Linque

Yesterday afternoon, Fang Jingci went to the palace to meet the saint. Chu Heng came to the imperial court from the Mingcheng Palace, and lay down for several days. He felt that he had almost rested, and planned to return to his imperial servant Mo.

The royal salary is quite a lot, he has to earn money to support his family.There is no way, who let Mrs. Chu have no salary for the work she does, and it is very difficult to support her with clothes and food, so Chu Shimo had to wait in front of the emperor to subsidize the family.

Chen Chu came to Wuying Hall to get the badge of the emperor's guard on duty. Chu Heng walked to the door and just nodded to Xiao Zhang who was watching the door. Lu Ji was howling inside.

No one is worried.

Chu Heng was helpless and funny when he heard it, and immediately thought of teasing him.

"Should I plant the land after hunting, or just go back?" Seeing Lu Ji staring blankly at him without speaking, Chu Heng added with a smile.

The hall of martial arts fell silent in unison.

A group of people had lost their ability to think, and they couldn't tell whether Dong Jun was joking or serious, and they all looked at him in surprise.

Chu Heng has been numb from all kinds of eyes these days, stood up straight, walked in to meet all eyes, and asked casually: "Is Commander Xie in the hall?"

"No." Lu Ji's mouth was quicker than his brain, and he answered subconsciously, then came back to his senses, squatted on the ground and looked up at Chu Heng, stammering: "...Chu, Chu, cough... that , why are you here?" His voice faltered, and he thought dejectedly what he was talking about, couldn't Chu Heng from the Hall of Martial Arts come?

Chu Heng smiled softly, walked straight up to him, and said leisurely: "I'll take you home to farm." As he spoke, he reached out to touch the saber at his waist.

"..."

Lu Ji was in a daze, and it was good to slow down his mind. He couldn't think of panic at this moment, opened his mouth, and subconsciously argued: "I, I wasn't Do not you know?"

Chu Heng raised his eyebrows, touched the hilt of his sword with a smile, nodded and said, "It's not too late to know now." He removed his fingertips from the scabbard, raised his finger towards Lu Ji, and signaled him to get up from the ground .

It was only now that Lu Ji's thoughts caught up belatedly, and he realized that Chu Heng was talking and teasing himself.He raised his head and looked straight up. Chu Heng was standing in the morning sun, with slightly curved brows and eyes on a "facade" face, half teasing and half funny looking down at him—the expression remained unchanged, Lu Ji gradually regained his composure. The person in front of him, looking left and right, isn't he still a good brother he is familiar with!

His brain turned a corner, and his courage returned, Lu Ji felt a little wronged, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it too late?" He rolled his eyes and muttered in a muffled voice, "It's been so long since I've been hiding it, I'm still not a brother. ? Let the Royal City Imperial Guards take so much advantage of our Wuying Hall, and their elite guards see that the leaders of the South Hall are not there, they are weak, and they bully me!"

Chu Heng laughed softly: "Then do you want me to call you back?"

"want!"

Lu Ji nodded immediately with a loud voice.

He squatted on the ground again and continued to draw circles, "If I had known you were Dong Jun, I would have been fine and worry about nothing before. How dare the imperial guards trouble you?"

"Okay, okay," Chu Heng said with a smile, "I'll pour you some wine to apologize for your crime, where do you want to eat?"

"Really?"

"The place is up to you."

Dongjun invites you to drink, this is really enough to brag for a whole year!Lu Ji thought about it for a second, Mahayana Realm has been my colleague for the past three years, and he is still my good brother who hangs shoulders!He was immediately blissed out, "hehehe".

Chu Heng gave him a funny look, and kicked his toes: "Get up, are you still squatting to count ants?"

"Hmm..." Lu Ji's face suddenly wrinkled, "Legs are numb."

Chu Heng was speechless, handed him a hand in disgust, and pulled him up.

As soon as Dongjun wanted to invite him to a drink, the other group of people present were not too happy, and they gathered around. After a few words, everyone went back to the past, "You can't just invite Lu Ji without telling the truth to the Hall of Martial Arts. !"

"..." It's all debts owed.

Lu Ji, the first one who took advantage, also followed suit, happy but suddenly worried, Yinghai City suffered a catastrophe, Su Lang and Xinghui rebelled in Yinghaiping but did not return; Yun Fei had been away for two years, I don't know what's going on now, and when we can meet and drink again.

……

Taking advantage of Commander Xie's absence, Chu Heng took the token of the Imperial Guard and went to Jingzhang Palace.Before leaving, after being arranged by a group of people for an evening break, I will go to the Dajiao Field to find a place for them, especially the dignity and face lost by Nandian, and I have to get back all at once.

"..."

Jingzhang Palace.

Dong Jun didn't show up for several days, and when he showed up again, he put on the clothes of the emperor's bodyguard again, with black hair tied up in a high bun, slung around his waist, he looked like a competent imperial servant.

It's just... not very harmonious.

In the past, Chu Heng served in front of the imperial court. He was a vase with no outstanding skills. He was promoted by His Majesty's golden words. Everyone thought he was lucky, and it was his blessing to be able to go to the Hall of Jingcheng.But now, Chu Heng has turned into Lishan Dongjun, and Ji Wuyue is wearing this bodyguard clothes, serving pen and ink in front of the imperial court...however you look at it, it feels strange.

In fact, in theory, Dongjun was in charge of serving Mo in front of the imperial court and received the salary of Jingzhang Palace. He could and should come, and didn't he come like this in the past few years?

But the truth is the truth, a Mahayana environment is peaceful and harmless here, from the guards guarding the palace in front of the palace, to the ministers and workers participating in political discussions in the palace, it is difficult to adapt well, and they want to look at him from time to time.

Especially the holy civil servants and military generals in the temple, there are many affairs in these celestial dynasties, including internal strife and rebellion, resisting foreign enemies, front-line food and grass war preparations, criminal trials of rebels and criminals, Lanjiang Chengshui diversion fortifications, post-war policies to comfort the people and settle the people, and events related to rebellious families. Disposal... All the conditions and conditions need to be drawn up by the bureaus of the Ministry of Taiwan, reported to the imperial court, and then discussed at the Great Court Meeting.

Outside the study, the courtiers of various ministries waited in batches, waiting for the emperor to summon them.It was hot in early autumn, and the door of the inner room was not closed, only a piece of palace gauze was used as a partition.The servants in the house served fragrant drinks and snacks, and put them on the table next to the ice mirror for the ministers and workers waiting for orders outside.

Face sacrificing is a nervous matter. Normally, unless you are close to important ministers, few people are big enough to eat in front of the emperor.But today is unusual. From time to time, an official will walk around the dining table, or take a dim sum, or pour half a cup of fragrant drink, and then stand in front of the ice mirror. He looked into the palace gauze twice, but it was not to spy on Tianyan, but to look at the imperial servant next to His Majesty.

It's been most of the morning, one after another, and different people come and go, just look at Dong Jun who is silent but has a strong presence in the eyes of everyone, and from time to time, he will study ink for His Majesty, find Looking for notebooks, writing down the main points of the memorial on paper, occasionally writing on behalf of the pen, and even refilling the tea twice for His Majesty in the middle, testing the temperature before serving it to His Majesty, it can be said to be very competent.

The civil and military officials who were watching all this were so competent that they felt extremely complicated.

——What did you give Li Shan to make Ji Wuyue so easy to talk to?

Everyone came out of the palace with such questions in mind, and at the same time, one thing became clearer - this was the Xuanxi Dynasty. It is important to learn how to bow your head. Otherwise, those who followed King Jing in the past—including Martial Lord Cangwu—will end up in the end.

Ji Wuyue was able to save Lian Songcheng, kill Fang Hongzhen, and join the family heads of the twelve cities in the south of the Yangtze River who fished in troubled waters. He stayed by the emperor's side, in the center of power, and in the Palace of Jingcheng where ministers and workers discussed affairs for three years. The minds of all officials in the Kyushu government have long been well aware of.He didn't just come here to fight for the imperial power. King Jing is gone, but Dongjun is still standing here with a sword, dressed in the emperor's personal guard uniform, the meaning is obvious——

He is also the Imperial Servant Mo.

If His Majesty needs it, Dong Jun doesn't mind Mingji Sword, and bring a few more uneasy dead souls.

……

The whole morning passed quickly, and after the imperial court's discussion was over, the last one to go out was a military commander, who was usually loyal and diligent, and his family had a long history of education. How can people in martial arts not admire the Mahayana realm?

So when he went out of the study room, he couldn't help but looked back slightly through the gauze curtain, but he didn't know if his eyes were dazzled, as if he vaguely saw Dongjun lying on His Majesty...?

The father-in-law of the Hall of Respect and Sincerity came over with a tray in his hand, but the general was full of doubts but didn't dare to look any further, he bowed his head as a salute and retreated.

In the study room, as soon as the courtiers discussing politics dispersed, Chu Heng got up from behind the side desk, walked to the dragon chair, and lay down on Ling Ye.

"tired……"

Ling Ye took him into his arms, and let him rub against his face in his arms. He bent his lips and said with a smile, "Your back hurts after sitting for a long time?"

Hearing this, Chu Heng raised half of his eyelids, looked at him and asked back: "Is the backache caused by sitting?" He looked away and muttered in a low voice, "People are going to be bent in half by you...you keep doing it for so long...Royal Have you practiced martial arts since you were a child? It seems like you can’t run out of physical strength... As a master of internal strength, I’m at a disadvantage on the couch..." While reading, he thought of the man in front of him with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs The figure, especially after taking off her clothes... her cheeks can't help being stained with red.

The smile on Ling Ye's eyebrows grew stronger, and he didn't talk much about it. He continued what he said just now: "Why don't you go out for a walk? Just go to see Ayan. He misses you very much, and he was arguing a few days ago. If you want to come to Mingcheng Palace, I stopped him, he still doesn't know that you are 'Uncle Dongjun'."

Hearing this, Chu Heng glanced at him: "I'm looking at you because I want to see the excitement!"

Ling Ye smiled and said nothing.

"Yeah—hmm—" Chu Heng thought for a while, and couldn't help snorting twice, then buried herself in Ling Ye's arms, raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, let's discuss it, and get some pieces of crispy candies later Let me take it with you, after coaxing the older ones, you have to coax the younger ones, hey..."

Ling Ye was noncommittal, put his hand on Chu Heng's waist and pinched him a few times, then took him by the hand and stood up from the throne, and ordered the Gao Bandit who was standing by the door: "Prepare the chariot, drive Yuzheng Palace, lunch is also served Put it there."

Looking back at Chu Heng again: "Why don't you change into Dong Jun's clothes before going?"

"..."

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement!

"Ah, why do I feel that Ayan will be more difficult to coax than you."

How much debt did he owe?

Yuzheng Palace is the Prince's East Palace, located on Jiuchongque East Road, some distance away from Jingzhang Palace.At noon, the sun was so strong that it was inconvenient to walk there, so Ling Ye ordered someone to prepare a car. The walls of the royal car were ingeniously crafted to cool off the heat, and there were ice mirrors in the car, which was cool and comfortable.

Luanjia was waiting at the front steps of the front gate, and the imperial guards on duty in front of the Jingcheng Palace watched the gate open. His Majesty stepped out, followed by... the imperial servant Mo, who had changed his clothes?

To be more precise, it was Chu Heng who had put back on Dongjun's usual plain brocade clothes, and was still holding half of a silver mask in his hand, with a somewhat melancholy look on his face, wondering what he was thinking about.

His Majesty, however, was smiling, and said "it's okay" and "he's always been good" as he walked, as if he was trying to appease Dongjun.

The two of them quickly descended the white marble steps, and the guards in front of the palace turned their gazes quietly, only to see that Dong Jun reached out to grab His Majesty's sleeve, shook his hand slightly, and then said something— —It seems to be... acting like a baby?

His Majesty showed his face and smiled, nodded as if to agree, then held Dong Jun's hand very naturally, and the two of them took the imperial car together.

This scene came into the eyes of the guards in front of the palace. Everyone looked at it, and felt that it was very harmonious for a moment. No one realized that something was wrong, but there seemed to be something strange in the vagueness, but they couldn't tell.

……

Yu drove into Yuzheng Palace, and before getting out of the car, Chu Heng took the mask and tugged Ling Ye, not forgetting to tell him: "Don't forget to help me later, it's agreed."

Ling Ye suppressed a smile and nodded, and got out of the car first.

At noon, Dabai Tuanzi had finished his morning literature class and came back from the Dashan Hall where the crown prince studied.Tuanzi has turned six years old this year, according to the regulations, it is the age to be the prince and respect the emperor, to respect the emperor's father and frighten the officials.Although Ling Ye loves him, the rules have to be established.

Because of the emperor's arrival, Tuanzi did not go to Zhaohui Hall in Yanju after school, but came to Chongzheng Hall in front, accompanied by Jing Xing.

Last year, with His Majesty's consent, Princess Qinghe divorced Jiang's son-in-law, who was disrespectful to her servant, and returned to Beijing with her only son, Jing Xing.The two dumplings are about the same age, and the cousins ​​hit it off very well, and soon played together, and the enlightenment reading was also in the same place.Now King Jing is rebelling, and the Jiang family is the backbone of the party. Although Jing Xing has changed his mother's surname, and Meng En has entered the imperial family's jade certificate, his identity is still somewhat sensitive.So not long ago, Ling Ye decreed to grant him the title of clan, and he will formally accept the title after the crown.By correcting his identity, he completely drew a line with the rebellious father's family, and finally let Qing and the eldest princess hang down their hearts.

Right now, Qing Yan and Jing Xing were led by Dong Jun's female officer, and they all went to the Chongzheng Hall to wait for the holy driver.Ling Ye hasn't chosen companions for the two dumplings yet, and when the civil strife settles down, it's time to take care of these matters.

It was hot in early autumn, and the dumplings were all waiting on the platform in front of the main hall. Chu Heng put on his iconic mask. As soon as Dong Junfu appeared in the field of vision, Dabai Tuanzi's black round eyes looked straight.

Fortunately, I still remember to pay my respects to the emperor first, and bowed in a hurry. Before Ling Ye could yell, he jumped up from the ground, smiled happily, and jumped into Chu Heng's arms cheering like a bird, looking up. Head first to call people, then tugged at the sleeves and said: "Hug—"

Chu Heng went to Changzhou a few days ago, and hadn't seen Dabai Tuanzi for a long time, and when he heard this, he also frowned and scooped him up.

He walked into the hall with the dumpling in his arms, and when he passed Jing Xing who was full of curiosity, he rubbed Jing Xing's head again, making Jing Xing confused by the "first" meeting, who didn't know who it was , looked at him, and looked at the emperor's uncle suspiciously.

Ling Ye smiled lightly and put a finger on his lips, signaling Jing Xing to enjoy the show, took his hand, and followed the two people in front into the hall.

Dabai Tuanzi wrapped around Chu Heng's neck, chattering non-stop with his "Uncle Dongjun". Chu Heng nodded in response to him as he walked. Let go.

After a while, he looked left and right at Chu Heng again, as if confirming, he said: "Uncle Dongjun is really here, I heard from my aunt a few days ago, I thought it wasn't there."

Ling Ye gave the order not to let the people in the East Palace say more, and Qingyan still doesn't know that Chu Heng is "Uncle Dongjun".

Chu Heng raised his lips and smiled, slightly guilty, nodded and said: "Of course I'm here, isn't this all hugging you?"

The voice was very familiar, very similar to his master. Qingyan tilted his head suspiciously, but without thinking too much, he continued to ask innocently: "Will Uncle Dongjun leave? If not, Ayan wants to learn sword."

Although Dayin also emphasizes the rule of literature, but the country is established by martial arts, and the children of Tianhuang's noble family are both civil and martial arts. After studying at the age of six, the crown prince studied literature in the morning and practiced martial arts in the afternoon.Qing Yan is also now getting started in martial arts. In the past, when he was enlightened, Chu Heng only taught him calligraphy and reading in his spare time. In terms of martial arts, he and the officials of the Eastern Palace were allowed to practice physical fitness and lay a foundation.At that time, it happened that Chu Heng hadn't confessed his identity to Ling Ye, and he originally planned to wait for Qing Yan to get started after he was six years old before formally instructing him.

Hearing this, Chu Heng looked at Dabai Tuanzi's gaze eagerly looking at him, and felt sincerely guilty of deceiving the children.

Of course he will not leave, of course he will teach.

only--

Chu Heng glanced at Ling Ye begging for help, the latter was eating grapes with Jing Xing, as if he hadn't paid attention to this place at all.Well, Chu Heng immediately knew that Ling Ye was here to watch the excitement.

He turned his head, met Dabai Tuanzi's gaze again, nodded and said, "Why did you leave? Isn't it always there?"

"Huh?" Qing Yan heard that he would not leave, and besides being elated, he was also a little confused, and looked at him a little puzzled, "Have you been here all this time?"

Chu Heng reached out and rubbed his round head, raised his hand and took off the mask, revealing a very familiar face of Qingyan.

Qingyan stared wide-eyed and looked at Chu Heng in front of him. He hadn't seen Master for a long time, and he missed him so much that he subconsciously became happy. His first reaction was to arch into Chu Heng's arms. Feeling that something was wrong, he gave a suspicious "hmm", raised his face and asked, "Why are you wearing a mask, and why are you wearing Uncle Dongjun's clothes? Master is back, isn't Uncle Dongjun here?"

Chu Heng was stopped by Dabai Tuanzi for a moment.

He was a little afraid to see Yan's black and innocent eyes clearly, he turned his eyes away and remained silent for a moment, then he was ready, turned back to look at him, and slowly replied: "Because, Master is Uncle Dongjun."

Dabai Tuanzi was stunned, "...how did Master lie to Ayan? How could Master be, um...Uncle Dongjun..."

"I didn't lie to Ayan," Chu Heng patted the head of Tuanzi, "It really is." He thought for a while, and then said, "We met in the suburbs of Beijing, Helan Tuo, that big black man bullied people with a knife , I beat him away. You were wearing a little white fluffy cloak, and you gave me a candy to hug..."

This is indeed the case... Qingyan has recalled everything with Uncle Dongjun many times, and he remembers it very clearly. He looked at Chu Heng in front of him, suddenly shrugged his mouth, and dropped Jindoudou with a sob, " Liar..."

Chu Heng was at a loss for a moment, Qingyan was always obedient and obedient, and Ling Ye pampered him, and he rarely cried, and the occasional few tears were because of mistakes, and he reflected on his father, fearing his father would scold him.It's rare to see such aggrieved look now.

Chu Heng's heart was in a ball, and he immediately hugged him in his arms, patted his head and coaxed him, but Dabai Tuanzi was really wronged this time, not only did his tears not stop, but they fell even more fiercely, and he hiccupped from crying.Seeing this, Jing Xing also ran over to knead the dumplings.Chu Heng was heartbroken, and quickly admitted his mistake, saying that he was wrong, while slapping Qingyan on the back in a hurry, raising his head and frowning, calling Ling Ye to come and help.

Watching the excitement again, the queen would get angry, His Majesty didn't dare to sit still, came over and patted Qingyan's head, and said funnyly: "Why are you crying, Uncle Dongjun is always by your side, isn't it good?"

It's okay if you don't say this, as soon as you say it, you know that the father didn't tell him!

Qing Yan nestled in Chu Heng's arms, crying even harder, "Woo... Father is also lying!"

Ling Ye was very innocent, and argued: "How could I lie to you..."

"Okay, okay," before Ling Ye could finish speaking, Chu Heng agreed, diverting the conflict and saying, "Hit him for you!"

As he said that, he patted Ling Ye lightly. His Majesty was at a loss and was not very happy. "Why should you hit me..." Seeing the queen's eyes slashing, he immediately stopped talking, "Okay, take the beating for the queen." nothing.

His Majesty took two more pieces of crisp candy from his pouch, gave one to Jing Xing, and handed the other to the sobbing Dabai Tuanzi.But this time, Dabai Tuanzi was really angry. He took a look at Sutang and took it. The crying stopped for a while, and then continued.

Chu Heng stroked his back to comfort him, and coaxed him softly, "Give me another ice-sweet bowl after lunch, okay?"

"Woo——" Qing Yan was crying convulsively, his eyes were red, and he heard the words and looked at his father.

Resigned and funny, Ling Ye nodded and agreed.

Only then did it gradually stop, Qingyan hiccupped a few times, opened his mouth to eat the crispy candy that Chu Heng fed him, leaned against Chu Heng's arms and looked at him.

Chu Heng took the wet handkerchief handed over by the maid, wiped his little face, met his aggrieved eyes, bent his lips and smiled, rubbed his head and said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't lie Ayan, I was wrong, please don’t cry, Ayan? I won’t be leaving from now on, Master Dongjun is here all the time, teaching you how to learn swordsmanship, huh?”

Qingyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she arched into Chu Heng's arms.

His tears came and went quickly, and he stopped crying if he said no.

Buried in Chu Heng's arms, she looked up at him from time to time, and gradually became a little happier.He likes Master, and he also likes Uncle Dongjun. Now the two of them are one, and they are always by their side. They used to be, and they will be in the future, teaching themselves to write and swordsmanship.

Qingyan tugged on Chu Heng's sleeve, and after a while she became elated, and began to talk to Chu Heng, asking questions around Chu Heng, asking him why he was wearing a mask, and why he didn't tell himself before.

The front of Chu Heng's shirt was stained with Dabai Tuanzi's tears, but fortunately, he often came here in Yuzheng Palace to teach Tuanzi how to learn calligraphy, so he prepared a few pieces of his outer clothes and brought them over to change into a temporary one.

During lunch, Dabai Tuanzi also stuck to Chu Heng's side, and there happened to be one dish during the meal that was boiled shrimp, Chu Heng didn't let the serving lady cook it, and peeled it for Qingyan and Jing Xing himself as an apology.

It made Dabai Tuanzi cry a lot, Chu Heng was very distressed, and didn't go back after lunch, so he simply stayed in Yuzheng Palace, took a nap with the two Tuanzi, and taught them how to touch the sword in the afternoon, and introduced them to martial arts.

And His Majesty can only go back to Jingzhang Palace to work alone, Dongjun can only make up for the loneliness in his heart at night.
