The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 101
The Hongyuan Emperor’s wedding was celebrated all over the world and stopped on the 9th.
On the second day of the wedding, Ji Jue got up in Feng’an Palace unhurriedly. When preparing for the wedding yesterday, the emperor told him implicitly that it might be later today. While dressing, he curled his lips and smiled. The young man is really alive and well. There is only one elder in the palace left and right, so it doesn’t matter if they just play a little bit.
The courteous Xu Shiwei took the coat over and put it on Ji Zhuo with his own hands. He looked at that Leng Jun’s face with a slight smile, and couldn’t help but glance at it a few more times.
“The tie is wrong.” Ji Zhuo laughed and laughed as he watched someone bring his waist coat to his chest.
This dress is already complicated, and if you make a mistake, you have to take several apart and wear it again. Xu Che scratched his head, smiled slyly, and patiently took them apart one by one, and then tied them carefully. General Xu, who has always had a bad temper, stood in front of Ji Zhuo but was docile like a stupid cow. He did everything with gusto and didn’t feel irritable at all.
Ji Zhuo looked at the hands that held the gun all the year round, awkwardly twisting the soft belt, and tying the knots meticulously. It was not pretty, but the rules were very neat, but the complicated knot on the waist couldn’t be tied. Okay, I did it again and again, and my heart felt soft, “Just let the **** do these things.”
“I haven’t done it in seventeen years. It’s because of some handwork.” Xu Che lowered his head, still stubbornly competing with the ribbon.
For seventeen years, the two met only once at the palace banquet where Xu Che defeated General Nanman Feng. The rest of the time was three thousand miles apart. Ji Zhuo sighed unchecked, hesitated for a moment, slowly raised his head, and touched the silver sliver of Xu Che’s temples.
I originally thought that the ignorant affection in his youth would have been lost on the day of sending off his relatives. In this deep palace, when there was no one, Ji Zhuo could not help but think of the man who gave him a shell with a smirk. As a teenager, guessing that he made meritorious service in Lingnan, married a wife and had children, and gradually forgot about him as a humble lover. He didn’t expect that this fool had waited for 17 years without marrying a wife, let alone taking a concubine. He was in his thirties, and he had already grown white hair.
Feeling that warm hand touched the temple, Xu Che grabbed the fingertips of the belt. In the past month, the two people who have not been together in 17 years are trying to get in touch slowly. Ji Zhuo has been cold and cold towards him, making him feel uneasy, afraid that this person is because he feels ashamed. He stayed with him.
When the warm touch came close, it seemed to have returned to the intimacy of seventeen years ago. At this moment, a tough guy like Xu Che could not help but blush in his eyes, afraid of embarrassment, took a breath, and continued to lower his head. The knot in his hand is getting more and more chaotic.
Ji Jue raised his hand, held the slightly trembling hands, and said dumbly: “Fool, they are all fastened.”
Xu Che slowly grasped the beautiful fingertips, and didn’t move or speak.
There was a moment of silence in the room, but it didn’t seem embarrassing at all. Instead, there was a pulse of warmth flowing between the two of them.
At this moment, an **** outside the door came to report: “Tell Lord Hou, the emperor has asked someone to bring me a message, saying that the empress is unwell. She has made an order to push the sacrifice to heaven three days later, and I will kowtow to you later.”
Actually speaking, Ji Zhuo didn’t seal the queen mother. He didn’t have to participate in this sacrifice to heaven. The etiquette of paying homage to his uncle the next day could be omitted, but Xiao Chengjun insisted on giving him a kowtow.
“I know.” Ji Zhuo responded, and the atmosphere just disappeared. The two looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Xu Che held the four fingers and didn’t let go, “Hanzhi, can I live with you in Minzhou in the future?”
Originally, Xiao Chengjun meant that Empress Ji was also regarded as a royal family and should be named a prince. However, Ji Jue was unwilling to have any relationship with the Xiao family, insisting that the new emperor treat him as a courtier to return to his hometown and sealed Jing. Haihou, the royal entanglement in the future has nothing to do with him.
Ji Jue raised his eyebrows, looked at the man’s dumb look, and couldn’t help but want to tease him, “General Zhengnan won’t fight Nanban?”
“Minzhou is also to the south, so if I go to fight the Japanese pirates, I will also be enlisted in the south.” Xu Che said anxiously.
“Hahaha…” Ji Zhuo couldn’t help laughing.
After nine days, Emperor Hongyuan began to go to court, and the palace began to be busy, preparing for the New Year.
Empress Lou naturally accepted the inner palace’s corresponding affairs. Because she set up her own door early, Lou Jing was very familiar with these trivial things, and she didn’t need to think about how to mention it, and she quickly smoothed it out.
Seeing that everything was done properly, Ji went to Jingnan Houfu to pay his parents goodbye and set off for Minzhou.
Ji’s family has now settled in Beijing. Jingnan Hou is too old to fight anymore. Emperor Hongyuan meant that when the spring begins, Shi Zi Ji Zhu will continue to guard the southeast. But Ji Jue was just an idle Hou Ye, and he didn’t have much military power in his hand.
“Why worry, after spending a new year at home, just go with your elder brother’s family, and there will be a caregiver on the road.” Mrs. Jingnan Hou took the youngest son’s hand, tears in her eyes, before because she was a queen, meeting was not the only option Satisfied politely, now I can finally get close.
Jingnan Hou sat in the main seat and did not speak. He owed too much to this son. He hadn’t seen him for more than ten years, and he didn’t know how to get along.
“The emperor has approved that Ji’s family can return to the southeast. His son’s mansion has to be cleaned up and go ahead.” Ji Zhuo didn’t give the slightest retreat. After 17 years of depression in the capital, he didn’t want to stay here for a while.
“Really?” Mrs. Ji was also taken aback. She thought she was letting the eldest son go to fight on behalf of her father. She did not expect to agree to the Ji family’s return. You must know that the Ji family has been in the southeast for generations. Even the ancestral tomb and the ancestral hall are in Rongcheng. Naturally, I can’t ask for it.
Ji Zhuo didn’t laugh. The emperor he taught would naturally see the loyalty and the courage to delegate the power of troops. He would never be as suspicious as Emperor Chunde.
“Okay, okay,” Jingnan Hou couldn’t help crying, “Hanzhi, you did a good job…”
When the Emperor Ruizong asked him to send his son into the palace, he patted him on the shoulder and sighed, “I can’t help you, but someone must guard these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Without cold looking at the prince, Dayu might be about to overthrow. NS.”
When Sejong established a man, he was actually very selfish, just to marry his general. The emperor of the Xiao family preferred male sex, and the later emperors also extended this rule, but it did not go beyond the Chunde emperor. What a masculine man, no queen in the past has had such a hard time for Ji Zhuo.
Ji Zhuo looked down and didn’t answer. Emperor Chunde had just alienated him as a courtier for so many years. Only he knew what was going on. But there is no need to let the old father know about this, he is worthy of the royal family after all.
Without staying at home, I can see you again when the spring starts. Ji Zhuo walked out of Jingnan Hou Mansion neatly. There was a carriage parked in front of the door. Jumping out of the carriage, showing a handsome face, smiled at him sly, “Shall we go?”
Ji Zhuo looked at him, chuckled and nodded.
Winter is not a good time to hurry. There are icy ballasts on the road. Horseshoes and wheels will slip, but it doesn’t matter. Stop and go all the way, stop and rest when you see the good scenery, stop and go, and walk for a month. To Minzhou.
Xiao Chengjun gave the original Minwang Mansion to his father and queen as a mansion, and replaced it with a “Jinghai Hou Mansion” plaque. The stuttering Master Fan, who became the governor of Minzhou, came to congratulate Lord Hou for the first time, “Next, Xiaguan, see, see, met Lord Hou…”
“Hey, Master Fan.” Xu Che knew him well, and patted him on the shoulder, almost slapped Fan Jie’s thin body on the ground.
“The general, the army, also live, live in Minzhou…” Fan Jie had received the order before, and then the general conquered south was stationed at the junction of Minzhou and Lingnan.
“Yes, I live here in Hou Ye on weekdays.” Xu Che said with a smile, looking a lot younger than before.
From winter to spring, summer in Minzhou always comes very early, and by mid-spring it is already hot enough to play in the water.
“Hanzhi, come here soon—” Ji Zhuo was sitting on a bamboo chair blowing the sea breeze. He heard Xu Che calling him from a distance. He opened his eyes helplessly and saw the man standing barefoot on the beach, pointing at the reef. He yelled.
“What did you find?” Ji Zhuo walked over unhurriedly, looking at him with a chuckle.
“Look!” Xu Che dug out a sea crab from the big rock and held it up to him. This crab was as big as a palm and was waving a pair of large tongs vigorously, “I’ll grill it for you later.”
“Let you look for shells, why are you looking for crabs?” Ji Zhuo raised his eyebrows.
“I found it,” Xu Che hurriedly took the crab in one hand and went to fetch the shells piled on the beach. The crab took the opportunity to raise his large tongs and gave him a bit, “Oh!”
The general who was caught screamed in pain, and threw the crab by mistake. The crab seemed to know that if he was caught, he would be dead, and ran fast. Xu Che hurriedly hugged shells to catch crabs, slipped and fell on the beach.
Ji Jue couldn’t help laughing. This guy was as steady as usual, and when he arrived in front of him, he panicked and gasped stupidly.
The crab passed sideways provocatively in places out of Xu Che’s reach, shells scattered all over the floor, and the mighty general was full of sand and embarrassed.
Ji Jue squatted down to look at him, his stern eagle eyes were full of smiles.
Xu Che couldn’t help blushing. Anyway, Ji Juo liked to laugh at him since he was a child. There is no shame in laughing at him. He passed the best-looking shell in his hand and said, “Here you are.”
Ji Zhuo handed the small shell in front of him, round and jade, shining brightly in the sun, and then looked at the smiling face covered with sand, just like before, holding the shell innocently, awkwardly to please him. Without picking up the shell, Ji Zhuo slowly stretched out his hand and gently wiped off the sand on Zhang Jun’s face, “How many years have you, how come you haven’t grown a bit, so stupid that you stumble yourself.”
“Hey…” Xu Che just looked at him, grinned, turned over and lay on the beach, simply unable to get up.
“Fool.” Ji Zhuo shook his head helplessly, and then lay down beside him.
The sea breeze blew the hem of the two men’s clothes, and the randomly scattered long blue silk hair was tangled together, accompanied by the sound of waves, very quiet.
“Hanzhi, we won’t be separated anymore, will we?”
“Um.”
“Cold.”
“Um?”
“It’s okay, just call you.”
“Fool.”
The youth is fleeting, and Acacia has lost his youth. Seventeen years have passed by in a hurry, even though the two ends are separated, the hearts of each other have never been far away.
