Your Majesty's mind is too hard to guess

At the fourth watch, the maid on duty outside the door tiptoed in wearing her socks. She walked without even a breath of wind. When she saw Prince An sitting cross-legged on the couch, her eyes widened in fright, but she still suppressed the jump. With a scream at the mouth of the throat, he bowed respectfully facing the dragon bed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, wake up at dawn, take care of everything, work hard and love the people, don't forget it."

Zhou Xuan vaguely understood in his heart what kind of punishment is self-examination.

In the morning, he writes a theory on a topic selected by Zhou Ye, in the afternoon he practices according to the plan arranged by Li Xu, in the evening class he follows the scriptures sent by Xuan Yuchai to practice Taoism, and at night he curls up on a small couch and cannot sleep peacefully. The specification attendant wakes up.

On April [-]th of the third year of Renshun, the largest inner court banquet since the new emperor came to the throne was held in Jingren Palace. Zhou Xuan had never been in the circle of princes and aristocrats in Shengjing for ten years. , I was so happy that there was an official from the Ministry of Rites next to me who kept whispering.

Zhou Xuan greeted them one by one. Among the royal family, there is only one emperor's uncle Qi Wang Zhouling and one emperor's aunt, Princess Yilan. Dressed up to attend, not to mention the young women of marriageable age, all wearing rings and fragrant powder.

Zhou Xuan's good looks were confirmed by the Xuanwu Avenue. Many daughters present, regardless of their surname Zhou, couldn't help but stare at them a few times. I don't know who took the lead, and threw an embroidered forehead guard from a distance. Before the emperor's official arrival, the atmosphere in Jingren Palace climbed to a peak, very lively.

When Zhou Ye stepped into Jingren Palace, he saw this scene. Zhou Xuan took the forehead protector happily, bowed his hands and saluted, his tone was frivolous but not offensive, "Thank you, miss, for the reward."

There was no need to kneel and salute at the inner court banquet. When everyone saw the emperor coming, they bowed their hands and saluted. Zhou Xuan hurriedly put the forehead protector into his arms, and hurriedly lowered his head and sang: "Your Majesty, Sheng An."

Zhou Ye waved his hand, sat down on the main seat, and said: "The etiquette is all waived. Today is full moon and flowers are good. I am very happy to gather with you. You don't have to be cautious. Let's have a banquet."

"Banquet—" the chief servant yelled, and the inner court banquet officially began.

Throughout the year, the emperor's wine can be poured for only three days. On Longevity Festival, New Year's Eve, and inner court banquets, the relatives and relatives of the emperor dragged their families to the main seat to toast. There are two families, Zhou Xuan, Prince An, and Li Xu, the Northern Army.

Li Xu doesn't like Shengjing alcoholic beverages, and often dislikes it. Zhou Xuan is just the opposite. He loves the sweet and long-lasting Jiangnan tribute wine. The brothers and sisters exchanged cups and drank happily.

Gu Han was in his [-]th year, and she was also the direct daughter of Gu Cheng, the commander of the hussars in the Gyeonggi Battalion. The second uncle gave birth to three sons before he had a daughter. She was more precious than the eyeballs. Gu Han wore a water-red suit today. She wore a light gauze blouse, a pair of golden bell bracelets on her wrists, a little makeup, and stood in front of the emperor with a wine glass in her hands to say her congratulations.

There was a cinnabar mole on the forehead of Xiaonizi, and Zhou Xuan recognized it from his little cousin at a glance. The Wen Yu unique to Bailang City that he sent last time was tied with a red belt and hung on Xiaonizi's waist. .

Zhou Xuan bowed to Gu Cheng obediently, but the second uncle didn't appreciate it, so he snorted coldly and took the three cousins ​​to skip Zhou Xuan. Gu Han stomped his feet anxiously, and his voice couldn't help being three points higher: "Daddy, haven't you yet?" Honorable cousin!"

Gu Cheng has been in the military for many years, he was reluctant to reprimand Zhou Xuan, he glared fiercely at Zhou Xuan, did not lift his glass, but said in his mouth: "His Royal Highness Prince An has returned to Shengjing. Congratulations, I respect you."

Zhou Xuan lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Gu Cheng. He drank the wine in his glass and called out in a low voice, "Uncle."

Gu Cheng walks away.

The Ninth Five-Year Supreme is still by his side, but Gu Cheng has a temper, Zhou Ye's complexion darkens, and his iceberg aura instantly brightens.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhou Xuan lifted his robe and knelt down immediately. The bright purple prince's dress was too complicated, and the hem of the robe spread out like purple flowers blooming. Zhou Xuan kowtowed and confessed his crimes: "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down."

Jingren Palace was suddenly as quiet as stagnant water, no one knew what happened above, so they couldn't help being surprised.

Emperor Renshun got up to support Zhou Xuan, and said softly: "Brother Emperor, the grant of marriage should be divided. As I said, all family banquets will be exempted today. Brother Emperor deliberately made me slip of the tongue, and you will be punished."

"Oh——" Everyone made a meaningful sound of realization. Prince An was loved by the late emperor in the past. I didn't expect that the new emperor will love him so much now. He will help with major life affairs as soon as he comes back. Please give us such a good brother. a dozen.

The inner court banquet has returned to its pleasant and beautiful style, but there are many more people who privately inquire about when the young emperor will be drafted and given a marriage.

There are many people present in the Ministry of Rites and Yeting Palace, and they are all gratified. The co-authors should have welcomed Prince An back to the capital. His Majesty the Emperor finally decided to enter the palace by draft. Your Royal Highness, thousand years old, thousand years old.

Although Zhou Xuan couldn't guess what His Majesty was thinking, no matter how stupid Zhou Xuan was, he also knew that Zhou Ye was furious, and the hand that helped him up was strangled on his wrist like iron clamps, and it hurt.Zhou Xuan didn't dare to make any mistakes again, and he was a good wine commander with a strict eye. The opposite Li Shuai looked at him very familiarly, and he clearly said five big words: Zhou Xuan, you wait.

It was night, after the banquet in Jingren Palace, Zhou Xuan followed the emperor back to Dongnuan Pavilion, taking turns to bathe and change clothes as usual, the emperor first, the prince after.It was almost midnight when Zhou Xuan climbed onto the small couch and drank the hangover soup Wei Qing sent.

Rubbing the bruises on the wrist bones, Zhou Xuan sat cross-legged on the small couch, preparing to recite sutras for another night.

"Zhou Ruyi." Emperor Renshun's cold voice suddenly came from the tent of the dragon bed.

Zhou Xuan trembled all over, got up from the couch, forgot to put on his shoes, walked to the dragon bed one step at a time, lifted the mantle embroidered with five-claw golden dragon and auspicious cloud pattern on both sides, opened his fox eyes, and asked timidly: "What is His Majesty's order?"

Zhou Ye's face was as cold as ice, and his phoenix eyes shimmered: "Come up, I will make you kneel."

Zhou Xuan wanted to kneel in front of the bed, but as soon as his eyes touched His Majesty's cold face, he climbed onto the dragon bed in a mysterious manner. The dragon bed was too soft to maintain a kneeling position at all. Zhou Xuan knelt crookedly at the end of the bed, waiting for the next sentence—— I dare not say it, Zhou Ruyi shouted three words, it is absolutely impossible to kneel down and be good.

The years are quiet and peaceful, and the present world is stable——shit.

The emperor leaned against the head of the bed, flipping through the time books under the glazed light, with a concentrated expression, as if he had forgotten that there was Prince An kneeling at the end of the bed.Zhou Xuan knelt down and waited for an hour. Emperor Renshun finally put away the scroll and said lightly: "Come here, let me have a look."
