebrows and star eyes, Long Yanzhao originally had the most masculine and handsome appearance, but at this moment, those eyes were dark and dark, with a hint of tyranny brewing in them.

"The queen mother doesn't love me." He paused every word as he spoke.

"But what if I insist on her love?"

Seeing this situation, the palace servants who cleaned up the fragments of tea dregs were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up.

The young emperor was not angry and arrogant, and his voice became even lower: "The Queen Mother likes power, so I will take all the rights in this world and become the supreme emperor."

"His Majesty……"

"At that time, she will like me."

"Your Majesty...you are hurting me."

Gu Jingyuan's soft voice rang in his ears, Long Yanzhao came back to his senses, and immediately let go.

But there was still a fingerprint on Gu Jingyuan's jaw.

The abusive atmosphere suddenly dissipated, and Long Yanzhao rubbed the trace.

"I'm sorry, Yuan, I was reckless."

Gu Jingyuan didn't blame him, and there was only worry in his expression.

He opened his mouth slowly: "The emperor has great ambitions, which is a good thing. It's just that the people of the world should be put first, and it shouldn't be for personal reasons..."

The palace people who were kneeling around heard the words, and they dared not speak out.

——The emperor's mood is obviously very bad, Mr. Gu dare to say that? !

At such a time, shouldn't you comfort yourself, express your loyalty and love by the way, and say something that you will love and follow His Majesty no matter what?

Although Mr. Gu climbed the dragon bed, he is still different from the jester.

Others wished to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits for themselves, but only Mr. Gu was not afraid of persuading him at such a time.

Everyone was waiting for the emperor to explode one step further, but no one thought that the emperor actually held Mr. Gu in his arms. Not only did he not blame him, but he even touched his face and hugged him even tighter. up.

"A Yuan is the best. Others have selfishness when they stay by my side, but A Yuan doesn't."

Long Yanzhao said with satisfaction.

He is not a tyrant after all, he can distinguish between good and bad inside and outside.Those just now were nothing more than angry words.

At this time, if Gu Jingyuan took the opportunity to express his love and loyalty to him, then he would be a treacherous minister, and he would be selfish.

But Ah Yuan always thinks of himself wholeheartedly. Even if the honest words are harsh, Long Yanzhao listens sweetly.

Gu Jingyuan did not accept the emperor's praise.He said: "Your Majesty...the minister is also selfish and greedy."

"Oh?" Long Yanzhao laughed, he didn't believe it at all, he asked him: "Then what is Ah Yuan's selfishness? Tell me about it?"

Gu Jingyuan raised his eyes upon hearing the sound.

Maybe he was thinking about how to say it, but his expression looked a bit dazed, but his pair of bright peach blossom eyes were blinking, black and white pupils were full, reflecting the handsome face of the young emperor.

Being watched by such focused eyes, people's hearts will become warmer and more at ease.

Before Gu Jingyuan could speak, Long Yanzhao had already laughed loudly: "Is it still right? Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan..."

He caressed Gu Jingyuan's slender waistline, wishing to embed such a obedient and dependent person in his arms forever.Even the irritability that had been tainted by the queen mother just now disappeared.

That's right, with Gu Jingyuan around, why not worry about this world not being his?

And the most reassuring thing is that Gu Jingyuan will always be there.

A young chivalrous man came quietly from the capital, and Gu Jingyuan went out to the palace alone while Long Yanzhao was talking with the two prime ministers.

He had reserved a small room in Ming'an Building, and when he rushed over, the young knight was already sitting inside waiting for him.

To say he is a chivalrous man is not really appropriate, that man has a delicate features and looks gentle.It's just dressed as a chivalrous man, and his brows are sharp and bold, with a bit of boldness and generosity.

"Master Rong, long time no see." Gu Jingyuan went in to greet him.

"Don't waste time, reach out."

Rongqing cut to the chase.

Gu Jingyuan sat down and asked him to take his pulse.

After a while, Rong Qing withdrew his hand: "It's nothing, nothing. You've been sick and sleepy for the past few days, it's just a common cold, and you're almost fine."

Gu Jingyuan tucked his hands into his sleeves again, heaved a sigh of relief, smiled lightly and thanked: "Thank you, Brother Rong, and thank you for making this special trip."

"Your place is not far from mine, and it's only half a day's journey." Rong Qing's temperament is bold, and his words are not polite. Letting others take it out is not a bad dish!"

Gu Jingyuan lowered his eyes and smiled wryly: "Brother Rong said so."

"...So when is Brother Gu going to leave Beijing?" Rong Qing asked him again.

Gu Jingyuan replied: "Soon."

"I really don't understand why you insist on coming to Dayi to help the little emperor." Rong Qing said while pouring himself a cup of tea.

He underestimated how old Gu Jingyuan was, and seeing him step by step to where he is today, he felt somewhat resentful.

"In the past, Yang Jin, that stupid big man, was devoted to assisting the little emperor. He also served as a general to fight enemies for him, and also trained shadow guards for him in private. In the end, he was still... But he is very pleasant, and his father is the current prime minister. , he is loyal to the emperor and protects the lord, he has a reason. What do you think you are planning?"

Gu Jingyuan just lowered his eyes and listened to him.

It's just that the back and neck are straight, with such a posture and such an expression, it seems naturally paranoid.

Rong Qing sighed, and didn't say anything, just handed a delicate small box to Gu Jingyuan: "This is my newly refined anti-child medicine, as long as you take it within twelve hours after intercourse, there will be absolutely no accidents."

"Thank you, Brother Rong." Gu Jingyuan thanked again.

"But there are only so many for the time being." Rong Qing said again: "Save it! Brother Gu's recent consumption is a bit high."

Gu Jingyuan: "..."

A blush crept up her cheeks uncontrollably.

Rong Qing: "Actually, I don't understand the most. Since you don't like that little emperor, why do you still cling to him and let him do whatever you want?"

Gu Jingyuan bit his lips when he heard the words, his complexion turned from red to white again.

In the middle of the night, on the dragon bed entwined with bright yellow gauze, Gu Jingyuan was pinned tightly around his waist.

The emperor restrained yesterday, and today he will redouble his demands.

He was a little unconscious, whimpering and talking nonsense: "Your Majesty, it hurts."

On the night of the Empress Dowager's birthday last year, he also cried out in pain like this.

Long Yanzhao was drunk.

He also drank.

They were all inexperienced back then, and he was in so much pain.

But also because I finally felt pain again in the barren years when there was nothing and nothing, so it seemed to be alive.

Gu Jingyuan is greedy for this fresh life.

He also has selfishness and greed.

……

Gu Jingyuan begged for mercy softly like a kitten, Long Yanzhao was in a good mood, he couldn't help touching the tears at the corners of his eyes, "Then I'll be gentler?"

It's light, it's really light.

Gu Jingyuan buried his flushed face under the quilt, trembling all over, even his voice trembled, subconsciously said: "No...don't stop..."

Behind him, the person restraining him asked: "Do you like me playing you like this the most?"

His face turned red all of a sudden, Gu Jingyuan didn't speak.

Big drops of tears fell down, and the shame made him just want to sink into the darkness, not wanting to speak.

But Gu Jingyuan couldn't allow herself to lie at will after all.

With a crying voice accompanied by extremely restrained and suppressed joy, the young man tremblingly said: "...I like it."

The Ninth Five-Year Lord let out a smug laugh.

Then, someone bit Gu Jingyuan's hot earlobe.
