I dare not

Ever since the emperor issued an edict to confirm the time for the crown prince's enthronement, King Yu no longer covered his eyes with white gauze.

His eyes are beautiful, they are a pair of Ruifeng eyes similar to the third child.The tails of his eyes are slightly upturned when he is not smiling, coupled with his perennially lazy and indifferent face, even if he looks at you blankly, it will make people feel a bit majestic.

The people in the mansion couldn't figure out whether he could see or not. After so many years, everyone got used to it. At this moment, they could suddenly see a pair of eyes on King Yu's face. The servants who were usually unruly began to be cautious. .

He Fangzhi went to prison, the second prince stayed behind closed doors in the palace, and the emperor became a fool again, it seemed that there was no need to pretend to be blind again.

It's just that Yu Wang is too lazy to see, as long as he can't see many things, he can pretend not to know, he can not say what he doesn't want to say, and he doesn't have to do what he doesn't want to do.

He is still being pushed up to the small building facing the lake every day, and sometimes he will sit by the lake.

The early morning wind in midsummer blows across the water with the fragrance of flowers from the opposite bank. This is King Yu's favorite season every year.He is especially afraid of the cold, and only in this season is the best time to live.

After the sun rose, the light reflected from the water made his eyes hard to open.

The servant who followed him was sent by him just now to get the cup, and he hadn't returned yet.He didn't want to wait, so he simply turned the wheelchair and went to the small building.

The heavy solid wooden wheels made a crisp sound as they rolled against the stone slabs. The sun made his pale skin a little hot, and he quickened his movements to get to the house early.

With a click, the left wheel caught in a broken slab.He rolled forward vigorously, and the wheelchair moved up a little, then fell down again, crushing the gap between the broken stone slabs and making it even bigger.

He usually doesn't like people approaching, and the servants don't dare to come over casually when they see King Yu sitting by the lake. At this time, no one in the mansion knows that his lord is trapped by a broken stone slab.

Yu Wang was so irritable that he wanted to curse, he was sweating all over his body, and he couldn't move an inch, but he seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, a pair of hands behind him grasped the handle of the wheelchair, gently lifted the wheelchair up, and rescued the poor wheel from the gap.

King Yu was startled, he had pretended to be blind for many years, and his hearing was very keen, but at this moment he didn't even notice the person coming from behind.If it was an assassin who came, I am afraid that he is dead now.

He didn't look back, but the person behind him pushed him forward.

"who is it?"

The person behind did not answer, and after walking for a while, the man said with a teasing voice, "I haven't made any progress after all these years, and I'm still awkward and stubborn. I deserve it because I can't get a wife."

King Yu was taken aback, his tense muscles relaxed, and he sat up straight and leaned back on the wheelchair, "It's not as good as the little general Shangguan, who went to northern Xinjiang and made the girls in the capital tear up."

Shangguan Boya didn't ask him where he was going, but pushed him towards the small building. King Yu also felt at ease to let this fourth-rank General Zhaowu, who had just made great achievements in northern Xinjiang, serve him.

The servant who took the cup trotted up with the gold-encrusted agate cup in both hands. Seeing Shangguan Boya, he was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed: "General Shangguan."

Shangguan Boya took the cup from his hand and handed it to King Yu, "I'm still using it. I left in a hurry this time and didn't have time to bring you a present. I'll get you a better one next time."

King Yu played with the cup in his hand, the corner of his mouth curled up, "This is very useful, when did you come back?"

"I only arrived last night. I rushed back immediately after receiving the news. I was afraid that I would miss the enthronement ceremony of the third child. Fortunately, I made it in time."

When Shangguan Boya and Xiang Zenan were in northern Xinjiang, they were both cousins ​​and close comrades in arms, and their relationship was extraordinary.When the youngest son became the crown prince, he was leading the army deep into the hinterland of the Northern Barbarians, so he couldn't return to Beijing to congratulate him. He couldn't miss the enthronement ceremony no matter what.

"Then when are you leaving?"

"Yo, I just arrived and you expect me to leave?" Shangguan Boya pushed the wheelchair carefully to avoid the uneven road, but said: "If you don't want to see me so much, you already know I won't come."

A smile appeared on Yu Wang's perennially frozen face, "Then you go now, anyway, the guards in my house can't stop you."

"That can't be done. When I was in Beijiang, what I missed the most was the cook in Prince Yu's mansion. Today, I want to ask the prince to give me a favor and let my little brother satisfy his greed."

King Yu snorted, "The cook in my house doesn't entertain people who jump over the wall."

Shangguan Boya pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Didn't my younger brother want to surprise my cousin?"

While talking, he arrived at the small building, Shangguan Boya familiarly pushed him from the hidden slope in the building to the second floor, and then lay down on the low bed by the window without restraint.

"Hey, it's still comfortable here." He kicked off his boots, put his hands behind his head, and lay on his back. "My own home is not as comfortable as yours."

"If the little general likes this dwarf, I can give it to you."

"Tsk," Shangguan Boya squinted at him, "Is this something short?"

After finishing speaking, he stared into his eyes for a while, "You still look good without a white gauze, and you don't have to pretend after tomorrow."

King Yu said, "He Fangzhi died in prison yesterday."

"Well, I heard that."

"He Mengqing and Xiang Zezhang are still alive. The emperor wants the third child to keep their mother and child safe. He is guarding against me!"

Shangguan Boya turned his head to look at him, the sparkling light of the lake was imprinted on his face, and his eyes were stained with tear-like crystals.

"Want me to help you out?"

"What?" King Yu was a little shocked, he thought he heard it wrong, "What did you say?"

Shangguan Boya sat up and looked at him seriously, "I have killed many people, I don't mind two more."

King Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Forget it, the third child has just ascended the throne, so don't cause trouble for him."

Shangguan Boya curled his lips, and lay down again, "You really put Xiang Zenan first in everything."

King Yu stopped talking, Shangguan Boya lay down for a while and then thought of something, "The third child will become queen after he ascends the throne, right? Is it a girl from the Lin family? Why don't I see that the Lin family is not very lively?"

Speaking of this, King Yu laughed loudly, "You can wait until this good show is over before leaving."

"What do you mean?"

"Zuo Shiyi Gu Qiao, do you know him?"

Shangguan Boya thought for a while, "I've heard that, it seems that he was the champion two years ago, what's wrong with him?"

King Yu pretended to be mysterious, "You will find out after a while."

Shangguan Boya asked again, but he refused to say anything.

Gu Qiao didn't return to Prince Yu's mansion for many days, the prince detained him in the palace and asked him to arrange the ceremony with the Ministry of Rites.

Although it has been streamlined again and again, this is the new emperor's ascension to the throne after all, and there are still some necessary links.In addition, there is also a surrender ceremony, which has never happened in the history of Hao Kingdom, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are also in a state of desperation.

Gu Qiao discussed the ceremony with several senior officials in the political affairs hall every day, but Xiang Zenan was happy and relaxed, and he just listened to Gu Shiyi and pushed the trouble to Gu Qiao.

All the officials in the court knew that Gu Qiao was the most popular person in front of the prince, and it was almost certain that he would enter the political affairs hall in the future. He might be the most favored minister in front of the new emperor.So he asked Gu Qiao for instructions and reports on major and minor matters, which made Gu Qiao busy every day.

After checking the process for the last time, it was already late at night.

Gu Qiao was so sleepy and dizzy, she washed up casually before going to the duty room to sleep.

Xiao Anzi ran in with small but hasty steps, "Gu Shiyi, Gu Shiyi, the Crown Prince is here!"

Gu Qiao didn't have the strength to speak anymore, she collapsed on the floor, waved her hands and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm going to sleep when God comes."

Little Anzi turned pale with fright at his rude attitude, and turned to look at the prince tremblingly, for fear that the new emperor who would ascend the throne in a few hours would be angry.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince strode to the front of the collapse, reaching out to hug Gu Qiao horizontally.

Gu Qiao struggled: "What are you doing, let go, I want to sleep!"

The prince kissed his forehead, "Okay, go back to Chengxuan Palace and sleep."

Xiao Anzi was so shocked by this scene that he even forgot how to walk, he was stunned for a while before he remembered, and hurriedly trotted to follow.

There was already a carriage waiting outside the Political Affairs Hall, and Gu Qiao didn't have the energy to ask him what he was going to do, so she leaned on him and slept on her own.

After sleeping for a while, when I got off the carriage and was blown by the night wind when I arrived at Chengxuan Hall, I became more awake.After entering the hall, he pulled himself together and asked, "What else does your Highness want?"

Xiang Zenan took his hand and led him into the inner room, "I told you to sleep."

Gu Qiao was helpless, "My lord, the subject was going to sleep just now, why should your lord bother me?"

Xiang Zenan was agitated by my Highness's words, "Sleep better here, you are too tired these days."

Gu Qiao was sleepy and didn't dare to sleep. He lay on the crown prince's bed twice, one of which was... what else... He was a little embarrassed, "Then I'll sleep in the guest room."

Xiang Zenan wrapped him in his arms, "Tomorrow's ceremony, I'm a little nervous, please stay with me."

"Yeah." Gu Qiao put her face on his shoulder, "Then His Highness also rested earlier."

Xiang Zenan kissed his hair and let him go, "Well, let's sleep together."

Although the words "sleeping together" sounded a bit unserious, Xiang Zenan's expression was so serious that Gu Qiao relaxed his vigilance.

After taking off her coat and lying on the bed, Gu Qiao consciously moved in, leaving a spacious place for Xiang Zenan.

The prince put down the bed curtain and lay down, keeping a distance of three inches from him.

Then the distance became two inches, one inch, and then Gu Qiao was hugged into a warm embrace.

The distance between the two of them became closer and closer, from lips to neck to chest to abdomen, gradually there was no distance between them.

The goose-yellow silk bed curtain swayed gently as if blown by the wind.First, it rippled away like a water wave, and then it flicked its tail like a fish in the water, making the water wave shake more and more violently.

After a long time, the wind stopped.

A deep and hoarse voice came from inside the bed curtain, "Does it hurt?"

After a while, another voice was a little impatient, "It doesn't hurt."

The wind blew again that night.
