I don't want to play anymore

"As long as Ah Yuan likes it." Long Yanzhao said.

He has never had the desire to speak, and he hasn't eaten this kind of food for a long time, and he feels that maybe he is just not used to the taste.

So Gu Jing wished to eat candied haws.

He eats Gu Jingyuan.

perfect.

The emperor didn't take this episode to heart.

There is a deep smile in the bottom of the eyes, and the emperor's eyes are full of Gu Jingyuan at this moment.I just think Ah Yuan who is holding candied haws in a daze is a bit too cute.

Not the cuteness of a child, Gu Jingyuan's demeanor is cold and refined, how can he be like a child.

The emperor is just...

I don't know what words to use to describe his wish.

There is also the feeling that the heartstrings can't be tapped, and I don't know how to express it at all.

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

The carriage staggered back to the palace, and the chariot came all the way to the emperor's bedroom.

It was already afternoon when we entered the city.

The emperor ordered the soldiers and horses of all parties to go back to rest first, and they will discuss meritorious deeds and rewards tomorrow morning, so there is no major event today, the only thing to do is to go back to each house and rectify and rest.

Gu Jingyuan's yard is still kept by Long Yanzhao, but strictly speaking, it is not his home.

And his purpose of returning to the capital this time is still very clear.

— just for one person.

So naturally, he and Long Yanzhao went back to the emperor's study to settle down.

In the study, Eunuch Hong came up with a group of palace people, and warmly welcomed the emperor and Mr. Gu back to the palace.

Long Yanzhao also left Beijing for a long time, and the palace attendants around him changed several batches back and forth, but the familiar ones were still there.

Looking at the well-groomed bedroom, which remained unchanged inside and out, and the handsome young man beside him... The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

—— Now it is the most perfect ending.

But at this moment, just as he was holding Gu Jingyuan's hand and walking around to the back of the bedroom, the Empress Dowager of Yong'an Palace suddenly sent someone over to invite the emperor over.

After returning to the palace, in terms of filial piety, it is indeed necessary to visit the queen mother first.

Long Yanzhao had no objection, and he did not let go of Gu Jingyuan's hand.

"It's just right, Ah Yuan will go with me."

"Report to the emperor." This time, in order to invite the emperor to come over, the empress dowager sent the most considerate and longest-serving maids around her.

The old palace man was respectful, but also said very seriously: "The queen mother has been thinking about the emperor for more than a year, and now she just wants to have a good talk with the emperor.

It might be inconvenient if Mr. Gu goes with you. "

"Oh?" Long Yanzhao raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

He heard it.

The queen mother is angry that he left for more than a year and didn't come back halfway.

And halfway through, she didn't make an order, and recalled King Hao, who she missed most, back to Beijing.

The good mood of going home was immediately affected, and the corners of the emperor's lips were slightly lowered: "That's good."

"I just happen to have something to talk to the queen mother."

The emperor's voice was deep and cold.

But at least it was agreed.

The palace man saluted respectfully, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Hearing that Mrs. Gu also drove back to Beijing, the Queen Mother wanted to say a few words of "considering herself" to the emperor, but she didn't want outsiders to get involved... That's why she was asked to come here, mainly to emphasize to the emperor , just ask him to go there alone.

Although this palace attendant is an old man next to the Queen Mother, she has seen all kinds of storms, but the emperor has undoubtedly changed a lot in the past year, and she can't guarantee that she can successfully fulfill the Queen Mother's entrustment.

Whether it was the grand opening in Beijing and the central government to clean up the nobles of the family, or the various good news that came back from Beibei from time to time... all of them have changed His Majesty's inherent concepts in the hearts of others little by little.

——The emperor is no longer that child who can be manipulated by others.

It was precisely because of this change that the queen mother sent her here on purpose.

Now she has successfully completed the task.

The palace servant just relaxed a little, and when he was about to get up after the salute, he saw the emperor, who had been so indifferent and prey before, suddenly turned around again, and said to Mr. Gu beside him in a kind and gentle voice: "Then A Yuan Go to the back and rest for a while, I will be back right away after I go to see my mother."

The empress dowager: "..."

... It's been more than a year, but Mr. Gu doesn't seem to have changed at first glance.

Still the same thin, tall figure and handsome appearance.

But if you look closely, it seems that everything is different.

Careful identification, probably his eyes...

In the past, Mr. Gu was famous for his low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

Most of the time he walked in this palace with his head down.

Even so, the sense of presence cannot be ignored at all.

Not to mention now...

Now that Xinchang's neck is straight, Mr. Gu not only dares to look directly at the emperor, but also frowns slightly...

Those watery eyes, the tails of the eyes are red and affectionate, even frowning is shockingly beautiful, and if caught off guard, it will make people's hearts hurt.

No wonder……

old man in the palace

I sighed in my heart, no wonder, the emperor finally fell into the hands of this little Mr. Gu.

Gee.

……

Having no time to pay attention to what the palace man was thinking, Gu Jingyuan frowned and called out: "Your Majesty..."

He always felt that they had just returned to the palace, and the Empress Dowager sent someone over at this moment... The timing was a bit strange.

It's unreasonably frustrating.

Long Yanzhao comforted him and said, "It's okay, trust me, I will come back as soon as I go."

"..."

Gu Jingyuan shut his mouth tightly.

The palace servants of Yong'an Palace were still standing aside, he couldn't say anything, Gu Jingyuan could only nod his head in agreement.

In fact, how could Long Yanzhao not know that the Queen Mother is not a good person.

It's just that returning to the palace also has a battle to face when returning to the palace.

——If he wants to find a place for his beloved, he must face it bravely.

Long Yanzhao looked at Gu Jingyuan with great reluctance, then turned around and went to the Empress Dowager's Yong'an Palace together with the palace people.

After the emperor left, the bedroom, which was clean and warm just now, suddenly lost a lot of warmth.

Gu Jingyuan stood there for a while, suddenly felt dizzy, and was quickly helped by Eunuch Hong to sit down.

Eunuch Hong's appearance didn't change much either. The emperor went to the battlefield to kill the enemy without a single attendant by his side, so Eunuch Hong stayed here all the time.

Nothing happened, no one dared to provoke her, and life was going well.

It's just that after a long time, he will inevitably miss his master. He helped Gu Jingyuan to sit down, and ordered someone to serve Mr. Gu with good ginseng tea - Mr. Gu is afraid of the cold, and the emperor will usually order them to prepare hot tea for Mr. Gu in winter. Eunuch Hong still remembers this.

The ginseng tea was specially prepared by him for Mr. Gu.

But this retrospective vision did not drink.

He thanked him, and then asked Eunuch Hong: "Is there any water? Plain water will do."

The appearance is reserved, a little embarrassed.

Not only because of the kindness that Eunuch Hong deliberately prepared, but also because of...

"...Yes, yes!" Eunuch Hong didn't have the intention of being disappointed, he only thought that Mr. Gu's taste had changed after he came back, and trotted out to get someone to get water.

There was no one in the hall, Gu Jingyuan stayed where he was, stared at it for a while, and finally said in a voice that only he could hear, "It will be fine."

...In fact, it is expected that nothing will happen.

Gu Jingyuan pursed her lips.

But he couldn't make up his mind.

It seems that many years ago, there was a time like this...

Thinking of this, Gu Jingyuan suddenly stood up again.

His clothes were shaking, and he couldn't even wait to drink the water, so he walked out.

"Master Gu? Don't you take a break? Where are you going?" Eunuch Hong who came back from carrying the water called out in confusion.

Gu Jingyuan shook his head.

After leaving the emperor's bedroom, he didn't go to the Empress Dowager's Yong'an Palace, but directly found the imperial army.

In the Yong'an Palace, the mother and child who had been separated for more than a year were farewell, and they were still born as before.

... Or rather, the relationship seems to be more rigid.

The Empress Dowager was still sitting on the seat, with a graceful and luxurious demeanor, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand.

One by one, the beads passed through her well-maintained fingertips. The queen mother didn't look at Long Yanzhao much, and only said: "The emperor is back."

Long Yanzhao was also expressionless: "Yes, Queen Mother, I'm back."

"You brought Mr. Gu back?" The queen mother asked again, before the emperor could speak, she said again: "I didn't expect the emperor to be so affectionate."

"..."

Long Yanzhao's breathing was stagnant.

After more than a year, the smell of incense in Yong'an Palace seems to be heavier again.

He carefully looked at his empress, who was very well-mannered and spoke even more strangely, and he was sure that there was not much left in a good mood since he stepped here.

The Queen Mother always had a way of making him unhappy.

This is his mother.

Suddenly, the emperor smiled.

The laughter was heroic and quite uninhibited, but it also implied a little ridicule.

But it wasn't the Queen Mother he was laughing at, but himself.

It covers all the mockery of the former self, who desperately wanted to please the queen mother.

The queen mother hated him, he had always known it.

But he used to always think that maybe what the queen mother wanted was power, and the queen mother hated him because he failed to bring her what she wanted.

That's why he worked so hard at the beginning.

He always wants to do his best, go to the highest place, until the queen mother can see him...

But even if the Gu family was defeated, the queen mother still didn't smile at him.

Even later, he defeated all the nobles and nobles of the family, defeated Beirong, became the real overlord, and was destined to leave a touch of glory in the history books. The queen mother never even smiled at him.

...Actually, I should have woken up long ago.

Although he has already seen it clearly.

——He made all the follow-up arrangements and preparations before the expedition, and he almost emptied all the rights that the Queen Mother and King Hao could use.

But Long Yanzhao still had a little hope in his heart, hoping that when he came back this time, the way his mother looked at him would change and become different.

...Although, it is indeed different.

Queen Mother is

Obviously, because of the fact that his rights were emptied, he hated him even more.

After laughing, Long Yanzhao quickly calmed down.

That's what happens when expectations fail.

He didn't come here for the smile of his mother.

The emperor's face was tense, and he didn't want to talk to the queen mother anymore. He just said in an informative tone: "Xiangyanghou not only returned to the palace with me, but from now on, day and night, day and night, life after life, he will be with me forever .”

He was serious when he said this.

But to the Queen Mother, it was like a breeze.

In other words, she didn't care at all who the emperor would live with.

So she said: "The emperor has grown up, and the queen mother has no objection to whoever you want to be with, but Gu Jingyuan can't."

The Empress Dowager also laughed, her voice was faint, revealing a lightness of revenge: "How can a body of extreme Yin enter the harem of the Dayi Dynasty? It is unacceptable for the world to spread this matter. Your Majesty, Aijia I advise you to think carefully about it."

The author has something to say: Don’t mess with things, don’t mess with things, the queen mother will solve it soon, I will continue to write, and strive for an early update, okay?_(:з」∠)_
