Regent sucks cats daily

Chapter 55

Jingquan Palace.

A faint fragrance was burning in the gold-plated incense burner, Xiao Jumao suddenly woke up from the dream, only feeling that his body was extremely sticky, and his lower part seemed to be a little wet.

He suddenly covered his face with the gold-edged dragon-pattern soft quilt, secretly annoyed for a while, thinking that tomorrow is his birthday, why hasn't Tan Shiguan returned to Beijing yet?Does he still want to be Duke Ding?

Quickly lifted the quilt, and shouted out of the hall, Zhao Quan immediately bowed in, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"I want to take a bath!"

Zhao Quan: "Your maidservant, go prepare water now."

Why do you suddenly have to take a shower in the middle of the night?In the past few days, he has been unable to figure out what the emperor is thinking. Sometimes he loses his temper without knowing it. Although it is not obvious, he can see that his majesty is on fire in his heart. It's not to my liking, and some ministers in the court said stupid things and were taught by His Majesty.

Zhao Quan waited outside the palace, his eyes watching his nose, his nose and his heart. He looked solemn and solemn on the surface, but he was thinking too much. At this time, a young eunuch suddenly came and said that Duke Ding was asking to see him outside the palace.

Zhao Quan was taken aback, it was so late, what was Ding Guogong doing in the palace?Wait, when did Duke Ding come back?

"Did you say what's the matter?" He lifted the whisk and looked at him squintingly.

"It is said that there is a military matter, and I need to discuss it with His Majesty."

Zhao Quan closed his eyes and thought about it. His Majesty favors Duke Ding. If Duke Ding comes, it should make His Majesty happier, right?

"Let's go ask."

Xiao Jumao had just finished taking a bath, he was wearing a middle coat, his wet hair was scattered behind his head, his cheeks that had been soaked in hot water were rosy, his long curled eyelashes were stained with mist, trembling slightly, as if he was soaked in water butterfly wings.

"Your Majesty, Duke Ding is seeking an audience outside the palace."

Hearing this, Xiao Jumao tightly clenched the soft towel in his hand, took a deep breath and said, "Let me just say that I have rested."

"Yes."

"and many more."

Zhao Quan lowered his eyes and waited.

"Since we have already arrived in the palace, let Ding Guogong live in Wende Hall, so as to save you from running around."

"Yes."

After Zhao Quan responded, he still waited for a few breaths, and seeing that there was no sound coming from the hall, he ordered someone to send a message.

Sitting on the bed, Xiao Jumao wiped his wet hair vigorously with a soft towel, why couldn't he dry it all the time?He threw the soft towel on the bed, feeling sulking for some reason.

After a while, he called out of the hall again: "Zhao Quan."

"What orders does Your Majesty have?" Zhao Quan was on call.

There was a moment of silence in the hall before a voice came: "Go to Wende Hall and summon Duke Ding."

Zhao Quan ordered someone to pass on the message again.

Xiao Jumao sat on the bed, didn't tidy up his appearance, just sat on the quilt with his long wet hair loose, clutching a soft towel in his hand, listening intently to the movement outside the hall.

After a while, there were footsteps outside the hall, and he couldn't help sitting up straight, flipping through the memorial that he had prepared earlier, his eyes fixed on the memorial, but his ears were facing the hall door.

"Your Majesty, Duke Ding has arrived."

Xiao Jumao secretly cleared his throat and said, "Let him in."

Steady footsteps slowly entered the hall, the door was closed by Zhao Quan, Xiao Jumao still pretended to read the memorial, as if he didn't care that anyone entered the hall at all.

"My minister bows to His Majesty." Tan Shiguan knelt on one knee and saluted.

Xiao Jumao didn't say anything, didn't look at him, didn't let him get up, Tan Shiguan just kept kneeling on the ground.

Only the crackling of candles can be heard in the hall.

Xiao Jumao suddenly turned his head and threw the memorial to him hard, the memorial hit him once and fell to the ground again.

"Get it back for me." The hoarse voice trembled a little, as if she was aggrieved.

Tan Shiguan reached out to pick it up, stood up and walked slowly to the dragon bed, and placed the memorial on the quilt.

Xiao Jumao's eyes fell on the quilt, and he threw the soft cloth in his hand on him, "Wipe my hair for me."

He sat on the dragon bed without turning around. From the point of view of time, if he wanted to reach out to wipe his hair, he had to lower his waist very low and stretch his arms to wipe it. The man didn't say a word and worked hard. He rubbed it carefully and meticulously.

Xiao Jumao's anger subsided a bit, "Why did you enter the palace so late?"

"I just want to tell Your Majesty that Yuan Bao is safe and sound, and has awakened." The man's deep and mellow voice fell in his ears, and the slightly hot breath made him itchy.

He was absent-minded for a moment, then suddenly realized, did he wake up?That is to say, Yuanbao is back?His calamity is over?

That's right, what the concubine mother said was that he would encounter disaster, and by tomorrow, he would be nineteen.

This good news made Xiao Jumao happy, his eyes were bright, and he turned to look at Tan Shiguan, "Why are you—hiss!"

He forgot that Tan Shiguan was rubbing his hair with his hands, but when he turned his head suddenly, his scalp was pulled, causing the slightest pain.

Tan Shiguan quickly put down his hair, only to see a few strands of hair fell on the soft cloth, he showed pity, and quietly hid the hair in his sleeve.

"Your Majesty forgive me."

Xiao Jumao didn't care about this trivial matter at all, he continued to ask: "Why did you stay in Jiangnan for so long?"

Tan Shiguan continued to carefully wipe his hair, "Zhou Shuo said, Yuan Bao is seriously injured, it is not appropriate to leave immediately, and needs to be recuperated for a few days."

Xiao Jumao said "Yes", "It should be so."

The two of them seemed to have nothing to say, and they seemed to have a lot to say but couldn't say it. The hall returned to silence. Tan Shiguan finally dried all his hair, then left the dragon bed, and put the soft towel on the side table superior.

"Your Majesty, I brought you something from Jiangnan."

Xiao Jumao's eyes brightened slightly, a gift?He looked expectantly at Tan Shiguan.

Tan Shiguan returned to the bedside, took out a smooth and round object from his bosom, put it in his palm, and presented it to Xiao Jumao.

Xiao Jumao opened his eyes slightly, the surface of the stone in front of him was smooth and tidy, with clear lines, although it was interesting to look at, it was nothing special.

"Hold it in your hand and try it." Tan Shiguan said and poured the stone into Xiao Jumao's palm.

As soon as the stone entered his palm, Xiao Jumao suddenly felt a burst of coolness go straight to his heart, and the dark fire and restlessness disappeared in an instant, and the whole person was quite peaceful.

This is good stuff.

"What's it called?" He looked up into the man's deep eyes.

Tan Shiguan's eyes were gentle, and he said, "It's called Anshen Stone."

Xiao Jumao thought to himself: The name is quite appropriate.

"Where did you get it?"

"It was a gift from someone else." He said it easily, but in fact, the reason why he came back late was because of this tranquilizing stone.

This Anshen Stone is not easy to obtain, it was born in a cold pool, which is located on a mountain outside Jiangling City, the temperature of the cold pool is extremely low, even people with deep internal energy cannot stay in it for too long.Moreover, the Anshen Stone is not a common thing, and you need to dive into the cold pool to find it, usually it takes a long time to find it.

Xiao Jumao didn't know about this, but this Anshen Stone is indeed a strange thing, he likes this gift very much.

"I like it very much." Xiao Jumao lowered his eyebrows and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

"As long as your majesty likes it," Tan Shiguan paused, and then said, "It's already late at night, and your majesty will go to court tomorrow, so rest early."

"Wait!" Xiao Jumao grabbed his sleeve with one hand, lowered his head and pursed his lips, and then said slowly, "I...can't sleep."

Tan Shiguan's eyes fell on the emperor's black hair spread out on the quilt, he wanted to say that the soothing stone can also help sleep, but he couldn't say it, he could feel his majesty was disturbed.

The wide and slender hands slowly stretched out to Xiao Jumao's temples, brushed the drooping hair behind his ears for him, then touched his pale pink cheeks, and raised them slightly.

Xiao Jumao's eyelashes trembled violently, even the Anshen Stone in his palm could not save him.

Tan Shiguan bent down, his eyes fell on Xiao Jumao's misty eyes, the pupils became darker, "Your Majesty, forgive me for being rude."

He lowered his head and touched those soft, waxy and moist lips. At this moment, his heart was unbelievably peaceful, as if a long-traveled traveler had finally found a harbor, but the next second, he became turbulent and restless again.

Xiao Jumao closed his eyes abruptly, put one hand on the man's broad shoulders, moved his lips, a little helpless, but also a little expectant, this feeling was like in a dream.

Tan Shiguan's other hand suddenly pressed on the back of Xiao Jumao's head, gradually deepening the kiss.The two pairs of lips seem to have found the most suitable counterpart, they are unbelievably lingering, and also unbelievably sweet.

Xiao Jumao was immersed in this kiss, occasionally humming from his nose, his hands had unconsciously climbed onto the man's neck, and pressed him down.

Tan Shiguan hugged him tightly, and took advantage of the situation to press on Xiao Jumao's body, with a layer of quilt in between.The sweetness is accompanied by the heat, the two bite each other desperately, the moment their tongues touch, the whole mind is like a hurricane, a tsunami, lightning and thunder.

Xiao Jumao felt the passion brought by the man's fierce kiss, he enjoyed and indulged in it, he liked this feeling.The tip of the man's tongue twitched in his mouth, as if he was absorbing the sweetest dew, Xiao Jumao gradually couldn't bear this kind of enthusiasm, he couldn't help humming a few times from his throat, his eyes were full of water, his eyes The tail has already been dyed red, such amorous feelings can directly hook people's souls away.

Xiao Jumao felt that the man's hand had penetrated into the quilt and touched his waist, seeing that he did not stop, he poked in from below, his palm pressed against the smooth skin.

"Your Majesty..." The man moved away from his red lips, his hot breath fell on his face, his already red eyes were fixed on him, waiting for his answer.

Xiao Jumao had a tendency to raise his head, naturally he didn't want to let go of this opportunity, so he planted a kiss on the man's lips.

Tan Shiguan grabbed the quilt suddenly and was about to lift it, when Zhao Quan's sharp voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, it's almost time."

All the heat was suddenly extinguished by a basin of cold water, Xiao Jumao paused, and said in a bad mood: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Quan wiped his sweat. He was not worried about His Majesty's health. His Majesty was about to go to court, and His Majesty needed to rest earlier.

"I know." Xiao Jumao said weakly on the bed.

Tan Shiguan's eyes gradually cleared up, looking at Xiao Jumao's face close at hand, his heart seemed to be filled, he put his face on Xiao Jumao's neck, closed his eyes and sighed: "Your Majesty, I am content gone."

Ever since Xiao Jumao blocked an arrow for him without hesitation, he felt that he had no regrets in this life.

Xiao Jumao stretched out his hand to caress his back, and said slowly: "But, I am not satisfied yet."

Tan Shi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he realized that he giggled. His Majesty is really straightforward and cute, but the timing is not right now.

He got up and placed a few light kisses on Xiao Jumao's lips, his eyes were full of tenderness, "Your Majesty, you should rest earlier, and I will return to Wende Hall first."

Xiao Jumao stared wide-eyed, "Just sleep here."

Tan Shiguan turned on his side, hugged him in his arms with his quilt, and said with a smile, "I obey the order."

Xiao Jumao in the bed twisted his body, his forehead was close to the man's chin, and he said in a muffled voice: "After my birthday is over, bring Yuanbao into the palace and live in Wende Palace from now on."

"it is good."

Xiao Jumao looked at the moving Adam's apple in front of him, couldn't help pulling his hand out from the tightly wrapped quilt, stretched it out to touch it, and then heard the man's muffled groan, he quickly withdrew his hand back.

"I will find a way to deal with that Zi Ningzhi matter."

Tan Shi watched silently, held Xiao Jumao's with a wide and slender hand, put it on his lips and kissed, "Then have you ever thought about the heir to the throne?"

Xiao Jumao looked up at him, "What do you think of Xiao Fan?"

Tan Shi looked back, "The current him is too far behind."

Xiao Jumao smiled, lifted the quilt and covered Tan Shiguan's whole body, then got into his arms, hugged his waist, sniffed the subtle fragrance, said: "Ten years ago, I It's not even close."

Looking at his cat-like movements for a while, my heart was so soft that I hugged him tighter, stretched out my hand to run along his silky black hair, over and over again.

"You are better than him." Much better.

The corners of Xiao Jumao's lips raised slightly, his heart was filled with sweetness just because of this compliment, he picked up a strand of the man's hair, put it in his hands and twisted it around, his brows and eyes were full of amorous feelings.

"Let me tell you, that day Xing Kai went to the palace to see me, and I asked him why Duke Ding didn't come back so long, guess how he answered?"

"How did you answer?"

Xiao Jumao laughed "puchipuchi" when he thought of it, his eyes were bent into crescent moons, very beautiful.

"He said that Duke Ding was probably trapped in the bandits in southern Yunnan and was busy suppressing bandits. He will come back when the bandits are cleared."

Tan Shiguan couldn't help laughing either.

"If you asked him to keep it a secret, he really kept it a secret. He didn't even tell me. It's clear that I sent you to Jiangnan."

If the two were just in a normal relationship between monarch and minister, the emperor would have expressed suspicion when he said such a thing, but now that the two are in such a posture, Xiao Jumao just thought it was funny when he said this, and thought it was funny for Xing Kai to lie in a serious manner.

But he was still a little bit disappointed after all, it was a kind of disappointment to himself.

"He was worried about being known by others and assassinating me on my way back to Beijing." Tan Shiguan held his face, "I will never lie to you."

"really?"

"It's true."

"Okay then," Xiao Jumao suddenly turned over, resting his elbows on the mattress, his hands on his chin, looking down at Tan Shiguan's handsome face, "I ask you, why haven't you returned to Beijing?"

He didn't believe it was just because Yuanbao couldn't be moved too early.

The clear and clear eyes just looked at him quietly like this, and the heat in Tan Shiguan's heart rose suddenly, and he said: "For the soothing stone."

"How to say?"

"The Anshen Stone is only found on the mountain outside Jiangling City. I went to the mountain to look for it, so I was delayed for a few days." This is not a lie.

Xiao Jumao wrote the letter now, and wanted to say something, but was pulled down by the man, hitting his head against his solid chest, "It's time to go to court, let's sleep for a while."

Xiao Jumao had no choice but to smile and hug him to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, not only Xiao Jumao, but even all the officials were a little distracted. They all thought about the congratulatory gifts they had prepared these days, and whether the emperor would not like it during the noon banquet.

"If there is something to play, then retreat to the court if there is nothing to do." Xiao Jumao tried his best to open his eyes wide to make himself look more energetic. He slept too late last night, and he still wanted to go back to the court and have a good sleep.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." An old man stood up.

Xiao Jumao was too sleepy, "Speak."

"Your Majesty, I think that the affairs of the country are important matters, but the affairs of the emperor's heir are also important matters. Now that the harem is empty, your majesty would like to recruit young women from all over the world to expand the harem and give birth to an heir as soon as possible."

Xiao Jumao regained his energy immediately, it seemed that these ministers had nothing to do, and started to take care of his harem.

"You ministers also think so?" He asked deliberately.

Many ministers agreed one after another, but only a few could hear the joke in his words and kept silent.

Xiao Jumao finished appreciating the faces of the ministers, then turned his eyes to Tan Shiguan who stood still and bowed his head, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

"What does Duke Dingguo think?"

Tan Shiguan raised his head to meet his gaze, lowered his head again, took a step out, and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that the granddaughter of Lord Zhao and the youngest son of Lord Zheng have reached the marriageable age. , Your Majesty, don’t wish to propose a decree to bestow a marriage to fulfill this beautiful thing.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old minister who spoke first and the other minister knelt down on the ground, bluntly saying that they each had a favorite family, and to the effect that they begged the emperor not to mess up the mandarin ducks.Who doesn't know that the relationship between the two of them has always been bad, how can an enemy become an in-law.

The two knelt on the ground and looked at each other. Who would want to marry that savage granddaughter of yours?Who is willing to be the grandson-in-law of your family's second-generation patriarch?

"Oh, that's it, then I don't want to force others to make things difficult for me." Both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, but they were stunned for a second. Married. Retire!"

Xiao Jumao came out of the Qiankun Palace, walking in a hurry, walking faster and faster, seeing Tan Shiguan lagging far behind, couldn't help but glared at him, went back to Jingquan Palace, closed the palace door tightly, and then climbed onto the dragon couch , Fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Quan's voice came from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, it's almost noon."

Today is Xiao Jumao's birthday, there is a banquet in the palace, the king and his officials have fun together.The decoration starts at noon, it is held at noon, and the application is over.

All the ministers had already gone home to have their meals and stuffed their stomachs, so they didn't worry about being hungry. Xiao Jumao also ate some snacks and drank hot tea in Jingquan Palace, and then washed up and went to Rende in good spirits. temple.

Seeing the emperor's arrival, all the ministers knelt down neatly, congratulated the emperor loudly, said unanimous congratulatory speeches, and presented gifts one by one, from low to high.

Xiao Jumao sat in the upper seat, smiling, nodding his head from time to time, waiting until the end, Duke Ding offered his gift.Although Xiao Jumao had been prepared for a long time, seeing Tan Shiguan's gifts similar to those of other ministers, he still felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that Tan Shiguan didn't want others to doubt the relationship between the two, but he knew it was the same thing. Feeling awkward is another matter.

After the presents were delivered, Xiao Jumao asked all the officials to sit down. Immediately, there were dancers wearing jingle bells and music strings around the beams.

Xiao Jumao respected all the ministers for three cups, and then stopped drinking. The ministers also knew how to measure, Xiao Jumao saw that they were a little cautious, so he got up and left first with an excuse, and let them drink freely.

He left the Hall of Rende, accompanied by Zhao Quan, and walked to the gate of Baolan Palace.

"You are waiting outside, I want to talk to my concubine."

Knowing what he was thinking, Zhao Quan stood outside Baolan Palace and waited quietly.

Xiao Jumao came to the palace where his mother and concubine lived. There was a portrait hanging on the wall. In the painting, the woman was holding a long sword. She was heroic, her clothes fluttered, her eyebrows and eyes were lively, unlike her in the palace, her eyes were full of melancholy.

This palace is really uncomfortable.

He meditated in the palace for a long time before slowly stepping out of the Jingquan Palace. At this time, the sun was setting and the afterglow filled the entire palace, setting off the palace towers beautifully, but there was some coldness and loneliness for no reason.

As soon as he took a few steps, he saw not far away, a man in black and gold official uniform standing and staring, Xiao Jumao's heart moved slightly, if he was accompanied by this person, the palace would not seem so scary.

"I want to drink."

"I will accompany you."

"I want to drink on the roof."

"I will accompany you."

"I want to watch the stars while drinking."

"I will accompany you."

Zhao Quan: "..." I always feel that Ding Guogong has done all his own things, what should he do if he is useless?

After the palace banquet was over, the officials returned to the mansion, and the palace became quiet and deserted again. As night fell, the sky was full of stars.

Xiao Jumao ordered Zhao Quan to fetch fine wine, Tan Shiguan held it in his hands, took two wine bottles, wrapped Xiao Jumao's waist, tapped his toes, and jumped up to the glazed roof.

The breeze is coming, the starry sky is shining, fine wine in hand, beauty in arms, this is really a great joy in life, Xiao Jumao bent his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, stained with stars, he poured a glass of wine, looked at the place where the wine was rippling , the starlight flutters inside, floating up and down.

"Look, there are also stars in the wine." He held the cup to Tan Shiguan, then leaned into his arms, and smiled brightly, "I want to drink the stars into my stomach."

Tan Shiguan looked at him quietly and protected him with his hands. This man was obviously brighter than the stars.

Xiao Jumao drank four or five cups in a row, his face became flushed, and the corners of his eyes were already crimson.

He suddenly threw the cup in his hand to the ground, and the crisp crackling sound echoed in the silent courtyard, but he didn't care about it. He threw the cup on the roof, looked down at him, and reached out to caress the man's eyebrows. , drunkenly said: "You also have stars in your eyes."

"Your Majesty, you are drunk."

"Are I drunk?" Xiao Jumao tilted his head and suddenly showed his face, "I'm not, you are lying."

Tan Shi watched the stars in his eyes flickering, and said softly: "Okay, I lied to you, you are not drunk."

Xiao Jumao laughed foolishly when he heard this.

"Dingguo Gong, the stars are beautiful tonight, would you like to sleep with me?"

Tan Shiguan looked at him for a moment, then sat up suddenly, hugged him across his arms, got up and landed floatingly.
