Chapter 48
Long Si subconsciously stood up and wanted to chase, "Uncle Emperor, what's wrong?" Long Yuan asked looking at Long Si's inexplicable movements.
"It's okay." Long Si sat back and continued to listen to Long Yuan talking about the recent events in the hall.
"Uncle, Zhou Ji, the commander of the imperial army, handed in his resignation letter and said that he will go back to retire. What do you think?"
Long Si responded indifferently, Zhou Ji, the commander of the Imperial Army who "makes the decisions of the country", has just reached his forties, and his strength is not the age for old age. This move is nothing more than reducing his military power.
Long Yuan said again: "But Zhou Ji is the old department of the emperor's uncle. I have lived and died with the emperor's uncle for many years. I want to hear what the emperor's uncle means."
"Your Majesty, the subjects of Daliang are just the Emperor's subjects"
Long Yuan knew that Long Si was feeling uncomfortable, so he didn't mention Zhou Ji's concern about personal affairs and disturbing the internal order of the imperial army, and changed the subject, "Today is a day for family reunion, so I won't talk about the court affairs, remember the past In the mid-autumn festival, the emperor's uncle will go to the palace to accompany Yuan'er, and Yuan'er will come to the palace to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the future, okay?"
"emperor.."
Long Yuan knew that Long Si was going to refuse, so he rushed to speak in front of Long Si, "Isn't the emperor not treating Yuan'er as a family member?"
Long Si looked at Long Yuan who was only 13 years old in front of him, he was still a child after all, "Of course it's a family"
Hearing the words, the loneliness on Long Yuan's face dissipated, and he smiled instantly, "Then I will come to the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival from now on." After speaking, he opened the food box he brought, and brought out a plate of moon cakes and handed it to Long Si, "Uncle, try it "
Long Si glanced at Long Yuan who was full of hope, took a piece and tasted it, it was delicious but a bit sweet.
"How is it?" Long Yuan stared at Long Si without blinking.
Long Si nodded, "Not bad."
Long Yuan smiled so that his eyes narrowed into a line, "I think it's good too, Uncle Huang, do you remember the Mid-Autumn Festival when I was five years old, we came out of the palace and met a dim sum shop that sold moon cakes?"
"Remember"
Long Yuan said: "Uncle Huang likes the moon cakes there very much, every Mid-Autumn Festival he would bring some to the palace for me, but when I went to buy them this year, it was closed." Long Yuan said that he was a little disappointed here, but then he jumped up again, "But I found a mooncake maker, and he taught me the skills. From now on, if the emperor wants to eat mooncakes, he will only come to me."
Long Si paused when he heard this, and ate the mooncakes he wanted to put down, "That minister is lucky that there is only one Mid-Autumn Festival a year."
Long Yuan felt aggrieved, "Does the emperor think that Yuan'er's cooking is unpalatable?"
Looking at Long Yuan's habitual expression, Long Si felt relieved when he remembered Long Yuan's childhood, and said with a rare smile, "Too many times, I am worried that the emperor will not have time to do it."
Listening to Long Si's laughter, Long Yuan couldn't help but feel aggrieved. Since he was ten years old, Long Si seldom smiled at him, and after he was 12 years old, it was even rarer. When they met, they were either silent or rigidly courteous.
Seeing that Long Yuan's expression was wrong, Long Si suppressed his smile, got up and cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry."
As soon as these words came out, Long Yuan felt even more wronged, and he stood up and looked at Long Si, the mask covered everything, Long Yuan walked up to Long Si, raised his hand and took off Long Si's mask, it was still the same as in memory , but there was no familiar warmth on his face, only rigid seriousness remained.
"Emperor" Long Si frowned.
Long Yuan stared at Long Si for a while, then suddenly stretched out his arms to hug him, and called out in a strong nasal voice, "Uncle Emperor"
Long Si sighed in his heart, and patted Long Yuan's back, "It's okay, Uncle Huang is here"
Unknowingly, the little doll has reached his chest now, Long Si felt the hands on his waist tightened, so he stretched out his hands to hug the trembling boy in his arms.
After a while, Long Si felt that the person in his arms was still, so he gently pushed Long Yuan, but he heard steady and long breathing, and fell asleep.
It was already midnight at this time, and it was not appropriate to send Long Yuan back to the palace, so Long Si carried Long Yuan to Danqing Yuan and went to Qingya Yuan by himself.
That night, Long Yuan dreamed that Long Si sat on the throne, majestic and domineering, and he sat beside him to accept Wan Qing's worship, and this incident made him laugh out loud in his dream.
When Long Si went to Qingya Courtyard, Xuan Yunqi was enjoying the shade in the courtyard, but he sneezed the moment Long Si walked in.
"What are you doing sitting in the courtyard?" Long Si approached, pulled Xuan Yunqi into the room, looked at him, and asked, "You didn't get hurt today, did you?"
Xuan Yunqi gestured, "I was taught by General Long himself, and it is more than enough to fight three."
While taking off his outer robe, Long Si joked with Xuan Yunqi, "I haven't agreed to accept apprentices yet."
"What are you doing undressing?"
Long Si turned his head and explained seriously to Xuan Yunqi, "The emperor lives in the Danqing Courtyard, I have nowhere to go"
Danqing Court at least said that there were ten guest rooms, but today Xuan Yunqi didn't expose it, he just said, "Okay then."
Long Si heard this and dragged Xuan Yunqi to lie on the bed, "Are you sleepy?"
Xuan Yunqi fought on the roof for a while, he was really tired, he yawned, "I'm sleepy, it's getting late, go to bed earlier"
"Sleep," said a palm wind, and the candles in the room were extinguished.
The moonlight is silent, and it is also a good night's sleep.
When Xuan Yunqi woke up the next day, Long Si was no longer there, so Xuan Yunqi got up and asked, "Where is the prince?"
Lu Ming said: "Go back to your son, the prince sent Sheng Jia off."
Then why didn't you call him?As a courtier, instead of sending the emperor to sleep in the house, this is too crazy, so I hurriedly cleaned up and rushed over, walked to the front garden, and met Long Si who came back, "The emperor is gone? "
Long Si nodded, took off the mask on his face, and went back to Qingyayuan for breakfast together.
Xuanyun Qiwang looked at Longsi's face thoughtfully, why does it seem that every time Longsi sees Longyuan, he has to put on a mask?
Seeing Xuan Yunqi in a daze, Long Si asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Xuan Yunqi moved his head forward, "Why don't you take off your mask when you see the emperor?" It's disrespectful to see the emperor wearing a mask.
Seeing Xuan Yunqi's curious and contemplative expression, Long Si smiled, not sure if it was because he was in a good mood, but he really said, "Because the emperor always thinks that I look very similar to my elder brother"
"So that's how it is." Xuan Yunqi understood that Long Li was buried when Long Yuan was two years old, that means Long Yuan would feel sad when he saw Long Si's face.
At this time, Lu Ming placed a plate of moon cakes on the table, but the presentation was a little off.
Long Si gave Xuan Yunqi a mooncake, "Taste it"
Xuan Yunqi took it and took a sip before putting it down, and said disapprovingly: "It's too sweet."
So after a meal, there was only one bite missing from the plate of mooncakes.
After the meal, Lu Ming cleared the table and saw that the plate of mooncakes was in trouble. This is the mooncake that Long Live personally rewarded, but seeing that neither of the two masters liked to eat it, and they didn't dare to make decisions, they could only ask: "My lord, What should I do with this mooncake?"
Long Si said: "Take it as a reward."
"Yes"
Long Si looked at the moon cake in Lu Ming's hand, and recalled that year Long Yuan, who was not as tall as his waist, stood on the brightly lit street, holding the moon cake and smiling contentedly, raised his hand and handed it to Long Si, "Uncle Huang "
He bent down and asked him, "Yuan'er likes it?"
Long Yuan blinked, then nodded fiercely, "I like it very much, there is no one I like more than this."
After eating, Xuan Yunqi took his sword and walked to the courtyard, "What are you practicing today?"
Long Sidao: "Zamabu" finished speaking and sat on the stone table in the courtyard, making tea leisurely,
"Zama step? Don't you teach swordsmanship first?"
Long Sidao: "Those few days were for dealing with others. If you really want to practice swordsmanship well, you must lay a good foundation."
It's too tempting to practice two words well. Xuan Yunqi struggled for a while, and then he strode seriously, but every time he couldn't hold on for long, his legs softened and he sat on the ground. Long Si wanted to go and pull him, Xuan Yun Qi made a vertical push towards him, "No need, I will do it myself"
Long Si sat back on the stool and made tea. After half an hour, Long Si brought a cup of tea and walked up to Xuan Yunqi, "Drink some tea"
Xuan Yunqi's legs were already stiff, "Give me a hand"
Long Si stretched out his hand and pulled Xuan Yunqi up, Xuan Yunqi shook his leg, "Did you also work so hard when you were young?"
Long Sidao: "It's okay."
Talking about this to a martial arts prodigy is simply asking for trouble, Xuan Yunqi took the tea in Long Si's hand and drank it, "Why is it so weak?"
Long Si said: "If you are sweating, you should drink light tea and go rest for a while."
After fighting against a master, Xuan Yunqi's dream of being a master revived again, "no need" and started the cycle of squatting and sitting again.
Long Si stood aside and looked at Xuan Yunqi, who gritted his teeth and endured it. In the early days of martial arts, it was very painful to straddle the horse. At that time, he also squatted like this for a long time before falling. When he finished squatting, he tapped his Ding acupoint, so that even if his legs hurt so much that he couldn't feel it, he wouldn't fall again. He squatted day and night for two months, and he laid the foundation of others for a year.
The Qingyayuan is working hard on the basic skills, and the Linzhaoyuan is not idle. Xuan Hui is dragged to the kitchen by Li Qing, "Do you really want to sweep?"
Li Qing said: "Yesterday you scared away all the servants in the courtyard."
Xuan Hui was deeply baffled, "I didn't do anything, why do you say I scared you away?"
Li Qing patiently helped Xuan Hui recall what happened yesterday, "How many times did your pot blow up yesterday?"
Xuan Hui recalled it carefully, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..." Finally he gave up, "I can't remember clearly."
The more Li Qing listened, the darker his face became. Yesterday, the money for the pot alone was enough to pay a servant in the mansion for a month.
"It's just a frying pan, how can you scare away?"
Li Qing smiled and said, "Do you think the kitchen is particularly bright today?"
Hearing what Li Qing said, Xuan Hui finally realized, "It's true."
Li Qing smiled gently, "Look up"
"Wow..." Xuan Hui looked up and exclaimed, "What's going on, why is there such a big hole?"
Li Qing said: "What do you say?"
Seeing that Li Qing's smile became more and more gentle, Xuan Hui shook his shoulders in fright, and then took the broom very practically, "Everything Ah Qing says is right, I'll sweep it now"
Xuan Hui, who was so relieved, didn't know that Yun Xun and Chi Cheng were studying the sword skills that defeated him in the Blizzard Academy.
"This time we must be ashamed"
However, as Li Qing protected Xuan Hui more and more, after researching this sword technique, he only tried it a few times on a few groups of thieves who broke into the palace at night, but it was quite powerful.
Under Xuan Yunqi's call, other people in the mansion also joined in worrying about Feng Yu's and Shu Ning's marriage. After all, this is the first time that the manor has held such a happy-hearted and blessed wedding.
So amidst the busyness of everyone, three months passed in a flash, and before they knew it, autumn had passed, and it was already the winter solstice, and after the winter solstice, it would be the day when Feng Yu and Shu Ning got married.
