[Rebirth] Sovereign and ministers get along

"Father, are you looking for me?" When Shen Lanqing knocked on the door of the outer study, Shen Shuo was writing a letter.

Hearing the knock on the door, Shen Shuo didn't raise his head, and said in a neutral voice: "Come in."

Taking the ink stick from the hand of the book boy Shen Qi, he stroked the wide sleeve of his right wrist with his left hand, and Shen Lan stood quietly beside the desk, rubbing the ink slowly.

The water on the tea stove boiled, and Shen Qi, who was like a ghost, brewed two new cups of tea lightly. The breeze blew into the window, and the fragrance of tea overflowed for a while.

Ink-colored fireworks quietly bloom in the celadon brush wash.

Shen Shuo put the pen on the pen stand, shook the written letter paper, and pressed it together with the scattered letter paper that covered most of the book case: "Xiao Qi, go and wait outside the door."

With clever eyes, Shen Qi responded and exited the study.

The door was closed tightly without a sound, the study room was quiet and silent, Shen Qi could faintly hear the voice of Shen Qi guarding the door and coaxing the girl away with a smile.

Shen Shuo raised his eyes and looked quietly at Shen Lanqing frowning slowly, his warm and soft gaze fell on Shen Lanqing's collar, and was instantly stained with cold anger.

His thin palms clenched into fists and hit the Huanghuali book table. With a bang, Shen Shuohan said, "Too much bullying!"

"Father calm down, Lan Qing knows his mistake..." Shen Lanqing knelt down next to Shen Shuo's legs in an instant, her palm covered with fists with blue veins, "Don't get mad."

Qing Jun's eyebrows and eyes were full of earnest concern, Shen Shuo stared at his son and slowly loosened his fists, all his anger was suppressed into the bottom of the lake, and the usual warmth gradually emerged in his phoenix eyes.

Touching the glaring red mark on his son's neck with his fingertips, Shen Shuo suppressed his anger and asked in a harmonious voice, "Brother Lan, did he force you?"

Shen Lanqing looked away, trying to hide the embarrassment and embarrassment that suddenly appeared on his face, but sent the ear tips smudged with light pink to Shen Shuo's vision.

Shen Shuo frowned slightly, scratched the red mark with his fingertips, and waited quietly for Shen Lanqing's words.

Putting aside the embarrassment, Shen Lanqing turned his face, tilted his head slightly, and looked back at his father calmly: "Father, His Majesty did not do anything to his son."

"Hmm." Shen Shuo took a deep look at Shen Lanqing, took out a box of ointment from his sleeve, dipped some ointment with his fingertips, carefully covered the scar on Shen Lanqing's cheek, and massaged lightly.

The ointment with the fragrance of aloe vera is applied on the face, which is refreshing, cool and comfortable.

Shen Lanqing frowned, looking at Shen Shuo, her eyes were full of smiles.

Shen Shuo glared at Shen Lanqing lightly, lifted Shen Lanqing's neckline, dipped some ointment, and applied it on the red mark: "You are the eldest son of the Shen family, so you should have the arrogance of the eldest son of the Shen family. It seems to be in decline, but it is by no means to the point where it needs to be bullied."

"The father is at ease, and the son has a sense of proportion."

"As a minister, there is nothing wrong with abiding by the duty of a courtier..." Shen Shuo was noncommittal, fitting Shen Lanqing's collar, and said to himself, "However, abiding by the duty of a courtier and being bullied by the emperor are two different things, and I, Shen Jiazi, don't need to endure it." Wait for the big humiliation."

"Father..." Before, he couldn't figure out why his father was so uncharacteristic in his previous life and suddenly started forming a clique to gain power. At this moment, looking at his father's eyes, which seemed calm and peaceful but actually had dark waves, he finally understood.

Shen Lanqing lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, silently clenched her father's warm hand.

"This country seems to be stable, but in fact there are many hidden dangers..." Putting his palm on the top of Shen Lanqing's head and rubbing it lightly, Shen Shuo said calmly, "Everyone thinks that the ancestors of the Shen family were defeated by the Emperor Taizu back then. , the descendants of the Shen family must be unwilling, but it is not the case..."

"... There are long-standing families in this world, but there is no heavenly family that sits in the country for a long time. My Shen family only wants to last long. I will fight with Emperor Taizu just to resolve the personal grievances between the two."

"!" Shen Lanqing suddenly raised her head, her phoenix eyes slightly stared, showing a rare look of stupefaction.

"Heh!" Shen Shuo chuckled, and tapped Shen Lanqing's forehead with his knuckles, "Look at your promise!"

"Father, don't you think..."

"For father, I didn't think about anything..." Shen Shuo held Shen Lanqing's arm and asked him to get up, "For father, I just broke the convention and told in advance the clan rule that the patriarch of the Shen family in Huifengtang needs to pass on by word of mouth when he succeeds. For you, in case my son doesn't know the details of his own family, and he can't handle things properly, so he won't be wronged for nothing."

"Father..." Shen Lanqing bowed, put his arms around Shen Shuo's neck, and gently rubbed his cheek against Shen Shuo's neck, "Let the son handle this matter by himself, okay?"

Shen Shuo didn't say yes or no, he patted Shen Lanqing on the back, smiled and said slightly annoyed, "You are also a person who is going to marry a wife and start a family, Brother Zhan will not act like a baby to your father like you."

"Second brother's spoiledness has been passed on to grandfather."

"Go back and apply the medicine well. Before the traces are gone, don't hang around in Huifeng Hall, so as not to disturb your grandfather's eyes."

"Yes!" Shen Lanqing walked around behind Shen Shuo with a smile, "Father, can you pinch my son?" - This article first appeared in Jinjiang Literature City

He casually knocked off the hand pinched on his shoulder: "Don't annoy me here, go back to Guiyuan and change into clothes with a stand-up collar."

"Yes, the son will take his leave first, and come back later to give his father a shoulder squeeze."

After Shen Lanqing exited the study, Shen Shuo slowly suppressed his smile, calmed down the letter he had just written with a poker face, put it in an envelope, and sealed it with wax.

Knuckles tapped the desk table three times without haste, and two cyan figures floated down from the beams of the house, one tall and one short, both of them were boys with big eyes.

The short one asked with a smile, "Uncle, what's your order?"

A smile appeared on Shen Shuo's lips, and he said in a harmonious voice: "Two things, one, this letter needs to be sent by Guan Tao to Kunlun Mountain in person, and handed over to your adoptive father, and the other is that starting from today, Ting Hai, go and protect Brother Lan secretly."

"How can I do that!" Ting Hai wrinkled the short man's face instantly, and refused firmly, "The task given to me by my adoptive father is to protect my uncle!"

The tall Guan Tao also frowned, persuading: "Uncle, brother Yilan's skills are few people can hurt him, you must have someone around you to serve."

Shen Shuo laughed: "Why have I ever been short of someone to take care of me? Wasn't I fine before Min Zhi sent you here?"

"There are a lot of people, but it's a pity that the skills are too weak." Guan Tao closed his mouth, and Ting Hai muttered softly.

"That's why I asked you, a master, to follow Brother Lan."

"That's not the task entrusted by the adoptive father..." Shen Shuo stared at Tinghai with a smile, and asked unhurriedly: "Do you want me to write a letter to ask your adoptive father what he wants?"

"Don't, let the adoptive father know that I don't listen to you, you have to peel off my skin!" Ting Hai shook his head again and again, joking, the adoptive father obeyed your words and bowed his head and ears.

I'm not worried that Shen Lanqing's skills can't protect himself, but I'm just worried that Shen Lanqing and Zhongjun are idiots, so Shen Shuo brings the unscrupulous Tinghai to Shen Lanqing's side, just in case.

However, the world is unpredictable, who can really count on it?

The new moon hangs high, and the shadows of the trees dance.

In the upper room of the osmanthus courtyard, in the east room, on the Luohan bed, the veil swayed gently in the wind.

The young man in purple clothed himself with a silk quilt up to his waist, and lay down with his clothes on, his clear brows were tightly locked.

"Your Majesty!" The veil swept over Qing Juan's cheeks, and with a soft drink in the dream, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with sadness.

Staring blankly at the top of the bed, Shen Lanqing slowly raised her hand to cover her heart, but couldn't stop the pain overflowing from the depths of her soul.

Warmth enveloped the cold hands, and the blurred phoenix eyes gradually became clear.

Shen Lanqing turned her head, squinted her eyes, and looked at the figure kneeling in front of the window through the faint moonlight: "Shen Yi?"

"Ah."

"Why are you here?"

"Vigil."

"Didn't it let you recuperate?"

"..." Shen Yi lowered his eyes, and after a short silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "I don't ask you to respond, but don't let the little Taoist priest take care of me."

Shen Lan looked at Shen Yi quietly, with helplessness at the end of her eyes.

"Before I was nine years old, I only knew that I would serve the descendants of the Shen family in the future..." Shen Yi clasped his palms together, rubbed Shen Lanqing's hands, and put them into his arms habitually, accidentally touching the wound, and frowned slightly, "After nine years old , there is only you in my world."

Sighing lightly, Shen Lanqing pulled out his palm, pressed his index finger on the center of Shen Yi's brow, and rubbed it calmly: "Brother, why do you..."

"I am willing." - This article was first published in Jinjiang Literature City

Shen Yi spoke calmly, and the deep friendship moved Shen Lanqing, but also made him feel powerless.

Being able to be selected by his father to be his playmate and entourage from among the shadow servants, there is no need to doubt his loyalty to the Shen family. Not to mention Shen Yi himself, even Shen Lanqing, who is watching coldly, can't tell what is in this friendship. How much is due to the habit of shadow waiters, and how much is due to the accumulated family relationship since childhood.

It's not surprising that Shen Yi would like him, he also likes Shen Yi.

The only difference is that he clearly knows that his liking for Shen Yi is not much different from his liking for his father and grandfather.

Shen Lanqing couldn't tell whether he would accept Shen Yi without the monarch's love for him, but he knew in his heart that with the monarch's heart, he would not and could not accept Shen Yi.

"Shen Yi, I like you too, this kind of liking goes beyond love."

"In your heart, I am more important than life, and in my heart you are also the same."

"I can go through fire and water for you, but I can't give you the response you expect, I..."

"... Treat you like a brother."

"Master wrote a letter a few days ago, saying..." Shen Lanqing looked at Shen Yi's rough and handsome eyebrows, and said softly, "Master said that he and Mr. Bai are getting old and weak, and urgently need an apprentice to do their filial piety. so……"

"You want to drive me away." Shen Yi had a dull face, his heart ached, and his hands trembled slightly.

Shen Lanqing held Shen Yi's hand back, pretending to be calm: "Why do you want to drive me away? The letter is under the pillow. If you don't believe me, you can read it for yourself."

"I believe."

"Senior brother, Shen's residence is your home, you can come back anytime..." Gently wiping the corners of Shen Yi's moist eyes with his fingertips, Shen Lanqing took out a bright red whistle, put it on his lips and blew, "I also like to blow the whistle A senior brother appeared in front of my eyes, but I don't want my senior brother to live only for me in this life, I shouldn't be the only one in your world."

"If there is someone else, I will still..." Shen Yi pursed his lips, and asked in a muffled voice, "I still like you, when I come back, can you give me a chance?"

"I..." Shen Lanqing choked slightly, "I don't know."

Silent.

Silently staring at the young man on the bed for a long time, his head tilted slightly, Shen Yi's lips touched the back of Shen Lanqing's hand reverently, his right arm resting on the edge of the bed, his upper body hovered over the young man, and he lowered his head tentatively...

On the roof, Shen Ting Hai held his breath, clenched his hands into fists, and stared at the two figures that were getting smaller and smaller in the gap, seeming to be more nervous than Shen Yi.

The two pairs of lips were about to overlap, but they heard a faint sound of breaking the sky and stepping on the eaves getting closer. Shen Tinghai stared angrily at the direction of the sound, but saw a mysterious figure stepping on the eaves, Lightly landed in the courtyard, another little foot, a rise and fall just landed in front of the half-closed window.

The lightness kung fu used by the visitor is obviously the unique skill of Yun Wuya, the unfeeling swordsman - the eagle spreads its wings.

Shen Tinghai lost all anger in an instant, his eyes lit up, staring at Xuan Ying, wishing he could immediately rush over to exchange greetings and politeness.

It's a pity that Xuan Ying didn't even look at him, but just looked into the window with cold eyes, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the window sash folded.
