After listening to Shuoyu's heartfelt words, Shen Ying nodded happily, "I didn't expect you to be so enlightened."

Shuoyu lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly: "This servant is stupid, it's just that I have been with the emperor for a long time, and I have learned a little bit from the emperor."

After tonight, Shen Ying began to look at Shuo Yu with admiration, no matter which court lady or eunuch in the palace, who doesn't dream that one day they can fly on a branch and become a phoenix?If King An is interested in other people, there are probably one hundred and one thousand of them who are willing to serve King An. After all, it is better to be the master of the prince's mansion than to serve others in the palace.

There are very few people like Shuoyu who can maintain their sanity and sobriety.

Shuoyu is ambitious, dares to fight for herself, knows how to measure, and tells Shen Ying her thoughts bluntly. In this era where the concept of distinction between superiority and inferiority is deeply rooted, Shuoyu can have this kind of courage to fight against fate. The spirit of surrendering to an unfair fate is especially commendable.

Shen Ying began to admire this little eunuch who had chosen to stand by him from the very beginning, but she didn't expect that Shen Xuan's behavior was absurd on weekdays, and on rare occasions when he had a good eye, he discovered a dusty pearl.

What's even more ridiculous is that the prince of the county fell in love with the young eunuch, but the eunuch looked down on the prince of the county. If Shen Xuan knew Shuoyu's thoughts, he would be stunned to death on the spot.

Shen Ying thought wickedly, since Shuoyu didn't want to serve Shen Xuan, why should he be a good person in vain, let Shen Xuan keep on unrequited love, and hope that Shen Xuan will not blame him when he knows the truth in the future.

Shen Yingshuang could already see the red lanterns hanging at the gate of Linyang Marquis Mansion.Clamping the horse's belly with his legs, he let the horse speed up. When he reached the gate of the Hou Mansion, Shuo Yu got off the horse first, and then went to help Shen Ying.

After Shen Ying got off the horse, she threw the whip in her hand to Shuoyu, looked at Shuoyu and smiled, "From tomorrow onwards, you should also go to the inner school to study, if you have the ambition, then study hard, don't worry about it." Let me down."

Shuoyu's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she knelt and kowtowed overjoyed: "My servant, I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

The food-giving team entered the Linyang Marquis Mansion, which was different from Ding Xingwang's mansion of other families. Gu Min had no wife, no children, and no relatives. The mansion was deserted during the New Year's Eve, and there was no sense of New Year. Others sat around with a large family They eat the New Year's Eve dinner together and watch the New Year lively, but in Linyang Hou's mansion, apart from the servants, there is only Gu Min who is alone.

The entire Xu family was ransacked, leaving only Gu Min alone in the world. In this day of family reunion, I am afraid it will only arouse his sadness even more.

Shen Ying thought that she was right this time. In this world, like Gu Min, he has no relatives, and he can't feel the taste of being reunited with his family, so in a sense, they are also considered to be the same. people.

After waiting in the courtyard for a while, Gu Min came out from the inner courtyard to greet him belatedly.

It was a cold winter night, but Gu Min came out to receive the order wearing only a thin cloak. He was tall and straight, and walked over with steady steps, like a vigorous green cypress, born with a persevering temperament that is not afraid of the severe cold and wind and snow .

After getting closer, Shen Ying quietly raised her head and quickly glanced at the man's face. His appearance hadn't changed much, he was still as handsome as before, but for some reason, those deep eyes that were as lacquer as ink were more beautiful than usual. It moved him even more.

Gu Min drank wine at night, and there were not many lights in the yard, so the light was dim, so Gu Min didn't notice Shen Ying who was mixed with the inner prison team for a while.

Since the last time Gu Min asked himself to think behind closed doors, the two hadn't seen each other for more than ten days. They both said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed, but now Shen Ying understands what it's like. Hugging him tightly, kissing him, wishing that the two of them could stick together from now on and never be separated again.

Gu Min lowered his head and didn't notice Shen Ying, Shen Ying kept silent all the time, he was a little bit impressed by his concentration, but he was able to hold back at this time.

It wasn't until the inner eunuch finished giving the food that Gu Min raised his head, and ordered the housekeeper to stuff a banknote into the inner eunuch, and the emperor watched from behind, how could the inner eunuch dare to accept Gu Min's money, his head shook like a rattle, and he refused. Refusing to accept, "Master Hou is too polite, our family is under orders, how dare we take your money, please take it back quickly!"

Gu Min said indifferently: "Elder-in-law has to work hard to go out of the palace for the New Year's Eve. This little money can be used to buy wine for Eunuch. It will be auspicious for the New Year's Eve."

The inner eunuch still resolutely refused to accept it, so Gu Min did not force it, walked to the inner eunuch and asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask Eunuch, does the emperor have something for you to bring to this Marquis?"

The inner eunuch replied according to what Shen Ying taught him: "Go back to Lord Hou, the emperor has no words to let our family be taken out of the palace."

Gu Min frowned in disappointment, and asked in disbelief, "How could it be? Could it be that Eunuch forgot?"

The inner eunuch smiled and said: "Our family is not so old and deaf that we can't even remember the emperor's orders. The emperor really has nothing to ask our family to bring to you, Lord Hou! But..."

Gu Min thought that something happened to Shen Ying in the palace to forget the agreement between them, and he was worried, but he heard that there seemed to be a turning point in the eunuch's words, so he hurriedly asked, "But what?"

"Although the emperor has nothing to say to Lord Hou, he asked our family to bring someone to Lord Hou." The inner eunuch stepped aside so that Gu Min could see Shen Ying who was hiding behind him, and said with a smile, "Master Hou, please look." , who is here?"

Gu Min squinted his eyes and took a closer look, only to feel that the outline of the chin of the little eunuch with his head bowed in front of him looked very familiar, and his figure was also very similar to the person who haunted him in his dreams. Before Gu Min could react, Shen Ying He raised his head, and looked at Gu Min with a smile that was not a smile, "What? In just a few days, I can't even recognize him?"

The originally indifferent expression on Gu Min's face turned into ecstasy in an instant. He took two steps forward and grabbed Shen Ying's arm, wanting to embrace Shen Ying immediately, but there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes of eunuchs and guards watching him. He could only restrain the throbbing in his heart, suppress the emotion that was about to overflow in his voice, and asked Shen Ying in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, why did you leave the palace?"

Shen Ying stretched out her hand and quietly grabbed Gu Min's sleeve, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "On New Year's Eve, of course I'm going home to celebrate the New Year."

Gu Min's heart was burned by the word "go home", she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, and whispered in Shen Ying's ear, "You can seduce me deliberately."

The good night is short, and Shen Ying didn't want to waste time, so she turned to the inner eunuch and guards and said, "Okay, Shuoyu can stay and serve, and everyone else should go back first, I will spend the night at Linyang Marquis Mansion tonight."

After Shen Ying finished speaking, Gu Min directly took Shen Ying's hand and walked quickly into the inner courtyard. If there were no people watching from behind, Gu Min actually wanted to carry Shen Ying up and run back to the bedroom. Can't wait anymore.

It was not the first time for the servants in the Hou's mansion to pick up the driver. Once they saw this posture, they knew what was going to happen next, and they all hid away from Gu Min's courtyard, so as not to hear something they shouldn't hear, Shuo Yu hurriedly ordered the back kitchen to prepare hot water. It would be good to prepare a few more stoves. Tonight, there may be several times inside.

The bedroom door was closed, and as soon as Shen Ying entered the room, Gu Min pressed his shoulders against the door, and started directly from the door.

"I miss you so much..." Gu Min lowered his head and pressed it against Shen Ying's forehead, his breath, which still smelled of wine, swept towards Shen Ying like a tide, domineering and enthusiastic, "You don't know what I'm doing right now. How happy I am."

Shen Ying put her arms around Gu Min's neck, folded her hands behind Gu Min's head, raised her head and looked at him with crooked eyes, "I know, that's why I came out of the palace to give you this surprise, Happy New Year's Eve, Your Excellency. "

"I love this surprise."

Gu Min didn't waste time talking anymore, actions are often more powerful and direct than words at this time.

He pinched Shen Ying's chin with one hand and lifted it up to kiss it heavily, the tip of his tongue penetrated along the parted lips and invaded recklessly, exchanging saliva and breath.

The other hand hastily tore off the eunuch's uniform on Shen Ying's body, and stretched it in from the lapel. The slender fingertips were still slightly cool. Shen Ying's body shrank involuntarily due to the ice, which was noticed by Gu Min. Afterwards, the nimble fingertips burrowed into the place where he was most ticklish more and more mischievously.

The ice melts and the snow melts, and the red plum blossoms.

Clothes fell off the floor one by one, spreading from the door to the Babu bed in the room. The charcoal basin in the room was burning very vigorously. The longing I hadn't seen for more than ten days turned into enthusiasm, even if I didn't cover the quilt. Neither will feel cold.

Gu Min seemed to have turned the surprise that Shen Ying gave him into motivation. He said sweet words full of tenderness, but his actions were not gentle, as if he wanted to put the pain of lovesickness he had suffered for the past ten days on Shen Ying. Get them all back.

Poor Shen Ying has never begged for mercy from anyone since the day he became the emperor, only Gu Mi made him willing to let go of his posture and said the words of begging for mercy over and over again, but he didn't know that it aroused the man's desire to conquer... …

The Babu bed creaked for a long time, and when the room became quiet again, Shen Ying didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

Gu Min hugged Shen Ying from behind, contentedly rubbing his chin against Shen Ying's neck, as if he still wanted more, Shen Ying slapped his face impatiently, "It seems that you have been shutting yourself in the mansion for the past few days and thinking about taking care of yourself. Not bad, so fierce?"

Gu Min smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for more than ten days. If I don't show myself well, how can I prove my loyalty to the emperor? The emperor just needs to test me tonight."

Shen Ying snorted: "I believe your loyalty is uncompromising, there is no need to test it."

"That won't work." Gu Min's hands started to be irregular again, "It's not enough to check once, the emperor is too careless."

Less than a quarter of an hour before the end of the previous round, Shen Ying really couldn't muster up the energy to rush to the next round, so she hurriedly pressed Gu Min's hand, and changed the subject, "Have you had dinner tonight?"

Gu Min: "Yes, I ate."

Shen Ying asked with interest: "What did you eat?"

Gu Min thought for a while and said, "Chicken, duck, fish, and glutinous rice balls."

Shen Ying picked up the quilt and covered her body, turned over and faced Gu Min, "Tangyuan? No dumplings?"

Gu Min casually played with Shen Ying's strand of black hair, "No."

Shen Ying opened her eyes wide: "How can you not eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?"

Gu Min raised his eyebrows, "I have lived in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years, and I never eat dumplings during Chinese New Year there."

Shen Ying said dissatisfiedly: "But you are in the capital now, and every family here eats dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Do you know that when you go to the countryside, do as the Romans do?"

Gu Min had no choice but to pinch Shen Ying's cheek lovingly, "Okay, then I'll let the servants make dumplings now, and we'll have New Year's Eve dinner together when the dumplings are out of the pan."

Shen Ying nodded, "Okay, that's right, don't forget to ask them to wrap a copper coin in it as a good omen."

Gu Min got up, got dressed, went out and ordered his servants to make dumplings, and there was still a while after the dumplings came out of the pot, the two of them didn't continue to grind on the bed, they put on their clothes and sat on the Arhat bed, drinking and chatting.

When Shen Ying talked enthusiastically about finding out that King An and Shuoyu had an affair tonight, she found that Gu Min didn't seem surprised at all after hearing it, so she asked strangely: "Why are you so calm, don't you think Is this incredible?"

Gu Min actually knew about it a long time ago, but he was afraid that Shen Ying would blame him for not telling him in advance, so he put down his wine glass, coughed, and put on a shocked expression, "Really? It's so surprising, I really didn't expect it! "

Shen Ying was expressionless: "...can you be more perfunctory?"

Gu Min concealed a smile: "You know me, I've never paid much attention to other people's affairs."

Shen Ying thought about it, so she didn't become suspicious, and propped her chin and yawned lazily, "Shuoyu is a self-motivated person, I plan to cultivate him well, and let him manage the East Factory in the future, what do you think?"

Gu Min nodded in agreement and said, "Eunuch Shuoyu is indeed loyal to the emperor, as long as the emperor makes a decision, I believe the emperor sees people well."

With Gu Min's approval, Shen Ying felt relieved. He shook the wine glass in his hand and said triumphantly, "When the Dongchang stands up, those sour eyes won't just focus on you alone. We It’s also good to let go of your hands and feet to do things.”

The actions of the servants in Gu Min's mansion were swift, but after chatting for a while, the dumplings were cooked and brought over. Dozens of mutton dumplings with thin skin and big stuffing were placed on the plate, white and fat, very festive.

Shen Ying was thinking about the copper coins in the dumplings, but he inspected each dumpling, but he still couldn't find out which dumpling the copper coins were hidden in.

When it was time, Shen Ying was also a little hungry, so she picked up the chopsticks and said, "Forget it, eat it, whoever eats it will get it."

It was really crazy, the two of them ate until there were only two dumplings left on the plate, and they hadn't eaten any copper coins yet, so they wondered if the servants forgot to put the copper coins.

Shen Ying burped, feeling that she had never eaten so much in her life, but victory was in sight, and there was no reason to give up, so she pointed at the dumplings on the plate with her chopsticks, and said to Gu Min: "Come on, one person One, after making these dumplings, if there are still no copper coins after eating these two, I will deduct the salary of the cook in your house!"

Shen Ying first picked a dumpling, picked it up, put it in her mouth, took a bite, well, nothing happened, so her last hope was on the dumpling that Gu Min ate.

Shen Ying watched Gu Min put the dumpling into his mouth without blinking, and asked impatiently, "How is it? How is it? Are there any? Are there any?"

Gu Min showed no expression at first, then slowly frowned, then lowered his head and opened his mouth to spit out a copper coin. Seeing this, Shen Ying slapped the table, laughed and said, "Good guy, he hid it deep enough, what a surprise! It doesn’t come out until the last one is eaten! But it’s also destined by the heavens, which means that you will have good luck in the new year and your wishes will come true!”

Gu Min drank his saliva and rinsed his mouth. Seeing Shen Ying so happy, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Then I will borrow the emperor's good words."

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard the bustle outside, the sound of firecrackers coming from every house, obviously it was the New Year.

Of course, the Hou Mansion also prepared firecrackers and fireworks. Shen Ying and Gu Min put on their clothes and walked out of the room hand in hand to watch the excitement.

The two leaned against each other in the cold wind, looked up at the sky, and the warmth flowed between them. They didn't need too many words to connect with each other. Even eternity can't be exchanged for the warmth and beauty of this moment.

Gu Min lowered his head calmly, and looked at Shen Ying affectionately with his eyes. The light and shadow on the young and handsome face of the emperor changed from light to light, but the light in his eyes never went out, like the brightest light in this cold night. A star illuminates the darkness for him and guides him to the light.

His family was killed when he was young, his father and mother were lost, he was exiled to southern Xinjiang, and he changed his name and surname for more than ten years. Although Gu Min never felt sorry for himself because of his fate, there were not many days in his life when he was truly happy. Until this moment, he felt that he was actually very lucky, lucky to have met the love of his life, and even luckier, the love also loved him.

Gu Min moved Shen Ying's hand, bowed his head reverently and kissed Shen Ying's fingertips lightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for accompanying me through the happiest year of my life."

"Is this the happiest thing?" Shen Ying pushed his shoulder disapprovingly, and said with a bright smile, "And next year, the year after, and every year after that, we will live together!"

Gu Min smiled, turned around and hugged Shen Ying tightly, and said solemnly, "Okay, let's live together."



The days without going to court passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, when Princess Changping got married.

Lin Zhenyue, the Marquis of Gu'an, is in the limelight because of his achievements in suppressing the rebellion last year, and his daughter-in-law is also a princess. What a sight this is. Almost all the rich and powerful families in the capital went to the Marquis of Gu'an's mansion to congratulate him drink wedding wine.

Marrying the emperor's sister is also a major event. The eldest princess of Changping secretly helped Shen Ying a lot, so she got married, and of course Shen Ying gave her enough dignity. Originally, the eldest princess wanted the queen, prince and other royal family members to personally marry her. But Shen Ying has no prince or other brothers after she was established. In order not to make the wedding team look too deserted, Shen Ying appointed King An, Gu Min and several other princes to give the princess Changping a wedding together. .

The Lin family prepared a grand banquet for Princess Changping's wedding party. King An, Gu Min and his party watched Lin Che and Princess Changping's worship ceremony, and did not leave the Lin residence until the wedding banquet was over.

On the day when the younger sister was happy, Shen Ying, as the emperor's brother, could not go to the Lin Mansion with Gu Min and King An to watch the fun, and could only stay in the palace alone and read the memorabilia. Sometimes when I think about it, being an emperor is quite boring .

In the evening, Shen Ying thought that the wedding banquet in the Lin Mansion was over, and the people sent to marry her should have gone back. Unexpectedly, he was having dinner, and suddenly Jin Yiwei came to report, saying that the team to send Princess Changping to get married was returning. I met an assassin on the road, and the target of the assassin was Linyanghou!

Those assassins were all highly skilled in martial arts, and the guards in the escorting team were no match for the assassins at all.

The assassin's goal is clear, it is to take Gu Min's life, and Gu Min is going to see off his relatives, and he does not carry a weapon with him. Several assassins besiege one of Gu Min. Gu Min has no weapons and can only avoid the battle. One assassin almost threw a knife It was on Gu Min's neck. Fortunately, Gu Min was superior in martial arts, and he took the knife from the assassin's hand, so he could barely resist the assassin's attack. Fortunately, Jin Yiwei and Wucheng Bingmasi's men rushed to kill and retreated. Assassin, Gu Min just escaped a catastrophe.

Listening to Jin Yiwei's report, Shen Ying seemed to have witnessed the thrilling scene of Gu Min being besieged by the assassins. He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his heart beat wildly. When he heard that the assassin was about to put a knife on Gu Min's neck, Shen Ying Ying stood up even more nervously, even though she heard that Gu Min was not injured in the end, she was still terrified.

Shen Ying was about to ask someone to announce Gu Min to enter the palace to inquire about the situation, but unexpectedly, a young eunuch came first to send a message to the Marquis of Linyang to ask for an interview, so Shen Ying hurriedly asked the little eunuch to send Gu Min to come in.

When Gu Min entered Yongle Palace, Shen Ying stepped back and pulled Gu Min to the East Nuan Pavilion, stared at him up and down, left, right, back and forth carefully, and asked like a cannonball: "How are you? Are you injured? Did the assassin catch it? Who sent it? Why did they kill you?"

"Your Majesty, I'm fine." Gu Min pressed Shen Ying's shoulders and told him to sit down, and said nonchalantly, "I was afraid that the Emperor would be worried, that's why I entered the palace to let the Emperor see that I'm safe with my own eyes."

"How do you make me feel at ease? This is not the first time this has happened!" Shen Ying patted the table several times, her brows were full of anger, and she gritted her teeth, "Who dares to assassinate princes and ministers in the capital? What did you do last time?" When I was assassinated, I ordered the soldiers and horses of the five cities to carefully inspect the situation in Beijing. Fortunately, this time, they even dared to assassinate the team that sent the eldest princess to see her off. What do the people of Chengbing Masi do? A bunch of trash!"

Gu Min gently persuaded: "The emperor calm down, there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, and there is no one who can defend against thieves for a thousand days. Assassins want to harm the ministers, even if the soldiers and horses of the five cities guard against them day and night, they can't prevent them. Fortunately, the ministers have The emperor blesses you with great blessings and fate, and it is not so easy for those people to harm your ministers."

Gu Min said lightly, but Shen Ying's heart was beating very fast. How could things be as easy as Gu Min said? When she thought that the assassin was about to injure Gu Min, Shen Ying felt a chill down her spine and had difficulty breathing. He didn't dare to think about what would happen if something happened to Gu Min.

Shen Ying's face turned pale, she looked at Gu Min worriedly and asked, "Who is trying to harm you?"

A gleam of coldness flashed in Gu Min's eyes, "I caught a victim, and Jin Yiwei is currently interrogating, I believe the result will come soon."

"In fact, there is no need to interrogate. The answer is still unclear? The people who want you dead are nothing more than those people, but you have already been suspended, so there is nothing wrong with them. Why are those people still refusing to let you go?" Shen Ying closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Excuse me, I'm suddenly a little scared."

I'm afraid I can't protect you, and I'm afraid that something like today will happen again.

It's easy to hide with open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. As long as the person who hides in the dark and shoots cold arrows doesn't surface for a day, Gu Min will continue to face danger if he stays by his side.

In the past, Shen Ying fought against Guo Jiuchen wisely, planned to get rid of Du Qianren, strategized, feigned death to seize power, and took risks every step of the way, but he was fearless because he had no weakness.

But today is different from the past, he now has.
