Omi had to sit up

Xie Zhen's delay in returning home was actually because of this matter.

Chen Shu glanced at the imperial study room again. With his ability, he only needed to spread his six senses to hear the conversation in the room, but at this moment he didn't have the intention to continue to probe inside.

Seeing that Chen Shu hadn't spoken, Xie Su quickly said, "This is actually the old tune of those courtiers. After the emperor was injured, the ministers often saw the letters of remonstrance from these courtiers, but there was no movement. The emperor It should be unintentional in a short period of time."

After the death of Marquis Jingning, this matter would be brought up by his courtiers every one or two months. Xie Su would be at a loss at first, but later seeing that the emperor refused simply and simply, these remonstrances became the best representative. Batch of memorials.

But in fact, the minister's concerns are not unreasonable.The current emperor is in his thirties. Ordinary people at this age already have wives and concubines, but Xie Zhen, who is an emperor, still has only one person.In the past when Lin Chenshu was around, the ministers did not dare to speak out, but now that Marquis Jing Ning has been rumored to have passed away, the advice has sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Chen Shu was speechless for a moment. He stood outside the imperial study room and watched for a while, and was about to leave when he suddenly saw the door of the imperial study room open with a "squeak".

He frowned, and wanted to hide here, but he saw that the first person who came out was wearing a red court uniform, with a mustache on his lips, but his appearance was very familiar. .

When Li Yezhi walked out of the study room, he saw a red figure from the corner of his eyes. He felt an inexplicable familiarity in his heart, so he hurriedly looked there, but only saw a piece of red clothes hiding behind a tree. Dao Tall figure.

There were still officials behind him waiting to go out, so Li Yezhi paused and walked down the steps of the imperial study.

Subsequent officials went out in turn.These people are officials of the Imperial Academy, and when they went out, they all had embarrassment on their faces, and they didn't dare to show it near the emperor, so they went out of the study and left with their heads buried. After bowing to say goodbye, he stood alone at the courtyard gate of the imperial study.

The door of the royal study was closed again.

Xie Su had been participating in politics for a long time, and the people who came out were just a group of people. He thought that there was still something to be discussed in the Ministry of Rites, so he kept his eyes on his nose, his nose, his nose and his heart, and continued to wait under the shade of a tree. The sound of someone praying before.

"I have met and understood the young master." An official walked in front of him and said.

Xie Su was taken aback for a moment, and realized that this person was Li Yezhi, a servant of the Imperial Academy, so he quickly said no.

Li Yezhi straightened his body, raised his eyes to look behind Jie Su, then bowed and said: "Young Lord, just now I saw a person beside Lord Hou, dare to ask that is the 'Chen Shu' Mr. Chen who is beside the emperor? "

"Ah?" Jie Su was stunned again, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

He didn't expect Li Yezhi to be so sharp-sighted that he saw Chen Shu's traces. He wanted to refuse, but then he thought that Li Yezhi in front of him was the person who was supported by Lin Chenshu, the Marquis of Jingning, and he was said to have a good relationship with Marquis Jingning...

Judging from the emperor's attitude and Chen Shu's skills, the relationship between Chen Shu and Lin Chenshu is self-evident, and Jie Su hesitated for a moment.

He was too embarrassed to say yes, and it was hard to say no, but in the end someone slowly walked out from behind the tree and replied, "It's me."

A strange voice sounded, and Li Yezhi looked up, and he saw a person wearing a long dark red dress. This person was completely different from the person in his memory. In the past, Jing Ning Hou was soft and beautiful, but now this person is very handsome, like the morning sun. Vigorousness is a completely different feeling from Lin Chenshu.

The warm wind blew by under the sun, bringing the red clothes and skirts flying.

Li Yezhi was slightly dazed, and bowed his hands respectfully forward and said, "Mr. Chen, may I take a step to speak?"

Chen Shu was slightly startled, and looked Li Ye up and down.

Li Yezhi is different from Yang Wu and Han Heng. Although he had a personal relationship with him, he didn't know his current appearance. Why did he vaguely recognize his appearance at this time...

He was silent for a while, and went to a nearby corner with Li Yezhi.

Li Yezhi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the "Mr. Chen" in front of him again. After a while, under Chen Shu's watchful eyes, he said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, I handed over the brochure to the emperor two days ago. Go to West Hammer."

Chen Shu was startled again.

He suddenly remembered that Li Yezhi had once revealed to him when he was just admitted to the first prize that his greatest wish was to become a Beijing official.

Li Yezhi also seemed to see Chen Shu's stunned expression, smiled lowly, and said to himself: "Although the conditions in Xihammer are a bit poor, it is also a good place for experience. My current official position, if I want to continue to climb up, I have to go out." Only after a few years can we have better capital to compete with people.”

"..." Unexpectedly, Li Yezhi said this to him, and Chen Shu didn't know how to answer for a while.

"In the past, I always complained that I didn't have a good background. My father was just a low-level official like Yuanwailang. He couldn't climb up the ladder like others. He could only follow other people's faces. It wasn't until I met Jing Ninghou that I realized that even if you were born Not good, there are different ways to be an official." Li Yezhi continued to speak as if he didn't need him to answer.

"..." Chen Shu listened silently, vaguely remembering that he and Li Yezhi once met at the back door of Taiwei Qi's house.

"Actually, my current status also depends on the support of the Marquis of Jingning." Li Yezhi coughed dryly again, "He saved my life and helped me a lot. I have thought about it for a long time, although I can't do it. You can’t work as hard as he does, but at least you can do things like him without fear.”

He babbled a lot, and Chen Shu was stunned and said: "Xichammer is tough, Master Li still needs to protect his body."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for reminding me that although I am not talented, I still want to show my strengths before being transferred back to the capital." Li Yezhi said.

Chen Shu smiled.

Li Yezhi looked at the smile of the person in front of him, only felt that the person in front of him vaguely rediscovered that person's looking forward to his appearance, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for listening to my rambling." As he spoke, he realized something, and suddenly said: "That's right, I can't call you Young Master Chen anymore."

"What?" Chen Shu only heard something in Li Yezhi's words, and smiled in surprise.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Li Yezhi didn't seem to know, and he was also surprised in his heart: "Master Chen doesn't know? The emperor has already planned to make you a king with a different surname."

Chen Shu slightly opened his eyes wide.

Li Yezhi was still about to say something, when he heard the door of the imperial study room open again with a "squeak", he turned around and saw officials from the Ministry of Rites also came out one by one, leaving the imperial study room one by one.

This time, the door was completely opened, indicating that the discussion inside had ended.Seeing this, Li Yezhi turned his head and smiled and bowed his hands to Chen Shu, congratulated him, then bowed and retreated outside the palace.

Jie Su, who was under the shade of the tree before, had disappeared, so Chen Shu came to his senses and looked in the direction of the imperial study.

The door was open, and all the officials from the Ministry of Rites had left.Chen Shu stood in the courtyard for a while, but finally couldn't bear to move forward.

There were voices of people discussing in the imperial study room.

"Xie Su, if you are made the crown prince of a country, what should you do?" asked a familiar male voice.

Chen Shu was taken aback, and stopped in front of the door.

The child's voice has already hesitated: "If you want to be the prince of a country, beware of gaps and embrace the weather."

"anything else?"

"Listen to the minister's words, tell right from wrong, have a balance in your heart, and take care of the overall situation."

"anything else?"

"No regrets, the ruler is at the helm, discerning the direction, and should not be afraid of wind and waves."

"anything else?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and after a while, Xie Su continued: "I will do my best to assist the emperor..."

Xie Zhen didn't reply, and the surrounding area was still quiet.

Jie Su's voice tentatively added a few more words: "...and Mr. Chen?"

Chen Shu standing outside: "..."

Chen Shu's face slowly turned red.He was embarrassed for a while, and wanted to slip away, but his footsteps seemed to take root, until Xie Zhen's voice came again.

"It was his choice to make you a reserve."

……

……

The empty imperial study room fell into silence again.

The sun and the shadows of the house sprinkled alternately on the ground, as if time stood still, until a gust of wind blew in the courtyard, and the shade of the trees in the distance was rustling, as time passed.

Chen Shu stood in the same place with his eyes down for a while, and the voice of Jie Su suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Master Chen, I'm leaving."

Chen Shu came back to his senses, only then did he realize that Xie Su had arrived at the door of the imperial study and was bowing to him.

The child's voice said that the old man is not too big, and he is not too small, and the people inside must have heard what he said just now.

Chen Shu nodded, still got up and walked into the imperial study.

When he was the Marquis of Jingning, he often worked in the study with Xie Zhen. This time, after nearly two years of separation, he re-entered the room, but saw that the layout inside was still very familiar. It was the desk where he sat in previous years.

After walking for so long, the layout of the imperial study has not changed.

Chen Shu's eyes flickered, and when he looked ahead, he saw someone seated at the head. That person was sitting in a black robe with gold silk embroidered dragons flying around. This person seemed to be aware of Chen Shu's existence, and quickly raised At the beginning, Twelve Angles swayed slightly with the movement, and looked at him through the beads.

At this time, Xie Zhen's hair and temples were neatly arranged, revealing a handsome face. Although the traces of the fragments of the gods on the man's forehead have disappeared, the years seem to have left no traces on him. Like meeting for the first time.

"Shushu, why are you here?" Xie Zhen got up and asked.

"I heard, I heard..." Chen Shu thought for a while, but he still didn't say what Li Yezhi told him just now, but just smiled, "I've almost recovered, and seeing that you haven't returned to the palace, I came out for a walk .”

Xie Zhen responded with a low voice.

He was still wearing the upper court clothes, the robe brushed the ground, and dragged step by step from the steps, but after a while, the breath of a man was in front of his eyes.

"When I came back this time, I didn't even think about getting any official position." Chen Shu was still thinking about the conversation between Li Yezhi and Xie Su just now, and said in a low voice, "Actually, you don't have to... hiss... Xie Zhen, what are you doing?" What?"

Chen Shu originally wanted to say that Xie Zhen didn't have to work hard for him, but in the middle of speaking, there was a sudden cool touch on his neck, and he shrank subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhen would suddenly act in such a childish way. He was stunned, and looked at Xie Zhen slightly, but saw the man in front of him with slightly curved lips, and his gaze after twelve o'clock was slightly narrowed.

"You said you were healed, and I want to help you take a look." He cupped Chen Shu's chin with both hands and said.

Because of his practice of cold mountain swordsmanship, the temperature of his hands was lower than that of ordinary people. When his fingertips rubbed against his skin, Chen Shu immediately felt a small shudder around his neck.

"Didn't we just watch it last night..." With Xie Zhen's eyes focused on it, Chen Shu's voice raised his voice, but unfortunately, it softened again when it reached his mouth.

Xie Zhen's breath was in front of him, and he smiled softly.

Chen Shu's earlobes turned red instantly. He turned his face away and stopped looking at Xie Zhen. He took a step back with his boots and was crushed against the wall by the man in front of him.

The temperature in the room was somehow warmer than that in the sun.

"No, this is the imperial study room." Chen Shu took a short breath, and glanced at the door of the imperial study room, only to see that the door of the imperial study room was closed again at this time.

There were only him, Xie Zhen, and Xie Su who had left here just now, and it was easy to know who brought this door without saying a word.

This kid, shouldn't it be on purpose?

Chen Shu's eyebrows twitched. He wanted to open his mouth to say something more, but was quickly blocked by Xie Zhen. The words he wanted to say came into his mouth, and finally turned into soft sobs.

His hand was still attached to Xie Zhen's complicated skirt, trying to push away the man in front of him, but just as he exerted his strength, Xie Zhen grabbed his wrist, slowly pulled it over his head, and pinned it to the wall.

Chen Shu frowned and closed his eyelids.

"Chen Shu." Xie Zhen's breath did not leave, and the man said again in a low voice, rubbing Chen Shu's palm on the wall with his cold fingertips.

Chen Shu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the hand that was originally rejecting suddenly clasped the opponent's five fingers firmly.

In the imperial study room, someone's crown fell, and the jade beads made a sound of falling into the plate; someone else's breath overlapped, melting the cold here.In the deep courtyard of the palace, there are butterflies rising and falling, dancing in the blooming flower clusters, charming the window scenery, embellishing a place full of spring.
