Xiao Chen's tenderness and consideration made Lu Chen spend a happy night. When he woke up the next day, Lu Chen's mood was no longer the heavy one from last night.
He happily put on the dragon robe under Xiao Chen's service, as if a sunflower had grown on his head, stretching its branches and leaves swaying from side to side.
"Ah Xiao, I will try to deal with government affairs as soon as possible, and I will have dinner with you when I come back at noon."
Xiao Chen's green eyes were bent, and his demeanor was calm and gentle. He stretched out his hand to straighten Lu Chen's neckline, and nodded.
"Huh." Lu Chen suddenly made a discovery, "A Xiao, have you grown taller?"
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then stood up straight, a little at a loss, he looked a little dazed.
My cubs have grown taller, which means that I have raised people well!
Lu Chen took Xiao Chen's hand, pulled him to the wall, and raised his tone cheerfully: "Come here."
Comparing with Xiao Chen's height, Lu Chen used a hairpin to draw an inconspicuous notch on the wall, then he stood by the wall by himself and asked Xiao Chen to draw it for him too.
The height of the two notches is almost the same, that is, a gap of about two centimeters.
"A Xiao grows up really fast."
Lu Chen said with emotion, remembering that when the two first met, A Xiao had to raise his head slightly when they looked at each other, but now they were about to catch up with him.
Sure enough, teenagers in the growing period are all grown up against the wind, and they should not be underestimated. Lu Chen couldn't help but recall Xiao Chen's body that was getting stronger and stronger, and his ears turned faintly red.
Xiao Chen looked at the two notches on the wall, his eyes darkened, he turned his head and glanced in Lu Chen's direction, and happened to see the reddish ear tips, and the knuckles of the fingers moving slightly.
After a while, Xiao Chen wrote on the rice paper: "Your Majesty, do you think it's inappropriate for me to be too tall?"
"Inappropriate? Why is it inappropriate?" Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then ahh, he understood what he meant.
He is now the emperor over [-] people, and it would seem a little embarrassing to say that the concubine is taller than him, but after thinking about it carefully, none of the men in the original harem were taller than him.
However, Lu Chen is not a small-bodied person, and he doesn't particularly care about height. On the contrary, height is such a thing, tall and low can try their own tastes, ahem.
"You don't have to care about these." Lu Chen kissed Xiao Chen's face, "Whether you are taller or lower than me, I can accept it."
Xiao Chen's eyelashes trembled slightly, his green eyes showed a hint of a smile, and his slightly pursed lips were also bent upwards, making it impossible to move one's eyes away.
During the period when the two were intimacy, Eunuch Zhao reminded him twice, and only after the third time did Lu Chen escape from the gentle village and reluctantly went to the morning court.
The real culprit of mission one has passed away, and this mission has been completed, leaving only the second mission.
Lu Chen exhaled, squeezed the thumb of his right hand with his left hand, to cheer himself up.
Come on, success is just around the corner.
After the early court, the commander of the imperial guards waited early in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Your Majesty, I have ordered all the imperial guards to gather at the training ground."
Yesterday, Lu Chen ordered the two commanders of the imperial guards to gather the imperial guards together. The purpose was also very simple, just to frustrate the prestige of Shixun's disciples among the imperial guards, so that his method of training soldiers could be carried forward.
"Well, let's go." Lu Chen had already made plans, had a plan in mind, and acted calmly.
The two commanders of the imperial guards looked at each other, and hurriedly answered, leading the way.
***
In Ganquan Hall, Eunuch Wei made a cup of tea for Xiao Chen.
Master Xiao is very good at serving, sometimes a cup of tea and an ancient book can sit for several hours, saving them a lot of trouble as slaves.
"Master, do you want to pass on the meals?" Eunuch Wei felt that Master Xiao was in a good mood today.
This was the first time Master Xiao smiled after the emperor left.
Xiao Chen shook his head, then remembered something, he waved to Eunuch Wei, ticked the brush a few times on the paper, and handed it to him.
"Red sandalwood?" Eunuch Wei thought for a while, "Although red sandalwood is expensive, there are many in the palace. Master wait for a while, and the servant will go and inform you."
Eunuch Wei is also an exquisite character who is by Eunuch Zhao's side, so there are only a few uses for red sandalwood. Since the master wants it, let's rule it out, that is, he wants to use it for carving.
Therefore, after three sticks of incense, several pieces of red sandalwood were brought up in different sizes, and they were all purple in red, reddish in purple, very suitable for carving.
Xiao Chen glanced at the wood, nodded, and asked everyone to go down and wait, while he pondered on the wood alone in the bedroom.
He has been wandering abroad since he was a child and has no one to rely on. The Dayan Kingdom is based on agriculture. He has no land, so he can only rely on craftsmanship and physical strength to survive. The woodcarving technique is what he learned at that time.
Craftsmanship is handed down from father to son, from son to grandson. He is an outsider, and his master is unwilling to teach anything too deep, so he can only steal it by himself.
His woodcarving skills are not very good, but he can still make a living. If he hadn't been sold to Yazi and fed dumb medicine, he can still make money and live in peace.
Having not used a carving knife for several years, Xiao Chen's first strokes were still a little jerky, but gradually he found the feeling, and it became much smoother.
Because he wanted to hand over the finished product to Lu Chen before noon, Xiao Chen didn't plan to make any big items, but just wanted to make a small gadget that would be enough for Lu Chen to play with.
Making a gadget for Lu Chen was an idea that came to him suddenly early in the morning, and Xiao Chen didn't know why he suddenly wanted to do this.
Rosewood wood is hard and dense, and it is easy to carve many complicated patterns. This alone is incomparable to the wood he used before.
With a knife and a quarter, the time passed much faster than usual, and by the time the gadgets were carved, it was already noon.
Xiao Chen put away the carving knife, knocked the tea lid lightly on the teacup, and Eunuch Wei walked in from outside the bedroom.
"The emperor is coming soon?" Xiao Chen showed Eunuch Wei the words on the paper.
"I heard from my godfather that the emperor is still talking with the two commanders, and it will take about a quarter of an hour." Eunuch Wei said, with a smile in his voice, "Oh, master, you don't know, this morning , the emperor made the group of the imperial guards docile by the sons and daughters."
Hearing the news about Lu Chen, Xiao Chen's curiosity was aroused, and he nodded.
Eunuch Wei was beaming when he told the story, but his tone fluctuated with the development of the matter.
"When the emperor went to the training ground, he divided all the guards into two. One team was headed by Mr. Shixun, and the other was led by commoners. The two commanders of the guards led the troops separately, and the two armies faced each other."
"Among those Shixun sons, there are quite a few martial arts disciples who have practiced archery since they were young, while common people's children even have problems with food and clothing, and their physical fitness is far inferior to the martial arts disciples who ride horses and shoot arrows."
"Everyone thought that the Shixuns must have won, and the fact seems to be the case. The two teams just played against Sanzhuxiang, and the common people's children are in a downturn."
"Who knows, when His Majesty saw this situation, he walked over to Commander Zhang, and somehow he used just a stick of incense to teach the commoner's children to turn the corner, which directly disrupted the formation of the Shihuns. , let them flee everywhere.”
After hearing this, Xiao Chen became more interested, holding the gadget that he was going to give to Lu Chen later, and continued to listen.
"The first round was actually won by the commoner's children. The Shihuns were angered by the commoner's children because they failed in the first round. In the second round, they didn't even listen to the command of the commander. , the result was a disastrous failure."
"The same is true for the third game."
"Three times in a row, the group of Shixun's disciples were beaten so helplessly that they looked like cocks with their feathers plucked."
"By the fourth game, Shixun's disciples were unwilling to lose any more battles. When the two armies confronted each other, they all bowed their heads. This time, the emperor went to Commander Li's side and used a wonderful method to make those Shixun's disciples turned defeat into victory."
"The group of Shixun's disciples all respect the emperor very much now."
After Xiao Chen finished listening, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. He didn't know what method His Majesty used to make the two armies win, but His Majesty's strategy of hitting a stick to give a sweet date was ingenious.
Seeing that Eunuch Wei had nothing to say, Xiao Chen asked him to step back and let the imperial chef prepare lunch, and quietly waited for His Majesty's return.
Xiao Chen actually wanted to see His Majesty's majesty in the training ground with his own eyes, but he obviously missed it.
Thinking of the details of how His Majesty got along with him, he didn't feel any sense of loss. Compared with the godly use of soldiers in the eyes of outsiders, it is obvious that His Majesty is more real when he is by his side.
It's just... Xiao Chen thought of His Majesty's unresponsive lower body every morning, his eyes darkened, and his fingertips rubbed the newly carved gadgets.
His Majesty probably couldn't explain it away, although he felt sorry for His Majesty, but this was good, it saved him a lot of trouble, Xiao Chen didn't want to get into trouble with the Emperor because of the matter of being subordinate, after all, it was not easy to be so close to him.
If Lu Chen knew what he was thinking, he would definitely persuade him to relax, even if he reacted below, he would not compete with him for the upper position.
It's so tiring at the top, how can he be so lazy, how can he not think about it.
Xiao Chen thought about it, his mind gradually sank, and when he came back to his senses again, Lu Chen's voice came from outside the door.
He got up and straightened his clothes, the bronze mirror at the side clearly reflected his facial features, Xiao Chen pursed his lips, and brushed a strand of hair beside his cheek behind his ear.
If Lu Chen had seen this scene, he would probably be able to guess why every time he saw Xiao Chen, he would feel that he was perfect and not like ordinary people.
A second or two later, Lu Chen opened the door briskly. Since he solved the matter of the guards, his mood index has skyrocketed.
Those Shixun's disciples in the imperial guards can't wait to charge and kill the enemy under the leadership of the emperor, sweeping away the exhaustion of those dawdling days in the past.Shaggy.
In this way, his own military plan will be effective in a short time.
"A Xiao, I'm back!" Lu Chen's tone was brisk, and his peach blossom eyes showed real joy.
Xiao Chen's green eyes were like the most beautiful forest gems, he bent his eyes, and before he could move, Lu Chen held his hand.
"Hey, what is this?"
Lu Chen's gaze stayed on Xiao Chen's left hand, which was holding something similar to a dice, and the red rope was woven into the shape of a concentric knot.
Xiao Chen took out the paper with the reason already written on it, and handed it to Lu Chen, "This is the exquisite dice carved by the slave in the morning, I hope your majesty will not dislike it."
"You carved it yourself?" Lu Chen's eyes sparkled. He had never asked about Xiao Chen's life experience. On the one hand, he thought it was a personal privacy, and on the other hand, he was worried about touching Xiao Chen's sad matter.
Suddenly receiving a gift made by her boyfriend, Lu Chen was happy but at a loss.
He took the exquisite dice and looked at them carefully. The wood carvings made of rosewood are always grand and elegant. The purple-red dice are carved with fine patterns, and two graceful flowers are outlined with a few strokes.
The tips of Lu Chen's ears were reddish, and he rubbed against the pattern lightly. He was not familiar with the varieties of flowers, but he knew that as long as a branch bloomed together, it would be called a double flower, and a double flower symbolized love.
The exquisite dice have been a symbol of lovesickness since ancient times.
Ahhh.
Can't do it, can't do it, compared with Xiao Chen, Lu Chen feels that his b-status is too low! !
He lowered his head, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a few inconspicuous fine marks on Xiao Chen's hands, with traces of blood.
"You are hurt?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen lowered his head and took a look. It was just some minor injuries. It was just scratched when he first started carving wood, and the pain has long since disappeared.
Lu Chen immediately took off the jade pendant on the dragon robe, hung up the exquisite dice, and then carefully took his hand and led him to the couch.
"I'll apply the medicine to you first, so don't make a fist."
Before Xiao Chen could react, Lu Chen had already taken the medicine and gently rubbed it on his wound.
Seeing Xiao Chen's eyelashes trembling slightly, he seemed a little at a loss, Lu Chen smiled, and deliberately lowered his voice: "I will also make a Linglong dice some other day, and if I get injured, you will be responsible for giving me medicine .”
He happily put on the dragon robe under Xiao Chen's service, as if a sunflower had grown on his head, stretching its branches and leaves swaying from side to side.
"Ah Xiao, I will try to deal with government affairs as soon as possible, and I will have dinner with you when I come back at noon."
Xiao Chen's green eyes were bent, and his demeanor was calm and gentle. He stretched out his hand to straighten Lu Chen's neckline, and nodded.
