The General and His Enemy Your Highness

Concubine Jin was extremely favored after entering the palace, and even bewitched the Emperor of Chu to quit the court. Three out of five days, the Emperor of Chu was nowhere to be seen in the early morning. The court harem was unprecedentedly unanimous, and they all scolded the demon concubine of the Southern Kingdom.

But the concubine Yao is a concubine after all, she let the wind from east to west, north and south, not only did not restrain her, she even coaxed the emperor of Chu to go to the south of the Yangtze River to play.

The position of an important minister in the court is vacant, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites who asked for the decree to abolish the concubine that day was demoted three ranks in a row, and left angrily.

Mei Geng just smiled when he heard the news, Chu Hengzhi is suicidal, no wonder.

As a king, the most taboo is licentiousness, ignoring political affairs, as the emperor of Chu but ignoring government affairs, that dragon chair is not as good as letting others.

The New Year's Eve has passed, and King Xiping is still living in the Xiping Palace, and has no plans to return to the northwest.

The Emperor Chu was indulging in the gentleness of Concubine Jin, and had no time to take care of him. The Luo Royal Party repeatedly urged him explicitly and implicitly, but King Xiping pretended not to hear it. like human relationship.

In the 21st year of Xianzhang, when the new policy was implemented, His Royal Highness Huai Wang was extremely busy, spending all day in the study, lighting lamps and cooking oil, often staying up all night.

Mei Geng felt distressed when he saw it, and was driven back to the mansion by His Highness Huai Wang, and the reason was gentle.

——When you are here, I am distracted.

Steward Liu saw that King Xiping lived in the mansion for two days in a row and never went to Prince Huai's mansion, so he searched for Young Master Qin worriedly, and said earnestly, "You mean, the lord is quarreling with King Huai, right?"

Qin Gui said frankly, "It shouldn't be."

Butler Liu glanced over.

"Maybe the prince bullied His Highness Duke Huai unilaterally." Qin Gui said sincerely, and added, "This is not the first time."

Butler Liu immediately showed a look of sudden realization, and he took it for granted: "It makes sense."

In the study, King Xiping was buried in his official business and was writing hard. Butler Liu quietly entered the study, and persuaded him earnestly: "My lord, the husband and wife have always quarreled at the end of the bed. You can't be angry, go to the residence of Prince Huai to meet His Highness." Admit your mistake."

Mei Geng's hand trembled, and dizzy ink marks were extremely discordant.

"What did you say?"

In the subtle tone, there was a bit of aggrieved resentment.

Where did he dare to offend that little ancestor, it was too late to pamper and coax him, it was clear that the little guy drove him back on business, it was really wronged.

Butler Liu put on a serious face and emphasized his tone, "My lord, His Highness Duke Huai is weak, what should we do if he becomes sad and falls ill?"

—Speaks as it is.

Mei Geng supported his forehead, "Xiao Ce is busy with official duties, my king didn't want him to be distracted, so I didn't go to see him just now."

Butler Liu: "..."

-

Duke Huai's Mansion was brightly lit, reflecting the boundless snow.

His Highness Duke Huai, who was supposed to be busy with official duties, was nestled on a soft couch, with a delicate carving knife in his hand, staring intently and seriously at a small piece of ebony in his hand, with a tense and serious face.

The originally white and thin hands were already covered with tiny scars, new and old intertwined, like dead branches criss-crossing in the spring and white snow.

Wuwei, who was waiting on the sidelines, couldn't help but said, "Your Highness...what are you going to do?"

Chu Ce's ears turned red slightly, glanced at the red jade plum blossom pendant around his waist from the corner of his eye, pursed his lips and smiled, but did not respond.

The ugly time has passed, the night is dark, the candles are flickering and flickering.

A black shadow leaped over the courtyard wall of Prince Huai's mansion, swift as thunder, with ghostly movements, the dark guard who was guarding in the dark suddenly appeared, and the cold sword light was shining vertically and horizontally under the night.

The man in the black robe froze, blocked it with the dagger in his sleeve, and said coldly, "It's my king."

"This subordinate offended me." Several hidden guards were taken aback, then retreated back silently.

The candlelight in the room was dim, Mei Geng pushed the door lightly and came in, and quickly closed the door to prevent the cold air from entering. Looking around the screen, the young man on the soft couch was sleeping. His sleeping face was always cute and harmless. The profile is delicate and docile.

Mei Geng watched quietly for a while, and when he approached, he found the black eyes under his eyes. Feeling distressed and helpless, he covered him with the faded thin blanket, bowed his head and kissed his smooth forehead.

A kiss that combines love and longing.

The little guy opened his eyes half awake, pursed his lips and let out a soft moan like a milk cat, but after a while, he turned over in a daze and fell asleep again.

The posture was defenseless, Chu Ce in front of him was always like this, soft and sweet, like sugar that would snag, sweet and greasy, constantly pulling.

--so cute.

Mei Geng's heart suddenly twitched, his eyes full of helplessness and infatuation.

There is a mountain of Chu Ce's official documents on the desk. It is extremely difficult to implement the new policy. The little guy insists on tax reduction and exemption, attaches importance to farming, and enters the officialdom from a poor family. Covering the sky with one hand, but also suppressing Duke Huai.

After quietly staring at His Royal Highness for a long while, Mei Geng stood up with still unsatisfied intentions, sat down in front of the desk, picked up a pen and ink, and wrote about the reform for him like a cloud.

Chu Ce, who was lying on the couch, quietly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of clarity, and with the ebony and carving knife in his arms, he breathed a sigh of relief silently.

——It was so dangerous, he almost found out.

At the end of the night, Xiping King Tathagata approached the little highness as softly as when he came, kissed his forehead lightly and left quietly.

In this way, when Mei Geng came every night, he could see the little guy curled up on the couch and fell asleep, so he quietly handled the business for him, not wanting to disturb the little guy, so he went back silently.

——The little guys on the left and right will know that he has been here when they see those handwritings.

When dealing with official duties, he will also ink a sentence or two of love, and the lines are full of lingering affection, written on a piece of paper like a flowing cloud and flowing water.

Chu Ce put them away one by one, cherishing them extremely.

-

On the Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival, the lonely moon hangs in the clear night sky, the lights in the city are as white as silver, thousands of lights are hung on the branches of the pavilions, the lights are shining, and the fireworks explode like stars and rain.

The national style of Great Chu is conservative, but during the Shangyuan Festival, men and women can be seen walking side by side everywhere.

In the crowd, the young man in the black robe was handsome and dignified, but he was protecting a gentle and gentle young man in his arms. He didn't care about the surprised gazes around him, and he held the thin young man's waist majestically and held him in his arms. tenderness.

Chu Ce showed helplessness, and said in a low voice, "...you're not so weak, let me go."

"I know." Mei Geng whispered softly in his ear, "I just want to hug you."

Chu Ce was speechless, his face blushing, "..."

He didn't continue to struggle, and hummed inaudibly, which was considered to have allowed the intimacy in front of the public.

The love affair between King Xiping and King Huai caused a lot of noise, but it was just a rumor after all, not to mention that the two were so powerful that no one dared to say anything.

Sure enough, a disdainful sneer soon came: "A good man wants to be a woman who serves others. It's disgusting. It's really embarrassing to me, Da Chuerlang."

The tall man in the black robe suddenly stopped, and slowly turned his head, with a gloomy look on his brows, he paused every word: "Say it again?"

The people around suddenly retreated to the four directions, revealing a small open space, even if the two of them had cut off their sleeves, it can be seen that their clothes must be either rich or expensive, no one is willing to provoke them for nothing.

The man who spoke just now and the servant next to him were isolated in front of Mei Geng and Chu Ce, his smile was a bit forced, just now he just said something casually, but he didn't want the other party's attitude to be so arrogant, he was not angry for a while, and he really repeated it Once again: "A good man doesn't do it, but commits himself to others, like a woman, isn't it disgusting?"

The man's eyes were cold, as elusive as the deep sea, and he didn't speak, just stared at him silently, as if a storm was brewing.

The little servant rebuked arrogantly: "Presumptuous! Our young master is the young master of Yushi Zhongcheng Yang's family, why don't you hurry up and give way?"

The man with a cloudy complexion suddenly smiled, a icy smile, "Yang Jingzhen, Yushi Zhongcheng, it is not suitable to see blood during the Yuan Festival, this king will remember it for now."

As soon as the words "Ben Wang" came out, the dandy's face paled in an instant, and he faintly felt that he had offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and said in disbelief: "Who are you?! How dare you speak such wild words!"

Mei Geng joked with a smile, and spoke lightly: "Mei Geng."

The only one named Mei Geng in Chu is the arrogant and unstoppable King Xiping.

But the person in front of him is undoubtedly introverted. Even though his brows are sharp, his whole body's awe-inspiring aura is perfectly restrained by him. Only at this moment, the sudden coldness is like a cold light knife suddenly unsheathed. Young Master Yang is wanted by King Xiping at any time Heifeng's vicious aura of stabbing people with a knife was awe-inspiring, and he didn't come back to his senses until he was far away.

"He...he is the King of Xiping?" Young Master Yang turned his head pale and asked the young servant, who was also frightened out of his wits, and asked tremblingly, "Young...Master, what...what should we do?"

King Xiping was not only the most valiant general of the Great Chu, but also the Great Demon King who feared both civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Mei Geng, who turned his head and left, still frowned, pursed his lips for a moment, and said, "Xiao Ce, bear with it for a while, the more you think about it, the angrier you get."

Chu Ce laughed out loud, gentle and clear, with a bit of cunning at the end: "Want me to comfort you?"

The two were walking by the river, and the river was covered with lotus lanterns, shining brightly under the moonlight, but Mei Geng felt that the beauty of the world could not be compared to that little guy's star-like eyes, so he nodded of course, "He said you, I'm angry .”

Chu Ce was helpless, hesitated for a moment, took out an object from his sleeve, blushed and stuffed it into his hand, his eyes seemed to be perturbed when he turned his face away.

Mei Geng looked down, and in his palm was a hairpin made of flowing cloud ebony, the carving work can be called rough, it has nothing to do with the word exquisite.

According to the custom of Dachu, giving hairpins to tie hair is a token of love.

The palm of his hand seemed to be burning hot suddenly. Mei Geng stared at the ebony hairpin for a long time before returning to his senses, his eyes could not conceal the joy. He had waited for too long, after the snow and spring rain, after two lifetimes of spring and autumn, he felt his heart was burning. .

I don't know when the sky was covered by dark clouds, fine snow was falling, his forehead was slightly cool, and the snow was shining. He seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and suddenly clutched the rough ebony hairpin tightly.
