The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Shang Junlin hugged the person and coaxed him for a while, but seeing Shen Yu still insisted, he had to wait with him.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the time to come. At the insistence of Shang Junlin, Shen Yu told the palace servant where the painting was placed, and the palace servant took the painting.

"I'll just go get it myself, you lie down."

"no."

Shen Yu hugged the quilt and sat up, wrapped in a thick cloak and got out of bed.

Shang Junlin couldn't beat him, so he had to go.

Shen Yu went to the outside world, and after a while, he came in with the painting, and Shang Junlin hurriedly took the person into his arms: "Is it cold?"

"There is an earth dragon in the house, why is it cold?" Shen Yu became sober and presented the painting to Shang Junlin, "I must be the first person to say 'Happy Birthday' to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, happy birthday."

Shang Junlin felt that this sentence was the best birthday gift he had ever received.

After the gift was delivered, Shen Yu consciously completed his purpose, his sleepiness kept rising, and he blinked: "I'm going to sleep."

After speaking, before waiting for Shang Junlin to react, he closed his eyes.

He was really sleepy, and it didn't take long for his breathing to calm down.

Through the dim candlelight, Shang Junlin looked at the young man who fell asleep in his arms, and there were emotions that no one could see clearly in his eyes.

Shen Yu slept until dawn, not knowing that because of his sudden move, the man was not able to fall asleep for most of the night.

After a good night's sleep, I woke up feeling depressed and refreshed. I first went to see the flowers I raised. Winter is here, and some of the flowers that bloomed in winter have bloomed beautifully one after another.

The most amazing thing is that the flower of unknown origin sent by King An has never withered since it bloomed.

"Master, this flower is really amazing, will it keep blooming?" Mu Xi is Shen Yu's personal maid, and when Shen Yu comes to see flowers, she will basically follow.

"Perhaps, it's good to be open all the time. It's a pity that such a beautiful flower withered."

As if responding to the gloomy words, Huazhi shook it gently.

"My servant always thinks this flower is very spiritual, and every time you see it, it is very active," Mu Xi looked at the flower curiously, "Everything has a spirit, and this servant thinks that this flower also likes you Woolen cloth."

After so many days, it has been determined that the flowers will not bring bad influence to people, Shen Yu thought about it, and moved the flowers to the flower room that he often goes to. After moving them, he saw the flowers a lot more times.

Not only Mu Xi thought so, but Shang Junlin and Shen Yu also felt the same way. According to the palace staff, when Shen Yu didn't come, the flower would not make any movement, but if Shen Yu came, the flower seemed to welcome Like people, swinging branches and leaves from time to time.

Shen Yu found it very interesting, reached out and touched the blooming petals, which felt as cold as jade, very different from the flowers of other plants.

Shen Yu moved his hand away just by touching it, watered the other flowers, and left with Mu Xi.

"The people on Zhuangzi have trained according to the son's request, and now they have achieved a little effect. They sent someone over there to ask whether they should continue or send some people out first." On the path, Mu Xi reported to Shen Yu what happened outside the palace in a low voice.

Before Shen Yu entered the palace, he had a group of his own people in his hands, but he entered the palace in a hurry and failed to arrange these people in time, and unlike the previous life, these people could be used directly after training.

After settling in the palace, Shen Yu explained how to train these people. After a year, he almost achieved the effect he wanted.

"Send some people out as planned, especially in Hanzhou, I need to know the specific situation there." Shen Yu said.

Among the people he has trained, there are those who specialize in intelligence. Shen Yu is in the palace and knows too little about the outside world. He needs a pair of eyes to pass news from outside the palace on his behalf.

The development of this life is very different from the previous life. In the previous life, the rebellion of King Yue was not at this time, nor was it driven by a duck.

The reputation of the King of Yue in the previous life was well managed. He raised the army because of the popular will of the people and the expectation of the people, but this life is different.

Now that King Yue's reputation has been ruined, he is a rebel in his mouth. The hat of rebellion has been buckled on his head and can't be easily removed. This is undoubtedly a very uncomfortable thing for King Yue who has always cared about his reputation.

"By the way, aren't the articles criticizing the King of Yue very popular among scholars recently, as well as various small stories and nursery rhymes, etc. You let them find a way to spread these things to Hanzhou, preferably to the King of Yue. In my ears." How could King Yue not hear such a nice voice?

Back at Yuzhang Palace, Shang Junlin hadn't returned yet, so Shen Yu went to the small study.

The small study room was set up later. In addition to the books that Shang Junlin often used, the rest were all read in a gloomy manner: there were small stories from outside the palace, there were only books from the library of the palace, and Shang Junlin collected from all over the place. There are many kinds of books, as long as they are of interest to Shen Yu, they will all appear here.

Shen Yu usually paints here. Some time ago, in order to prepare a surprise for Shang Junlin, he also specially let Mu Xi guard outside when he was painting. Once Shang Junlin came over, he reminded him.

"Young master, do you want to paint?" Mu Xi asked when Shen Yu walked to the desk.

"No, you can give me a copy of Zhuangzi's roster, and get the latest one." Within a year, only those who have passed the training can further gain Shen Yin's trust.

Mu Xi walked to the Bogu shelf, opened a hidden compartment, and took out the roster inside.

Seeing that he took out several books, Shen Yu said, "Bring them all over and I'll take a look."

Mu Xi came over with the rosters and put them on the table. Some of these rosters were brought in when Shen Yu entered the palace, and some were brought in later.

At first, Shen Yu didn't plan to stay in the palace for a long time. If he didn't have enough power, he would not be able to live the life he wanted after leaving the palace. These people were the back road he prepared for himself. Now he has given up the idea of ​​leaving. These people The arrangement should also be changed.

Shen Yu was busy in the study all afternoon until the sun went down and Eunuch Meng came over.

Mu Xi walked over: "Eunuch Meng is here for something important?"

"It was Your Majesty who ordered the slave to pick up your noble lord. His Majesty is discussing with the Prime Minister and several other ministers, and he can't leave for the time being." Eunuch Meng explained his intention.

Shen Yu put down the pen, rubbed his wrist, and walked out: "Your Majesty has plans today?"

"His Majesty only said to let the slaves come to pick up the noble man, but didn't say anything specific."

Shen Yu packed up, walked out of the palace, and found that the chariots had been prepared outside.

Shen Yu was taken to the imperial study.

Shang Junlin was still discussing matters, and Shen Yu did not go in to disturb, but went to the side hall.

In fact, Shen Yu rarely comes here. The layout of the side hall is very elegant. There are pastries and tea in the hall, all of which Shen Yu likes to eat.

Eunuch Meng stayed for a while and continued to serve in the imperial study.

Not long after, the door of the side hall was pushed open again, and Shang Junlin, dressed in court clothes, walked in.

Shen Yu went up to meet him: "Why did Your Majesty bring me here?"

"I want to see you earlier," Shang Junlin stretched out his hand to wrap his gloomy waist, "Wait for a small banquet in the palace, you will come with me."

"Your Majesty can't wait for such a short time?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows.

"If I didn't see you sleeping soundly, I would have woken you up in the morning. Who didn't sleep last night and insisted on giving me a gift, eh?"

"Don't tell me, Your Majesty, because I gave you a gift, and Your Majesty didn't sleep well all night."

"What is Ayu thinking?" Shang Junlin flicked his forehead.

Eunuch Meng on the side couldn't help slandering: You haven't slept all night, you were so excited that you were looking for a place to put the paintings sent by your nobleman early in the morning.

"Has Your Majesty seen the painting? Do you like it? It's a pity that it's not as useful as the one sent last year, this year..."

Shang Junlin lowered his head and kissed Shen Yu's lips, interrupting him: "Ayu doesn't need to say this, I have said that no matter what Ayu gives, I am always happy, this time Ayu gave me a painting that I painted by myself. , I am very happy."

"Ayu's thoughts, I feel it."

Shen Yu took the initiative to hug Shang Junlin's neck and put his lips: "This is also His Majesty's birthday ceremony."

Shang Junlin used his arms hard, unceremoniously against customers.

As the lord of a country, Shang Junlin's birthday is not just a festival for him alone. Often at this time, the palace will hold a banquet, the size of which is determined according to the situation of the year. In addition, there will be a palace banquet attended by people from the harem.

State banquets are usually presided over by the Ministry of Rites. This year, due to the special circumstances, Shang Junlin did not intend to hold a big one, but the Subei Army won the battle, and it is not enough to say it at all. In the end, the Ministry of Rites ordered a slightly smaller banquet.

At the same time, this is also a celebration feast.

Not much time left before the banquet started, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin stayed in the side hall for a while, and moved to the main hall where the banquet was held together.

When they passed by, the ministers had already taken their seats, and Shang Junlin led Shen Yu to a high position. This time, no one dared to stand up and say anything.

What happened at the banquet last year is vivid in my mind. The officials who collided with the noble monarch have not yet been reinstated, and the ministers have not been in their positions enough.

Sitting next to Shang Junlin, Shen Yu was able to have a panoramic view of the facial expressions of the ministers below.

The banquet process was simplified a lot. First, the blessings to Shang Junlin were presented, and then the gifts prepared by the ministers. After these were almost over, Shang Junlin raised his head and signaled.

Eunuch Meng came over with the imperial edict.

The next time is to reward the Subei Army for meritorious deeds. Although they are not there, this reward will arrive in Subei as quickly as possible and be delivered to everyone who deserves it.

After Eunuch Meng read the imperial edict, the ministers noticed a very unfamiliar name.

- Gu Huai.

Before today, no one had heard of this name, but in this war with Beimo, the owner of this name performed too well, and His Majesty even gave him a higher official position, which made them very concerned. .

Who is this Gu Huai?

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the ministers, Shen Yu lowered his voice and asked, "Has your majesty mentioned Gu Huai to them before?"

"I didn't say the specific name. There are some problems with Gu Huai's identity. Let them know in advance. There may be unnecessary incidents."

"Your Majesty should know his true identity by now, right?" Shen Yu took the meat and put it in his mouth.

Since Shang Junlin intends to train Gu Huai, at least on the premise that the other party has no problems in all aspects, no matter how you look at it, Shang Junlin doesn't seem to have the temperament of an enemy for himself.

"If I don't know, how can I trust him to go to Subei?" Shang Jun Lin stroked Shen Yu's temples, "I will tell you in detail when I go back."

Depressed nod.

Since it is a banquet, singing and dancing are naturally indispensable. After the formal process is over, it is time for enjoyment.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, the dancer danced smartly, the light gauze fell, and the posture was graceful and moving.

Xu is because there are too few opportunities to perform. As soon as they appeared on the stage, the dancers did their best to show their most beautiful side.

Shen Yu took a few more glances, and was turned around by the dissatisfied Shang Junlin, holding his chin: "Ayu, what are you doing so seriously?"

"It's a pity that the dancing skills are so good, but I don't have the opportunity to perform on weekdays." Shen Yu sighed with emotion.

"If Ayu likes it, I will let them dance to Ayu every day?" Shang Junlin rubbed his fingers against the tender skin on the gloomy jaw.

Obviously it was a gentle tone, but for some reason, Eunuch Meng, who was standing behind the two, could hear a sense of coldness.

"Your Majesty is obviously not happy, why should you say that you are angry with yourself?"

"Why am I not happy? Ayu, come and listen."

A man's face was reflected in Shen Yu's eyes, he smiled and said playfully, "Because Your Majesty is jealous."

"I'm really jealous," Shang Junlin narrowed his eyes, "I'm jealous on my birthday, Ayu will make up for me tonight."

Looking at the rich ink color rolling in the man's eyes, Shen Yu couldn't smile anymore.
