The Submissive Emperor

Lou Jing went back to the Anguo Mansion, and then drove a carriage to Pingjianghou Mansion.

The eldest aunt was busy asking the housekeeper to pack her things. The Lingnan Mountains are high and the road is far away. The housekeeper has been preparing since a few days ago, and the house is busy and not chaotic, packing his luggage in an orderly manner. The second uncle Xu Che can't help much, so he can only sit in the main hall.

Lou Jing's carriage arrived at the door and greeted his servants to come and move things. The second uncle came out to pick him up, and he frowned as he watched the servants coming in. "Why do you buy so many things?"

"I bought these on weekdays, because no one took them. Uncle won't be able to come to the capital once in a few years, so naturally I have to bring everything I can with." Lou Jing smiled and took his uncle to the main hall.

The cloud cake for the uncle, the jade rod for the third uncle, the golden wire cage for the fourth uncle, the rouge gouache for the aunts, the riding whips for several cousins, and the jewelry for the cousin.

"This horse whip was made by a famous craftsman in Jinzhou. I expect my cousins ​​will like it." Lou Jing pointed to a few exquisite whips.

"You child, I still remember the preferences of several uncles." The eldest aunt looked at those things, her eyes moist.

The uncle likes to eat cloud cakes in Beijing the most. The third uncle often smokes dry tobacco. I heard that people in the south smoke hookahs. The pipes must not be easy to buy. And the fourth uncle likes to raise birds. Can send a cage.

"I haven't seen a few cousins ​​either. I don't know what they like, so I can only give a bucket of pearls." Lou Jing smiled. It is not appropriate to give my sister-in-law rouge gouache or personal items such as jewellery.

Madam Ping Jianghou held Lou Jing's hand and sighed, "If your eldest cousin is as sensible now, I can be less angry!"

As he was talking, someone came to report saying that the Royal Mansion of Min had sent a father-in-law.

Lou Jing was taken aback, turned to look, and saw Le Xian walked in with a festive smile. After saluting the three of them, he took out a small brocade box and held it to Mrs. Pingjiang Hou with both hands, "I heard that the general and Mrs. Hou It’s inconvenient for the prince to come back to Lingnan, so I hope the two of you don’t blame it."

"Thank you, my father-in-law, thank you for my two." The big aunt bowed in a salute, Lexian hurriedly bowed in response.

After Le Xian left, Mrs. Ping Jianghou opened the brocade box, which contained a thousand taels of rituals, "This...too much." Lou Jing is no longer the prince, and it stands to reason that Xiao Chengjun can pay a penny for them to leave. Gifts are not given, but now, does it mean to win over Ping Jianghou?

"My aunt can accept it without worry. Your Royal Highness has no intention of it." Lou Jing looked at the thousand taels of silver bills and couldn't help but curl his lips. His Royal Highness of the King of Fujian must be thinking that he would still be his uncle and aunt from left to right. Sent Yicheng over.

"The King of Min is upright and upright, who can be the crown prince except for him!" Xu Che dissatisfied.

"Second Uncle, this is in Beijing, so don't say a few words." The eldest aunt hurriedly stopped the second uncle's words, turned around and took Lou Jing to say for a long time.

These days, Lou Jing's behavior is also in their eyes, and they can really rest assured, but before leaving, they feel that they are not at ease. There is no mother and no wife to take care of. Will you remember to add clothes when it’s cold? , Is there anyone in the yamen who has been wronged to help?

Mrs. Ping Jiang Hou said more and more worried, and asked the housekeeper to pick up the winter clothes she had rushed to make for Lou Jing these days. I will feel sorry for myself." As he said, he couldn't help crying.

The thick cotton robe, with fine stitches, carries the warmth of the sun. Lou Jing put it on and tried it, and it was much more comfortable than what an outsider did. The eldest aunt has been a mother-in-law for many years, and she no longer has to do these needlework, but she made this cotton gown quickly for him, just for fear that he will be like what he did a few years ago, because the stepmother is fighting with the maid. And no winter clothes to wear.

Beiya had nothing to do on weekdays, so Lou Jing sat in Pingjiang Mansion until dusk, and then got up and went to Zuixianlou.

Zhou Song had already waited in the room, and called a singer to sing Jiangnan minor.

Lou Jing rewarded the singer with a silver bead and waved her to leave.

"Hey, when did you become so boring?" Zhou Song looked at the pretty showgirl holding the piano and leaving.

Lou Jing raised his eyebrows, and Zhou Song shrank his neck in fright, and hurriedly got up to pour him wine.

"Recently, the DPRK and China are discussing the repair of the Qinghe River." Zhou Song asked the young man to guard the door. Then he talked about business. "My third uncle has just been promoted to the Qingzhou provincial governor. I also have someone in the Ministry of Engineering. Participate."

Lou Jing's pupils shrank, and Xiao Chengjun had just told him about the river course in the afternoon.

Repairing rivers is a major event. During this period, the court’s transfer of silver was relatively slow, and local construction had to be started. Naturally, they had to borrow money first. They invested the money and returned it to them when the court’s money came. The price difference is more than doubled.

"This is a good thing, how many do you plan to vote?" Lou Jing raised his hand and clinked glasses with him.

"I have nearly 20,000 taels of silver in my hand!" Zhou Song said proudly. The money was actually a private property he asked for his mother. He himself also had a few thousand taels of silver. Mrs. Guan Xihou loved the younger son and believed that he did not do anything on weekdays. For squandering, he was given ten thousand taels of silver.

Lou Jing squinted his eyes, "If we were to rely on the Ministry of Engineering, we would be able to invest fifty thousand taels in the sky."

"Fifty thousand taels is too small?" Zhou Song's eyes widened.

"Don't say anything about this first, I'll go and inquire about it." Lou Jing waved his hand and motioned him to stay calm and not irritable. This is not as simple as it used to be, because Shen Lian, who is greedy for money, also wants to make peace, and Shen Lian takes the shot. Basically, there are no errands that can't be taken, so we have to plan for a long time.

Zhou Song has always believed in Lou Jing very much, and when he saw his solemn expression, he nodded. He had to go and pull a few honorable children into the group, so he put it aside.

"Master, Qingyang Bo Shizi brought a few young masters over here." Xiao Si reported from outside the door.

The two people in the room naturally stopped talking. Not long after, Qingyang Bo Shizi lifted the curtain and entered, "I said I saw the little boy on Tuesday, but I didn't expect the building to be there."

"I can meet you everywhere!" Zhou Song curled his lips in disgust.

Qingyang Bo Shizi smiled and gave Zhou Song a punch, "Why, I don't want to see me, and I will introduce you to you. This is the second master Guangcheng." After saying this, he pulled a handsome boy behind him to They refer.

Lou Jing looked up, but he remembered that Luo Pei, the second son of Uncle Guangcheng's family, was the first choice for the crown prince, and he couldn't help but take a second look. He was pretty, but cowardly, and smiled a little unpleasantly.

Not all the nobles have contact. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the great ancestor made a lot of earls of the marquis, but today, a hundred years later, there are not many families that really remain prominent. People like Uncle Guangcheng and Bo Yongningbo, Wei's maiden family, are gradually declining because there is no military merit in the two or three generations, and they are not holy favorites. Therefore, this Lord Luo doesn't usually interact with them very much, and this time somehow caught up with Qingyang Bo Shizi.

"Sit." Lou Jing didn't get up at all. He raised his chin and signaled everyone to take their seats. No one dared to say that he was rude and sat smiling.

The rest of the people are acquaintances, so there is no need to say more. Everyone pushes their cups and talks about anecdotes in Beijing, and the atmosphere is okay.

"I respect the son of Anguo," Luo Pei smiled and got up, pouring Lou Jing wine, "Congratulations to the son of the title."

He didn't choose the prince, but he still hated Lou Jing for a long time. Now that the prince is abolished, Luo Pei is very thankful that he did not marry into the palace. Now that he said these words, he really wanted to please Lou Jing. After all, in his opinion, it was a blessing for him to marry and return to the original owner.

As soon as the words came out, the room fell silent.

Qingyang Bo Shizi's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "That's right, Lou Da, you came back yesterday, so I don't want to ask us for a drink."

"Busy to clean up yesterday." Lou Jing responded with a smile, picking up a crab leg and holding it in his mouth, as if he hadn't seen Lord Luo who was embarrassed to toast.

Instead of easing the atmosphere, it became more tense.

Zhou Song glanced at the second son of Guangcheng Bo who could not speak, then turned to Bo Shizi of Qingyang and said: "I am also promoted, don't you say to accompany me for a couple of drinks?"

Qingyang Bo Shizi smiled and clinked glasses with him, the atmosphere became warm again, and no one paid any attention to Luo Pei.

When he drank to the middle of the moon, Lou Jing said that he was too strong to drink, so he got up and left. The crowd took him outside the restaurant and went back to continue drinking.

Uncle Qingyang fell a few steps behind, sinking his face, and said to his little servant: "When you leave later, you will return the things that Lord Luo gave back to his little servant."

"Yes." Xiao Si hurriedly replied in a low voice.

Lou Jing walked back from Zuixianlou to Luotangfang without any attendants. The wind of late autumn blows on the face, it is very cold, but it can make people who drink alcohol wake up. Without returning to the Vermilion Bird Hall, Lou Jing walked directly outside the Mansion of the King of Min Dynasty and lightly stepped in over the wall.

Xiao Chengjun hadn't slept yet. He waved a few words in the study. Suddenly a pair of warm hands came up from behind, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Have you overturned the wall again?"

"Yeah." Lou Jing stuck to His Royal Highness Minwang's back and rubbed comfortably.

Xiao Chengjun reluctantly dragged the guy on his back to wash, An Shun and Le Xian watched the two of them go to bed.

As soon as the curtain was pulled up, Lou Jing held down His Royal Highness Minwang, and kissed the soft lips.

"Um..." Xiao Chengjun was caught off guard, and he kissed him.

Lou Jing was a little unreliable in her heart, anxiously trying to confirm something, with a three-point alcohol kiss, a little wilder than usual, and it took a long time to slowly separate.

"Chengjun..." Lou Jing propped his arms and looked down at His Royal Highness the King of Min who was breathing slightly, "If I were a traitor, would you be angry?"

Xiao Chengjun was stunned, shook his head slowly, and stretched out his hand to caress that handsome face, "Do whatever you want, I believe you." As soon as he said this, he clearly saw the beautiful eyes, and they became bright in an instant. Yes, like stars in the night sky, bright and moving.

Nothing can be worth a sentence of "I believe in you." Believing in you means that no matter what you do, I know that you are not a traitor to harm the country and the people, but a devoted loyal minister.

Lou Jing couldn't help the joy that was about to overflow in his heart, and hugged His Royal Highness Minwang tightly, and kissed him unruly.

Xiao Chengjun stretched out his hand and stroked the back of the person in his body, making the Sa Huan guys noisy.

The boy's body couldn't hold back teasing, and the two kissed from shallow to deep, which quickly made each other react. Lou Jing reached into the soft underwear and stroked it back and forth on the smooth and pliable chest, kissing and slowly rubbing against each other.

The rubbing of the clothes eased the body's craving a little, but soon aroused a deeper desire and swallowed up reason.
