The next day, the wind was light and the clouds were light, and the blue sky was like washing.

In Ning Xin Hall, it got busy early in the morning. Dozens of court ladies and eunuchs were waiting outside the hall, holding clothes and accessories, and entered one by one.

He is dressed in a vermilion-colored imperial robe, embroidered with the image of a dragon rising from the sea, solemn and gorgeous, wearing a crown on his head, a brocade belt around his waist, wide hem, and wide sleeves facing the wind.

It took about half an hour to finish washing and dressing.

Looking at the handsome and noble young man in the mirror, Gu Mingzheng nodded slightly. After getting used to watching, the discomfort he felt when he first arrived disappeared without a trace, replaced by a natural majesty and arrogance.

As if he was really the supreme emperor of the Dai Viet Dynasty.

Ji An bowed his head and said respectfully: "All the officials are in place, please go to the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Your Majesty."

"Ah."

Worshiping the sky is a very boring process. According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, it will take a whole morning here.After the sacrifice to heaven is over, there is really a festive atmosphere.

Today, the whole city rests, including the palace. In the afternoon, everyone can go to the imperial garden to enjoy the lanterns and flowers, learn how to make lanterns, and choose a lantern they like there, write down their prayers, or let it fly in the sky, or wave away.

The Empress Dowager specially granted permission to open the Taihe Garden today. There will be opera troupes singing throughout the day. Anyone who wants to go can go to listen to the opera, but there is a distinction between the upper and lower places, so that the little eunuchs and maids will not bump into the nobles.

For the people in the deep palace, the day of Qi'an Festival can be said to be the most lively and free time in the palace.

Of course, for Gu Mingzheng, there is only one word - annoying.

As a role model for the world, the emperor's every move is infinitely magnified in the eyes of others. Anyone can be lazy, but he is like a spinning top that keeps spinning and can't stop for a moment.

Gu Mingzheng is not a person who is afraid of suffering, but standing alone under the dazzling sun and listening to long and meaningless sacrificial speeches, he is really stupid and stupid, all officials can kneel and bow their heads, but he can only hold one face paralyzed face, dizzy from the sun,

It was rare for Little Wing to see him being forced to be stupid, and he laughed wildly beside him, "Oh, Your Majesty, do you want this system to cover you from the sun or something?"

Gu Mingzheng said: "No need."

Although irritable, this is the duty of the emperor, and he will definitely do what he should do, so as not to engage in these petty tricks.

"..." Little Wing sighed, except in front of the little beauty, his host was really good at handling it at other times.

After nearly two hours, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven ended.At that time, Gu Mingzheng's mood was extremely bad.

All the officials retreated in an orderly manner and went to the Taihe Garden to attend the palace banquet.

But Ji An stepped forward and reminded: "Your Majesty, next, you should go to pick up the person who prayed for peace, and together with her, place prayer lamps everywhere in the palace to get rid of the old bad luck and spread blessings."

Gu Mingzheng was cold, and said expressionlessly: "I know."

This custom is quite retarded.

Xu Shi knew that the emperor was not in high spirits, so everyone followed the emperor cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

The Luanjia that the emperor was riding on was parked aside, and Gu Mingzheng sat on it, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

After a while, Ji An's voice was heard again: "Your Majesty, here—hiss!"

I don't know what I saw, but Ji An's originally steady tone suddenly turned a corner, and he gasped.

Gu Mingzheng opened his eyes, and saw two rows of maids branching out, standing on both sides, and then, a tall and slender figure walked out of the hall slowly.

The crimson palace attire, gorgeous and gorgeous, is as long as the floor, dragging out a meandering arc, like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly.

Her jet-black long hair was half up and half down, and the pearl and jade headdress glistened in the sun.

The light veil covering the face with the headdress covered her face, only a pair of peach blossom-shaped eyes were exposed outside, seeming affectionate and ruthless.

"She" was dressed extremely beautifully, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But Ji An was surprised - is General Meng so tall?

This person, at first glance, is not General Meng!

Others did not realize that something was wrong. Before that, the draft event had blurred the vision of many people. Most people did not know who the Empress Dowager chose to pray for peace. Even if Meng Lingqiu was taken into the palace, there were still many noble The woman was taken into the palace.

Only a few people know.

This is also the reason why Gu Mingzheng asked Meng Lingqiu to find someone to pretend to be her.

However... Gu Mingzheng still miscalculated.

Just as Ji An was hesitating, he saw that the young emperor had strode down from the Luanjia. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that His Majesty's footsteps were a little hurried, which was completely different from the previous indifferent posture.

Gu Mingzheng stood in front of the "woman" dressed in palace attire, and there seemed to be a huge wave in his usually calm eyes. It was a look that seemed to be pleasantly surprised and frightened, and even a little frightened and angry.

"You—" Gu Mingzheng experienced for the first time what it was like to be tongue-tied.

Even if other people can't recognize him, he only needs to know at a glance that this person is Xie Anlan, his daring Young Lord Xie!

Xie Anlan said nothing, just looked at him with a pair of beautiful and innocent eyes.

"..."

Under such gaze, no one can harden their hearts, even Gu Mingzheng can only back down.

The atmosphere was extremely delicate for a while.

Everyone was guessing who the empress dowager chose to pray for peace, and even His Majesty lost his composure when he saw it.

They came and went in the palace, and they had never seen any noble lady with such a temperament, standing beside His Majesty, she was not deprived of half of her brilliance, even worse.

"...Your Majesty, I'm convinced of your little beauty!" Little Wing lay on the Luanjia, throwing a "drooling" emoticon pack, "It's amazing to dress up as a man! I have to take a picture as a souvenir."

And there is no stage fright in front of so many people, worthy of the actor.

"No filming." Gu Mingzheng gritted his teeth a bit.

"Don't be so stingy," Little Wing discussed in a low voice, "You'll get half of the photos."

Gu Mingzheng said coldly: "No."

Everyone is his, and he can look at whatever he wants, so what are a few photos?

Little Wing sent him a "heart hurts" emoji with great regret!

Gu Mingzheng ignored it, and stretched out his hand to Xie Anlan under the eyes of everyone.

Xie Anlan blinked her eyes, put her hand on his palm, let him lead her, and sat in the Luanjia with him.

"Xie Anlan!" After sitting in the Luanjia, Gu Mingzheng couldn't help pinching his wrist, and his voice was full of lingering anger, "You are so courageous."

"This is a surprise I prepared for His Majesty," Xie Anlan said with a light smile, "Doesn't Your Majesty like it?"

The light in his eyes flickered, and the veil fluttered, it was almost deliberate to seduce people.

"Surprise? It disappeared for three days, and it looked like this when it appeared. Aren't you going to give me an explanation?" Gu Mingzheng pulled him closer, suddenly raised his voice, and ordered: "I won't go to the Taihe Garden, lunch It is used in Ningxin Hall."

Ji An's response came from outside Luanjia: "Yes, my servant complies."

Gu Mingzheng raised his hand to caress Xie Anlan's cheek, but he didn't take off the thin veil.

Xie Anlan pushed him away, sat up straight, and hummed softly, "I'm hungry."

The implication is clear - no need to explain.

Gu Mingzheng is not in a hurry, anyway, he has plenty of time to spend slowly with him.

Luanjia stopped at Ningxin Hall, where lunch had been set up in advance, Ji An prepared everything, closed the door wisely, and led everyone back outside.

Xie Anlan took the place of Meng Lingqiu's makeup all morning, and she was so hungry that she walked to the dining table.

Gu Mingzheng grabbed him and pushed him against the door.

Xie Anlan looked at him without time, let him move, and said with a calm smile: "So His Majesty misses me so much?"

Gu Mingzheng raised his hand to tear off the veil from his face, and the whole Ningxin Hall seemed to be lit up.

Xie Anlan's appearance is very good, not rough, not feminine, handsome in men's clothes, stunning in women's clothes, it is probably his appearance.

Gu Mingzheng slowly stroked his delicate eyebrows, his jade-like face, and then his rosy lips, his eyes gradually deepened.

Xie Anlan raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked naturally, "Am I pretty?"

"I've never met anyone more beautiful than you."

Xie Anlan turned around suddenly, held him back, and snorted coldly, "Then why don't you kiss me?"

"You want to use this again to avoid explanation? An Lan, isn't this..."

Before Gu Mingzheng finished speaking, Xie Anlan bowed his head and kissed her.

In the Hall of Ning Xin, one could hear the quiet needle drop, only the rapid breathing and heartbeat of the two could be heard, which lasted for a long time.

"Explain, explain, how can there be so many explanations?" Xie Anlan pushed him to the ground, straddled him, looked down at him condescendingly with picturesque eyebrows, a few strands of long black hair fell down, rubbing Gu Mingzheng's cheeks slightly itchy , "If Your Majesty asks again, believe it or not, I will prevent you from going to the Lantern Prayer Ceremony?"

Gu Mingzheng was startled, and said with great interest: "Young Master Xie, do you want to rebel?"

"I thought it was interesting to rebel, but His Majesty made me discover something more interesting." Xie Anlan spread out his long clothes, almost covering both of them. The knife flew over from the air, was held in his hand, and gently brushed against Gu Mingzheng's neck.Then, I heard him say in an indifferent tone: "Look, Your Majesty, if I wanted to rebel, I would have done it long ago. Many things in this world are not worth cherishing if they are within reach."

Gu Mingzheng faintly felt that his state was not right.

Something more than usual... dangerous.

"Then what does An Lan want to do?" Gu Mingzheng asked him with a smile that was not a smile, having seen many storms and waves.

"Guess." Xie Anlan threw the knife on the ground casually, leaned over and bit his neck, this bite was extremely hard, and soon tasted blood in his mouth.

Some pain, some itching.

Gu Mingzheng's eyebrows twitched, and he said calmly, "An Lan, I have to go out later."

Xie Anlan raised her head, looked at him for a while, then returned to her usual appearance, gently wiped away a trace of blood on his neck with her fingertips, and said with a smile: "So, Your Majesty, before you tease others at will, Always think about the consequences, and if the consequences are unacceptable to you, it’s best not to start.”

After finishing speaking, Xie Anlan got up slowly, gave him a hand by the way, sat down at the dining table, brought several dishes to her, and hummed softly: "Next time, don't you dare to let me play with you hungry? , I won't let you go so easily."

Gu Mingzheng touched the imprint on his neck, feeling very complicated for a while.

He just reminded him not to make too deep marks, did he say that it was unacceptable?
