Raise an emperor as a villain

But it was said that Empress Zhou wanted to see Ming Lang, so she sent someone to deliver a letter the next day, and Ming Lang entered the palace with his companion Gu Xueting at noon that day.After the death of Emperor Ying, King Qing sympathized with Queen Zhou's sadness, so he allowed Ming Lang to enter the palace at any time, so Ming Lang could go to Queen Zhou's side in time.

Originally Ming Lang lived in Jinghe Palace with his mother, but in recent years Ming Lang got older, Emperor Rui became somewhat wary.He didn't want him to stay with Queen Zhou anymore, so he gave him a house and asked him to move out of the palace, and promised to make him a king when he was sixteen.

So after Ming Lang left the palace at the age of ten, he couldn't see Empress Zhou often, and could only enter the palace once every three days. Of course, compared to his elder brother Ming Jue, he was still very lucky.

"Xue Ting, you said that the Empress was in a hurry to call me over early in the morning, could it be that there is something going on in Jinghe Palace?" Ming Lang asked Gu Xueting slightly worried.

"Your Highness, don't be anxious. It seems that the Empress misses His Highness, and nothing will happen." Gu Xueting persuaded with a gentle smile.

Ming Lang was a little relieved when he heard the words, Gu Xueting was a few years older than him, he was always gentle and polite, and his words were a bit more convincing than others.

Empress Zhou had been looking forward to it early in the morning, and when the palace servants reported Minglang's arrival, she immediately went out and held his hand.

"Lang'er, you're finally here, why are you here so late?" Queen Zhou walked in a hurry, the silver hairpin on her head was shaking.

"Empress Mother, I know my mistake. Because I read too late last night, I didn't get up in the morning." Ming Lang explained.

Empress Zhou looked at Gu Xueting inquiringly when she heard the words, Ming Lang had always been a martial artist and never liked reading since he was a child, so she suspected that what he said was a lie.

Gu Xueting received the probing gaze of Empress Zhou, stepped forward to salute and said: "That's true, Your Highness knows that your mother has complicated affairs today, so she doesn't dare to slack off, and works extra hard."

"Well," Queen Zhou nodded in satisfaction when she heard the words, and said approvingly: "It is also because of your support, he has always been the most disobedient to discipline, and only you can persuade him."

"I dare not take credit." Gu Xueting humbled himself and thanked him.

"You go to the outside room to have tea! Bengong and Lang'er talk about something alone." Queen Zhou ordered lightly, and after speaking, she dragged Ming Lang into the inner room.

Seeing this, Pei Xin hurriedly asked someone to serve tea to Gu Xueting, took it and served it with her own hands: "Young Master Gu, please have some tea."

"Thank you, aunt." Gu Xueting took the tea and started to sip it slowly.

After about two hours, Ming Lang walked out with a bitter face, and asked Gu Xueting to go with him without saying a word.

Gu Xueting didn't know why, and didn't dare to ask more rashly, so he had to leave immediately.

After leaving the Jinghe Palace and approaching the Qianqing Gate, Gu Xueting asked cautiously: "What's wrong, Your Highness? You look worried."

"I'm not the queen mother yet, so she called me over and gave me another lesson. Xue Ting, tell me, have I been very peaceful recently, but the queen mother is still... Sigh." Ming Lang was still young, and he was still very young, so he got angry. Lai Xing's eyes are also full of grievances.

"Your Highness, if you think about it, the empress is just teaching you a few words. How come your Highness is admonishing you?"

"Have you heard, how do you know that the mother just taught me a few words?" Ming Lang's attention was diverted, he opened his eyes wide and asked curiously.

"You don't need to listen to know, the empress loves His Highness like a pearl in her eyes, how can she be willing to reprimand him cruelly?"

"You're right." Ming Lang couldn't get angry after being persuaded by Gu Xueting's few words, but he was still sullen in his heart, he only pulled his handsome face long, and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Gu Xueting only thought it was funny, Minglang's youthful disposition was really extremely cute.

"Your Highness, if Your Highness is still not happy, how about I accompany you to the Imperial Garden for a stroll? When the time comes, go directly out of Shenwu Gate, and you don't have to come back." Gu Xueting coaxed softly.

"Okay!" Ming Lang was no longer entangled when he heard the words, and showed his happy face again.It was true that Empress Zhou just taught him a few words, and she just asked him to stay in the mansion honestly when he was in the wind.

Ming Lang and Gu Xueting walked towards the Shenwu Gate together, but unexpectedly met King Qing's team on the way.The avoidance of the blue sky and the bright sun cannot be avoided, Ming Lang can only go forward to salute, after all King Qing is older than him.

"Brother Qing, please greet Brother Qing."

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness King Qing." Gu Xueting also saluted, but his eyes dodged.

King Qing had no interest in Ming Lang at first, but seeing Gu Xueting by his side, he involuntarily told people to stop.

"Did Brother Lang go to Queen Zhou's place?" King Qing chatted with Ming Lang, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Xueting beside Ming Lang.

Gu Xueting, as his name suggests, always likes to wear a plain white brocade robe with a few black bamboo embroidered on it, he really is a gentleman like jade, and makes people feel happy when they see it.

But Ming Lang didn't notice any abnormality, and replied: "Yes, the empress scolded me again."

King Qing smiled when he heard this, Ming Lang was 16 years old, he was born in the royal family but he was still so naive and arrogant, it has to be said that Empress Zhou took good care of him.

"Brother Lang, don't be depressed. When I have time, I will take you to Shanglinyuan to hunt." King Qing comforted casually.

"Okay, okay, I haven't gone hunting since the emperor's uncle got sick!" Ming Lang said happily, and put aside all the unhappiness he had just had.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Qing is busy with government affairs, so where does he have time to go hunting? Besides, Shanglin Garden is the place where the emperor hunts, and now the emperor can't go there when he's sick. If you want to hunt, you can tell your mother another day, let's go to the capital to find it." Just a hunting ground." Gu Xueting persuaded.

"It's Gu who didn't think carefully, thanks to Mr. Gu reminding him." King Qing apologized, secretly admiring in his heart, he really had a seven-aperture exquisite heart, and he was so cautious in everything.He also thought that it might be related to Gu Xueting's status as a concubine. Wasn't he also cautious in everything and every step in the past?

Thinking in this way, she has a little more intimacy with Gu Xueting, but it's hard to say because of Ming Lang's presence.

"In that case, Brother Lang, the magistrate of Qinzhou had an audience with him the other day and gave Gu a good bow. But Gu is not good at this way, and it would be a waste to leave it alone. How about giving it to you?" King Qing changed his mind.

Hearing the words, Ming Lang was indeed aroused interest, he hated reading, but he liked bowing horse riding and shooting the most. Hearing that there was a good bow, his eyes lit up immediately.

"where is it?"

Seeing Minglang's eagerness, King Qing couldn't help laughing and said, "It's in the East Palace, and I'll send someone to fetch it right away."

Ming Lang was very happy when he heard that, and replied: "No need, no need, I'll just follow them to get it." After saying that, he wanted to go there with King Qing's men, and he didn't forget to turn to Gu Xueting and say, "Xue Ting, you wait for me here for a while, I will come when I go."

Although Gu Xueting didn't want him to go alone, but the deal was done, he had no choice but to stay and wait.

Unexpectedly, King Qing did not leave, instead he found a nearby stone stool and sat down, then stretched out his hand and beckoned Gu Xueting over.

"What is His Royal Highness Qing's order?" Gu Xueting asked respectfully.

"Mr. Gu, don't be so cautious, sit down and talk!" King Qing stretched out his hand and patted the stool beside him, actually wanting Gu Xueting to sit beside him.

Gu Xueting looked around cautiously, and found that King Qing's subordinates were guarding in the distance, and there was only him and King Qing facing each other here.So I became extremely cautious in my heart, how dare I respond.

"If you don't dare, just stand up and answer."

"Sit down if Gu told you to sit down. Could it be that Gu is a tiger who can eat you?" As he spoke, he grabbed Gu Xueting's slender wrist and forced him to sit beside him.

"I don't dare, it's because I'm guilty." Gu Xueting hastily pleaded guilty. King Qing has been in power for a long time, and he is always not angry but also has a three-pointed majesty.

"Gu doesn't blame you." King Qing sighed softly, and said, "Now everyone respects and fears Gu, is it the same for you?"

"The minister is naturally like this." Gu Xueting said with a low eyebrow, as a minister, there is nothing wrong with saying this.

King Qing frowned when he heard the words, and his expression was quite displeased, and he said in a muffled voice: "You know that Gu sees you differently from others, if in the past Gu would not talk to you like this, but now..."

Why didn't King Qing continue to talk now, but Gu Xueting understood what he meant at the moment, now that he is in charge of governing the country, one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, maybe in a few days he will be crowned the Ninth Five.Now he no longer has to hide anything, what he likes and dislikes, he can say it frankly.

Seeing that Gu Xueting was silent, King Qing said again: "Gu knows that you have a clever mind and is comparable to ordinary people, so I never want to belittle you. Until now, Gu still has this meaning, and it has not changed. There is only one thing I want to persuade you, Xiao Ming. Although Lang treats you very well, what can he give you, and what can he give to the Gu family?" After talking about it, he became a little emotional.

Gu Xueting was still calm when he heard the words, stood up and took a step back, bowed and said: "The words of His Royal Highness King Qing, I have always remembered them in my heart, thinking that my Highness will be back soon, I will leave." After all, I did not wait. After King Qing spoke, he withdrew by himself.

Gu Xueting has always been courteous, and has never done such a disrespectful thing, so after he left, his heart was still beating non-stop, and it was not until Minglang that he calmed down a little.

Ming Lang had already got the excellent bow, and his expression was filled with obvious joy. Seeing that King Qing was still there, he thanked him again and again, and took Gu Xueting to leave.
