In March of the following year, Chu Yuan, who received a secret order, returned to Pingcheng with 5000 elite soldiers from the Yellow River Basin. Liu Yu received them grandly and secretly, and placed the [-] soldiers in the suburbs without disturbing the city defense soldiers inside Pingcheng.

At the same time, he also made a gesture to withdraw the ban on Chu Yuan, the official was restored to his original post, and he was granted the title of third rank and ten thousand households.

Faced with such generous treatment, Chu Yuan was rather anxious for a while. He felt that what he had done was not worthy of such a reward at all, so he made a special trip to the palace and expressed his feelings euphemistically. Ashamed.

Why is this person like this? He doesn't look like a man. Liu Yu said expressionlessly: "A few years ago, in order to cover up your departure from Pingcheng, I took the opportunity to impose heavy responsibilities on you, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers of the aristocratic family. , at this time, I'm conferring an official title on you, just to appease them."

After saying this, Chu Yuan understood that the reward was not for himself, but for the ministers of the family. He realized that he would not be able to please him this time, and his position in Liu Yu's heart might be further weakened. , and quickly added with a smile: "The emperor's holy candle is shining, and I feel ashamed."

This is a matter of course, the IQs of the two of us have never been on the same level, Liu Yu rolled his eyes at him, and asked: "Is there anything else? If not, you have come from a long way, and you have been exhausted all the way. , let’s go back to the house to rest for the time being.”

The two had been separated for several months, and Chu Yuan actually wanted to be gentle with him more, but after hearing these words, he was moved by how thoughtful he was for himself, and he got up and left after thanking him again and again.

After he left the main hall, he walked towards the palace gate under the leadership of Li Ping. On the way, he happened to meet He Ji who was led by Wang Gougou.

The two could be regarded as close friends, but ever since He Ji pleaded for Xiao Daocheng and Chu Yuan did not stop him, He Ji felt that he was being played for a fool, and their relationship faded.

He Ji was well-informed, and he already knew the news of Chu Yuan's promotion to the ranks. He first congratulated Chu Yuan with a smirk, then cleared his throat and said, "Next time, I will congratulate the brother-in-law specially. , I still have important matters to report to the emperor today, forgive me for taking the first step."

Chu Yuan sent him away politely, took two steps forward, turned his head to look at He Jian's back, and frowned slightly.

Although He Ji had murmured against him before, he had never shown his disgust and guard so clearly. Chu Yuan thought that he had been training in the Yellow River Basin for so long, and he had never met He Ji, let alone formed an enemy. up.

Under such a major premise, it seems inexplicable that He Ji's "yi brother" is not yin and yang, and Chu Yuan glanced at the silent Li Ping, and said softly: "Aunt Li, how is Master He doing recently? "

Li Ping said expressionlessly: "It's very good, Master Chu doesn't have to worry about it."

In other words, He Ji's status in the court has not changed significantly during the time he left Pingcheng.Chu Yuan believed that Li Ping would not deceive him on this kind of issue, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the reason for He Ji's change of attitude, so he could only keep this matter in his heart for the time being.

The two came to the gate of the palace in silence, and Li Pinggong sent him into the carriage, and when he lowered the curtain, he said abruptly: "I don't know if Mrs. Chu has noticed that Mrs. He and you are not only very similar in appearance and manners, but also in dress. Woolen cloth."

Chu Yuan's face changed, and he suddenly turned to look at her. His handsome face was a little pale, and he moved his lips but didn't know how to speak.

Li Ping didn't explain in detail the meaning of what she said just now, but just smiled, got up and went back to the palace.

After Liu Yu finished handling the trivial matters at hand, he didn't mean to neglect Chu Yuan, so he called someone from the house and hosted a banquet for him.

The two drank some sake, Liu Yu was a little drunk, he beckoned and called Chu Yuan to his side, put his arms around his waist and said with a smile, "It's only been three months since I've been out, why are you so thin?"

He touched his waistline with his hand, Chu Yuan took a breath, relaxed his body and leaned on his shoulder, and said softly: "I am on the bank of the Yellow River, and I miss Your Majesty day and night."

Liu Yu sternly bit his cheek, and said with a half-smile: "I haven't seen you for three months, when did you learn to say such things to make me happy?"

Chu Yuan really had nothing to say about his feelings for him, Liu Yu had to admit this, but Chu Yuan was thin-skinned and had never said such a thing.

Naturally, Chu Yuan couldn't say that it was because Li Ping's mention yesterday ignited an endless sense of crisis, so he could only avoid the seriousness and say lightly: "I speak from the bottom of my heart, and there is nothing false about it."

Liu Yu's original plan was to drag Chu Yuan to roll the sheets after drinking wine to fill his stomach, so he thought that today's atmosphere was quite suitable.

But today's Chu Yuan made him feel weird again, Liu Yu took a deep look at the other party, let go of the person in his arms and sat upright, and said calmly: "Of course I believe in you."

Nonsense, to have such a reaction, it is clear that you don’t believe it. Chu Yuan also has a deep understanding of his suspiciousness. Seeing that he has already sensed something is wrong, he dared not hide it anymore, so he could only cowardly say: "I just want to thank your majesty for treating me. That's good, I'm afraid that one day His Majesty will despise the minister..."

Liu Yu narrowed his eyes, and after a little thought, he understood what was going on, and asked with a straight face, "Did the second cat chew something in front of you?"

He is not very happy, Li Ping and Chu Yuan have a good relationship, and Liu Yu is not unaware of this, but no matter how good the relationship is, you have to figure out what can and cannot be said.

Chu Yuan could hear the displeasure in his words, and quickly said: "The accident has nothing to do with Aunt Li, it's because I couldn't help thinking wildly after I left the emperor..."

"Okay, you don't have to cover up for her." Liu Yu interrupted him impatiently, pinched Chu Yuan's chin and turned it around gently, and said slowly, "Stop thinking about so many things, things How to develop, I have a number in mind."

Chu Yuan clearly felt the displeasure in his words, did not dare to go against his intentions, quickly nodded obediently, and said: "I am guilty of this crime, and I ask the emperor to punish me."

Only then did Liu Yu show a little smile again, put him in his arms again, and said lightly: "It's good to know that I was wrong, I'm tired today, you go back first."

Chu Yuan knew what was supposed to happen today. Before he came, he took a bath carefully and smoked a light fragrance. When he heard that Liu Yu wanted to drive him away, he knew that this was a disguised punishment, so he dared not disobey it. Standing up, he said, "Yes, please take care of the dragon body, Your Majesty, I will leave."

——————————————————————————————————————

This matter is not over yet, in order to express his dissatisfaction, Liu Yu did not talk to Chu Yuan for half a month, and even severely punished Li Ping, warning her that if similar things happen again next time, she will cut off her Tongue bubble wine.

After Li Ping was severely punished, she was very honest for a while, and Wang Gougou surpassed her for the first time and became the most popular person around Liu Yu.

No matter what Wang Gougou does these days, he always has a smile on his face. He is very clear that although he came to Liu Yu's side earlier than Li Ping, his position in Liu Yu's heart is always lower than Li Ping's. Wait, now it is a rare opportunity to counter pressure Li Ping, Wang Gougou is really happy.

He is helping Liu Yu grind ink now, Wang Gougou is usually only responsible for Liu Yu's daily life, and most of the time this kind of elegant work is not his turn.

Liu Yu looked at Wang Gougou with a smirk on his face rather strangely, coughed lightly to bring him back to his senses, and then asked, "What are you thinking, smiling so stupidly?"

Wang Gougou glanced at him cautiously, and after realizing that the person was not unhappy, he replied softly: "Ergou is very sweet when he thinks that he can share the worries for His Majesty."

Liu Yu couldn't help laughing, looked up at him deliberately, and asked: "You have really become the top leader in the palace now, is there a little girl who came here to throw you in her arms?"

Why doesn't this man open which pot and lift which pot? Knowing that this is an eternal pain in his heart, he still insists on poking his scar fiercely.Wang Gougou's bright smile froze on his face, and he couldn't help but look at him sadly, Fang said: "Your Majesty, what do you think is wrong with Ergou?"

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Yu asked blankly, and seeing Wang Gougou's pitiful look about to cry after listening to it, he slightly raised the corners of his lips and said, "If you're so stupid, I won't bully you. ah?"

Wang Gou lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing his expression of lovelessness, Liu Yu felt amused in his heart, and said in a relieved tone: "I don't like the people under my command who are too smart. Look at Ermao, she is still kneeling outside."

Wang Gougou's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he couldn't help being moved: "Your Majesty, you are so kind to Ergou."

Liu Yu raised his head and thought for a while, then replied: "Maybe it's because your IQ really makes me unable to arouse the desire to bully. This is not a good thing, don't be too happy."

Wang Gougou pretended not to hear it, but still looked extremely moved, and said with red eyes, "Ergou will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations of Ergou."

Liu Yu was quite puzzled when he heard it, and thought to himself, could I have any expectations for an idiot like you? Seeing that Wang Gougou was really moved, he didn't break it, and took the picture of a good guy calmly. Ka, nodded deeply and said, "It's good that you know."
