love palace

The rays of the setting sun were extraordinarily rich, like molten gold, covering a corner of the dragon bed.

On the bed, a young man with a handsome face and reddish cheeks was sleeping deeply.The pillow was tilted to the side, and his long black hair was scattered on the side of the snow-white pillow, adding a bit of charm to him.

His fingers are long and slender, and the lines from fingertips to the bend of his arms are as graceful and flawless as sculptures.

That person has been standing by the bed, looking at the person in the bed.Finally unable to bear the temptation, he stretched out his hand and squeezed the boy's finger.

"Who?!" On the bed, Ke Weiqing turned over vigilantly, but quickly lay back on the bed, his face livid.

"You need to rest, don't get up so quickly." A peaceful voice sounded, Ke Weiqing looked up, and looked at the about 20-year-old young man in front of the bed with some surprise.

He was wearing the uniform of a medical officer from the Taiyuan Hospital, and he was still of the third rank!

"I'm Beidou, I met you this morning...but, you were sleepy at that time." Beidou smiled, revealing a pair of shallow dimples.

"Ah, you are that genius doctor?" It was far from the image of the gray-haired genius doctor Ke Weiqing thought.

"Yeah. I'm 120 years old."

"Huh?" He-haired childlike face?Is there really such a strange person?Ke Weiqing opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"You really believe it." Beidou shook his head, and the two black gauze hat wings moved, looking even more playful.

"Then you are...?"

"I'm twenty, only four years older than you." Beidou said nonchalantly.

"You are still so young..." He has already taken the official position of the former Royal Physician Yang.

With his hands behind his back, Beidou looked like an imperial doctor, and said solemnly, "Do you know your physique?"

"Cold?" Ke Weiqing recalled what the emperor said.

"That's what I lied to the emperor. I don't want to surprise him too much, and it's complicated to explain."

"Are you not afraid of the crime of bullying the king? That will be beheaded."

"I'm afraid. I can take everything back, except the head that fell off." Beidou looked up at Ke Weiqing.

"...?" Ke Weiqing also looked at his face.High forehead, straight nose and mouth.Light brown skin, set off by a pair of amber eyes, sparkling.

"It's just...forget it, let's talk about it later when you have it." Beidou said something, but stopped.

"What do you mean when you have it?" Ke Weiqing said in a daze.

"I don't have any now. It's useless to say it. I hate wasting words." Beidou obviously thought it was troublesome, but he added a few words, "However, there would be, but you have a fever, so the emperor washed you. , if you don’t want to be uncomfortable and you don’t want to ‘have it,’ cleanse afterward.”

"Cleaning?" Ke Weiqing didn't understand for a while, but after a while, he realized what to clean.His face immediately flushed red.

"Don't be embarrassed, clouds and rain are human nature." Beidou looked familiar, "After the fun, all the things left in it should be cleaned up."

"Please don't say it..." Ke Weiqing trembled with shame, and he didn't want to find out, what is there and what is gone?

"Well, one last thing, I applied the medicine for you, but I taught the emperor the steps, and he will follow suit in the future."

"There is no future..." Ke Weiqing didn't think Huang Ye would hug him again, it was just that he was greedy for novelty last night.

"This is not sure, take it." A beautifully wrapped small box was handed over.

"What is this?" Ke Weiqing opened the brocade box and found a pair of blue and white porcelain vases inside, with orchids painted on them, very delicate.

"The bottle on the left is pills. If you feel unwell, swallow two pills. It can prevent you from getting a fever and relax your body," Beidou said.

"right side?"

"It's for lubrication, so you and the emperor don't have to work so hard."

"...!" Ke Weiqing fell out of bed, is this man really an imperial doctor? !To say such a thing so shamelessly.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, I'm going to retreat first, the alchemy room is still refining medicine." Beidou just walked out without any report.

Ke Weiqing looked at the brocade box in his hand and felt that the emperor should not see it, but where should he hide it?

In the huge palace, apart from the big bed, gauze curtains, flowers, and incense burner, there is no other furniture.Of course, this can also prevent assassins from hiding.

Ke Weiqing looked around, and finally stuffed the palm-sized brocade box under the thick mattress, so it shouldn't be discovered, right?

At this time, Li Deyi came in and saw that Ke Weiqing had woken up, so he asked him if he wanted to pass the meal.

Ke Weiqing nodded, and Li Deyi recruited the eunuchs from the imperial dining room, and a lacquered golden flower dining table was brought in, followed by a dozen young eunuchs, all carrying red lacquer food boxes.

The two eunuchs who set the meal arranged silver bowls and chopsticks, as well as porcelain cups, plates, plates, and cups, and then brought out the dishes in the food box.

Each item has its own origin, whether it is a delicacy eaten at a wedding banquet, or a tribute from foreign envoys.There is a thick soup made of bird’s nest shreds, chicken shreds, and winter bamboo shoots, a plate of mutton and beef, egg yolk mille-feuille, and yogurt milk. There are more than 20 products in total, and the table is full.

"These are all given by the emperor, please pick up your chopsticks." Li Deyi said so, but the one who took the food for Ke Weiqing was the eunuch Bu Shan.

"I'll do it myself." Ke Weiqing declined the eunuch's help, Li Deyi smiled and said nothing, but waved his hand to let the eunuch Bu Shan go down.

"Eunuch Li, when can I go back to Oasis Palace?" Living in the emperor's bedroom is not an option.

"Well, the emperor didn't say it, and it's not easy for a slave to ask."

"Generally..." Ke Weiqing put down the chopsticks he just picked up and asked, "Generally speaking?"

"You mean usual. Your Majesty will return to the palace in a sedan chair in the morning. If you want to come back again, you have to wait for the emperor's call."

"Then I'll go back." Ke Weiqing said seriously, "Oasis Palace is not far from here."

"this……"

"I think the emperor will understand." Ke Weiqing picked up his rice bowl, picked up a few vegetarian dishes, and only had the strength to go back when he was full.

The emperor might be very angry... Li Deyi wanted to say it, but felt that Ke Weiqing would not listen to him, so he had to let him do it.

At night, after the emperor and the two prime ministers finished their discussions, they drove back to the palace and found that Ke Weiqing was no longer there, so he sent Li Deyi for questioning.

Li Deyi said tremblingly, the little prince insisted on going back, he really couldn't keep it, otherwise, he would invite him again?

"That's all." Huang Ye didn't expect to let it go, and said in a low voice, "It's better for him to stay in Ganquan Palace."

"Then which lady are you going to call tonight...?"

"No one is called, I want to review the memorial."

"Slave obeys the order." It seems that the emperor will sleep in the imperial study again tonight, Li Deyi thought to himself, and hurried to make arrangements.

Sitting on the dragon bed, Huang Ye casually grabbed the brocade quilt, which still had the fragrance of Ke Weiqing's body on it.

If he's still lying here, I'm afraid it will be... again tonight!Huang Ye sighed, never knew that his desire was so strong, as if he couldn't satisfy it no matter what he wanted, even he was a little scared.

Before Ke Weiqing fully recovered, he could only endure it forcefully, otherwise he would be hurt.Putting down the brocade quilt, Huang Ye stood up and left the empty bedroom without looking back.

※※※

Although there is still ice under the majestic palace eaves, people can clearly feel the arrival of early spring.In the air, it is no longer cold and windy, making people stomp their feet in the cold.

Today is the morning court on the first day of February. Princes, county kings, ministers of the first rank, officials of the lower ranks, and warriors all have to attend the pilgrimage.

"My lord, please."

On the square in front of the hall where Kuanke raced horses, there were all senior officials in official uniforms, and Zhao Guowei was pushed to the front as if being surrounded by stars, and he led everyone up the jade steps in an orderly manner.

Ke Weiqing was dressed in a navy blue silk armor, a short sword on his waist, and dark blue cloth boots on his feet. With his delicate features, this warrior attire looked even more handsome and unrestrained.

Some ministers peeked at him from time to time, is this the emperor's male favourite?His appearance is very depressing, but he is a man after all, how can he compare to the women in the harem, so charming and gorgeous, I don't understand how the emperor would fall in love with him?Maybe it was just a moment of fun.

It is not uncommon in Dayan Empress Palace to play with masculinity when tired of female sex.

Ke Xian was also in the queue, but he was the king of the third rank, so he had to walk in front. He didn't look back at Ke Weiqing, even if he knew that he had come to the court.

"This……"

"Ke Weiqing, come out and listen to the order." Huang Ye's voice pierced the court like a bell.

Standing in the last row, Ke Weiqing couldn't help but stand up. He has no experience in leading troops, but he has killed bandits alone.

"The minister is here."

"I ordered you to be the general of Pinglu Zhonglang, and lead two thousand troops to encircle and suppress the bandits. Are you willing?"

"The minister takes orders!"

"Very good." Huang Ye waved his hand, "Go down."

Ke Weiqing's forehead was covered with sweat, but he pretended to be relaxed and retreated to his seat.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Guowei suddenly said loudly.

"Why, do you still have something to discuss?" This is called a fat job, but if you don't do it well, you will die. Huang Ye doesn't think Zhao Guowei has to get it.

"Exactly!" Zhao Guowei raised the ivory wat in his hand and said, "I don't know yesterday, did you read the memorial presented by the old minister yesterday?"

"What's the matter?" Huang Ye reviewed hundreds of memorials every day, covering everything, but Zhao Guowei's was always the last to reply.

Because Zhao Guowei is getting older, his expeditions have decreased year by year, but his authority has increased day by day. He has won many good official positions for his disciples and nephews.His memorial, on the surface, seems to be righteous and loyal, but in fact it is full of private pockets, which is very ugly!

"On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Cowherd will meet the Weaver Girl. This is a very auspicious day." Zhao Guowei came here suddenly, but it was only the beginning of February.

"And then?" Huang Ye asked.

Zhao Guowei paused for a moment, and then said impassionedly, "I implore the emperor to marry the queen on this day, and welcome the mother of the country for my Dayan!"

Her words won everyone's nods of approval, Huang Ye has been on the throne for a long time, and there should be a queen, how can it be just a concubine?

"This matter of marriage is naturally left to the Queen Mother." Huang Ye frowned slightly, "You don't have to worry about it."

"Old minister obeys the order." Although Zhao Guowei did not get a substantive answer, victory was already in sight.

He has already taken care of the Empress Dowager Sun's side. On the Shengshou Festival next month, when celebrating the Empress Dowager's birthday, Princess Shuo Lan will be able to enter the palace in a legitimate manner.

After that, the Empress Dowager was able to win over the relationship between the emperor and Shuo Lan, allowing them to get married on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Because preparations were needed for the big wedding, so he brought it up at this time and reminded everyone.

No, every courtier is giving each other a wink. It seems that the day when Zhao Guowei becomes the uncle of a great country is not far away.

Even after they retreated from the court, they were still discussing, but they forgot about Ke Weiqing.

Standing in the corner of the court hall, Ke Weiqing was promoted from the fifth-rank garrison captain to the fourth-rank Pinglu Zhonglang in just half a month. Of course, he was surprised and grateful that the emperor was willing to promote him.

However, the big marriage proposal that followed made his chest feel oppressed again.

This is a great joy. Huang Ye is the king of the world, the father of all people, and it is only natural for the people to marry the mother of the country.

But Ke Weiqing couldn't be happy, his chest was stuffy, and when he was lowering his head and trying to relieve the depression in his heart, Zhao Guowei led a group of courtiers to him.

"Congratulations, you've been promoted so soon." Zhao Guowei's beard turned white, but his figure was still strong.

"The general dare not."

"In a few days, Shuo Lan will also enter the palace. At that time, I will ask you to take care of her." Zhao Guowei spoke politely, but his tone was irrefutable.

"Yes..." Ke Weiqing replied in a low voice.In fact, he hasn't seen the princess for many years, and the princess has never looked for him.Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Guowei bowed his hands and left.The ministers also left.

In Zhao Guowei's heart, of course there is only "Xiao Lan'er" as his grandchildren.This Ke Weiqing is just a tool for Zhao and Ke to reach the top together, and he is also a male favorite, so his attitude is naturally a bit contemptuous.

Feeling the contemptuous gaze, Ke Weiqing smiled wryly, and after cheering up, he went back to the camp and worked hard to wipe out the bandits.

※※※

When the night is deep, the stars are across the sky.Ke Weiqing rode his horse from the garrison barracks back to Ganquan Palace under the silvery starlight. Before he had time to dismount, he saw Li Deyi and a group of eunuchs waiting in front of the palace gate with lanterns.

"Little prince, you are back. The emperor summoned you, please come with me." Li Deyi said with a smile, making his eyes invisible.

"It's so late...the emperor didn't rest?" Ke Weiqing said in surprise. In two hours, it will be dawn.

"Yes." Li Deyi didn't say much, but he always had a smile on his face.

Ke Weiqing thought to himself that the reason for the emperor's urgent call in the middle of the night was probably to suppress the bandits in the morning.It happened that I also had something to ask Huang Ye, so I took the roster of soldiers and followed Li Deyi to Changchun Palace.

Palace lanterns are hung high, red candles are burning, and the room is clean of dust.

Huang Ye was wearing a black satin fur coat with broad shoulders.One arm was propped up leisurely, leaning on the white jade pillow of the dragon bed, and the other hand was holding an ancient chess record, which was one of the congratulatory gifts from Xia Guo during the birthday banquet.

Behind the brocade tent on the dragon bed, stood two slender court ladies.They held silver trays with emerald wine jugs and imperial cakes for the emperor to enjoy.

At this time, the bedroom was so quiet that only the sound of flipping books could be heard.From time to time, the maids looked at the resplendent and magnificent dragon bed. Huang Ye was handsome and mighty, and they were very excited to be honored to serve the emperor by his side!But he was very afraid of Emperor Wei, so he could only watch secretly, not daring to breathe.

Huang Ye looked at the chess record with relish, and when he was absorbed in it, he heard a burst of sharp footsteps outside the hall, and then Li Deyi walked in through the side door, knelt down and said, "Long live, Ke Weiqing is here."

"Let him in." Huang Ye sat up straight, and waved away the maid who was accompanying her.

"Your Majesty!" Ke Weiqing was dressed in a green cloth military uniform, holding a military book in his hand, kneeling ten steps away from the dragon bed.

"No courtesy, come here." Huang Ye saw Ke Weiqing's handsome and heroic appearance, and his heart was surging.

In the court meeting in the morning, Ke Weiqing was at the bottom because of his low official position. Even though he was so far away, he could still notice his upright posture.

In terms of the age when he ascended to the court at the age of 16, Ke Weiqing is the youngest official in history, but he is also the most humble and humble one.Huang Ye noticed that no matter how other officials ignored and despised him, he could remain calm and concentrate on court affairs.

Speaking of those senior officials who were thinking about how to make profits for themselves as soon as they entered the palace, Ke Weiqing was like a green lotus that emerged from the mud and was not stained.

"I'm going to hug him tonight." Huang Ye made such a decision when he went down to court.

However, it is not easy to find Ke Weiqing. Although he has such a good residence as Ganquan Palace, Ke Weiqing has been staying in the military camp and rarely goes back to live.

According to Li Deyi's report, these days, Ke Weiqing has been buried in his official business, and today he received the imperial decree to suppress the bandits, and he probably won't come back until late at night.

Huang Ye didn't want to send someone to the barracks to find him, it would cause criticism.So I waited patiently all night, and finally waited for him.It's just that Ke Weiqing's dull appearance obviously didn't understand why he asked him to meet late at night?

"Your Majesty?" Ke Weiqing originally took two steps forward, but when he saw a dragon and phoenix brocade spread out on the dragon bed, he was startled and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Huang Ye asked knowingly.

"Your Majesty, can you go to the Imperial Study Room...?" Ke Weiqing's cheeks began to burn, he lowered his head, trying to maintain a calm mind, of course, it would be better to go to the Imperial Study Room when discussing matters.

"Oh? You want to do it in the imperial study? I don't mind."

"Eh?" Ke Weiqing looked up in astonishment.

"I recruited you as a servant. You want to go to the imperial study, which is beyond my expectations." Huang Ye smiled, and stared straight at Ke Weiqing, who was in a state of panic, with burning black eyes.

"No, no! I thought you wanted to read the military book..." Ke Weiqing's face turned red, his tongue was also stiff, he took two steps back, but Huang Ye stopped him.

"Don't run away." Huang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile disappeared from his handsome face.Companion to a king is like a tiger, which is the most true portrayal at this moment.

"Your Majesty, please spare me..." Ke Weiqing could not walk, nor could he kneel, he could only stand where he was and beg for mercy.

"Wait a while, sometimes you beg for mercy. Now, take off your clothes and come here." Huang Ye patted the pillow beside him and urged in a low voice, "Hurry up."

"This...?!" Ke Weiqing's shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably again, the military book in his hand was tightly pinched, and the cover was almost torn.

"You want to resist the edict? Li De..." Huang Ye made a gesture to announce the eunuch.

"No! Your majesty, minister, minister..."

If Li Deyi comes in, he will definitely bring other inner eunuchs. Huang Ye threatened him last time that the eunuchs would forcibly remove his clothes, open his legs, and illuminate every corner of his body with palace lanterns, so that They told him that he hadn't hidden any weapons, and asked him to go to bed step by step.

When the harem concubines entered the bedroom, they were all naked, only wrapped in felt.

But Ke Weiqing was the male favourite, and he was the only one, so Li Deyi draped an almost transparent silk gown on him ingeniously instead of heavy felt.

Logically speaking, it should be like this every time you go to bed, after all, the palace rules are strict.But Huang Ye didn't want others to touch Ke Weiqing's body, not even an eunuch.So, Ke Weiqing was summoned directly.

When Ke Weiqing took off the cloth armor tremblingly, he tried his best to restrain the urge to escape. Maybe the emperor would let him go like this, because the sky is about to dawn, and tomorrow he will go to court early.

Thinking of this, the silk belt was slowly untied, and the clothes fell to the ground, forming a vortex, with the military book on it.

When only the snow-white obscene clothes and trousers were left, Ke Weiqing stopped.Even though the palace was very warm, he was still shivering slightly from the cold.

"Take them all off!" Huang Ye's voice was sweet, but at this moment, it only deepened the chill.

"..." Ke Weiqing bit her lower lip and tore off her top, revealing her ivory white skin and two tender spots on her chest.

Then, silently, he lowered his head, bent over, and pulled down his trousers. After taking off all of them, he put his hands in front of him.
