Half a month later, Cao Bin and Yang Ye completed the establishment of the former camp military government and the gathering of the forbidden army, and they were about to leave Beijing.

At this time, the wind is full of coolness, and autumn is quietly coming before you know it. Guo Shao bid farewell at the Xuande Gate of the Imperial City and gave wine to practice. When the two bid farewell to the emperor, they will go in two different directions; Yang Ye to the west, Cao Bin to the south.

Guo Shao stood at the head of the city, looking at the war horses under the city and moving away. Living in temples and harems quite regularly every day, I have long been used to it, and I suddenly envy their long journey.

He stood at the head of the city for a long time, until the generals on the royal street disappeared from view.

Guo Shao is no longer a willful person, and he will not ignore the minister's admonition and go out of Beijing to do some private visits. Although the safety hazard is very small, Guo Shao has truly experienced the serious consequences of his life danger...... The aftermath of the last poisoning is still not far away.

And in his opinion, the main role of the emperor in doing such a thing is nothing more than fun, and basically does not play any substantive role. Under the rule of the Daxu Dynasty, there were more than 400 states, thousands of counties, and countless common people. He wants to be the master of the people, and how many things can he do himself? What really makes sense is the means at the center, at the general level.

This is to be in his position and to seek his government.

Guo Shao returned to the Jinxiang Hall and continued to do what he did every day.

Until he returned to the Long Live Hall at the time of the unitary time, Guo Shao wondered who was sleeping tonight. In this palace, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea have long been rare, and the greatest pleasure in ordinary life is only beauty, and beauty is the most indispensable thing in the court. If it weren't for the extravagance and lewdness, I'm afraid the imperial city would also be a cage for the emperor.

At this moment, the eunuch Wang Zhong came in and reported: "Official's family, Zhou Zhaoyi has a cold, but it happened to be her turn tonight...... But if this happens, why don't the slaves and maids serve the concubines of the official family again? ”

"No." Guo Shao said without hesitation.

He paused and said, "Prepare the car, I will go to the palace to see her condition." ”

Wang Zhong immediately bowed down and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

When I came to Zhou Xian's Palace, only the eunuch palace maid came out to greet him. Guo Shao ignored them and went straight into Zhou Xian's bedroom. There were two palace maids kneeling in the room, Zhou Xian was lying on the bed, struggling to sit up, and Lu Lan, who was sitting next to him, also stood up and said ten thousand blessings.

"The concubine can't give a salute to His Majesty......" Zhou Xian's face was pale, and a strand of messy hair was on his forehead.

Guo Shao strode forward, grabbed her shoulders and said, "You just have to give birth and recuperate." ”

At this time, Lu Lan said: "Your Majesty, the wind and cold will infect others, so it is not appropriate to get too close at this time." ”

When Zhou Xian heard this, a subtle expression flashed on his face, and he immediately said: "Lu Wanyi's medical skills are exquisite, and it is better to listen to her if she comes to diagnose and treat the concubine in person." The official family is busy with state affairs, if it is infected with the cold by the concubine, is it not the sin of the concubine? ”

Guo Shao turned his head very skillfully and casually: "Is Emperor E's illness important?" ”

Lu Lan said: "The seasons change, hot and cold, the most prone to cold, Zhou Zhaoyi is only occasionally infected with cold, there are people in the palace to take care of it, just take medicine to recuperate, and heal naturally." Your Majesty don't worry too much. ”

"That's good, that's good." Guo Shaodao, looked at Lu Lan's face again, and said, "Thank you Mrs. Lu." ”

Lu Lan's face was a little red, and she whispered: "The concubine is already a person in the palace, what is Your Majesty thanking." ”

Guo Shao remembered that the title had not been changed, and it was a bit unusual to call "Niangzi" (equivalent to the title of Miss Lady). After weighing and thinking about it before, he gave a title to some women around him, and Lu Lan was one of them, but the name was there, and she hadn't slept until now.

"That's it." Guo Shao smiled to cover up his slip of the tongue.

Zhou Xian was lying there, but Guo Shao and Lu Lan said a few words as if no one was around, probably because they had long been familiar with it.

Zhou Xian opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty is still so good to us, and he is in a hurry to come and see me in person when he has a minor illness." ”

Guo Shao turned his head to look at her.

Zhou Xian said again: "The concubine is having something to discuss, and I wanted to wait until the illness is cured." His Majesty is here today, and the concubine will take advantage of this time to talk about it. After that, he glanced at Lu Lan.

Guo Shao said kindly: "Lu Wanyi will go and rest for a while, and I will take care of Zhou Zhaoyi." ”

Lu Lan curtsied, turned around and went out. The two palace maids in the room also retreated in amusement.

Guo Shao pulled the waist round stool next to the bed, sat in front of the bed, and waited for Zhou Xian to say something.

Zhou Xian was silent for a while before he spoke: "The concubine can't serve Your Majesty today, so let Sister Tuesday ...... the concubine."

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "It doesn't have to be like this. ”

Zhou Xian pursed his lips and said, "Sister Tuesday is not young, if you can't serve Your Majesty, where should you go?" ”

Guo Shao fell silent.

The two sisters of the Zhou family are the in-laws of the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they are still Guo Shao's captives, but because of their friendship, Guo Shao did not treat them as prisoners. After Guo Shao destroyed the country, he occupied Zhou Xian in a bright way, and her sister Zhou Jiamin was also raised in the palace...... If Zhou Jiamin leaves the palace again, it will not be appropriate in all aspects. And Guo Shao was reluctant to give away the stunning beauty he had taken back.

To his surprise, it was Zhou Xian who took the initiative to bring it up...... In Guo Shao's memory, the two sisters would have been jealous because of their jealousy, and Zhou Xian was angry to death during his illness.

After thinking about it, their current situation was different from that of the court of the Southern Tang Kingdom. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhou Xian was the queen of the country, and he was equal to the queen; Others, even if it is their own sister to fight, will make Zhou Xian lose a lot of favor.

But now, Zhou Xianzheng can't fight for his sister's head, because there are other concubines whose status is not lower than her. If Sister Tuesday is favored, Zhou Xian may not feel good, at least it is still his own family, and he will not let Zhou Xian lose anything.

The right path is that the circumstances are different, and they are not the same.

When Guo Shao thought of this, his heart suddenly changed.

Zhou Xian said: "Your Majesty, don't leave tonight, go to the back room to eat and change clothes first." The concubine will arrange this. ”

Guo Shao agreed, and after leaving Zhou Xian's dormitory, he walked under the corridor outside the door, and suddenly saw the pavilion where he saw Zhou Mei last time. For a while, he was a little looking forward to it, and after being in the harem for a long time, such expectations were very rare.

A young soul who has changed the path of fate, and the life full of youthful vitality is gradually approaching. Guo Shao is looking forward to not only beauty, but also that encounter.

…… After nightfall, Guo Shao waited for Zhou Jiamin in a bedroom with mixed feelings.

The weather tonight was fine, outside the translucent screens, the moon and sparse stars were hazy; The cold moonlight shines through the screen window, painted a warm red.

Just as Guo Shao was pacing around in front of the window, watching the night and thinking at the same time. The door was opened with a "squeak", Guo Shao looked back, and saw Zhou Jiamin walking into the room.

"Meet Your Majesty......" Zhou Jiamin's voice trembled with nervousness, and he half-squatted there. She wore a light red skirt as thin as cicada wings, and her hair was pulled up.

Guo Shao strode over and helped her up. When Zhou Jiamin stood up, her size was just Guo Shao's shoulders, which made her even more petite and immature. Sure enough, it can be called a rare beauty, the jade white skin is like satin, as if it will melt in the moonlight, between the beautiful eyebrows, the aura of the water spirit is pleasing to the eye, like the dust of the world.

Although Guo Shao has been fighting in the wind and sun all year round, his appearance and skin are also ordinary, but standing in front of Zhou Jiamin, his face and palms look very rough, and the two of them seem to be of the same race at all.

Zhou Jiamin stood there as if he had taken root, his face was crimson and he couldn't move, his body was stiff, and he forgot about his gratitude after being helped up, and said in a stiff tone: "My sister called me to ......"

Guo Shao said casually: "Do you know what to do?" ”

Zhou Jiamin bowed his head and said nothing, and then never said a word.

Guo Shao woke up to the mistake of the question just now?

He paused for a while, and in order to reduce the embarrassment of the cold scene, he said softly: "The moonlight is good tonight. ”

Zhou Jiamin remained silent.

For a while, Guo Shao felt that the scene of meeting tonight was completely unimaginable, and remembered that day when they met in the pavilion in the rain, they talked and got along very well...... But somehow, it's like this now. The little girl is just nervous and panicked? Or maybe this little lady doesn't treat Guo Shao as a lover or something like that at all, just a big brother or elder?

It's all very likely. According to Guo Shao's experience, girls in middle school at that time valued handsomeness the most at the beginning of their love. Guo Shao is a tall and burly man, his face is also ordinary, and he is older, even if he has a lot of benefits, he really doesn't necessarily like an ignorant little girl.

Gradually, Guo Shao felt a little disappointed, and found that he and a teenage ancient girl may not have a common language at all. Since living in the palace and facing thousands of women competing for favor, he has unconsciously become more and more impatient with women.

Guo Shao let go of the unrealistic things he had imagined, but his tone was still habitually gentle, and he said casually: "Look at the moon with me." With that, he tentatively reached out and took her wrist.

Seeing that Zhou Jiamin did not resist, he grabbed her wrist and led her to the window. Guo Shao's rough big palm is very incongruous with Zhou Jiamin's hand, and the difference in size is too great, as if Guo Shao can lift her whole body with a slight force. But he didn't use any force, and grabbed it gently, careful not to hurt her.

The two of them stood in front of the window admiring the moon, and they had nothing to say at all. Zhou Jiamin should be very good at poetry and songs, but Guo Shao's appearance seems to have nothing to do with that Wenmo.

Guo Shao was thinking about whether there were any ancient poems praising the moonlight in his mind, and took them out to suit the occasion, but his mind was confused for a while, and he couldn't think of anything. If you don't think about something for a long time, it's easy to get stuck when you think about it suddenly.

So he simply went straight to the theme of tonight, let go of Zhou Jiamin's wrist with a very casual movement, and put his palm on her shoulder. On the delicate and delicate shoulders was placed a large rough hand with bulging tendons, and it was impossible to look at it directly.

Guo Shao moved his fingers slowly, watching her reaction, cautiously. It's really a subconscious mentality, Guo Shao doesn't want to force and insult Sister Tuesday at all.

At this moment, Zhou Jiamin's body moved slightly. Guo Shao hurriedly took his hand away.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly threw herself into Guo Shao's arms and put her face on Guo Shao's big chest muscles. Guo Shao was stunned, very surprised.

There was no sound at all, and no one spoke. Zhou Jiamin's face and nose were constantly rubbing in Guo Shao's arms, still smelling his scent, and his body was trembling slightly.

In the silent moment, Guo Shao didn't understand what the situation was at all, and after a while, he put his arm around her and stayed quietly in the hazy moonlight.
