I don't want to play anymore

On the second day, Gu Jingyuan got off the morning court and just returned home to change his clothes when a message came from the Prince Regent's Mansion asking him to come over.

When Gu Jingyuan arrived at the Prince Regent's Mansion, he was blocked by Gu Shenming before he saw the Prince Regent.

Gu Shenming is the Prince Regent's own son, and he is still alive and growing up.Now that the regent is powerful, not to mention that Gu Jingyuan's status is not as high as his, even among all the disciples of the aristocratic families in the whole capital, there is no one with a higher status than Gu Shenming.

"Young master." Gu Jingyuan greeted him politely.

Gu Shenming was a little older than him, and he had already passed the weak years, but he was still a well-known playboy in Beijing.

Not only did he do nothing, but he also did a lot of evil things in private.

Gu Jingyuan was not familiar with him.

"I heard that the emperor gave you a piece of jade with fragrance?" Gu Shenming stopped him and asked.

Immediately afterwards, he looked him up and down again, and said to himself: "Your Majesty sees that you are a literati, you are also handsome, and you can be servile and coquettish, and use that thing to humiliate you."

The eldest young master was quite burly, and his appearance was not ugly, but he was a bit vulgar and his speech was ugly.

Gu Jingyuan stood there and let him talk without answering.

He had already changed from his court clothes to a bright red dress that he usually likes, with a snow-white cloak wrapped around his waist and tied very high.Although his figure is thin, Gu Jingyuan himself is not low, and his eyesight is almost at the same level as Gu Shenming.

He stood there, there was no flattery in the peach blossom eyes, and a pair of black and white eyes stared straight back.

After a while, the silent Gu Jingyuan suddenly said, "Even if what the eldest son said is the truth, you shouldn't try to speculate on the holy will, and talk about it openly here."

"It's a joke." Gu Shenming still stared at him: "You know, this is my house. If there is anything I can't say in my own house, who dares to spread it to the outside world? I don't want to live..."

Gu Jingyuan had already said: "It's okay if the eldest son wants to humiliate me, but since you are a righteous father and son, I still have to remind you that the king is the leader of the minister, even if you don't see His Majesty in your eyes in every possible way, don't say it." , Eldest Young Master’s current words and deeds will only make you appear stupid.”

"Shut up!" Gu Shenming interrupted him harshly.

"Okay, Gu Jingyuan, you are still so eloquent. Let me tell you that you will always have a hundred words to wait for me, and protect the little emperor like this? Then do you know..." Gu Shenming said with a smirk.

He looked down, his gaze fell on Gu Jingyuan's slender waist, and he leaned closer to him, deliberately lowering his voice and saying, "Your appearance is very poor. Fuck..."

"Young master." Gu Jingyuan interrupted him again.

As articulate as he said, Gu Jingyuan said sternly: "The matter between me and Your Majesty is the intention of the adoptive father. If the eldest son has any objections, you might as well talk directly to the adoptive father."

"Gu Jingyuan." Gu Shenming made a warning voice.

However, Gu Jingyuan had already taken two steps back without a trace, opening the distance between the two of them.

"I also hope that the eldest son will respect himself."

He warned in a slightly low voice: "Father I's honorable name, don't lose it to a reckless person like you."

"Gu Jingyuan!" Gu Shenming frowned, as if he was going to reach out to grab Gu Jingyuan.

But at this time, a figure suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard, Gu Yuanjin appeared at the door, and asked with a very bad expression: "What's going on?"

"Father! It's Gu Jingyuan!" Gu Shenming saw his father for the first time, hoping that the villain would sue first: "He dared to humiliate me and defend the little emperor everywhere, obviously he was bought by the little emperor!"

"Hmph." It's a pity that Gu Yuanjin didn't believe Gu Shenming's words at all. He just stood outside the courtyard wall and heard everything.

Although Gu Jingyuan's tone was not respectful, there was nothing wrong with what he said from beginning to end.

——If it weren't for the real worry that Gu Shenming would cause trouble outside and put himself in the shoes of the Prince Regent's mansion, who would touch that bad luck to provoke the eldest son of the mansion?

But how decent and sensible Gu Jingyuan is, compared to him, Gu Shenming is so outrageous.

After all, he expected more from his own son, Gu Yuanjin saw his own son standing next to his cold and wise adoptive son, who was more outstanding and judged, his mood immediately became worse.

"You still have the face to say it." Gu Yuanjin reprimanded his son: "Listen to what you are saying! What little emperor? The emperor can make you call that? How did you tell you before you became a father!"

Gu Yuanjin stared at Gu Shenming with a pair of tiger eyes, "Father heard what you said just now, I think Ah Yuan is right about you, you are just stupid and dull! Father can't count on you at all!"

"I don't think you should go out these days, just stay at home and contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors!" After Gu Shenming was taught a lesson, Gu Yuanjin looked at Gu Jingyuan again: "Ah Yuan, follow me to the study."

"Father..." Gu Shenming wanted to defend himself, but it was a pity that Gu Yuanjin didn't look at him at all.

Even Gu Jingyuan didn't give him another look, and followed the regent to the study according to his words.

Gu Shenming stood in the courtyard angrily for a while, and didn't think clearly why he was reprimanded.

He called his servant angrily, "What's going on in the palace? I heard that that trash surnamed Dong not only failed to compete for favor, but was even beaten up by the emperor?!"

"...There is such a thing." This young man is Gu Shenming's confidant, and he and the young master discovered Mr. Dong in the Nanfeng Pavilion, so he naturally knows the young master's mind.

At this time, he reported tremblingly: "I heard that Mr. Dong verbally offended the second young master, and was bumped into by His Majesty, and rewarded with ten boards. He is still angry, and he is raising it in the house."

"This trash." Gu Shenming spat, "Bai Chang has such a face, he can't even compete with Gu Jingyuan's stupefied pet! Ask the eyeliner in the palace to see if he can do it! If he can't, why? Throw it back where to go, get out of the way as soon as possible!"

But it is said that Dong Chen went back to his house to recuperate after being punished with a stick.

His skin was thin and his flesh was tender, and it was the first time he had been tortured like this, and he passed out almost the whole time on the first day.

That's all, who would have thought that on the second day, the Empress Dowager whom he had never had the honor to meet would still want to see him!

The queen mother summoned him, so naturally it would not be the phoenix that came to his small courtyard.

Dong Chen was carried into Yong'an Palace to meet him.

For this reason, Dong Chen also hated it in his heart.

As the emperor's biological mother, the empress dowager did not object to him entering the palace, and even on the day he entered the palace, the empress dowager had an oral order from someone, saying that she wanted him to serve the emperor well, stay by his side, and be her own person.

And the Eldest Prince also sent word that the Empress Dowager has always been afraid of Gu Jingyuan, and hoped that he could enter the palace to compete for the Emperor's attention and favor...

On the one hand, he is the son of the eldest son, and on the other hand, he has the support of the queen mother. The combination of the two sides makes him so rampant.

Who would have thought...

When she was carried near Yong'an Palace, the Empress Dowager sat upright all the time.

Dong Chen suffered a hip injury, so he could only lie on his stomach and couldn't move, and he couldn't see the Queen Mother's appearance from his low gaze.

In fact, there was only a pair of delicate embroidered shoes in front of him.

He didn't dare to look at any more.

Yesterday he was beaten up by the emperor, although Dong Chen was also dissatisfied with the queen mother, but at this time it is obvious that the only person in front of him who can be his backer in the palace is this one.

So Dong Chen took the lead and cried: "The villain just met Mr. Gu by chance in the imperial garden yesterday and talked to him a few words. I didn't expect His Majesty to be so angry that he almost pulled out the villain's tongue and threw him out of the palace." ... Queen Mother, you have to decide for the villain!"

"That's fine, what are you doing to provoke Mr. Gu!" The queen mother's voice was very severe, she was not moved by his tears at all, and even sounded a little impatient.

There was a smell of incense in Yong'an Palace, I heard that the Empress Dowager eats fast and recites Buddhism all the year round, before coming here, Dong Chen still hoped that she would be a kind and loving wife.

did not expect……

Sure enough, the world is as black as crows!

Dong Chen's voice stopped abruptly, but the Empress Dowager refused to give up: "Gu Jingyuan is an important minister of the court after all, and he has made extraordinary achievements. How can you compare with him? The Ai family wanted you to serve the emperor well, but they didn't ask you to do such a stupid thing." !"

"But……"

Dong Chen struggled to make a sound, but was soon interrupted by the Queen Mother.

"You are not the only man with outstanding appearance in this world." The queen mother said quietly: "The Ai family sympathizes with the emperor and cannot bear his loneliness. If you can't do it, the Ai family can find more outstanding people to try at any time." .”

"But..." Dong Chen wanted to say but the emperor didn't summon him at all.

But he's not that stupid.

The empress dowager's indifferent attitude has made him realize the fact that she doesn't care about his own life or death at all.

She only cares about the result.

At this time, not only can't complain and cry, on the contrary, he has to say something that reflects his own value, so that he can survive in this man-eating palace!

Dong Chen was in great pain, but he still gritted his teeth and said some kind words, expressing that when he recovered from his injury, he would redouble his efforts to win the emperor's favor.

The Empress Dowager's complexion eased a little.

Even the queen mother sometimes has to attract people's hearts.

She knew that Dong Chen had hatred in her heart, so she couldn't help but said: "As for Mr. Gu, the Ai family summoned him yesterday, the emperor was afraid that the Ai family would embarrass him, so he came with him... The emperor is protecting him, and the Ai family can't say anything. This time, I have to wrong you."

Dong Chen who was lying on the ground was taken aback.

Only then did he suddenly understand, yes, all of today's events were actually caused by Gu Jingyuan...

It's all because of Master Gu...

Gu Jingyuan went directly to the palace after leaving the Prince Regent's Mansion, and Long Yanzhao was still talking with someone in the imperial study.

Gu Jingyuan didn't bother, and waited outside for a while, and carefully found that the surrounding palace people looked a little unfamiliar, as if they had changed a group of people.

After a while, Long Yanzhao finished discussing the matter with several ministers, and when he saw Gu Jingyuan, he backed away, and simply got up and took two steps.

"Did Your Majesty sleep well last night?" Gu Jingyuan asked.

Looking at Emperor Yuwen's complexion, he also looked much better than yesterday, thinking that he had already resolved the unhappiness at the Queen Mother's place yesterday.

Long Yanzhao really replied, "Very good."

Then he asked Gu Jingyuan again: "Where is Yuan?"

Gu Jingyuan smiled slightly and replied, "I also slept well."

"Really?" Long Yanzhao walked in front of him, looking past his dark eyes, "I don't think Ah Yuan seems to have slept well."

Gu Jingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched his neck, lowered his head slightly, and replied respectfully: "I did have insomnia last night... at first."

"That's also called sleeping? Why, you can't sleep without me?" Long Yanzhao laughed, and the laughter was quite rough and unrestrained, "Yesterday Muxiu just asked you to go home and rest. Why do you look worse than the day before yesterday?" To haggard."

Gu Jingyuan said: "Once my mind calms down, I tend to think about writing miscellaneous things, and then I can't fall asleep."

"Oh?" Long Yanzhao sat back and took a sip of tea, "Then what did Ah Yuan think about last night?"

Gu Jingyuan still kept his head down, and replied softly: "It's just something unimportant..."

"Come here." Emperor Yuwen raised his hand.

Gu Jingyuan respectfully walked to the edge of His Majesty's throne.

With a pull, Long Yanzhao directly pulled Gu Jingyuan onto his lap.

Gu Jingyuan's cloak had already been handed over to Eunuch Hong when he entered the door, and his slender waist became more conspicuous.

The Ninth Five-Year Lord stretched his arms and clasped Gu Jingyuan in his arms, wrapped his arms around his waist, and bit his ear: "Sleep with me tonight."

Itchy ears.

Gu Jingyuan pursed the corners of her lips and endured, and answered with lowered eyes, "Yes."

When sleeping with His Majesty, I really don't think too much.

I can't think too much about it.

"That Gu Shenming harassed you again today?" Emperor Yuwen asked again.

Gu Jingyuan never took this kind of thing to heart, he said: "It's okay."

Long Yanzhao sneered, "It's a pity that the regent was smart all his life, and ended up raising such a useless son. I hope you don't worry, I will deal with him sooner or later, and vent my anger on you."

Regarding this, Gu Jingyuan had no doubts at all.

From the time he spoke with the Prince Regent to the time he entered the palace, it took only an hour. His Majesty already knew about the conflict he had with Gu Shenming at the Palace of the Regent today...

It can be seen that His Majesty's power is growing day by day, and he is no longer the young emperor who was slaughtered by others a few years ago.

In fact, what Gu Jingyuan reminded Gu Shenming just now came from the bottom of his heart.

If you don't talk in your own home, His Majesty won't hear you.

As early as the day he ascended the throne, the emperor had secretly trained dozens of dark guards who lurked in the dark and were only dispatched by him.

Those shadow guards would wear masks when performing tasks. Some were good at hiding, and some had another identity on the surface. Few people knew of their existence so far...

It's a pity that Gu Shenming was spoiled by his father, he was indeed extremely dull.

Gu Jingyuan said: "Although the eldest son is mediocre and domineering, he is also the only son valued by the regent, and he is also Nan Chengbo's son-in-law... Is your majesty planning to move him?"

"Heh." Emperor Yuwen lowered his head to look at Gu Jingyuan's red ear from being teased.

"Then wish to guess, what do I plan to do next?"

Gu Jingyuan's eyelids drooped slightly: "I dare not speculate on the holy will."

"You." Long Yanzhao touched Gu Jingyuan's face with a light smile, and sighed: "Ah Yuan knows everything, and understands everything, but he just doesn't say anything. Sometimes I don't know whether to say you are smart or too smart." clever."

Gu Jingyuan still lowered his head and didn't move. He silently accepted the emperor's compliment and said, "That's because your majesty is smarter than the minister, so you don't need me to advise your majesty. As long as your majesty needs it, the minister It's good here."

Long Yanzhao said: "I know what Ah Yuan is thinking. You want to watch me from the sidelines. If I do the right thing, you will keep silent. If I do the wrong thing, you will come out to clean up the mess for me and rescue me."

Emperor Yuwen sincerely sighed: "If I hadn't met Ah Yuan, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Maybe this country would change hands."

Gu Jingyuan's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He retorted softly but quickly: "The minister and His Majesty have only known each other for three years. Your Majesty is serious. Even if Your Majesty does not have a minister..."

"Gu Jingyuan."

Gu Jingyuan's voice was interrupted.

Generally speaking, when the emperor called him by his name, it was because he made a mistake, which made Long Yan furious.

But this time His Majesty was amused by his serious appearance.

Long Yanzhao continued to bite his ear.

"Why are you humble? I said that you taught me a lot, and that's what you taught me. Sometimes I often think, if Ah Yuan hadn't appeared in front of me three years ago, I wouldn't have named you Jin Ke Champion, I didn't roll out of the dragon bed with you later, so what will happen to me now..."

"His Majesty……"

Not only did Gu Jingyuan's ears turn red this time.

As far as Emperor Yuwen could see, his entire face was blushing.

Like the rosy sunset under the setting sun, with a hint of spring, Gu Jingyuan's skin became slightly hot.

Long Yanzhao's gaze sank, and the color of his pupils seemed to darken.

If it weren't for the daytime, to be a good emperor who is in charge of the government, he would not be able to announce Yin in the daytime. He really wanted to pull Gu Jingyuan to roll on the dragon bed right now.

But even though it is not easy to go back to the dragon bed, but fortunately, with the person in his arms, Long Yanzhao can actually do many things...

After a long time, the charming sound subsided, and Gu Jingyuan's cold voice sounded again.

"It's just about the Eldest Young Master. Your Majesty still needs to wait for the opportunity. Don't be impulsive."

Not only did it replace the ambiguous voice that filled the room before, but it was also mixed with a little exhortation and worry.

Long Yanzhao looked over and met Gu Jingyuan's bright and charming eyes, and couldn't help being stunned.

Gu Jingyuan's eyes are always sparkling and colorful, as if gathering stars all over the sky.

very nice.

It's good to see that sometimes just by taking a look at it, it's like being in a muddy pond, and it's hard to extricate yourself.

He even ignored the long scar on his brow bone.

……

Long Yanzhao couldn't help it, and lightly pecked at those bright eyes.

To many he was emperor.

It's just their emperor.

But Gu Jingyuan is different.

Gu Jingyuan would worry about him.

Gu Jingyuan dared to tell him in such a tone...

"I know."

Long Yanzhao smiled and kissed him.
