I don't want to play anymore

After all, it was the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, no matter how angry and bored Long Yanzhao was, he could only stop there, and could not really do anything for Qi Huaibo.

He ordered people to help Qi Huaibo back to his position, then waved his hands to make the two well-carved youths step back, directly skipped the topic, and said, "Who will be the next one?"

The emperor's anger came and went quickly, although the officials felt puzzled, they just kept watching the show.Now that the two youths from the Tianyin tribe had been taken away, the topic was automatically passed away, and another nobleman went up to Jinbao.

The heroic young emperor picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of the wine. His appearance was quite bold and unrestrained, and the ministers who supported him couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Although the emperor has not been easy these years, he is not the one who can only be ruled by others. Little boy.

It's just between him and Mr. Gu...

The emperor has the means and ability to act vigorously and break the rules, dare to challenge the nobles, maybe he can really rectify the arrogance and lust of the current aristocratic families in Dayijing.

But if such an emperor is really addicted to masculinity...

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Mr. Gu.

Apart from being a man, he is decent and low-key, he never abuses his power for personal gain and commits fraud, and his conduct is unmistakable.

But it happened that his adoptive father...

After all, the noble children in Beijing are nothing compared to the regent who has monopolized power and divided up the people's fat and people's anointing these years.

The ministers were worried about this, and began to worry about Mr. Gu's behavior again.

But Prime Minister You and the emperor, who knew Gu Jingyuan's intentions well, didn't take it seriously at all.

Especially Long Yanzhao, he knows that many people are misunderstanding Gu Jingyuan now.

But it's okay.

When the old thing Gu Yuanjin is dealt with in the future, he will naturally return Ah Yuan's innocence, not only will he not be criticized by others, but he will also be famous in history.

The next honorable person presented an exquisite jade. Long Yanzhao was not very interested in these. Instead of looking at the jade, he went to see Gu Jingyuan who was far away from him.

Gu Jingyuan's face has softened a lot now, and he is even talking and laughing with the people around him.

Long Yanzhao looked at Gu Jingyuan quite relievedly, and couldn't help but feel better... He just thought that as long as the two beautiful boys in red go down quickly, Ah Yuan's mood would get better again.

The dinner party ended a little late.

Long Yanzhao wanted to send the Empress Dowager back to the palace first, while Gu Jingyuan received a notice from the emperor early in the morning, saying that he was not allowed to leave the palace after the banquet, and asked him to go back to the palace to wait for him.

He cannot disobey.

Even though he hadn't been home for several days since he fell ill last time and was sent to the palace to recuperate.

The ministers and noble families left the palace and took the same path.

Gu Jingyuan had to go another way back to His Majesty's bedroom.

The palace was still brightly lit, Gu Jingyuan walked around the corridor to the front of an arch bridge, and saw King Hao's wheelchair parked under the bridge, and several palace people stood beside him in twos and threes, and King Hao himself stood on the bridge with his hands on the railing , Standing alone.

Gu Jingyuan paused, not wanting to disturb her, but wanted to change direction before walking.

However, King Hao saw him as soon as he appeared, and turned his head to call him: "Lord Gu."

Gu Jingyuan saluted him: "His Royal Highness King Hao."

Some smiles appeared on King Hao's pale face, the palace people pushed the wheelchair onto the bridge, King Hao sat on it, was pushed off the bridge again, and came directly to Gu Jingyuan.

He looked at the frozen lake and couldn't help feeling: "Last year when I returned to the palace, what I saw was such a disastrous scene. The year before last was also the same. It's been a long, long time. This king almost forgot what the scene of the pond full of lotus fragrance is." Looks good."

When he was talking, Gu Jingyuan just stood with lowered eyes and didn't speak.

All the officials felt that Master Gu was aloof and didn't like to have close friendships with others. It was because Gu Jingyuan really seldom spoke to others except for government affairs.

Faced with people who are inexplicably emotional with his life, they will naturally not strike up a conversation.

But it is also such a person, he will listen quietly when you talk, if you are willing to spend energy and observe carefully, you will find that Wen Quxing is listening.

He is not arrogant.

He respects everyone who talks to him.

He just doesn't necessarily respond.

Because in this palace, he seems to have no desires.

I don't ask for anything, so I never painstakingly manage contacts, and never flatter and flatter.

Not pleasing anyone, not taking the initiative to approach anyone, a clear and bright character, this is Mr. Gu's character.

King Hao couldn't help but look at Master Gu's eyebrows.

The red mark on his brow bone is still very prominent.

But it is such a person who carefully assists the emperor all the time...

That day when King Hao just returned to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty, he knew that Gu Jingyuan was also in the palace.

In fact, for so many days, Mr. Gu has been living at the emperor's side, accompanying him around.

Looking at Gu Jingyuan who was silent at the moment, Long Yunqi suddenly wanted to know what Master Gu looked like in front of the emperor.

Do they have a lot to say?

Will Mr. Gu laugh at Brother Si?

Still, when he feels lost and frustrated, he will open his mouth to comfort him...

Long Yunqi clenched the armrest of the wheelchair.

Can't help but start to think again, if the supreme position is his own, can he also own the person on the cloud?

……

Even though the thoughts in his heart began to become extreme, Wang Hao still tried his best to appear calm on the face.

In fact, no one knew what he was thinking about Gu Jingyuan.

Even the queen mother doesn't know.

But who wouldn't like Master Gu?

The number one winner on the gold list, their most suitable Wenqu stars, high-spirited and bright, with peerless elegance...

It's just that such a person, why did he end up with Long Yanzhao...

When he returned to the palace last year, there were no such messy rumors in the palace.

This year, everyone is acquiescing, and some people have even begun to think that Mr. Gu will become the emperor's harem.

Even if Gu Jingyuan is the regent's man.

He might not really like Long Yanzhao.

It's just that they have been together for such a long time...

Thinking of this, Long Yunqi's eyes became darker.

Although he and Long Yanzhao were not similar in appearance, their demeanor followed that of the late late Emperor. Sometimes his emotions would be reflected in his eyes, the worse the mood, the darker and darker his eyes would be.

Long Yunqi couldn't help but said: "At today's banquet, does Mr. Gu know why my brother is so angry with Qi Huaibo?"

Gu Jingyuan's eyelashes trembled, but he remained silent.

Long Yunqi said: "Because the emperor's life is hard, and he punishes his relatives. The unknown body of extreme yin is just a legend. No one knows whether it is auspicious or not. But the emperor is really..."

Speaking of this, King Hao looked down at his legs, and showed a self-deprecating and jealous smile.

If he was not born with a disability, how could he not even be qualified to fight for the throne?

And if it wasn't for Long Yanzhao, how could he...

"Your Highness." Gu Jingyuan finally spoke out in the silent deep palace courtyard.

His voice was a little cold, but very nice, deep but not hoarse, like a shallow, deafening singing in this frosty, dewy night.

Gu Jingyuan said slowly: "Although Your Highness has a natural illness, it is only half of one leg that is not flexible."

Hearing the sound, King Hao looked up at him in confusion: "Master Gu, you...?"

Gu Jingyuan said sincerely: "Although the wheelchair is convenient, His Highness can still try to move around on his own. This can promote blood circulation and muscle growth. Even if he still cannot walk freely in the future, it is all exercise."

"...Master Gu." King Hao's expression suddenly changed a lot.

Just like no one can mention the matter of the emperor ordering Gu Xing to commit suicide, even though King Hao's leg disease is obvious to all, it must never be mentioned in person.

Long Yunqi asked excitedly: "So Mr. Gu is... looking down on me?!"

Gu Jingyuan bowed respectfully, "I have no such intention."

"Enough!" King Hao clenched the armrest of the wheelchair again with excitement, his eyes shaking violently.

Gu Jingyuan didn't speak, and didn't explain at all, as if he was letting King Hao deal with him.

But at this moment, a group of people walked by behind Gu Jingyuan. Among them, the person in the front was tall and slender, dressed in bright yellow, walking towards this side with big strides.

"I just said, who is still staying in the garden at this late hour, it turns out to be Fifth Brother and Master Gu."

When the emperor came, Long Yunqi restrained his thoughts forcibly, and saluted him together with Gu Jingyuan.

"Pingshen." Long Yanzhao said, but walked directly to Gu Jingyuan's side and stood beside him.

He is tall and burly, standing there without getting angry and majestic, he looks like an emperor.

He said: "It's so late, I still have something to discuss with Master Gu, King Hao should go back and rest soon."

Long Yunqi just mentioned that the emperor is the nemesis, so naturally he couldn't talk about the conflict with Gu Jingyuan just now in front of him, so he just nodded in agreement, "Then the younger brother will retire first."

"En." Long Yanzhao also nodded.

The palace people behind King Hao automatically pushed the wheelchair and walked towards the other courtyard.

At the same time, Long Yanzhao had already put his arms around Gu Jingyuan's narrow waist.

The public is so shameless, the emperor is probably No.1.

But he has thick skin.

Especially knowing that Long Yunqi saw him cuddling Ah Yuan, that kind of comfort...not to mention how comfortable it is.

When King Hao and his party walked away, the Ninth Five-Year Venerable even laughed outright.

Like a child, his face was full of joy and anger, Long Yanzhao pulled Gu Jingyuan into his arms with a strong arm.

The eunuchs and maids who followed him were all accustomed to watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, and they scattered a little.

Gu Jingyuan was not used to this at all, and said to Long Yanzhao with a flushed face, "Your Majesty, let's go back quickly."

"Is Ah Yuan cold?" Long Yanzhao touched his cold hands, couldn't help but clenched both of his hands tightly into his palms, and said in a bad tone: "If you don't know if it's cold, go back quickly, and come back with me." What is he whining about here?"

The ninth five-year-old is in good health and has strong firepower, and his palms are still hot to hot in the middle of winter.

It also saves the use of hand stoves.

Gu Jingyuan let him cover his hands, noncommittal.

But Long Yanzhao refused to give up. He was already jealous of people getting close to Gu Jingyuan, let alone someone he hated, so he couldn't help but said, "What did King Hao tell you? Is it Gu Ying who is talking about himself? How dare he Kill you?"

Gu Jingyuan was slightly amused by his appearance, and said: "It's nothing, King Hao is sitting in a wheelchair all day, and he is naturally in a bad mood because of his limited mobility. I just persuade him to get up and move around more."

"Just him?" The Ninth Five-Year Lord dismissed him, "He always thinks that I beat him, and he still counts on me for his lameness. As long as I am alive, he will not be in a good mood. Okay, so don't try to persuade. God help the self-help man, he is really ridiculous."

Gu Jingyuan raised his eyelids slightly when he heard the words, looked up at Long Yanzhao, and then affirmed his statement: "The theory of fate is indeed ridiculous."

"Ayuan... don't move."

Long Yanzhao suddenly called him.

"Huh?" Gu Jingyuan blinked in confusion, but did not move.

The emperor stretched out a hand, lifted his chin slightly, and looked at his face carefully.

Gu Jingyuan was even more puzzled, but he just stood there and let him look at him.

Previously, Long Yanzhao was covering his hands with two hands, but now he took one away, and Gu Jingyuan's hands were pressed on his chest by the Ninth Five Lord.

So much so that he could feel the strong beating of the heart inside the emperor's chest.

After staring at each other for a while, Long Yanzhao said with some doubts: "Strange..."

"His Majesty?"

"It's the way Ah Yuan looked at me just now... I don't seem to have seen your eyes like that before."

"...What?" Gu Jingyuan seemed a little confused as if he didn't understand.

"It's nothing..." Long Yanzhao murmured, still observing.

When Gu Jingyuan was in front of him, most of the time his eyelids were half drooped, and he smiled subtly.

He likes his little obedient and humble appearance.

But sometimes Mr. Gu would look up at him, his pupils were clear, black and white, Long Yanzhao had seen it before, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.

It's just that just now... Gu Jingyuan seemed to look at him differently than before.

It seems brighter.

There are praises, longings, and many, many flying emotions in it.

In short, when a man is looked at by that kind of gaze, he will subconsciously straighten his back and hold his head high.

Although he only felt that way for a brief moment, Long Yanzhao was still a little excited.

He brought Gu Jingyuan back to the bedroom.

Master Gu has been ill for the past few days, and the emperor liked kissing him again, so he just kissed and did nothing else.

But today... Mr. Gu's body has recovered completely.

Both of them actually thought about it a little bit.

Last year on the Empress Dowager's birthday, Long Yanzhao also drank a lot of wine to vent on Gu Jingyuan because the Empress Dowager's eyes were never on him.

But this year he only drank a few glasses of wine, and his bad mood was not as strong as in previous years.

The only thing that remained the same was that he still couldn't help but wanted to mess with Gu Jingyuan.

I want to hear him groan for himself, because he is choked up.

I want to deeply carve marks on him, I want to hold this person tightly...

After several days of not doing it, Gu Jingyuan is not used to it.

The body couldn't bear it, and in the end, he could only lie upside down, leaning against the emperor's arms, and let others manipulate him.

After everything was over, Gu Jingyuan lay on the Ninth Five Lord's body, unable to move at all.

Long Yanzhao stroked his smooth back with his big hand, thought of something, and suddenly smiled.

"Your Majesty?" Gu Jingyuan asked him what's wrong.

"It's nothing, I just thought of my mother, and that son of King Hao."

Just now when he sent the empress dowager back to the palace, the sound of children crying at night made him realize that the empress dowager had already taken King Hao's son-in-law into her palace and brought him up personally.

"Do you think the queen mother hates me like crazy, and she will ban me when the child grows up a bit."

The tone of the emperor's words sounded very relaxed, as if he was joking.

Although it was true that Long Yanzhao was not in a good mood when he left Yong'an Hall.

But he heard the two words that Gu Jingyuan said to Long Yunqi just now, thinking that Ah Yuan's gentle temper would actually offend someone for him, Long Yanzhao's good mood overflowed, and he couldn't accept it any longer. Can't stop.

So much so that when mentioning the past, the emperor's attitude became much more relaxed.

It's not that the queen mother doesn't love him.

But hate him.

Long Yanzhao knew it all along.

During the days when he was in the northern palace, there were no more than two or three people in the house to serve him.It was all arranged by the queen mother to take care of him.

The woman in charge was once the personal maid beside the queen mother.

She knew everything about the empress, so she often mentioned to him how much the empress had been wronged and suffered because of his evil star.

Long Yanzhao doesn't like to hear people say the word evil star.

So I don't like to hear this either.

But he was only seven years old when he was sent out of the palace, and he didn't have much memory of the entire court, including his mother who rarely appeared by his side during childhood.

All the impressions of the mother-in-law were obtained from inquiries from the mother-in-law in charge and later imagined by myself.

The woman in charge has a bad temper, and she treats him even worse.

Being a prince is noble, but being a prince who is feared and hated by his father is much more miserable.

In many cases, even the children of ordinary peasants can't compare.

Perhaps it was because those days were too depressing, so even though his impression of his mother was extremely weak, Long Yanzhao subconsciously pinned all his hopes on his mother.

The imaginary mother could take him back to the palace one day.

Pretending to be treated like this, the queen mother doesn't know that everything is done by the woman in charge.

The number of fantasies and assumptions is too many, as if it is the real thing.

So even though those years were hard, Long Yanzhao still survived.

The brothers who stayed ahead of me passed away one after another due to various reasons.

After the death of his father, he somehow became Emperor Yuwen.

"Isn't life wonderful?" Long Yanzhao said with a light smile.

The smile didn't reach his eyes.

Instead, it was an extremely self-deprecating smile.

——It was just that he survived to the end, and when he returned to the palace, his initial spiritual sustenance was shattered and all shattered into foam.

The queen mother does not love him.

She even really felt that he was the one who harmed her, as the woman in charge said.

No matter how good Long Yanzhao is at deceiving himself, he has to admit the fact that the Queen Mother hates him.

"I remember that year when my father passed away." Long Yanzhao spoke again, and his voice became a little drawn out.

"I was just picked up from the Northland. Not long after I became the throne, there was a maid beside me called... what was it, I can't even remember it. I just remembered that when I looked at her a few more times, the queen mother got angry and said she was charming. Master, I want to take her skin off."

Gu Jingyuan lowered his eyelashes: "Then what happened after that?"

"Later, I begged my mother not to kill her, and knelt in the imperial garden for a day and a night. The queen smiled and said that I was indecisive, but she also agreed not to kill her, but was expelled from the palace."

Gu Jingyuan responded softly, indicating that he was listening.

"My mother wants to use that incident to teach me not to look at women, so that I can remember. What indulges me in liking men, can you imagine? My mother wants me to have no future."

As if thinking of something worse, the emperor paused subconsciously with his lingering fingers on his body.

Long Yanzhao said: "What's more... If it weren't for my destiny, I'm afraid I would have gone west of Hexi in the first two years of my enthronement."

Gu Jingyuan blinked while listening, and said, "I can imagine that your Majesty's life must have been very difficult in those two years."

Long Yanzhao didn't go into detail about what happened to him in those two years, and Gu Jingyuan didn't ask either.

The things of the past are all in the past.Lord Gu just said: "It will get better soon, Your Majesty will have his own heir."

When the emperor heard the words, he let out a chuckle: "Will you give birth to me?"

Gu Jingyuan: "..."

The body tensed up a little.

Until Long Yanzhao said again: "Today, the two young men that Uncle Qi Huai looked for were ridiculous. What kind of anode blood is red, isn't it all red for normal people? It's ashamed to say that they are from Tianyin... then how can they be?" Isn’t it true that anyone who looks a little more handsome and has no bones can be said to be auspicious, and I am a fool? They are really crazy!”

Gu Jingyuan didn't expect him to think like this... The corners of his lips curled up a bit, and he couldn't help saying: "The emperor's thinking... is really strange, and I didn't even think that there could be such a thing as a counterfeit."

"Isn't this obvious?" Long Yanzhao didn't care.

The atmosphere inadvertently became more active, as if he had thought of something interesting, and the Ninth Five Lord was even interested.

He assumed: "It would be great if I could really give birth. If it is a boy, then I will be the crown prince. If it is a girl, I will teach her to ride horses and shoot. Of course, it depends on what she likes... Well, I suddenly understand that Uncle Yan I'm thinking about raising my daughter..."

Gu Jingyuan seemed to be asleep.

Emperor Ren imagined wildly, but there was no response.

Gu Daren was expected to be exhausted, Long Yanzhao didn't bother him, hugged him in his arms, and fell asleep peacefully.
