It gets weirder and weirder.
In the past, it was always Xue Yuan who was the one who wanted to take advantage of His Holiness, and His Holiness was the one who punished Xue Yuan. As a result, once the Holy Lord said these words, Xue Yuan looked at the jade block he was holding in his hand, and even though his heart was incredibly hot, his face was somewhat confused.
Gu Yuanbai looked at Xue Yuan's face and finally couldn't hold back and snorted out a laugh.
He picked up the jade power for an instant and put it down again, laughing too much but forgetting that he was weak and powerless, crouching on Xue Yuan's back and unable to straighten up.
Xue Yuan was confused for a while before he came back to his senses, his handsome face was composed, but he couldn't stop his face from heating up, "Your Majesty, how did I react?"
"Quite good," Gu Yuanbai's voice trembled with laughter, "Xue Qing, there is no one better at cooperating with me than you."
Xue Yuan couldn't help but turn to look at him, pulling the emperor, who was weak from laughing, into his arms and sitting on his lap, smoothing out his breath, originally wanting to say how you tricked me, but when the words came out of his mouth, it was a muffled voice that said, "Your Holiness, I haven't seen you in three months, and I've missed you so much."
Gu Yuanbai held his clothes, tried his best to slow his breath, and said weakly, "General Xue is in the northern border, and he still has the strength to gallop back to the capital, saying that he misses me, but in reality, he is only trying to satisfy his own selfish desires."
He read the letter from Xue Yuan.
Xue Yuan is such a proud person, but for Gu Yuanbai, he keeps practicing the way to serve him. The words in the letter, "I'm useful, I'm good with my hands," really make people want to laugh and make their hearts ache at the same time.
Such an attitude of behavior, like it or not, Gu Yuanbai respected a heart of his.
Tian Fusheng once said with Gu Yuanbai, said Xue adult is ready to bear the favor of the preparation. Gu Yuanbai heard but only wanted to laugh, Xue Yuan looked at him like a wolf like a tiger, wanting to devour him into the abdomen, such a person, can not get him will not be at ease.
But also because of Tian Fusheng's words, brought Gu Yuanbai a few new thoughts of interest, Xue Yuan's feelings like fire, always invading, but if Gu Yuanbai also give molestation back, what would be his expression?
Now that I know, it's the dumbfounded look.
Fun.
Gu Yuanbai laughed for a while longer, his face propped against Xue Yuan's neck, his body trembling. Xue Yuan smelled the flavor of his hair and stroked his back, ''Selfish desire is to think of you, dreaming of you at night is already a common occurrence. I heard in the northern border that you are going to marry your consort, this news can be spread from the capital to the northern border, do you know what mood I was in?"
He murmured out of breath, "Your Holiness, I'm afraid that if I'm a step behind, everything will be too late."
Gu Yuanbai slowed down his energy and got up to leave from Xue Yuan, who also got up to follow him.
But as soon as he stood up, the place where he had been sat upon a little by His Holiness shone with him.
Brightly, Gu Yuanbai's afterglow glanced and froze. Xue Yuan looked serious: "Your Holiness, I drank too much tea, and people have three urgencies."
The palace attendant wanted to take Xue Yuan forward to go to the toilet, but Xue Yuan refused without changing his face and remained by the side of the saint without leaving.
"People in the palace said that His Majesty has made a kang bed," the words are all hints, "I really have never seen this thing, and my heart is doubly curious. I wonder if I could stay in the palace tonight and try this warming object?"
Gu Yuanbai sat down and slowly drank his soup, and when Xue Yuan saw that he didn't speak, he changed his words again.
"I received the box of flowers that His Majesty rewarded me with," the corners of Xue Yuan's mouth could not help but raise, his heart and mouth followed the sweetness, "I didn't bother to eat more along the way, the flowers were sweet, and the aroma lingered on for a long time."
"Then Xue Qing will eat slowly," Gu Yuanbai gave him a sidelong glance, "You'll get panicky if you don't eat? Then eat a little more every day."
Xue Yuan laughed, "Yes, I've made a note of it."
While talking, the two wolves that were brought out by the palace staff to feed had already come over, they smelled the smell of Xue Yuan's body from a long distance, and when they got closer, they forcefully broke away from the palace staff and ran towards Xue Yuan with a howl.
Xue Yuan frowned and lifted his foot to kick them aside, "Is this how they treat Your Majesty when I am not here?"
"Rather less enthusiastic," Gu Yuanbai put down the soup and stretched out a hand towards Wolf Pi, "Come here."
Those two wolves that had been kicked and whimpered by Xue Yuan immediately forgot about their former masters and ran upside down to the saint, pampering themselves and licking the saint's hand.
It was as if they were licking a tender bone with flesh attached, the tip of their tongues going from their palms to their fingers, their scarlet tongues curling just a little to roll the thin white fingers three by two into their mouths.
Xue Yuan's brows tightened in displeasure.
"Next month is the day of the Martial Arts Examination," Gu Yuanbai didn't see his expression and said slowly, "If you're fine, you'll follow along that time, and go see if you can get a few good seedlings."
"Yes," Xue Yuan stared intently at the tongues of the two wolves, "Has His Holiness been in the palace these past few days?"
Gu Yuanbai thought for a moment, "I'd like to go out and take a look in a few days, if I remember correctly, aren't the Ministry of the Household and the Hall of Government going to organize a cuju tournament?"
Tian Fusheng quickly replied: "is so. Some days ago I also heard the Councillor said, the Ministry of Household officials but to the Hall of Government clamor for a long time, the Councillor held a breath, must be good to take the officials in the Cuju tournament to give a kick back."
Gu Yuanbai laughed, "Good ambition!"
"The two lords have set the day of the Cuju tournament on a day of rest, just two days from now," Tian Fusheng asked, "Your Holiness, would you like to go and see it?"
"Go and see," Gu Yuanbai nodded, "There's no need to make a big deal out of it, just go ahead in secret."
Tian Fusheng answered, and Gu Yuanbai looked at the sky outside and said to Xue Yuan, "Go back, Xue Qing."
Xue Yuan withdrew his eyes that were staring at the wolf, "Your Holiness, that kang bed--"
"The Xue Mansion also has it," Gu Yuanbai said slowly, "and you have it in your room."
Xue Yuan uncontrollably showed an expression of disappointment.
Gu Yuanbai thought to himself, "How disappointed can you be, a gentleman's word is a team of horses, I have already said that I will not whore you, then I will not go to whoring.
Just as he thought this, Xue Yuan added, "I would like to ask for a favor with His Majesty."
Gu Yuanbai looked at him critically, "What is it?"
Xue Yuan whispered, "In the recess two days from now, I would also like to go on the field, at that time, I would also like to ask Your Holiness not to avert your eyes and take a good look at my valor." He grinned, his waist and back slightly bent like a frivolous rogue bandit head, "If I win, how about you come to my residence for a night's rest?"
The words were so low that Gu Yuanbai was the only one who heard them. Gu Yuanbai couldn't help but think, "Is he seducing me?
His Holiness looked at Xue Yuan for a moment, seeing from his handsome face to his neck, the knot in his throat protruding from his slender neck, right now sliding up and down tightly and greedily for a split second under Gu Yuanbai's gaze.
Gu Yuanbai pondered a lot in his mind, with all kinds of yellow paragraphs coming out, and finally gave Xue Yuan a meaningful look and asked, "What if you lose?"
Good tactics, Xue Jiuyao.
You want to trick him into coming to the mansion, wait for Gu Yuanbai to get comfortable in the dead of night, and then break him?
After His Majesty, the wise and mighty Emperor, had thought a lot, his eyes became deeper and deeper as he looked at Xue Yuan.
Xue Yuan swallowed another mouthful of saliva under his eyes before he put away his wolf skin and said in a dignified manner, "How could I lose?"
He licked his mouth, a few wisps of blood seeped out of the crack, and he smiled more and more gently at the smell of blood, "Your Holiness will be fine if you prepare the clothes for the couch."
*
Two days later, the day of rest.
The cuju tournament for the Ministry of Households and the Hall of Government was about to begin, and both groups of people were those who ambled around the government offices all year round. If Xue Yuan was thrown in there, it would be like a wolf falling into a sheep's den.
In order for the mental state of his officials not to be hit, but also for the match scene to be glued to look good, Gu Yuanbai then picked a team of people from the Dong Ling Wei to be on the same team with Xue Yuan, and had the imperial guards protecting the front of the hall form another team to fight against him.
The people of these two teams were all tall, and the location of the tournament was set at the same spot where Gu Yuanbai had previously watched the Cuju of the State Zi Academy and the Imperial Academy. This location had become a regular cuju tournament spot ever since it was visited by the saint himself, and the commoners who loved cuju would pass by here from time to time to see if there were any intense and exciting matches.
When the two teams, the Dong Ling Guards and the Imperial Guards, took to the field, their spirit and tall stature instantly attracted many people watching. Before the kicks even started, the enthusiastic shouts and whistles made the atmosphere soar.
Gu Yuanbai's people had already set up everything in the gazebo, and he was wearing his regular clothes as he looked out over the people on the streets.
Winter has just passed, the spring sun is out of the mind, this time of the year, although the coldness is still there, but the bright sun is not stingy to shed a day to day warm light, this is just midday, the people in the market rubbing shoulder to shoulder in the midst of the past, the pace of the leisurely, and sometimes stop with the vendors to cut the price. There are even three or two people gathered around the cuju field, excitedly waving their arms to encourage the people on the field to cheer.
Noisy and vibrant.
Gu Yuanbai was draped in a dark blue coat, his jade-like onion fingers peeking out of the deep coat, holding a golden hand stove. Occasionally, a breeze blew up from the front, blowing his black hair on both sides up and scattering it on top of his shoulders.
The heavy clothing almost buried half of his face. Tian Fusheng whispered, "Your Holiness, this place is windy, move over."
"Wait," Gu Yuanbai said, "I'll take another look."
Cuju field on the two teams are warming up, eyeing each other, fire enough. The more they do, the more people are attracted to see, many people laughed and said: "Jun brother's good kick, kick good for you to see a good girl!"
It caused a great deal of laughter.
There were already quite a few people among the Dong Ling Guards and the Imperial Guards who had reddened their faces and could only pretend that they didn't hear it, ignoring the people's flirting with such boldness.
Gu Yuanbai also smiled, "When I came here last year, I remember there weren't so many people."
"Yes," Tian Fusheng said, "His Holiness came here to watch Cuju before, although this place is empty, but not a lot of traces of people. But after His Majesty came here, gradually, the government and the people have any big cuju tournament will come here to organize. The traders followed suit, and there were more and more people."
"There's also Zhang's credit in this," Gu Yuanbai's expression eased, "They came back to the capital, and a large number of foreign merchants followed them back. This year, the number of recorded merchants in the capital is 20% more than last year."
Speaking of merchants, one has to think of today's under-appreciated waters.
Lin Zhicheng has long been in a hurry after the year will rush to the coastal division to the appointment, but Gu Yuanbai let him leave a sea trade strategy, after rummaging through the literature combined with the current environment, that strategy, Gu Yuanbai think feasible.
Things are never done, Gu Yuanbai was called back to his senses by the people's applause, and looked down to see that the Cuju tournament was ready to begin.
He shifted his steps and focused on the cuju match between the two teams.
