Lengcaoxianchi

The deep starry sky, the dim palace lanterns, the late spring night wind, the fluttering petals...

Chu Xiu feels everything around him so affectionately, this is the most peaceful moment he has ever enjoyed, the quiet yard, the peaceful heart, even if it is the silence before the storm, he doesn't care anymore.

His voice is clear and soft, and Xingqing makes him sing cheerfully, full of clarity, with a hint of happiness.

Maybe others can't understand what he is singing, and they can't appreciate his avant-garde singing, but the way he is sitting leaning against the door, looking up at the night sky, singing softly is so captivating - he is still a little boy At this moment, his expression is so clear, his shallow smile, his eyes full of starlight, maybe his heart is also so clear.

For Chu Xiu, the age of fifteen or sixteen is the age of indulgence, full of enthusiasm and hope, but also at a loss of understanding the world, longing for the sweetness and sadness of love...

As for Mo Yuhao, who became an emperor, at this age, he was already dealing with ministers, pleasing his father and his favorite concubine, handling various political affairs, and being at the critical point where brothers fought against the wall and fought for power. when.

The government affairs are heavy recently, Emperor Sheng Yuan accompanied the queen to finish the dinner, and then he has to deal with the government affairs.As an emperor, you have to be connected to the world, and you can't handle all the big and small things, so the emperor is the most labor-intensive job in the world.

After dealing with the political affairs, it was past midnight ([-] o'clock in the evening), he strolled in the palace, and unknowingly came to the Qiufeng Hall not far from his Qinzheng Hall, and saw the person at the gate of the main hall, maybe The night is too gentle, maybe his cold heart also wanted to seek a trace of long-lasting warmth, he was bewitched and lost in Chu Xiu's gentle voice and shallow smile.

Standing in the cold night of late spring, he watched for a long time, until the people at the door got tired of singing and went into the room to rest, then Emperor Sheng Yuan left quietly.

Jinwei Mingsong, who was protecting the emperor's safety, saw the other side of the cold emperor for the first time. Although he was still domineering, but the cold shell seemed to have cracked a hole, with a little human touch.

Chu Xiu got up early in the morning, tied up her hair, put on her clothes, and carefully arranged her appearance, just like an employee going to an interview, he wanted to leave a good impression on the emperor.

Holding the finished manuscript in his hand, there are eleven pages in total.Chu Xiu looked at the slender but majestic square characters on the paper, and felt very satisfied and excited. He wanted to use them to make an emperor recognize his ability and then appoint him.

Men have always had a lot of desires. They want to hold everything in their hands and satisfy their desire to conquer. Chu Xiu is also a man, and he also yearns to be named king and minister, and to be famous in history.

Following the eunuch who led the way came to the outside of the imperial study, there was no need for early court today, the emperor had already dealt with government affairs in the imperial study, after the notification, Chu Xiu stepped into the gate of the imperial study.

The high threshold of the outer hall of the imperial study seems to be a threshold in Chu Xiu's life. He stepped in. From then on, his life will undergo a qualitative change. It is the new life he longs for, a wilderness for him to gallop; Leaving his mediocre life in the past and welcoming a new day where he can spread his wings, at least there will be the pride he wants his future generations to remember and praise.

Of course, whether fate will give him the opportunity to pass on to his descendants is another matter.

In short, the current Chu Xiu is proud, full of longing for the future, with the enthusiasm of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.He was very excited in his heart, but his face was still solemn and calm, otherwise, he would not be able to expect himself to be a great minister in the future, and his name will last forever.

"My ministers see the emperor!" The emperor sat behind the large imperial case and was approving a paper. Chu Xiu saluted and knelt on the ground.As a modern person, I have some resistance to kneeling. Chu Xiu is also very disgusted with it, but the situation is stronger than others. I can hypnotize myself a little bit in my heart and I don’t mind this kind of thing. I will kneel often in the future and get used to it. just fine.

Hearing Chu Xiu's voice, the emperor didn't raise his head, and said, "Pingshen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Xiu stood up, waiting for the emperor to let him speak.

It was still early, and no other courtiers had entered the palace to perform their duties. The imperial study room was quiet, and the sound of the brush brushing gently on the paper could be heard.Chu Xiu looked down at the unicorn beast embroidered on the crimson carpet, feeling a little nervous.

The emperor looked up at Chu Xiu after approving the letter that said the spring flood. Today, he was dressed very formally, with loose and heavy clothes.Since he had just entered the palace, the clothes on his body were sent to him by the internal servant yesterday. The clothes did not fit his figure and were a bit too big. At this time, he was wrapped in the white embroidered orchid clothes, which looked like A beautiful doll. "Yi Qing, is the paper in your hand the restructuring plan that you want to give me?"

"Yes, please take a look at the emperor." Chu Xiu respectfully presented the paper in her hand.

The emperor looked at the page on the front, and the writing was very good. It briefly introduced this system called the imperial examination system, and the next few pages explained it in detail, how to implement it, and what it brought. the benefits of.

In fact, this system of selecting scholars was proposed when his father was emperor, but because the person who proposed it did not give a specific plan, and because of the obstruction of the aristocratic family, this method ended without a problem.

Looking at it now, this handsome young man is indeed not a beautiful embroidered pillow. Judging from the words and the things mentioned in it, he is really a talent.

The emperor read it slowly, and it was finished by the seventh page.The imperial examination system has lasted for thousands of years in China, and several books cannot finish describing it, but now, Chuxiu only needs to write a simple and generous one. If the emperor wants to implement this method of selecting scholars If there is no law, he will be appointed to implement it.

The emperor turned to the next few sheets of paper - the 36 strategies summed up by the Chinese are a summary of ancient strategists' strategies and a precious legacy of military strategy. Although it was proposed in the Qin Dynasty in Chuxiu's previous life, in this world, But it hasn't appeared in a book yet.

According to Chu Xiu's memory of this world, although there are some legends about some of the 36 tricks, there is no such specific and unified description.

"Six sets of 36 points: victory plan, enemy battle plan, attack plan, melee plan, merger plan, and defeat plan."

"The first strategy to win a battle is to hide from the sky and cross the sea.

If you prepare for the week, you will be lazy; if you are common, you will not doubt it.Yin is within yang, not in opposition to yang.Second plan,..."

When the emperor looked at the next few pages, his eyes flickered, his right hand unconsciously rubbed the pages, and it took a long time before he raised his head to look at Chu Xiu, "Yi Qing, this imperial examination method is indeed a desirable way to obtain scholars. This law, with this law, will be beneficial to future generations! However, the current clan is too powerful, so it may not be easy to implement it."

Chu Xiu murmured in her heart that it would be beneficial to future generations, of course, this has been verified by the history of thousands of years in China. "Your Majesty, my minister said that there are three ways to avoid the problem of the aristocratic family. First, maintain the original system of impartiality for the aristocratic family, and implement the imperial examination for the common people. After a long time, people will see the benefits of the imperial examination, and the court has got rid of the control of the family, and it will be very simple to abolish the Zhongzheng selection system."

"This is indeed a good method, similar to the one you mentioned later. I just don't know how long it will take. How about the second method?"

"Secondly, attack the family and weaken its power so that it cannot stop the emperor's reform."

"This is not a matter of simple talk." The emperor raised his head and looked at Chu Xiu, showing a slightly ambiguous smile.

Eleven chapters accepted

"The power of the aristocratic family, even daring to despise the royal family, does not lie in their inherited family background and long history, but in their military power and important positions in the court. They live in a luxurious house, enjoy delicious food, and are surrounded by beautiful servants. Life is worry-free Fortunately, they have power. They have never thought about who gave them such a life, and they are not grateful to the royal king for their kindness. In the world, is it the land of the emperor, the guests of the land, or the ministers of the king? They eat the king's salary, but Disloyalty to the emperor and service to the emperor, do not think about serving the emperor or the people; the family is ultimately an obstacle to the country and the people, and it must be removed, but it can only be removed early." Chu Xiu frowned when he saw the king, and then said, "Today In this world, power represents everything, and where there are soldiers, there is power. To weaken the power of the clan, you must first take back the military power in the hands of the clan. If you want the world to be stable, the military power can only be in the hands of the emperor."

These few words of Chu Xiu touched the emperor's heart. For an emperor like Emperor Shengyuan, what he likes is to control everything in his own hands. Said he was waiting for the time to come.And Chu Xiu created an opportunity for him.

"What Yi Qing said is very true." The emperor looked at Chu Xiu with dangerous eyes.

At this time, Chu Xiu could only continue talking, he was forcing the emperor to regard him as a confidant, or the emperor would kill him.And Chu Xiu believes that the emperor in front of him will choose the former, because he is full of domineering, he has enough confidence and courage to believe in his own choices and decisions, so he will definitely choose to challenge.Such an emperor is in some respects like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Hongli, the Qianlong emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

If Chengguo is a big ship, then Shengyuan Emperor Mo Yuhao is an excellent helmsman, and what Chu Xiu wants to do is a smooth wind.

"To take back the military power, the key is to have a battle to fight, and a big war, so that the emperor can take the military power back into his own hands in the name of the imperial conquest. I think the emperor should have thought of these things a long time ago. Wait for the east wind, and carry it out in the name of attacking the Jin Kingdom. This will not only take back the military power, but also expand the inheritance of the country's land, killing two birds with one stone." Chu Xiu had already said what he wanted to say, and he looked up at the emperor, who was thinking about the problem expressionlessly.

Chu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the emperor was thinking and hesitating, it was his victory.

"What about your third method?" The emperor didn't say much, and then asked the following question.

"The third method of the minister is to implement the first method and the second method at the same time, and to adopt a new selection and management system in the army. Not only can more outstanding generals be promoted, but also the power and influence of the family in the army Weaken and eliminate." These are all things that Chu Xiu thought about early in the morning. He is not particularly good at talking about the military system, but he can give some constructive suggestions. After all, he knows more about history. As a mirror, you can know the ups and downs.The emperor must have considered this. To fully control the military power, he must control the morale of the army and use his own people to control the army.

"Yi Qing's words have benefited me a lot. I happen to be short of a confidential secretary by my side, so you can take up this position! The 36 tactics you wrote in the next few papers can be compared with Sun Wu's Art of War , Aiqing is very talented at such a young age." The emperor looked at Chu Xiu with a smile on his face, which flattered Chu Xiu.

It seems that Chuxiu's strong medicine has worked. The emperor decided to reuse Chuxiu. The confidential secretary is an extremely important position around the emperor. Although the official position is not high, sometimes the power can be compared with that of a country.It's just that this official position is helping the emperor deal with government affairs and making suggestions in the dark, while the prime minister is in the open.

Of course, Chu Xiu would not be so naive as to think that the emperor has completely trusted him. This official position does not touch many people. His power and affairs are all given by the emperor, so the emperor may really trust him when he gives him this position. He wants to use his talent, another possibility is to use this position to test his sincerity.

However, Chu Xiu gave the emperor such an important strategy as 36 strategies, the emperor should really believe him!Because in ancient times, people had a habit of hiding their sharpness, and they also liked to keep their housekeeping skills, and they would not use them unless it was absolutely necessary.But Chu Xiu did the opposite, exposing everything about himself. The 36 strategies he wrote would definitely be shocked by the emperor as a heavenly man. At the same time, the emperor would also think that this should be the essence of Chu Xiu Now, how could he not believe in a person who shows everything he has in front of him? As long as the emperor believes in Chu Xiu, and wants to get Chu Xiu's mind and strategy, he will have the mentality of being a strong man to protect his weaknesses , Chu Xiu can be under his safety protection.

These are Chu Xiu's wishful thinking, and the facts will prove that his calculations are right.

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness. I will do my best to be a good minister and live up to the emperor's grace." Chu Xiu was so happy that she almost wanted to say something like 'dedicate every ounce of light and every ounce of warmth'.And he's not thick-skinned enough to say that the 36 stratagems are his original creation, "The 36 stratagems are based on summarizing some folk sayings. The emperor said that it was made by the ministers, which really makes the ministers panic."js

After all, Chu Xiu was still a young man, and it was very difficult to keep his face hidden when he heard an emperor's praise.As a result, the little dimple on his left face appeared again, his bright eyes were full of energy, captivating and extremely charming.

The emperor in front of him was also heartbroken when he saw it. "The post of the confidential secretary handles confidential matters, so I didn't set up a house for Aiqing outside the palace. Aiqing should live in the Qiufeng Palace! This is also a good time to discuss confidential matters with me at any time."

"I'm afraid it's not good to live in the palace. It's a suspicion of promiscuity in the harem. Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Chu Xiu actually liked living in the Qiufeng Palace, where it was grand and romantic, and it was very close to the place of work.It's not good to just live there to give others a handle, and it's not convenient to go out in the palace.

The emperor looked at Chu Xiu's cute frowning expression, and his heart fluttered again. It seems that there is a reason why the nobles of Jin Kingdom like boys.He didn't know if he wanted to keep Chu Xiu under surveillance, or if he wanted him to be within his reach from the bottom of his heart, anyway, he didn't want Chu Xiu to leave the palace.

"The Hall of Autumn Wind is located among the outer halls, and it does not involve the harem. It was also used to entertain courtiers before, so you don't have to be afraid of someone interfering with your harem."

Chu Xiu thought in her heart that the emperor must not be too worried about him, it seems that he must want him to live in the palace, and he can't easily resist the emperor's decision. "I obey the order, thank the emperor for his kindness."

Chapter Twelve Out of the Palace

As the emperor's confidential secretary, Chu Xiu was very similar to clerical work.It is to help the emperor sort out official documents, sometimes give some suggestions on certain things, and draft some edict documents. The things he can understand are what the emperor wants him to know. This job is very busy if it is busy, but it can be very busy , It all depends on the emperor's trust and dependence on him.

This position in the palace requires many people. As far as Chu Xiu knows, there are currently three confidential secretaries of the emperor. As one of them, he is still in the testing period, so of course he is very free.

He didn't have to go to court in the morning, he only went to the imperial study to listen to orders during his shift hours, and then only went when the emperor announced him to go.

Chu Xiu holds this position, because he lives in the palace, it is considered a palace job, and he can have two days of vacation every half a month, during these two days, he can go out of the palace to do what he wants to do.

Now, more than ten days have passed since he was hired, and the feeling of being an official is still far from what he imagined. In his impression, the work he does does not require any wisdom and strategy, as long as the level of literature is high. I have never encountered a particularly big event. The notes I have sorted out and the edicts I have drafted are all about the transfer of officials in small places, various affairs of spring plowing, water conservancy affairs, various affairs of the Qingming Festival, the emperor's relatives, nobles, etc. Marriages between ministers, and preparing for the selection of concubines for the emperor... But there are absolutely no major military and political issues involved, and Chu Xiu is not dissatisfied because of handling these, but there are still some small knots in his heart, after all, reality is forever. It is not as good as the ideal, it is the gap between them that makes people continue to pursue and move forward.

Chu Xiu only hoped that such days would not be too long.Although complicated and small things can temper people's patience and make people more calm, but if this continues, people's passion will run out.

The emperor is already preparing to send troops, but there is still a big problem with the military power of the army. I don't know how long it will be until the army problem is settled.The so-called speed of soldiers is precious, and only when the enemy is unprepared can they win by surprise. The timing of sending troops to Jin has passed, so we can only attack again when Jin's defense is exhausted, and the earth is warming up. The river is full of spring water, and if you miss the good time to cross the river, you can only wait for the next dry season in winter.

In the ten days since entering the palace, Chu Xiu read various books and gained a deeper understanding of the situation in this world. Here, from the history of Xia, Shang and Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States, to Qin and Western Han, are all similar to Yi Yang's. Ancient China is very similar, and there are some differences. It can be seen that Yi Yang’s era made a mistake in the historical research at that time; in the Western Han Dynasty, there was no new dynasty of Wang Mang, and there was no establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty after that. The Han Dynasty established by Liu Bang The country lasted for more than 400 years, and then fell into separatism and turmoil until the arrival of the era of the Three Kingdoms.

In an era of peace, it is conducive to the advancement of science and technology; in turmoil, dynasties change, and the government system is easy to be improved.In the world of the Three Kingdoms, technology and political system have developed to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.In Chengguo at this time, the official position system was similar to the system of three provinces and six ministries. In fact, the imperial examination was also proposed by the predecessors, but it was abolished halfway before it was implemented because the power of the aristocratic clan was too powerful.

Chu Xiu analyzed the reasons why the predecessors failed to implement the imperial examination, mainly because the emperor was not courageous enough and compromised with the family.After that, he never thought that the imperial examination system he proposed for the emperor would not be adopted, because he could feel the emperor's ambition, and his ambition would make the legal system he brought be implemented.

The pink on the peach tree has fallen to the dust, and the whole tree has been replaced with tender green leaves, dotted with little peaches.

Spring is the season of hope.

After Chu Xiu finished a set of Taijiquan under the peach tree, he was refreshed. When he returned to the house, someone brought breakfast, a bowl of rice porridge, and two big buns.

Today is his day off, he thought the emperor would not let him out of the palace, but before he mentioned it to the emperor, Princess Qinyue came to ask him to go out of the palace last time, and the princess still got her when she left the palace. The emperor's brother allowed it.

During the more than ten days that Chu Xiu was in the palace, this savage princess came to pester him almost every day, but the emperor turned a blind eye to it, and was not afraid at all that he would abduct his sister away.But within ten days, Chu Xiu also fell in love with this princess, just like his former sisters.When he was in modern times, he was the only male in the family, but he had a lot of cousins, so he still had a good way of dealing with girls.

It was agreed to meet at Chenshi Zheng (eight o'clock in the morning) outside the east gate of the imperial palace. Chu Xiu took the advance salary for this month and the token to leave the palace, packed up and went to the agreed place.

The south gate of the palace is the main entrance for ministers to enter the palace, while the east gate is the closest to the harem for people in the palace to enter and exit.

The vernal equinox has passed and the day is getting longer. At [-] o'clock in the morning, the sun has risen. The fiery red sun is shining on this land with radiance. The towering palace walls and turrets are stretched out by the sun. Standing in the square in front of the East Palace, Chuxiu looked back at the palace behind him. The buildings inside are so grand and majestic. This place symbolizes the northern land—the highest power in the whole Chengguo. Every word the emperor said A word can affect the whole world, this is the power of power, he can control everyone on this land.

Chu Xiu walked to the gate of the palace and handed the exit token in her hand to the guard at the gate to see.The guard didn't respond for a long time, and then his face was flushed, and he didn't take the token in his hand to check, and hesitantly uttered a sentence, "Mother, you... don't embarrass your subordinates, you are going out of the palace to ask for the emperor's imperial decree." . . . besides, even if you disguise yourself as a man, you . . .

When Chu Xiu heard what he said, she couldn't laugh or cry. She didn't expect the guard to treat him as a harem concubine disguised as a man. He looked so like a woman. Under Chu Xiu's glaring gaze, the guard couldn't continue. "I'm the emperor's official document, but I don't dare to claim my status, what kind of empress is it? Let me out after checking the token!"

Chu Xiu was very angry at what the guards said, and he was also disgusted by the way some guards stared at him, so he naturally rushed when he spoke.

The guard also heard that although his voice was clear and soft, it was by no means a woman's voice.On duty at the palace gate, everyone has their own responsibilities. Today it was his turn to check the access tokens. He had never encountered such a thing before, so he didn't know what to do now.

Let him out, he might be the male favorite raised in the emperor's harem for the emperor to play with. I heard from the brother who worked in the harem Lanyuan that the emperor often went there recently and loved the male concubines there very much; no Let it go, he has no reason, this is a dilemma.

"You...you wait." The guard left Chu Xiu to ask another guard, and after talking for a while, he still refused to let him go out when he came back.

All the guards standing guard at the gate stared at him, and some were still whispering to each other.

Chu Xiu didn't expect it to be so troublesome to get out of the palace. It's really a scholar who meets a soldier.He was about to take out the wooden sign proving his identity from his pocket and show it when he was interrupted by a rough voice. "You are not on duty, what are you doing?"

Chu Xiu raised her head and saw the person coming from the moat bridge. The person was carrying the light behind her back, and the tall figure in the morning light seemed to be glowing with golden light, appearing majestic and full of strength.Chu Xiu thought, as a big man, he should be like this!This is the first time that Chu Xiu expressed dissatisfaction with her body through comparison.

The guards at the palace gate immediately cheered up and said in unison, "Commander Li!"

The person who came nodded and looked towards Chu Xiu, and the guards in front of Chu Xiu went to report the situation here.

After a while, Commander Li and the guard came over together.

It was only now that Chu Xiu could see clearly that this commander he had met in the Imperial Study Room was called Li Mingtong, the commander of the palace guards, the emperor trusted him a lot and was very close to him, so he often called him Mingtong.

Chapter Thirteen Transition.

"Commander Li, I want to leave the palace. This is the exit token." Chu Xiu stepped forward and handed the token to Li Mingtong for inspection.

Li Mingtong took the token and looked at it, then gave it back to Chu Xiu, "So it's Master Yi Chu Xiuyi, is it your holiday today?" His voice was a little rigid, more like a question about military affairs than a greeting.

Chu Xiu didn't expect that Li Mingtong knew him, but it was also beneficial, so she smiled happily, "It happens to be a half-month vacation, and I want to go out to buy some things. Commander Li has checked, so I'll leave first."

Chu Xiu took the token and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Mingtong again. "Master Yi, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to go out like this!"

"Huh?" Chu Xiu thought, the emperor wanted to imprison him in the palace, right?

Seeing that Chu Xiu was puzzled, his eyes darkened afterwards.Li Mingtong knew that he had misunderstood his words, "Lord Yi, please wear a gauze hat. Although the imperial city is safe and sound, there are also many dudes. It is better not to provoke them to reduce the trouble!"

Now Chu Xiu understood what he meant. It should be the same reason as the guard who stopped him just now. His face was too feminine and unsafe.Thinking of misunderstanding someone's kindness, Chu Xiu smiled apologetically, "Thank you for your reminder, I will go buy a gauze hat."

Li Mingtong nodded to him, turned around and went into the palace.

Chu Xiu smiled at the guard who stopped him just now, "Brother guard, I can go out now!"

The guard immediately stood up straight and saluted, "My lord, let's go!"

"Thank you!"

Chu Xiu walked through the palace gate and the moat bridge, behind him was the palace full of power and taboos.He took a deep breath and walked forward facing the sun.

Power is accompanied by blood, how many deaths have been witnessed by this tall city gate.And the road he chose to take, will he regret it in the future; when he looks back when he is dying, will the dead bones piled up on the roadside make him regret his choice at this time.

What happened in the future hasn't happened yet, he doesn't know, and he doesn't want to waste his energy on such things.

It is an eternal truth.

However, he also knows a word, the real right is not to kill a person when he has the right to kill him; but to keep him alive when he has the right to kill a person.

When he holds power, he must know how to maintain this conscience, so that he can be worthy of himself and the power in his hands.

He Wei looked at Chu Xiu who walked out of the palace gate and walked away, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.That person is so beautiful, he will come back from here in the evening, so we can see him again then!A few days ago, he still couldn't figure out why the emperor favored a man, but now he felt that there is nothing incomprehensible in liking a man.

How could Chu Xiu, who walked out boldly, think that just a short encounter, there is another young man who is troubled by love in this world, and he looks forward to it every half month at the palace gate.

You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and people watching the scenery look at you upstairs.The bright moon decorates your windows, you decorate other people's dreams.

Chu Xiu stood at the end of the palace gate square, a carriage with two black horses slowly drove over and stopped in front of him.

Then, a handsome young man in luxurious clothes jumped out of the car and looked at him with a smile on his face. "Why, I'm fascinated by my uncle's demeanor!"

Chu Xiu looked at the princess disguised as a man in front of her, holding a paper fan painted with orchid grass and opening and closing, completely looking like a playboy.Chu Xiu said with some headaches, "Qin Yue, don't you fear that you won't be able to get married in the future with your appearance?"

Qin Yue pretended to be salivating at Chu Xiu, took a fan and stepped forward to lift Chu Xiu's chin, "Beauty, I won't be able to marry you in the future, so I just come to marry you!"

The palace is really a wonderful place, and this kind of princess can be raised.Chu Xiu pushed her fan away, "Why did you leave the palace so early? Don't sleep late."

"I waited for you outside the palace yesterday in order to see you earlier. Look at you, dawdling, and saying that I like to sleep in." Chu Xiu looked at the princess shyly lowering her head, pretending to be cute and pitiful. Sample.He had nothing to say about it. After so many days, he still couldn't get used to the nonsensical performance of this natural actor.

"You left the palace yesterday?"

"My second sister returned to the imperial capital with her son-in-law, and I asked the imperial brother to allow me to see her." The princess pulled Chu Xiu into the carriage, "I will take you to eat the crystal dumplings in Tianfulou first, Then take you to a good place."

Looking at the elf-like girl in front of her, Chu Xiu could only lament the wonder of the Creator, that the rigorous deep palace did not wear down her temper. "I've had my breakfast, haven't you?"

"In order to pick you up, I didn't have time to eat! Besides, the food at Huangjie's house is really not very good! Fortunately, I heard that she came back with a cook from the south, so I ran over to taste the cooking skills. After eating, I realized that it was very ordinary. If I can't compare to Concubine Yu's skill, I won't go there in the future!"

Chu Xiu listened to this gluttonous princess rambling on a lot. He originally thought that this princess was feeling affectionate for her sisters, and he went to see her just after Huang Jie came back, but he didn't expect it was just for a word.

Tianfulou is the largest restaurant in Qiongying, the imperial capital of Chengguo. In addition to serving lunch and dinner, it also sells buns and dumplings for breakfast.

Sitting in the private room on the second floor, the princess ate her crystal dumplings slowly, and said with staring eyes while eating, "This is the taste!"

Chu Xiu tasted one, and it tasted okay, but it was too oily.He is used to eating light food, and he doesn't like oily food.

After the princess finished eating, she rinsed her mouth, wiped her mouth, pretended to puff up her stomach, and sighed, "Life is alive, eat and drink! It's so delicious, I ate it this time, and I don't know when it will be the next time!" "

Chu Xiu looked at the princess, she really had a hurt look on her face, so she comforted, "The emperor pampered you so much, it will not be difficult to come out in the future. Why are you so decisive?"

"You really don't know the pain of this palace! Alas!" Seeing the princess pretending to wipe her tears with a white handkerchief, she knew that the princess was going to act again to complain.

Chu Xiu had no choice but to interrupt immediately, "Qin Yue, don't you want to take me to a good place? Then let's go!"

Chu Xiu stood up to leave, but was pulled over by Qin Yue to sit down again, "Wait a minute, there is another person!"

Seeing her blinking and telling him, Chu Xiu couldn't guess who was coming.

He originally wanted to take a good look at this ancient imperial capital, whether as Yi Yang or Yi Chuxiu, this place was unfamiliar to him.After the princess promised him that she would introduce him to this place with him, he agreed.Although he is skeptical that the princess knows about Joon Young.

However, there is still a lot of time for him to learn about this place in the future, so he decided not to act alone during this time, so as to dispel the emperor's suspicion of him.

Chu Xiu looked out the window and listened to the princess's eloquent introduction of Qiongying's food, and when the princess wanted to hear an answer, she said, "It's really delicious!".And just like that, time passed.In fact, he is not picky about what he eats, nor is he very interested.

When Chu Xiu was in a daze, thinking that the emperor obviously attached great importance to the imperial examination, but hadn't raised it in the court for more than ten days, the princess's sudden excited voice interrupted him. "After waiting for a long time, it's finally here!"

Chu Xiu looked at the door, and several guards walked in, guarding a young man in a black brocade robe. He had a very ordinary appearance, but he couldn't conceal his noble and domineering aura.

Chu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then stood up and saluted the person who came, "My humble servant sees the emperor!"

Such domineering, such sharp eyes, it doesn't matter who the current emperor is.Chu Xiu couldn't figure out the emperor's intention of leaving the palace, and thought that the princess said to take her to a place that might be the emperor's intention to take her, so she felt even more puzzled.

Chapter Fourteen Peach Creek

Before the emperor replied, Qin Yue jumped up to Chu Xiu, pulled him and said excitedly, "Brother's disguise is so perfect, how did you see it? The first time I saw it, I didn't recognize it. Could it be?" Is it because you two have the same mind?" Then he stared at Chu Xiu with a sinister smile, hoping to see Chu Xiu's blushing and beating behavior, so that it could be used as a excuse to make fun of Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu, as a person with traditional masculine thinking, and because he had the experience of being given to the emperor as a gift, he very much repulsed others to associate him with the emperor in this regard.But in front of the emperor, and the princess was teasing him like this again, he could only bear it, but his tone was naturally bad, "The emperor's majesty is natural, with auspicious clouds and purple aura accompanying him, I can naturally tell it."

"Really?" Qin Yue looked at the emperor again, but couldn't find anything.Then he curled his lips and went to sit down with the emperor, "Brother, why are you here so late? This morning, I played with many people?"

The emperor didn't express anything after hearing Qin Yue's words, but looked at Chu Xiu with deeper eyes.Seeing Chu Xiu standing aside respectfully, she tore off Qin Yue who was lying on top of him, "Qin Yue, don't act like a child who can't grow up. At your age, Shuzhen gave birth to the eldest princess for me. "

Shuzhen is the boudoir name of the current Empress of Chengguo, and Chu Xiu also saw it in a book recording the chronicles of the dynasty a few days ago.The queen and the emperor have been married for eight years, and they have always been harmonious and respectful as guests. The queen is benevolent and generous, and manages the harem for the emperor very properly.

The emperor was always indifferent and domineering. This was the first time Chu Xiu heard him speak in such a persuasive tone. I wondered if he couldn't get used to it, and was stunned for a moment.

Hearing the emperor's words again, his tone was also full of tenderness, "Outside the palace, Chu Xiu should not be bound by the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers. My name is Qin Hao, and you can just follow Qin Yue and call me elder brother."

"How dare the minister be so rude and climb up to the emperor?" When Chu Xiu heard the emperor's words, she suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. How could such a domineering emperor not care about his status.

Because the emperor hinted to her about getting married, Qin Yue was sulking with the emperor and stood aside to install wood, but after hearing Chu Xiu's words, she became excited again.
