After wearing lotus essence

Li Gong Yuan is a northeast corner of the imperial palace. During the first emperor’s time, it was specially used to raise raptors and animals. When Shang Cizhou became emperor, he felt that keeping these animals was a waste of food, so the animals were released, and those that could not be released. All were given to the aristocratic family, so the resources of the palace would not be wasted.

Rong Mu listened to Lianyu chanting all the way: "The master was not around in those years, and the emperor didn't know what kind of tricks he had, either to fight wars or to make money. Now that I think about it, he probably didn't want to propose marriage to Nandai Get ready!"

Rong Mu laughed in his heart: "It's not just for me, his money-making mind has already appeared. It is estimated that he just had nothing to do before and was idle. Filling the treasury is always the top priority."

Lianyu held an oil-paper umbrella for him, so that the cold wind in late autumn and early winter could not blow Rong Mu's face.

"In short, this place is not very good. The emperor doesn't come here a few times a year, and he used to be a livestock herder. Arranging people and things from other countries here is more or less contemptuous."

Rong Mu was wearing a white feather robe, and the fallen leaves were swirling under his robe.

He said slowly: "Since ancient times, it's nothing more than being a king and defeating a bandit. Great merchants have praised themselves as a state of etiquette and civilization, but according to Shang Cizhou's principles, if you don't follow the etiquette and turn around, you will be punched by the bang bang. Foreign peace is based on the absolute deterrence of force." Under the circumstances, the discerning small country naturally wants to obey and please, after all, the first Xiyue is gone."

Lianyu sighed and shook her head: "The emperor star is so terrifying, but I still think that the master is the most powerful."

Rong Mu stepped over a threshold and heard Lianyu continue: "Killing is easy but saving lives is difficult. Shang Cizhou is too sharp and frightening. He is no more gentle than Master. Anyone who sees you will fall in love with you."

"You're the one with the sweetest tongue." Rong Mu said with a smile.

Lianyu lowered her eyes shyly: "Master, be careful about the steps."

There was an acquaintance standing at the gate of Ligongyuan, Rong Mu walked closer and saw that it was Yin Yi whom he hadn't seen for a long time, when Shang Cizhou went to the battlefield without a hidden guard, Yin Yi was really aggrieved for a long time.

The two gate guards didn't know Rong Mu very well, so when they saw Yin kneeling to greet him, they also quickly knelt down.

"Your Highness is well."

Rong Mu: "Well, where is your master?"

Yin turned back and said: "Your Majesty is inside, and came over after seeing the courtiers. This time, many countries have sent rare birds and animals, as well as slaves and jewels. Your Majesty personally came to pick out some novelty gadgets for you. "

slave?Rong Mu was puzzled: "Why did you send everyone here?"

Yin Yi pushed open the gate of Li Palace for him and said: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, they are all rushing to send them off, not only slaves, but also some kabuki musicians, if His Highness is interested, you can also summon them to play."

Rong Mu nodded casually, followed Lianyu and walked inside.

Yinyi leaned slightly towards his back again, and the little guard next to him asked curiously: "My lord, this is...?"

Yin looked at the two of them: "I am here today to remind you that from now on, when you see the master and servant in white robes and red clothes, you should respect them as if you were seeing the emperor. If your majesty knows that this master has been neglected, you I'm afraid I won't even see the sun tomorrow."

The two were startled, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I think this is His Royal Highness the Prince of the Southern Dynasty?"

Yin hummed: "I still know something."

The two looked at each other, suppressing the astonishment in their eyes. They have seen many foreign beauties here in the past few days, but whoever comes in front of the Nandai Prince is probably like the starlight seeing the sun, who is suppressed and sees everything gone.

It's no wonder that His Majesty is fascinated, this face is made of jade and gold, who would not be confused...

Rong Mu and Lianyu entered the Li Palace Garden, only to see the crooked interior, the house was divided into several courtyards, many of them were closed and bleak, and a few seemed to be lived in, but here Just like the Leng Palace, there are not many servants in the courtyard. It is estimated that these visitors from other countries are all self-sufficient.

Lianyu kicked away a bunch of dead leaves under his feet: "The emperor really knows how to save money."

Rong Mu looked around, indeed, even a small corner of the pavilion is more valuable than this place, Shang Cizhou's heart is also very partial.

The two master and servant walked while chatting, and through several windows, many people were secretly observing them.

Most of these people are sent slaves, and those who dare to open a small window are all beautiful and skilled actors.

Lianyu lowered the umbrella to cover it, but Rong Mu didn't notice much, he just walked around in the courtyard with his hands clasped, his whole temperament was a bit out of tune with this place.

There was a rustling sound from the corner, Rong Mu gave a suspicious "hmm", Lianyu's umbrella blocked his sight, Rong Mu stopped and raised his hand, pushing the umbrella up slightly with his fingertips , tilted his head slightly and looked to the side.

The little slave who looked like a stack of radishes behind the window fell down with an ouch, Lianyu frowned, and Rong Mu said with a smile: "It's all right, let's go."

Lianyu: "People from these small countries are so rude!"

Rong Mu patted Lianyu's head: "It's just a poor person who lives under the fence, the business is to ask Shang to say goodbye."

Lianyu just gave up.

Not long after the two had passed by, human voices sounded in the courtyard.

"...Who is he, how can he move around at will?"

"Is he here to look for the Great Shang Emperor?"

"So beautiful, the emperor must love him very much..."

"Shh, don't say it, don't say it, I heard that the emperor of the Shang Dynasty can eat people and use skulls as wine glasses!"

The emperor who was rumored to use a skull as a wine glass was standing among the gold, silver and jewelry piled all over the floor, and he had already pinched a few fun little objects in his hands.

When Rong Mu walked in, he happened to see Shang Cizhou half squatting up.

"Did you pick out anything fun?"

Shang Cizhou turned his head and said gently on his face, "Why are you here? Didn't Lang Xi say that you are tired, you should take a good rest—"

Rong Mu muttered: "Why am I so tired, the whole journey is in a carriage, and if I sleep again, I will be stupid."

Shang Cizhou walked over and rubbed his soft cheeks with his fingers, Lianyu put away the umbrella at the side, snorted proudly and stood outside the door.

"Ting Zhi, take a look at the things inside, do you like anything?"

Rong Mu glanced roughly: "It's okay, you can choose according to what you see, I came to you for a business."

Shang Cizhou: "What?"

Rong Mu: "You don't want me to go back to Nandai now. Brother Wang may not be fooled so easily. Tell the people at the gate of the city that if Brother Wang looks for me, don't stop him outside. If you are right He’s not good, I’m sure I’m going to turn my elbow in!”

Shang Cizhou's eyes moved: "That's natural."

Rong Mu sat down on a treasure chest next to him: "I really can't do anything with you two, I wish I could tear myself in half, give Nandai use one half, and keep the other half in Dashang."

Shang Cizhou's expression became much softer when he heard this: "Before you changed your mind, you definitely wanted to run to Nandai, but now that you can think like this, Gu's heart is extremely happy, and Ting Zhi must have moved Gu to his heart again."

Rong Mu crossed his arms and whispered, "I don't."

Shang Cizhou laughed and said, "You're lying again."

Rong Mu: "Believe it or not."

Shang Cizhou walked over and sat with him: "Gu still wanted to keep you in Dashang, you must be angry, so you rushed here to find some gadgets to curry favor with you."

Rong Mu looked at him: "I'm quite angry. Brother Wang worked so hard to bring me up. I have a deep attachment to Nan Dai. If it wasn't for autumn and winter, even if you forced me to stay, I would definitely return. Nandai to go."

"Now I'm thinking that I'll be fine for the time being, and I can't be too scumbag. I kissed you and turned my head back to my hometown ruthlessly... You and brother Wang really make me wonder what to do."

Shang Ci Zhou used to pick up the good ones and said, "Ting Zhi really cares about orphans."

Rong Mu kicked his toes: "I feel sorry for myself."

Shang Cizhou handed him the piccolo in his hand: "Ting Zhi, don't be angry, Nan Dai is very elegant, if you are in a bad mood, ask the musicians here to relieve your boredom."

Rong Mu played with the piccolo in his hand, and said: "Don't fight with brother Wang, I don't have anything on my mind."

"Of course it won't." Shang Cizhou smiled slightly, "I have even sent out all the guns, sincerity can be learned from heaven and earth."

Rong Mu glanced at him, brought the piccolo to his mouth and played a few notes.

Shang Cizhou: "It sounds good."

Rong Mu was helpless: "Have you heard clearly? It sounds good. You can blow it with your eyes closed. It looks just like Lianyu."

Shang Cizhou: "The people in Tingzhi are beautiful and kind, and they are proficient in folk art - didn't you call yourself an idiot before? The blood of the southern royal family is so pure, how can you be a person who is really ignorant?"

Rong Mu: "Stop it, just let me be an idiot. During the few months when I returned to Nandai, Brother Wang worked so hard and didn't ask me to do anything. Now you will come to me with political affairs and say, don't use these things in the future." Stuff bothers me."

"But Gu thinks that Ting Zhi's way of talking about political affairs is very novel, and there will always be some ideas that Gu is very interested in, and Gu likes to talk to you about these things." Shang Cizhou continued: "But if you are sleepy, we will Not to mention, the body is the most important."

Rong Mu looked sideways: "You seem to be very concerned about my body recently."

Shang Cizhou smiled: "From love comes worry, from love comes fear. The more I love you, the more worries I have in my heart. I'm afraid that Ting Zhi is not good, and I want you to be happy in everything."

Rong Mu thought to himself that you haven't seen my upgraded version yet, if you saw that you wouldn't be scared to death, when Lianyu saw it for the first time, she thought he had some serious illness.

But Shang Cizhou seemed a little too nervous, Rong Mu tapped his toes on the ground, and blew a short brisk note for him, the note flew out of Li Gongyuan, Lianyu stood outside the door and moved her fingers accordingly.

After a while, Rong Mu stopped and asked, "Does it sound good?"

Shang Cizhou: "It sounds good, very childlike."

Rong Mu couldn't help laughing, "Then what do you think is the name of this song?"

Shang Cizhou: "Gu can't figure it out, did Ting Zhi learn it during the years when Gu was not by his side?"

Rong Mu: "You are right, this tune is called Two Big Worms."

Shang Cizhou was slightly taken aback, it was rare for Rong Mu to tease him, he stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go."

The two went out one after the other, Lianyu's job of holding the umbrella was snatched by Shang Cizhou again, so he had to walk behind him sullenly and pinch his fingers, and then followed the emperor's servant from a distance to come forward at this meeting, all bent over Falling behind with a nodding waist.

When Rong Mu walked by by himself, there was still some noise in the Li Gongyuan, but with Shang Cizhe, the Li Gongyuan seemed to have turned into a cold palace, and there was no sound at all.

Shang Cizhou's expression was natural, but Rong Mu was about to turn his head to ask him how to deal with these musician slaves when he heard the sound of pearls and jade falling into the plate.

He stopped and looked towards the sound of the pipa, and saw a man with slender eyebrows and complex long braids behind his head sitting by the window. After seeing them, he slowly lowered his hand to pluck the strings.

Shang Cizhou frowned slightly, and the man saluted neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty is well."

Rong Mu: Oh hoo.

Lianyu: Oh hoo.

Shang Cizhou: "..."

Shang Cizhou turned around and wanted to leave, but Rong Mu looked at the man with interest and said, "Are you repeating the song I just said?"

The musician nodded: "Return to the nobleman's words, that's right."

Seeing his good looks, Rong Mu knew that he was a musician on the bright side, but secretly he might be a male pet reserve sent to him by those small countries who knew that Shang Cizhou didn't like women.

This person can be regarded as somewhat smart and courageous, Rong Mu looked at Shang Cizhou, Shang Cizhou's expression changed quickly and was very innocent: "Tingzhi, we are going back."

Zhong Ling secretly looked at the emperor, and Lianyu raised his eyebrows, thinking that this black lotus is really attracting bees and butterflies, let's see how he explains to his master.

"I don't know if the grass people are honored to play music for the nobles?" Zhong Ling said holding the pipa.

Under such circumstances, it would be really fatal for Shang Cizhou to speak, Rong Mu replied with a smile: "It's not easy to play music for His Majesty, are you sure you want to follow him?"

Zhong Ling: "It is the honor of the grassroots to play music for the emperor."

Shang Cizhou immediately said: "I don't need it."

Rong Mu didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and felt that this person had some talent for playing music, and the two big bugs in the pipa version were also quite unique, so he said amusedly: "If you want to follow, then follow." Staying here is also a waste of talent .

Zhong Ling was instantly delighted when he heard his words.

Shang Cizhou looked at Rong Mu suddenly, as if he was looking at some "heartbroker".

Zhong Ling knelt down and bowed, and happily walked back into the house, carrying the package that seemed to have been prepared a long time ago.

As soon as he came over, Shang Cizhou took a step forward, Zhong Ling was very "tactful", he glanced at the emperor again, and walked behind Rong Mu without a trace.

Lianyu: "...?"

This sudden subtle feeling of vying for the owner's favor.

Zhong Ling raised his eyes, looked at Rong Mu, and coughed slightly: "Cao Min just saw the nobleman passing by with an umbrella. Your life is really good, and your music theory is good. If you are not open-minded, it is difficult to play such a cheerful song."

Rong Mu also felt that something was not right, but he would not be able to express that subtle feeling for a while, he just wanted to follow him whenever he wanted, and it could also relieve boredom.

Shang Cizhou took a look at Zhong Ling, who smiled at him cautiously and politely, showing a look of admiration for His Majesty, but when he withdrew his eyes, from the corner of his eye, he saw that the musician immediately looked at Rong Mu, with a serious expression on his face. There was also a suspicious flush.

Shang Cizhou: "???"

Shang Cizhou: "..."
