Above the river, a small boat swings with the waves.
Xue Yuan stood at the bow of the boat with a shadowy brow, behind him Chang Yuyan, the son of the junior secretary of the Da Lisi, was leisurely pouring his own wine, and looking at him with a look of viciousness, he said in amusement, "What your concubine brother got turned out not to be an epidemic?"
The corner of Xue Yuan's lips hooked up and he smiled gently, "Yu Yan, what do you call this, he played his heart out to my mother's body, my old son almost slaughtered him when I returned to the mansion today."
Chang Yuyan laughed out loud, "He also dragged your father into being fined for his salary, and had your father along with you properly scolded by the saint in front of the hundred officials."
Xue Yuan's smile deepened, "That's not true, he went back to the mansion and sparred with me, and told me to find a chance to apologize to the little emperor next time."
Chang Yuyan stifled a laugh.
Xue Yuan, this guy looks like a man, but his temper is more animal than a dog, and his face hangs a gentleman's smile, but in his heart, he may be thinking of something vicious and harmful.
This person is also bold, no rules and virtues, if it is not General Xue watch closely, Xue Yuan really can do his concubine brother cut and then thrown out to feed the wolves thing, not afraid of other people's attack and moral scolding.
The son of a great general ended up living as a bandit leader.
Chang Yuyan said, "You'd better be at peace, there are quite a few people in the capital who have their eyes on you."
"Laozi riding a horse can be described by them as a downtown murder," Xue Yuan, "Some day I'll pile up a Jing Guanβ in front of their door, so they'll know what it means to commit murder."
"You can't pile up even if you want to, this is not a battlefield, where are so many heads for you to pile up into a high mountain," Chang Yuyan poured himself another cup of wine, half lying on top of the wooden board, reciting a poem aloud, "Lotus leaf skirt cut in a single color, hibiscus opens up to both sides of the face. I can't see it in the pool, but when I hear the song, I realize that someone is coming. β‘"
Xue Yuan said, "Where are the lotus leaves? The lotus leaves aren't going to bloom this way either."
Changyu said, "There are no lotus leaves, but I can see the hibiscus face."
He pointed to a handkerchief floating not far from the boat, "If I'm not mistaken, the embroidery on that handkerchief should be a picture of a lady."
Xue Yuan picked up the oars and fished out the handkerchief, the handkerchief was silky and smooth, and it did not stick to his hands even when it was dipped in water, Xue Yuan squinted his eyes, and when he saw the pattern on it, he gave a meaningful smile.
Chang Yuyan curiously said, "Is it a picture of a lady?"
"No," Xue Yuan smiled ominously, "it's a dragon tattoo."

Gu Yuanbai, who was in the middle of reviewing the zhang folds, suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He frowned, and the people around him promptly replaced his hand stove and brought him hot tea, making the fire pot in the hall even hotter. To someone with a healthy body this temperature was already very hot, the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall had thin sweat running down their heads, but Gu Yuanbai felt that this temperature was only just right.
He tightened the beautifully engraved handkerchief in his hand, and with a wave of his brush, he got up after approving the last zhangfang and had someone come to clear the table.
The small emperor's body is weak, looks like the appearance of a weak crown, Gu Yuanbai several times would like to jerk a hand to solve the physiological needs of men, but every time I looked at the place of the pink tender hair sparse and no appetite.
The colors and shapes were quite nice, clean and even described as delicate. But when it came to Gu Yuanbai himself, this was a blatant blow to his male ego.
It's so tender that when you jerk it off, it turns red, and even if you feel it, you have to shrivel up.
Gu Yuanbai stood at the window opening and sighed deeply.
Tian Fusheng was dispatched by Gu Yuanbai, accompanied by a small eunuch, who cautiously said, "Is there something troubling His Holiness?"
Gu Yuanbai was just about to speak when he heard a clamor outside the palace, he frowned, "What's happening outside?"
As soon as the words fell, someone ran in to inform, "Your Holiness, an assassin has been captured outside."
Gu Yuanbai's face abruptly darkened, and even darker than his face was the chief of the guards guarding the side.
*
After approving the zhangbiao, the sky has darkened, the assassin is dressed in black, strange movements, if not the inner court has long been cleaned by Gu Yuanbai, the forbidden army and the imperial guards are diligent, I'm afraid not to find this person.
Gu Yuanbai sat high up behind the paperwork, his voice wrapped in the cold wind of a waxing moon, "Who sent you?"
The assassin was pressed to the ground with his face pressed to the ground, crying and screaming, "Who would send a flower picker to be an assassin? Your Holiness is clear, the small one was just blinded under the colorful courage, so he boldly entered the palace and wanted to come and take a look."
Gu Yuanbai: "Picking flowers to my palace? Which flower in my palace do you have your eye on."
The tone of the saint sullen, the palace where there is a palace consort, called the flower is only the palace maid of the great inner.
The assassin fought to look in that direction towards the emperor, the young emperor was so angry that his lips were blood red, his ears were also filled with blood, his eyes contained ice with anger, everywhere was a landscape to see people dazzled, which place are not willing to miss.
The assassin's mouth opened wide in shock as he looked at His Holiness, his face suddenly reddened and he didn't reply after lowering his head.
The head guard surged forward and kicked the assassin hard. The assassin stifled a grunt, and with a sudden burst of strength he toppled the few guards who were suppressing him, and in an instant he was pressed down by more men.
Bright yellow dragon boots appeared in front of his eyes, Gu Yuanbai lifted his foot and hooked the assassin's face, a face that if it didn't have blood on it, it would have been dashing and elegant looking, with bright eyes, the face of a noble gentleman.
The assassin blinked away the blood beside his eyes and concentrated on looking up at the saint, so close that the saint's slender wrists were incorporated into his eyes, and he sincerely said, "Your Majesty, the grass people were really just momentarily blinded by lust."
The corner of His Majesty's lips lightly hooked, "You think I believe?"
Every place is like jade, more honorable than jade, pampered out of this skin and flesh, sweat out of fear is also fragrant.
The assassin felt the tip of his heart itch and felt that the dragon boots that lifted his chin smelled so good that he defended himself, "I saw you outside the palace, I didn't expect you to enter the palace, and I didn't expect you to be the saint."
Gu Yuanbai looked down at him, gave a cold laugh in the middle of the day, and opened his mouth, "Press the person into the dungeon and interrogate him properly."
The guards pulled the man out, and the assassin was still laughing, his eyes darting around the hall, but his afterglow did not leave His Holiness.
Gu Yuanbai coughed a few times and looked coldly at his smiling face.
The people were dragged down, and the head of the guards took the lead and knelt in front of Gu Yuanbai, who glanced at them and didn't let them get up, and only after a long time did he say with a sinking anger, "The next one will not be an example."
The hall was so large that it let such a thief rush to the front of the Xuanzheng Hall.
Are all the guards in the palace wasted!
This assassin was full of insults, Gu Yuanbai thought a lot about who could have sent him, but his brain hurt at this time.
He rubbed his forehead with a light frown between his brows and opened his eyes to see the head of the guards, Zhang Xu, looking at him, Gu Yuanbai frowned, "What's wrong?"
The head guard bowed his head in shame, "Your Majesty, I won't let this happen again."
"Go find out where there was a mistake," Gu Yuanbai said in a cold voice, "I'd like to see who left a dog hole for him!"
The head of the guards retreated, and Tian Fusheng scrutinized His Majesty's face and advised, "Your Majesty, it's time to have your meal."
After persuading him properly for a while, Gu Yuanbai reluctantly nodded his head and let him pass on the meal, and a few moments later, a table of mountainous delicacies was placed in front of Gu Yuanbai.
But even the most delicious thing will get tired of eating it for three years. Gu Yuanbai didn't have much of an appetite, and after moving his chopsticks, he didn't want to move again, and in his heart he couldn't help but think of a series of dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomato, hot pot and barbecue, and burger and cola.
Especially tomatoes, Gu Yuanbai before actually have no feeling for tomatoes, but these years down, he almost have to tomato obsession. Thinking of the sweet and sour taste on the hair greedy, but the tomato Ming Dynasty time can only be imported into China, he is now craving saliva flow also can not eat this big red fruit.
As soon as he thought of food, he couldn't stop eating, Gu Yuanbai's anger subsided, and now he only had cravings. Da Heng Dynasty does not have chili peppers nowadays, nowadays the spicy flavor in the dishes is mostly mixed with peppercorns, cornelian, ginger, mustard, fu liu and other spicy seasonings, this body because of the weakness, can not eat spicy, Gu Yuanbai three years can rarely rarely come across the spicy flavor.
Thinking about the various food items in his mind, Gu Yuanbai pondered for a while and recruited someone to give him detailed instructions to go and have the Imperial Catering Room make a bowl of fried noodles as he had said.
A few moments later, a bowl of noodles sprinkled with sauce was served in front of Gu Yuanbai, small green onions dotted on it, the fragrance of a long, long time, looking really good, Gu Yuanbai picked up a root of noodles wrapped in the sauce meat to the mouth, the aroma of the nose, the appetite followed by hooked up.
A bowl of noodles Gu Yuanbai ate clean, satisfied after the meal, and then look at the previous table of delicacies and sea food has not yet moved on a bit, Gu Yuanbai moved his fingers, lazily commanded: "Let people do another bowl of noodles, with that lotus duck stick and gold silk belly soup together with the reward to General Xue."
"Yes."
*
General Xue personally received the reward food from the palace, and the eunuch sent to deliver the reward food laughed and said, "General Xue Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and the saint remembers the general when he dines. There's also a bowl of pasta in the box, that's the new food that His Holiness had the Imperial Catering Room figure out tonight, and specially asked my little one to send the General a bowl to taste."
General Xue's eyes were moved and he said in a deep voice, "Imperial grace is great, I thank Your Majesty for remembering."
The eunuch smiled in satisfaction before excusing himself and leaving.
That night, the Xue Mansion.
The two dishes rewarded by the saint were placed right in the middle, and the bowl of noodles was even served by General Xue in front of himself. General Xue carefully mixed the noodles, which had already become a paste, and respectfully tasted the first bite.
The old madam looked at him with a smile, "The saint rewarded us, one bite should not be wasted, today's child are not formal, Lin brother can also drink some wine."
Second Duke Xue promised to answer, seeing General Xue lifting his chopsticks, he also lifted his chopsticks to reach for the center bestowed dish, halfway to the back of his hand by a smiling Xue Yuan's chopsticks, "Did I tell you to eat?"
A red mark instantly swelled up on Second Duke Xue's hand, he looked towards the several elders in humiliation, but Old Madam and General Xue both looked as if they didn't see it, Second Duke Xue could only let go of the bestowed dish in secret hatred and turned to a dish of green vegetables next to him.
Xue Yuan changed his pair of chopsticks, looked at the two dishes in the center, tasted a bite and said, "Hit a plate and then give a date, General Xue, the Emperor is using you as a dog trainer."
"Then you are the son of a dog born." General Xue shouted.
Xue Yuan lazily argued with him, specializing in catching the palace's imperial meal to eat, eating half of the coldly open, "In a few days is the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet, by then I want to go to the palace with you."
General Xue looked at him suspiciously for a few moments and warned, "You don't want to do anything to disgrace me."
Xue Yuan hooked up a civilized fake smile as he took that handkerchief of the Emperor's and wiped the dirty dust from his shoes, then threw it on the soles of his feet and stomped and crushed it a few times, saying, "How come."
That sickly Emperor had scolded him so harshly in front of all the officials, how dare he do anything out of the ordinary again?
