I am His Majesty's favorite

Here, Mu Chen and Lin Heng are giving you my arms, I am loyal to you, and they are affectionate (no!) to each other.

The relationship between civil servants and military generals is far from being so harmonious.

His Majesty the Emperor was away, so the banquet for the envoys naturally came to an end soon.

Ha Ke Saqing took Princess Wen Ze to the small hall of Keqing to rest, and Lian Xizhuo and the Minister of Rites also transferred out of Tangli Palace after a brief negotiation about related matters.

When he walked to the gate of the Second Palace, he found that the carriage he had come in was gone.Only the green oilcloth sedan chair of the general's mansion was left, and a human-shaped wooden stake next to it - Ji Huaichen.

Seeing General Ji's incomparably serious face, Tang Yao, the minister of Dali Temple, felt both helpless and amused, afraid of getting involved in the usual fight scene of civil servants and generals, he hurriedly elbowed Lian Xizhuo.

"With Nanchong Criminal Law No. 30 and eight articles, killing the central general should be sentenced to exile. Brackets, the places of exile are at least three thousand miles apart, and the brackets are over."

Biting the end of the word, Tang Yao slipped into his carriage first, and poked his face out of the small window and said, "Okay, okay, don't tear down my wheels. Your brother is still waiting for you, go quickly!"

Lian Xizhuo snorted, grinding his teeth at the flying horses and chariots.

After the officials all around had greeted and left, he reluctantly swayed to the green oilcloth sedan chair.

Before stepping onto the sedan chair, Ji Huaichen grabbed his wrist and took the belt down.

"What are you doing!" Lian University was very angry when he was dragged back and forth.

Of course, he became even angrier after seeing Ji Huaichen's face up close.

His face was ashen and cold, as if the ancestral grave had been dug up and turned into a cornfield.

"I have something to tell you."

"Let go, can't you just say it?!" Lian Xi Zhuo glanced at the curious eyes from the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help breaking free three points.

General Ji still had sense, and realized that it was impolite to pull at the gate of the palace, so he let go of his wrist, but his face was still as cold as iron.

"You were at the banquet just now, why did you always stare at that Princess Xichuan?"

Lian University was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Everyone has a love for beauty, besides, my prince's reputation for being romantic has long been known to everyone in the south."

"What, the first day that General Ji met me? Didn't he bring his soldiers to the Gefang restaurant to catch me enough?"

Ji Huaichen frowned: "Then you really like her?"

"Nonsense, my lord doesn't like her, should I like you?"

Ji Huaichen's face turned crimson, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Yeah, don't talk nonsense." Lian Xizhuo laughed again, this time it was very sarcastic.

"I really don't understand you. I obviously don't want me to have a selfish admiration for Princess Wen Ze, but I refuse to say it outright. Ji Huaichen, is it so difficult to listen to your sincere words?"

General Ji pursed his lips slightly, and said dumbly for a moment: "Don't get me wrong, I... I have no other intentions."

"I'm just a minister, so I have to remind you that Princess Wenze is dedicated to His Majesty by Xichuan. Even if you love beauty, you must never touch her."

"Oh, so you are not annoyed that I pay too much attention to her, but you are afraid that I will embarrass Lin Heng?"

"Yu Qing!" Ji Huaichen was furious. "Your Majesty's name is taboo, how can you call it directly."

Lian Xizhuo crossed his arms, looking like a fool.

After a while, he picked up his lips and smiled. "Very good. Are you finished with General Ji's teachings? Then I will leave without your company."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and raised his feet forward, the movement was so clean that the other party didn't even have time to stretch out the hand he wanted to keep.

Ji Huaichen is only a little bit delicate.

He could notice Lian Xizhuo's reddened eyes.

The back figure that hurried away was actually full of loneliness and sadness.

Ji Huaichen sighed heavily until Bachelor Lian walked out for a long time.

It seemed like he wasted another chance to have a good chat.

The entourage on the carriage pondered for a long time, and finally asked anxiously: "General, this wine......"

Last time, Lian Xizhuo muttered a few words casually, saying that the new brew from Dongshi Distillery was rich and mellow.

He quietly went to buy an altar, thinking that it would be a joy for the little prince today.Unexpectedly, the wine hadn't been delivered yet, but people made him run away in anger.

"Take it back to the general's mansion, and put it in Yuqing's wing with the hangover soup."

After turning around in the cold wind for more than half an hour, Lian Xizhuo finally boarded the horse-drawn carriage of passing officials.

It wasn't until the officials delivered the Grand Scholars suspected of being abandoned on the palace road to the door of a certain Yanliu Lane that the expression on the face rubbing the sore legs and feet eased a little.

Lian University thanked him politely, then, under the watchful eyes of his colleagues, he limped into the Changgefang, and ordered eight girls who sang ditties to accompany him.

Changgefang is a place that Lian Xizhuo often comes to. It is famous in the imperial city for its soft whispers and Jiangnan tunes.

If you have nothing to do, listening to the crisp songs here is definitely an unrivaled enjoyment.

However, Lian Xizhuo was in a bad mood today, and Pipa's exhortations not only did not calm down the depression in his heart, but instead gave him a wave of evil fire for no reason.

"My lord, this wine is very strong, I'm afraid it will hurt you if you drink it so hard."

A pretty dancer persuaded her gently.

She has a slender waist, half of her body is reclined, her chest is almost in Lian Xizhuo's arms.

Unexpectedly, Lian University quickly dodged, and the look of snatching back the wine glass was not at all sympathetic, and his expression was full of indifference and alienation.

The girl was treated coldly, embarrassment flashed across her apricot-like eyes, and then she forced a smile and said: "Master, my son-in-law has learned a new dance, how about dancing for you to relieve boredom?"

"go out."

Lian Xizhuo gulped down a few gulps of spirits, his voice was not as light and gentle as usual.Instead, it was low and hoarse, which was very in line with his half-drunk and half-awake state at the moment.

The girl wanted to speak, but she was so shocked by the frightening gaze that she turned her back that she dared not make a sound.She had no choice but to restrain the smile froze at the corner of her lips, and exited the private room resentfully.

It is said by outsiders that the Lian University scholar is greedy for beauty, and he is unrestrained.

But the fact is.

It is true that Lian Xizhuo loves to visit romantic places, but he always only listens to music and dances, but never gets involved with any concubine or young lady.

He intentionally fabricated the charming affair and let it spread, one is to paralyze the courtiers and reduce his own threat.

After all, he served as the head of civil servants and Lin Heng's extremely trusted confidant.

The second is because of Ji Huaichen.

When he was young, he and Ji Huaichen were probably brothers who cared for each other.

The old general went on expeditions all year round, and the two children were left unattended, so they had to make trouble with the neighbors.

At that time, across the street from the General's Mansion were the official residences of four or five important ministers in the court, and the young masters of the family always liked to gather together for fun.

I don't bother with such leisurely and elegant things as composing poems and covering them. I try my best to imitate the children in the market to dig out birds' eggs from trees and go down to rivers to fish for fat fish.

It just so happens that both of them are special existences in aristocratic families.

Old General Ji has a high position and authority, and he made friends with the eldest son of the General's Mansion, even if it was just a simple friendship between children, he would inevitably be suspected of being a private crony by someone with a heart.

Not to mention Lian Xizhuo, to put it nicely, it was because of the favor of the first emperor that he couldn't bear to let him slip into the muddy waters of the harem.

But anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was because he couldn't stay in the palace that he was sent to the general's mansion.The so-called prince is like a hot potato placed at will.

No one wanted or dared to ask them to have fun, so they became each other's only playmates as a matter of course.

At first, Ji Huaichen often accompanied Lian Xizhuo.

Go outing on the hillside in spring and release paper kites, steal watermelons in the fields in summer, dig river crabs in the stream in autumn, and enjoy the snow around the stove in winter.

As the severe cold changed, they spent several years of carefree and beautiful years together.

But gradually, Ji Huaichen didn't like to go out very much, and devoted most of his time to the backyard of the General's Mansion—the martial arts field with eighteen kinds of weapons.

Lian Xizhuo understands that he is to inherit his father's business and guard Nanchang's country.

So Lian Xizhuo didn't go out, instead, he stayed with him in the martial arts field day after day.From sunrise to night, I waited for Ji Huaichen to end his tiring day and say a few words to himself.

After the old general passed away, Ji Huaichen held several positions, Lian Xizhuo still understood his hard work.

So he took care of the trivial affairs of the general's mansion, hoping that he could deal with the important affairs of the army without distraction.

Time flies, and I don't know when, the way they get along with each other has become strange.

Either we don't see each other for ten days and a half months, or we just meet to talk about things.In the end, it even developed to the point where they were speechless except for necessary conversations.

Until Lian Xizhuo got upset one time and went to a tavern to get drunk.

That day Ji Huaichen panicked when he heard about it, he put down his official duties, searched all the taverns in the imperial city to find him, took him back and took good care of him all night.

"It must be done in this way in order to get a little concern from you, right?"

It is rare for Lian Xizhuo to lose his composure. He smashed the empty wine jar and swept away the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

"What am I? To you, Ji Huaichen, what am I?"

"Brother? I once singled out a dozen or so children who bullied me, and said that I would take care of my brother who was not hurt in the future?"

"Or the housekeeper? The kind who takes care of the general's house for you, without salary every month?"

"No, it's your deadly enemy." Lian Xizhuo murmured, and the water in her bright eyes surged.

"That's right, a wild child who has lost the face of the general's mansion with his disorderly conduct."

He originally had a bright smile, with a playful little dimple.

At this time, the alcohol was stirring up, his complexion turned red, and his overly thick eyelashes trembled slightly, adding a sense of vulnerability under the lamp.

Broken porcelain was scattered on the ground, and a lot of wine stains poured over, spilled on his front and clothes, leaving mottled patches.

......... Ji Huaichen saw this situation when he heard the news and rushed over.

"Yuqing?"

General Ji called softly, and could not help but frown when he smelled the strong smell of alcohol.

"Nonsense...go, come back with me."

"Don't touch me." Lianxi Zhuo was very drunk, but he still recognized the person in front of him.

He accumulated strength for a while, intending to slap Ji Huaichen's approaching paw away.

........Dizzy.

Not photographed.

His own hand fell on the corner of the table and a piece was blacked out.

Ji Huaichen was helpless, and just wanted to be tough, so he carried it back and fed him some hangover soup to finish.

Unexpectedly, Grand Master Lian stood up unsteadily, and pushed him against the screen with all his might.

"They all said that I beat my father, my mother, and my sister. General, you are so far away from me, are you afraid that one day, I will kill you too?"
