emperor and dragon

The next day, as always, Long Rui got up first.This has been an agreement between the two for 13 years.Even if Xue Chan was going to court that day, every time Xue Chan got up, he could always see Long Rui who was busy for him.

Long Rui tidied up the clothes that were scattered all over the floor yesterday, and tidied up the disturbed memorial... When Xue Chan woke up, he saw Long Rui's busy figure.

Xue Chan could probably guess what Long Rui was thinking about him, but he didn't think there was anything disgusting or not, instead he felt it was natural, even taken for granted.To him, Long Rui is both a teacher and a friend, even if he is a dragon who is out of tune with the world.

In Xue Chan's view, splitting peaches and cutting off sleeves is not something that cannot be tolerated by nature.But Xue Chan knew that it was impossible for him and Long Rui. Leaving aside the different paths of human beings and dragons, his status as emperor alone showed that the relationship between them would never be possible.Emperor, there can be no love.Even a concubine is just a tool to leave future generations.

Long Rui changed the clothes for the awakened Xue Chan, his hands and feet were very nimble, because Long Rui knew that Xue Chan who had just woken up would be very confused, so he would easily catch a cold accidentally.

No one spoke between the two, everything was so natural.No handmaiden is needed, just each other is enough.

After breakfast, Long Rui urged Xue Chan to go to court.

"Little Shunzi."

"Whoo."

"The emperor is driving."

Long Rui looked at Xue Chan's back, and what was in his heart was a bitterness that could not be expressed or expressed.Sighing, Long Rui called the maid who was waiting outside, told her to clean up the dishes, and then went to Chuxiu Palace.

After the show girl enters the palace to become a concubine, she needs to gather in Chuxiu Palace the next day to undergo the final secret screening.

This screening is not public.The previous selection was just the emperor's preliminary judgment after seeing the women's family background and appearance, and it was not a real decision on whether they would stay or not.And the person who often decides whether the show girl will stay or not is not the emperor, but the emperor's close ministers.The emperor will send his most trusted people to screen.

This was a decree made by the previous emperors in order to repent, but this absurd decree was regarded as a treasure by subsequent emperors.Because of this decree, the emperor can use the hands of his close ministers to screen out a woman who was originally irresistible to him, or to further weaken the power of that woman's family after knowing the truth.

Of course Xue Chan would entrust this task to his most trusted Long Rui.Because, Xue Chan was the first person to become the emperor with the strength of only two people since the founding of Xiliang.One is Long Rui and Long Xiangliu, and the other is Tang Tian, ​​Tang Shen Gang, a general stationed on the frontier for a long time.

But Xue Chan didn't think about it, nor did he pay attention to how much indescribable heartache he gave Long Rui for this natural action.Because there is some pain, just say it out, if it keeps smoldering, one day, the embankment will burst.

Long Rui stood in front of this group of beautiful girls.Looking at this group of women, Long Rui was not moved in the slightest, but said indifferently: "My name is Long Rui, and I am your final screening officer. Next, when I walk in front of you, please report yourself name, and tell your birth."

The succinct words stunned all the show girls below.Some people smiled after hearing this, while others were frowning, some were calm and composed, and some were indifferent.Everyone understands that Long Rui in front of him is the key to being the first to be favored in the future.

They were all quite satisfied with their looks, but their origins were not an option for them.

Long Rui listened one by one in order. Suddenly, one Long Rui heard Gaogui, and he knew it was from a big family's voice and said: "Kong Xinting, my father Kong Ling."

Kong Ling?Kong Ling, the elder of the two dynasties?

Long Rui raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him for the first time. She did have the characteristics of a family, dignified, but too arrogant.In this palace, proud people are the most likely to be hurt, but since she was born in the Kong family, she cannot be directly touched now.

Seeing Long Rui's initial surprise, Kong Xinting couldn't help being a little complacent. She thought Long Rui would praise her, but unexpectedly, he went straight to the next woman and regarded her as nothing.This made Kong Xinting, who had always been the pearl of the Kong family, depressed, and was about to look for an opportunity to vent.

Long Rui walked in front of the next woman, but unexpectedly heard a beautiful voice: "Liu Huanhuan, my father, governor of Yunzhou."

Long Rui glanced at Liu Huanhuan without leaving a trace, this is a very beautiful woman, eighteen years old, although not as beautiful as Kong Xinting, but she is quite clear.This is the least of these palaces.Those clear eyes alone are attractive.I just don't know if Xue Chan will like it or not.After all, in the past 13 years, Long Rui has never seen Xue Chan get too close to a certain woman. On the contrary, he spends a lot of time with him, so it is not clear that he likes all kinds of women.Or, he doesn't like anything, he is just a high-ranking emperor.

Swiping away these miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, Long Rui continued to walk forward.

"The daughter of Danzhou governor, An Biling."

The governor of Danzhou?

But before Long Rui could see the woman clearly, he was interrupted.

"The governor of Danzhou is An Pingmian who almost couldn't defend Danzhou. It turns out that his daughter is also here."

Long Rui didn't look at Kong Xinting's proud face, nor did he look at the surprised expressions of other people. He looked at the woman named An Biling.She didn't react too much, she just kept her elegant demeanor and stood there silently, as if the person who was insulted just now was not her.

Long Rui couldn't help admiring that a woman could be so magnanimous and endure a momentary insult. Perhaps this woman named An Biling was the final winner.

But these, in fact, have nothing to do with Long Rui.

Long Rui turned around as Kong Xinting expected, but said something unexpected to Kong Xinting: "Kong Zhaoyi should not lower himself."

The implication is, since you have belittled other people's father so much, what are you doing to meddle in a high position, lowering your own status?

The deep meaning is: please don't talk nonsense.

Other talented women may not understand what Long Rui said, but Kong Xinting, who has read a lot of poetry and books, naturally knows, and the depression in her heart is even worse, but she knows she can't explain it at this time.

An Biling couldn't help looking at Long Rui, Long Rui naturally knew what An Biling meant, and replied coldly: "I didn't mean to help you, you don't need to care."

An Biling looked at Long Rui, and understood that the person in front of her was just saying this to prevent herself from being hostile. After all, Long Rui's help just now seemed like she, An Biling, had special treatment.

Maybe Long Rui in front of him really doesn't care, but An Biling understands that this person named Long Rui is not what he said on the outside, but a courtier who can only confuse the Lord. In fact, maybe he is the one who makes Xue Chan The real reason for being an emperor.And when the male favorite said, it might be the indifferent person in front of him... willingly.

In fact, An Biling's guess was correct.

The selection of Chuxiu Palace is over, and the results will be announced tomorrow.

The beautiful ladies came out in a file, and Long Rui was also preparing to leave.

Suddenly, Long Rui was startled by an exclamation.

Liu Huanhuan thought that she was bound to fall, but unexpectedly, at a critical moment, a strong arm stabilized herself.

Liu Huanhuan opened her confinement eyes, and at the same time, she heard a voice that sounded like heaven to her: "Is Liu Jieyu okay?"

Liu Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head, struggled to break free from Long Rui's arms, turned her head to the side, and blushed where Long Rui couldn't see.

Long Rui didn't care too much, he just walked away from Chuxiu Palace slowly, saying, "Liu Jieyu had better be careful when going back. Otherwise, it won't look good with a disfigured face."

It might sound like irony to outsiders, but for some reason, Liu Huanhuan knew that this was a joke made by that person.Although there was no one else beside her, Liu Huanhuan's face turned even redder.

Long Rui, who returned to the imperial study, wrote down the list of those beautiful women who passed.People who need to stay in the palace need to have all levels and identities, and their talents and knowledge should also be different.Soon, there were only two vacancies left on the list in Long Rui's hand.

When Long Rui listened to those women, he not only looked at their life experience, but also at the character of those women. They had to be fit to stay, otherwise, if they didn't follow his and Xue Chan's plan, it would only increase Xue Chan's troubles. Long Rui didn't want to see it.

When Long Rui was thinking about the last two people, the figures of the two people suddenly flashed in his mind.Thinking of it, I immediately picked up my pen.

Long Rui completed the list, and Xue Chan also left the morning court.Xue Chan didn't even look at the list that Long Rui handed over, and directly handed it over to Xiao Shunzi to make a brand for tomorrow, and he would sleep in the imperial study room for another day.

Long Rui didn't speak, just stood by Xue Chan's side as usual.He knew that after tomorrow, Xue Chan would never sleep with him at night again.

Nagasawa, I will always be you, Long Xiangliu, what about you...

Xiao Shunzi took Long Rui's list and went to Si Baosi to make a card for the future emperor.

The last two names on the list in Xiao Shunzi's hand could be vaguely seen.

"An Biling" and "Liu Huanhuan"

Maybe Long Rui didn't expect that the two people he added at the end became the most important two links to change the fate of everyone, and this everyone, including him, Long Rui.
