I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

With Xue Yuan's appearance, he somewhat resembled the image of the regent king in the book.

Gu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Xue Yuan watched a eunuch beside the rockery sneak away behind the rockery, turned his head thoughtfully, and smiled lightly at Gu Yuanbai, "Look at the landscape, look at the flowers and plants."

"Xue Qing has time to spare." Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes, "How are you recovering from your injuries during the days off?"

Xue Yuan said: "It's okay."

He stood about two steps away from Gu Yuanbai, and after he finished replying, the two of them stopped talking.

moment.

"My lord." Xue Yuan suddenly said.

Gu Yuanbai raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

Xue Yuan asked respectfully: "In the palace, are there any clan relatives living here?"

"There are some clan relatives," Gu Yuanbai said casually, "Who did you bump into again?"

Xue Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty is worrying too much."

After saying these two sentences, the wind calmed down for a while, and at this moment, a voice came from outside the pavilion: "Your Majesty!"

Gu Yuanbai turned his head and saw that it was Tian Fusheng who was sent by him to find the lady in the house to inquire about news.

Tian Fusheng was so exhausted that he was out of breath. He went up to the pavilion and was about to report something to Gu Yuanbai when he looked up and saw Xue Yuan. He stared and froze in place.

Xue Yuan nodded politely at him and said, "Director Tian."

"Xue, Master Xue," Tian Fusheng returned to his senses, smiled at Xue Yuan, and continued to talk to the Holy One, "The Holy One has already walked so far, and the little one can't see the shadow behind him, I almost thought If you lose track, your little heart will jump out of your throat with fright."

"Okay," Gu Yuanbai smiled, and said openly and honestly, "Can you inquire clearly about what I asked you to inquire about?"

Tian Fusheng glanced at Xue Yuan from the corner of his eye, and then said sternly: "Your Majesty, the cleaning lady doesn't know much, but I followed the eunuch above her to check and found something."

Gu Yuanbai said, "Tell me about it."

After the eunuch behind the rockery sneaked away, he came all the way to Prince He's mansion.

Prince He listened to his words with a cold face, and after hearing what he said, "The Holy Majesty and Master Xue get along very closely", his expression suddenly changed.

He asked deeply: "What kind of intimacy is it?"

The eunuch said euphemistically: "I don't dare to look at it too much, I only know that Mr. Xue is standing in front of the Holy One, and even cleaned his face for the Holy One."

That is even touching the face.

Prince He stood up abruptly, pacing back and forth non-stop, "The sage is angry, did you punish him?"

"The Holy Majesty didn't reprimand Mr. Xue," the eunuch said cautiously, "it seems that he didn't look angry either."

"..." Prince He paused, and after a long silence, he suddenly said, "You step back."

After the eunuchs in the palace retreated, Prince He called the personal eunuch over again.

As soon as the personal eunuch walked in, he saw that he was sitting with the prince in the shade of the room, his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but his tone was very depressed: "Go and send a beautiful maid to the Holy Majesty."

Gu Yuanbai and Xue Yuan, could it be that Gu Yuanbai...does he like a man?

What Tian Fusheng heard was actually nothing special.

It's just a little money, so that the eunuchs and maids under his management can learn the score of this poem.This poem is good in the first place, it is catchy when you hum it, and if it is passed on from person to person, everyone will be able to hum a line or two.

After listening to his words, Gu Yuanbai asked the chief guard to collect the kite, and led the people back along the original road.

When they reached the four-cornered pavilion surrounded by water on both sides, they happened to see a court lady wiping the carved stone table inside the four-cornered pavilion with a towel.

This palace lady's face is very beautiful, I don't know if it's hot or shy, but there is a slight rosiness on her face.With slender hands and slender clothes, although the clothes are simple, they highlight the figure.

Tian Fusheng could tell at a glance that this maid was extraordinary, but the ones who could send the maids were all the masters of various mansions, maybe even Concubine Wan.Tian Fusheng watched his nose, nose, and heart, and he couldn't take the initiative to drive him away unless the Holy Majesty ordered him to.

Gu Yuanbai walked over and sat down, and said casually, "Back off."

The maid was a little disappointed, "Yes."

But because of her confusion, she accidentally knocked down the teacup on the table when she stopped.The hot water that had just been poured into the teacup quickly flowed down the table, Gu Yuanbai quickly got up and took two steps back, frowning.

The sleeves were already stained with hot water, Gu Yuanbai shook his hands twice and looked at the maid.

The maid knelt down, her face turned pale with fright, "Your Majesty, this servant deserves to die, please forgive me."

Gu Yuanbai sighed: "Back off."

The maid quickly bowed down and left the Sijiao Pavilion cautiously.

Tian Fusheng was ordering people to clean up the water stains on the table, when Gu Yuanbai walked to both sides of the gazebo, put his hands on the railing, and glanced at the bottom of the water.

Soon, there were small birds leaning against the railing and falling down, their sharp beaks screaming non-stop. Gu Yuanbai couldn't help stretching out his hand, wanting to touch the feathers of these birds.

But it should be that the jade finger on the thumb is too conspicuous, making animals love it so much. Before Gu Yuanbai's hand touched the bird, the bird was already surprised, and the jade finger on Gu Yuanbai's finger was taken away by the probe , with a wave of wings, he was about to run away with the jade wrench in his mouth.

Gu Yuanbai couldn't help laughing, "Just you, a little brat, want to steal my things?"

He stretched out his hand to grab it, but the bird was startled. The bird flapped its wings in panic, loosened its beak, and with a "plop", the jade wrench fell into the lakes on both sides of the gazebo.

Gu Yuanbai followed the jade finger and saw the lake, his smile froze.

A black shadow flashed by, and Gu Yuanbai saw Xue Yuan stepped on the railing and jumped into the lake without hesitation.

Gu Yuanbai's eyelids twitched, he lifted his robe and walked out of the pavilion quickly, shouting: "Xue Yuan!"

All the guards hurriedly followed out of the gazebo, and some of them put down their sabers, and jumped into the lake with a "plop".

The chief guard looked serious and worried: "Master Xue, this injury..."

Gu Yuanbai's expression changed back and forth, and finally settled on a particularly ugly expression.

The guards in the lake shouted loudly back and forth, diving and floating continuously, but Xue Yuan still didn't make a sound.Gu Yuanbai's face became more and more serious. Suddenly, a person popped out from the side of the wooden path under his feet.

With the sound of water splashing, large pieces of water rushed towards the wooden plane road, and Xue Yuan's upper body emerged. He was completely soaked, and the running water from his black hair snaked down the lines on his body.

He smiled helplessly at Gu Yuanbai and said, "My lord."

"Is Xue Qing also so reckless after being injured?" Gu Yuanbai spoke bluntly, "I ask you, if you die, how can I explain to General Xue!"

The fire in his heart was steaming, and he stared straight at Xue Yuan, with fire hidden in his eyes.

It is so beautiful that the whole world is bright.

Xue Yuan said: "Your Majesty's jade finger should not be lost."

"I have a lot of jade," Gu Yuanbai suppressed his voice, his eyebrows narrowed, "I don't need anyone to work hard to find me a mediocre jade finger! It's just a dead thing—"

Gu Yuanbai's voice stopped abruptly.

Xue Yuan looked at him quietly, half of his body was still submerged in the water, he raised his hand under the water, loosened his five fingers, and inside was a green jade wrench that was so green that it was dripping with juice.

The running water in the palm slipped away from between the fingers, and there were a few drops of water on the jade finger, and those few drops of water seemed to have turned green.

"Your Majesty," Xue Yuan smiled indifferently, "I have found this ordinary jade finger. If you don't have any other jade rings to wear now, then feel aggrieved and use this for now, shall we?"

He stretched out his hand towards Gu Yuanbai.

Gu Yuanbai took a few deep breaths and held out his hand.

Hold it in your wet hand, and slowly put the jade wrench on your thumb in the other hand.Gu Yuanbai looked down at Xue Yuan, and glanced at him from his brows and eyes, but Xue Yuan was too serious, all his attention was on Gu Yuanbai's hands, and he didn't notice Gu Yuanbai's searching eyes at all.

The green jade finger returned to its place, Gu Yuanbai withdrew his hand, "Xue Qing, come up."

Xue Yuan smiled, "My clothes are all wet, it will hinder the eyes of the Holy One, and I will climb out of the water after the Holy One is gone."

Gu Yuanbai's Adam's Apple moved up and down, as if he wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say a word. He took a deep look at Xue Yuan, turned around and left here as he wished.

This large group of people left in a mighty manner, and the guards who were looking for Xue Yuan in the water also left behind.After the figure was almost invisible, Xue Yuan stopped laughing. With his hands on the ground, he almost dragged himself ashore with the strength of his arms.

After dragging himself ashore, he closed his eyes and took a while.

The legs of the lower body were still soaked in the water, and the clothes on the back were soaked with traces of blood.It's a good thing that Gu Yuanbai has already left, otherwise, after being seen like this, how could Xue Yuan still have the face to say that he is the most useful.

After a while, Xue Yuan came over slowly.He opened his eyes and looked towards the Sijiao Pavilion, and saw a familiar folding fan on the stone bench in the Sijiao Pavilion.

It was the folding fan that the Holy Majesty was holding before, and it was given to the Holy Majesty by Chu Wei.It should be too hasty, this fan was thrown here.

The corner of Xue Yuan's mouth twitched.

He rested for a while before standing up on the ground.Dragging the water marks all over his body, he walked into the four-corner pavilion, Xue Yuan bent down to pick up the folding fan, opened it with a swish, and the landscape painting and the poem mentioned on it were exposed.

Xue Yuan finished reading and said, "Cultural person."

He gave a half-smile, then tore the fan cleanly into two halves.

"I don't like cultural people other than my grandfather."

Gu Yuanbai returned to the palace, and let the drenched guards go down to tidy themselves first.And he was sitting at the table with deep brows, thoughtful.

A notification came from outside: "He and the prince came to pay a visit."

Gu Yuanbai came back to his senses, "Xuan."

After a while, he and the prince strode into the palace.

He went straight to the point and asked, "Is the Holy Majesty's birthday coming soon?"

Tian Fusheng replied: "There is still about a month to go back to the prince."

"After the birthday is over," He Prince said, "The Holy Majesty is already twenty and two, and it's time to have a concubine."

Gu Yuanbai, who was dealing with government affairs with his head down, paused and looked up at him: "Concubine Gong?"

Prince He looked at him with suppressed anger in his eyes, and clenched his fists, "Did His Majesty never think about it?"

His tone seemed to be questioning, Gu Yuanbai was already in a bad mood, he just laughed angrily when he heard the words, he didn't even save face for the prince, pointed at the gate of the palace and said: "Get out! "

Prince He's expression suddenly changed, mixed with disbelief, he looked at Gu Yuanbai in a daze.

"I'll say it for the last time," Gu Yuanbai said sharply, "Get lost!"

Prince He's expression turned livid, his lips fluttered a few times, and he turned and left.

Gu Yuanbai turned his head and asked Tian Fusheng: "I asked you to investigate him earlier, did you find anything?"

"No," Tian Fusheng said cautiously, "I haven't found anything wrong."

Gu Yuanbai did not make a sound, came over for a while, stood up and walked into the inner hall, mixed with the anger of the storm, "I will sleep for a while, and call me after half an hour."
