Mirror of the Sky

When Zhou Tang came to the platform to supervise Luo Mu to drink the medicine, he saw a bunch of portraits of women spread out in front of Luo Mu, frowning and thinking about something.

Zhou Tang's expression was complicated, and his tone was a little low, "Master Guoshi is going to get married?"

Luo Mu was taken aback when he saw Zhou Tang coming in person, and then he understood when he saw the palace man holding the medicine bowl behind him.

He dozed off last time, missed the medicine for a while, let it cool down and didn't drink it, and as a result, he coughed badly at dinner that day. Zhou Tang was angry and angry, and reprimanded the palace servants who served Luo Mu, explaining that he had to look at the medicine in the future. Follow Luo Mu to take medicine.As for Zhou Tang, when he is free, he likes to come and supervise him in person.

Luo Mu thought it was funny, but he didn't want to contradict Zhou Tang, let alone think that Zhou Tang was making a fuss out of a molehill.Now he only wants to keep every bit of Zhou Tang's good in his heart, the most important thing is that he can't bear to sing against him.

"Drink the medicine first." Luo Mu was about to answer, but his mouth was blocked by the medicine bowl that Zhou Tang handed to his mouth.

Luo Mu obediently took the medicine bowl, and immediately warmed his palms, took a sip to test the temperature, and said, "It's not that I want to get married, it's that Your Majesty should get married."

Zhou Tang stopped talking immediately and looked at Luo Mu quietly.

And Luo Mu lowered his head and drank the medicine slowly, he didn't know if he didn't know that Zhou Tang was looking at him, or... he didn't dare to look up.

Zhou Tang kept silent, Luo Mu sips again, and finished a bowl of medicine.

As soon as Luo Mu put down the medicine bowl, Zhou Tang handed over a handkerchief. Luo Mu glanced at Zhou Tang, took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

Luo Mude admitted that he couldn't understand Zhou Tang more and more.Not only did Zhou Tang grow up, but he also became more thoughtful, and he no longer easily revealed his emotions in front of him.

Only occasionally, occasionally, the way Zhou Tang laughed, Luo Mu would feel that he was still the innocent little prince who was walking on thin ice when he was a child.

It's just that there is no shadow of the sticky and dirty little prince anymore...

That's why Luo Mu didn't have the courage to put all his eggs in one basket and trust Zhou Tang.

Because he felt in his heart that the relationship between the two of them was different from when they were teenagers after all.

But Luo Mu didn't think it was bad. On the contrary, he felt that this was normal, and for them, this was the best state.

The righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, not any other feelings that should not be had.

The palace servants took away the medicine bowl, and Luo Mu hesitated and said, "Your Majesty...Miss Ding San...is not suitable for you."

"Oh?" Zhou Tang looked at Luo Mu in surprise, with anticipation in his heart, and Luo Mu's next words shattered his delusion once again.

"Miss Ding San's face and fate do not match His Majesty." Luo Mu paused, and said, "If Your Majesty values ​​the Ding family, Miss Ding Er Youyi is a better choice."

Zhou Tang's eyelashes trembled, he turned his face away, and bit his back molars, why...why did he... dare not?

Luo Mu didn't dare...and he didn't dare...

Without Luo Mu explaining, Zhou Tang also knew what Luo Mu was worried about.What Luo Mu was afraid of was ruining the reputation of the king of a country. He was also afraid that Zhou Tang would have someone else in the future, and he was even more afraid that Zhou Tang's blood would be cut off because of himself.

It's not that Zhou Tang didn't think about it, but he didn't pay attention to what Luo Mu worried about, and he wasn't afraid at all.

What he was really afraid of was Luo Mu's stubborn rejection.He is afraid of losing him, so he has never been able to screw his master.

Fear arises from love, and even the desire to retreat arises from the heart.

Forget it, not being together... It's okay not being together... It's just a short life, and it will pass in a blink of an eye.As long as that person is always within his reach.

So accompanied, but also contented.

"That's it..." Zhou Tang clenched his fist hanging by his side, suppressing the choking in his throat, and said as calmly as possible: "Then let's choose Miss Ding Er."

Luo Mu felt a pain in his heart, and looked at Zhou Tang suddenly, and turned his head in a panic before Zhou Tang looked over, "Oh... ok... ok!"

Luo Mu was eager to cover up, and held up the portrait of Miss Ding Er in front of him, "Painting, portrait... Your Majesty, let's take a look first."

But Zhou Tang grabbed Luo Mu's slightly trembling hand. Luo Mu was startled, his body collapsed in an instant, and he looked at Zhou Tang.

But Zhou Tang didn't look at him, just grabbed his hand lightly, and smiled slightly: "It's warm, it seems that I really need to stare at you and drink the medicine."

After speaking, Zhou Tang let go of his hand, took the portrait and unfolded it. After a while, he said, "It's pretty good."

Luo Mu raised his heart, and fell back again, and fell to pieces immediately.What is he looking forward to?He is nothing but a coward, what right does he have to expect Zhou Tang to walk towards him fearlessly...

Luo Mu lowered his head and closed his eyes, and even smiled slightly, "The other concubines, will His Majesty choose them together? I have selected a lot of official daughters with good horoscopes."

Zhou Tang put the portrait back on the table and said, "Next time, Master Guo Shi can hand over the results of the orders to Master Liu."

Zhou Tang stood up as he said, "It's time for dinner. Master Guoshi, do you want to go to Zichen Hall for dinner with me?"

Luo Mu looked up at him and shook his head, "I have something to do at home today..."

In the past, Zhou Tang wouldn't ask him that. For more than half a year, if there were no accidents, the two of them would go to Zichen Hall for dinner together.But if Zhou Tang asked this today, it meant waiting for him to refuse.

Zhou Tang really didn't have the heart to eat with him anymore, so even though Luo Mu's excuse was so lame, Zhou Tang didn't question it, turned and left the platform.

Luo Mu looked at the open door, and the early spring wind slowly poured in. He looked down at his hands, lightly clenched his fists, and whispered softly: "It's not warm at all..."

It's time to be on duty, Luo Mu didn't move, he closed the door and pushed open the north facing window of the East Palace.

The wall of a courtyard in the south of the East Palace is bordered by Lanyuetai. If you climb up the wall along the trees next to the wall, you can climb to the second floor of Lanyuetai, and then step on the railings and climb along the corridor pillars to go up to the third floor.

Back then, there was a child who walked this route over and over again, and quietly climbed up to the platform...

Luo Mu helped the child step on the window sill, thinking about how bold and cautious he was at a young age, with a vigorous figure climbing the stairs, quietly fascinated.

It wasn't until it was dark that the palace guard knocked on the door gently that Luo Mu came back to his senses.

There was no light in the room, after Luo Mu answered, the palace servant came in with a lantern.

"Master National Teacher, you are really here! The villain just went to the National Teacher's Mansion and couldn't find you, but the villain was very anxious!"

Luo Mu didn't understand, so, he didn't return to the Imperial Master's Mansion, what is there to worry about in this palace?

Then I heard the palace man say: "Your Majesty's servants are served in the palace. Your Majesty ordered wine for dinner. After so long, he refuses to come out, and he won't let the little ones in to serve..."

Luo Muteng stood up abruptly, feeling dizzy for a moment, raised his hand to stroke his forehead, and asked after a while, "How much did you drink?"

"The ten jars of spirits have all been moved in, and His Majesty won't let them in, and I don't know how much they drank." The palace man tremblingly said: "The room is full of wine smell, and the sound of wine jars breaking and breaking... "

It is well known that Master Guoshi and His Majesty have a good relationship, and the servants in Zichen Palace know it better. After all, they eat together every day, and His Majesty often serves dishes for Master Guoshi himself.

It's not that the palace people haven't guessed that His Majesty Xinyue Princess Baohua's story is fake, but His Majesty and the National Teacher have never had any intimate behavior in front of the palace people, and the National Teacher has never stayed in the palace. They didn't dare to speculate, and the palace people even less dared to speak nonsense.

But now, there is no hostess in His Majesty's palace who can call the shots, so the chief manager, Eunuch Bao, sent them to find the master of the country.

Luo Mu heard that Zhou Tang ordered ten altars of strong wine to stuff himself in the room, so he hurriedly walked out, the palace servants hurriedly followed, and there were two palace maids outside holding umbrellas and lanterns to lead the way, and the party People hurried to Zichen Hall.

It was only then that Luo Mu realized that the wind was blowing outside, and the sky was terribly dark. A group of people walked halfway, and the bean-heavy raindrops fell, and the palace servants immediately opened an umbrella for Luo Mu to cover his head.

A group of palace people guarded the door silently. Seeing that Luo Mu had arrived, Eunuch Bao bravely stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Knock-"

With a bang, another wine jar shattered.

Immediately after a thunderclap sounded, Luo Mu also shook.He had never seen Zhou Tang like this.Luo Mu looked at Eunuch Bao, and Eunuch Bao shook his head. He has been by His Majesty's side for ten years, and he has never seen His Majesty lose such a temper, even when he was so angry by the courtiers that he couldn't eat... No matter what ...

Luo Mu exhaled, stepped forward, and called out to the door: "Your Majesty—"

There was no sound in the room, Luo Mu was actually a little angry in his heart, drinking and losing his temper, not caring about his body, just like a child.

However, he couldn't bear to lose his temper with Zhou Tang.

"Your Majesty—" Luo Mu called a second time, and the door opened.

Zhou Tang also couldn't bear to let Luo Mu coax him in a low voice outside the door in front of so many palace people.

As soon as the door opened, all the people in the palace lowered their heads. Luo Mu quickly walked in and closed the door behind him.

Zhou Tang's current appearance is terrible and embarrassing, which is not easy for people to see.

The two stood just a few steps away from the door, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Zhou Tang smelled like alcohol, his eyes were red, and the skin around his eyes was also red, as if he had drunk a lot.

Luo Mu glanced at the long table where dinner was placed. The wine jars beside the table were opened twice, smashed three times, the wine spilled all over the floor, and there were still five unopened jars.

When Luo Mu looked around the room, Zhou Tang also turned his gaze, probably aware of his embarrassment, Zhou Tang touched his face, "Why did you call me here?" He turned and walked inside.

Luo Mu followed, "Why do you drink so much..."

Go through the two doors and go to Zhou Tang's bedroom in the back hall.

There was a washstand next to the bronze mirror, and there was clear water in the basin. Zhou Tang touched his face with the water, sat down on the bench, covered his face with a face towel, feeling deeply ashamed.

Luo Mu stepped forward, wanted to reach out to touch his hair, but then retracted it, "I thought... you wouldn't see me either."

Zhou Tang tore off the scarf: "Why?"

Zhou Tang looked at Luo Mu. His upper body was fine, but the clothes and shoes below were wet. Zhou Tang frowned, and reached out to hold Luo Mu's cold hand, "It's raining outside? I don't know how to wear clothes when I go out A robe, so little to enter the palace."

Luo Mu let him pull, "I came from the platform."

Zhou Tang raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you go back?"

Luo Mu shook his head, "Fall asleep." He still lied and found a reason for himself.

"Then there's no need for dinner yet?" Zhou Tang sighed angrily, not knowing what to do with him.

The cold hand was covered with heat, Zhou Tang let go of it, lowered his head and said, "Go back, I didn't mean to ask you to feel sorry for me..."

"It's just..." Zhou Tang stood up, turned his back and walked to the side of the bed, "It's just a moment of boredom. I won't drink anymore."

Luo Mu looked at Zhou Tang's back quietly, then turned around to face the door, and said dryly, "Okay, I... I'm going back."

While saying this, Luo Mu walked towards the door without moving a step.

Zhou Tang waited for a while, but didn't hear Luo Mu going out, turned around and looked at Luo Mu's stiff back.

Another thunder rang out, Luo Mu shook his head and looked out the window.Zhou Tang suddenly strode forward and hugged him tightly from behind.

When the warm chest was pressed against him, Luo Mu's eyes turned red instantly.

Zhou Tang smelled of wine, while Luo Mu smelled of medicine.

Zhou Tang buried his head in his neck and sniffed, then rubbed his lips against his ears, like a light kiss.Then he let go of his embrace, supported Luo Mu's shoulders with both hands, and pushed him forward a step.

"Let's go." Zhou Tang's voice choked up, "We... are still the same as before. You will be your master of the state, and I will be a good emperor... just like the promise when I was a child."

Luo Mu didn't move, just when Zhou Tang pushed him, his tears fell down.

He hadn't cried since his brother died.

In the years of fighting on the battlefield, no matter how seriously injured he was, he never shed tears.

Now, the 28-year-old boy cried because of Zhou Tang's action.

And what Zhou Tang said afterwards made Luo Mu completely lose the breath to hold on.

"I, I won't live long..." He trembled, tears poured down his face, and his voice was intermittent, "You...what should you do? I want to take you...what should I do?"
