The emperor's heart alone

However, Xu Yunjin didn't think that the third prince who knew his existence would turn his attention to himself. He pretended to be the world's people in his heart. How many people can pretend to be a loved one?It is said that the emperor is ruthless, but he does not want to have the slightest weakness. If there is, many people don't mind erasing this weakness with their own hands.

Even if Xu Yunjin knew that Shi Junji loved him, he didn't dare to guarantee what Shi Junji's choice would be when facing the weight of Jiangshan. Since he didn't dare to guarantee, he certainly wouldn't ask for trouble , Ask some questions about "Which one is more important, me or the throne".

Xu Yunjin didn't say any more, and Shi Junji didn't say any more, but Xu Yunjin knew that Shi Junji had acquiesced in what he said, and he would still tell the third prince. Xu Yunjin was not afraid that the third prince would know, or that he was waiting for the third prince to come look for him.

When he got up the next morning, Shi Junji had already rushed back to the morning court, and Xu Yunjin returned home after having lunch in Zhuangzi.

Xu Tao, at that time, a scholar of Zhengyipindian Pavilion, the head of the Xu family, and his first wife were very affectionate. He had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was prosperous in the official career, and the second son was ignorant and incompetent. The official is the second-rank head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his daughter is a candidate. With the power of the Xu family, it is no problem to find a good marriage in the future. It can be said that Xu Tao is very proud of the spring breeze.

However, Xu Tao's elation was quickly broken by a piece of news.

When he learned from his friends that "Xu Yunjin is the emperor's male favourite" spread throughout the palace and the court, Xu Tao's face turned pale, and after repeated confirmation, he was comforted by his friends "the rumors are rumors after all, most of them are untrue". , Xu Tao reluctantly believed this kind of words, but he doubted it in his heart.

Thinking about Xu Yunjin's inexplicable never being the head of the House of Internal Affairs, Xu Tao became even more suspicious, but out of an inexplicable feeling, Xu Tao still stubbornly refused to believe this rumor.

Today, Xu Tao made an exception and returned to Xu's mansion early. At that time, even Xu Yunjin hadn't come back from the hot spring village. Xu Tao, who came back, was fidgeting in the study. For a while, he thought about waiting for Xu Yunjin to inquire carefully, and then felt that something was wrong. It's been a long time , Xu Tao also gradually calmed down.

In fact, this kind of behavior between men was not a taboo in the Daping Dynasty. Looking back, the history can be found more than 1000 years ago. Today, this kind of behavior is even a kind of elegant thing in the upper class. It is not surprising. There are even two men who never get married and have children together. Xu Tao is not such a pedantic person, but he is the emperor. Xu Tao absolutely does not want to see his son and the emperor together.

Of course, the current Xu Tao is still unwilling to believe that there is indeed such a relationship between Xu Yunjin and Shi Junji. He stubbornly believes that these are all rumors, because others can't understand his son suddenly sitting in such a high position Shangcai deliberately made rumors, it is definitely because of jealousy!If you want to add a crime, why do you have no excuse?

After calming down, Xu Tao felt that it would be too embarrassing for him to quarrel with Xu Yunjin for such an unreasonable reason. After thinking about it, he got up and walked to his yard.

Xu Jiashi was making cakes in the small kitchen on a whim today. Halfway through, she found Xu Tao coming in suddenly, and said in surprise, "Master, why did you come back so early today?"

Xu Tao was preoccupied: "Follow me into the house."

Xu Jiashi looked at the half-made cakes she had made in embarrassment, and then looked at Xu Tao's heavy expression, and finally followed Xu Tao to the house, and after entering the room, Xu Jiashi asked: "Master, what's the matter? "

Xu Tao frowned: "Ma'am, haven't you been choosing a suitable marriage partner for Yunjin? How is it going now? Is there any suitable girl?"

When Xu Yunjin's marriage was mentioned, Xu Jia was full of things to complain about: "Master, don't mention it, I have found a lot of famous ladies for Yunjin, and I also took the portraits to Yunjin one by one. Look, but Yunjin doesn't have a match, so I don't know what other women to look for now."

Xu Tao hurriedly said: "Don't worry about Yun Jin being in love with each other, find a woman as soon as possible, you don't need a famous lady, you can be a dignified person, and getting married is too hasty now, so let's book the marriage as soon as possible. The engagement needs to be bigger and lively, and I haven't had a gathering with my friends for quite a while, so I must invite them all, not only that, there will be banquets for civil and military officials throughout the court."

"Master, why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?" Xu Jiashi was puzzled. They all knew that Xu Yunjin would only get married after a weak crown, so even though he was making arrangements for Xu Yunjin's marriage right now, he was actually not in a hurry, otherwise he would Xu Yunjin would not be indifferent after returning so many portraits. Seeing that Xu Tao is in such a hurry to arrange a marriage for Xu Yunjin, Xu Jia will of course be puzzled.

Xu Tao coughed twice in disguise. He couldn't say that he made such a decision after hearing the rumors, not only he couldn't say it, but he wanted to hide it from Xu Jiashi as much as possible, so he said: "Seeing that Yunting has three I have a child, but Yunjin has not even been able to get married, am I also eager to have a grandson? You just need to hurry up and arrange Yunjin's marriage." He emphasized, "It's not worth finding some famous girl, you can Just live a down-to-earth life, it doesn't matter what kind of concubine, try to settle the marriage as soon as possible."

"Master!" Xu Jiashi exclaimed, "How can we, Yunjin, be a senior official of the second rank now, and also a son of a concubine, how can we marry a concubine?"

Xu Tao said it lightly, I am afraid that the rumors between Xu Yunjin and Shi Junji have spread all over the government and the public, even so, how many people are willing to marry their precious daughter?Even if his best friend is willing, he is not willing to wrong other people's daughters like this, so he said impatiently: "Our Xu family is already powerful enough, if we marry another daughter from a family with real power, it will be difficult for the emperor not to be jealous." Isn’t it worth the loss if we form a party for personal gain? Just do as I say.”

Seeing Xu Tao's unquestionable face, Xu Jia agreed on the surface, but she didn't think that way in her heart. In her opinion, what kind of woman is her son not worthy of?She absolutely would not agree to let her son marry a woman from a small family, but she secretly thought about finding a truly virtuous and virtuous lady for Xu Yunjin, but deliberately ignored Xu Tao's request.

After Xu Tao gave such instructions, he was still not at ease, and directly asked Xu Yunjin to be accompanied by a few more beautiful maids. In Xu Tao's mind, it was Xu Yunjin who took in a few concubines, which made the Xu family's reputation bad, and he also He absolutely didn't want Xu Yunjin to have anything to do with the emperor, and after thinking about it, he said that with a few handsome servants, Xu Tao would be able to accept whatever happened between Xu Yunjin and the servants. Just can't have any relationship with the emperor.

Xu Jiashi was astonished, but on the face she agreed, but afterward, none of the beautiful maids were sent to Xu Yunjin, only two handsome servants were sent. It was regarded as fulfilling Xu Tao's order, but there was something in her heart. Doubt, why is Xu Tao so anxious to settle Xu Yunjin's marriage all of a sudden?

After finishing these things, Xu Tao finally relaxed slightly, and left satisfied. After thinking about it, he didn't wait for Xu Yunjin to come back. If there is no such thing, what if Xu Yunjin gets on with the emperor as soon as he is stubborn?

Therefore, when Xu Yunjin came back, the Xu residence was no different, except that there were two young and handsome servants in his yard.Xu Yunjin was a little surprised, and asked Qinghuan who stayed in the mansion: "What's going on?"

Qinghuan looked at the two young servants, and then at Xu Yunjin: "Madam sent it over suddenly, and only said that she would stay to serve you, Second Young Master. I don't know the specifics." He opened his mouth and stared at Xu Yunjin, "Second Young Master, you won't kick me out, will you? Actually, I'm very capable."

Xu Yunjin resisted the urge to kick Qinghuan, turned around and asked the two boys: "What's your name?"

One said: "Snow cypress." The other said: "Cedar."

"The name is very interesting." Xu Yunjin said thoughtfully to Qingpei directly, "Let the two of them stay and tell Madam that I am very satisfied. As for what you want them to do, you can make arrangements."

Qingpei retreated under orders, took away Xuebai and Xuesong, and took Qinghuan away as well.

Xu Yunjin asked Sandalwood to guard outside the house, and ordered that no one should be allowed in. After entering the house, he directly entered Changping Palace through the secret passage.After coming out of the secret passage, he went directly to the inner hall of Changping Palace, and saw Xu Shi sleeping on the dragon bed with his nose bubbling.

He walked over and pinched Xu Shi's nose. This child didn't know who he looked like. He slept from morning to night and didn't make a fuss when he woke up. He didn't make a fuss like ordinary children when they were young. Xu Yunjin loved it very much. I have to say that this kind of Xu Shi also made Xu Yunjin and Shi Junji feel a lot easier. Although they didn't care about being found out about Xu Shi's existence, it's better to have less trouble at this time.

The piece of red silk warm jade has been hung around Xu Shi's neck. It can be seen that Xu Shi likes it very much. Holding tightly and not letting go, Xu Yunjin lovingly kissed Xu Shi's face, and tucked Xu Shi's quilt by the way, so that the waiters at the side could pay attention, and then walked towards the outer hall.

When approaching the outer hall, he heard voices from the outer hall. Xu Yunjin stopped and wanted to turn back. He waited until the people in the outer hall left before going out, but before Xu Yunjin could leave, the voice of a woman successfully made Xu Yunjin stopped.

There is a door between the inner hall and the outer hall for entry and exit. Not only that, there are also two screens placed in front of the door between the inner hall and the outer hall. The entry and exit must bypass the screen, and Xu Yunjin's current position is He has already stepped out of the door between the inner hall and the outer hall, and is standing behind the screen of the outer hall.

Coincidentally, Xu Sa, who was also in the outer hall of Changping Palace, was standing not far from the screen, turned his head slightly, and saw Xu Yunjin who was standing behind the screen at some time, his whole body stiffened suddenly, I don't know why It's better to walk over or stand where you are.

Xu Yunjin also noticed the way Xu Sa was looking at him, shook his head at Xu Sa, motioning him to keep quiet or come over, and then continued to listen to the conversation in the outer hall.
