The Submissive Emperor

Disruption is small, and starvation is a big deal. Lou Jing squeezed the small spoon and scooped up the fish in the bowl. His hungry body finally received some comfort.

"The effect of the medicine will be over in a while, so bear with it." Xiao Chengjun used the chopsticks to put some vegetables in the bowl for him, and changed his chopsticks to eat slowly.

Lou Jing looked at the dishes in the bowl, and then at His Royal Highness who was eating seriously...Xiao Chengjun unexpectedly served him dishes! The crown prince, will serve others?

"Don't like this?" Xiao Chengjun saw him staring at the green vegetables in the bowl, thinking he didn't like this, so he changed his chopsticks and put some fried meat on him.

"I'm not picky." Lou Jing shook his head hurriedly, and ate the vegetables and meat together with a spoon. Judging from the strange appearance of the prince, it is obvious that he rarely does these things. Since the death of his mother, no one has taken care of him with such care.

Seeing that he was really not picky about eating, Xiao Chengjun relaxed, took a few bites by himself, and gave him some vegetables.

After lunch, Lou Jing couldn't sleep even though he was a little tired while lying on the new bed with bright red silk quilt. Xiao Chengjun went to Chongwenguan, thinking that he needed to discuss the morning with the Donggong official.

When Taizu founded the country, many princes and kings of different surnames were sealed. At that time, the border was turbulent, and the remnants of the previous dynasties were not exhausted. Taizu and Taizong were brave and warlike monarchs. Naturally, there would be no major problems in running the country in this way. It is a pity that Taizong died young, leaving behind Sejong, who was only seven years old.

After the feudal king entered Beijing, Sejong was hidden in a rice jar by an old **** before he survived. Therefore, while Sejong hated women's involvement in politics, he was very concerned about the loyalty of the eunuchs, and set up a Ministry of Internal Attorney, and quasi-eunuchs participated in part of the government. After so many years, the **** has taken advantage of his emperor’s superiority, and the influence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is constantly expanding, until today...

"Shizi, why are you still asleep?" Xunxia, ​​who came in quietly to add fragrance, could not help but ask, "But the wound hurts again?"

"It doesn't hurt." Lou Jing realized that the three hours of the anesthetic had passed, but he didn't feel any pain in his body.

"Would you like a slave girl to show you?" Xun Xia added spices into the incense burner of colorful colored glaze, and walked to the bed.

"Alright." Lou Jing sat up slowly, unbuttoned his clothes, and showed some of his back to Xun Xia. After applying the medicine last night, he felt that the injured area was lighter, unlike the previous day. It's so tight.

Chongwenguan was the place where the prince studied, including the Taifu, where he taught lectures and lectures, and the study room where Xiao Chengjun wrote and wrote memorials.

The large study room is a suite, and the center is divided into two parts, inside and outside, by a frame. On the outside, the bookshelves carved in Huanghuali wood are filled with blue cover books, and on the inside are desks and the four treasures of the study.

"His Royal Highness, Shen Lian is so arrogant, and if this continues, Chaozhong will definitely become chaotic."

"No, Shen Lian is now the celebrity next to the emperor, and it is unpleasant for us to oppose him now!"

…

Xiao Chengjun sat silently behind the desk, listening to the three counselors speaking sentence after sentence without saying a word.

"What's the use of saying this now!" One person waved his hand and interrupted the chatter of the other two impatiently. "Whether Shen Lian is not the most important thing, the key is why the right side should help Shen Lian to speak this morning, and why the left side Don’t say a word? Someone must have known about this before, so why didn’t no one stop it?"

The tone of the words was fierce, but every word pointed to the main point. Xiao Chengjun raised his head and glanced at the person who was speaking. It was Cai Yi, who was speaking from Zhan Shifu.

Donggong official rank is not high, the highest is Zhan Shifu Zhanshi, the third rank is the official title, it is basically a false title, so Cai Yi, who has the fourth rank, is considered the highest official in the Donggong.

Xiao Chengjun nodded slightly, "Yes." He didn't care about Shen Lian. After all, it was not a day or two for his father to favor eunuchs. The key was the attitude of the two prime ministers. Chen Shichang, the right minister, actually helped Shen Lian at a critical time. Is there any collusion between them? If Shen Lian were on the side of the Chen family, it would be very unfavorable to the East Palace. What role did Zuoxiang play in this matter?

Coming out of Chongwen Hall, Xiao Chengjun was still thinking about it, and walked into the interior of the Eight Phoenix Hall with a calm face, and heard a crisp and charming exclamation, "Ah, the color has faded a lot!"

Isn't the prince asleep at this time? How could there be a woman's voice?

Xiao Chengjun couldn't help but frowned. Turning the screen, he saw his crown prince with her back half-open, and the court lady named Xunxia was about to reach out to touch his skin.

"What are you doing?" I felt that this scene was very dazzling, and Xiao Chengjun's voice had a coldness that he didn't notice.

Xun Xia was startled, and the hand that hadn't been touched immediately shrank back. When he saw the person coming, he knelt down, "His Royal Highness Wanan."

"His Royal Highness is back," Lou Jing turned around to see Xiao Chengjun who was expressionless, smiled and tucked up his clothes, got out of bed and bowed to him, "I asked Xun Xia to show me how the injury on his back was."

Xiao Chengjun waved Xunxia out and sat on the bed with the princess.

"Since your Royal Highness is back, let's sleep for a while," Lou Jing wanted to continue lying on his stomach after speaking, but his Royal Highness was sitting still. The prince is a husband, and he is a wife. How can the prince sit on the edge of the bed and not lie down?

Lou Jing glanced at Xiao Chengjun. Although the expressions on His Royal Highness's face were always the same, there were some emotions in those eyes. For example, the His Royal Highness seemed a little unhappy.

Could it be that those Donggong officials were too useless and angered him? Lou Jing looked at the soft quilt behind him, and then at the crown prince who was as steady as Mount Tai, and then smiled closer, "Then, let your Royal Highness change clothes." As he said, he stretched out his hand to the Prince's Xinghuang suit.

Xiao Chengjun didn't speak, just looked at the shirt on the crown prince. The thin shirt made of snow-colored brocade has only two buttons on the front, and the neck is half open, revealing a beautifully shaped collarbone. He is already married to himself, how can he show his body to the court lady? Thinking of the scene he saw when he entered the door, His Royal Highness's complexion was a little bad.

Not speaking is a acquiescence. Lou Jing licked his lips and untied the jade belt around his waist in twos or twos. With a gentle pull, his robe was loosened. "His Royal Highness is worried about Shen Lian's affairs?" Before getting married, The **** also taught him how to take off the prince's clothes.

Xiao Chengjun came back to his senses, the outer robe on his body had been taken off, and his crown princess was pulling his shirt down, "Well," responded vaguely, and the crown prince pulled down his belt. , Raised his leg and moved into the bed, took a nap, and didn't need to take off his shirt. "What I care about is the attitude of the civil servants."

Seeing that His Royal Highness lay down obediently, Lou Jing was satisfied, put down the tent and lay on the pillow, yawned and said, "It's just throwing stones to ask for directions."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Chengjun was taken aback, turned his head abruptly, and happened to meet Lou Jing's face just lying down.

Lou Jing blinked and saw a surprise in His Royal Highness's eyes, and knew that he was right, "Civil officials pay attention to the golden mean. If they don't want to work with them, and don't want to cause trouble, they will naturally push the individual out first. Try the shades."

Although my grandfather didn't like the civil officials, he asked him to learn from them, how to do a lot of wicked things, and was praised by the history books.

Xiao Chengjun's eyes lit up. It was because they thought it was too complicated for such a simple reason. The right-hand Chen Shichang has always been alert. He didn't necessarily say those words to help Shen Lian. He just saw that the father was a little bit irritated and turned into anger. He went down the steps and sold his face to Shen Lian by the way. But this kind of action will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Qingliu faction, and perhaps it can be used to good use.

Lou Jing looked at His Royal Highness, who was close at hand, interestingly. At first, he thought quietly without expression, his dark eyes suddenly lit up, and then the corners of his lips slightly bend. It was like an arrogant cat, suddenly remembering where he hid the dried fish last time, happy but afraid that others would see it, so he shook the tip of his tail quietly.

I really wanted to reach out and touch it, Lou Jing thought about it, so he raised his hand and stretched it over there.

"Prince Qi, Prince Concubine, and His Royal Highness the Four Princes come to see you." Chang En's voice came from outside the door, Lou Jing was startled, and the hand that had just stretched out froze halfway.

"Let him stay." Xiao Chengjun replied and sat up.

Lou Jing dropped his arms sullenly and hugged the pillow unwillingly, "I haven't fallen asleep yet."

Xiao Chengjun glanced at him, "What have you been doing so long before?" His tone became cold halfway through, and then he remembered that he hadn't interrogated him to undress in front of the court lady.

"Um..." Lou Jing buried his face in the quilt, not thinking about it. Several court ladies had already entered the room to serve the two of them dressing.

Xiao Chengjun swallowed again when he reached his lips, and decided to discuss the rules of the palace with the princess in the evening.

It was not supposed to be so early in the afternoon, but since the four princes are here, as the elder brother, he can't continue to sleep with his daughter-in-law and let the younger brother wait.

In the main hall of the Eight Phoenix Hall, everyone was standing, only one person in the dark yellow prince's uniform was sitting on a chair with Erlang's legs up and drinking tea. It was the fourth prince Xiao Chengzheng.

Xiao Chengzheng is very strong. Xu Shi often rides outside to practice martial arts. His whole body is tanned. He doesn't look like a pampered prince, but like a young general carrying a flag. Seeing the prince and princess coming out of the inner room, the fourth prince immediately bounced from the chair and saluted the two.

"Why did you come so early?" Xiao Chengjun sat down in the upright position.

"Hey, I was anxious for my sister-in-law's red envelope, and I ran over without seeing the hour." Xiao Chengzheng scratched his head embarrassedly.

Lou Jing smiled and gave him a big red envelope. He thought that the four princes and the prince were raised by the queen's side. They were naturally more intimate, but this temper was too straightforward.

"Sister-in-law Xie!" Xiao Chengzheng happily accepted. The fifteen-year-old boy laughed brightly.

"The three princes are here—" Before I was waiting to say anything, there was another loud voice outside the door.
