Gu Yuanbai said, "Roll in."

In the snap of a finger, a man jumped down from the tall city wall, and the forbidden soldiers guarding the city subconsciously raised their lances in their hands towards him, and then hurriedly looked towards Gu Yuanbai.

Gu Yuanbai rubbed his brow and told the forbidden soldiers, "Press him to the city gates and let him enter the palace through the palace gates."

By the time Xue Yuan saw His Holiness again, he was already in the Hall of Declaring Government.

The saint has just finished his meal, a moment to go to the bath, at this time to see Xue Yuan came, eyelids loosely lifted up a bit, and then drooped down in the zhang folding above.

Xue Yuan smiled when he looked at Gu Yuanbai, and finished his salute in a regular manner, "Your Majesty, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, can I give it a go first?"

Before his words fell, he caught a book that smashed against his head, and Xue Yuan looked up to see that His Holiness' face was unchanged, and he had picked up another zhengzuo again.

Xue Yuan smiled helplessly, "Your Holiness, how can you be willing to give me a chance?"

Gu Yuanbai said, "First tell me why you came to see me today."

Xue Yuan sniffed, closed the book and handed it to Tian Fusheng, and honestly said, "I heard about the Saint's visit to the Chu Mansion a few days ago."

Gu Yuanbai let out a "hmm" and let him continue.

"After I learned of this, I went to the Chu residence to take a look," Xue Yuan said, "and found that the ten fingers on Lord Chu Wei's hands were still intact. Looks like the saint to Chu adults of this hands like very much, also, this pair of hands can give the saint painting, who do not like?"

Gu Yuanbai suddenly asked, "Where is the wooden statue you carved for me?"

Xue Yuan was stuck in his shell, coughed a few times, and said, "Give it to His Holiness on the day of the Shangyuan Festival."

"Two days and two days, Xue Jiuyao, if you don't know how to carve a statue then you will say it outright, there is no need to procrastinate so much," Gu Yuanbai wordlessly hooked his lips and finally raised his head to look at him, "In your heart, you regret why those two wolves didn't bite off Chu Qing's fingers?"

Xue Yuan politely said, "Wherever."

Gu Yuanbai was happy and smothered his laughter, only after laughing for a few moments he felt his arms and legs were weak and his chest was stuffy, he stopped laughing and couldn't help but frown.

Xue Yuan had already rushed to him with quick steps, his hands not daring to touch him as he carefully said, "Your Holiness?"

Gu Yuanbai gripped his arm tightly and slowly sat up straight, "I don't know why recently, but I always feel some weakness in my arms and legs. Usually nothing happens when I laugh a lot, but now I can't."

A wave of panic rose in Xue Yuan's heart as he came back to his senses and forced himself to calm down, "What did the Imperial Doctor say?"

"Fatigue."

Gu Yuanbai said.

Xue Yuan straightened the hair around his ears, Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes and felt better, "When I feel weak in my hands and feet every day, it is after I come back from a walk in the Imperial Garden, and I return to the palace but for a few moments to regain my strength, and even my spirits are high. What the imperial physician said must be right, just the body does not walk can not, has been sitting in the temple, is not also to waste?"

"That's right." Xue Yuan agreed in a low voice, but there was still a tight frown between his brows.

Tian Fusheng's affairs were all snatched up by Xue Yuan, the old eunuch had to take a look at the color of the gods outside and said, "Your Holiness, it's time to bathe."

Xue Yuan suppressed his worries and blurted out, "Your Majesty, I will give you Maundy."

The hall was so quiet for a moment that not a single sound was uttered, and Gu Yuanbai suddenly laughed, "Then you'll be the one to do it."

*

In the Hall of Springs.

Gu Yuanbai tilted his head, his head of black hair foaming in the spring water, swinging with the ripples. Xue Yuan held his black hair, which was as smooth as satin, and loved it, "Every single strand of your holiness' hair is worth ten thousand gold in my court."

Gu Yuanbai sniffed and smoothed a hair down, wrapping this hair around Xue Yuan's wrist, "Ten thousand gold bring it."

Xue Yuan thought to himself, little heartless.

He took out an emerald green jade trigger from his bosom and put it on Gu Yuanbai's thumb, "Your Holiness, this was bought with ten thousand gold."

Didn't hold back an extra, "You don't want to be losing it."

This "lost" word makes Gu Yuanbai a little weak, raised his hand and looked at it, the jade trigger finger is still the same as before, green condensation deep, this jade trigger finger even if it is not worth 10,000 gold, now is also unusual up, because it rolled from the palace to the northern border, and from the northern border rolled back to the emperor's hands.

Both by the birds and birds to fly up, but also to see the bottom of the line of the lake look, to see the northern border flooded the Great Wall of snow, ten thousand gold, ten thousand gold can not buy these insights.

Gu Yuanbai was a good young man in society and didn't take advantage of people for nothing, so he picked up another dislodged hair strand and wrapped it around Xue Yuan's other wrist, "Two, a reward for you."

Xue Yuan obediently let him tie it on, "Your Holiness, don't you want to go out and look around on the New Year's Day?"

Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes and lay still on the couch, "Tell me what's out there."

Xue Yuan opened his mouth, but did not know what to say. He left home since childhood, after years of war should forget almost forgotten, last year the end of the palace banquet, directly back to the house, how to know what can be in the downtown.

But he was worried that if he said that, Gu Yuanbai wouldn't go out with him, so he vaguely said, "A lot of things, too many to count."

Gu Yuanbai said, "What?"

Xue Yuan was more vague, "Everything."

"I didn't hear you," Gu Yuanbai frowned and hooked his finger, "Come to my ear."

Xue Yuan ambled his body down and was about to speak when hot air sprayed Gu Yuanbai's ears. He couldn't help but look at the ears of the saint, who was lying flat on the beauty couch, wearing only a single piece of clothing, from the side of his ears to his neck, all of which could be seen clearly at a glance.

The single garment covered under the neck, the slender neck flooded with white light, the mouth of the garment had a slight undulation, as if as long as you gently fiddle, you can look down again.

All the things Xue Yuan wanted to say were forgotten.

Hot air mixed with moisture, just like that night when Xue Yuan tasted Gu Yuanbai's ear beads, Gu Yuanbai didn't move and tensed his legs, intending to let Xue Yuan also taste his sin of not going up and down that night.

"Xueqing," with a smirk, "speak."

"I ......" Xue Yuan opened his mouth, his body lowered closer, every word he said seemed to be able to touch the ears of the saint, and if he said one more word, he would be able to eat his mouth in general, his voice was hoarse, "At the time of the Shangyuan Festival, there are many and varied of food, the donkey meat roast that Your Holiness ate last time will also be available, we can walk from the beginning of the road to the end of the road, and I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."

Gu Yuanbai was uncomfortably puckered by the hot air and moved his ears, trying to turn his head sideways.

Xue Yuan palmed his head to keep him still and smothered a laugh, "Your Holiness, you're still washing your hair."

Gu Yuanbai turned his head again, his ear beads moved around in Xue Yuan's eyes, as if on purpose to attract all of General Xue's attention, General Xue did not hold back, wanting to use the opportunity to speak "unintentionally" taste a mouthful, but just as he was about to get close, Gu Yuanbai said: "Finished? "

Xue Yuan hard choked in place, closed his mouth, and pondered the words: "There are still playing, many, many, I carved wood carvings for the saint, and there should still be craftsmen who make sugar people at the Shangyuan Festival."

Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes, hiding what appeared to be a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Sugar Man, did you do well?"

Xue Yuan got closer again, his lips already touching the alabaster-like beads, Gu Yuanbai twisted his head and lazily said, "Maundy hair."

Xue Yuan: "......"

He took a deep breath and left, going to wash the saint's already soaked black hair.

A smile flickered on the Holy Lord's face and was quickly hidden.

Before the Shangyuan Festival came, the things sent by Western Xia first step into the library.

"Five thousand good horses, ten thousand cattle and sheep, five million taels of silver, and three million stones of grain," said the Minister of the Household, "not a penny less."

Gu Yuanbai sniffed, pondered for a moment, and asked someone to go and ask the Western Xia emissary to come and meet the saint.

Two quarters of an hour later, the second prince of Western Xia Li Ang Yi along with the Western Xia ambassadors audience, Gu Yuanbai only then saw the face of the second prince, he and the seventh prince has a three-point resemblance, but it seems that between the brows and eyes are not with worry all the time, occasionally and Gu Yuanbai on the line of sight, the eyes dodge look flinch, do not see a bit of the prince faction.

The ministers in the hall thus only glanced at him before casting their eyes on the ministers behind the Second Prince of Western Xia, and both sides exchanged words with each other, and along the way, Gu Yuanbai didn't say a word, and the Second Prince of Western Xia buried his head and didn't say a word either. Only when the exchange was over did the Second Prince of Western Xia timidly open his mouth amidst the urging of his ministers, "Emperor of Daheng, can you release my Seventh Imperial Brother now?"

Gu Yuanbai looked at him and said in a slow voice, "Someone, invite the people up."

The Western Xia people who were under house arrest in Ming Sheng Post had long been pressed outside the hall, and the guards courteously invited Li Angshun and his party to the hall. As soon as he saw his seventh royal brother, the second prince of Western Xia rushed to welcome him, and hurriedly asked, "Seventh brother, how are you doing these days?"

Li Aung Shun shook off his hand, his face grim, "Why did you guys come so late."

After the two teams met, the second prince was going to ask for his resignation, Gu Yuanbai suddenly smiled and said in a peaceful manner, "In a few days, it will be the Lantern Festival of my Daheng, a few of you don't need to go back in a hurry, after the Lantern Festival, then I'll let me invite you all to a banquet, so you can also take a look at the flavor of my Daheng."

The second prince was about to speak, but Li Anshun had already agreed first, so he had no choice but to stop talking and shut his mouth helplessly.

A group of people excused themselves and left, Gu Yuanbai looked at their backs and lifted his tealight to take a sip of warm tea. When the Western Xia people were about to step out of the palace, Gu Yuanbai suddenly shouted, "Li Angyi!"

Li Aung Yi hastily turned his head to look at the saint, but his body was still facing forward, "Yes."

Gu Yuanbai took another sip of tea, "I like your national fragrance very much."

Li Aon Yi relaxed and said he didn't dare before carefully leaving.

When the person was gone, Gu Yuanbai lowered his eyes and swept away the floating tea leaves with the lid of his cup.

Lee Aung Yee has a wolf-guy look.

The wolf is a man who turns his head and looks back without turning his body, and is vicious in nature, often harboring the desire to kill and harm others. ①

The Second Prince of Western Xia is not simple.
