Liu Qiuyu walked slowly on the corridor holding the scroll, her heart sank slowly.
Holding in his hand, maybe one of the rolls of portraits is that person's future wife...
This responsibility was too heavy, and it made his heart ache. The pain made his nose sore, and tears of grievance swirled in his eyes disobediently.
"Master Liu." Someone from the side called softly.
Liu Qiuyu was walking in a trance, and was so frightened by the call that he almost dropped the things he was holding in his hands. He stabilized his body in a panic, and took a closer look, standing in front of him was a handsome young man in a purple official robe
.
"Your official has met the Prime Minister!" Recognizing that the one who stopped him was the Prime Minister Luo Fengyang who had been killed by him, he immediately bowed to him.
Luo Fengyang smiled lightly, and pulled him back, "Master Liu doesn't need to be so polite. I just saw that Master Liu is very preoccupied, do you have any troubles?"
Liu Qiuyu bit her lip, she really couldn't hide her feelings, even Master Luo could see his loss at the moment, "Your official is just... not in good health."
Seeing him lower his eyes, Luo Fengyang also knew that the other party was unwilling to talk to him, so he changed the subject, "Master Liu just came from His Majesty, right? What are you holding in your hand?"
Liu Qiuyu was taken aback for a moment, and then replied calmly, "It is His Majesty who wants to draft for him, so these are the pictures of beauties presented by the ministers."
"Draft?" With his eyes wide open, Luo Fengyang frowned, secretly guessing King Dongli's intentions.Why did you bring up the matter of the draft at this time, and let Liu Qiuyu do it?
He had already seen his master and friend's affection for Liu Taishi, just as he had also discovered that he had impure thoughts about Gong Moyao.
He was a little curious, even if King Dongli wanted to stimulate Liu Taishi, who was a little dull and full of morals and etiquette, would this method be too drastic?And how could that person not
distressed?
Liu Qiuyu glanced at him and nodded slightly.
Luo Fengyang smiled awkwardly, "I'm just curious why His Majesty would suddenly want to be drafted. Hasn't he always opposed this?"
"Your Majesty is already in his twenties. When the late emperor was 20 years old, he already had three princes. For the sake of the country, His Majesty should accept concubines..." Liu Qiuyu murmured, but looked away.
Yes, such an arrangement is really reasonable, even if the father is still alive, he will definitely work hard for that person's marriage at this time, but why can't he be happy when he thinks that that person is going to marry a wife?
?Obviously once that person gets married, he can easily escape all the pressure, why...
"Is that so..." Seeing his sad face, Luo Fengyang caressed his chin, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.It turned out that this is the case, and finally saw some clues.
"It just so happens that I have nothing to do, why don't I accompany Master Liu to work for His Majesty." Luo Fengyang smiled, while reaching out his hand to share the scroll in his hand for Liu Qiuyu.
"You don't have to bother Mr. Luo, you can come by yourself..." Liu Qiuyu humbly turned around to avoid his hand, but a scroll accidentally fell to the ground.
As soon as the scroll fell to the ground, it spread out along the ground. The two of them took a closer look, but they were both taken aback.
What kind of beauties with national beauty and heavenly fragrance are on the painting? It is clearly a lively and fragrant erotic picture!
Liu Qiuyu's face turned pale, and she wanted to pick up the paintings in a panic, but when she leaned over hastily, all the scrolls in her hand fell down and scattered all over the floor.
In an instant, there was a strange atmosphere in the corridor, Liu Qiuyu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, tidying up in a hurry, but he didn't dare to call the palace people to help.
Luo Fengyang on the side lowered his body to clean up the mess with him, but he was holding back a smile.This is probably another prank by a friend!
"Master Taishi, have you noticed that the people in this painting are all men..." He smiled and pointed to a erotic picture beside him, while looking at Liu Qiuyu.
Liu Qiuyu's face turned from white to red, and she snatched the painting, rolled it up fiercely, closed her eyes, and muttered like chanting: "Do not see evil, do not listen to evil... "
Luo Fengyang looked at his panic-stricken appearance, laughed secretly, got up and patted his official robe, and sighed deliberately, "Oh, it seems that His Majesty doesn't really want to draft a draft at all, Mr. Liu, is it right now?
Are you more relieved? "
Liu Qiuyu raised his head and glared at him, then hugged the picture scroll back into his arms, and said dissatisfiedly: "If Your Majesty does not want to be drafted, I will have a headache even more! I will go back to your Majesty immediately, if Lord Luo wants to go out
Gong, forgive me for not sending you off, so farewell! After finishing speaking, he turned around holding the scroll and left.
Luo Fengyang stood behind him and smiled wryly, it seemed that he was angry with himself, so if we don't remind him to go to that person at this time, it will only be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
Pei Shengyu had expected that Liu Qiuyu would return, but he didn't expect him to come back so soon.
When Liu Qiuyu pushed the door and entered, he was drawing slowly, and when he saw that the other party was flushed and aggressive, he immediately knew that he had seen those "pictures of beauties".
"Lord Liu, although I have given you the privilege of entering the palace without notification, you should knock on the door first and let me know. Could this be the etiquette of your Liu family?" Pei Shengyu deliberately raised his eyes to look at him, then
Afterwards, he continued to immerse himself in painting, with no expression of guilt at all.
Liu Qiuyu was so angry that he could only bite his lower lip and knelt down unwillingly, "I was in a hurry and forgot the etiquette, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
"Forget it, get up." Pei Shengyu stopped writing, "Come back so quickly, could it be that Liu Aiqing has already chosen a concubine for me?"
"Your Majesty!" As soon as this matter was mentioned, anger kept rushing into his head. If he hadn't retained a sliver of reason, he might have committed the crime of assaulting the emperor.
Unfurling the scroll angrily, he pointed at the sensual paintings and angrily reprimanded them. "Your Majesty, are you kidding me?!"
Pei Shengyu glanced at the painting, and smiled even more seriously. "Oh, why do these pictures of beauties become unsightly in front of Aiqing? Aiqing showed me these things, is it implying something to me?
youngest? "
"Your Majesty!" Liu Qiuyu was furious, bristling with rage, clenching her teeth, staring at him stubbornly.
Appreciating his angry expression, Pei Shengyu walked forward with a smile, "Aiqing is so angry, is it because I only noticed Aiqing's intentions now?"
Stretching out his hand to pinch the opponent's chin, he gave a wicked smile, moved his upper lip together, and rubbed affectionately on Liu Qiuyu's lips.
Liu Qiuyu's eyes widened immediately, and she forgot to resist in astonishment.
Pei Shengyu caressed his cheek, still joking, "Okay, Liu Aiqing has a lot of love for me, I have already felt that Aiqing doesn't need to stare at me so eagerly."
Only then did Liu Qiuyu come back to her senses, and pushed away the person in front of her with all her strength, roaring angrily with her face flushed. "Your Majesty! If Your Majesty continues to act recklessly and make Qiu Yu ashamed to face her ancestors, Qiu Yu can only apologize with death!"
"You dare to threaten me with death..." Pei Shengyu's complexion changed, and he asked loudly angrily, so frightened that Liu Qiuyu lowered his head and stopped talking.
Seeing his panic, most of Pei Shengyu's anger quickly dissipated. Facing this person, he could only swallow his repeatedly rejected love as a test.
Maybe I was too anxious, knowing that the other party is a conservative and stubborn wood, such teasing and playing will only make the other party farther and farther away from me, but I still can't restrain myself
Desire... is his fault.
Sighing, he hugged Liu Qiuyu into his arms, and when he realized that he was about to struggle again, he rarely whispered seriously in her ear. "Don't move, just let me hug you for a while..."
The magnetic voice vibrated the eardrums. Liu Qiuyu actually did not reject this warm embrace, but his old thoughts made it difficult for him to accept such intimacy.
If the imperial decree is spoken, it cannot be disobeyed.
Gradually calming down the uneasiness in his heart, he muttered to himself as if comforting himself. "My minister complies with the order..."
Pei Shengyu was startled, and asked bitterly: "Is this considered an imperial decree?" Then he let go of his hand and gently pushed him away from his arms.
The cold wind hit, making Liu Qiuyu's thin body tremble slightly, he stared blankly at the person in front of him, and couldn't help feeling attached to his body temperature.
How many years has it been since I felt his body temperature and heartbeat so close?Every time I struggled to push him away, or forced him away with words...
Would the person be saddened by it?
Liu Qiuyu subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Pei Shengyu, only to see him smile faintly, with a strange and stiff expression that made Liu Qiuyu's heart twitch.
"Don't worry, Liu Aiqing, I won't make jokes about Aiqing again. After all, everyone has grown up and passed the age of playing casually. It's just that I can't let go. Since Aiqing can't
Endure, of course I won't be so ignorant and continue to stalk. "
As soon as he turned around and sat back on his chair, there was no expression on his face, just like he was in the lobby.
"It's hard for Aiqing to accompany me for so many years. I must have made Aiqing very difficult, right? Don't worry, Aiqing, I won't give Aiqing any headaches in the future. What Aiqing said is true. I really should get married and take a concubine. No
However, it is not easy to explain to the Queen Mother. "Pei Shengyu's expression was serious and serious.
Liu Qiuyu kept staring at his face, hoping that he would tell herself that what he said now was all a joke.
"What's wrong with Liu Aiqing? Why are you in a daze?" Pei Shengyu looked at him, and forced his lips to curl up.
Liu Qiuyu immediately shook her head and lowered her head, "I'm fine... If His Majesty really thinks so, I'll be very happy...."
For some reason, the words became a bit awkward, and Liu Qiuyu, who was used to these honorifics, couldn't help stuttering.
"...It's time for me to grow up a little bit, otherwise, wouldn't you courtiers laugh at me behind my back? Sigh, Liu Aiqing doesn't have to be so nervous in the future, and I won't touch you casually again." Unless it's you yourself
willing.
Hearing this, Liu Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief at first, as if a lot of pressure had disappeared, but the next moment, her heart felt tight again.
Did everything really end so easily?He will never hold himself like this again today, say something that makes people blush and heartbeat, and he will never be so close to himself... But that, isn't it exactly
Do you want it?
As long as you ignore those feelings that you shouldn't have, you can be free...
"I am very happy for His Majesty. If there is nothing else, I will retire temporarily."
"Liu Aiqing, please go ahead." Pei Shengyu rested his chin and watched him step by step carefully withdraw. After his sweetheart disappeared again, he sighed heavily, picked up the picture scroll on the table, and looked at it carefully.
.
In the painting, a petite figure almost disappears into the flowers. The person is holding a scroll and reading it seriously, not caring at all about the colorful butterflies flying around.
Caressing the face of the person in the painting with his fingers, Pei Shengyu also showed a trace of loneliness on his face.Did that person really never notice what kind of eyes he was looking at him with?
It seems that it is more difficult to capture that person's heart than imagined, but... putting away the scroll, he suddenly smiled and regained his previous self-confidence.
◇
The following days can really be described as "renewed". Liu Qiuyu feels that she is much more relaxed. After going to court every day, she can quietly nest in the pile of books and read without anyone coming to disturb her.
However, habits can't be changed so easily. Whenever he heard footsteps, he couldn't help but raise his head to see if it was the palace servants sent by King Dongli to summon him.
However, since that day, Pei Shengyu never told him to go to the imperial study.
Holding the book in my hand, my mind can't be fixed on the page. I always look at it, and my eyes will drift out of the window.
Living in a daze, Liu Qiuyu always forgets what he should do and what he shouldn't do, and makes frequent mistakes. The adults who work with him all sigh and shake their heads, saying that he seems to be in a bad mood recently
, should rest for a few days.
At this time, the wedding day of the prime minister and the general is approaching quietly, and the topics discussed by many civil servants in private these days have always revolved around the marriage of these two ministers.
However, it is inevitable that his colleagues who work in the same room will gossip in front of him.
"I heard that the general sent the prime minister back to the mansion these days, hehe, it is said that the two adults have a very good relationship, and they can even make out in the carriage..."
"The coachman said that the whole carriage was shaking violently. I really can't see that these two people are so at odds in court, but they have that kind of relationship in private."
"There have been rumors for a long time that the prime minister has a homosexual hobby, and the target is probably the general? These two guys are deliberately arguing in front of everyone, obviously trying to cover it up!"
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise enough to see their tricks and directly let them form a family, so as to save the two of them from arguing in the court every day. Your Majesty is really powerful. Don't you think so, Mr. Liu?"
people? "An official stroked his beard and looked at Liu Qiuyu with sarcasm in his eyes.
Liu Qiuyu was startled, knowing that others had discovered that she was eavesdropping, she blushed, and stammered, "But same-sex marriages are not allowed, your Majesty's move is obviously inappropriate, if you let the ancestors know...
'
"Lord Liu, it's not that the lower officials are going to talk about you. Look, we old guys haven't said anything. What are you worrying about?" An old official with a white beard laughed, "Although your Majesty usually looks
A bit stubborn, but he is very reasonable in doing things, and the decisions he makes often have his purpose and intentions. We courtiers can rest assured that as long as we follow His Majesty's wishes, you will be fine.
Don't be foolish enough to talk to His Majesty again, saying that this move is inappropriate or something! "
"Ah?" Liu Qiuyu opened her mouth wide in astonishment.He didn't understand, it was obviously something wrong at first glance, why did everyone still defend that person, saying that he had a purpose and a plan?
? !
"Lord Liu, judging by your expression, it must have been..." The old white bearded official smiled wryly, while squinting at the many courtiers around him, all the ministers suddenly realized.No wonder I haven't seen King Dongli these days
Calling Liu Taishi as frequently as usual, it must be his remarks that angered Longyan, so it is normal to be ignored now.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, you can't be so straightforward as a person, especially as an official..." The old white-bearded official patted him on the shoulder as if to comfort him, "Even if you have been with His Majesty since childhood, it doesn't mean that you have been with His Majesty since childhood."
Your Majesty can say anything in front of you, and the prime minister is smarter than you in this regard, so your majesty relies on the prime minister's opinion even more. "
"...I was too impulsive." Lowering her head, Liu Qiuyu tightly grasped the official robe with both hands, feeling a hint of jealousy in her heart.
Luo Fengyang has only been in Dongli for eight or nine years, but he has been with King Dongli for more than ten years. Why would that person choose to rely on others rather than himself?Is my own ability too
Weak, not as good as the prime minister, or is my character not as likable as the prime minister?
What makes him jealous is that if the prime minister really likes General Gong, why can they rely on the imperial decree, ignore the contempt of the world, and still accept the blessings of the civil and military courts?
"Your Majesty announces that the Taishi ordered Master Liu to have an audience!" At this time, a notification came from the door, Liu Qiuyu was startled, and it took a while to react, and hurriedly followed the inner officer.
"My minister Liu Qiuyu has met His Majesty." When he came to the imperial study room, he knelt down and secretly looked up at the person in front of him whom he could not help but miss for a few days. He was a little happy, but seeing the other person
Behind his face, he became worried again.Why does he look thinner and so haggard?
"Get up, Liu Aiqing, Prime Minister Luo and General Gong's big day is tomorrow, I also want to come to congratulate in person, Liu Taishi will take care of me for me, how about a private visit with me tomorrow?" Pei Sheng
The voice of the language is gentle, and there is no emotion.
Liu Qiuyu couldn't help feeling flustered, wondering if she had been slow to react recently, and couldn't figure out what he was thinking, nor what his intentions were, as if separated from his heart by a wall.
I thought I was the one who knew him best...
"Your Majesty complies with the decree, what does Your Majesty want this minister to prepare?" Pressing the panic in his heart, he asked in a low voice, maintaining his composure.
Pei Shengyu hummed, then said one by one, and after asking him to write it down, he yawned and waved his sleeves to ask him to back down.
Liu Qiuyu was a little disappointed, but what the other party did was indeed a normal process of a king entrusting his subjects to do things. Besides, what else did he expect him to do to him?He asked himself mockingly in his heart.
Unintentional to do things, he turned around and looked out the window in a daze after taking care of the things assigned by his master.
Although he didn't want to compete for favor, at least he hoped to be the king's reliance and the king's right-hand man, instead of doing nothing like he was doing now and only doing trivial things.
But that person just doesn't want to rely on him, what's on his mind, he would rather talk to Prime Minister Luo than tell himself, he is just so useless and cannot be trusted...
After a night of insomnia, he still got up early the next morning. According to what Pei Shengyu said, he dressed himself up as a little bookboy and waited outside the palace gate early.
After a while, the palace door was slightly opened, and Pei Shengyu, who was dressed as a scholar, came out. When he saw him, he smiled slightly, hissed, and led him quickly out of the palace.
Not long after leaving the palace, Chaoyang climbed out from the top of the hill, and the sun shone on her body, making Liu Qiuyu feel a little bit warm.
After stretching, Pei Shengyu endured his drowsiness and walked forward.Today, because Luo Fengyang and Gong Moyao got married, he even avoided the morning court, and simply let all the ministers take a day off. At this time, the ministers are probably also very excited
Bo stood guard at the gate of the general's mansion, betting and guessing who will marry whom?How could such an interesting thing be missed without him, King Dongli?
"Your Majesty..." Liu Qiuyu was also a little sleepy, they left half an hour earlier than usual, he didn't understand, didn't the prime minister and the general start the marriage ceremony at the end of the day?
Pei Shengyu stopped suddenly, turned around, and got a little closer to Liu Qiuyu, so frightened that he almost backed away.
But he didn't do anything, he just whispered in Liu Qiuyu's ear: "Since you are outside the palace, remember to call me son or young master."
"Oh..." Liu Qiuyu reacted, nodded hastily, and blushed a little, "Then...Master Yu?"
"Well, good boy!" Pei Shengyu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted his head.
Liu Qiuyu lowered her head with a blushing face, revealing a large part of her fair neck, which made Pei Shengyu slightly dazed, wishing to take two bites immediately.
"Young...Young Master..." Pei Shengyu didn't realize that he had just accidentally called out again until he called weakly.
Fascinated, lost his soul, he just withdrew his hand.
"Okay, let's go around Shenglin City today, and taste the things that we can't eat in the palace, how about it?"
"Everything is up to the young master." Liu Qiuyu replied in a low voice, her head lowered habitually, but her chin was lifted unexpectedly.
"I said Qiu Yu, you are outside the palace now, so you don't have to put on a slavish face anymore, young master, I order you to keep your head up and don't lower it!" Pei Shengyu smiled mischievously.
He admired the slightly flushed face of the person in front of him, and those watery eyes.
How many years have I not been this close, and observed him so carefully, he is even more attractive... Pei Shengyu couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Qiuyu hurriedly looked away, broke free from his grasp, and replied with a blushing face, "Yes, I understand."
"Okay, then let's try the steamed stuffed buns from that shop first!" With a slight tap, he pointed to a small tea house not far away.
The two ate from the steamed stuffed bun shop to the dessert shop. Pei Shengyu had never eaten breakfast among the people, so he ate with great relish, and his stomach almost burst.
Looking at the man in front of him, like a child, desperately stuffing something into his mouth, Liu Qiuyu almost forgot his identity and laughed.
But he endured it all the time and didn't dare to make a sound.
Pei Shengyu gnawed on his snack and said to him, "Qiu Yu, laugh as much as you want, why hold back?"
His expression was very serious, but there were a lot of debris left on the corners of his mouth. I am afraid that few people have seen this greedy look. Finally, Liu Qiuyu couldn't help smiling slightly, and stretched out his hand without thinking much.
, Wipe off the debris from the corners of his mouth.
This intimate move made Pei Shengyu startled, and his surprise also made Liu Qiuyu realize how inappropriate his actions were, so he immediately withdrew his hand.
"Yes... I'm sorry, young master... I..." His face was hot, and he couldn't finish a sentence.
"It's okay, hehe..." Pei Shengyu smiled slightly, but his heart was half-dead with joy. It seems that the trick of taking him for a private visit in a micro-service was the right one.
to forget.
Caressing his lips, he couldn't finish it, and hoped that the other party would take the initiative.
"Qiu Yu, let's make a bet, shall we?" With a cunning flash in his eyes, he smiled.
"What do you want to bet, young master?" Liu Qiuyu didn't know what it was, but she was still a little interested, raised her head, and looked at him with those big watery eyes.
"Today is Feng Yang and Mo Yao's big wedding day. Let's take a gamble and see who will marry whom?" Pei Shengyu took another bite of the pastry, folded the folding fan and pointed at the person opposite, "Say it first up!
'
"Master, what's the bet?" Liu Qiuyu touched her body, feeling a little embarrassed.I came out in a bit of a hurry this morning, I didn't bring much silver with me, and I only had money to give to the prime minister and the general.
Just a congratulatory gift.
"How about a kiss?" As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Liu Qiuyu's face darken, Pei Shengyu hurriedly changed his words, "You're just kidding, why don't you paint for the other party instead?"
"Okay, as the young master said." Liu Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief.He is very good at drawing, so it doesn't matter if he loses, but if it's a kiss, no matter whether he wins or loses, he can't accept it.
"Hehe, it's a great honor to get Qiu Yu's painting..." Although Pei Shengyu praised verbally, he was very annoyed that he would change his words when he saw the other person's face change. He wanted to paint more than to paint.
It's Qiu Yu's kiss and Qiu Yu's heart!
"You haven't started to gamble yet. How does the young master know that I must lose?" He was a little unconvinced and calculated carefully. Prime Minister Luo was weak, but he was not inferior to General Gong in terms of momentum.
If he had the upper hand, then it should be Luo Fengyang who persuaded Gong Moyao in the end.
"Then I'll bet that Master Luo will marry, and General Gong will marry!" After making up his mind, he looked at Pei Shengyu confidently.
Pei Shengyu chuckled, and drew a circle on the table with his fingers, "Then I'll bet...the same marriage, no difference!"
"Marry the same, regardless of each other?" Liu Qiuyu looked at him suspiciously.
Pei Shengyu just held his chin up, deliberately showing off, "You will understand when the time comes."
Liu Qiuyu saw a trace of treachery in his eyes, and vaguely felt that she seemed to have made a mistake in betting, and her self-confidence just disappeared in an instant.
Holding in his hand, maybe one of the rolls of portraits is that person's future wife...
This responsibility was too heavy, and it made his heart ache. The pain made his nose sore, and tears of grievance swirled in his eyes disobediently.
"Master Liu." Someone from the side called softly.
Liu Qiuyu was walking in a trance, and was so frightened by the call that he almost dropped the things he was holding in his hands. He stabilized his body in a panic, and took a closer look, standing in front of him was a handsome young man in a purple official robe

Liu Qiuyu bit her lip, she really couldn't hide her feelings, even Master Luo could see his loss at the moment, "Your official is just... not in good health."
Seeing him lower his eyes, Luo Fengyang also knew that the other party was unwilling to talk to him, so he changed the subject, "Master Liu just came from His Majesty, right? What are you holding in your hand?"
Liu Qiuyu was taken aback for a moment, and then replied calmly, "It is His Majesty who wants to draft for him, so these are the pictures of beauties presented by the ministers."
"Draft?" With his eyes wide open, Luo Fengyang frowned, secretly guessing King Dongli's intentions.Why did you bring up the matter of the draft at this time, and let Liu Qiuyu do it?
He had already seen his master and friend's affection for Liu Taishi, just as he had also discovered that he had impure thoughts about Gong Moyao.
He was a little curious, even if King Dongli wanted to stimulate Liu Taishi, who was a little dull and full of morals and etiquette, would this method be too drastic?And how could that person not

Luo Fengyang stood behind him and smiled wryly, it seemed that he was angry with himself, so if we don't remind him to go to that person at this time, it will only be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
Pei Shengyu had expected that Liu Qiuyu would return, but he didn't expect him to come back so soon.

Sighing, he hugged Liu Qiuyu into his arms, and when he realized that he was about to struggle again, he rarely whispered seriously in her ear. "Don't move, just let me hug you for a while..."
The magnetic voice vibrated the eardrums. Liu Qiuyu actually did not reject this warm embrace, but his old thoughts made it difficult for him to accept such intimacy.
If the imperial decree is spoken, it cannot be disobeyed.
Gradually calming down the uneasiness in his heart, he muttered to himself as if comforting himself. "My minister complies with the order..."
Pei Shengyu was startled, and asked bitterly: "Is this considered an imperial decree?" Then he let go of his hand and gently pushed him away from his arms.
The cold wind hit, making Liu Qiuyu's thin body tremble slightly, he stared blankly at the person in front of him, and couldn't help feeling attached to his body temperature.
How many years has it been since I felt his body temperature and heartbeat so close?Every time I struggled to push him away, or forced him away with words...
Would the person be saddened by it?
Liu Qiuyu subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Pei Shengyu, only to see him smile faintly, with a strange and stiff expression that made Liu Qiuyu's heart twitch.
"Don't worry, Liu Aiqing, I won't make jokes about Aiqing again. After all, everyone has grown up and passed the age of playing casually. It's just that I can't let go. Since Aiqing can't
Endure, of course I won't be so ignorant and continue to stalk. "
As soon as he turned around and sat back on his chair, there was no expression on his face, just like he was in the lobby.
"It's hard for Aiqing to accompany me for so many years. I must have made Aiqing very difficult, right? Don't worry, Aiqing, I won't give Aiqing any headaches in the future. What Aiqing said is true. I really should get married and take a concubine. No
However, it is not easy to explain to the Queen Mother. "Pei Shengyu's expression was serious and serious.
Liu Qiuyu kept staring at his face, hoping that he would tell herself that what he said now was all a joke.
"What's wrong with Liu Aiqing? Why are you in a daze?" Pei Shengyu looked at him, and forced his lips to curl up.
Liu Qiuyu immediately shook her head and lowered her head, "I'm fine... If His Majesty really thinks so, I'll be very happy...."
For some reason, the words became a bit awkward, and Liu Qiuyu, who was used to these honorifics, couldn't help stuttering.
"...It's time for me to grow up a little bit, otherwise, wouldn't you courtiers laugh at me behind my back? Sigh, Liu Aiqing doesn't have to be so nervous in the future, and I won't touch you casually again." Unless it's you yourself
willing.
Hearing this, Liu Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief at first, as if a lot of pressure had disappeared, but the next moment, her heart felt tight again.
Did everything really end so easily?He will never hold himself like this again today, say something that makes people blush and heartbeat, and he will never be so close to himself... But that, isn't it exactly
Do you want it?
As long as you ignore those feelings that you shouldn't have, you can be free...
"I am very happy for His Majesty. If there is nothing else, I will retire temporarily."
"Liu Aiqing, please go ahead." Pei Shengyu rested his chin and watched him step by step carefully withdraw. After his sweetheart disappeared again, he sighed heavily, picked up the picture scroll on the table, and looked at it carefully.
.
In the painting, a petite figure almost disappears into the flowers. The person is holding a scroll and reading it seriously, not caring at all about the colorful butterflies flying around.
Caressing the face of the person in the painting with his fingers, Pei Shengyu also showed a trace of loneliness on his face.Did that person really never notice what kind of eyes he was looking at him with?
It seems that it is more difficult to capture that person's heart than imagined, but... putting away the scroll, he suddenly smiled and regained his previous self-confidence.
◇
The following days can really be described as "renewed". Liu Qiuyu feels that she is much more relaxed. After going to court every day, she can quietly nest in the pile of books and read without anyone coming to disturb her.
However, habits can't be changed so easily. Whenever he heard footsteps, he couldn't help but raise his head to see if it was the palace servants sent by King Dongli to summon him.
However, since that day, Pei Shengyu never told him to go to the imperial study.
Holding the book in my hand, my mind can't be fixed on the page. I always look at it, and my eyes will drift out of the window.
Living in a daze, Liu Qiuyu always forgets what he should do and what he shouldn't do, and makes frequent mistakes. The adults who work with him all sigh and shake their heads, saying that he seems to be in a bad mood recently
, should rest for a few days.
At this time, the wedding day of the prime minister and the general is approaching quietly, and the topics discussed by many civil servants in private these days have always revolved around the marriage of these two ministers.
However, it is inevitable that his colleagues who work in the same room will gossip in front of him.
"I heard that the general sent the prime minister back to the mansion these days, hehe, it is said that the two adults have a very good relationship, and they can even make out in the carriage..."
"The coachman said that the whole carriage was shaking violently. I really can't see that these two people are so at odds in court, but they have that kind of relationship in private."
"There have been rumors for a long time that the prime minister has a homosexual hobby, and the target is probably the general? These two guys are deliberately arguing in front of everyone, obviously trying to cover it up!"
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise enough to see their tricks and directly let them form a family, so as to save the two of them from arguing in the court every day. Your Majesty is really powerful. Don't you think so, Mr. Liu?"
people? "An official stroked his beard and looked at Liu Qiuyu with sarcasm in his eyes.
Liu Qiuyu was startled, knowing that others had discovered that she was eavesdropping, she blushed, and stammered, "But same-sex marriages are not allowed, your Majesty's move is obviously inappropriate, if you let the ancestors know...
'
"Lord Liu, it's not that the lower officials are going to talk about you. Look, we old guys haven't said anything. What are you worrying about?" An old official with a white beard laughed, "Although your Majesty usually looks
A bit stubborn, but he is very reasonable in doing things, and the decisions he makes often have his purpose and intentions. We courtiers can rest assured that as long as we follow His Majesty's wishes, you will be fine.
Don't be foolish enough to talk to His Majesty again, saying that this move is inappropriate or something! "
"Ah?" Liu Qiuyu opened her mouth wide in astonishment.He didn't understand, it was obviously something wrong at first glance, why did everyone still defend that person, saying that he had a purpose and a plan?
? !
"Lord Liu, judging by your expression, it must have been..." The old white bearded official smiled wryly, while squinting at the many courtiers around him, all the ministers suddenly realized.No wonder I haven't seen King Dongli these days
Calling Liu Taishi as frequently as usual, it must be his remarks that angered Longyan, so it is normal to be ignored now.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, you can't be so straightforward as a person, especially as an official..." The old white-bearded official patted him on the shoulder as if to comfort him, "Even if you have been with His Majesty since childhood, it doesn't mean that you have been with His Majesty since childhood."
Your Majesty can say anything in front of you, and the prime minister is smarter than you in this regard, so your majesty relies on the prime minister's opinion even more. "
"...I was too impulsive." Lowering her head, Liu Qiuyu tightly grasped the official robe with both hands, feeling a hint of jealousy in her heart.
Luo Fengyang has only been in Dongli for eight or nine years, but he has been with King Dongli for more than ten years. Why would that person choose to rely on others rather than himself?Is my own ability too
Weak, not as good as the prime minister, or is my character not as likable as the prime minister?
What makes him jealous is that if the prime minister really likes General Gong, why can they rely on the imperial decree, ignore the contempt of the world, and still accept the blessings of the civil and military courts?
"Your Majesty announces that the Taishi ordered Master Liu to have an audience!" At this time, a notification came from the door, Liu Qiuyu was startled, and it took a while to react, and hurriedly followed the inner officer.
"My minister Liu Qiuyu has met His Majesty." When he came to the imperial study room, he knelt down and secretly looked up at the person in front of him whom he could not help but miss for a few days. He was a little happy, but seeing the other person
Behind his face, he became worried again.Why does he look thinner and so haggard?
"Get up, Liu Aiqing, Prime Minister Luo and General Gong's big day is tomorrow, I also want to come to congratulate in person, Liu Taishi will take care of me for me, how about a private visit with me tomorrow?" Pei Sheng
The voice of the language is gentle, and there is no emotion.
Liu Qiuyu couldn't help feeling flustered, wondering if she had been slow to react recently, and couldn't figure out what he was thinking, nor what his intentions were, as if separated from his heart by a wall.
I thought I was the one who knew him best...
"Your Majesty complies with the decree, what does Your Majesty want this minister to prepare?" Pressing the panic in his heart, he asked in a low voice, maintaining his composure.
Pei Shengyu hummed, then said one by one, and after asking him to write it down, he yawned and waved his sleeves to ask him to back down.
Liu Qiuyu was a little disappointed, but what the other party did was indeed a normal process of a king entrusting his subjects to do things. Besides, what else did he expect him to do to him?He asked himself mockingly in his heart.
Unintentional to do things, he turned around and looked out the window in a daze after taking care of the things assigned by his master.
Although he didn't want to compete for favor, at least he hoped to be the king's reliance and the king's right-hand man, instead of doing nothing like he was doing now and only doing trivial things.
But that person just doesn't want to rely on him, what's on his mind, he would rather talk to Prime Minister Luo than tell himself, he is just so useless and cannot be trusted...
After a night of insomnia, he still got up early the next morning. According to what Pei Shengyu said, he dressed himself up as a little bookboy and waited outside the palace gate early.
After a while, the palace door was slightly opened, and Pei Shengyu, who was dressed as a scholar, came out. When he saw him, he smiled slightly, hissed, and led him quickly out of the palace.
Not long after leaving the palace, Chaoyang climbed out from the top of the hill, and the sun shone on her body, making Liu Qiuyu feel a little bit warm.
After stretching, Pei Shengyu endured his drowsiness and walked forward.Today, because Luo Fengyang and Gong Moyao got married, he even avoided the morning court, and simply let all the ministers take a day off. At this time, the ministers are probably also very excited
Bo stood guard at the gate of the general's mansion, betting and guessing who will marry whom?How could such an interesting thing be missed without him, King Dongli?
"Your Majesty..." Liu Qiuyu was also a little sleepy, they left half an hour earlier than usual, he didn't understand, didn't the prime minister and the general start the marriage ceremony at the end of the day?
Pei Shengyu stopped suddenly, turned around, and got a little closer to Liu Qiuyu, so frightened that he almost backed away.
But he didn't do anything, he just whispered in Liu Qiuyu's ear: "Since you are outside the palace, remember to call me son or young master."
"Oh..." Liu Qiuyu reacted, nodded hastily, and blushed a little, "Then...Master Yu?"
"Well, good boy!" Pei Shengyu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted his head.
Liu Qiuyu lowered her head with a blushing face, revealing a large part of her fair neck, which made Pei Shengyu slightly dazed, wishing to take two bites immediately.
"Young...Young Master..." Pei Shengyu didn't realize that he had just accidentally called out again until he called weakly.
Fascinated, lost his soul, he just withdrew his hand.
"Okay, let's go around Shenglin City today, and taste the things that we can't eat in the palace, how about it?"
"Everything is up to the young master." Liu Qiuyu replied in a low voice, her head lowered habitually, but her chin was lifted unexpectedly.
"I said Qiu Yu, you are outside the palace now, so you don't have to put on a slavish face anymore, young master, I order you to keep your head up and don't lower it!" Pei Shengyu smiled mischievously.
He admired the slightly flushed face of the person in front of him, and those watery eyes.
How many years have I not been this close, and observed him so carefully, he is even more attractive... Pei Shengyu couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Qiuyu hurriedly looked away, broke free from his grasp, and replied with a blushing face, "Yes, I understand."
"Okay, then let's try the steamed stuffed buns from that shop first!" With a slight tap, he pointed to a small tea house not far away.
The two ate from the steamed stuffed bun shop to the dessert shop. Pei Shengyu had never eaten breakfast among the people, so he ate with great relish, and his stomach almost burst.
Looking at the man in front of him, like a child, desperately stuffing something into his mouth, Liu Qiuyu almost forgot his identity and laughed.
But he endured it all the time and didn't dare to make a sound.
Pei Shengyu gnawed on his snack and said to him, "Qiu Yu, laugh as much as you want, why hold back?"
His expression was very serious, but there were a lot of debris left on the corners of his mouth. I am afraid that few people have seen this greedy look. Finally, Liu Qiuyu couldn't help smiling slightly, and stretched out his hand without thinking much.
, Wipe off the debris from the corners of his mouth.
This intimate move made Pei Shengyu startled, and his surprise also made Liu Qiuyu realize how inappropriate his actions were, so he immediately withdrew his hand.
"Yes... I'm sorry, young master... I..." His face was hot, and he couldn't finish a sentence.
"It's okay, hehe..." Pei Shengyu smiled slightly, but his heart was half-dead with joy. It seems that the trick of taking him for a private visit in a micro-service was the right one.
to forget.
Caressing his lips, he couldn't finish it, and hoped that the other party would take the initiative.
"Qiu Yu, let's make a bet, shall we?" With a cunning flash in his eyes, he smiled.
"What do you want to bet, young master?" Liu Qiuyu didn't know what it was, but she was still a little interested, raised her head, and looked at him with those big watery eyes.
"Today is Feng Yang and Mo Yao's big wedding day. Let's take a gamble and see who will marry whom?" Pei Shengyu took another bite of the pastry, folded the folding fan and pointed at the person opposite, "Say it first up!
'
"Master, what's the bet?" Liu Qiuyu touched her body, feeling a little embarrassed.I came out in a bit of a hurry this morning, I didn't bring much silver with me, and I only had money to give to the prime minister and the general.
Just a congratulatory gift.
"How about a kiss?" As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Liu Qiuyu's face darken, Pei Shengyu hurriedly changed his words, "You're just kidding, why don't you paint for the other party instead?"
"Okay, as the young master said." Liu Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief.He is very good at drawing, so it doesn't matter if he loses, but if it's a kiss, no matter whether he wins or loses, he can't accept it.
"Hehe, it's a great honor to get Qiu Yu's painting..." Although Pei Shengyu praised verbally, he was very annoyed that he would change his words when he saw the other person's face change. He wanted to paint more than to paint.
It's Qiu Yu's kiss and Qiu Yu's heart!
"You haven't started to gamble yet. How does the young master know that I must lose?" He was a little unconvinced and calculated carefully. Prime Minister Luo was weak, but he was not inferior to General Gong in terms of momentum.
If he had the upper hand, then it should be Luo Fengyang who persuaded Gong Moyao in the end.
"Then I'll bet that Master Luo will marry, and General Gong will marry!" After making up his mind, he looked at Pei Shengyu confidently.
Pei Shengyu chuckled, and drew a circle on the table with his fingers, "Then I'll bet...the same marriage, no difference!"
"Marry the same, regardless of each other?" Liu Qiuyu looked at him suspiciously.
Pei Shengyu just held his chin up, deliberately showing off, "You will understand when the time comes."
Liu Qiuyu saw a trace of treachery in his eyes, and vaguely felt that she seemed to have made a mistake in betting, and her self-confidence just disappeared in an instant.
