Gu Yuanbai looked at the blood stains, and after a while, he got out of bed and walked to the window, the sunlight poured in, shaking his eyes so much that even the scenery outside was unclear.
It was just the right weather for setting off in the glorious sunshine.
Gu Yuanbai suddenly raised his hand to cover his eyes, blocking the blinding hot sun, and stifled a few laughs.
Good tactics, Xue Jiuyao.
The man beside him was careful, "Your Holiness?"
Gu Yuanbai laughed for a moment before he turned around, "Someone come."
*
Xue Yuan came like a gust of wind and left like a gust of wind.
After the night passed, no one knew that another Xue Jiuyao had come yesterday. Gu Yuanbai was still thinking about what other skills he had when he warmed his tea with someone in the pavilion, and heard a bystander call out several times before he returned to his senses and raised his eyes.
Kong Yilin smiled, "Your Holiness soaked in the spring yesterday, did you feel warmer?"
"Indeed," Gu Yuanbai, "it was a wild bird that ran in midway and dropped a few feathers in my pool."
Kong Yilin exclaimed, "Nowadays, in this season, I didn't expect to see birds and birds here in the Prince of Harmony."
All the young talents accompanied by the side, all want to show some performance in front of the emperor, sitting in the boring, and asked for permission to do this as a small literary meeting. The temporary flower branch as the mediator, point to who, who will do a poem.
This is a common appetizer for the Wen Hui, Chang Yuyan smiled slightly, hands behind his back, very confident. Gu Yuanbai intends to give Chang Yuyan momentum to raise his name, his reputation is incomparable, among these people, many people regard him as a formidable enemy.
Tang Mian is young and has not yet established a crown, he took the initiative to run out of the pavilion to fold a budding hibiscus flower, and was full of smiles when he wanted to run back, he turned around, but met the face of the Prince of Harmony.
Tang Mian's face was suddenly turned white with fear, and he spoke shivering, "Wang, the king ......"
The Prince of Harmony glanced at him coldly, implying a warning, "How dare you still appear in front of His Majesty."
Tang Mian was flustered, Li Yan, the accomplice with whom he had hidden the paintings of the Holy Spirit, was now absent, and he was the only one to face the Prince of Harmony, momentarily at a loss for words, "Your Highness, please listen to my humble servant's explanation!"
The Prince of Harmony, however, turned directly around and walked quickly towards the pavilion.
His robes flew and rolled, but Tang Mian was scared out of his wits and followed in haste, fearing that the Prince of Harmony would tell His Majesty what he had done.
And in the pavilion, a long time to wait for Tang Mian's crowd is laughing and talking. The saint was surrounded by the crowd in the middle, the talented young officials on both sides of him, these officials are the pride of the sky, young will be on the examination of the scholar into the Hanlin Academy, Kong Yilin can make friends with these people, just shows that these people are not pedantic and old-fashioned generation.
With so many handsome talents here, the Prince of He's first glance over is still Gu Yuanbai.
His breath settled down and he cleanly stepped forward to salute, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Prince He is here," Gu Yuanbai patted his side with a smile, "Sit."
The officials saluted towards Prince He and backed away from their positions. Prince He walked up and sat down, Gu Yuanbai looked at him sideways, "Yesterday I was a bit tired and slept a bit early. This morning, I heard Tian Fusheng say that Prince He specifically came over to find me last night, and it seems that there are some things he wants to say to me?"
Tang Mian followed closely behind and only felt his eyes bleed and his head spin when he heard these words.
The Prince of Harmony, however, did not speak of him, but looked down at the python pattern on his clothes, as calm as a dead pool, "Your Holiness, I just want to talk to you about a happy event. The other day the doctor came to the door to diagnose and treat, the crown princess is pregnant."
Gu Yuanbai looked at him fiercely.
The Prince of Harmony is still looking at the hand on his knee, his side face is cold, his fingers are unnaturally spasmodic, looking not like a husband who learns that his wife has a child, but like an icy executioner, "Mrs. is not suitable to face the Holy Spirit right now, she suffered some shock some days ago, and the doctor said that it is good to have a good restful pregnancy in the mansion at all times."
The bloodline of these two late emperors will finally have a next generation.
Tian Fusheng murmured, "It's a great joy, a heavenly joy."
When the late emperor was around, the Prince of Hutchinson had been fighting in the army, not returning to his house all year round, and the Prince of Hutchinson's house was going to fall to dust. After coming back to the capital, so long time also did not hear the news of the heir, coupled with the late emperor is also a single heir, a lot of people are guessing that the royal bloodline is not just so difficult to extend.
The crowd arched their hands in congratulations, their faces all wearing smiles, and for a moment, they only felt joyful. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Prince, Gu Yuanbai asked, "How many months old is the fetus?"
"Almost two months," the Prince of Harmony tugged at his lips, "Moyo had it after the Saint's All Souls' Day, so it's really a blessing."
Gu Yuanbai smiled and said aloud, "Tian Fusheng, reward!"
Tian Fusheng responded in an equally loud voice, "Yes!"
Prince Harmony said, "I thanked His Majesty on behalf of the Princess."
Gu Yuanbai laughed and shook his head, pulling Prince He's arm to stand up and walking slowly down the pavilion with him, intending to say some private words between brothers.
The Prince of Harmony who fell behind him looked down at his hand, only to feel how this hand was so slender and thin, so white as if transparent on his dark colored regular clothes.
Wangfei's hands are also white, but there is no man's meridians and sinews, this hand, even if it is pampered, is a pair of man's hands, the only pair of hands in the world.
During those hours in the dead of night, the Prince of Harmony crouched over the Princess, grasping her arms and clasping them above her head, sometimes sweating profusely, and in the midst of his disorientation, he would clasp the Princess's chin and cry out, "Gu Convergence."
The Princess knew what was in his mind.
But the Prince of Harmony was very relaxed, as if he could finally find a person who could listen to him to say these secrets in general, the heart of these words enough to be angry with the ancestors, enough to suffer the wrath of God are reckless to tell the princess.
The princess was trembling with fear, but there was no need to be afraid, the Prince of Harmony wouldn't do anything to her, quite the opposite, the Prince of Harmony would give her a child, a child that could bear her future wealth and honor.
The saint with the Prince of peace and slowly walk away, two people are tall and slender, the crowd in the pavilion watched them go farther and farther away, face more or less showed a few points of disappointment.
Kong Yilin took the initiative to speak, "Gentlemen, shall we continue?"
Chu Wei retracted his sight, lowered his eyes and faintly said, "It's all been said and done, so let's continue."
Tang Mian presented the hibiscus flowers, and Kong Yilin looked at his face with a twinkle in his eyes, "Lord Tang, why does your face look so bad?"
Tang barely held on to nothing, "It should be a bit chilled."

Between the green leaves and red flowers, on top of the gravel path.
His Holiness walked slowly, his footsteps low, matching the sound of gurgling water. Gu Yuanbai tucked his hands in his sleeves, his sleeve robes hanging down, and said in a serious tone: ''Elder brother, the Prince Consort of Harmony is working hard, you have to take care of her more. This manor I think is good, in weekdays when there is nothing to do, you can also bring the royal consort out for a walk, never stay in the mansion without moving."
"Your Holiness also likes this manor?" The Prince of Harmony seemed to nod his head, "I will naturally take good care of the Princess, Your Majesty need not worry. Then again, this manor has no name until today. Prince Heping's residence is inscribed by His Holiness, if His Holiness doesn't give a name to this manor?"
Gu Yuanbai knew his own naming ability well, "No. If you want my inscription, just tell me. If you want my inscription, tell me after naming it, I'll write it and have it sent to your residence."
The Prince of Harmony's expression eased, "Good."
The saint sighed, "The two of us brothers don't have a progeny even now, which is very disturbing to say the least. I am not in good health, often worried about this, now hear this news, finally feel as if the clouds open to see the moon."
The two wolves' fierce glowing beast eyes stared tightly at the Prince of Harmony, a horrible whimpering sound emanating from between their throats, each requiring two or three guards to painstakingly tug at them at the same time to prevent them from charging up and biting the king.
The Prince of Harmony glanced at the two wolves, displeasure crossing his mind, "So did I."
The two people chatted for a few sentences, seeing that they were about to walk to the end of the road, the Prince of Harmony suddenly stopped his feet, frowned and said: ''Your Holiness, I came to find you last night not only to report that the Princess of Wales had a happy matter. A month ago, the Western Xia emissaries had condemned people to send gifts to my residence, saying that they were compensating for the gifts, however, they couldn't say what kind of gifts they were compensating for, so I didn't accept them. These days they sent me another gift, and the gift they sent was not thin, and it seems that there is something to ask for."
Gu Yuanbai didn't hold back a laugh, "You took it?"
Prince He sneered, "A small Western Xia, bribery can be in front of me, really bold, how will I accept."
Gu Yuanbai doubly felt pity, just wanted to show regret, but a look at the Prince of Peace's rightfully hidden disdainful face, and then instantly to the Prince of Peace this kind of not captured by the money of the righteousness of the rise of admiration.
Worthy of being the Prince of Harmony, different from Gu Yuanbai, a layman who is always watching and thinking about how to trick the Western Xia emissaries some more.
After Gu Yuanbai finished his admiration, he was curious again, "What kind of gift did they send you?"
The Prince of Harmony picked a few of them that he could still remember and said, Gu Yuanbai's eyes narrowed slightly, and in the middle of the day, he smiled, the light of desire flashing in his eyes, "Coincidentally, how are these things so pleasing to me."
It's time for him to talk to Xixia about the debatables.

Xue Yuan ran out of the capital city when the sky was dazed, and when he passed the first stagecoach station on his way, he was stopped by the people who greeted him at the gate of the stagecoach station.
These people took his horses and prepared hot water and hot dishes. A fine room, a soft bed, excellent medicinal herbs, and a respectful doctor and attentive servants waiting to heal Xue Yuan's wounds.
After Xue Yuan had a good night's rest, his horse was brought out early the next morning, with smooth fur, wearing a beautiful and delicate harness, with a loud snort, and with a sufficient amount of fresh water and dried meat already prepared on its back, and in the same general spirit as its owner.
Xue Yuan mounted his horse in wonder, and again galloped toward the northern frontier. But he was treated so generally and properly at every post he passed, and sometimes when he did not make it to the post, the people in the post would even take stoves and seasonings with them and travel to him in the wild mountains to make him a fragrant meal in the wilderness.
After three times, Xue Yuan understood that this was the emperor's reward.
Xue Yuan kindly laughed, his chest trembling low.
This was his Imperial Majesty telling him that even though Gu Yuanbai's body was weak, his hands and feet were cold, and he was a master who would fall ill at the slightest moment of inattention, His Imperial Majesty was still firmly in the position of the superior, and he could use his monstrous power to grant Xue Yuan comfort along the way.
Such a reward hardened Xue Yuan as if he were a consort in the Emperor's harem, needing to be pampered and receiving strong favor from His Holiness.
It is true that it is the minister who enters the arms of the Son of Heaven, not the Son of Heaven who enters the arms of the minister.
Xue Yuan accepted it with open arms.
The emperor's favor really falls when, that kind of treatment is unusual people can not imagine to get, horses daily change, rations than in the capital not lose, fresh fruit through the aroma, daily clothes are smoked full of long incense.
If Xue Yuan had not been pressed for time, he would have even believed that these people would have carried him to the Northern Border just as they carried the statue of honor.
Such behavior would undoubtedly prolong Xue Yuan's time to catch up, but Xue Yuan still took the emperor's arrangements one by one.
The most weary heart was melted into water.
These things that took a lot of thought, Xue Yuan was not willing to refuse.
