Chapter 12 Moonlight May Be Frost on the Ground
"Master Gu?"
Song Xinrui's voice came from behind, "Why did we stop?"
Since he spoke, the voice behind the mountain stopped abruptly. Gu Jingyuan knew that the two people were still there, but he just took it for something. Did not hear the general continue to move forward.
He said: "It's nothing."
Although, those two voices were indeed extremely presumptuous, and the volume became louder and louder, and Song Xinrui, who approached later, also heard some.
Song Xinrui couldn't see the expression of Gu Jingyuan who was walking in front, but she still couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for him.
... Everyone in the world says that Mr. Gu was able to win His Majesty's exclusive favor because his appearance is very similar to the white moonlight in His Majesty's heart.
And because maybe the meat in other people's bowls is more fragrant, and the moon in other people's homes is rounder, maybe it's because of His Majesty's preference, Dayi, from the imperial court to the common people, likes to praise the appearance of the little prince of Beirong value.
What's more, the folks even made up nursery rhymes, praising that person's beauty.
It's just that Song Xinrui felt that to say that Mr. Gu was the substitute of that person was really humiliating Mr. Gu.
He didn't believe that the little prince could really match Mr. Gu's demeanor.
It's just His Majesty...
who knows what His Majesty thinks?
Ugh.
That's why Song Xinrui felt from the bottom of his heart that those chattering voices were disgusting.
——With Mr. Gu's strength of character, why do you need to imitate others?
Song Xinrui felt unilaterally that being favored by the Holy One would not be just because of a face.
If it's just the appearance, isn't there still a Mr. Dong in the harem? Why didn't His Majesty speak more words to him.
Thinking of this, Song Xinrui was also very angry.
But in order not to embarrass Gu Jingyuan, he didn't explode on the spot to confront the people behind the rockery. He just yelled loudly on purpose to stop them from discussing any further, so as not to pollute their ears.
After the two left the garden and their ears were cleared, Song Xinrui really wanted to persuade Gu Jingyuan to stop taking those villainous words to heart.
But thinking that Mr. Gu probably didn't know that he had heard that discussion...under entanglement, Song Xinrui still chose not to say anything.
Although he still didn't want Mr. Gu to be affected by this incident.
...I can't say why I care so much about the other party's feelings.
He just felt that someone as beautiful and beautiful as Mr. Gu should not be insulted like this.
Thinking of this, Song Xinrui took a few steps and caught up with Gu Jingyuan.
He carefully watched the other party's expression, and saw that the other party's expression was as usual, but his eyes were restrained but deep and firm, so he was relieved.
But who would have thought that Gu Jingyuan said at this time: "Master Song has heard it?" White gave birth to a bit of beauty. Realizing that she was obsessed with watching, Song Xinrui hurriedly looked away, not daring to look any more.
My heart was shaken, Lord Xiao Song couldn't hold back, and asked: "Based on my temperament, I can be counted as a person with clear love and hatred, and a strong nature, but you have to be more restrained. So you, my lord... Why don't you go hunting with His Majesty?..."
Actually, Song Xinrui originally wanted to ask why a person with such a personality and talent like Your Majesty would follow His Majesty in the end, willing to be what he called a pretentious minister and suffer this humiliation?
Not only him, in fact, many people want to know the answer to this question.
But Song Xinrui still remembered that they were not familiar with each other.
He shouldn't ask such a private question, and he dare not ask it.
So I asked such a... boring question as soon as I changed my mouth.
But even so, Gu Jingyuan answered seriously.
He said: "Because I don't like it."
"..."
...What don't you like?
Don't like riding a horse, or don't like to imitate the light in His Majesty's heart?
Or do you like neither?
Song Xinrui fell into confusion.
He changed his mind and thought again: If you don't even do what you don't like, does it mean that you will do what you like without hesitation? ...
No wonder, everyone said that Mr. Gu loves His Majesty very much.
...
After the two walked away, the tongue-twisting person who had been hiding behind the rockery gradually poked his head out to check the situation.
"I was scared to death, I thought he would come over!" Dong Chen said, patting his chest.
That's right, it was Dong Chen and his maid Hongying who were hiding in the garden talking about Gu Jingyuan.
Autumn hunting is a very important event for Dayi Dynasty, and the harem also needs to participate.
But Emperor Yuwen's harem was empty, and the only ones who could attend this feast were the concubines headed by the empress dowager, so Dong Chen went to the empress dowager to ask for an order, and followed them.
It's just that even though he came out, it was just a chance to see the scenery outside.
On His Majesty's side, it's hard for him to see him.
——On the way, the emperor rode his horse in front of him, but because he didn't know how to ride a horse, he could only sit in the carriage and had no chance to get close to the emperor.
This made Dong Chen resentful for no reason.
There was resentment in his heart but he didn't dare to blame the emperor, and it was just right for the injury he suffered from the rod punishment some time ago, so Dong Chen put all these accounts on Gu Jingyuan's head.
He now hates Gu Jingyuan to the bone.
But hate has no way to retaliate, so it can only quietly say a few bitter words in this garden, and also belittle that superior Mr. Gu.
Only in this way can he feel better.
"You're so promising?"
A disdainful voice suddenly sounded from behind. Dong Chen's mood had just calmed down a bit, but he was startled by the sudden voice, and almost didn't cry out.
After turning around to see who was coming, he let go of his heart, not only that, but also changed a face of apologetic smile, and softly called: "Who am I, isn't this Mr. Gu?" The eldest son is polite, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Long Yanzhao came back from hunting and it was getting dark, a bonfire was lit outside the palace, and the inside of the palace was also brightly lit, singing and dancing.
There are no kings and grandchildren on hunting days, only monarchs and ministers are of one mind.
It is a rare moment when the monarch and his subjects are so relaxed. Here, there is no need to be as serious as in the palace, nor as rigid as in the court. Most of the courtiers are talking and drinking, and most of them praise their young and promising emperor.
This time I went out to catch a lot of prey. Most of the people there lived by herding sheep and horses, and he was used to being free and unrestrained. Today's horse racing and hunting, riding the horse and whipping the whip, really made Long Yanzhao miss the previous period. ...Maybe people are so strange. Many times, the moment that makes people feel miserable, looking back many years later, the taste turns into sweetness. Long Yanzhao just felt a kind of sweetness. The feeling of nostalgia but no memory forced him to search among the officials below, and finally stopped on a touch of red. The search process was not very long. Because of Gu Jingyuan's out-of-this-world temperament and outstanding appearance, it is easy for people to see him wherever he sits.
The emperor was brave, not only participated in the whole process, but also won the first prize.
"Young majesty is a talented young man, brave and fearless, it is a great fortune." Right Prime Minister Yang Youwei spoke first.
Soon other courtiers joined in: "Your majesty is young and promising, and he is no better than the first emperor and the previous emperor. It is really a blessing for the country, the community, and the people!"
Everyone discussed, and many old ministers were really full of enthusiasm. Fortunately, Prime Minister Zuo and the Regent sitting on the left and right sides of the emperor's hands, and the queen mother who was sitting not far behind the emperor with a curtain all looked expressionless.
——Your Majesty's growth rate is indeed fast.
It's getting to the point where it's scary.
In the peaceful scene of silk and bamboo singing and dancing, Long Yanzhao took another sip of wine.
He is in a good mood today.
Trapped in the palace walls of red bricks and rubble for a long time, there will be some feeling of being restrained.
What's more, before returning to the palace to be the emperor, Long Yanzhao had always lived in the north.
The dancing maid in light-colored clothes waved her long sleeves, light green veils flowed over, and the face of the young man sitting there was like a crown of jade, like a jar of old wine, clean and pure, and so mellow and strong that it was intoxicating .
Almost when he saw the other party's incomparably handsome face, Long Yanzhao suddenly felt his blood surge.
Today he drank deer blood wine.
But when all the serving servants left Yuyue, the next moment, Gu Jingyuan was grabbed by the waist by a strong force, and he was pressed hard on the couch.
…
Maybe it’s not the same after letting the wind go, hunting, and drinking a lot of stag blood wine.
At this moment, His Majesty exuded a...surging and fiery wild aura.
The other party was sweating.
Hot sweat mixed with the smell of ambergris, spreading in the world where only two people are.
At this time, Long Yanzhao gave people the impression that he was very similar to a kind of wild wolf unique to the north.
When showing off your masculinity to your heart's content, you may fly forward at any time, press your favorite target on the ground, and attack the city.
...
Deer blood is hot, so I shouldn't drink too much.
But Long Yanzhao couldn't help it, and drank one cup after another.
When the banquet was over, Emperor Yuwen waved his hand and asked Gu Jingyuan to help him go back to rest.
This scene is not unfamiliar to everyone. Everyone watched their noses, noses and hearts, and retreated silently.
But for Gu Jingyuan, it was the first time he faced His Majesty who was so drunk.
...just drunk.
Long Yanzhao felt hot all over.
Through the clothes, Gu Jingyuan was burned.
Fortunately, His Majesty is still awake at this time.
... When Gu Jingyuan and Eunuch Hong helped His Majesty back to the room, Long Yanzhao still knew that he had to push back the left and right.
somewhat dangerous.
Such thoughts popped up in his mind, and then a sense of crisis spread from the tailbone, Gu Jingyuan was so excited that he shivered.
... The sense of crisis will excite him.
When feeling excited, Gu Jingyuan couldn't help but tremble and tremble all over.
He was even attracted by that smell, and while being overwhelmed by shame, shame and embarrassment, he couldn't help but look forward to Long Yanzhao's approach.
Even though he hadn't expected what kind of waves would hit the sand bank and the squalling rain would greet him next.
