After marriage and marriage, I became the favorite of the group

The door of the hall was wide open, the night wind suddenly blew up, the candlelight flickered on and off, and He Lianzhu's face was dimly illuminated.

His face was livid, his neck was stiff, his molars were clenched tightly, and the veins on his neck were bulging. He was obviously very angry, but he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Ruan Jiu's hand was held tightly by him, and he didn't relax for a moment, for fear that he would run away too.

Ruan Jiu was in pain from being caught by him, tears were about to come out.

Then he caught a glimpse of the regent standing behind him out of the corner of his eye, he was startled, thought, raised his hand that was not held, and stroked He Lianzhu's hair.

He Lianzhu was still in a daze, lost in thought, Ruan Jiushun patted his head with his hair, and whispered in his ear: "I'll go over and have a look, and then I'll go."

He Lianzhu didn't respond, as if he didn't hear what he was saying, instead he held Ruan Jiu's other hand.

This time, both of Ruan Jiu's hands were grabbed.

Ruan Jiu took another look, and the regent had already arrived in the apse.

He stood in front of He Lianzhu, lowered his head slightly, resting his forehead on He Lianzhu's forehead, and looked into his eyes.

How strange.He Lianzhu suddenly thought, Ruan Jiu is from Liang, but has a pair of pale eyes; he is from Liang, but has dark eyes from Liang.

too weird.

Ruan Jiu blew on his face, like a feather brushing against him, making him feel divine.

Seeing that He Lianzhu blinked, and the light in his eyes was bright again, Ruan Jiu opened his mouth.

"Don't go over, I'll go over and have a look, if there's nothing serious, I'll go first."

Until this time, He Lianzhu's clenched teeth were slightly loosened, Ruan Jiu squeezed his hand, and said again: "Huh?"

I haven't spoken for a long time, and my voice is hoarse.

It was like a lone wolf that had been bitten by the neck, and the blood was still dripping from the blood hole in its throat.

He Lianzhu nodded and responded, "...."

He responded like this, but Ruan Jiu didn't leave.

After standing like this for a while, Ruan Jiu raised his hands: "Let go of my hands."

He Lianzhu resolutely said: "No."

Ruan Jiu was about to be laughed angrily by him: "How can I get over if you don't let go?"

It took Helen Chuton a while, about an event, to understand the connection.

Sensing that his hand was slightly relaxed, Ruan Jiu took his hand away, and rubbed his head with both hands, messing up his hair: "You wait here."

Ruan Jiu went to the apse, and Eunuch Zhou made room for him.

"queen."

Ruan Jiu responded and sat down by the couch.

The queen mother is still awake, lying on the couch, her face is pale and sweaty.

Ruan Jiu took the handkerchief and wiped the Queen Mother's face, Eunuch Zhou: "What's the reason?"

Zhou Gonggong said: "The imperial doctor said it was the turn of winter and spring, and I was overworked."

"Yeah." Ruan Jiu nodded, and turned to see the concerned Prince Regent, feeling that something was wrong.

Eunuch Zhou took the handkerchief from him, and said with concern: "The imperial doctor said it's nothing serious, just rest up for a while. The young master and the king have been guarding outside for so long. It's late now, so let's go to bed early. I'm here to guard it." .”

"Then, then I will take the king first."

Ruan Jiu got up and glanced at the regent before leaving.

The regent had been on the battlefield for a long time, and now he was wearing casual clothes, but he couldn't hide his murderous aura.

Ruan Jiu was a little shorter than him, and he couldn't overwhelm him in terms of momentum.

But Ruan Jiu wanted to stare at him until he noticed it and looked over.

The regent had never met him, let alone talked to him. At this time, he was looking at him like this, and the regent only felt strange, and asked, "Is there something else to do with the queen?"

Ruan Jiu had a stern face, and said "viciously", "The regent will pay attention to his words and deeds in the future."

The regent raised his eyes and looked at him with anger. Ruan Jiu stood where he was and looked over, not to be outdone.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch Zhou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty seems to be waking up."

The regent took one last look at Ruan Jiu, and then went to see the Queen Mother.

After Ruan Jiu turned and left, Eunuch Zhou lowered his voice and said to the regent, "My lord, don't take it to heart, the queen has no other intentions."

The regent was silent.

"Today is at the palace banquet, civil and military officials are all present, and the empress is surrounded by servants, who are no slower than you. You go directly to the gods and give the king's biological mother..." Eunuch Zhou glanced at him. Slapping your majesty in the face, and going to the capital city tomorrow, I don’t know how many rumors there will be.”

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow."

The regent took the blanket from his attendant and was just about to cover it up for the Empress Dowager before taking it to the bedroom.Before she could reach out her hand, the queen mother opened her eyes, but it was the queen mother who stretched out her hand first, slapped him on the face first.

The regent turned his face to one side, but he didn't care. He quickly turned his head and knelt down on the spot: "Sister."

Eunuch Zhou hurriedly sent away a group of attendants, the queen mother stretched her hands and tried a few times before sitting up: "What's the matter with you?"

The regent quickly admitted his mistake without even thinking about it: "Sister, it's not me."

"Xiao Jiu asked you to pay attention to your words and deeds. You should pay attention to your words and deeds. Why are you staring at him?"

"Yes."

The Queen Mother raised her hand, and the Regent and Eunuch Zhou went to help at the same time, of course the Regent took the lead.

The queen mother pushed his hand away, put it on and handed it to Eunuch Zhou, and got up to leave, but was held back by the regent.

"Sister." He stood up, bowed his head and said a word beside the Queen Mother.

He had a happy expression, but looked at the Queen Mother with doubts.He was not sure if the Queen Mother would like this child.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she paused when she was about to leave: "Really?"

The regent nodded vigorously: "Really."

The queen mother closed her eyes, but the regent thought he was uncomfortable, and reached out to help, but was pushed away again.

The Empress Dowager caressed her belly affectionately, and when she opened her eyes again, the tenderness in her eyes had long since disappeared, she felt a little disgusted, and felt a headache and distress: "It's only once..." Finally, she made up her mind: "I can't keep this son."

It was like giving an order to inform the regent that the queen mother was really uncomfortable and didn't care much about his reaction, so she took Eunuch Zhou and left.

The regent king was struck by lightning and stayed in place for a moment, trying to catch up quickly: "Sister..."

Duke Zhou stopped him with his head: "Your Highness, Your Majesty said that the time of the imperial confinement has passed long ago, and it will be a breaking of the rules for His Royal Highness to come. You'd better get out of the palace quickly."

The chariot was already waiting in front of the apse, and the Empress Dowager got on the chariot with her head bowed under the support of several attendants.

On the other side, Ruan Jiu took He Lianzhu to the bedroom.

Seeing that he finally came, Ulan, who was staying in the palace, rushed forward to meet him: "It can be counted as coming."

Seeing He Lianzhu's face, he naturally didn't dare to say more, but lowered his voice and said to Ruan Jiu: "Queen, I have already prepared the washing things, so go to bed after washing."

"."

"Do you want Ulan to stay and serve?"

"Hmm..." Ruan Jiu glanced at He Lianzhu, "No, you can wait outside."

Ruan Jiu pushed He Lianzhu into the room: "Go, go in and take a shower."

Ulan closed the door, and Ruan Jiu rubbed He Lianzhu's head: "The whole body is full of alcohol, you wash it first, I will wait for you here."

After speaking, Ruan Jiu pushed him behind the screen and told him to take off his clothes, and then he found a small bench and sat outside the screen.

Of course he knew that He Lianzhu was in a bad mood, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Ruan Jiu supported his head, thought for a while, and called out: "Little pig."

A muffled sound came from behind the screen: "Huh?"

"I..." Ruan Jiulai wanted to say, I had a friend before, and he had no relationship with his mother, and he also wanted to say, I had a friend before, and he had no relationship with his uncle.

He thought about it, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He didn't understand Helian Zhu's matter at all.

After a while, the rustling of changing clothes inside changed to the sound of water.

Ruan Jiu switched hands to support his head, feeling a little bored.

He came here to comfort Helian Zhu, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

So what is he doing sitting here?Like the guy in the bathhouse who scrubs for others...

Before the words were finished in his mind, He Lianzhu yelled: "Ruan Jiu."

Ruan Jiu responded angrily, "What are you doing?"

He Lianzhu had a coquettish tone: "I want you to rub your head."

"No, my hands are sore."

Ruan Jiu didn't want to go, if he wanted to, he was really a boy in the bathhouse.

He wants to be a boy, that is also a boy who butchers pigs.

Seeing that he didn't come, Helian Zhu didn't speak.

Ruan Jiu sat outside for a while, and after a while, he realized that there had been no sound from behind the screen for a long time, not even the sound of water.

Ruan Jiu suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, and looked up, but he didn't see He Lianzhu's figure.

Suspecting that he had read it wrong, he got up and went around the screen to look again. There was indeed no one in the bathtub.

It can't be drowning, can it?Or just run?

"Helian Zhu?"

Ruan Jiu became nervous, rushed over to look, and saw that his clothes were still hanging on the hanger, thinking about it, he shouldn't have been distracted just now, why didn't this one person disappear?

Ruan Jiu took a few steps back, leaned on the tub, looked down, and found that He Lianzhu was sinking in the tub.It's just that he was completely submerged in the water, so Ruan Jiu couldn't see it when he looked outside.

Seeing that Ruan Jiu saw him, he also looked over in the water, blinking his dark eyes, looking a little aggrieved.

Ruan Jiu asked him: "What are you doing in the water? You scared me. I thought you ran out without even your clothes on. Are you a wild wolf?"

He Lianzhu was in the water, vaguely heard his voice, and saw his appearance, but also separated by a wave of water.

He smiled, then came out of the water, still smiling, a little coquettishly: "I want you to come in."

He turned his back and clasped his arms on the edge of the tub: "Ruan Chiu, I want to rub my head."

Ruan Jiu raised his hand and pressed his head: "Then you should go into the water."

That's what he said, but he still tugged at Helian Zhu's curly hair floating on the water: "Come here."

"Oh." Helian Zhu shunned the edge of the tub, slid in front of Ruan Jiu, and lowered his head in front of him, "The king's hat is a bit heavy."

Ruan Jiu mopped the stool over and sat down, rubbing his head.

Like a big dog soaked in water.

Ruan Jiu responded casually, "It should be over in a few years."

He Lianzhu lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly: "Yes."

Ruan Jiu stopped what he was doing, and turned around to get the aloe vera—it was a strange plant that grew in the desert. When he was in Xiyuan, Ruan Jiu found that it was slippery, and it was good for washing hair. Just dig two plants, plant them in pots, and use them as you pick them.

But before he could pass by, He Lianzhu grabbed his sleeve with his wet paws: "Don't want that, just be soft and knead."

"Kneading all the time?"

"Yeah." Helian Zhujin nodded, "Kneading all the time."

Ruan Jiu only obeyed his wishes and rubbed his head for him.

Ruan Jiu didn't know what was the point of just "kneading" like this.

Not understanding, Ruan Jiu looked down at him, rubbed his hands, and pinched his face.

He Lianzhu also raised his head and smiled at him, then lightly bit his thumb that was placed next to the corner of his mouth, grinding his teeth like a puppy.

Ruan Jiu frowned: "All the saliva got on my hands, it wasn't like this when Mi Fan was young."

Helian Zhu bit his finger and just smiled at him.

Stupid, like the Helian Zhugen who was so angry that he wanted to kill him just now is not him.

After a while, Ruan Jiu took his hands away, and wiped all the dirty hands on He Lianzhu's hair.

Helian Zhu stared at him with big twinkling eyes, "Ruanjiu, will you always stand by my side?"

"Well, of course." Ruan Jiu nodded, "I have always..."

Very polite.

At this time, Ulan suddenly said outside the door: "Your Majesty, Queen, the water should be cold, do you want to change the water?"

It was only then that Ruan Jiu came to his senses: "You've been washing for so long, get up quickly."

He got up to put on the scarf over there, Helian Zhu looked at his back, suddenly stood up from the water with a splash, and then hugged him from behind.

The water that hadn't been wiped was printed on Ruan Jiu's body, and the water dripped down Ruan Jiu's neck and slipped into his collar.

Ruan Jiu was shocked: "Why is the water so cold? Do you like taking cold showers?"

Maybe it was because of soaking in cold water for too long, He Lianzhu's voice was deep and low: "I don't like it very much."

He Lianzhu stood in the tub, tiptoeing quietly.

In this way, he is one year taller than Ruan Jiu, and he can still see the top of Ruan Jiu's hair.

It's a completely different feeling.

Ruan Jiu threw the towel to him, covering his head: "Wipe it, and then come out."

He Lianzhu hugged his waist, fell back and sat down again.Hug Ruan Jiu together.

Before Ruan Jiu realized how he was dragged into the water by the puppy, he was already in the water.

How can this happen?

He wiped his face and tried to stand up, but was held down by the dog's paw on his waist.

He Lianzhu looked like a puppy, maybe his was a puppy.

If you are happy, you will play and gnaw lightly. If you can hug another companion, roll twice in a small puddle to get the fur wet, and then slowly lick it clean. , then the most.

Regardless of whether the other party is a puppy, he doesn't like this "exposed" barbaric expression at all.

The other party is a soft chirp, why would it like to roll in puddles?

Ruan Jiu solemnly protested!

Later, He Lianzhu got up from the water, put on his coat, and went out to let Ulan come in to change the water.

Ruan Jiu wrapped He Lianzhu's dry clothes and sat with his back to him.

Decadent, not wanting to talk at all.

Ulan really couldn't stand it, and reminded: "Queen, be careful."

"En." Ruan Jiu responded with a strong nasal voice.

Ulan's gaze swiveled between the two of them a few times, and Ruan Jiu complained, "If it wasn't for that puppy, would I be able to do this?"

"..." Ulan suddenly realized, "Oh!"

When Ulan changed the water, Ruan Jiu drove them both out.

He takes a nice hot bath by himself.

By the time I finished washing, it was already very late.

There were too many things to do today, and Ruan Jiu was really tired, so he climbed onto the bed, closed his eyes and went straight to sleep.

He Lianzhu seemed to be out to arrange something, when he came, there was only one candle left in the room, Ruan Jiu covered his head and was already asleep.

He Lianzhu folded her hands, sat beside him, pinched his nose, and then pinched his fingers, unable to stop at all.

He emphasized to Ruan Jiu very solemnly: "You said you would always stand by my side."

Ruan Jiu smacked his lips, in Helian Zhu's eyes, this meant agreement.

The first is Qi, bright and clear, cloudless.

Eunuch Zhou was alone, hurriedly walking from outside Wan'an Palace.

"Miss."

The Empress Dowager was leaning on the couch, her eyes were black and blue, obviously she hadn't rested.

Eunuch Zhou continued: "I sent someone to inquire in the city, and there was no rumor. The palace banquet was successfully concluded yesterday, and nothing happened."

The queen mother rubbed her temples: "That's it."

Eunuch Zhou hesitated: "The "medicine" that my mother asked me to get, I will also bring it, if you want it now..."

"Yeah." The Queen Mother nodded, "Go cook the 'medicine'."

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Zhou knelt down.

"Go cook the 'medicine'."

"I'm afraid the regent knows..."

"What are you afraid of him doing?" The Queen Mother sat up, "Are you his or mine? I will never keep this child."

Seeing annoyed, Eunuch Zhou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the servant is afraid... Your Majesty still depends on the Regent for military power, if..."

"For so many years, even if I don't have this child, I will be tied to him. He can't vote for anyone else." The Queen Mother glanced at Eunuch Zhou, saw that he was indeed thinking of herself, sighed, and stepped forward to help him up.

The queen mother said earnestly: "I know you are kind-hearted, but you think, when I first came here, I was precarious, and after so many years of being a child, it was not easy to secure the position of queen mother and secure power. This child was an accident. Drinking, plus Sul and him..."

Well, let's not talk about this matter.

"He's a lunatic, and everyone in Helian's family is lunatic."

"He Lian Zhujin is also very old, if he finds out, he will never tolerate this child. If I keep the child, it will be like burying my wife by my side."

"Besides, even if He Lianzhu didn't find out, I secretly raised the child, what about the future? When the child grows up and has the ability to protect himself, it will take about ten years. You know me, I'm a person who counts on one's life. , whether I can live for ten years or not is not certain, if I die and Helian Zhu takes power, he will inevitably die by then."

"Death sooner or later is death. This child is still dying in my stomach. This is not good for me or him."

Eunuch Zhou raised his head, and was taken aback by the extremely clear and rational look in the Queen Mother's eyes.

I don't like things that are beyond my control, not at all.

"At this time, before I feel anything." The queen mother pressed her palms on her stomach, and said to Zhou Gonggong in a gentle voice, "Besides, giving birth to a child is so painful, and if I give birth to a Helianzhu, I will already be at the gate of hell. I don't want to give birth to another child for the Helian family, it really hurts too much."

"Go ahead, cook the 'medicine' quickly."

Eunuch Zhou was persuaded, and finally nodded: "Yes, I'll go right away."

When Ruan Jiu arrived in Wan'an Palace, he smelled a smell of medicine.

That's right, the queen mother fainted yesterday. Although the imperial doctor said it was not a big deal, it must be something serious, and two doses of "medicine" should be boiled.

Ruan Jiu walked in with his things in his arms, and the queen mother was covering the blanket, sitting on the couch, winking at him: "Come here, Xiao Jiu."

Ruan Jiu suddenly felt that although he had never met He Lianzhu's father, He Lianzhu looked a bit like the Queen Mother.

Especially a pair of eyes.

Rational and calm, rule out all distracting thoughts, only stare at your target accurately, without any scruples.

Even a faint smile is sometimes not real.Of course, most of the time he looked at Ruan Jiu and Ruan Jiu, he was sincere.

Ruan Jiu put things on the table: "Yesterday, the Empress Dowager suddenly fainted, so I'll bring some supplements."

Why did he also start calling the queen mother?

The queen mother smiled and waved to him: "Come and sit."

Ruan Jiu sat over, squeezed his sleeves, and wanted to speak, but was preempted by the Queen Mother.

"I know what happened at the palace banquet yesterday, and I have sent someone to deal with it. No one will talk about it. You can rest assured the king, this matter..." The Queen Mother pursed her lips, "I am sorry for him. "

"Ah."

"The regent's side, I also told him, he is a mad dog, who will bite anyone when he is crazy, don't worry about him."

This is not a very good description, Ruan Jiu didn't dare to nod.

The queen mother was obviously in a bad mood, so she insisted on talking to him for a while.After what happened yesterday, Ruan Jiu also felt a little uncomfortable.

At last the Queen Mother took his hand and made up her mind again.

This child is very good, I like him, He Lianzhu also likes him, nothing will happen.No other children are needed.

To a certain extent, the eyes of his mother and son are still the same.

Then Eunuch Zhou came to report: "Your Majesty, the 'drug' is fried..."

Eunuch Zhou obviously didn't expect Ruan Jiu to be there, so he stopped talking halfway.

The Empress Dowager often said: "Put it first, let it cool down before bringing it up."

As soon as the words were finished, Ulan's voice also sounded outside the door: "Madam, the king asked the queen to go, and the queen has not finished her homework for today."

The queen mother poked Ruan Jiu's forehead, and said with a smile: "So you came here to hide from your homework, go quickly."

"Then." Ruan Jiu had no choice but to stand up and resign, and go with Ulan.

When he got up in the morning, He Lianzhu urged Ruan Jiu to do his homework—when he came to Shangjing, Mr. Liu gave him homework, and if he could go to Xiyuan, he still wanted to read it.

Of course Ruan Jiu didn't like to write, and he didn't expect Ulan to chase after him to Wan'an Palace.

Ulan walked on the outside of the palace road, paying attention to the surrounding situation, and said with a smile: "If the queen doesn't do her homework anymore, after a while, she will have to finish it in one night like last time, so let's do it."

"Well." Ruan Jiu kicked the hem of his clothes, "I'll just write, Helian Zhu is always in charge."

Ulan turned her head and glanced in the direction of Wan'an Palace behind her.

Wan'an Palace is located on the west side of the Jiwu Palace. The palace is magnificent, and there are palace roads on both sides.On the right is the Daedeok Palace in the center where the emperor lived, and on the left is the outside of the palace, separated by a palace wall.

At this time, the left and right sides of Wan'an Palace——

On the right side of the palace road is Ulan escorting Ruan Jiu's bedroom.

On the left side of the palace road, the regent king is disheveled and barefoot, with a long sword in his hand, about to rush into Wan'an Palace.A group of guards couldn't stop him, they backed away in shock from his red eyes.

Across the palace, one side was calm and the other side was flustered, no one could see anyone.

Ruan Jiu was only halfway along the palace road when he saw Helian Zhu.

He Lianzhu leaned against the wall and waited for him: "Ruanjiu, are you coming out?"

"Yeah." Ruan Jiu was still unhappy, "Isn't it just doing homework, it's not like I don't write, I keep urging me."

He Lianzhu pretended that he didn't hear anything, grabbed his hand, pulled him and ran away.

He pulled Ruan Jiu to Dade Palace, pulled Ruan Jiu into the threshold, and closed the palace door with his backhand.

It seemed to keep the regent's heart-piercing, crying "Sister" out of Wan'an Palace.

He Lianzhu pressed his hands on the palace gate, turned his back to Ruan Jiu, and smiled with his head down. .
