During the three volts of June, the sun is scorching like fire.

It is even worse than the hot summer day in Yongxi's 21st year, when people and animals were killed.

In the early morning court, Gu Xiu, the king who has always been happy and angry, dropped the pen holder on the Longshu table.

"Han Mochu! You are presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to talk about my family affairs in the previous court! Get out and stand here!"

Before a stick of incense, King Gu Xiudang made a decree to confer his heir Gu Yucheng as the Prince of the Eastern Palace on Wanshou Day in the coming year.

The minister of the Ministry of Rites received the decree, and Taifu Han Mochu went out with a wat and played up: "I ask your majesty to register the middle palace."

Who would have thought that such a sentence would make the emperor furious.

Gu Xiu said bluntly that the purpose of setting up a harem for a king is nothing more than for successors.

Now that the position of the crown prince has been determined, if it is said at this time that the queen will accept the concubine, if there are foreign relatives who wrong the country, there will be no guarantee that there will be chaos in the future.

What's more, as an emperor, he only cares about the government of the country, how can he harm the country because of his beauty?

He, Han Mochu, dared to point fingers at the emperor's family affairs relying on his background as an emperor's tutor, he was really presumptuous!

After Han Mochu retreated and left the scene, the angry king Gu Xiu slammed his palm on the dragon case, and shouted with the Manchu civil and military history: "From now on, whoever dares to write a letter to ask me to stand up?" Those who accept concubines should be dismissed and investigated!"

Under the fury of this thunderstorm, the civil and military officials standing under the hall didn't even dare to breathe.

In particular, a few old ministers who originally wanted to take the opportunity to raise a queen for the king were sweating all over their foreheads, and kept thinking about the blessings of their ancestors in their hearts.

Fortunately, there was such a pretentious reckless man like Han Mochu who resisted this trip for them, otherwise they don't know what crime they have committed!The future of the official position is almost lost.

***

An hour later, the morning disperse.

After bathing and changing, Han Mochu changed into a crisp lake silk robe, guarding a jar of ice cubes, sitting cross-legged in front of the long table, flipping through the homework of Gu Yucheng, a small group boy.

Suddenly, he felt a cool breeze blowing in his ears, and the sound of the folding fan was close at hand, and then the corner of his mouth raised his tongue and said, "Hiss, the wind is not cool enough."

Hearing this, Gu Xiu rolled up his sleeves, turned up the folding fan in his hand and obviously increased the strength of his wrist: "What about now?"

Han Mochu didn't answer, but frowned slightly, opened his mouth and slowly pressed his forehead: "Oh, the wind is strong and I have a headache."

"Zi Ran has a headache?" Gu Xiu casually threw the folding fan on the table, and reached out to touch Han Mochu's forehead: "Did you just get heatstroke from being in the sun for too long? I told Mr. Su to come and take a look?"

"Your Majesty!" The smile on Han Mochu's face suddenly disappeared, he grabbed the rhinoceros horn folding fan that Gu Xiu had just thrown on the table, pointed to the edge of the folding fan and asked unceremoniously: "Did your Majesty throw down the fan of the minister?" broken?"

"No? No." Gu Xiu replied hesitantly: "If it's really broken, Ziran and I will find a new one, the same one."

"Where can your majesty go find the same one? When you were in Taizhou, did your majesty hear that the owner of the stall said that the master who could make this fan has passed away?" Han Mochu sighed, and slapped the fan in his hand on the table: "Forget it, my lord." No more."

"Zi Ran, I didn't do it on purpose." Gu Xiu held the folding fan in one hand, and gently tugged on Han Mochu's sleeve with the other: "It really wasn't on purpose."

Without saying a word, Han Mochu lightly pulled his sleeve back from Gu Xiu's hand.

One does not speak, and the other does not speak.

The atmosphere in this palace gradually became dignified until...

"Zi Ran, I don't think this one is bad." Gu Xiu tried to close the folding fan and looked at it several times, not wanting to bump into Han Mochu's smiling face when he raised his head: "Han Ziran, you lie to me!"

"That's because Your Majesty is easy to deceive, very easy to deceive." Han Mochu suddenly leaned towards Gu Xiu, put his hands on Gu Xiu's shoulders with a smile on his lips, just like a little fox who has succeeded in plotting.

"To deceive the emperor, the crime should be severely punished." Gu Xiu turned his back on the master and immediately opened the man's lips stained with a smile, tightened his arms, and blocked the man's way of escape until the face of the opposite person was suppressed. It was only after the color of pink peach that he opened his hands, which made people gasp.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling better now?" This was the first sentence Han Mochu said after he recovered his breath.

Gu Xiu nodded calmly, and his aggressive eyes became gentle: "I thought that after becoming the emperor, Ziran wouldn't have to suffer such grievances again."

"What kind of grievance is this? This is a matter between the minister and His Majesty." Han Mochu naturally found a comfortable position for himself in Gu Xiu's arms: "Your Majesty and Your Majesty can exchange for an hour under the sun." Isn't it worthwhile for the minister to keep his ears clean for a long time?"

"As far as I'm concerned, anything that needs to be exchanged at your price is not worth it." Although Gu Xiu's embrace has already completely wrapped Han Mochu, no matter how long it has passed, no matter how old he is, whenever he is in his heart, When he was depressed, his feelings for Han Mochu would naturally turn into dependence.

"Oh, I was tossed about by His Majesty just now, and I was sweating again." Han Mochu glanced at the folding fan on the table, and then at the king sitting beside him.

Gu Xiu didn't say much, he took up the folding fan and let people blow the wind.

From time to time, Han Mochu was picky about the strength of the wind, and from time to time he asked for tea, water, pens and inks.

It was like the basket of walnuts that Han Mochu casually asked for after receiving the military law at the Mohe border.

Only when he has tormented Gu Xiu enough, this simple-minded little wolf cub will slowly let go of the burden in his heart.

***

Since then, life has been peaceful.

In the final analysis, the matter of the establishment of a king is the family affairs of the king.

Gu Xiu and Han Mochu, the two monarchs and ministers, can stop the mouth of the former court officials, but they can't stop the thoughts of the king's relatives.

Just like Gu Xiu's adoptive mother, Concubine Li Jin.

Prince Ning's Mansion in midsummer is undoubtedly the coolest place in Bianjing City.

In Prince Ning's mansion, Concubine Li Jin's residence is considered to be the best. In order to make Jin's life comfortable, Princess Ning Xu Jingrou built this place behind Jin's main house in the year when Prince Ning's second son Yuqing was born. A small garden of one acre square.

In the garden, shady trees surround a small pavilion covered with gold wire.

The bottom of the gazebo is hollowed out, carbon is added in winter, and ice is put in summer, even though the sun is scorching outside, her place is as refreshing and pleasant as ever.

That day, King Ning Gu You woke up from a nap, drank a cup of refreshing almond tea, and carried the poodle named Snowflake Cheese to the upper room of Princess Jin to pay his respects.

Ever since the emperor issued an order to build a post road, the business in the hands of Concubine Ning Xu Jingrou has also grown bigger and bigger, and she has to be busy almost every day until the evening to come back.Gu You didn't know anything about the other things, the only thing he knew was that the family's treasury was going to be expanded again.

Go to the upper room where Jin's is.

Gu You first smelled a strange fragrance, and then saw court ladies with red lips and white teeth, all dressed in elegant clothes, rehearsing songs and dances in the courtyard.

Jin was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch in the gazebo, her complexion was very good, although she was over fifty years old, there were still few wrinkles on her face that had been pampered all the year round, at first glance it seemed that she was not yet forty.

She was wearing an amber gauze gown with large sleeves, covered with half of a silk blanket, holding the ivory binoculars given to her by King Gu Xiuxiao, carefully observing the figure and gait of the woman in the courtyard.On the small table at hand were a dozen kinds of snacks to cool off the heat, and the maid behind her evenly shook the wind wheel. When she saw Gu You coming, she happily raised her hand to call: "My dear son, It’s too hot after walking all this way, hurry up and come to Concubine Mu to cool off the sweat.”

King Ning Gu You was also polite, walked quickly to the imperial concubine's couch and put down the curly poodle in his arms, sat on the footsteps beside the couch, coquettishly with his birth mother Concubine Li: "Huh, It's not that it's hot, Erchen's clothes are almost soaked."

"Look at the sweat on this side." Concubine Li took out a soft silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her son's forehead lovingly, and said to the maid behind her, "Go and bring a glass of rose dew to His Royal Highness King Ning."

Gu You got up and took the small bowl brought by the court lady and drank it all in one gulp. The heat around him was reduced by half in an instant. Instead, he got up and sat on the round stool by the table and chatted with Mrs. Jin: "Mother Concubine , why are you interested in watching singing and dancing today?"

"This is not a song and dance. This is a girl that my concubine asked your aunt to pick from the south of the Yangtze River. She is planning to find a chance to send your seventh brother to the palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Give it to my seventh brother? Aren't all the maids in this palace under the control of the Inner Palace? Why is the mother and concubine worrying about this again?"

"You, you, what are you thinking about in the whole family? Xiu'er is your own younger brother!" Jin rolled her son's eyes with displeasure on her face: "You have given birth to three sons, where is your younger brother? You are still a widow ? If I don’t worry about this kind of thing, who cares? Everyone only regards him as the emperor, and they don’t know how hard it is to feel sorry for him as the emperor.”

"Mother and concubine, my seventh brother is different from those others. He only wants to be the emperor." Sitting on a round stool, Gu You propped his chin, looked at the messy clothes of the group of women and said bluntly: "You don't want to be an emperor?" Do you know? Just a few days ago, Taifu Han just mentioned in the previous court that he wanted his seventh younger brother to be a concubine and was punished to stand under the sun for an hour. He said that he didn't want Yucheng to be wronged, and he was afraid that he would be wronged again in the future. What kind of dispute is there?"

"That's right, I can't wrong my poor little grandson anyway." Concubine Li picked up a piece of sweet and sour iced grape and tasted it: "Those women who come from aristocratic families, if they have a status Naturally, there will be selfishness, and if you give birth to a boy and a half girl, maybe you will treat Yucheng coldly. So this time, the concubine mother and concubine chose him with a clean background and a gentle personality. You don't need to do anything else, he can coax you seven Brother is happy."

"Ha, you're thinking too much, concubine mother." Gu You also forked a piece of ice grapes, shrugged and said, "The only one in the world who can make my seventh brother happy is Taifu Han."

"Can it be the same?" Concubine Li tapped the back of Gu You's hand with the metal pole of the binoculars: "Teacher Han is your seventh brother's benefactor and an important minister of the previous dynasty, and he is here to assist your seventh brother in doing great things." .These women are reserved for your seventh brother to relieve boredom."

"Bored? The seventh brother is so busy that he only sleeps for two or three hours every day. How can there be any leisure to relieve boredom?" Gu You yawned lazily and said, "Even if the mother and concubine are sent in, I guess they can only idle in the palace." inside."

"That can't make your brother ignorant of what a woman is for the rest of his life, right? He is an emperor, not a monk, how can he be so pure and ascetic?" Concubine Li said with love in her eyes, clutching the small handkerchief in her hand: "What if you suffocate your body?"

"If you want me to say, the seventh brother might as well find a woman to marry seriously. The mother concubine is also the stepmother of the seventh brother, but since childhood, there has always been a seventh brother who has me, and the mother and concubine loves the seventh brother and me. It's the same. And what's the good thing, isn't it about the seventh brother?"

"Who said I belonged to my stepmother? Who said that?" Before Gu You finished speaking, Jin interrupted him and corrected him repeatedly: "I am your seventh brother's mother! She is my mother! You are also the brother of your seventh brother! My brother!"

"Yes, yes, the son knows his mistake. The mother and concubine are my mother, my mother."

"Since I know I'm wrong, I'll help my concubine choose which of these women is better?" Concubine Li handed the binoculars in her hand to her son Gu You.

Gu You put the binoculars in front of his eyes, frowned and looked around: "To be honest, my son thinks that these women all look the same."

What Gu You said was true, since he saw Xu Jingrou in Jinxiu Palace that year.

Except for his mother concubine and eldest sister who were related to him by blood, he could only recognize Xu Jingrou's face among the women in this world.

No matter how you look at the woman next to her, she always has a pair of eyebrows and eyes.

It's not good-looking, it's not good-looking, and it's not interesting to watch.
