Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

On the third day of the first winter month, there was a thin snowfall in the capital, and a pot was added to the lunch palace. Seeing that the staple food was new rice from Yutian, he felt that it was dry and tasteless. He asked Li He to scoop it into the rice. He took a spoonful of soup and mixed some vegetables before he ate a whole bowl.

"Is there any report on the locust plague?" Bi Xin took a sip of the tea cup and rinsed his mouth, as if asking casually.

"Going back to the emperor, not at all, it's still a copy from the previous son." Li He replied.

A look of disappointment flashed in Bi Xin's eyes, and he said: "It should be soon after the calculation, I don't know him, I don't know how he is doing?"

"Prince Xuan's affairs are naturally safe. During this period of time, the affairs in the palace are also in order. The official business before the prince's departure from Beijing has now been completed. Du Pin also went to the palace today to report the internal affairs. It was Ningfei who personally intervened. Everything is fine." Li He said one by one.

Bi Xin nodded slightly, he cleaned his hands, and entered the inner hall to take a lunch break.The palace people knew that he was not allowed to enter the palace to serve and rest without a summons, so they all quietly withdrew from the palace.

Bi Xin had already taken off his outer robe, and a charcoal basin was burned in the hall, and the dots of fire made crackling sounds.Bi Xin sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking the brocade mattress beside the bed with his hands, it was smooth and soft, but a little less warm.He reached out his hand to feel under the pillow, and touched the warm jade with his fingers. He played with it a little greedily, but he didn't take it out, but rubbed and stroked the jade pendant repeatedly with his hands through the pillow, becoming more and more crazy Get this comfortable texture.The smooth jade made him feel as if it had scratched a person's smooth and tender skin, with a greasy taste in his bones.

Bi Xin's heartbeat began to speed up with the sliding of his fingers, he swallowed, and felt his back start to itch, his chest was very frizzy, and his face began to feel a little hot.He secretly reprimanded himself for being so restless before sleeping.He took a deep breath, pulled his hand out from under the pillow, walked to the desk, put his hands on the edge of the table, and forced himself to calm down.

Bi Xin stroked the dark lines of the desk with his hands, and slowly found the drawer. He pulled out the grid and took out a letter from it.The letters had already been put into an envelope, but they hadn't been signed. He touched the letter and opened it again, but he closed the letter paper again when he saw "My brother, is it?"

It's better not to send it out.Bi Xin thought in his heart that it was too much to write a letter to say hello, but he hadn't seen him for a few days and only approved Yizhou Jin's paperwork the day before yesterday. He would definitely not be very happy to write any more letters now.

Although Bi Xin is in the palace, since he took charge of the government, he has set up many spies in the capital to listen to the former officials and the public opinion of the market.The founding of our dynasty has gone through several generations of emperors. The country has been stable for many years, and the style of literati prevails.Therefore, it is common to talk about official and royal secrets in the public. Since Bi Xin was born, the public opinion on him has never stopped, but he was only a prince in the past. He did not know many things in the deep palace, but when Bi Xin ascended the throne After that, many rumors entered his ears.

In fact, he doesn't care about some rumors about him and Liufu.What Bi Xin really cares about is those who take advantage of this to slander Liufu and act carelessly, saying that he is too weak to bear the responsibility, and even use the words of the former emperor and noble concubine to bite Liufu.

Obviously Liu Fu is not that kind of person.

Fortunately, the people who work in Liufu's mansion are still experienced. Liufu may be taught by them or he wants to be stronger. The older he is, the less he likes to get too close to him, and he always wants to make a career out of him.Bi Xin understood his ambition, but couldn't help but worry about him and miss him.

Thinking of this, he guessed that Liu Fu probably didn't eat well, and always liked to eat some snacks before meals.If he sent the letter to Liu Fu, Liu Fu would think he was long-winded again.

But what about being a brother who is a bit long-winded?

He knew that he and Liufu were not the same teenagers as before, and he was afraid of many burdens that fell overnight, but because he still had Liufu to protect him, he didn't dare to be afraid, dare not cry, dare not fall down, but just stood up with.Sometimes he is majestic and sometimes generous, and others can't figure out his nature.In fact, it's just that he also panics sometimes, and many times he doesn't know whether the decision is right or wrong, so he just forces himself to make a decision.

In many cases, those things he does not want to do from the bottom of his heart.But considering the overall situation of the country, he has to make some decisions that are even creepy.But what if he doesn't?Liu Fu probably went to some fiefdom and will never see each other again in this life. He might be a puppet of a family of powerful ministers, following the same steps. If so, he would have no choice.

Bi Xin stuffed the letter back into the drawer, and the fire on his body was extinguished, and he finally lay back on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

He didn't sleep well, and soon woke up. Concubine Rong came to greet her outside. He didn't really want to see her, but he hadn't seen her for a long time, and it wouldn't be good to drive her away, so he could only wave his hand to let Concubine Rong come in and talk.

He half leaned on the bed, just woke up and couldn't remember what dream he just had, and felt hot and unbearable.He asked Li He to move the charcoal basin away quickly.

Rou Yan wore a plum blossom cage smoke skirt that dragged the floor, and a brocade fur cloak over it, with a slender waist and boneless.Rou Yan entered the hall to salute and greet, Bi Xin wrapped the quilt around her body to cover half of her body.Bi Xinci sat down, and Li He took a round stool and put it on the head of the bed.

Rou Yan thanked her with a smile, and said as she sat, "Your Majesty, it's really warm." After saying that, she took off the cloak and gave it to Li He. The curtains on the bed frame were lowered, and everyone was led out.

Bi Xin wondered why it suddenly became dark. The Babu bed was originally a small room, so it was a small dark and quiet space.

Rou Yan got up and sat on the side of the bed, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I haven't come to see my concubine for a while. I have no choice but to come here to pay my respects."

Bi Xin felt ashamed and annoyed when he saw such a posture, but he couldn't get up and call someone. After all, he pretended to love Concubine Rong. Wouldn't it be a waste of previous efforts to ask someone to drag her out now? ?What's more terrible is that I just woke up, my body is as hot as a fire, I can't leave the quilt in this state, the thin pajamas can't cover anything at all.

Bi Xin moved back a little embarrassed and said: "I haven't seen you for a while. But I will be busy with some papers later, so I should leave early if I have nothing to do."

Rou Yan smiled even more charmingly, removed a few hairpins and put them on the small table beside her, then knelt down on the bed and climbed a few more steps, leaned close to her and spitting out orchid incense and said: "Your Majesty hasn't called your concubines to bed for a long time. , the concubine wants to serve the emperor well."

Bi Xin's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he said: "If so, I will turn my cards on my own, and I don't need you to decide for me."

After hearing this, Rou Yan withdrew a little, with tears in her eyes, she said shyly: "Every time the emperor summons his concubines, he just asks them to recite "Rules for Women" at the side. It is true that concubines are not good at serving, but Your Majesty You should also give the concubine a chance, the concubine will not let the emperor down."

Seeing that she retreated a little, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Although Bi Xin didn't care much about Rou Yan, but he cared about the Yi family and always showed her great favor.Moreover, Rouyan has indeed restrained herself a lot during this period of time, she behaves in a humble and low-key manner, and she is less disgusted with her.

Seeing her crying, Bi Xin felt a little soft-hearted. After all, Rou Yan did not do anything out of bounds. With her background, it is reasonable to have such a heart.

Bi Xin sighed and said: "I'm a little tired, please squeeze my shoulders... No, just squeeze my legs." Bi Xin thought of the pure concubine back then, but she only asked her to squeeze his shoulders and scratched his neck , and because of this matter, Liu Fu also got angry with himself.

Bi Xin thought that when Liu Fu was a child, every time he got angry, he had to act like he was okay and didn't care at all, and then secretly tripped him, and finally never admitted that he was playing his temper, and had to coax him to be good.

Bi Xin couldn't hold back a chuckle, Rou Yan quickly stopped her tears when she saw this, lifted a corner of the brocade quilt, and stretched out her hand to gently rub Bi Xin's calf.

"The emperor closes his eyes, and this concubine will relax for you."

Bi Xin closed his eyes, as if Liu Fu was talking and joking with him by his side, the touch on his legs reminded him of the past when the two of them stretched their legs and stretched their muscles on the bed, and they would not stop until both of them screamed.Liu Fu's slightly sweating body was a little hot, and a little bit of warm sweat was stained on his pajamas. When his limbs moved, there was a faint scent of milk.

A corner of Liufu's clothes was spread out, and a red mark appeared and disappeared on the white collarbone, which was the mark left by Bi Xin when he played with him just now.Bi Xin wanted to lift the skirt of his shirt to see if the red mark had hurt him. If not, he wanted to get another one, preferably on his neck. Every time he spoke, his Adam's apple rolled. You can see the red.

Liu Fu smiled and hugged his leg to help him rub the painful tendon just now, from calf to thigh.Bi Xin felt as uncomfortable as if his body was being roasted on fire, especially his thighs, his whole body was numb from the heat.Bi Xin panted heavily, feeling that Liufu's hand was protruding towards that forbidden place, Bi Xin's teeth were trembling, and he said weakly: "No, no..." But his body became more stiff, and his heavy panting and breathing With confusion in the middle, he said: "Fu, Fu'er..."

His hands froze, his nervousness and anticipation exploded all of a sudden, he opened his eyes and saw Rou Yan's slightly frightened eyes, his mind went blank, he just felt the fire "swish" It dropped to the freezing point, and a gust of cold air rushed from the soles of the feet to the Tianling Gai.

Bi Xin instinctively wanted to kick, but his body was so stiff that he just moved his legs and then he was relieved. He tied his tongue and said: "Help, help me up, it's time to write... write the memorial, no, it's time to review the memorial." .”

Rou Yan hurriedly helped him to sit up straight, then retreated to the bed and apologized.Bi Xin's expression was in a trance, he didn't know what he said to send Rou Yan back quickly.Rou Yan didn't panic, she bowed one by one according to the etiquette, combed her hair, and tidied up the hairpins on the small table in a calm manner.Seeing that he was absent-minded, Rou Yan quietly put a ruby ​​hairpin in the small drawer of the table before leaving, opened the curtain again and went out.

After Rouyan's speech, the palace was secretly surprised, everyone said that he loved Rouyan very much.Concubine Rong went in to serve alone in the afternoon, and when she came out, her hair was in a bun. It was Aunt Qianyu who took care of her bun and groomed herself before leaving the Zichen Palace.This has never happened before. In the past, it was said that the emperor kept his life clean and self-disciplined. He didn't get close to anyone except to hang out with the second master. It seemed that he didn't meet anyone he loved.
