"Your, Your Majesty must be joking, haha, haha …" Su Yu laughed dryly, completely scared out of his wits.
An Hong-chul glanced at him, "Zhen asks you, is the tenth of October a festival?"
"The tenth of October …" Su Yu stuttered, quickly thinking of the fifteenth of August and the ninth of September. "Ah, it's Yan Di's birthday." At the critical moment of life and death, his mind suddenly became clear. He even remembered such a rare festival!
"Who is Yan Di?" His Majesty the Emperor frowned.
"He is …" Su Yu's mouth twitched. How could he forget? This was a completely different time and space from where he originally lived. Whether it was the geographical environment, the historical changes, or even the gods and demons worshipped, everything was different. There was no such thing as Yan Di, Da Yu, etc.
His Majesty the Emperor sneered, "The tenth of October is my Da An dynasty's Manchu Feast. You actually don't know about such a grand festival, and you still dare to say that you're not an alien?"
The Da An dynasty's Manchu Feast was mainly used to worship the ancestors of the Da An imperial family. The tenth of October was the harvest time. Not only did the imperial family climb the Anguo Tower to worship, but the common people also held sumptuous banquets at home to pray for the ancestors' blessings to continue to have good weather in the coming year. Because the Da An dynasty had miraculous good weather every year, the common people believed in the Manchu Feast very much. The grandeur of the Manchu Feast was no less than the New Year.
He had only been in this time and space for half a year, and it hadn't even been the tenth of October yet. How could he know about such a festival? Su Yu subconsciously shrank back. His mind was full of thoughts, 'It's over, it's over, I'm going to be sacrificed to the heavens!'
His Majesty the Emperor caught Su Yu, who was about to fall off the bed, and held him in his arms. His Majesty the Emperor said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid. As long as you're obedient, Zhen won't tell anyone."
Su Yu stared blankly at His Majesty. He couldn't see His Majesty's expression in the dark, but he could vaguely see a trace of a smile in His Majesty's bright eyes. "Be, be obedient …" He was already obedient to His Majesty, how could he be obedient?
An Hong-chul chuckled and suddenly turned over, pressing Su Yu under his body and kissing his lips.
"Mmm …" The cool thin lips carried the fragrance of green grass as they moved around and gradually went deeper. Su Yu was dazed as he allowed the Emperor to do what he wanted. It was only when a warm and slender hand reached into his inner robe that he came back to his senses. "Your, Your Majesty!"
"Don't move, let me touch you." The Emperor domineeringly pressed Su Yu's hands on top of his head and released his lips. He slowly moved his hands to his temples and sniffed lightly. Then, he moved his hands to his ears and neck. It was as if a wild beast was confirming whether its food was fresh before eating.
This kind of action caused Su Yu to tremble. His soul, which had been scared to the ninth heaven, gradually returned. Only then did he remember that the Emperor had long seen through his differences, but had never done anything to him. Moreover, they were lovers now …
After confirming the freshness of the food, His Majesty happily began to taste the delicious food. Delicious fish naturally had to be licked from head to tail, caressing it inch by inch until the white fish turned pink, and then it became braised fish.
The next day, the Emperor happily went to court.
Su Yu's head was smoking as he hid under the quilt like an ostrich. Last night, the Emperor touched him here and there. He couldn't help but touch the Emperor. This made the Emperor discover a new world and pestered him for most of the night.
With one hand covering his face, Su Yu thought of the various unequal treaties he had foolishly agreed to. He couldn't help but feel angry.
The Emperor was clearly teasing him last night. The so-called obedient was to let the Emperor kiss and touch him. He also had to be on call every day. When the Emperor was bored, he had to be a chef, a masseuse, a pillow, etc. As a chef, it was enough for him to work part-time as a concubine. Now, he had to take on more part-time jobs without any extra salary. Even his luxurious dormitory was confiscated. His future was really dark …
"Yesterday, something big happened in the imperial harem. I think everyone already knows." The Emperor's tone was cold, but there was a slight smile on his lips.
The courtiers looked at each other. They couldn't tell if the Emperor was angry or happy. But no matter what the Emperor's mood was, what happened yesterday wasn't a good thing. The Emperor mentioned it now, it definitely wasn't to reward them. They said in unison: "Chen is afraid."
"Zhen didn't know that the guards in the palace could be ordered by the imperial concubines," An Hong-chul's face was cold, "Today, they dared to add calming incense to Xian fei's spice. Tomorrow, they can add crane top red in zhen's food?"
"Emperor, please calm down." The courtiers knelt down. Prime Minister Lu was sweating. Last night, the news came from the palace that his daughter caused trouble and was grounded. Even though the Empress Dowager protected her and didn't punish her, the Emperor clearly wasn't going to let it go.
"Emperor, ever since Princess Mu intervened in the palace guards, there have been problems in the palace. Chen thinks that Princess Mu should be removed from her position as the Deputy Guard." Prime Minister Lu spoke. The Emperor first mentioned the guards, then the imperial concubines. Then the focus was on the guards. He naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to mention his daughter first. After being an official for so many years, of course he knew what the Emperor wanted.
Princess Mu, who was named, glared coldly at the Prime Minister. She hurriedly spoke: "Emperor, ever since Prince Su and Prince Ling came to Jing in the seventh month, the inner palace and the Valiant Cavalry Camp have been under the control of the two imperial uncles. Chen really didn't know what happened yesterday."
These words were really vicious. The inner palace and the Valiant Cavalry Camp were under the control of the two imperial uncles. To put it bluntly, the Emperor's entire fortune was in the hands of the two imperial uncles.
"Brat, what do you mean!" Prince Su grabbed Princess Mu's collar.
"Nephew didn't mean to criticize imperial uncles. I'm just speaking the truth." Princess Mu's long and narrow eyes were full of coldness.
"Emperor, Princess Mu has already stayed in Jing for too long. Now that the Emperor is 20 years old, he should give the Royal Prince a suitable fief." Marquis Of Changchun suddenly spoke.
Prime Minister Lu looked at Marquis Of Changchun in surprise. This person had always been very slippery. He had always maintained a neutral position in the court. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Marquis Of Changchun secretly complained in his heart. He also didn't want to be the first one to stand out. It was really his daughter who made him worry. Ever since the Empress Dowager chose Miss Cen to enter the palace, Marquis Of Changchun's residence didn't have a day of peace. He was on tenterhooks every day. After all, the Chen Xiang incident was caused by his family. Once the Emperor investigated, Marquis Of Changchun's residence would be in danger. He had no choice but to tightly hug the Emperor's thigh.
His Majesty the Emperor looked deeply at Marquis Of Changchun. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Marquis Of Changchun's words are reasonable. Let's set the fief at Yong City. You can leave Jing City in ten days."
"Ah?" Princess Mu and Prince Su exclaimed in unison.
Yong City was a small city in the northwest. As a fief for a Royal Prince, it was acceptable. However, Yong City was under the jurisdiction of Prince Su. A Royal Prince couldn't leave his fief without being summoned. If the fief was still under the jurisdiction of a prince, his freedom would be even less.
Prince Su didn't like this nephew. If he threw him under his nose, wouldn't he be disgusted every day? He couldn't help but look at Prince Ling.
Prince Ling bared his teeth at his elder brother gloatingly. His northern region was connected to the western region. It was very convenient for him to collude with foreign enemies. Naturally, the Emperor wouldn't confer the Royal Prince to the northern region.
The storm in the imperial court didn't affect Su Yu at all. He was reciting books while making breakfast for the Emperor.
In the morning, because the Emperor hugged him and rubbed against him after waking up, he delayed cooking and went to court with an empty stomach. Su Yu was a little distressed. Although Wang Gonggong said that the Emperor used to eat after court, when he thought about the feeling of going to morning self-study with an empty stomach in high school, he decided to make more snacks. In the future, the Emperor would eat before going to court and then have a good meal when he came back.
Therefore, when the Emperor came back from a killing spree, he saw a sumptuous breakfast on the table.
"Hmph, don't think that if you make good food to please me, I'll let you go." The Emperor took a bite of prawns and lotus root, "Come with me to the imperial study later."
After breakfast, the Emperor had to review memorials in the imperial study and occasionally meet with some ministers who were discussing official business. Because the Emperor had tasted the sweetness of last night, he would hug Su Yu and kiss him whenever he had the chance. For example, now.
The Emperor sat on the wide dragon throne, holding Su Yu in his arms. He supported his chin with one hand on his waist and the other holding a red brush to review memorials.
"Emperor, Emperor, this isn't good." Su Yu moved uncomfortably. Sitting like this, he could clearly see the contents of the memorials. Was it really okay for the imperial concubines to see the memorials?
"What?" An Hong-chul raised an eyebrow at him. The meaning was clear. As a foreign star, if he wanted to live, he had to be obedient. Don't try to resist me. My patience is very bad.
"Nothing." Su Yu admitted defeat. He silently took out 《Fish Killing Technique》 from his sleeve and obediently recited it.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Prince Ling requests an audience." The guard outside the door reported.
"Let him in." The Emperor responded without raising his head.
"Emperor, quickly let go of this subject." Su Yu hurriedly stood up, but the hand on his waist firmly held him and did not let him move. Outside the door, Prince Ling's footsteps could be heard. He was so anxious that he immediately broke out in sweat.
"This subject greets the Emperor, my Emperor …" Prince Ling came in and saluted in a deadpan manner.
"That's enough, don't be long-winded." The Emperor waved his hand and interrupted Prince Ling's salute. On one hand, he couldn't bear to listen to the red tape, and on the other hand, he wanted to prevent Imperial Uncle from saluting Su Yu.
Prince Ling hadn't knelt down yet. Hearing this, he raised his head, "Eh? Concubine Xian is also here. " He immediately understood the Emperor's meaning and did not insist. He smiled and went over to take a small fish cake from the imperial table.
The Emperor frowned, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, Prince Jing's gift has arrived in the capital." Prince Ling quickly ate the cake in his hand, then took another one and said.
"Send it directly to Anguo Tower." An Hong-chul glared at Imperial Uncle and moved the plate of pastries away.
Prince Ling curled his lips and looked at Su Yu. He smiled and said, "Concubine Xian, I had someone send the chili over. It will be sent to the palace at noon."
Su Yu blinked. He didn't understand why Prince Ling always wanted to send him chili. "Thank you, Imperial Uncle."
"No need to be so polite," Prince Ling waved his hand, "Since you're married to the Emperor, you're naturally my nephew. If you need anything, just tell Imperial Uncle."
"Oh." Su Yu nodded, indicating that he understood. It turned out that the elders of the imperial family were so friendly. He originally thought that if he couldn't grow chili, he would have to use benefits to exchange with Prince Ling. Who knew that Prince Ling was actually a living Lei Feng.
Prince Ling choked. This child was too honest. "… Cough, that, if you really feel bad, when you make the spicy boiled fish, you can also send a portion to Prince Ling's residence."
Su Yu: "… …"
