The next day, Duan Changchuan woke up at Yinshi as usual.
Unexpectedly, Bai Su, who usually did not get up until the morning, woke up today when she heard his noise.
The woman was still wearing her snow-white underdress, her long hair was loose, and she only loosely draped an outer robe before knocking on the door and entering his bedroom.
Before anyone entered, the fragrance of peony had already penetrated into the room through the crack in the door.
Duan Changchuan sniffed it gently and said, "It smells much better than last night."
Bai Su took the clothes from Changle and helped him put them on one by one. She said, "Did I forget to tell you that you can't sniff other people's pheromones casually? Pheromones are the private organs of AO. You are a hooligan, do you know that, Duan Xiaochuan?"
The boy's breathing paused noticeably.
He stiffened his neck and retorted: "Then... Then you also looked at my glands, why didn't you say anything! You even looked at them twice. And the pheromones were obviously released by you, aren't you more of a rogue than me?"
The woman fastened the last button on his shirt and patted it gently.
Then he let out a breathy laugh.
The teasing in her narrow eyes was hard to hide, and she said, "I am a hooligan to begin with. I thought Your Majesty knew it on the day of the wedding."
"you… !"
I want to say: How can you, a woman, be so shameless
I was also afraid that the other party would reply: What is face? I don't have such a thing.
Wouldn’t that make you even more angry
The angry words were stuck in my throat and couldn't come out.
Ah...! How could there be such a person who is not only not ashamed of being called a hooligan, but also proud of it
"Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore. I heard that you've been very busy with court affairs recently, so I wanted to have some fun with you. Besides politics, can you think of something else in your head, ok?"
The person in front of him said this, pinching his earlobe affectionately.
The eyebrows are curved.
Bai Su's fingers were not so delicate because of years of doing rough labor. She practiced sword skills every night in recent days, and a thin layer of calluses formed on the tips of her fingers.
It feels rough and warm when touching the sensitive skin.
The boy realized later...that he was being cared for.
He looked away uncomfortably, feeling a little awkward: "I am the emperor, of course I have to think about government affairs all the time..."
"Well, I will pay attention..."
I heard an indulgent, "Yeah, very good."
…
-
At the hour of Mao, the morning court begins on time.
In March, the Spring Examination was still the focus of discussion among the ministers.
The Ministry of Rites presented the final regulations and read the memorial in the hall:
"The examination will be held on the sixth day of March. The examination venue is in the Shuge Building in Shengjing, and will be guarded and supervised by people sent by the Ministry of War."
"In addition, the review of the papers for the Spring Examination and the Palace Examination will be handed over to the Grand Secretary and the Grand Tutor. The questions will be decided by lot on the sixth day of March."
…
The regulations had been decided long ago, and reading the memorial now was just a formality. Duan Changchuan felt drowsy after listening to it, but he still had to force himself to stay awake.
It's torture.
He managed to hold on until the end of the court session. His thighs were probably pinched red from himself. He looked sleepy and listless... and inexplicably hungry.
He had clearly already had breakfast before the morning court session, and the court session wasn't long... but Duan Changchuan felt as if he had been hungry for a whole day and night, and he really wanted to eat.
"Changle, what snacks did the kitchen prepare today?"
The young eunuch quickly responded, "Your Majesty, today we have prepared horse hoof cake and peach blossom cake, and the tea we have prepared is Biluochun. I will ask them to send it to the study right now?"
Duan Changchuan looked at the sun that had already climbed to the top of the sky, and the willow catkins floating on the red walls and green tiles...
He suddenly remembered what Bai Su said to him this morning.
[How can people be so tense all the time? If others want to be tense, let them be tense. Anyone who is tense will die sooner, you know?]
[Zhou Yu was talking and laughing when the masts and oars were reduced to ashes. Since everything has been arranged, just wait for it to be done. As for the rest, we can deal with it as it comes. You keep worrying about this and that, and you are worrying about things that have not happened. This is not called diligence, but internal consumption.]
[Duan Changchuan, don't exhaust yourself like this. ]
She said at the time.
The young man looked at the clear sky, his eyes reflecting a deep blue.
Suddenly, he curled his lips and said, "Let the small kitchen deliver the snacks directly to the Cuju field, and let Yang Qing call a few guards to practice a few moves with me."
"Yes... ah? Your Majesty, do you want to play Cuju? But Doctor Fang said that it's best for you not to do any strenuous exercise right now. Cuju is so difficult... I feel... Eh? Your Majesty?"
Changle kept bending over and walking slowly.
After chattering for a while, I realized that the person in bright yellow had disappeared long ago.
He stood up in a daze. The young emperor had already taken off his crown and was walking forward with big strides, getting farther and farther away from him.
He hurriedly trotted over and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty! Please wait for me! The imperial physician said that you can't walk so much or so fast recently!"
"Don't follow me, just go to the kitchenette and get some snacks."
"Eh? Eh! I'll go right away... Please go slower..."
"I know, no need to bother."
-
When Duan Changchuan arrived at the Cuju field, he ate two snacks in a row and drank a large bowl of lotus root powder, feeling very satisfied.
Since it was not advisable to move too vigorously after eating, he just watched the guards on the field kick.
Soon, most of the people surrounded the stadium.
There were members of the royal family who came to join in the fun, as well as maids and eunuchs who were off duty today.
Datong is more open and has fewer restrictions. When people heard that the emperor was holding a Cuju competition here, more and more people gathered there.
The atmosphere on the scene became visibly heated:
"Hey, hey, hey, guard against him, guard against him! Hey, I can't guard against him and see!"
"Hahaha, he's our captain of the guards. How can he be so easy to defend against? You're doomed if you go!"
"Ah, right! Kick! East, east, east, kick it east, past him! Beautiful!"
"Hey hey hey! Good shot!"
Duan Changchuan felt itchy when he saw this, but considering his reputation as the emperor, he just drank his tea "calmly".
However, those dark eyes were staring particularly intently, and the arms hidden in the wide sleeves were shaking from time to time.
After waiting for nearly an hour, the guards finally finished their game. He then "slowly and methodically" took off his outer robe and walked off the field in full view of everyone.
The young man had black hair tied up in a high ponytail and was dressed in dazzling gold.
Spin the ball, dribble past the opponent, kick the ball up and into the basket, just like flowing water.
He took the lead right from the start.
A lot of people around applauded:
"Your Majesty, what a handsome ball!"
"What are you standing there for? Change your tactics quickly. Defend against His Majesty! Let His Majesty go! Defend against the king first to defend against the thieves, understand?"
"Attack, if you can't defend, attack him!"
Someone on the battlefield responded, shouting, "Your Majesty, can you defend yourself?"
The other side shouted angrily: "Why can't we defend it? Come on, brothers, with more than ten people, can't we surround His Majesty?"
"Hahahaha, you guys are a bunch of scoundrels!"
"Why don't you just use human flesh to trap His Majesty in the middle? This is a foul, a foul!"
As a result, amid the cheers, the young man held the ball with both feet and did a bicycle kick, passing the ball directly out of the encirclement.
The players who had been surrounding the emperor were stunned when they saw the ball fly out.
It was said that it would protect His Majesty, but it turned out to be an iron barrel? Who would have thought that the iron barrel was indeed hard, but it was not high enough!
Immediately everyone scattered and hurriedly chased the ball.
Of course, it's too late.
The situation on the field changes rapidly. Not only has the ball been kicked into their own field, but all their defenses are not under the basket.
The red player kicked the ball as if he was in an empty space.
Not surprisingly, the Red Team scored the second goal.
"Hahaha, you can't win even if you cheat, Lululu! Stop kicking, it's embarrassing!"
"Are you stupid? It's not like we only have one member, Your Majesty, Lululu!"
Duan Changchuan watched the players kick the ball into the basket and heard the noise around him, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.
When I looked again, I found that someone had stood in the empty seat.
A phoenix embroidered with gold thread and wearing a bright red dress.
In the flying willow catkins, she was looking at him quietly, with a faint smile between her brows.
It's Bai Su.
Duan Changchuan calmed himself down, turned around and went back to the game as if nothing had happened.
Bai Su watched the young man exchange glances with her, then ran back with a noticeable bit of stiffness, and she couldn't help but smile inwardly.
I just sat down, poured myself a cup of tea, and drank it quietly.
On the other side, Yi Man also brought someone over and said, "Doctor Fang, why are you here? Sit over here. Master has gone to watch His Majesty's competition. I'll go get him."
"I...! I have already told Eunuch Le that His Majesty should not do any exercise now. You said so well at the beginning, but now you are accompanying His Majesty to play Cuju? His Majesty is better at riding a horse than playing Cuju where he could fall at any time... I am not exaggerating, but if His Majesty falls, none of us will be able to pay for it!"
"Ah... Ah? Is it really that serious? Master Fang, please wait a moment, I will call Master over right away!"
"I will go down with you and persuade His Majesty to come back."
The conversation between the two caught Bai Su's attention.
Alpha frowned, grabbed Fang Moyan's arm, and asked coldly, "What's wrong with your majesty? Why is it not suitable for you to exercise?"
Fang Moyan saw her and bowed quickly: "I greet the Queen, please forgive me, I have something urgent to do, so I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he took advantage of Bai Su's distraction, pulled out his sleeves, and hurriedly ran down the stairs.
Bai Su looked at the sweaty boy not far away, and then looked at Fang Moyan who had walked downstairs to scold Changle...
I felt a little panic for no reason.
The next moment, Fang Moyan snatched the flag of the deployment correction officer and called an emergency stop to the game.
The sound was so loud that the whole stadium could hear it.
But it was this that caused the originally orderly stadium to suddenly become a mess.
Everyone looked towards the referee's position at the same time, but due to inertia, they were still running and several of them bumped into each other in an instant.
And at the very center of the "fight" on the field, that bright yellow figure was right in the eye of the storm.
"Your Majesty, be careful! Your Majesty!"
Changle screamed so hard that his throat was broken.
Watching the bright yellow figure fall to the ground because of a collision.
Bai Su's anxiety reached its peak.
