male concubine

"Lu Xi, did you find out about that eunuch last time?" Haotian asked

"Back to the emperor, the eunuch is called Xiao Xiazi. On the surface, he is a young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in fact he belongs to Concubine Li Gui." Lu Xi replied, "It's just that this eunuch has been missing for several days. Someone found him outside the palace a few days ago." dead body"

"Hmph, this Li Yan is really as cruel and ruthless as his brother, he already knows what it means to kill and silence." Haotian sneered.

"The emperor, what should we do next? Do we want to go to the Qingxu Temple and continue to investigate?" Lu Xi asked tentatively.

"No need, that Qingxu Temple is not an idle place, there are all kinds of refining things, I'm afraid I will startle the snake if I rush to check it now," Haotian analyzed

"Then... Is this the way to leave this matter? I'm afraid that Mr. Yehe will be wronged. I'm afraid it's inappropriate." This is naturally not Lu Xi's own idea. He followed the emperor since he was a child, Not only serving Haotian with him, but also being Haotian's number one eyes and ears, he can naturally guess Haotian's inner thoughts, but this time he helped the emperor express his inner thoughts.

"Of course we can't let it go like this. It's just that I can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. This Li Gui is not a man to be provoked. On the surface, he doesn't talk much in the court, but nearly half of the people in the court belong to him. People, don’t touch their brothers and sisters.” Haotian shook his head

"Lu Xi, is it my birthday at the beginning of next month?" Haotian suddenly asked

"Exactly, does the emperor have any special thoughts this year? Or is it the same as in previous years, entertaining ministers and ladies in the harem in the imperial garden?" Lu Xi said

"It's the same this year, but different, I want to kill Li Yan's arrogance." A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Haotian's mouth.

Time is always passing by in a hurry. Since Xiaosi came back, Yehe is no longer the same as before. He stays in the palace all day, goes out for a stroll from time to time, or reads some miscellaneous books to relieve boredom. , he doesn't care who it is, it's not that he doesn't know the tricks in the harem, and he doesn't want to pursue it, who knows how many people will be involved.As for that night, as a man, he didn't need to worry about anything, not to mention that he was his concubine in name, and Haotian also saved him, so why did he rush to make a scene of crying and fussing? He himself doesn't need to feel as much humiliation as a woman.

In a blink of an eye, it was Haotian's birthday. During the day, Haotian held a banquet for the foreign envoys who came to congratulate him, accompanied by several ministers. Regardless of singing, dancing and opera, the routine was the same without any change.

"My lord, in the evening, it is reasonable for anyone with a title in the harem to go to celebrate the emperor's birthday. It will be dark soon, so let's pack up too." Xiaosi said to Yehe.

"Forget it, I won't go. Although he is not the only one who has raised male pets since ancient times, it is still inappropriate for me to appear on such an occasion." Yehe sneered at himself.

"That's right, it's better for us not to go, lest there will be some troubles again." Since Xiaosi returned to the palace, he has heard about the affairs of the harem. While lamenting the cruelty and darkness of the harem, he is always helping Ye He avoids the scourges that come to him by himself.

In the back garden, the lights were bright, Haotian was sitting on a high platform, Li Yan and several other concubines were sitting on the left side of the platform, sitting in order according to rank, on the right side was the prime minister, and Li Gui was sitting in turn. A minister, Lu Xi stood behind Haotian, expressionless, an eunuch always helped Haotian hold the dishes, and another court lady kept pouring wine for Haotian. dance.

"Lu Xi, why didn't you see Yehe?" Haotian suddenly saw that the seat next to Li Yan was empty.

"Your Majesty, just now Young Master Yehe sent Xiaosi to say that Young Master is not feeling well and needs to rest in the palace." Lu Xi replied forward

"Hmph, not feeling well? I'm afraid you dare not come." Haotian sneered, "You go to the Mingyue Palace yourself and tell me my will. Even if Yehe dies, you have to carry it for me."

"Yes" Lu Xi smiled slightly, then backed out from the side

After Lu Xi left, Haotian took the jug from the hand of the maid, and began to pour the wine for himself, with a blank expression on his face

After a while, Lu Xi came with Yehe, and Yehe was wearing a light blue dress with a white spun gauze outside, looking a little more unapproachable from a distance.

"See Your Majesty" Yehe was expressionless

"Lu Xi said that you are not feeling well, how is it? Do you need to call the imperial doctor to see?" Haotian asked

"Thank you for the emperor's concern. It's not a serious problem. I just rested for a while, and I'm much better." Yehe's reply intentionally distanced the relationship between them.

"It's fine, just take your seat." Yehe's behavior made Haotian very uncomfortable

The ministers on the side drank and enjoyed singing and dancing on their own. Don’t watch things you shouldn’t see, let alone take care of them. This is the majesty and rules of the royal family.

Ye He and Xiao Si walked over and sat next to Li Yan, and Xiao Si stood behind Ye He. Li Yan glanced at Ye He, gave Ye He a supercilious look, and said in a low voice, "Some people are just different. You’re not a queen, why are you acting like a queen?”

Li Yan's voice was very low, only Ye He and Xiao Si heard it, Ye He didn't care, took a glass of wine and poured it down his throat, although the prescription was not too high, it was so urgent, it was somewhat spicy, Ye He frowned slightly He frowned, and slapped back slightly, stopping Xiaosi who wanted to explode.

"Your Majesty, I have obtained a pair of ivory chopsticks, which is extremely rare. I present them to the Emperor to share my thoughts with you. I wish you a long life." The prime minister presented a pair of ivory chopsticks

Your majesty, this is the sacred fruit of the Western Regions, this is the deep sea pearl of the East Sea, this is the snow fox fur of Tianshan Mountain, the ministers and several concubines all presented their congratulatory gifts, all of which are rare treasures

"Your majesty, my concubine heard that you haven't been sleeping well recently, so I specially asked someone to make a medicine pillow for the emperor to help him sleep," Li Yan said.Take a closer look at that pillow, the silk and satin are extraordinary, extraordinarily shiny and smooth under the light, on it is embroidery made of extremely tiny gold threads, a few dragons circle and intertwine, and on both sides of the pillow there are a few tiny night pearls, emitting a faint glow. Although this is just an extremely ordinary pillow, it surprised everyone present. Those who have the strength to do all of this, I am afraid that they will be freed from the Li family.

"My concubine has a heart." Haotian squeezed out a smile

"The emperor seldom comes to the harem, but since the young master Yehe entered the palace, the emperor has not rarely visited the young master Yehe."This statement is indeed true, Haotian often goes to Mingyue Palace, Yehe ignores him all day long, Haotian sits for a while, or eats with Yehe, it is indeed more frequent.Li Yan continued to say strangely, "It can be seen how much the emperor dotes on the young master. Today, the emperor's birthday, the congratulatory gift of the young master is naturally different from ours. Why don't you show it and let us all open our eyes?"

"Yeah, let's open our eyes!" Everyone booed

Yehe lowered his head, he didn't prepare any congratulatory gifts, he didn't care whether he would send them or not, since he came to the palace, it was nothing more than a small monthly schedule, and he distributed it to Wenzhu and Wenlan, Those precious and rare treasures before were also given to him by Haotian, so there is no reason to return these things.

"I..." Yehe was speechless.

"Ah!" Li Yan exclaimed exaggeratedly, "You are not unprepared, are you?"

Jeho sat there unable to speak a word

"Why not, didn't Yehe entrust you with some spices the previous month? Why did you forget?" Haotian suddenly spoke, slightly angry.

Li Yan's face turned pale, and she replied with a trembling voice, "Yes. I....I actually forgot." Li Yan stepped back, sat on her seat, her face was pale, and she didn't say a word.

Yehe raised his head and glanced at Haotian, Haotian's face was terribly cold.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Gui and the others were already slightly drunk, and their words became more and more wanton.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been a common thing to have male favorites in this harem, but none of them have titles. The fear is to disturb the imperial court. This Yehe can't help but have a title, and it is probably inappropriate to participate in such gatherings." Li Gui Stimulated by the alcohol and the Emperor's fear, he started talking nonsense.

Yehe smiled slightly, he had already guessed the result, and sat drinking with a blank face

Haotian glanced at Ye He who was drinking, and then gave Li Gui a sharp look, "Master Li is very concerned about the affairs of my harem? Do you want the head of the House of Internal Affairs to sit here instead?"

Li Gui, who suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, fell to his knees with a plop, "My minister made a mistake, please punish me by the emperor."

Yehe remained expressionless, as if what had happened had nothing to do with him.

"Get up, all of you here are important ministers in the court, you must understand what you should do and what you should not do. If you do something you shouldn't do, you will have to pay the price, right? Master Li" Haotian said loudly

"Yes, yes, your majesty is holy." Li Guijiu was more than half awake and leaned over to answer

Li Yan, who was pale, wondered, his brother was from the military camp, how could this cause his brother to slip up in public?

As everyone knows, in the palace, even if you want to be sober and the emperor wants you to be drunk, you are destined not to be sober, then Lu Xi has already added something to Li Gui's drink, a few glasses of wine are enough to make Li Gui talk nonsense , and then Haotian gave the two sisters a wake-up call so that they would not be more presumptuous.

After the banquet, Yeho lay on the couch

"My lord, the emperor vented his anger on you today." Xiao Si said a little happily

"Oh? Is there?" Yehe was surprised

"My lord, if the emperor hadn't played tricks, how could that Li Gui get drunk? As a general, how could Li Gui have a few drinks to get drunk?" Xiaosi explained

"Maybe." Yehe smiled.

"Xiaosi, do you think I'm particularly shameless?" Yehe asked suddenly

"Young master, why do you have such an idea?"

"As the prince of Yesa, my throne was usurped by traitors, but I have become someone else's male favorite, lying under someone else's body for pleasure. Isn't that cheap or something?" Yehe smiled wryly.

"My lord, don't think too much. There are many things that cannot be changed. Who can change what is predestined? We can only choose to face it calmly." Xiaosi comforted

"Yeah, it's destined" Yehe repeated in a low voice, walking towards the bedroom alone.

In life, unsatisfactory things happen nine times out of ten. When we think we have changed our destiny, we don’t know that we have never escaped from the track of destiny. Everything has already been doomed. When you think you have changed your destiny, in fact you are Follow the fate, who can escape the fate of fate?
