Shuoyun Feidu

Winter came earlier this year, and the weather in November was colder than usual. In the early hours of the morning, Beijing was mostly quiet.

The huge imperial city is still shrouded in the light before dawn, like a sleeping giant beast, but at this time, the Xuanzheng Hall, which symbolizes the highest power center in Daqing, is already brightly lit. On the dozens of steps outside the hall, straight Standing guards in full armor, many civil and military ministers gathered in groups of three or four, talking in low voices. These people each had their own circles, whispering and discussing government affairs in one place, and there was not a single person among them. There was a lot of noise, and not long after, the officials on the periphery suddenly became a little agitated, and they gave way, and saw a young man wearing a royal uniform and a golden crown, walking slowly towards this side.

When Beitang Rongdu approached the Xuanzheng Hall, he saw that many ministers were already waiting in front of the hall. In the thin night, the complicated pro-dynasty uniforms were particularly conspicuous among the many costumes. When everyone saw him approaching, they all smiled. Cupping his hands and saluting, Beitang Rongdu also nodded slightly, which was regarded as a return of the salute, and did not attract more people's attention. He just went straight to the front of the line and stood still, waiting for the morning to come. The performance was the same as usual, but the officials cast their gazes over from time to time and whispered in a very low voice. Obviously, although Beitang Zunyue didn't say anything about the establishment of the reserve recently, the various events in the past few days The signs have already indicated a certain wind direction, which seems to be self-evident. Anyone who is a little sensitive to politics in the court has already smelled a special smell. Just a little bit different from the past.

Soon, the rest of the officials arrived one after another, and when they bowed their hands to Beitang Rongdu, they were even more respectful. One of the handsome young officials looked at Beitang Rongdu in the crowd, There was a look of concern in his eyes, it was Zhong Yu, but although he had always had a close relationship with Beitang Rongdu, it was only in private, no one knew about it on the surface, and he didn't communicate with Qinggong in the open on weekdays. Walking around in the opposite direction, so it is not easy to come forward at the moment, showing too close, Beitang Rong Du's handsome face maintains a just right faint smile, and the thick and luxurious royal robe is wrapped around his tall body, I don't know why, But it made him look a little thin. At this moment, someone came to Beitang Rongdu and said with a smile: "...The prince came early. Recently, the prince is not feeling well. He has not shown up for two court meetings. Healed up." This middle-aged man has a well-built appearance and a beard under his chin. He looks like he is in his early fifties, but he is the biological father of the Mu brothers and sisters, Mu Shanghai, and the father-in-law of Beitang Rongdu. Du's father-in-law, but the superiority and inferiority still cannot be confused, so he saluted with a smile, Beitang Zunyue naturally would not be negligent, and pretended to help the other party's elbow, saying: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much." Ritual." In fact, the reason why Beitang Rongdu has been sick twice in the past three days and did not attend the court meeting is because Beitang Zunyue intimidated him a while ago, which made it difficult for him to move. It's much better, and Beitang Rongdu knew in advance that today's court meeting is quite different and very important, so he came here, but these things can't be explained by outsiders, so Beitang Rongdu just smiled, Said: "...This king just catches a cold occasionally, but it doesn't matter. After taking a few medicines, there is no serious problem."

Also coming with Mu Shanghai was Yin Zhibai, wearing a purple marquis suit, looking at Beitang Rongdu in front of him. Even though Beitang Rongdu's face was slightly pale by the cold wind at this moment, he was still very handsome, with every gesture. There is a faint royal style, with its own majesty, and then thinking that Beitang Rongdu is the eldest son of Beitang Zunyue and has grown up, whether it is the achievements of working hard with Beitang Zunyue back then or his own ability now They all have enough capital to become the prince of the Daqing Dynasty, and as a steadfast supporter, I couldn't help but feel a lot of joy in my heart, and said: "...Since the prince has just recovered from illness, he should pay more attention. "Beitang Rongdu smiled and said jokingly: "According to what you said, it makes me look weak."

The three of them were talking, when they suddenly heard the sound of music coming from a distance, it was the holy car who was approaching, and then the three-way drum sounded, and a group of guards in bright armor sandwiched the imperial road, with solemn faces, and quickly divided into two They lined up in a row, armed with swords, full of majesty. Seeing this, all the ministers quickly stood still, stretched out their hands to adjust their clothes, and saw the door of the Xuanzheng Palace slowly opened, and a servant in red robes came out from inside, standing in front of the steps. After sweeping it briefly, he raised his voice and proclaimed to the crowd: "...Your Majesty, in the early court, was listed as a minister and worker, and entered the palace to see—!"

As soon as the voice fell, all the civil and military personnel filed in from the left and right gates. According to the level of rank, Wen Dongwu and Xidi were lined up in two shifts, and they stood solemnly. The guards flanked Danbi to escort him. At this moment, the hall was completely silent, and all the civil and military officials stood in silence. He only heard a long shout of "The Holy Majesty is here". From the appearance, Beitang Zunyue looks about 24 or [-] years old. He is tall and tall, with a stern complexion. He is already very powerful with his gestures, and his whole person exudes a dignified and domineering air. Beitang Rongdu raised his eyes and glanced upwards, and then bowed his head together with the other ministers. After Beitang Zunyue took his seat, everyone prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting long live, and Beitang Zunyue raised his hand from the top position , indicating that the court meeting would start here, and after Baiguan got up, Beitang Zunyue was straight to the point, without a word of extraneous words, just squinted slightly, and lightly tapped the cold gold handrail with his hands, the moment he opened his mouth, he had an imposing manner, which made people feel uncomfortable. The civil and military officials at the head all shuddered involuntarily, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "...it has been almost a year since I ascended the throne. Therefore, it should be established as a crown prince early to calm people's hearts." When Beitang Zunyue said this, he paused for a moment, did not rush to speak, and only glanced at the courtiers below, and then obviously Pausing on Beitang Rongdu who was standing in front of him, he leaned his tall body back a little, adjusted into the most comfortable posture, and ordered an internal officer behind him: "... Declare the decree."

The inner officer got the order, and immediately walked to the front from behind the right side of Beitang Zunyue, holding a yellow shaft respectfully in his hand, and between uncovering and unfolding, he opened the imperial edict, Lang Lang read: " …Following the destiny of the heavens, the emperor issued an edict saying: Only tell the heavens and the earth, since ancient times, the emperors have inherited the heavens and set up the poles, and Shaoji has established a system. Consoling the hope of the subjects. Since ancient times, the state has built a reserve, and the etiquette follows the eldest son, so the foundation of the world lies. Today, I am a family member of the lotus, and I have the eldest son of the descendant. , the eldest son Beitang Rongdu is respectful and respectful, and I bow late at night, and he will be able to inherit the great rule. Now he is the crown prince, and he should be promulgated by the Ming Dynasty, and the salty envoy will know him. He will order the Ministry of Rites to carefully examine the ceremony and choose an auspicious date. Gu Zou, hereby!"

The first hundred officials listened respectfully at first, and everyone has faintly sensed the direction of the wind recently, so they were not very surprised when they heard that the decree of the crown prince was promulgated, but when they heard the word "eldest son", someone They couldn't help exchanging glances in private, and during the entire process of reading the imperial decree, in the main hall, Beitang Zunyue sat on the throne, with his hands flat on the armrests on both sides, his eyes slightly closed, and he said nothing. It seems that he is closing his eyes and resting his mind. In fact, Beitang Rongdu's status has always been somewhat embarrassing. Although he is the eldest son of Beitang Zunyue, his biological mother has never had an exact identity. Under the premise that Beitang Zunyue did not chase after the queen, why did he put the words "the eldest son" on the table, but no matter what, since the imperial decree has been issued today, it is certain that Beitang Rong Du Di's eldest son's honorable status, so all the officials have a spectrum in their hearts. As for Beitang Rongdu, although he already knew about the appointment of himself as the prince, when he really heard the will at this moment, he still felt a little bit emotional. Fluctuating, he stepped forward, bowed down and said in a loud voice: "...my minister leads the decree." After finishing speaking, he was about to retreat to the team, but at this moment, Beitang Zunyue suddenly opened his eyes, Throwing downwards, enveloping Beitang Rongdu inside, suddenly the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, and he signaled: "...Rongdu, come up."

Beitang Rongdu was startled for a moment, then bowed slightly, said "yes", and then walked towards the head. At this time, there were countless lamps in the hall, and they lined up from the bottom of the throne to the entrance of the hall, covering the entire Xuanzheng Hall. It was as bright as day, and Beitang Zunyue was sitting alone on the red gold Kowloon throne, wearing a crown that reached the sky, and the expression on his face was extremely peaceful. I don't know what he was thinking, Beitang Rongdu didn't know Why, suddenly there was a strange feeling slowly rising in his heart, as his feet approached, getting closer and closer to Beitang Zun, Beitang Rongdu felt a sudden indescribable sense of erratic in his heart, There was a flickering candlelight in front of him, and the fragrance was endless. The inside and outside of the Xuanzheng Hall seemed to have become quiet. Beitang Rongdu could clearly feel that there were countless pairs of eyes behind him. His eyes were all intertwined on his back, and Beitang Zunyue, who was perched on the dragon chair, was wearing a Chinese robe and his hair was like lacquer ink, sitting quietly, as if fused with the main hall, A pair of long phoenix eyes were hidden behind the twelve white jade beads hanging in front of him, the whole person remained motionless, restraining the incomparable majesty and majesty possessed by the emperor just now, it looked like Just like an ordinary handsome man, Beitang Rongdu climbed up the steps. Seeing this scene, his heart jumped twice for no reason, just like the scene when he saw Beitang Zunyue for the first time.

As if he had sensed the subtle thoughts in Beitang Rongdu's mind at this moment, the tall figure of the man who had been sitting upright seemed to move slightly, and then, Beitang Zunyue patted his body lightly. The red gold armrest on the side suddenly stood up slowly from the throne without warning, and then stepped down, step by step, approaching the Beitang Rongdu who had already climbed up to the White Jade Pill, in a trance, as if Like a god, overlooking the living beings under the clouds, from those golden eyes, he couldn't dig out any clearly understandable content. He just stared at Beitang Rongdu standing in front of him, without saying a word. Fat, as if waiting for something, not long after, the officials below seemed to feel something strange, and they all looked at the head one by one. Beitang Rongdu clearly noticed the eyes behind him, and his face moved slightly, as if he understood Knowing the meaning of Beitang Zunyue, the next moment, Beitang Rongdu regained his composure, and then slowly knelt down towards this man, his knees really touched the thick scarlet carpet, and bowed his head. Kneeling in front of Beitang Zunyue, expressing complete surrender, it stands to reason that this kind of bowing posture is generally rare between emperors and princes, but at this moment, Beitang Rongdu has no reason Knowing that you have to do this.

One hand was placed heavily on Beitang Rongdu's left shoulder. Looking from Beitang Rongdu's angle, one could only see a pair of soap-colored seawater cloud dragon boots exposed from the hem of the shining golden dragon robe. Beitang Zunyue's The voice sounded from the top of the head, as if it came from the clouds: "...My son, don't let me down." Beitang Rongdu lowered his eyes, and slowly opened his mouth to respond: "My son, please remember."

After the dynasty was dispersed, many civil and military ministers congratulated Beitang Rongdu one after another, and then left one after another in twos and threes. Beitang Rongdu had dealt with a group of people and was about to walk out of the Xuanzheng Hall, but Beitang Zunyue's personal eunuch came over with a full face. He smiled and invited him to Qianying Palace.

The hall was quiet and spacious, outside the hall a few eunuchs and maids were waiting with their hands down, there was no movement at all, but there was only Beitang Rongdu standing quietly in the middle, the snow outside the window had not yet melted, the sun had already risen, and the crowd The fragrance of the palace filled the air, exuding a sense of relaxation that made the whole body soft. Not long after, after a long silence, I finally heard the outside door being pushed open with a 'creak', as if someone came in quietly, a voice Yuanyuan said: "... Du'er." Beitang Rongdu turned his head and saw Beitang Zunyue standing more than ten feet away. Looking at the huge blood ruby, due to the distance, Beitang Rongdu couldn't see the expression in the man's eyes clearly, only heard Beitang Zunyue's voice was quite relaxed, Beitang Rongdu gave a soft 'huh', As a response, seeing Beitang Zun Yue walking towards this side, he hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickered like a small flame, and he also went forward, with a smile on his mouth, and said: "...how did you let me wait so long."

The white smoke from burning sandalwood lingers in the hall, like a faint mist. Since the last attempt to steal the key at Rongdu in Beitang, the father and son have tacitly understood some subtle changes between each other. But Beitang Zunyue stretched out his arms to hug Beitang Rongdu in front of him, and still said softly: "I just changed a piece of clothes and drank some water, and you feel impatient... so I'm impatient, eh?" Beitang Rongdu calmed down, smiled lightly, and said the answer, and there was no emotion in his tone that should not be mixed, he just said: "You know, my Patience has never been very good, what can I do?" Beitang Venerable stared at Beitang Rongdu for a long time, stroked his jet-black hair, with a distant and gentle expression, and said: "...Is that so, in the future, I will always have to grind It's good to sharpen your temper." There was so much affection in the man's words, Beitang Rongdu slightly turned his head away, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can do whatever you want." Then he said: "... just now people Call me over, what's the matter?"

Beitang Zunyue took Beitang Rongdu's hand, walked towards the window, and said: "...Could it be that I can't call you if I have nothing to do?" Beitang Rongdu lowered his head and smiled, and followed him: "I never said that." The two stood by the window for a moment, Beitang Zunyue surrounded Beitang Rongdu behind him, stood quietly for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed his lover's earlobe, and asked: "... …I didn’t realize how happy you are in the courtroom today.” The heavy royal clothes were covered with pearls and jade, and the body seemed a little heavy and hot, Beitang Zunyue’s hug was not so tight, but it was firm enough. As if embracing a treasure, for fear of losing it, Beitang Rongdu paused for a moment, then slightly turned his head, glanced at Beitang Zunyue, and said, "Because we said this in advance. , since I already knew it, how can there be any surprises." Beitang Zun became more noncommittal, silently sniffing the fragrance of his son, lowering his eyes slightly, and after a while, asked Beitang Rongdu: "Tell me, Are you speaking the truth, are you still angry with me and brooding over it?"

The white jade-like face of Beitang Rongdu flickered in the thin light of the morning, and sighed: "Why am I angry with you... There is something wrong with you and me, I stole the key to make you angry. First of all, you later treated me like that, and you said that both sides did something wrong, so there is nothing to say." Beitang Zunyue listened carefully, then slowly stroked Beitang Rongdu's waist with his hands, and said softly "Rongdu, I know that you may think that I am irritable, unkind, and even cruel, but you have to understand that everything I have done is because I have you in my heart and care too much about you, so I did it." It will be like this." When Beitang Zunyue mentioned the emotional part, tenderness also gathered in his eyes: "Rong Du, maybe you will think that I have changed and become ruthless, but I can tell you very clearly, It has never changed, and it has never changed for you, I swear... If not, then call me—"

Beitang Zunyue had only spoken halfway, when Beitang Rongdu hastily covered his mouth with his hands, stuffing all the words that were too late to say back into his throat, and at the same time subconsciously scolded: "... ...Bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, and immediately lowered his eyes, his face was a little embarrassed, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but Beitang Zunyue was already a step ahead He grabbed the white palm, held it firmly in his palm, and pressed his forehead against Beitang Rongdu's smooth forehead, as if he had succeeded in something, a wanton smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, both proud and joyful. He whispered: "...you still care about me, don't you? You don't even want to let me make a poisonous oath, am I right?" Beitang Rongdu suddenly stopped breathing for a moment, his face was thin The fluff of the man's hair was gently blown by the hot breath of the man close at hand, and his body seemed to be stiff. For a moment, something stirred from the bottom of his heart, and a trace of darkness gradually appeared in his eyes, and he said slowly: "You lied to me on purpose again, You're bullying me again...is it really so fun to bully me?" Beitang Zunyue heard that the tone in the words was a bit weird, so he restrained the frivolous smile on his face, and put his hand on Beitang Rongdu's shoulder , Admitting the mistake: "Okay, just now I was a little..."

Before he finished speaking, Beitang Rongdu suddenly broke away from the man's hand, Beitang Zunyue was slightly taken aback, and just about to say something, he was punched firmly in the chest, Beitang Rongdu tightened his grip Pursing his lips, his face was covered with a thin layer of grievance and anger, Beitang Zun Yue's narrow and long eyes showed a slight look of surprise, but the next moment, he seemed to be relieved, and there was no expression in his eyes. With an air of concern, he didn't speak, nor did he avoid it, but let Beitang Rongdu's fists rain down on his strong chest, beating indiscriminately, he didn't have the true energy to protect his body, Beitang Rongdu didn't use his internal strength either, but he felt a little pain after being beaten continuously by a young man, but Beitang Zunyue didn't intend to order Beitang Rongdu to stop at all, he knew Beitang Rongdu didn't really beat him because of his behavior just now, but vented about the behavior he forced to have a relationship with him... In the end, Beitang Rongdu might be a little tired from the beating, slightly Panting, Beitang Zunyue ignored Beitang Rongdu's resistance and hugged him into his arms. Beitang Rongdu struggled a few times, but couldn't break free, and simply bit the edge of Beitang Zunyue's neck. Tang Zunyue only felt a pain, probably because his son's sharp teeth bit his flesh.

The father and son were so close together, standing in front of the window, Beitang Rongdu slowly loosened his teeth, began to adjust his breath, and gradually calmed down in Beitang Zunyue's arms, but for a moment he didn't know what he should do. Shouldn't face this man again, he couldn't help but fell silent, and after a while, Beitang Zunyue smiled slightly on the corner of his lips, and firmly hugged Beitang Rongdu's stiff body, his voice was low and mixed With three points of gentleness, he said: "...are you still angry?" Beitang Rongdu's eyes were full of complexities, and he didn't expect that he would uncontrollably bite Beitang Zunyue's neck just now, and there was still something in his mouth. There was a faint smell of blood. Hearing the man's words at this time, his red lips subconsciously moved a few times, but he didn't make a sound, and refused to answer the other party's words, but Beitang Zunyue's patience seemed endless, and his temper was so good Unexpectedly, he sighed, stretched out his hands to hold the frowning Beitang Rongdu's face, and said, "Okay, I've already given you a good beating to vent your anger, isn't that okay? Or, just give me a few more beatings, okay?" ?”

Beitang Rongdu turned his head away, without looking up at Beitang Zunyue, took a deep breath, and said in a flat tone, "I'm too lazy to hit you..." Beitang Zunyue forced his face away and knocked him Turning around again, letting him look at him, he felt a little helpless in his heart, and said, "Still annoyed, huh?" The blush on his face has receded, his eyes seemed resentful and resentful, and he looked a little hurt, and he stubbornly remained silent. The more Beitang Venerable saw this, a thoughtful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his pupils were deep and deep, and the palm of his hand Gently stroking Beitang Rongdu's back, he softly comforted him: "You have been holding your breath since a while ago, but today you have let it out, isn't it a lot more comfortable?" Beitang Rongdu pushed the man a few times Pushing down, without pushing away, after a long while, he finally breathed a little fast and said: "I hate you...you are the one I hate the most."

"...Well, anyway, I always do some disgraceful things, so it's okay if you want to scold me." Such childish words made Beitang Zunyue not only not annoyed, but laughed instead. It hurt a little, but Beitang Zunyue didn't care, he just hugged Beitang Rongdu and kissed that white forehead. He knew that whether he was a father or a lover, he was now in his son's mind There was a layer of gloom in the middle, how many times he still wanted to get close to Beitang Rongdu as before, but the other party's inadvertent estrangement would occasionally reject his heart thousands of miles away, but even so, he It is also impossible not to love this person, not to think about the other person, just because this child is his raised son, his bone, his blood, his beloved lover, everything he does is for the sake of Beitang Rongdu, and he also believes that, no matter what, Beitang Rongdu also has deep feelings for him... Beitang Zunyue's eyes were gentle, and he said: "Then, now that you are done fighting, you must give me a good face, right? "

Beitang Rongdu was hugged warmly by the man, listening to the other person's words, for some reason, his body seemed to be boiled in boiling water, so soft that he didn't have much strength, let alone break free from Beitang. The shackles of Zunyue have lasted for a long time. He didn't know whether he should be happy for himself or feel sad about it. In Beitang Rongdu's mind, love should be a very warm and beautiful word, but this person who is connected with his flesh and blood The man, in the name of loving him, did a lot of things that he couldn't accept, made him experience unbelievable scenes, and suddenly woke up in such a cruel and cruel scene, but the most frightening and helpless thing was that he had already Just in this relationship, there is no redemption, no matter what, I can't get rid of my love and dependence on Beitang Zunyue... Beitang Rongdu lowered his eyelashes, and finally said: "...just now, I didn't break you just now Forget it..." Beitang Zun Yue smiled lowly, and said, "Why didn't it break, I dare say that you must have caused a lot of bruises on my body... I still feel pain now." Beitang Tang Rongdu turned his face slightly uncomfortably, and said, "Who told you that you didn't use zhenqi to protect your body, you asked for it."

Beitang Venerable chuckled more and more, and said softly: "What if I use my true energy and hurt your hand?" Before Beitang Rongdu could speak, a slender finger had already lifted Beitang's hand. Under Tang Rongdu's chin, Beitang Venerable looked at the other person's face more carefully, and said, "It hurts to see such an aggrieved look..." Beitang Rongdu covered his ears with both hands, completely He refused to listen: "...It's so disgusting!" Beitang Zunyue just smiled softly, but at the same time he also firmly opened Beitang Rongdu's hands covering his ears bit by bit, and put his lips together. Next to the son's ear, the soft voice continued: "You still like disgusting, don't you?"

Beitang Rongdu was silent for a long time, then suddenly covered his face with one hand, hehe said: "Yes, I have been in your hands for the rest of my life, life and death are all yours... I won't go anymore, from head to toe, from inside to outside, it belongs to you, and it will always be." Beitang Zunyue heard the words, and finally smiled complacently, hugged Beitang Rongdu contentedly, and gently kissed his lips—

After Beitang Rongdu returned to the Qing Palace, all the court ladies and eunuchs looked beaming all the way. Apparently, the news that the crown prince was going to be registered at the court meeting had already been reported. Beitang Rongdu let out a long breath, and said He didn't have much sense of joy, what happened today made him a little bit tired, in front of Beitang Zunyue, he was [-]% real, [-]% acting, until now when he came back, he was completely relaxed.

When he arrived at his bedroom, Beitang Rongdu had just entered, but he saw Cuiping smiling and leading people to greet him, he saluted and said, "Congratulations, my lord, today is a double blessing." Beitang Rongdu was slightly taken aback, Said: "...why?" Cuiping smiled and told him the news: "Shortly after the prince went to court, Concubine Xie suffered from abdominal pain. She just gave birth to a little prince. Both mother and child are safe."

Beitang Rongdu was startled, and without saying anything, he went out of the bedroom and rushed towards Concubine Xie. Not long after, Beitang Rongdu arrived at Concubine Xie's residence, only to see Shen Hanyan and the other two side by side. The concubines were all there, and when Shen Hanyan saw Beitang Rongdu coming, he and the second concubine first congratulated him on his upcoming appointment as the crown prince, and then smiled and said: "Beitang, our palace now has a new population." As he said that, he ordered someone to bring the newborn over. A moment later, the nurse walked out of the inner room with a baby in his arms. He reached out and took the child.

What came into view was a small face with slightly wrinkled pink skin and thinning hair on top of his head. Beitang Rongdu watched his son slamming his small mouth, and a strange but familiar feeling of flesh and blood was in his eyes. My heart rose, followed by a complex faint emotion.

[...Mother, after more than ten years, Rongdu and you finally meet again...]
