Linque

The next day, on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, there was little snow in the imperial capital.

When Chu Heng woke up, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and the sky outside was so foggy that people couldn't tell the time, but the first thing he realized when he woke up from his previous morning habit was——It's over, wake up late by himself I have to go to the Jingcheng Hall to be on duty, this time I will definitely be beaten.As soon as this thought came out, Chu Heng sat up suddenly, and didn't realize it until he turned his head and saw Ling Ye next to him.

This is not the Hall of Martial Arts, and everything that happened last night is not Nankey Yimeng. When he wakes up, His Majesty is still by his side.

"Are you awake?" Ling Ye was sitting on the outside of the bed, wearing a robe and flipping through a book in his hand, obviously he had been sitting for a while.

The brocade tent was picked up by the palace people, and the sky outside half the couch, Ling Ye saw Chu Heng's expression and knew that he was still in a daze, so he put down the book and held his hand, and said with a smile: "Are you still sleepy? If not If you are tired, get up and have breakfast."

Hearing this, Chu Heng glanced at the fine snow floating outside, then retracted into the quilt again, moved to Ling Ye's side, and put his head directly on His Majesty's waist.

Seeing this, Ling Ye laughed again, stretched out his hand to caress Chu Heng's cheek, and asked softly, "Don't you remember?"

"The bed is so comfortable," Chu Heng whispered, "I can't bear to get up." The golden nanmu dragon bed in Mingcheng Hall is spacious and comfortable, you can smell the quiet and clear woody fragrance from the pillow mat, and the mattress under you is thick It was soft, and the brocade quilt covered it was warm and light, not to mention that the person sitting beside him was someone he had been thinking about day and night. All these combined together gave Chu Heng a rare desire to stay in bed.

Yesterday when they came back from the palace, they didn't fall asleep until half past midnight. Ling Ye thought about it and didn't say anything. His Majesty, who has always been prudent and self-disciplined, simply stayed in bed with Queen Chu.He was flipping through the book in his hand, with a serious and focused expression, as if he was memorizing something.Chu Heng raised his head and glanced, seeing that Ling Ye was watching the ceremony of the former court, so he didn't ask any more questions out of curiosity.

They lingered on the bed for another half an hour, and Ling Ye finally put the book on the bedside. He thought that Chu Heng's spleen and stomach needed to be recuperated, and breakfast should not be skipped. He kept remembering the time in his heart. Nothing can lie down anymore.

Ling Ye got up and got out of bed, then stretched out his hand to pat Chu Heng who was wrapped in the quilt, and told him to get up with a gentle voice.Seeing Chu Heng shrunk into the bed, Ling Ye looked amused, recalled what he said just now, his eyes moved slightly, leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Don't be reluctant to part with the bed, since you have passed Danfeng Gate, From now on, I have to come here every day, and I won’t let go even if I want to run away.”

There seemed to be something in his words, Chu Heng's face flushed suddenly, without saying a word, he lifted the quilt and got off the bed.

Gao Bandit heard the movement in the room, and quickly led the maids in to serve.

But Ling Ye didn't do anything to others, he took off the clothes hanging from the hanger, and began to dress Chu Heng himself.

He traced Chu Heng's shoulders, waist, and clavicle with his fingertips, and along the way measured Chu Heng's body size with his hands, so he put on every piece of clothing very slowly, especially the last belt, which he drew inch by inch against his waist. In the past, it took three times to tie it repeatedly before tidying it up.

——I don’t know if I haven’t measured the size, but the method is very unscrupulous at first glance.

All the palace people in the room stood silently, watching their noses, noses, noses and hearts, not daring to look around. His Majesty took a long time to finally dress Chu Shimo, and Chu Heng in turn began to help Ling Ye get dressed. The gangster saw this , knowing that they don't need these extra people to serve, so he directly led the maid to tidy the bed.

When he got closer, Gao Bandit saw an open book of imperial ceremonies on the bed. When he picked it up and was about to close the book, he glanced at the words on it, and then he noticed that what His Majesty was reading while sitting on the bed was the ceremonies. "The Great Marriage of the Son of Heaven" in

Bandit Gao's heart skipped a beat, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Imperial Attendant Mo was "treating him in the same way", gesticulating with His Majesty's waist with his hands, while the emperor who was wantonly offended stretched his eyebrows and smiled, Looking down at the movements of Chu Heng's hands, there was no sign of impatience.

Bandit Gao glanced at it and then looked away, suddenly he knew something, closed the book and handed it to the palace servants around him, pretending that he didn't know, but his attitude towards Chu Heng in his heart was directly compared with that of Palace Master Zhaoren.

It took the two of them a quarter of an hour to get dressed, and finally Ling Ye lowered his head and pecked Chu Heng's lips, hooking Chu Heng's finger to signify defeat, and this early morning "tailor-made clothes" came to an end for the time being.

There are not many political affairs in the DPRK and China today, and the ministers are still talking about the Jingnan Silk Road and the chief examiners of the imperial examination.The former gradually took shape. Jingqing and Qingzhou were barren and bitterly cold. The imperial court had planned for a long time to open up this Silk Road.As for the latter matter, the quarrel in the court has become more and more intense recently, and it was difficult to settle it years ago. Ling Ye knew this well, and he was not in a hurry to come to a conclusion until the courtiers quarreled enough.

Except for these two major events, most of the other memorials presented to the imperial court were trivial matters of paying homage to Ann. Ling Ye simply didn't go to the Hall of Respect and Sincerity, and asked someone to bring the memorials. Chengdian passed.

The two of them were very happy all morning, and this good mood lasted until Chu Heng saw the medicinal porridge on the table.

From the first day when he returned to Jingcheng Hall after his leave on the [-]th day of the winter month, until yesterday the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, he ate medicinal porridge for eight days in a row, but he didn't expect that he could not escape today.Chu Heng looked at the porridge and immediately protested.

Ling Ye can no longer use His Majesty's majesty to overwhelm him, so he can only discuss with him: "Mr. Cheng said that this medicinal recipe will take ten days, and there are only two days left. Persevere, and I will accompany you." drink."

Chu Heng was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he still made a request: "Then I want to eat a piece of roast duck for lunch."

Ling Ye picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling for him, but Shen Yan didn't speak.

Chu Heng was immediately discouraged, picked up the spoon, stirred the bowl, and frowned, took a sip.Seeing him like this, Ling Ye was angry and funny, but in the end he didn't harden his mind, and said in a deep voice, "You are not allowed to eat more, you can only eat a small dish."

Chu Heng thought about this for many days, and his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he didn't even find the bitter medicinal porridge to be unpalatable.

Ling Ye was speechless for a while, everyone has a little temper, but he didn't know how Ye Jianwei and Mu Xiyun taught him, the only bit of willfulness that Chu Heng had was all on eating, and he let it go so quickly. Ling Ye saw it.

They got up late in the morning, and it was already early in the morning after breakfast, Ling Ye and Chu Heng divided the work, and finished approving the small stack of greeting papers in the small study of Mingcheng Hall.Just after taking a sip of tea and planning to go outside for a walk, the female officer of Shangfu came to tailor Chu Heng's clothes by order.

But the emperor changed his mind. Before the female officer could do anything, he stepped forward and took the tape measure on the tray, then turned around and called Zhu Geng who was standing by, and whispered something in a low voice. Chu Heng was far away, I only vaguely heard the phrase "use it at night".

After listening to His Majesty's instructions, Little Eunuch Zhu raised his head and glanced at Chu Heng quickly, took the tape measure from His Majesty's hand, and left with a smile.

Chu Heng didn't know why, so he looked up at Ling Ye, but Ling Ye didn't explain to him, and waved the female officer Shangfu away.

The female officer didn't measure the size, and even lost the ruler, she came out of the hall in a daze, the bandit Gao followed her, and whispered a few words about the people and things in the Mingcheng Hall not to be disclosed, otherwise it will be punished as speculation .

There is no empress in the palace. Although the inner court should be governed by the empress dowager in name, the emperor will not easily give her a chance to intervene. Now the six princes are all the emperor's people. There is no need to say these things about Gao Bandit. Immediately realized that the person inside was extraordinary, but this made her even more troubled, so she asked in a low voice: "Grandpa Gao, how to make this pajamas and underwear regardless of the size?"

Bandit Gao was standing with his apprentice just now, he listened to the emperor's instructions to Zhu Geng, coughed lightly twice, lowered his voice and said: "Pajamas, of course the size should be measured accurately , His Majesty will give another order some day, don’t be in a hurry today, anyway, it’s not something you can wear every night..."

The lady officer Shangfu didn't quite understand what was said later, but when Gao Bandit said that His Majesty would give orders again, she was relieved and turned around to leave.

Eunuch Gao looked at the back of the courteous female officer, and suddenly thought of His Majesty's unceremonious and unfamiliar tailoring technique when dressing in the early morning. He knew that the emperor must be drunk at night, so he turned around and called the servant again. Ask him to go to the Hall of Martial Heroes to pick up Chu Heng's inner shirt and send it to the Shangfu Bureau, and ask them to make two suits for comparison.

When Bandit Gao finished worrying about trivial matters and turned back to the palace, he saw two people wearing capes crookedly for each other.

It snowed lightly in the early hours of this morning, and overnight, the entire Jiuchongque was covered with a thin layer of silver frost.Now it is still snowing outside, but the sky is not so cold, Ling Ye glanced at the front court ceremony on the desk, planning to take Chu Heng there now.

From Mingcheng Palace, walk back along the imperial road along the central axis of Jiuchongque, pass through Xuande Gate, and you will arrive at a majestic palace directly behind Jingzhang Palace.

When passing by Xuande Gate just now, Chu Heng noticed that the gate named "Xuande" was exactly the same as the Chongji Gate in front of Jingzhang Palace, with the same double eaves and bucket arches, the same carved railings and jade masonry, high platforms and corridors. The road leads directly to the platform of the palace ahead, and the name of this palace is——

Zhaoren.

Chu Heng's heart was burning hot. When he saw these two words, his mind went blank for a moment. Before he could react, Ling Ye took his hand and walked in.

Many years later, when Ling Ye recalled this day, he didn't know what kind of impulse he had at that time—maybe it was the same as the feeling he had when he insisted on going out of the palace to see Chu Heng on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. In the palace named "Zhaoren", he fought a never-ending tug-of-war with the family courtiers and royal family members, but on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the eighth year of Xuanxi, he did not hesitate to use this room to house his son. The palace of the soul was handed over, and from then on, Zhaoren Palace had a master, and he also lived in his heart.

With the passage of time, everything finally got the answer, the fate is destined, maybe there is really a person in the world who can be so suitable that he is tempted at first sight, and the mountain and the sea will never change.

Until he stepped into the gate of the main hall of Zhaoren Palace, Chu Heng didn't recover.

In the end, it was Zhu Geng who had finished his work and walked in from the outside, which woke him up from the emotional trance.Zhu Geng stepped forward and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the dispute between the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and the Jiayong Marquis Mansion."

"how?"

Zhu Geng glanced at Chu Heng next to him, hesitated to speak, organized his words before replying: "This morning, the Marquis of Jiayong came again, and the Minister of Dali Temple had no choice but to send someone to invite Prince Yong'an to come to Dali Temple Have a cup of tea, and ask about the situation by the way, but when you arrive at the Yong'an Hou Mansion—"

When the members of the Xiao family heard that their eldest son had beaten Xu Shao, they immediately became angry.It is not unreasonable for the Xiao family of Yichong to be the number one family of Dayin, but how can they allow the Jiayonghou Mansion to slander them?The eldest son of their family was obviously invited to visit the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion on the fifth night of the twelfth lunar month, and Gu Yan could testify to this matter, so how could he condescend to beat up Xu Shao?

The blackmailers actually dared to blackmail their Yong'an Hou's mansion, butler Xiao was very angry when he heard the words, and called a group of generals to beat Dali Temple and the people from Xu's mansion out.

It just so happened that Xiao Gaomin heard the noise outside and came out, and after listening to Butler Xiao finished talking about the situation, the Shizi smiled instead of anger, and a pair of phoenix eyes swept over the people of Dali Temple and Xu Mansion one by one, scaring the group of people to death. When he was about to retreat, Shizi Xiao finally spoke——

"I beat it," Xiao Gaomin said without changing his expression, "with Ye Shuli, he took the lead. On the fifth night of the twelfth lunar month, he put Xu Shao's sack on Xuanping Street, beat him up and threw him in the On the side of the road. Alright, the case is over, you go to Lishan Luyuan to arrest people."

The time, place, people, and events were all exactly the same. Under Steward Xiao's stunned eyes, the Shizi calmly got into the carriage of Dali Temple.
