After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

It was late at night, Han Mochu had finished talking about today's allusions, and turned off the lamps. It was already very quiet, and it was time to fall asleep.

Not long after Han Mochu closed his eyes, he heard Gu Xiu's bed overturned and sleepless. In the past, Gu Xiu had already slept peacefully at this time.There must be a reason for this today, so he asked aloud: "Your Highness can't sleep?"

"Can't sleep." In the darkness, Gu Xiu replied softly.

Han Mochu turned over and sat up, searched for a flint in the dark and lit the lamp on the table again: "What is your Highness doing?"

"I'm thinking about the black bear today." Gu Xiu also sat up, staring at Han Mochu's relit oil lamp.

"Your Highness thinks there is something wrong with the black bear?" Han Mochu put his robe on his shoulders, held up the oil lamp and walked in front of Gu Xiu, and sat on the couch beside the couch.

"Yeah." Gu Xiu nodded, then shook his head again: "I just don't know why Rakshasa sacrificed a live bear."

"The Raksha country has many mountains, dense forests, and many bears come and go, so Raksha also has a tradition of taming bears for fun." Han Mochu replied in a warm voice: "However, every time a foreign country presents such a giant beast as a sacrifice It's meant to be deterrent and provocative. After all, the two countries border each other, and there have been constant frictions over the years, King Rakshasa probably wants to use this to scare my nobles in the court."

"But." Gu Xiu frowned thoughtfully: "The elder sister said that the black bear will perform at the Longevity Festival, and other foreigners will be present. If there is an accident, isn't it an act of war?"

With Gu Xiu's inadvertent words, Han Mochu instantly realized something, which made people feel uneasy.

At the moment, Han Mochu didn't get angry, but patted Gu Xiu on the shoulder and said softly: "Your Highness, don't think too much. If there is an accident that day, I will protect Your Highness."

August [-]th is the Longevity Day of King Gu Hong.

The day before yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, because the next day was the king's longevity, so since the Yongxi Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet was canceled in the palace.

Instead, the palace will share moon cakes, chrysanthemums, and crabs.

Although Gu Xiu had no foundation in the palace, but for the sake of Princess Qingzhao, the Inner House Secretary did not dare to deduct Gu Xiu's expenses, and these rewards were always just too much.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the night wind is blowing.

It was a good time to hold Ao to appreciate the moon, but the courtyard of Guiyun Palace was empty, and there were no stone tables and benches for drinking.

Han Mochu pulled Gu Xiu to lean on the stone steps in front of the main room, a small plate of moon cakes and a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine were placed between the two of them.

When he was in Baiming Mountain in the past, every Mid-Autumn Festival, Han Mochu would also drink with Su Che facing the moon like now, sometimes getting very drunk.

The next morning, the two of them slept in a mess in the yard, with the beards that Mr. Yi Wei drew on their faces while the two of them were sleeping soundly.

Now that he has been in Beijing for many days, he doesn't know if everything is safe on Baiming Mountain.

During the festive season, I miss my relatives a lot, and the ancients never deceive me.

Han Mochu couldn't help toasting to Yue, and turned his head to Gu Xiu who was just looking up at the moon: "Your Highness, what are you thinking?"

Gu Xiu turned his head and looked at the person, and replied calmly, "I'm thinking about Beihuang."

Han Mo's hand holding the cup was startled for a moment, and then he suddenly smiled: "Is the moon in the Northern Wilderness like this?"

Gu Xiu shook his head: "There are stars on the sky in the northern wilderness."

Han Mochu narrowed his eyes and looked at the full moon in the sky.

Although it is bright and clean, it hangs alone above the sky.

This situation is very much like a king within the palace walls.The imperial power is supreme, alone.

"Your Highness, would you like to have a drink with me?" Han Mochu pushed another empty wine cup to Gu Xiu's hand.

Gu Xiu looked down at the wine cup, shook his head and said, "I don't know how to drink."

"Your Highness is at this age, it's okay to drink less." Han Mochu filled the two wine cups with a smile, picked up one of them and said to Gu Xiu: "An old saying goes, wine can send love. I only hope that the minister and the person whom Your Highness misses , all are safe."

Gu Xiu also picked up the wine cup and lightly bumped into Han Mochu's wine cup, making a pleasant crisp sound.Then both of them raised their heads and drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

The aroma of Qing Lie's wine entered his throat, and the smile on Han Mochu's face deepened. Looking at the full moon in the sky, he was filled with emotion for a moment.Turning around, he picked up the jug and wanted to drink another glass with Gu Xiu.

Turning around, I saw that Gu Xiu had fallen over without warning, and the wine cup in his hand had also rolled to the side.

Han Mochu stretched out his hand to support Gu Xiu's shoulder, but saw that Gu Xiu's cheeks were flushed red from the wine, and he could vaguely hear Gu Xiu's slight snoring when he listened carefully.

Han Mochu was somewhat dumbfounded, and said to himself: "It seems that the sweet-scented osmanthus wine is a bit strong for children."

After all, Han Mo picked up the young man from the ground horizontally. After a few months of effort, Gu Xiu seemed to be much heavier than before, and he was heavy on his arms, not as thin as when he was hugged for the first time.

The afterglow of the moon shadow elongated the two of them.

Han Mochu accidentally raised his eyes, and then glanced at the moon above his head.

Beside the lone moon hanging high, a star lit up at some point.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Xiu still woke up at the same morning as usual, but for some reason, his head was heavy and swollen, and he couldn't open his eyes even after trying several times.

I wanted to sleep right away, but suddenly remembered that today is the emperor's birthday, Gu Xiushen, as the prince, had to enter the Chongning Palace early in the morning to celebrate his birthday.

A powerful force broke through Gu Xiu's eyelids in an instant, and his whole body bounced violently.

As Gu Xiu sat up, a burst of dizziness followed, his temples throbbed with pain, and his throat felt like it was burning.

Gu Xiu, who was drinking for the first time, didn't know what was wrong with him, so he could only sit on the bedside to relieve his discomfort.

"Your Highness, let's drink a cup of honey soup." Han Mochu put a cup of warmed honey in Gu Xiu's hand, "It's still early, Your Highness won't miss the imperial greeting."

Gu Xiu took the cup and drank it all in one gulp. The warm honey soup relieved the anxiety in his throat, and his mind also cleared up.

Gu Xiu, with a clear mind, gradually recalled yesterday, he was enjoying the moon with Han Mochu in the yard, why is he sleeping in the house now?Can't help but ask: "What happened to me yesterday?"

"Your Highness is drunk." Han Mochu said as he lowered his head and put on his boots with Gu Xiu: "Tonight's banquet, Your Highness will not drink."

Baode in Guiyun Palace is a naive half-fool who only knows how to sweep and run errands every day, and Gu Xiu insists on not wanting another person to serve him, so Han Mochu does everything about Gu Xiu's closeness.

When Gu Xiu's feet landed on the ground, Han Mochu put on the prepared scarlet auspicious cloud python robe and Gu Xiu.

Today is the day when all nations come to court, Gu Xiu, as the prince, is for the face of the royal family.

Even if you don't talk about wearing clothes in Suchang, you should wear brocade clothes today to show the prestige of the country.

After changing clothes and washing up, Baode knocked on the door door lightly: "Your Highness Seventh, the sedan chair of Her Royal Highness Princess is in front of the door."

Gu Xiu responded, and said goodbye to Han Mochu, then turned and left the door.

After Gu Xiu left, Han Mochu also changed his clothes and washed himself.After changing into his fourth-rank official uniform, he went to Hanyuan Hall and waited for the night banquet.

All the officials waited in front of the Hanyuan Hall before receiving the banquet, and Jiang Li, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, was also among them.

It has been several months since we left in Jingzhao Mansion. Jiang Li rushed forward to greet Han Mochu when he saw Han Mochu: "My dear brother, are you still used to being in the palace these days? Is your career going smoothly?"

"Brother Laoshi remembers, everything is fine."

"I heard that these days, my virtuous brother has raised His Highness the Seventh Prince very well, and even Your Majesty praised him?"

"Your Highness was originally talented, and I just need to teach you a little bit."

Han Mochu and Jiang Li chatted word by word.

Until night falls, the lights come on.

With Cui Shang, the head of the inner palace, the announcement, the palace banquet officially began.

Following the footsteps of the officials, Han Mochu entered the magnificent Hanyuan Hall.Hanyuan Hall is the main hall used by the Great Dynasty. It is so deep that it can accommodate hundreds of people to have a banquet at the same time.In the hall, 120 eight glazed palace lanterns are very gorgeous, illuminating the room as if it were daytime.On the high platform of the nineteenth-level royal steps, the king Gu Hong was dressed in a big fur crown and a crown of heaven, sitting on the golden Kowloon chair with his chest full.The favored minister, Nan Xi, was dressed in extravagant peacock plumes, and sat side by side with the king as if in a royal palace.Gu Hong's love for Mr. Nanxi has reached the point where he has no taboo.

There are four high tables on the left and right sides of the dragon chair, on which Han Ming, the minister of Zhongqin, Ding Yu, the general of Zhenguo, and two princes, Yu Cheng and Kang Sheng, are sitting respectively.

Han Mochu's eyes lingered on that Lord Zaifu for a moment, then silently moved his eyes away.In the past 16 years, Han Mochu finally saw and remembered the father who lived in the mouth of his biological mother.

After all, the mother was originally just a peasant girl who delivered food to the servant's mansion.Because of her beautiful appearance, Han Ming, who was still the Minister of the Ministry of War at that time, carried her into the house with a dowry gift of ten taels of silver, but fortunately, she was forgotten after a few times.

This Lord Zaifu, who only wanted to seek a high position, didn't know at first when the peasant girl he married back gave birth to a child for him.After knowing it, he just ordered someone to carve a piece of Han family's family pendant with a piece of miscellaneous jade, and bestowed it on the desolate mother and son of Han Mochu like a blessing from heaven, which can be regarded as a status.

When Han Mochu was in Han Mansion, he didn't even have a name.The word Mo Chu was taken by Mr. Yi later.

At that time, his mother called him Xiaoliu, and the rest called him Wild Species.

Today, Han Mochu, a bastard, is actually the first courtier in his mansion to have a banquet with him.The rest of his noble-born sons were likewise penniless.

On the platform in the middle of the imperial steps, there are also four high tables, on which four first-rank concubines of Guili Shuxian sit.Under the imperial steps, on the left seat, the second prince Gu Zhi, the third prince Gu Shen, the eldest princess Gu Jin, the fourth prince Gu Yan, the sixth prince Gu You, and Gu Xiu, the youngest, sat at the bottom .Immediately after, the officials, clan relatives, wives, and envoys all took their seats in turn.

Han Mochu's seat was not too close to Gu Xiu's, and he could only vaguely see Gu Xiu's profile.

Gu Xiu did not change the past, he was still the most upright one among the princes.

Directly opposite to Han Mochu's seat were the two Rakshasa envoys whom he had seen that day.The two were playing with a multicolored glazed lamp and whispering.

After everyone was seated, Gu Hongchao nodded to Cui Shang, the old eunuch.Cui Shang understood, stood on the high platform, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, let's have a banquet and play music!"

When everyone in the palace heard the words, they all saluted, and replied in unison: "Thank you for your majesty's long grace, and wish you a long live forever."

Immediately after the sound of soft music, the dancer entered the room and danced in the middle of the palace banquet.The banquet eunuchs who were waiting outside the palace gate filed in with food boxes and poured food and wine for the nobles attending the banquet.The dishes on the palace banquet are exquisite and luxurious, and the utensils used are all in the number of gold, all of which show the prestige of the country.

Not long after Han Mochu became an official, he has been living with Gu Xiu in Guiyun Palace, and there are colleagues on the left and right at the banquet, and Han Mochu also had to exchange pleasantries with him.

Han Mochu's colleagues who are also young teachers are all Jinshi backgrounds

The young teacher who the Second Prince taught when he was a child had passed away three years ago, and now the new one named Zhang Mingqi was born as a Jinshi in the ninth year of Yongxi, and he is very talkative.After seeing Han Mochu, he toasted three glasses of wine with great enthusiasm, and then talked about how to arrange for his family members when he will leave the palace with the second prince in the new year.

The young teacher of the third prince Gu Shen was named Cui Chong, who was the fifth-rank inspector of the previous dynasty at that time, and was one of the few princes' junior tutors who served in the previous dynasty since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.In the ninth year of Yongxi, the third prince Gu Shen was playing with the fifth prince Gu You by the Imperial Lake, and accidentally fell into the water. The fifth prince Gu You drowned and died, and he was also permanently disabled.I was sick for half a month in January.Not only does he often cough and breathe, but he has to use a wheeled vehicle instead of walking when traveling. He cannot practice martial arts, nor can he ride or shoot.Coupled with his own mediocre aptitude, the king and concubine Shu felt that there was no hope, so the king pointed to Cui Chong, a small official who was related to concubine Shu's mother's family, as a young teacher.After processing the official documents of my post, I will teach Gu Shen and talk about the doctrine of the mean.

The fourth prince, Gu Yan, had three junior prince teachers, one who studied literature, one who practiced martial arts, and one who specialized in writing official documents.They are all close relatives of the loyal and diligent Zaifu Han Ming.These three people have always been indifferent to the rest of their colleagues, each in their own small circle.

The young teacher of the sixth prince Gu You is an old scholar with white beard and hair, his surname is Bai and his name is Sui, too!It was once the editor of the Hanlin Academy during the Zu Dynasty.Talking slowly, I always feel that I will fall asleep in a moment.The sixth prince is stubborn and domineering by nature, and extremely pampered, only the good-natured Mr. Bai can bear it.

During the banquet, Han Mochu looked at Gu Xiu's position from time to time.Because he told the child not to drink alcohol when he got up in the morning, the child has not touched the cup or even the chopsticks since the beginning of the banquet.

The rest of the princes were all right and left, and even the third prince Gu Shen, who was rumored to be frail and sickly, toasted frequently with a smile on his face.

Gu Xiu alone is like a snowflake falling into warm water, melting into it and disappearing.
