king and his guard

Because of the new king's accession to the throne, various reforms and updates, and numerous trivial matters, the early court continued until lunch time before it came to an end.

Xue Ai didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, retreated, went to the Zheng Palace with Wu Shuang to have lunch, and after a short rest, began to review the mountain of memorials on the desk.

Wu Shuang studied ink for him by the side, occasionally took this memorial to read, or praised Xue Ai: "Your Majesty is wise!", "Your Majesty handled it so well!"

Xue Ai couldn't laugh anymore, pointed at him and said, "If you keep calling me Your Majesty, I will punish you!"

"Okay, okay, you scared me to death! Xiao Ai, is Xiao Ai okay?" Wu Shuang laughed.

Xue Ai felt satisfied just now, so she kneaded his waist and said sweetly: "I will always be your Xiao Ai, in this life and in the next life!"

Wu Shuang smiled, although there was no words on his mouth, but his heart was full of flowers, he lightly pointed at the memorial, and said softly: "The important thing is now, these words can't be said until night."

The memorials passed before Xue Ai's eyes, and they were busy until the evening, and Wu Shuang also stayed close to each other.

After having dinner in Zhengdian Palace, Xue Ai sent Wu Shuang back to Guangyuan Palace because he was afraid that Wu Shuang would be tired.

Not long after Wu Shuang left, Longli came, Xue Ai hurriedly stepped forward to salute, took his hand and said: "All the memorials have been reviewed, uncle please have a look!"

Longli picked up a few books at random and read them. If there were deficiencies, he pointed them out one by one. Xue Ai listened respectfully, reworked them, and kept them all in mind.

Longli was very satisfied with his performance, and couldn't help but think about today's going to court, so he asked him: "I heard that when you went to court early, you asked Wu Shuang to stand beside you, is there such a thing?"

Xue Ai hurriedly said: "Wu Shuang is my nephew's bodyguard, so it's all right to take him to court!"

Longli said: "Although he is your bodyguard, he can't accompany you to the court. This is the rule of my dynasty. Besides..."

Glancing at Xue Ai's face, he said: "I heard that since entering the palace, Wu Shuang has been in Guangyuan Palace, eating, drinking and living with you inseparable?"

Xue Ai immediately said: "Uncle also knows that although he and I are masters and servants, we have shared weal and woe through life and death. It has long been better than knowing brothers. Now that I have been honored in Jiuhua, I should treat him favorably. Because of the busy work, alienate him?"

Longli sneered and said: "Brother who knows you? In the eyes of outsiders, it may not be the case. Everything needs to be measured. If you don't handle it well, you can't help but damage your reputation, and it will even ruin your morals, not to mention that you are the king of a country!"

"Uncle, you are serious! Wu Shuang and I are indeed just close friends! However, people in the world often confuse right and wrong with right and wrong, so please don't believe in rumors, uncle!"

Seeing his anxious expression, Longli suddenly remembered the scene of seeing the two of them being intimate at the gate of the court hall that day, and became even more suspicious, so he changed the subject and said: "Now that the world is getting more and more stable, and the four directions are calm, the court affairs you Although it was handled properly, there is no one to take care of this harem, which is very inappropriate!"

Xue Ai was taken aback, the meaning of his uncle's words was very clear, the last thing he wanted was to come, but it was inevitable.

Xue Ai showed hesitation, and Longli couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "You are already in your twenties, let alone being a king, how can there be no one in the harem?"

Xue Ai pondered and said: "Nephew is planning to take Miss Sikong as his concubine."

Longli said: "Although her elder brother sacrificed his life for the country, but she came from a humble background, so it's fine to make her a side concubine. As for the queen, it is of great importance, so it must be chosen carefully!"

Xue Ai's heart trembled, and she hurriedly said: "Uncle is right! Since it's not a trivial matter, let's put it aside for now, so that we can choose carefully in the future!"

But Longli said with a smile: "No more! There is a perfect candidate right now."

Xue Ai bit her lips secretly, and heard Longli say again: "I have a very good relationship with Prime Minister Zuo. He has a daughter who just turned seventeen this year and is waiting in his boudoir. Regardless of her character and appearance, she is really a rare beauty. I will discuss this matter with your aunt early." After discussing it, your aunt is quite satisfied with Miss Jiang!"

No matter how good Ren Longli said, Xue Ai couldn't listen to a word, and was secretly anxious. He didn't want to be a queen at all, for that person, for that impossible result.

Longli saw his expression, and asked, "Ai'er, what do you think?"

Xue Ai frowned and said: "I have never met Jiang Wu's daughter, so... I have no feelings at all!"

Longli laughed: "Your aunt and I never knew each other before, isn't it better now?"

"Uncle!" Xue Ai suddenly called out, and retorted: "My nephew is busy with government affairs now, and there are still many affairs that have not been straightened out. I don't want to be distracted by the matter of becoming a successor. It is better to plan this matter later!"

Longli waved his hand and said: "Oh, it's okay! With uncle in charge, I don't need to worry too much. This harem is the foundation of the country. If the harem is unstable, the country will not be stable!"

Xue Ai was completely at a loss for words, but she still said stubbornly: "But I really don't want to be a queen yet!"

Longli couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "The harem cannot be left without a master for a day, it is related to the lifeblood of the country, there are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the greatest! The Nan clan is not prosperous at all, don't you want to watch this centuries-old foundation Doomed in your hands?!"

"Uncle, calm down! Let me think about this... this matter!" Seeing her uncle getting angry, Xue Ai panicked.

Longli said sharply: "This matter can't be delayed any longer! If you want to silence Youyou and cover up your affair with Wu Shuang, you must stand up immediately!"

Xue Ai was stunned and said: "Do you still believe those hearsay and think that Wu Shuang and I have behaved improperly?"

Longli said angrily: "Fucking stuff! How dare you ask me! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, when would I believe those hearsay? Let me ask you, what did you and him do at the gate of the court that day?!"

Xue Ai was suddenly surprised, it turned out that the sound of stones falling to the ground when she was close to Wu Shuang that day was discovered by her uncle!Immediately ashamed to death, speechless for a long time.

Longli pointed at him and said, "I was afraid of distracting you, so I tolerated you for a long time. I don't want you to get worse and become more unseemly! What else can you say?"

The matter has been revealed, and Xue Ai has to admit it frankly: "Yes! I like him, we are more like lovers as acquaintances, and only when I am with him can I truly experience peace of mind and hope, and please uncle!"
