After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

The vengeful black belly lay in his arms, wrapped his hands around his neck, and smiled gently at him.His black hair was like a waterfall, but his neck and collarbone were shockingly white.

Normally, this jade white has the texture of jade or snow, but at this moment it seems to have a more lustrous water color.Or maybe it was the inexplicable red marks on it that made the snow come to the world from the branches.He can't help but think of four words——

"Live color and fragrance".

emperor:……

Zhou Xun: "Can you?"

"Okay, okay...er..." the emperor turned his eyes away.

……

In the room, the emperor laid his head on the table, disguised as a quail with its head buried in the sand.Zhou Xun sat next to him, shoulder to shoulder.He flipped through the books one by one.

Not long after, the emperor heard the sound of books being cleaned neatly on the table.He raised one eye furtively, saw Zhou Xun's usual expression and said, "It's over."

...even the tone of voice is the same as usual.

emperor:……

This reaction, this overly bland reaction, this is the posture that a new storm is about to appear! !

The emperor raised his head to look at him nervously.Zhou Xun put the book aside and started to drink a bowl of white fungus soup.

Zhou Xun looked very calm.In the eyes of the emperor, his expression may be the expression of "this matter is over now", or it may be the expression of "I will settle the score with you later in autumn".therefore……

The emperor was so guilty that he couldn't bear it.

The emperor looked at him for a long time, and finally said: "Uh..."

Zhou Xun:?

Emperor: "Well, what do you think?"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, the emperor wanted to slap himself in the face.Zhou Xun said, "It's nothing."

Emperor: "Really nothing??"

Zhou Xun: "Nothing. Who gave you these books?"

The emperor sold his friends without even thinking about it: "Chu Tiankuo, he likes to go to those flower streets and willow alleys. He knows these things very well, and then I asked him to find a few books..."

Zhou Xun: "Oh."

The emperor confessed very honestly, very honestly, Zhou Xun secretly labeled Chu Tiankuo as a "fun friend and dog friend" in his heart.

After the emperor was inspected, he groaned for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Well, you've read it anyway, I have a question..."

"what is the problem?"

"That," the emperor showed a sunny and hearty smile, "Which one do you like more?"

Zhou Xun: ...

Heavy anti-kill.

The emperor swore that he asked this question purely for the sake of harmonious communication between the two in the future.But the effect of this sentence is obviously not the case.

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, thousands of houses are lit up.Seeing that it was night again, the emperor did not leave.But when he was about to fall asleep, he touched his nose and said, "I'll sleep outside today."

"Sleeping in the outer room? Do you sleep separately?"

"Otherwise?" The emperor suddenly grabbed Zhou Xun's wrist and scratched his palm with his fingers, "You..."

Zhou Xun:?

Emperor: "Don't challenge the self-control I am proud of! I still remember that you will have an interview in a few days!"

Zhou Xun: ...

Somehow, when he said the phrase "Don't challenge the self-control I'm proud of!", he saw the emperor show that cool subtle expression again.

The courtyard in Chunye was very quiet, and Zhou Xun's voice was very soft.He said, "Then... why don't you go back to the palace?"

"Because... I want to stay with you for a while." The emperor finished the sentence very fast.After saying this, he patted Zhou Xun on the shoulder: "Good night!"

Zhou Xun moved his eyelashes and said, "Good night."

The two did not look at each other, but both looked at the trees outside.After a while, they glanced furtively at each other and caught sight again.

So they couldn't help laughing.

"Don't show such a farewell expression." The emperor patted Zhou Xun's wrist, "See you tomorrow!"

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Zhou Xun went back to the room.The bed that was ridiculous last night has been tidied up.He lay on the bed, unconsciously leaving a place for another person to sleep.

He covered his face with the quilt.The wrist that the emperor patted just now was still hot.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't be so sensitive.

And when Zhou Xun woke up in the middle of the night to get up at night, he saw the bed outside.On the outer bed, the emperor was sleeping on his back, even snoring.But there was still a gap between his hands and feet, as if he still felt that he was hugging someone when he fell asleep.

So Zhou Xun got a little bad idea.He squatted beside the emperor and drew the word "king" on his head with his fingers.After a while, another little turtle was drawn.

Just when he was in high spirits, his wrist was grabbed: "Stop making trouble."

It was the voice of the emperor. He opened his eyes in the dark night, looked at Zhou Xun, and said, "There is no trouble again."

Zhou Xun: ...

Emperor: "It's a big event that can kill people, oh, it seems that we can't kill people..."

Zhou Xun sneaked back into the room softly, and said "good night" to him again.

In a few days it will be the imperial examination.The matter of the prince was handled well by the emperor. The whole world knew that the prince was out for an outing during the lockdown period, and accidentally fell down the bell tower. Because he was on the ground with both knees, he became a lame man with one leg long and the other short. Even walking is difficult.As for how the prince landed on his knees in a paradoxical posture... the emperor explained it this way.

"Every child is an angel with broken wings when he comes into the world." He said with a compassionate expression, "But Rong Fen is even more pitiful, because his wings grow on his legs."

The emperor's first dog-leg, Chu Tiankuo, and second dog-leg, Xiao Lizi, both expressed their praise for this speech.

Of course, there was also a little rumor that the emperor fought with his biological brother for a beauty, and would not hesitate to hurt his biological brother for the beauty like a concubine.Of course, this gossip is very limited, almost limited to the Yan Mansion.And Li Miao even laughed out loud in public after hearing this rumor, and mocked: "Do you think the emperor is the kind of greasy overlord in the story books who hangs the princess on the wall?"

When the son of the protector of the country spoke like this, the scholar circle took this statement as a joke.When Xie Zhengqing was asked about this matter, he also commented.He said lightly: "The Fifth Prince misbehaved, it's normal for this to happen."

He seems to seldom socialize with other people recently, he only likes to go to a teahouse alone, order a cup of tea in a box on the upper floor of the teahouse, and then sit for a long time.Across the river from the teahouse is Yanyunfang, and the place directly opposite him is Revlon.There, sat the oiran who had been hired by Revlon and left after the emperor took a stake in Zhaoying Pavilion (the emperor didn't even accept her ransom money, but gave her a sum of money to re-employ herself), light as.

He didn't go to Yanyunfang, he didn't go to Huajie, and he didn't see anyone.He just sat in the teahouse, drank a cup of tea, and drank all afternoon. Across the distant rain and water, not far away was the piece of singing and dancing.

The emperor heard about Xie Zhengqing's current weird hobby, but he didn't take it seriously. He just asked the officials who paid the salary: "Give Lao Xie more bonuses. Seeing that he is poor, I will go to McDonald's for an afternoon and order more than one drink." Unlimited refills of Coke."

And Zhou Xun also packed up his luggage on this day and went to the palace for the examination.

Before leaving, he naturally didn't bring the phoenix badge.He didn't want to be too conspicuous, and announced that "he has a relationship with the emperor" to everyone in the world.Lemon and Lianrong looked at him as if their son had come out of the woods. They packed his clothes for him, and Lianrong even made auspicious congee and number one scholar cake for him without Zhou Xun's knowledge. .Lemon said: "Lian Rong once had an older brother who always said that she wanted to take the imperial examination and the number one scholar. Lian Rong secretly learned how to make these dim sum. But her elder brother is fond of gambling, saying those words and acting out those ambitions are just for the sake of it." A tool to ask for money from the family. But Lianrong didn't know, she still foolishly learned to make these for him, waiting for the day when her brother won the first prize, and made them for him to eat. Later, her brother lost the bet and sold her. Rong has never cooked again. This is the first time she has done this again."

As she said that, she herself happily took out a braided flower crown: "It was the custom of my hometown when I was a child, and all the gentlemen who passed the examination must wear this thing. When the young master comes back, if the young master doesn't dislike it, you can wear it." let's go!"

On the other side, Xiaoduo and Lele also looked at Zhou Xun and smiled, and the guards who followed Zhou Xun on weekdays also laughed.

Before he knew it, Zhou Xun suddenly realized that he seemed to have a group of family members again.Even though they are just his servants in name, it's a bit rude to say that... But in this world, there are only a few people you can know and stay with day and night... Isn't there just a few?

So he smiled lightly and said "hmm".

When it was time to leave, Lian Rong asked Zhou Xun, "What kind of waist ornaments do you want to take with you today, my lord?"

"Take this away." Zhou Xun took out a jade pendant from the simple box.

The jade pendant was very old and not shiny, but holding it was like holding the whole world he once held.

That wet world where cowardly women are always crying.

He put the jade pendant on his body and left his mansion.It wasn't until Zhou Xun left that Lemon whispered, "Your Majesty, you are a very good person."

Lianrong nodded slightly.

Lemon said again: "The emperor is so kind to the young master, and the young master also let go of those things in the palace. But why do I feel that there are still some things that the young master can't get out of?"

Xiao Duo shouted behind them: "Hey, there are no rules, how can you discuss the son behind your back?"

Lianrong was silent for a while, then she touched her hand that had been cooking and said softly: "Perhaps some things, especially those related to childhood, are not so easy to forget. For example... I sometimes think of the time When my brother sold me, I kept crying, but he took the money and never returned it. It was more than ten years ago. That was the first time I knew that I could be sold and be My only family member was sold."

"Where is your brother now?" Lemon asked her.

"He's dead." Lian Rong said, "He used the money he sold me to go to the casino for a few days and lost it all. In the end, he was beaten to death and thrown into the river. You said, he sold me I still end up like this, isn’t it ridiculous?”

But she didn't realize until then that she was born a girl.She has never been loved by her parents, even her brother can sell her.

She said it was ridiculous, Lemon was silent, and put his head on her shoulder.

On the other side, Zhou Xun saw Yan Shangshu on the road.
