Xue Yuan would directly want to take the ink stone and smash that Chu Wei who provoked him, but if he did, I'm afraid that the little emperor would really get angry.
There is nothing to be afraid of when the little emperor is angry, Xue Yuan as long as he does not die, as long as he retains his breath, he dares to do anything. The means by which the little emperor punished him, tortured or tormented, Xue Yuan can endure.
The only thing he can't stand is being angry.
But Xue Yuan, who is not afraid of anything, really doesn't want to see the little emperor's angry face at him. The little emperor did not have a good face to him a few times, originally did not feel anything, but now Xue Yuan thought, how even that dog can have a good face, he did not?
He walked all the way to the Hanlin Academy, and also thought all the way to why the little emperor couldn't just smile at him.
Smiling at him, not to mention going to wash the horse, sweeping the horse manure once more wouldn't be in the way. With a slightly better face, it wouldn't be impossible to let Xue Yuan bury himself in the water for a day.
The more you can't get, the more you want, Xue Yuan is very cheap, can't see himself being treated differently. The more the little emperor is cold to him, the more he punishes him hard, now he also wants to see him good face to him.
Bitch to the bone.
When Xue Yuan carried two ink slabs to the Hanlin Academy, Chu Wei and Kong Yilin, who learned that the saint gave the reward, hurried out and the first thing they saw was him.
Kong Yilin didn't recognize Xue Yuan, but Chu Wei's face turned cold as soon as he saw Xue Yuan, and the dislike between his expressions was not even bothering to hide it.
"This one is?" Kong Yilin stepped forward and asked with an arch.
Xue Yuan hooked up an affectionate smile, "This is the one the saint said was Editor Kong?"
Kong Yilin nodded, and as soon as his gaze lowered, it landed on top of the finely carved wooden box that Xue Yuan was holding in his hands.
Chu Wei stepped forward with an expressionless face, similarly arching his hand and saying, "I've bothered Servant Xue to make this trip."
"What kind of labor is it to share your worries for His Majesty?" Xue Yuan said with a fake smile, "It's all what I should do for Your Majesty."
Kong Yilin seemed as if he didn't see anything wrong between them, "Servant Xue, I wonder what His Majesty has rewarded us with?"
Xue Yuan threw two wooden boxes into his arms, "Inkstones."
Kong Yilin revealed a smile, "Many thanks for the reward, Your Majesty."
Chu Wei glanced at the wooden box in Kong Yilin's hands and also revealed a smiling appearance.
This smile fell in Xue Yuan's eyes, it is the evidence that Chu Wei has a crush on the emperor. Xue Yuan collected the smile, he coldly glanced at Chu Wei, pressed the killing intent turned to leave. Chu Wei similarly disgusted glance at his back, the two people simply look at each other.
Xue Yuan's face was still hard to look at as he walked towards the emperor's chambers.
All the way to the bedchamber with a sullen face, Xue Yuan arms loaded with "thick gifts" suddenly jumped out of his body, footsteps quickly fled away.
Xue Yuan was caught off guard, his brows tightened, and he fiercely followed in the direction of the "thick gift".
*
The palace maid waiting in the hall felt her feet fuzzy, looked down, her face suddenly changed, and she shrieked out.
The small things on the foot surface were frightened by the screams and shifted around in fear, and one by one the palace maids in the hall were frightened to the point that their faces turned white and shivered, and the positions where they stood were disorganized into a state of disarray.
Tian Fusheng bellowed, "What are they all calling for?"
A palace maid said with a sob, "Master Chief, there are rats here."
Where had those who served in the palace, especially those who served beside the Emperor, seen such a thing?
Gu Yuanbai was still calmly eating his meal and ordered the guards to catch the rats. Most of the girls would be afraid of such things, and if they didn't catch the rats, a few of them would cry out.
The guards were busy running all over the place, and the hall was a mess. Gu Yuanbai suddenly heard a small "squeak", he paused for a moment, put down his chopsticks, and looked down at the table. He was met with a pair of dark, unflattering bean eyes.
"Little thing," Gu Yuanbai stretched out his hand and laughed, "You're good at hiding."
No one in the hall full of people dared to come toward the emperor.
The little mouse had a gray fur and sniffed the smell of Gu Yuanbai's hand, mojo because there was a food aroma on his hand, it sniffed and sniffed and climbed onto Gu Yuanbai's hand.
Gu Yuanbai raised his hand and gently caressed the fur on the little thing, the fur was shiny and smooth, the fat was raised with soft skin, it looked like a domesticated pet.
Tian Fusheng's afterglow glanced at the object in His Holiness' hand, and his entire body jumped, "Your Holiness!"
The guards who were catching the rats looked up and were startled along with them. The head guard was busy taking two steps forward and said anxiously, "Your Holiness! I will catch this thing here!"
"No need," Gu Yuanbai placed the little mouse on the table, used his chopsticks to clip a slice of meat and put it in front of the mouse, watched as the little mouse nibbled on the slice of meat and then leisurely slid his fingertips along the mouse's fur, "It's just a little thing, it's quite comfortable to touch."
Tian Fusheng looked at the mouse does not look like it will bite, before the face rectified the palace guards in the hall. The palace maids wiped away the tears on their faces, collected their fright, and stood back to their positions in a disciplined manner.
As he was having his meal, Xue Yuan walked in. As soon as he came in, he saw the mouse on the table that was gnawing on the meat, and his eyelids jumped, so it was here.
Gu Yuanbai saw him come in, "Have the things been sent over?"
Xue Yuan said, "Yes."
Gu Yuanbai originally wanted to ask him if he had any eyes with Chu Wei, a thought, or forget it, too lazy to ask. So lazy nodded, let him go aside to stay.
Xue Yuan, however, did not move first, but said, "Your Holiness, this little pet is something that I raised."
Gu Yuanbai gave a start at his words and looked up at him, "Raised by Servant Xue?"
Xue Yuan nodded, "I thought that the little heartless in the palace would be lonely, so I brought my little favorites to keep the little heartless company."
Little heartless? Gu Yuanbai wondered, "And who is Little Heartless?"
"It's that sweat-blooded BMW of His Majesty's," Xue Yuan said truthfully, "that horse is very heartless, I fed it and bathed it, and instead of appreciating it, it ended up puckering its hooves and kicking me."
Gu Yuanbai was amused by the image he spoke of, "That horse is called Red Cloud."
Xue Yuan suddenly realized, "I have remembered."
Gu Yuanbai stroked the little mouse and added, "What is this thing called?"
Xue Yuan said, "I have not yet named it."
Seeing that the little mouse had finished eating the meat, Gu Yuanbai pinched its neck and lifted it up, then threw it towards Xue Yuan, "Since it's for Hong Yun to play with, then send it to Hong Yun."
Xue Yuan quasi-caught the little mouse and asked, "Your Holiness doesn't like it?"
The Sage was wiping his hands with a pad, and the delicate embroidery on the pad didn't look as good as his hands, when he sniffed and glanced at Xue Yuan, saying, "Compared to this little thing, I prefer the wolves that Servant Xue keeps in his residence."
Xue Yuan said, "Your Holiness, wolves can bite."
His Holiness was not afraid, and said lightly, "Wouldn't a few beatings and starvation make you obedient?"
Xue Yuan grinned, "Your Holiness said yes."
Meals were collected by the palace people, Gu Yuanbai took people out for a walk to eliminate food. He walked in the front, today wearing a darker color of the regular clothes, walking between the dark lines are hidden. Deep clothes lining skin color, wrist and neck more and more tender to see.
Xue Yuan followed behind, glancing at his back and then at the little mouse in his arms.
"Useless thing," was the suppressed dislike between the opening and closing of his lips, "can't even hook a man."
The little mouse blinked its black, beady eyes, not understanding a single word Xue Yuan said.
Nowadays, the imperial garden is beautiful, and all kinds of flowers and grasses are blooming to dazzle people. Gu Yuanbai took a slow walk for a while, and eventually walked to a tree with lush branches.
Tian Fusheng looked around and suddenly pointed to the top of the tree and laughed, "Your Holiness, look."
Gu Yuanbai looked up and saw that on the top of the tree between the leaf cover, there was a tiny kite on one side showing a small yellow corner, Tian Fusheng laughed: "This kite looks old, it should be the Palace Consort of the late Emperor's time to get it on the tree."
Gu Yuanbai just looked at it a few more times, and Xue Yuan had already walked up, "Your Holiness, I'll take it down?"
Now he looks at Gu Yuanbai with a careful eye color, as if he has been tamed. Gu Yuanbai knew in his heart that there was no such thing as a good tamer, but in reality, he was quite satisfied with Xue Yuan's attitude.
It's very conquest-satisfying.
Gu Yuanbai nodded, and Xue Yuan looked up towards the tree, threw the little mouse on the ground, and with a push on his feet, he abruptly scurried up the tree.
He was tall, with long hands and feet, and unusual strength, and climbed the branches of the tree to reach the kite in three or two strokes, and the whole action seemed to be easy and half difficult.
The people around him looked at him like this and had already decided that Xue Yuan would be fine. But Xue Yuan, who was so simple to get up the tree, jumped to the emperor's side when he got down the tree, and when someone suddenly appeared beside him, Gu Yuanbai subconsciously took a step backward, his balance failed, and Xue Yuan also followed and fell towards Gu Yuanbai.
His back touched the tree, and Gu Yuanbai was pressed against the trunk by Xue Yuan, who barely supported the tree with both hands to avoid crushing His Holiness, and apologized after he stabilized his balance, "Your Holiness, it seems that I stepped on a small stone, and my footsteps are unsteady."
The hot air spat on Gu Yuanbai's body, and the Saint, who was covered in delicate flesh and skin, was smoked white and red by the hot air from Xue Yuan's body. His Holiness was too delicate, and at such a close distance, the white flesh on his face looked like clouds, looking as if it could melt in his mouth.
Gu Yuanbai tilted his head, his neck straining, frowning impatiently, "Stand back."
Xue Yuan was about to back away, when he saw a bunch of hornets suddenly rushing over from the side, his face changed, and he made a decisive decision to press the head of the saint in his arms, and he himself immediately lowered his head, burying his face in a head of green silk of the little emperor.
"Where did so many wasps come from?!" Tian Fusheng asked in horror.
"Not good, escort!" The head guard's face changed, "Eunuch, someone in the back accidentally touched a hornet's nest!"
The people all surrounded towards Gu Yuanbai, and Gu Yuanbai's eyebrows jumped as she sank down and buried herself in Xue Yuan's arms.
The steaming hot air came from Xue Yuan's chest, and Gu Yuanbai thought to himself, "What did this person grow up eating? Why is he as hot as a furnace?
"How is it outside?" Gu Yuanbai's voice was dull and muffled, "Who was it that was so reckless?"
Xue Yuan pressed his brows together and pressed the little emperor tightly, "Don't speak."
The veins on top of Gu Yuanbai's head were taut, and Xue Yuan, as if he knew he was angry, lifted his eyes to look around, and after looking into one of the bushes, he hugged Gu Yuanbai and rolled on the ground, dodging the wasps from that gap.
When Gu Yuanbai came back to his senses, there were no more sounds of hornets around him.
He got up to take a look, the grass beyond the area has been everywhere is stung by hornets running around. Ancient hornets were much wilder than today's, stinging desperately when touched, stinging when they saw people, and were also very toxic, so it might just be that which palace attendant accidentally bumped into the honeycomb, causing this situation today.
Xue Yuan stood beside the young emperor and casually asked, "Your Holiness, what kind of incense did you use, how come even the strands of your hair smell so good?"
Gu Yuanbai was so focused on the situation not far away that he was so absorbed that he didn't hear, "Hm?"
Xue Yuan didn't reiterate, his afterglow caught a glimpse of a wasp resting on a blade of grass to the side, he abruptly wrapped his arm around the waist of the little emperor and brought his entire body into his arms, then his feet quickly retreated a few steps back.
Gu Yuanbai was dizzy for a moment and had just slowed down when Xue Yuan was already talking nonsense behind him.
"Your Holiness, the last time you scolded me for being wanton, I felt that it wasn't called wanton, and that there was some aggravation," Xue Yuan's hand didn't move at all, and was still resting on the little emperor's waist, and he slowly went on to say, "Your Holiness, it's only now that it's called wanton."
Got it?
If any man dares to do that to you in the future, it's all a put-down.
--such as that Chu Wei, can be dragged out and beheaded.
But being touched by him is a different story.
It wasn't like Xue Yuan liked men, so such an action was nothing if he did it.
