Two days later, New Year's Eve arrived as scheduled.

This year, Emperor Guangxi's dragon body was not in good shape, so he no longer attended the family reunion banquet on New Year's Eve, and the empress dowager presided over the royal banquet instead.

After Shen Qingzhuo tidied up, he left for the Zichen Hall before the dinner, and paid his respects to the Holy Majesty first.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully ask for the emperor's peace." Master Shen lifted his brocade robe and knelt down to salute, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Cough, cough..." Emperor Guangxi coughed weakly twice, "Get up."

Shen Qingzhuo got up as he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Guangxi seemed to be mocking himself: "Today's New Year's Eve, I have to drink medicine, can I really...Long live?"

Shen Qingzhuo looked as usual: "The emperor's blessings are equal to the sky, and he should live forever."

Emperor Guangxi wiped the medicine stains on the corners of his lips with Concubine Yuan's hand, and said again: "I won't be attending the royal banquet tonight, so please keep an eye on me."

Shen Qingzhuo cupped his hands and replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is properly arranged."

"Especially the King of Qin, who hasn't returned to the palace for the New Year for several years." Emperor Guangxi narrowed his cloudy eyes, "The Queen Mother has never liked my younger brother very much. You should keep an eye on the Longevity Palace and make sure that the King of Qin will never leave the palace before he leaves the capital." Anything goes wrong."

Shen Qingzhuo looked solemn: "I understand."

After explaining clearly what should be explained, Emperor Guangxi waved his hand wearily, "Go down."

After Shen Qingzhuo exited the palace, he went to Chengde Hall again.

When he walked to the entrance of the hall, he didn't pay attention for a moment, and almost bumped into a tall and strong figure.

"Be careful." A thick and pleasant voice sounded, and then a hand supported his arm.

Shen Qingzhuo stood firm, "Sorry."

He raised his eyes and saw that the man in front of him was wearing a dark blue python robe. He was imposing and imposing, with an extraordinary appearance. He had a decisive temperament that could not be concealed. His deep and handsome features were somewhat similar to His Royal Highness King Jin.

No, to be precise, it should be that the little apprentice is somewhat similar to this Sixth Emperor Uncle.

"His Royal Highness King Qin." Shen Qingzhuo confirmed the identity of the other party almost at a glance, took a step back, and bowed his hands.

For the real hero of the original book, in fact, he has always had a little curiosity in his heart.

According to the description in the original book, Xiao Luchi was not interested in the throne. As the most favored youngest son of the late emperor, he went to the battlefield at the age of 14. At the age of 16, he invited himself to go to Shuodong early to guard the Dayong Dynasty. party.

Therefore, he also became the only prince who survived the battle to seize the heirloom that year.

First, it was because Emperor Guangxi knew that he had no ambitions for imperial power. Second, for so many years, the King of Qin had occupied Shuodong, armed with heavy troops, and made great achievements in battle. He had already become an indispensable banner of Shuodong. Emperor Guangxi dared not Move him easily.

Of course, after the little tyrant came to power, he didn't care about the king of Qin or Shuodong's army, if he said to cut the feudal clan, he would cut the feudal clan without showing any respect.

And one of the keys that led King Qin to decide to fight for the throne is Lin Jinyu, another male protagonist in this book.

The two had known each other for many years and cherished each other. After Xiao Luchi took charge of Shuodong, they still exchanged frequent letters.Master Lin has the world in mind, full of ambitions and nowhere to display them, despised the tyrant's various actions, and finally succeeded in instigating King Qin.

Of course, now that Mr. Lin is on the same boat as him, many things will become much easier.

Xiao Luchi looked at him with great interest, "Mr. Shen, it's been a long time."

"After so many years, His Royal Highness King Qin still remembers me, and I am very honored." Shen Qingzhuo replied modestly.

Xiao Luchi laughed and said: "Someone has been talking about Mr. Shen in my ear, how can I not remember?"

Shen Qingzhuo also smiled: "It seems that I have to thank that certain adult."

After exchanging a few simple greetings, the two stepped into the hall one after the other.

Emperor Guangxi did not attend this New Year's Eve family banquet, King Jin was absent due to illness, and the rest of the palaces did not pay much attention to it. The huge Chengde Hall was no longer as lively as before.

The princes who were present all saluted and greeted the Sixth Emperor Uncle. His Royal Highness King Qin responded one by one, and then knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager to pay her respects.

The empress dowager was on the throne, her eyes were full of kindness and kindness, she couldn't see what was going on in her heart at all.

A family banquet, the surface is harmonious, but the smoke is filled with gunpowder in the dark, and each has ghosts and tries to test each other.

From the beginning to the end, Shen Qingzhuo was highly tense, secretly observing everyone's movements.

It's not yet time, His Royal Highness King Qin must not have any accidents tonight.

Fortunately, the reunion banquet ended smoothly in the end, but His Royal Highness Qin Wang was drunk a lot of wine during the banquet. To be on the safe side, Shen Qingzhuo decided to personally send His Royal Highness Qin Wang out of the palace.

"By the way, I heard that King Jin was seriously injured unfortunately." Xiao Luchi smelled of alcohol all over his body, and his footsteps were relatively steady. "As the uncle of the emperor, I should go and see him out of emotion and reason."

Shen Qingzhuo frowned, and replied: "Jiyue Pavilion happens to be in the same direction, I will send your highness a ride."

***

On New Year's Eve, the palace roads are covered with festive lanterns, and the way to Changle Palace is brightly lit.

Walking to the gate of the palace, Shen Qingzhuo's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Just now along the way, he chatted with His Highness King Qin casually, every sentence seemed casual, but in fact every sentence contained deep meaning, naturally there was no time to think about it.

But now that he was getting closer and closer to the gate of the temple, he couldn't help but recall that chaotic night——

The rapid breathing sprayed at the base of the ears, and the body that covered him was hard and hot, like a red-hot iron, and he couldn't push it away, and couldn't get rid of it.

A deadly numbness rose from the tailbone, as if an electric current was rushing through the whole body, and Shen Qingzhuo's whole body softened uncontrollably.

"No..." He was contaminated by the heat emitted by the young man. He obviously didn't drink the bowl of velvet antler soup, but his whole body was so hot that he was about to burn, "How, how can I help..."

The young man still buried his head in his neck, raised a slender and powerful hand, and groped to find the hand that he had nowhere to put.

The palms of the hands pressed against the backs of the hands and slowly rubbed down, forcefully yet gently squeezing the wet and soft fingers, forming an intimate posture of interlocking fingers.

Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help trembling, "Xiao Qi..."

The palm of the palm that has been dancing with knives and guns for a long time is covered with a layer of calluses, scratching the delicate skin slightly rough, and every bit of rubbing brings a clearly detectable strange feeling.

Before he knew it, his hands were drenched with sweat, and he wiped them off impatiently, but soon new sweat broke out again, and the cycle repeated, as if the hot sweat couldn't flow cleanly...

In a daze, he felt his hands were sore and numb, and even thought that he was going to be burned to death, so he couldn't help sobbing, "Xiao Qi..."

Soon, the young man freed his other hand, and pinched the back of his neck with a gesture of absolute control.

The fiery palm was kneading the smooth and jade-like nape of the neck, and the pad of the thumb rubbed a small piece of skin red. The young man covered his ears, and called him in that low and magnetic voice: "Sir, sir ...I really like Mr...."

But Shen Qingzhuo couldn't hear what the young man was saying at all, all his senses were forced to gather in one place.

As time went by, he squeezed out a light and soft protest sound from his throat, like a newborn kitten being pinched by the back of its neck with evil intentions. Voice……

……

"Master Shen?" Xiao Luchi noticed that the footsteps behind him stagnated, and immediately turned around and asked, "Why did they stop?"

Shen Qingzhuo woke up like a dream, his earlobes as white as jade turned red in an instant, and he tried to calm down and said: "No, it's nothing... Your Highness, please!"

Xiao Luchi glanced at him suspiciously, turned around and stepped into the threshold.

Shen Qingzhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked in behind His Highness King Qin with a blushing complexion.

Since the ridiculous night, he has intentionally or unintentionally avoided his little apprentice for the past two days.But as the saying goes, if you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth day of the junior high school. He can't hide forever.

It's okay, isn't it just doing the little apprentice a favor? As a gentleman, it's normal to help the little apprentice solve problems, just treat it as...

Just treat it as a teacher's one time, teach and demonstrate in person.

Thinking of this, the heat in Shen Qingzhuo's ears finally subsided.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Qin is here to see you." Soon, he raised his hand and knocked on the door with his usual tone.

A deep and magnetic voice came from the hall, "Come in."

Just two short words, instantly evoked memories that shouldn't exist in Shen Qingzhuo's mind.

The voice sticking to his ears made his heart beat faster, the hoarse voice was mixed with emotion, it was surprisingly nice and bewitching, especially at the last moment...

Stop!

Shen Qingzhuo suddenly came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and opened the door with lowered eyes.

"Sixth Emperor Uncle." Xiao Shen's eyes swept over Mr. Qin without a trace, and then stayed on King Qin, "It's inconvenient for my nephew to stand up to salute Sixth Emperor Uncle, please don't blame him."

"Family, don't be too polite." Xiao Luchi stared at him for a moment, then sighed with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years, you seem to have grown into an adult."

In fact, King Qin left the palace early, and he seldom returned to Beijing afterwards. He only met the seventh prince who grew up in the palace once, and he really didn't have any uncle and nephew relationship. Therefore, there is no fight in the original book. Relentless.

"Thanks to Uncle Emperor." Xiao Shen smiled palely, "Uncle Emperor, please sit down, come and have tea."

After the two exchanged a few words of pleasantries, perhaps they drank a few more glasses of wine at the banquet, Xiao Luchi casually talked with his nephew about the situation in Suixi, including whether Xirong really negotiated peace, how to ensure that the barbarians would not dare to offend Dayong again, and maintain Long-term peace and stability at the border, etc.

Shen Qingzhuo stood on one side, listening without saying a word, thinking that His Highness King Qin is testing his little apprentice, and it seems that the wine is not too much.

After about two cups of tea, Xiao Lvchi got up, "It's getting late, you should have a good rest."

Xiao Shen cupped his hands and replied: "Uncle Huang, go slowly, forgive my nephew for not being able to send him far away."

Xiao Luchi glanced at him again, then turned around and walked out. Unexpectedly, the spirit of alcohol happened to surge up, and he accidentally tripped over the threshold.

Shen Qingzhuo quickly supported him, "Your Highness, be careful."

Xiao Luchi put his arms on his thin shoulders, and the distance between the two of them was so close that they could see the distinct eyelashes, he couldn't help laughing: "Let me help you, you help me, this king and Mr. Shen are considered to be friends today. Evened out."

At the same time, Xiao Shen's expression darkened, his hands on the quilt suddenly tightened, and his knuckles creaked.

"Your Highness is right." Shen Qingzhuo let go of his hand calmly, "I'll send Your Highness out."

He sent King Qin out, and Mr. Lin who was on duty tonight happened to be waiting at the door.

The moment Xiao Luchi saw Master Lin, his drunken phoenix eyes lit up, "Ayu?"

"Master Lin has to be on duty for the New Year's Eve banquet. It's really hard work." Shen Qingzhuo said politely, "His Royal Highness Qin Wang is drunk, please trouble Master Lin to send His Highness back safely."

Lin Jinyu nodded slightly: "Don't worry."

Finally seeing off the Bodhisattva King Qin, Shen Qingzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, turned and walked back.

Walking to the entrance of the inner hall again, his steps froze again.

However, before he could prepare himself well, a big hand suddenly stretched out from the door and pulled him in.

"Ah!" He let out a low cry, and crashed into the familiar embrace.

"Sir." Xiao Shen lowered his head, his thin lips approached the tips of his red ears, "Have you avoided me enough?"

"I..." Shen Qingzhuo was tightly wrapped around his waist by a strong arm, but to no avail, he could only quibble softly, "I didn't, I didn't hide from you."

"Really?" Xiao Shen pulled out a hand, pinched the sharp chin of the man in his arms, and forced the gentleman to look up at him, with an extremely resentful tone, "You know, sir, I didn't see him when I woke up that night." Mister, how lost is your heart?"

The obsidian-like pupils were wet, and his expression looked terribly wronged, like a poor dog that was abandoned by someone.

Shen Qingzhuo was so upset that he apologized subconsciously: "I'm sorry, sir didn't leave you on purpose..."

Unexpectedly, he succeeded so easily, Xiao Shen hugged Mr. into his arms again, "But Mr. Tonight can take the initiative to come to me, I am so happy!"

"Happy New Year's Eve, Xiaoqi." Shen Qingzhuo blinked his eyelashes and realized belatedly, "That's not right!"

Obviously it was the little apprentice who begged him for help, which caused his palms to catch fire, and it still hurts now. How do you make it look like he is a scumbag who turns his face and doesn't recognize anyone?

The author has something to say:

Mr.: I'm not a scumbag!Conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy!

Wolf cub: Well, it’s a sweet conspiracy to eat Mr. one bite at a time~

Everyone put on your pants first!Xiaoqi must take a bath and burn incense before eating the gluttonous feast, I understand~
