The wind blows the plum blossoms over Guanshan

"Meng Shilang, Your Majesty announces your audience." Eunuch Gao's shrill voice sounded from behind, Chang Sheng was shocked and put down the pen in his hand.After so many years, he still can't get used to this kind of voice.He put away the half-drawn painting, cupped his hands and said: "I know, I have to thank Eunuch Gao."

A year has passed since that night, and now Changsheng has reached the age of weak crown.Everyone in the court knows that he is a minister who has made great contributions to calming the chaos, and he has always been close to His Majesty, and his father also holds a high position. Now their Meng family has become the object of many people's rivalry.Murong Zhaohui fulfilled his promise and made Changsheng a servant, with a fourth-rank official residence.The official position of Meng Hun, the father of longevity, remained the same, but his rank was raised from the third rank to the second rank, and he was given a lot of money.It is enviable that the Meng family has become a big family in the court.

As a servant, Chang Sheng's job is to be in charge of His Majesty's daily life and all the big and small matters around him. Occasionally, he also drafts orders and participates in government affairs.It stands to reason that it would be more convenient for such a job to live in the palace, but Chang Sheng asked the decree to live at home and live with his father.So the father-in-law in the palace became a frequent visitor to Sikong's mansion, and the servants were no strangers to it.

"Longevity," Meng Sikong looked at the sky, and said whether it was sooner or later, it was not time for dinner. "Your Majesty is announcing you to enter the palace at this time, and he should keep you for dinner." Chang Sheng nodded.Meng Sikong continued: "Then I will ask Aunt Zhang to cook one less meal. Are you coming back tonight?"

"I don't know, I should come back. If you don't come back, don't wait for me."

Changsheng went back to his room and changed into his court clothes, boarded the sedan chair prepared by the palace, and headed towards the palace.

In the civil war a year ago, Murong Zhaohui finally won and ascended the throne, known as Emperor Zhao.After ascension to the throne, Murong Xingping, the first Wu king who rebelled, was executed, while Murong Kangding, the king of Nanping, was placed under house arrest in the Nanping palace and could not leave the palace for life.King Fengxiang changed the title to Tianshui County. Although the designation has not been removed, the real power has been weakened a lot, and there is no rich fiefdom.As for the Murong Dexin and Murong Zhi who claimed to be dead, Changsheng knew that they were still alive, but they were powerless to contend with Murong Zhaohui.After Murong Zhi was rescued by Chi Lu, there was no news about Murong Dexin, and Murong Dexin was imprisoned in the former cold palace. Murong Zhaohui would visit him occasionally. Of course, Murong Dexin would not want to see Murong Zhaohui.

The sedan chair stopped at the edge of Miyagi.Changsheng opened the curtain, got out of the sedan chair, and walked slowly through the long palace road to Qingxin Hall, the residence of the emperor.When the palace people saw him coming, they retreated one after another, and there was no one in the hall.A red-haired fox curled up in the corner, wagging its fluffy tail from time to time, seemed a little sullen.It has been five years since Changsheng caught Xiaohong, plus its original age, it is still an old fox.The weather has been hot recently, and it has shed a lot of hair, and there is a small piece of baldness on its back, so it is not willing to go out.Only now did Changsheng realize that apart from being lustful, it turned out to be a stinky fox.

A pair of slender hands held Xiao Hong into her arms, and the hem of her clothes was embroidered with golden dragon patterns, and the complex dark flowers were particularly charming under the illumination of the palace lanterns.The man's long hair was untied, and a piece of blue silk hung loose, like smooth satin.Every time Changsheng sees her, he always wants to touch his hair to see if it is as soft as it looks. Of course, he just thinks about it.Murong Zhaohui is 23, if he is not more heroic, Chang Sheng thinks he is more charming.Such a majesty would be coveted by others, such as him.

Murong Zhaohui stroked Xiaohong's head, Xiaohong cried out and buried her head in his arms.Sometimes, Changsheng is still very envious of this little beast.

"Time is so fast, Xiaohong is getting old. Changsheng, you have grown even more." Murong Zhaohui said.

There are many versions of the rumors about the two of them, but Chang Sheng knows that they are not one of any versions.

Murong Zhaohui had just sat on the throne for a year, and there was only Lian Yi in the palace. It was rumored that Murong Zhaohui never stayed with her overnight, only watching her dance occasionally.Although Lian Yi is a concubine, she has no favors, and Chang Sheng knows it.Murong Zhaohui was so focused on government affairs that he seldom paid attention to other things.Changsheng even felt that Murong Zhaohui didn't seem to want to have children at the moment. He had said more than once that too many children would not be able to take care of all the children, and would turn brothers against each other.Murong Zhaohui may want a child, but Lian Yi is not the best candidate for the child's mother.

Such a situation made Changsheng feel a little relieved, but fell into even greater helplessness.

He is not someone else's, but it is not his after all.

Murong Zhaohui often declared Changsheng to meet him, and ordered him to accompany him to have meals, stroll around the Imperial Garden and Red Lotus Pond, and occasionally stay overnight with Changsheng to talk about the past or the future.Changsheng knew that Murong Zhaohui was very lonely alone.However, in the eyes of others, such behavior is particularly meaningful.Especially since His Majesty is not very fond of women.

"Changsheng, the sky is getting dark, order someone to bring the dinner."

"Yes."

There were rumors in the palace that he had charmed His Majesty, causing His Majesty to neglect Concubine Lian.Some people also said that he was here long before Concubine Lian, and Concubine Lian was just a cover used by His Majesty to coax people.Behind him, there are similar unbearable rumors.He didn't know how much Murong Zhaohui knew, and he was even a little confused.If Murong Zhaohui listened to those gossip, would he be left in the cold?Or did he already know?

Xiao Hong was carried down by Xiao Shuang to be fed, and there were only two people left in the hall.The cooking skills of the royal chef in the palace are still first-class, but he thinks that Aunt Zhang's dishes are more flavorful.The palace is just an exquisite cage, and they are all trapped in it, unable to get out.If they were still in Chudi now, he might be able to travel with Murong Zhaohui often, just like back then, but now it is impossible.

"Changsheng, I heard people say that you are very interested in painting recently." Murong Zhaohui asked casually.Changsheng replied: "It's just drawing some flowers and plants to pass the time." Seeing that Changsheng was dressed like a court, Murong Zhaohui continued: "You don't need to wear court clothes when you come to see me, and it's not early court." Changsheng replied yes, and then lowered his voice head to go.

"Are you still thinking about him?"

"Ah? Who?"

Murong Zhaohui sighed: "Forget it, let's stop talking, let's go for a walk."

The night is low and the moon is high.The silvery moonlight shines on the path of the imperial garden. At this time, the peonies are in full bloom, and the fragrance is overflowing, which is fascinating.Murong Zhaohui was in front, and Chang Sheng paced slowly behind him.The moonlight was bright tonight, and the moonlight was bright enough for him to see the color of peony flowers clearly.These peonies were newly planted by Murong Zhaohui after he ascended the throne, and a large area of ​​one species was planted.The peony is graceful and luxurious, and it is perfect to be planted in the royal garden.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Lian is asking to see you." At this moment, Eunuch Gao reminded from behind the two of them.

Murong Zhaohui turned his head, thought for a while, and said, "I haven't seen Concubine Lian for quite a while."

Seeing that Murong Zhaohui had opinions on Concubine Lian, Eunuch Gao said happily: "Concubine Lian said that the moonlight is just right tonight, and she has prepared cakes by the red lotus pond, and invites you to watch the moon with her."

"Go and talk to Concubine Lian, I'll be there later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing Eunuch Gao happily heading towards the Red Lotus Pond, Chang Sheng said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

Murong Zhaohui patted Chang Sheng's shoulder: "The envoys of the Qiang Kingdom will arrive in Longcheng in a few days, remember to go to the Ministry of Rites to have a look."

"Yes."

The moonlight was bright and clear, shining on Changsheng's young and pale cheeks, like tears.He sighed and walked slowly towards the palace gate.It's not my own, after all, it's not my own...

One year after the war, the country of Yan hadn't fully recovered from the chaos of the war, but the streets of Longcheng had returned to their former bustle.When Changsheng left the palace gate, he didn't sit in the sedan chair prepared for him by the palace man, but walked slowly to the busiest street nearby.Squeezing into the crowd, listening to the sound of bargaining around, my heart seems to be much more stable.However, he was wearing court clothes, which seemed a bit eye-catching.The next time I enter the palace, I won't wear court clothes, because that person doesn't like it anyway.

"Changsheng! Are you Changsheng?"

Changsheng turned his head and saw a young man about his age standing behind him. Changsheng recognized him for a while, but he didn't think he knew him.Seeing that Changsheng was puzzled, the young man hurriedly said: "I knew you wouldn't recognize me. My father and brother didn't recognize me when I came back this time. I, Zhao Guangyu."

"What? Zhao Guangyu! You are Zhao Guangyu?" Chang Sheng asked in surprise.He clearly remembered that Zhao Guangyu was a fun-loving ugly fat man, why did he become like this? "Why...why are you so thin?" Chang Sheng looked him up and down. The man in front of him was evenly fat and thin, and his facial features seemed to have grown out. He looked much better than before.Although Zhao's father looks shabby, his mother is a beauty, and his two elder brothers are also good-looking, but he is the most ugly, it seems that he is not ugly.

Zhao Guangyu scratched his head and said, "You know, His Highness the Fifth Prince... so I also suffered a little and lost weight."

Murong Kangding was imprisoned in the feudal land for the rebellion and suffered a lot. Zhao Guangyu probably suffered a lot from following him.Speaking of this, Changsheng remembered that Zhao Guangyu's father and his two elder brothers had quietly handed over papers to Murong Zhaohui several times. It seemed that the discussion was about this matter.This kid is really lucky, and he will be back in just a year.

Zhao Guangyu was still the same as when he was a child, when he saw Changsheng he was all smiles: "Changsheng, you are really getting more and more handsome!"

Chang Sheng was a little embarrassed, and said casually: "Where is it, you are getting more and more handsome."

Zhao Guangyu said happily: "Really? My father, my mother, and my brother all said that! But Changsheng, you said this sentence, which makes me the happiest!"

"...you...are you out to play today?"

"That's right, I just returned to Dragon City yesterday, and I'm out for a walk today. Changsheng, did you just come back from court?"

"Oh, yes, let's take a stroll."

"Let's go together!"

"what?"

"Let's go shopping together." Zhao Guangyu eagerly took Changsheng's hand.

"Ah, okay."

Changsheng let go of his hand inadvertently, and walked slowly to the other side of the street with Zhao Guangyu.Although Zhao Guangyu used to be Murong Kangding's person, but at present, he should separate himself from Murong Kangding.

"Changsheng, I haven't been back for a long time, it's really kind to see you."

"Changsheng, you are much taller than before. Can you grow taller by practicing more martial arts? I also want to practice martial arts when I go back!"

"Changsheng, do you know that when I was in Nanping, I often missed you, and I missed things when I was a child..."

With Changsheng Fu's forehead, Zhao Guangyu is still the same as before, which is really annoying.But... some days in the past are really nostalgic.Changsheng liked the days when he went to Chudi with Murong Zhaohui the most. Of course, he also missed the time when he first entered the palace and met Murong Zhaohui.Murong Zhaohui at that time was a bit different from now, and he couldn't say what was different.Maybe... I am not the same as before.
