Difficulty in deciphering

Two months after Wei Qing left, Panchao ushered in the fifth new year of Emperor Hui Ye's reign.On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Huiye announced the "seal" in the court hall, and the officials stopped all official duties and devoted themselves to the preparations for the new year.

Lin Huiye was not idle in the spare time, she took Lin Jieyu and cleaned up the Yannian Palace herself.

Although it was said verbally that Lin Huiye and Lin Jieyu cleaned up together, in fact, only Lin Huiye was talking and Lin Jieyu was doing it.

"Xie Yu, come down and rest." Seeing Lin Jieyu curling up his sleeves and lightly landing on the beams to wipe the beams in the winter, Lin Huiye frowned slightly and said.

"It's okay." Hearing that Lin Huiye was talking to him, Lin Jieyu looked down at Lin Huiye and smiled. "This place is beyond the reach of the maids, and I want to clean it from the inside to the outside. May your Majesty have a smooth next year."

"I let you down."

During Lin Huiye's words, Lin Jieyu jumped off the roof, and happened to land in front of Lin Huiye.

"Look at your hands, they're all red." Lin Huiye said while frowning at Lin Jieyu's hand, while cupping it into his palm.But the moment he raised his head, he found that Lin Jieyu was looking straight at him, so he asked. "how?"

"Hui Ye, I..."

Seeing that Lin Jieyu seemed to have something to say, Lin Huiye was not in a hurry to answer, but just looked at her.

"I..." Lin Jieyu saw the sunlight shining in Lin Huiye's gloomy pupils, but he couldn't say "I like you" after all. "I... seem to be a little tired."

"When you're tired, listen to me play the piano for a while." Hearing what Lin Jieyu said, Lin Huiye laughed.

"Playing the piano?" Hearing these two words suddenly, Lin Jieyu didn't react for a while. "You...? Can play the piano...?"

"What? I can also play the piano, but I don't play it very often." Lin Huiye smiled. "Do you want to listen?"

"Yes! I want to listen!"

In the sunny afternoon, Lin Jieyu sat beside the Yangqin holding hot tea, looking expectantly at Lin Huiye who put his ten fingers on the strings.However, when Lin Huiye played the first note, Lin Jieyu almost spit out the tea he just drank.

"Hui...Huiye..." After Lin Huiye played for a while, Lin Jieyu couldn't help but interrupted.

"Huh?" Lin Huiye stopped and looked sideways at Lin Jieyu.

"This...qin...be gentle when playing..." Lin Jieyu thought about his words. "If this continues...the string will break..."

"Isn't I playing gently?" Lin Huiye blinked.

"Yes... a little bit." Lin Jieyu said with a twitching smile.

She thought... This is more than not gentle... It is simply... Cruel.

"But when I played it before... the maids all said that it sounds good, saying that I played it just right." Lin Huiye said seriously without realizing it.

They lied to you...

This sentence reached Lin Jieyu's mouth but still didn't come out, she could only shake her head helplessly before saying.

"It's better... the minister will teach you..."

The afternoon sun shone transparently into the Yannian Palace, Lin Jieyu walked around from behind Lin Huiye, and covered Lin Huiye's with his hands.Lin Huiye only felt that Lin Jieyu's voice was gentle, whispering in his ear.

"When playing the piano, pay attention to the dryness and cleanliness of your fingers, keep your mind calm, and fully appreciate the direction of the rhythm...just like...like this."

Following Lin Jieyu's final sound, Lin Huiye's fingers were led by her to dial out the first note.

"And...so."

One after another, the musical notes flowed out from Lin Huiye's yangqin, forming a gorgeous and melodious rhythm.

Zhao Minghe was originally led by Chuanyi to meet Lin Huiye, but he stopped when he heard the sound of the piano.She stood at the door, looked sideways, and saw Lin Huiye, surrounded by Lin Jieyu, playing the piano.In the warm sunshine, such a wonderful picture made her heart tremble.

"General Zhao...Look..." Chuanyi said when he saw Zhao Minghe stop.

"You go down first." Zhao Minghe ordered.

"Yes... the miscellaneous family will step down now..." Seeing this situation, Chuanyi slipped very fast as if his feet had been oiled.

After Chuanyi left, there were only three of them in the huge Yannian Palace.Zhao Minghe turned around and leaned against the stone pillar at the entrance of the main hall to listen to the piano.She just listened and listened, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a smile.

That smile also melted into the sunshine, which was extraordinarily warm.

The day before New Year's Eve, General Liu returned to court.Lin Huiye didn't wait on the city wall, but greeted her in the Kunhong Hall.I still remember that sunny day, when Liu Rui was dressed in silver armor, he just walked in from the gate of Kunhong Palace in such an imposing manner.Lin Huiye leaned on the dragon chair, looked at her lazily, and saw the shadow of Zhao Minghe in her body.

Sure enough, if they both came out of the barracks, would they have a similar aura?

For a moment, Lin Huiye thought so.

However, at night, this kind of thought completely dissipated.

At night, Lin Huiye had just finished changing and was about to fall asleep.Then he listened to Lian Ertong's preaching.

"Your Majesty... Liu... General Liu, please see me..."

Lin Jieyu, who was making Lin Huiye's bed at first, stopped when he heard it.

"Say yes... there is something urgent..."

"It's urgent again." Lin Huiye said, frowning.

Lian'er didn't understand why Lin Huiye used the word "you", she saw her majesty ponder for a while, and finally left the door of the bedroom.

"Your Majesty?!" Liu Rui had been waiting anxiously at the gate of the hall, but when he saw Lin Huiye coming out in only his underwear, he couldn't help being startled, his heart beating wildly. "You...why did you come out like this? Don't you put on a coat? It's...it's the Chinese New Year soon...what to do if you catch a cold..."

"It's an urgent matter." Lin Huiye reminded with cold eyes.

"Before that... Please allow me to ask a question first... that is... Is the medicine that I sent to His Majesty last time to treat your wounds available? The effect..." Liu Rui wanted to continue, but he was surprised by the look in Lin Huiye's eyes It condensed into ice, so he changed his mouth. "The effect is not bad! So I came here this time to tell you...Chen..."

Seeing Liu Rui pause, Lin Huiye raised his brows slightly and looked at her.

"I went to the northeast border of the Pan Dynasty this time... and found something."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Liu Rui was about to get to the point, Lin Huiye asked.

"That's... Chen... I miss you very much." Liu Rui said awkwardly. "I... seem to... like you."

For a long time, Lin Huiye did not respond.Liu Rui secretly looked at her sideways, but listened to her.

"I don't want you, and I don't like you, you can step back."

"It doesn't matter, I can..."

Seeing that Liu Rui wanted to say something more, Lin Huiye closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said a word.Liu Rui only felt that every word she said seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth, she said...

"Give me... Get out!"

On the way back to the general's mansion, Liu Rui was very depressed all the way, and even when she got home, she grabbed the servants one by one to have a drink with her.

However, in the end, the servants were not drunk, but their general was completely drunk.

"This...how good is this." The little maid looked at Liu Rui who was lying on the table in a puddle of drink and said worriedly.

"What should I do... just let the general fall asleep like this..." another little maid said. "Anyway, she never pursued these things."

"In this case... will the general feel uncomfortable when he wakes up the next morning?" the little maid obviously disagreed. "I don't know what's bothering her..."

"It doesn't matter, our adults are in good health and have a wide heart. After sleeping, nothing will happen."

"That's right." The little girl agreed with this point. "It's just a little bit too good-tempered."

On New Year's Eve, all officials were summoned by Lin Huiye to have a New Year's Eve dinner in Ronghua Hall.Tang Ruian sat down next to Zongren, and chattered endlessly as soon as he sat down.

"Talk about it... It's just that His Majesty doesn't accept male favors... Isn't it? We have to eat with us for the New Year's Eve dinner... How empty and lonely it must be."

"Master Tang." Hearing what Tang Ruian said, Zong Ren said. "I want to ask you something, is it okay?"

"Of course it's possible," Tang Ruian said. "Master Zong, what are you trying to do to be polite to the next official?"

"May I ask how Master Tang lived so long without being executed by His Majesty?" Zong Ren blinked.

"You! You, you, you...!" Tang Rui'an said. "It's New Year's Eve! What kind of bad luck have you encountered!"

"Because...your mouth...is really the so-called invincible and cheap."

"Zong! Ren!" Tang Ruian said angrily after hearing what Zong Ren said. "Remember! If you don't avenge this revenge, I, Tang Ruian, will never be an official!"

However, Zong Ren laughed when he heard Tang Ruian say that.

He thought, maybe Tang Ruian would live longer without being an official.

After taking his seat, Zhao Minghe was always upset.No... It should be that since Liu Rui returned to the palace, Zhao Minghe has been feeling guilty and disturbed.What's more, that person sat next to him without exception tonight.

After the dinner started, Zhao Minghe picked up the wine glass and drank one after another.

"Minghe." Liu Rui called Zhao Minghe when he saw that Zhao Minghe was only focused on drinking and not talking.

"Huh?" Zhao Minghe turned his head and looked at Liu Rui.

"Let me tell you something." Seeing Zhao Minghe taking care of himself, Liu Rui pretended to be mysterious. "This is my big secret...you...you must never tell anyone."

"Speak." Seeing that Liu Rui was still willing to share secrets with him and treat him as a friend, Zhao Minghe's mood improved a lot, so he approached Liu Rui to listen.

"Let me tell you...I told Your Majesty last night..."

"Pfft! Cough cough cough...!" Halfway through Liu Rui's words, Zhao Minghe felt a sip of wine choking in his throat, it was extremely hot.

"I'm talking to you about business... What are you spraying on... Did you choke?!" Seeing Zhao Minghe spit out a sip of wine, Liu Rui hurriedly wiped her mouth and said. "Just be careful when you drink..."

"It's alright...you keep talking."

"After I told His Majesty about that incident... I was driven back to the mansion by His Majesty... I kept drinking sadly until the next morning..."

Zhao Minghe only felt that Liu Rui's words were floating in his ears, but he only remembered one sentence.

what……

It turned out to be sent back.

Zhao Minghe laughed.

"Hey, hey...you are so inhumane...I'm so miserable and you still laugh." Seeing that Zhao Minghe actually smiled, Liu Rui was furious.

"I'm sorry...I...I'll go out first."

"You, where are you going? Why are you still walking...Are you okay? Minghe? Minghe!" Seeing Zhao Minghe standing up like this and walking wobbly, Liu Rui was not at ease.She also stood up, and just about to chase out, she was caught by other toasting officials, and she could only watch Zhao Minghe swaying out of the gate of Ronghua Hall.
