This question lingered in Li Jinyu's mind, which made him feel a little tasteless when eating.

It was Changkang who asked, "Your Majesty, where is this cat?" before calling back his spirit.

Li Jinyu began to think about how to tell Huo Caiyu that he had a black cat.

It's just that he was too afraid of cats before, but now he suddenly wants to raise a cat. Huo Caiyu doesn't think he's a little smart, does he?

He walked forward absently holding the cage of glutinous rice balls, while Chang Kang held the cage containing the black cat in his hand.

"Where is the Regent?"

Chang Kang was used to His Majesty and the Prince Regent sticking together all day long, so he replied: "Your Majesty, the Prince Regent had dinner in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and he is still handling official business there."

"I'm going to find him."

Arriving at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, before entering the door, Li Jinyu heard a conversation coming from inside.

"What are you going to do?"

"What I can do is entirely up to the Regent."

Li Jinyu heard that the voice behind him was Chi Zhongming.It's just that compared to the cheerfulness before, Chi Zhongming's voice is now hoarse and unpleasant, and there is a sense of resentment.

He turned his head to look at the little black cat in the cage, and sure enough, he saw the black cat scratching its ears uncomfortably with its hind feet.

After stepping over the gate of the hall, Chi Zhongming, who hadn't seen anyone for half a month, came into Li Jinyu's eyes.

In the past, Chi Zhongming's clothes were always clean, his hair was combed neatly, and he liked to shake a folding fan to laugh and curse;

Now Chi Zhongming was still wearing the clothes he wore half a month ago, the blood on the skirts of his clothes had dried up and turned dark red, his hair was messy, his beard was uneven, and his eyes were a little loose.

It's a world of difference from before.

Li Jinyu felt distressed for no reason.

Huo Caiyu raised his head and noticed Li Jinyu coming, and frowned slightly: "Why is Your Majesty here?"

He took a step forward, standing between Chi Zhongming and Li Jinyu calmly, to prevent Chi Zhongming from being suddenly agitated and hurting others.

Li Jinyu put the glutinous rice balls on the table, knowingly asked: "What are you doing?"

Huo Caiyu pursed his lips: "Chi Zhongming wants to resign and return to his hometown, but the minister is persuading him."

Li Jinyu took a closer look at Chi Zhongming, and found that there was no fluctuation on his face, just like an empty shell, and his soul flew to nowhere.

This is really a difficult problem.

Li Jinyu scratched his ears, and looked at Huo Caiyu worriedly.

At this time, Chang Kang held the cat cage and placed it next to the glutinous rice balls.I don't know if the shaking made the black cat uncomfortable, the black cat suddenly "meowed".

Chi Zhongming seemed to be called back to his soul by this call, he raised his head in a daze, and stared straight at the direction where the meow came from.

Seeing the little black cat in the cage, Chi Zhongming was obviously taken aback, his eyes gradually changed from numbness to disbelief, and finally into ecstasy.

He subconsciously took two steps forward, and was stopped by Huo Caiyu.

Huo Caiyu frowned, watched Chi Zhongming walk towards His Majesty, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

Chi Zhongming woke up like a dream, knowing that he could not beat Huo Caiyu in strength, gritted his teeth, and looked up at Li Jinyu: "Your Majesty, this cat..."

Li Jinyu noticed Chi Zhongming's change of expression, and glanced at the little black cat out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, seeing the little black cat was a bit uncomfortable.

An idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

Li Jinyu hurriedly interrupted Chi Zhongming before he finished speaking: "Isn't this cat cute?"

Chi Zhongming was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "Yes."

Li Jinyu looked up at Huo Caiyu, blinked: "I want to keep him."

Huo Caiyu didn't know why, why His Majesty, who used to be extremely afraid of black cats, suddenly found a kitten to raise.But in front of other people, he naturally wouldn't give up on His Majesty, and said along the way: "As long as Your Majesty likes it."

"It's just that I'm still a little afraid of cats, and I don't dare to get close... But such a big cat needs someone to caress it from time to time to grow well." Li Jinyu poked the cat's cage with some distress, "I plan to hire a cat royal official, a full-time Does the Regent think it's good to raise a cat for me?"

Before the regent could answer, Chi Zhongming, who was below, took a step forward and said, "I... I can share your majesty's worries!"

"You?" Li Jinyu looked up and down in disgust, and covered his nose, "My cat has a cleanliness."

Chi Zhongming stopped in embarrassment, and patted his clothes with both hands in a daze: "I'm going back to take a shower and change clothes."

"Didn't Chi Aiqing want to resign?" Li Jinyu pinched his nose and said, "I don't want to love cats so far away, or..."

"Your Majesty, I'm so overwhelmed by Dadi, I'm dying! How can I resign at this time?" Chi Zhongming didn't hesitate, his voice suddenly resounded, his whole body was like a dead tree glowing with vitality, his eyes were piercing, "Your Majesty, read For the sake of our acquaintance and solidarity, the position of Royal Cat Officer must be reserved for me!"

Huo Caiyu was stunned watching, not understanding why Chi Zhongming was suddenly awakened by a cat.

Li Jinyu held back for a while before coughing: "Look at Chi Aiqing's performance."

"Then this cat..." Chi Zhongming looked longingly at the cage.

Li Jinyu took it away: "Chi Aiqing should take a bath."

"The minister will leave for the time being." Chi Zhongming saluted reluctantly, his eyes lingering on the little black cat for a while, then he turned and ran away.As soon as he ran out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Li Jinyu and Huo Caiyu inside the hall heard an uncontrollable "hahaha" sound outside.

Li Jinyu: "..."

Huo Caiyu: "..."

The black cat was lying in the cage, covering its head with its two kitten paws.

Huo Caiyu subconsciously glanced at the kitten that made Chi Zhongming change his attitude instantly, and frowned slightly.

He had only seen a black cat once before. At that time, the black cat was huge. It was completely different from the little cat in front of him, which looked only the size of a palm. He didn't connect with him for a while.

——The cat's eyes are full of fierceness, and it looks fierce, and I'm afraid it will hurt His Majesty...

Huo Caiyu said tactfully: "Where did your Majesty find the cat? Or give it to the imperial doctor for examination to avoid any diseases."

"No, I've checked it." Li Jinyu knocked on the cat's cage, and said to the little black cat inside, "Big Fatty is very healthy."

The little black cat widened its eyes and looked at Li Jinyu angrily.

Locking up the "enemies" who left him a deep psychological shadow in the past and teasing him in a cage, Li Jinyu reaped great joy.

"Fat, fat, fat."

"Meow! Meow! Meow!"

Huo Caiyu looked at Li Jinyu and the kitten in the cage seriously, and couldn't help laughing.

His Majesty is so cute.

"How can Your Majesty be sure that this cat can refresh Chi Zhongming?"

This question made Li Jinyu and the little black cat stiff at the same time.

The little black cat lay down again as if nothing had happened, pretending that it was a little kitten who didn't understand anything, and licked its paws on its own.

Li Jinyu turned his head nervously, and managed to hold back a reason that was not outrageous: "When we met a few times before, he always talked about his cat! I just thought that Chi Zhongming might be a real cat lover. Seeing this The weak kitten might cheer up."

Huo Caiyu frowned, no matter what, he couldn't believe such a reason.

But there was no other explanation either.

Huo Caiyu originally planned to let Chi Zhongming go if Chi Zhongming was really ashamed. Chi Zhongming loved Ye Guixiang, but Ye Guixiang's vain attempt to control the court and harm His Majesty was incompatible with them.

He had a clear conscience for beheading Prime Minister Ye, but he still felt a little guilty about Chi Zhongming.

If someone hurt his Majesty, no matter how harmonious the other party had been with him, and no matter whether His Majesty did something wrong, he would not be able to accept it calmly.

Under such circumstances, forcing Chi Zhongming to stay in the court would not be a good thing for both parties.

It's just that he didn't expect His Majesty to have such a way to easily control Chi Zhongming's mind.

Thinking of this, Huo Caiyu felt a little sour again: When will His Majesty notice his thoughts?

Seeing that Huo Caiyu seems to have accepted this reason, Li Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief.

He lowered his head and looked at the little black cat, thinking about how to tell the black cat not to reveal his identity.

After all, he and Huo Caiyu are sleeping in the same room now, and it's really very close to each other day and night...

--what?

Li Jinyu suddenly realized a problem.

The reason why he had to drag Huo Caiyu to live in the bedroom was to resist the black cat's sneak attack; now that the black cat has been beaten back to its original shape, why did he risk being found out to keep Huo Caiyu in the palace?

And that kiss...

He was a little flustered when he saw Huo Caiyu for a while.

Li Jinyu looked at Huo Caiyu tentatively: "Huo Aiqing, do you want to move back to your own house?"

Huo Caiyu was startled, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

It is clear that the prime minister has already been punished, and the court is about to usher in a brand new spring. These days, he hastened his time to deal with all kinds of problems brought about by the downfall of the prime minister's faction, just to free up time with His Majesty as soon as possible.

He has reached this position.

If possible, he would like to try to ask His Majesty, what he thinks of him, and whether there is any possibility between His Majesty and him.

Just when His Majesty succeeded in persuading Chi Zhongming and solving their last trouble, Huo Caiyu was still thinking about the beautiful life with His Majesty.

However, after they won the victory, His Majesty asked him to move out of the bedroom?

Huo Caiyu's gaze changed several times, and his heart was sour.

"Your Majesty, do you feel that the subject...goes too far?"

"No." Li Jinyu tried his best to look normal, not daring to look at Huo Caiyu, "I just thought that Huo Aiqing had already built a mansion, so it would be inconvenient to stay in the palace."

Huo Caiyu stared fixedly at his Majesty, seeing that His Majesty kept avoiding his eyes and dared not look directly at him, moved his lips, finally swallowed what he wanted to say, and pursed his lips: "I...lead the order."

——If Ye Guixiang falls, is he worthless?

Therefore, His Majesty does not need to continue the blind date between monarchs and ministers, trying to drive himself out of his surroundings.

Huo Caiyu lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

He had promised His Majesty in the past that whatever His Majesty wanted, he would get it for His Majesty; if His Majesty didn't want anything, he would clear it for His Majesty.

Even if it is himself.

……

Huo Caiyu moved away very quickly, and Li Jinyu was the only one left in the bedroom that night.

Li Jinyu drove Changkang out, closed the door of the bedroom, and happily showed two furry ears and a furry tail.

Finally, there is no need to be afraid!

After running a few laps on his exclusive hamster roller, Li Jinyu's excitement slowly faded away. Looking at the empty bedroom, he suddenly felt a little lonely.

In the dormitory, there is only the "creaking" sound of the slowly turning hamster wheel, and the person who is always on the other side of the screen and whispering "what's the matter, Your Majesty" is missing.

Li Jinyu didn't know why he was suddenly unhappy.

Even if he just got off the hamster roller, there is still a pile of delicious melon seeds by his hand.

——Could it be that he lived with Huo Caiyu for too long and relied too much on Huo Caiyu?

Li Jinyu picked up a walnut from the dried fruit plate, but he had no interest in grinding his teeth with it.

At this point, I still don't feel sleepy. I used to chat with Huo Caiyu nonsense, but now I can't find anyone to chat with.

After sitting for a long time, Li Jinyu slowly lay down on the dragon couch, staring at the cloud pattern on the roof tent, wondering what to think.

……

The next few days were uneventful.

Li Jinyu mustered up his courage many times to ask Huo Caiyu what the kiss in Wuyi Lane meant, but the words were always swallowed by force.

He didn't even know what he was afraid of.

I always feel that if I ask this question, something will be different from before.

But if he didn't ask, he scratched his head and felt uncomfortable again.

He also didn't know what answer he wanted Huo Caiyu to give him.

Is it just an accidental rubbing of the mouth?Or is it just an ordinary action under the excitement?Or……

For this reason, Li Jinyu hung around Huo Caiyu all day long, watching Huo Caiyu hesitate to speak.

His Majesty's abnormal behavior naturally cannot be hidden from the eyes of Huo Caiyu who has been paying attention to Li Jinyu.

In the past, although His Majesty followed him, his attention was spread widely.Any other person or other matter could easily take His Majesty's attention from him.

But now His Majesty's eyes always fall on him inadvertently, and occasionally you can see that His Majesty is hesitant to speak when you look over;

If it was before moving out of the palace, Huo Caiyu might still have some joy in his heart.

But His Majesty's current attitude is very obvious-the Prime Minister's faction has fallen, and he is no longer of use.

Without a prime minister or a great general to contend with, the regent now dominates the court—has your Majesty already started to suspect him?

Huo Caiyu was depressed, and dealt with the government affairs with his lips pursed.

Even if the thoughts in his mind are disturbing, it will not affect his handling of the government affairs in an orderly manner.

Everything he owns is a gift from His Majesty, if His Majesty wants to take it back, he will have no complaints.

He was just sad that His Majesty was so guarded against him that he refused to speak in person.

As long as His Majesty opens his mouth, no matter what he will do it without hesitation.

These few days he hesitated to speak, did he want him to take the initiative to hand over the power?

The pen in Huo Caiyu's hand stopped, and then dropped it in front of the desk with a "click".

He stood up, walked anxiously around the Hall of Supreme Harmony twice, walked to the door and looked up at the blue sky.

Suddenly his shoulders slumped, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.

——Forget it.

His promise to His Majesty stands forever.

Let him stand on the last post for His Majesty, deal with all the troubles, and then resign voluntarily.

Without the restraint of the false name of Prince Regent, perhaps His Majesty would still be willing to show him a sincere smile.

Compared with monstrous power, that is what he values ​​most.

……

Unknowingly, the heat of summer receded quietly, and the autumn wind brought a bit of bleakness and the joy of a good harvest.

The people happily talked about this year's harvest.A new tax was collected during the spring plowing period, and the imperial court specially posted an announcement that no second tax would be collected until the end of this year.

It means that the food grown in the field this year is all their own!

The warehouse is full of golden food!

How long had it been since they had felt this joy?

Everyone silently praised His Majesty's wisdom in their hearts.

And in the palace, a grand festival is also being prepared.

His Majesty's birthday is approaching.

In addition to the Spring Festival and the Dihua Festival at the beginning of the year, His Majesty's birthday is the most honorable festival in the Di Dynasty.

In the past, Emperor Jingchang would always spend a lot of time on his birthday, extravagantly wasting wine and meat, and even pardoned criminals casually.

When Li Jinyu came here, he cut off all those insignificant wasteful celebrations.

Seeing large amounts of money being burned meaninglessly, Li Jinyu felt extremely distressed.

He didn't remember his real birthday for a long time, and he didn't quite understand why human beings are so obsessed with the date of birth, so he simply ordered the extra celebration to be cancelled, and only hold a banquet in the palace.

Although I don't know the meaning of birthdays, I still have common sense.

Changkang was ordered to send invitation letters to the royal family and court officials, inviting them to the palace for a banquet.

Huo Caiyu, the regent, was among them.

Seeing Huo Caiyu, Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment.

It seems that he hasn't seen Huo Caiyu for a few days.

Today is the emperor's birthday, all the officials are dressed in a very dignified manner, the regent is no exception, the blue and black official uniform with python pattern is loose but not too loose, the jade belt is tied around the waist, and a few bright red necklaces hang down, which sets off Huo Caiyu's temperament More handsome.

It's just that the regent's brows furrowed slightly, as if there was something bothering him.

Since Huo Caiyu moved out of the palace, they met much less often.

Especially recently, Huo Caiyu seems to be avoiding him on purpose.When he went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony several times, Huo Caiyu "just happened" to finish his official duties, and he left in a hurry every time he met.

This made Li Jinyu feel more and more uncomfortable.

He still hasn't figured out the meaning of Huo Caiyu's kiss, and now Huo Caiyu is avoiding him again.

what happened?

Could it be that he was wrong?In fact, now that Huo Caiyu saw that the Prime Minister had been resolved, he was ready to usurp the throne, so he became more and more indifferent towards him?

Li Jinyu looked at Huo Caiyu, and suddenly Huo Caiyu cast two eyes over him, so scared that he immediately turned his eyes away, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

But then he reacted again—what was he hiding from?Why is there any need to avoid Huo Caiyu?

He did nothing wrong!

It was obviously Huo Caiyu who was snubbing him.

Even though he had made up his mind to let Huo Caiyu usurp the throne from the very beginning, Li Jinyu still felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable being suddenly snubbed by Huo Caiyu.

But thinking about it in his heart, when Li Jinyu thought of Huo Caiyu's face, his heartbeat would always speed up abnormally.

When he finally plucked up the courage to look up, Huo Caiyu had already taken his seat, started greeting the officials next to him, and stopped looking this way.

……

Huo Caiyu devoted himself to government affairs these days to numb his inner emotions.He didn't dare to meet with His Majesty more, for fear that he would not be able to restrain himself; he was also reluctant not to meet His Majesty, otherwise how could he relieve the pain of lovesickness?

It's just that every time I see His Majesty, I feel that His Majesty is not in a good mood.

Perhaps His Majesty really did not want to see him.

So he could only try his best to avoid His Majesty.

On His Majesty's birthday this time, Huo Caiyu stayed at home for several nights, concentrated his efforts, and personally made a small gift—maybe not very precious, but it embodies the deepest feelings in his heart.

The little gift was in his sleeve, and he was still hesitating whether to give it or not.

As the regent, he has already presented congratulatory gifts with hundreds of officials according to the etiquette;

As Huo Caiyu, he was afraid that his thoughts would be easily discarded by His Majesty, and even disgusted by His Majesty.

Huo Caiyu sat in the middle of the noisy banquet, and couldn't help but glance at His Majesty - two concubines were sitting beside His Majesty, talking in a low voice, looking happy.

It's not dazzling.

Huo Caiyu lowered his eyes, touched the cuff with the tip of his left finger, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, remaining silent.

The flattering officials around saw that the regent was in a bad mood, so their voices slowed down a little, and they winked at each other.

——The Prince Regent was sombre at His Majesty's birthday banquet, did he have any opinion on His Majesty?

Who doesn't know that the current regent is young, promising and capable?

After only a few months in office, he overthrew the thriving Prime Minister faction bit by bit. Ye Guixiang has not died yet; the general even expressed a concession to him, allowing the regent to disperse the existing formation of the army and rearrange it.

Except for the Ministry of War, everyone in the ruling and opposition parties admired and feared the power of the Regent.

Compared with the majesty who is high but has no achievements, the regent has handled much more government affairs.

Comparing their hearts to their hearts, if they were the regent kings, they would have already had some opinions on His Majesty in their hearts, right?

Now that the regent has shown it so clearly, should these courtiers also consider standing in line...

Huo Caiyu drank one cup after another, no one around dared to persuade him, until a hand came and took his glass away.

Chi Zhongming put the wine glass aside helplessly: "If you're drunk, you're going to make a fool of yourself."

"My king knows it." Huo Caiyu's eyes were slightly reddened by the alcohol, but he remained calm.

This is His Majesty's birthday, and it is a happy day for His Majesty. No matter how sad he is, he does not want to get drunk and disturb His Majesty's banquet.

Chi Zhongming looked closely at his eyes and knew that he was indeed measured, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore, but instead said: "His Majesty's birthday, the Queen Mother is coming."

This is my son's birthday, no matter how bad the Queen Mother is with His Majesty, this bit of face must be given, right?

Huo Caiyu raised his head and stared at him for a while, then frowned suddenly: "You seem to be okay."

Obviously, he was full of hostility towards him because he beheaded Ye Guixiang before, but now he suddenly returned to his previous state.

Chi Zhongming understood, raised his eyebrows and laughed: "It's nothing, I made a mistake in some things."

Huo Caiyu frowned and said nothing.

He is not in the mood to care about other people's affairs now.

Chi Zhongming was really curious about the relationship between Huo Caiyu and Li Jinyu, but now there are people around, so it's hard to inquire, so he just said politely: "The banquet is coming to an end, if you have something to say to His Majesty, you might as well go quickly. A man, if you With a clear conscience, there is nothing that cannot be said."

Huo Caiyu was silent for a while, holding his gift tightly in his sleeve with his left hand.

After a while, he suddenly stood up, turned around and walked towards the royal family's family banquet.

Chi Zhongming was right.

In any case, the man has no fear and no shame in this world. Even if His Majesty wants to dismiss him tomorrow and expel his people, he must at least send his heart out and ask His Majesty how to treat him!
