The king is not in the early court, the second is to gamble with the emperor

In the early morning of the next day, the eunuch yelled several times at the gate of the palace, but the emperor didn't see the emperor get up, boldly pushed the door and entered, but saw the dragon's hand slightly waving in the dragon tent, and quickly bent over and retreated out.

Unknowingly, it was already dawn, and the ministers in the court were discussing a lot. The queen mother knew that the emperor did not go to the court early, and even sent a eunuch to invite someone.

"What day is it?" Bai Muyan, who had just woken up, hadn't realized that it had been dawn for a long time, holding his head aching from the hangover, his mind was blank.

"Fifth watch, does the emperor want to sleep again?" Xiao Bieli got up immediately and helped him change his clothes.

Should he remind Mu Yan of what happened last night?

...No, it's better to let Mu Yan think of it by himself, so as not to talk about Hong E again...

Thinking back to the kiss last night, the first kiss between them, he had fantasized about it for several years, but he didn't expect it to happen under such circumstances.

I don't know how Mu Yan feels, does he like it or hate it?

"Xiao Bieli, you...why are you in my bedroom?" Bai Muyan's body trembled a little, the feeling of Xiao Bieli leaning against his side was so familiar, he seemed to remember something.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten last night..." Xiao Bieli seemed hesitant to speak, and his big hand was caressing his waist.

It's the most suitable time to pretend to be stupid, Mu Yan must be angry, it seems that he was too impatient last night.

"Bold, you dare to insult me!" After Xiao Bieli's words, Bai Muyan finally remembered something, he shouted, and slapped him, but Xiao Bieli blocked him.

Xiao Bieli kissed him forcefully!Damn it, how could he do such a thing that violated the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers!

Although he was very angry, the strange thing was that he didn't feel disgusted. Even though Xiao Bieli was the same man as him, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all...

"Your Majesty, this is not an insult. I have admired my Majesty for a long time, but my Majesty never puts me in my eyes, and wants to give me a marriage. I really have no choice but to dare to offend him in order to show my heart." Waist, Xiao Bieli looked at Bai Muyan with sincere emotion in his eyes.

He fell in love with Mu Yan from the first time he met him at the age of eight.When he was young, he simply liked him and wanted to see him every day, but as he grew older, he didn't realize that his feelings for Mu Yan had already turned into love until he understood the relationship between men and women at the age of 16.

"I'm not a woman, I can't bear your love." Bai Muyan frowned, and put his arm between the two, not letting him approach.

This remark reminded him of when he first met Xiao Bieli when he was a child, Xiao Bieli regarded him as a woman, and immediately felt unhappy.

He is a majestic seven-foot man, and now he is even more honored as an emperor, but he is treated as frivolous by his courtiers as a woman, which is too much!

Even if Xiao Bieli likes him, it is impossible for him to change anything for Xiao Bieli. With his playful personality, who knows if what he said is true or not, maybe he is just teasing himself again.

He would never do something demeaning and make the empress sad, and he didn't want his emperor's dignity to be forgotten because of Xiao Bieli's words.

"I know that the emperor is not a woman, but I still like the emperor. As long as the emperor does not abandon me, I am willing to stay by the emperor's side forever."

Hearing such words, Bai Muyan's heart throbbed for a while, and he was inexplicably moved by these words. His eyes were so sincere, he didn't seem to be lying at all...

But the harmony between the monarch and his ministers is what he should cherish. Bai Muyan does not want any changes between the two of them. He believes that Xiao Bieli will be his good subject and be loyal to him forever. That's enough!

"Shut up, I don't like men. Nian is an important minister of my court for two generations in your family. I will pretend that what happened today has never happened, and leave the palace as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you." The eunuch waiting outside the door waited for a long time, but the Emperor did not come out, so he walked around in a hurry outside the hall.

"Okay, I got it." Adjusting his clothes, Bai Muyan didn't want to say anything more, and pushed Xiao Bieli away expressionlessly, and walked out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, I am sincere to you."

"Needless to say, if you want to annoy me again, just stay here." Flicking his sleeves, Bai Muyan snorted coldly and walked out of the palace door.

After a while, Xiao Bieli just got up, gritted his teeth and left the bedroom.

Mu Yan, I will not give up, I want you to understand that only I, Xiao Bieli, are worthy of you in this world!

◇

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager is sipping fragrant tea, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Emperor.

"Queen Mother, the emperor greets you." Bai Muyan in the golden crown and dragon robe strode in, bowing his head to the queen mother with a little tiredness in the corners of his eyes.

"Excuse me, the emperor, sit here."

As soon as Bai Muyan sat down, the Empress Dowager said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you are skipping the morning court today?"

"Yes, the review of the memorial last night was late at night, and the morning was late, so the early court was dismissed. The scholarly family." Somewhat guilty, Bai Muyan touched the tip of his nose.

After being abducted by Xiao Bieli and taken out of the palace before, he got up late several times the next day. Last night was the first time since he became the throne, and he didn't expect things to become so big.

He didn't blame Xiao Bieli for avoiding the morning court for him, it was indeed absurd last night, and he is still sleepy, it seems that he can no longer go out of the palace privately like this in the future.

"Oh, the emperor is working so hard, what are those ministers doing, why don't they help the emperor?" The queen mother suddenly put the teacup on the table and made a loud noise.

"I heard what my mother said, the memorial must be reviewed by me personally, and no one else can do it. Even if they want to help, they can't help." Bai Muyan laughed again and again.

He didn't dare to say that he was a wise ruler, but he absolutely didn't want to be a foolish ruler. Otherwise, why would he have to review the memorials himself?

It's just that when he thinks about last night and Xiao Bieli's kiss, his words are indeed a bit serious this morning, but he's not really that angry, it's just that it's very sudden...

"It's really a blessing for the people that the emperor is so diligent, but Ai's family heard that the emperor often went out of the palace privately before. Could it be that someone taught the emperor to be bad, and yesterday..."

Bai Muyan understood what the Empress Dowager meant, but he shook his head again and again, not intending to admit it.

"What's the matter, don't listen to the gossip, Queen Mother."

Xiao Bieli is his prime minister, if something happened to Xiao Bieli, he could hardly absolve himself of the blame, not to mention that he disobeyed his mother's wishes and made Xiao Bieli his prime minister. own slap.

"Whether it's slander or not, we'll know right away. Come on, please invite Prime Minister Xiao in soon." The queen mother stared with phoenix eyes, faintly angry.

"Mother!" Bai Muyan yelled uncontrollably.

Xiao Bieli walked in from outside the hall with a gloomy expression, and the man who entered after him was Guojiu.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Bai Muyan was taken aback.

"Back to the emperor, this minister is here to pay his respects to the queen mother." The uncle Guo respectfully saluted him, then stepped aside and stopped talking.

Xiao Bieli had just entered the hall, when he raised his eyes to see Bai Muyan, his puzzlement was instantly wiped away.

"Does the emperor still deny it? A few years ago, the emperor and Prime Minister Xiao were punished by the late emperor for going out of the palace privately. Prime Minister Xiao also left the emperor's bedroom this morning. I'm afraid he brought the emperor out of the palace privately again. The family saw that the emperor was not to be moved, so they sent the uncle of the country, but unexpectedly caught him, the Ai family will not spare him this time." The queen mother slapped her hand heavily on the table, Feng Yan was furious.

"Yes, I'm out of the palace. Is the queen mother going to blame me? お稥" Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Bai Muyan simply admitted.

He is the king of a country, and the whole world belongs to him, but he just went out of the palace. Does the queen mother still punish him for this?

"What did the emperor say, why would the queen mother blame you? The queen mother is just worried that someone will teach the emperor badly." The queen mother kept her eyes on Xiao Bieli, with a special meaning in her eyes.

"No one taught me badly. It was because I felt tired and wanted to go out of the palace to relax, so I asked the prime minister to accompany me." He has always been bold and courageous, and the matter of going out of the palace is just a bet, and he can't put all the responsibility on Xiao Bieli.

"If the emperor wants to go out of the palace, he must also worry about safety. You know that there are a lot of civil and military discussions in the Manchu court today. When the former emperor was in charge, there was never a day when the early court was avoided."

"Queen, I know I was wrong." Hearing that the queen mother brought out the former emperor, Bai Muyan turned pale, and immediately bowed his head to admit his mistake.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, the emperor admitted his mistake, and the queen mother couldn't reprimand him any more, Xiao Bieli saw that the situation was not right, so he didn't dare to speak casually.

"Xiao Qing, this is not the first time you have brought the emperor out of the palace. Aijia asked you, why did you take the emperor out of the palace this time?" In the blink of an eye, the queen mother pointed the finger at him.

"Queen Mother, everything is the fault of this minister. It is this minister who took the emperor out of the palace privately and was punished voluntarily." Xiao Bieli didn't make any excuses, just knelt down and took all the faults on himself.

From the first time he used the dice to lure Mu Yan out of the palace, he was ready to be punished. If the former emperor or queen mother really blamed him one day, he would bear it all.

He has always been daring, and as long as Mu Yan is happy, he is satisfied.

"Xiao Bieli, you idiot!" Bai Muyan cursed in a low voice.

At this time, he is still competing with him to take the responsibility, why can't he be sweeter like he was when he was a child, and make the Queen Mother happy, maybe he will be given a lighter punishment.

"Since you have been convicted, the Ai family will deal with you on behalf of the emperor. Come on, drag Xiao Bieli down for thirty."

"Wait a minute, mother, the prime minister is not entirely at fault for this matter, besides, Xiao Bieli is the prime minister of a country, and it would be disrespectful for the country to be punished in public." Bai Muyan stopped immediately.

"The emperor is too kind. The prime minister is the pillar of the country, and the example of the ministers. If he makes a mistake, he must be punished severely. Otherwise, how can the ministers be convinced? Even if he was your childhood companion and a master of martial arts, you don't have to miss the old love."

"No, Queen Mother..."

He understood that everything Xiao Bieli did was for his own good, why didn't his mother understand?

He tried his best to be a wise king. Since he was 14 years old, he has acted as an agent of the government for five years. He can't sleep for a few hours every day. He inevitably feels powerless. Parting or finding nourishing food, or rare things to relieve his stress and make him happy, if not, he might not be able to survive.

"Empress Dowager, I think that Prime Minister Xiao just loves the emperor wholeheartedly, so he did wrong things. Besides, the prime minister is young, and it is human nature to make mistakes. The queen mother's punishment is only for the prime minister to learn the lesson. This responsibility will be avoided." Always. Uncle Guo, who was silent, stood up and said good things for Xiao Bieli.

"Uncle is right, Xiao Bieli is also for my own good, and he did something wrong in a moment of confusion, the queen mother should not blame him." Seeing that his uncle was also on his side, Bai Muyan became more confident.

If he was at fault, he was the one who agreed to bet with Xiao Bieli, and if Xiao Bieli was at fault, then he couldn't get away with it.

"Since even the uncle of the country said so, then the responsibility of sticking can be exempted." The Queen Mother thought for a moment, but then she let go.

"Xiao Aiqing get up soon and thank the queen." Bai Muyan winked at Xiao Bieli who was kneeling on the ground, and Bai Muyan wanted to follow the trend.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, this physical punishment can be avoided, but he still has to be punished, otherwise there will be no kingly law in this world."

"What kind of punishment does the queen mother want?" Bai Muyan was stunned and asked back.

"Punish him to kneel in front of the main hall for a day, let all the officials know that they have done something wrong, and they will be punished."

"This..." Bai Muyan hesitated, but did not speak.

How can I kneel in front of the hall for a day?

Xiao Bieli is the prime minister personally appointed by his imperial pen, such a kneeling, not only Xiao Bieli loses face, but how will he, the emperor, use his prestige to convince the public in the future?

"Why, the emperor is not willing?"

"Okay, I'll punish the prime minister to kneel in front of the hall for a day, but I'm also at fault for this, so I want to kneel too." With his heart in mind, Bai Muyan simply agreed.

"Your Majesty, you..." Xiao Bieli, who was kneeling on the ground, opened his eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.

Is Mu Yan defending him?He didn't say that he didn't want to see him, why did he kneel down with him?

"Shut up, I have my own measure." Bai Muyan gave him a sideways glance, then turned to look at the Queen Mother.

"It's not proper for the emperor to kneel with you." The Empress Dowager naturally disagreed, since it was a matter of the royal family's face, she would not agree no matter what.

"If the queen mother disagrees, then don't kneel down as a punishment. How about leaving Hungry Xiao for a day? I promise, I will never leave the palace privately again." He knew that he was wrong this time, if he just left the palace privately, it would be fine. But it is indeed a big deal to miss the early court.

"Empress Dowager, the emperor's method is not bad. You just need to teach the prime minister a lesson. After all, you are the prime minister of a country. If you have important officials from two dynasties in your family, you should treat it as a shame for the old prime minister." Uncle Guo chimed in.

"If the queen thinks that one day is not enough for him, then three days." He didn't want to say this at first, but he was afraid that the queen would think the punishment was lighter, so he simply changed one day to three days, so as to calm the queen's anger.

"Three days is three days, according to the emperor, Xiao Qing, please thank the emperor soon." The queen mother smiled slightly, and finally agreed.

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Xiao Bieli got up and saluted respectfully, but a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth.

Come to think of it, Mu Yan still had him in his heart, so he spoke for him, thinking that he would definitely be punished for this incident, but he didn't expect that in the end it was just three days without eating.

Not taking it for three days is nothing to him, since he was a child, he took the panacea given to him by his uncle as a sugar pill, and his body was as strong as a cow, but when the time came, he could pretend to be sick or something, which attracted Mu Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing for Yan to come to see him!

He was dreaming a sweet dream, his eyes were crescent-shaped with a smile, in Bai Muyan's eyes, he was not pleasing to the eye at all.

"Is he plotting against me?" Bai Muyan muttered to himself, and couldn't help regretting saving him.

But the words are like this, if you really don't save him, Xiao Bieli will really be blamed and peeled off. At that time, he, the emperor, will have to worry about all major and minor matters. Even if he is punished to kneel, he will hurt the king face.He still has to take care of these things.

◇

Xiao Bieli went back to the mansion happily, the Empress Dowager sent the guards in the palace to follow him to watch, they saw that he hadn't eaten a grain of rice for three days before leaving.

This morning, Xiao Bieli was lying on the bed and was about to pretend to be sick and not go to court, but a big news caused him to almost fall off the bed.

"Father, you said the emperor is going to get married?" With a loud roar, the roof almost fell off.

"Unfilial son, keep your voice down, your father and I are not deaf." Old Prime Minister Xiao covered his ears and slapped him on the top of the head.

"Father, tell me quickly, is Mu Yan going to get married?" Xiao Bieli got out of bed in a hurry, without any shoes, just standing on the ground barefoot.

Whose idea is this?Is it the empress dowager or the emperor himself?

"If you want to be called the emperor, the wedding date is set to be one month later. The empress is the emperor's cousin, the daughter of the current uncle of the country. This is a close relationship." Old Prime Minister Xiao stroked his beard happily.

The emperor's big wedding is a great joy, and he has watched the emperor grow up since he was a child, just like his half son, so it is a great thing for a son to marry a wife.

"How could Mu Yan get married?!" Xiao Bieli looked at the door in a daze, muttering to himself.

After finally confessing to Mu Yan, the news of the big wedding came before he could wait for a response...

Because Mu Yan doesn't often invite people to sleep, he has already endured the concubines in the harem.

But now it's time to marry the queen!How could he allow a woman to monopolize Mu Yan?

You don't need to guess, it must be the empress dowager and the uncle's intention. Since he became the prime minister, he has become a thorn in the empress dowager's side. He has long since lost the kind treatment he used to.

He usually seems to be undisciplined, but in fact he can clearly see the general situation in the court. Although the queen mother did not intervene in politics, half of the people in the court are the queen mother, and they often disagree with him on major issues. If Mu Yan did not support him, I am afraid His prime minister did not live up to his name.

"You child, the emperor's wedding, you know, why don't you go to the palace to congratulate him." Old Prime Minister Xiao patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

"Enter the palace, I will enter the palace right away." Xiao Bieli hurriedly put on his official uniform, and rushed to the palace immediately.

No matter what, he doesn't want to see Mu Yan's big marriage. Even if he can't stop it, he has to delay it as much as possible, and it will be a day...

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he received an imperial decree, saying that the floods in the south of the Yangtze River were severe, and a plague broke out. He left Beijing without seeing his face.

When he came to the disaster area, Xiao Bieli took care of everything by himself, participated in disaster relief in person during the day, and only missed his sweetheart at night. Seeing that the wedding was approaching, he couldn't care less, ordered his deputy to take his place temporarily, and rushed back to Beijing desperately.

Finally, on the day of the wedding, when he returned to the capital, he saw lights and festoons everywhere in the palace. Xiao Bieli felt it was particularly dazzling when he looked at it.

Regardless of changing into clean clothes, he rushed into the palace in a dusty way, and seeing Bai Muyan who had just changed into the red wedding robe, he was so excited that he was speechless for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the subject is back."

"You are not in the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, what are you doing back here?" Bai Muyan was slightly taken aback, his brows were slightly frowned, he did not expect to see him at this time.

"The emperor's wedding, how can I not be present." Looking at Bai Muyan in red and golden crown, he felt so sad that he wanted to cry.

What can he say?Elope with Mu Yan?Or should Mu Yan order to cancel the marriage?

All kinds of things are impossible, he knows that if he takes a wrong step, everything will be lost forever.

Mu Yan is a king, he is a minister, he doesn't want to be a rebellious minister and bear a lifetime of infamy, but he can't think of a way to stop this upcoming wedding...

He was unwilling to watch Mu Yan get married, Mu Yan belonged to him!

"Forget it, everyone has already returned, I don't want to pursue it anymore, go and change clothes, today is my big wedding, the prime minister must not lose his manners." Bai Muyan smiled, not wanting to get angry on the wedding day.

That day, after Xiao Bieli returned home, his mother mentioned the big wedding to him. He thought that he had also reached the age of marriage, and he just knew that Xiao Bieli had another kind of affection for him, so he thought that he could Taking advantage of this opportunity to let Xiao Bieli give up and be a loyal minister with peace of mind, he nodded in agreement.

He ordered him to go to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief because he was afraid that he would do something out of the ordinary when he knew about it.

"The emperor is thinking about the future queen?" Xiao Bieli looked at the thoughtful look of the person in front of him, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"No, I haven't even seen the Queen's face, so why would I miss her. A scholarly family." I don't know why he asked this, but Bai Muyan looked puzzled.

The marriage was decided by the queen mother and uncle. I can't say whether I like it or not. I met my cousin a few times when I was a child. She is a gentle and pleasant woman. I believe she can be a queen of a country.

"I'm going down to change clothes." Xiao Bieli turned his head and left after clasping his hands together.

Mu Yan doesn't seem to like the other party yet, so he has to act first, he wants to let Mu Yan understand that he is not just talking!

The wedding ceremony was very lively, the hall was full of guests, and all the ministers took turns to persuade them to drink. As the bridegroom, Bai Muyan couldn't resist the tide-like attack. After several glasses of wine, his jade-like face immediately floated up a red cloud.

"No, I can't drink any more." Shaking his drowsy head, Bai Muyan pushed away the crowd and sat down on the dragon chair.

"The emperor is overjoyed tonight, why don't you drink a few more glasses?"

"Isn't your majesty afraid that if you drink too much, the empress will be unhappy?"

"Nonsense, when have I ever been afraid of anyone?" Bai Muyan yelled in disbelief with his cheeks puffed up.

Apart from being afraid of his father, no, he respects and loves his father, he is not afraid of anyone, of course he is also afraid of one person, that annoying Xiao Bieli, but he is afraid that he will throw dice with him and miss the court.

"Then the emperor drank this cup again, just one cup."

While speaking, the wine glass was brought to him again, he raised his eyes and saw that it was a cabinet scholar, so he took it and drank it down.

"Okay, the troubles are almost over today, and the emperor has to enter the bridal chamber, so please be merciful." At some point, Xiao Bieli appeared beside him.

Looking at the drunk Bai Muyan, Xiao Bieli laughed in his heart, since this big marriage can't be stopped, let the big wedding be his and Mu Yan's!

At the wedding banquet, he advocated that the ministers persuade him to drink, and he really got Mu Yan drunk.

"Prime Minister Xiao said that it would be bad if you missed the emperor's wedding night." The ministers saw that the commotion was almost over, and the emperor was quite drunk, so they dispersed one after another.

Xiao Bieli had already secretly bribed the eunuch not to bring Bai Muyan into the new house, but went back to his own bedroom. Seeing no one around, he sneaked into the emperor's bedroom and closed the door.

"Mu Yan, you are finally mine alone."

Carrying Bai Muyan onto the dragon bed, and taking off the obtrusive wedding robe one by one, Xiao Bieli's palms couldn't help trembling slightly.

"Hmm..." He was hot, but Bai Muyan was even hotter. He drank too much wine, his body was hot and uncomfortable, but he couldn't find an outlet to vent.

"Mu Yan, don't move around, I don't want to hurt you." Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Xiao Bieli resisted the burning desire, and reached his waist with his big hand.

He doesn't want to bring Mu Yan painful memories, he loves Mu Yan, and he hopes that Mu Yan can enjoy the same physical and mental pleasure as he does.

"Hot...hot..." Writhing unconsciously, the last piece of obscene pants that covered his body also left him, revealing his slender legs——
