Your Majesty, please accept my worship

Official career, of course, the real meaning is to get acquainted with the high-ranking officials in the court first, recognize each other's faces, engage in relationships and so on, and finally develop relationships in private, form cliques for personal gain and so on, although the court expressly prohibits officials from Pull factions into pairs, but this does not hinder people's subjective initiative.

As an honest person, He Yanping came to the banquet venue early on.Then I was embarrassed and didn't know whether to stand or sit. After all, no one came yet, only the eunuchs and maids were preparing back and forth.His ears were unknowingly red as if they were about to bleed, and he tried to look away, but the sight from behind was so hot because of his turning around, and he could even hear a sentence or two mixed in, making him want to leave here if.

"...It's really handsome, Hongyu Hongyu, you said that it would be great if you could marry the number one scholar..."

"Dream, you, just like you, you are not worthy to lift the shoes for Mr. He, let's just have an eye addiction."

"Hee hee, yes, pen by pen, you are the only one who is smart, don't you want...I am..."

……

He Yanping's neck almost froze, and he didn't know whether to turn around or not. Taking advantage of no one coming at this time, he decided to leave first to avoid it.

Zichen Palace.

"Your Majesty, if you want to turn over your cards tonight, the slave is also very good-"

Emperor Ming opened his arms, and let the palace maids in blue palace clothes dress him naturally. He casually glanced at Li Fu, the chief eunuch who had followed him for 13 years, and said casually: "Forget it, there is nothing lately." Mood. There are only a few of them, and I’m tired of watching them, and they fight every day, and I always have to go to the harem to deal with their aftermath. How could Concubine Liang do such a stupid thing last time? Anyway, she is also a second-rank concubine, and she even got into a scuffle with a small two people while walking. I went to check it later, and she looked like a shrew, with a few scratches on her neck. Listen to her The maid was chatting in private, and her hair was grabbed at the time, do you think his father and brother protected him too well? Well, the daughter of the first general of the Great Wei State? So majestic, hmph—”

Ming Emperor Zhu Rui's words were full of guns and sticks, and he continued to sneer, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with Concubine Liang and his family.Eunuch Li Fu, the chief eunuch with a high status in the harem who is no longer young, maintains a rigid respect on his face, but there is a kind smile in his eyes. This child is still the same as when he was a child.

"Your Majesty, you should use your honorific title instead of me." He sighed almost inaudibly, "You are the Ninth Five-Year Lord, you always do these... these...shameful things, if people know It really affects your image of being wise and martial."

"Li Fu, it's just you, me, and Sister Lu, who of you will tell?" Emperor Ming, who always had a sullen face, suddenly smiled, "Or, if someone knows my secret, then I Just give you poisonous wine and white silk?"

In the empty hall, the other two laughed helplessly, and the three of them were rare to relax, as if they had returned to the happy and unrestrained time of their childhood in the Temple of Sanctuary.

"The banquet is about to start, let's go." Emperor Ming impatiently raised his long legs and walked out, not seeing the hesitant expression of the chief eunuch behind him.

"Li Fu, is that person wandering by the mirror pool in front of us our No. [-] Scholar?" His Majesty the Emperor squinted his eyes, with an imperceptible smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, this slave's old eyes are dim and he can't see clearly, why don't you allow this old slave to come forward and have a look?" Li Fu arched his back, pressed his voice, and cooperated with his Majesty so as not to disturb the people wandering in front of him.

"Forget it, you all don't go forward, Li Fu, you follow me to have a look."

Although our Emperor's Majesty is late in learning martial arts, he is not as brave as generals, but at least he has practiced martial arts for several years. When it arrived behind He Yanping, it was almost silent and undetected.

"He Qing, why are you wandering around?"

There was a sudden sound, which hit He Yanping's heart.The whole person was startled, stepped back quickly, leaned back, and the wide official robe fell to the ground, and he stepped on it with one foot, almost falling into the mirror pool.

"what--"

Before his feet left the ground, he felt a strong arm around his waist, holding him back, a burst of hot air hit his ears, and his red tide that had just subsided instantly floated up with the hot air.Emperor Ming looked at the beauty in his arms, which was like a delicate cloth printed and dyed with superb techniques, and gradually covered with fascinating colors. He looked at it pleasingly for a while, and felt a slight vibration of his arm, which was a sign that the person in his arms spoke.

"Your Majesty—"

"Aiqing is so careless, but luckily I'm quick, otherwise I'll find someone to go down the pond to catch you." As he spoke, he naturally let go of his arms, and took two steps away to stand still.Only then did He Yanping see Li Fu, the chief eunuch standing three or four meters away in front of him, and a dozen more court ladies and eunuchs standing a little further away.For a while, the red tide on the ears tended to spread again.He took a few steps back in a hurry, forgot to even lift the corner of his clothes, and was about to kneel down.He was pulled up by a hand, and that hand pulled him up with irresistible heat and strength. When he looked up, it was indeed Emperor Ming, but the smile on Emperor Ming's face made him realize that he was impolite. He was almost ashamed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm being rude." Seeing his blushing face, stammering and speaking inconveniently, Emperor Ming felt that the other party was cute no matter how he looked, and wished he could hold his face in his arms and rub his face a few times. The hand hidden under the sleeve was about to move a few more times.

"Why is Aiqing being rude? It is obvious that I suddenly made a sound, and I still want to see what beautiful scenery attracts He Qing. The banquet is about to begin."

"Chen, Chen," he gritted his teeth, "I didn't know the way and strayed into the inner palace, and I don't know the way back."

Emperor Ming felt that the other party must be dying of embarrassment and anger, and his face flushed red.

In fact, He Yanping was really ashamed and angry.Just being conferred the title of editor by the Imperial Academy, he made a fool of himself in front of His Majesty, and he really failed His Majesty's high expectations.

"Haha, He Qing, ah He Qing, you are so good, what should I say about you. Don't get entangled, let's go, the banquet will start soon, you are the protagonist tonight, how can you be late?"

After announcing the start of the banquet, the process is the same as usual.

Let's play, dance, and beauties.

Looking at the beauties dancing under the stage, Emperor Ming felt that he just couldn't get up.Ever since he was taken out of the Temple of Sanctuary at the age of ten, he has attended this kind of banquet every year. He still remembers that when he attended for the first time, he stared at him without blinking, and was ridiculed by them for a while. Until later, when I became emperor, I had to attend several banquets every year, so I gradually became numb and didn't know what it was like.He glanced off the stage, a group of beautiful dancers were out of his sight, he just moved away with a sweep, turned around, and his eyes stayed on one person.

He probably drank alcohol, and his jade-colored skin was stained a little red. He sat upright and didn't dare to look in the direction of the dancer. Occasionally, when he glanced at it, his eyes fluttered better than everyone else's.Emperor Ming's eyes were firmly attached to him. He obviously didn't drink much, but he felt as if he was drunk.

When He Yanping looked up, Emperor Ming didn't move his eyes away as if guilty, but raised the wine cup in his hand, raised it from a distance, and uttered it in one gulp, then watched the other party pour it down in a hurry with a smile. While serving the wine, I accidentally touched the jug, but luckily my hand didn't spill the wine.When He Yanping finished drinking, Emperor Ming not only laughed out loud.It also attracted Li Fu who was beside him to take a curious look.

"Your Majesty, the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms in Shanglin Garden are so dazzling, and our top three are all here, with beautiful scenery and talented people. If we don't do something elegant, wouldn't we be sorry for the beauty of this beautiful day?" The bearded old man stroked his trembling goatee, looking half-drunk.Although he was speaking towards Emperor Ming, his eyes were on He Yanping.If this kind of disrespectful thing is sober, presumably this old man and high official will never do it.

"Oh, according to Qing, what is considered elegant?"

"Naturally, it's like reciting poems, playing the piano and playing music. This is my scholar's, er, elegant taste." As he spoke, he hiccupped, which caused some people sitting at the same table to laugh for a while.Annoyed, he glared at his seatmate and was also annoyed.

"Let's ask our No. [-] scholar to compose a song first. We have only heard of his name but have never seen the great talent that No. [-] student is praised for?"

These were obviously sour words, yet the heartless He Yanping became serious and modest.I didn't see the old man give a shameful glance when he sat down.

"If you compose a song indiscriminately, you won't be able to get on the stage."

He Yanping walked a few steps, picked a peach blossom and sniffed it lightly, then slowly walked back to his seat.

"Thousands of plants are dewy, where can they shine red. The wind is warm in the fairyland, and the spring is peaceful——"

"ah--"

bathing

The clear voice was only halfway through when it was interrupted by a sharp female voice.A voice that can be regarded as enjoying is reciting poetry, everyone is listening to it, but it is interrupted by someone, and the voice is so abrupt, so everyone looked at it dissatisfied, and found a maid serving the banquet was kneeling on the ground trembling at the moment , obviously knew that he had made a big mistake.

Her feet were stained with a puddle of liquid, and the corners of her skirt were also wet.Under Ming Emperor's obviously majestic and dissatisfied eyes, everyone wanted to shrink into a ball, so he found a hole to get in and disappeared here.She was still holding a long-necked wine jug with a big belly and white porcelain pattern. At this moment, because of her panic, the clear wine flowed out and wasted.
