20 Chapter 20 Misunderstanding
"If you want to sleep, you have to take off your clothes." Mu Hanzhang reluctantly pushed the person on him.
"Let me take it off for you." Jing Shao, who was still lying limply, suddenly became energetic. He sat up and began to untie his servant's clothes.
"I...I'll do it myself." Mu Hanzhang hurriedly grabbed the hand holding the belt around his waist.
Jing Shao smiled when he heard this, put down the curtain, sat on the side and stared at the people.
Mu Hanzhang's face turned even redder, and he quickly took off his coat and middle coat, and got into the quilt. Jing Shao looked interesting, so he took off his clothes and got in, pulled the person over and kissed his forehead.
Xiao Yuan told him that he must be gentle and respectful when treating his wife in bed. Kissing is more effective than touching randomly, because this will not make him feel ashamed. From the kiss on the forehead to the center of the eyebrow, to the cool tip of the nose and soft lips, the person in his arms closed his eyes nervously, but did not resist.
Jing Shao secretly thought that this method was indeed effective. He gently pulled open the snow-white undershirt. The light outside the bed was still on. Through the light coming from the curtain, he could clearly see the delicate Adam's apple and the graceful collarbone. He refrained from putting his paw up, but propped himself up on the bed, leaned over and kissed along his chin, and licked his white neck. The cute Adam's apple slid up and down, Jing Shao curled his lips and continued downward.
The white chest is slightly thin, but it is not as thin as imagined. Instead, it has beautiful and smooth muscles, and the two pink beans shrink their heads shyly. So beautiful, I really want to touch it! Jing Shao swallowed, leaned over and took a pink one in his mouth.
"Um..." Mu Hanzhang bit his lower lip. An itchy and trembling feeling instantly spread throughout his body. He wanted to push the person on him away, but felt pity from his gentle movements, so he had to tighten his grip. Bed sheets, I told myself to endure it for a while longer and satisfy him a little more. Let the uncomfortable yet comfortable feeling hit your body like a tide.
Feeling the indulgence of the person under him, Jing Shao couldn't help but become more excited, took the small thing in his mouth and gently bit it.
"Ah...well..." Mu Hanzhang's body began to tremble slightly, and the strong feeling forced him to arch his body.
Jing Shao got the response and couldn't help but feel a little carried away. He reached down and touched the two round pieces through a layer of snow satin.
"Well... don't..." Mu Hanzhang woke up instantly, shrank his body upwards, opened his eyes and looked at the stunned man holding the bed with one hand in horror.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Mu Hanzhang, who was half propped up, lowered his head in embarrassment. Jing Shao was disturbed by this sudden change and suddenly lost interest, secretly angry that he was too impatient. He sighed, turned over and lay down on his side, facing the wall and getting angry with himself.
Seeing that he was angry, Mu Hanzhang slowly tightened the corner of the quilt in his hand, then slowly loosened it, then tightened it again, pulled it over to cover Jing Shao, and lay down silently, staring at the ceiling of the tent in a daze. I must have let him down again...
After thinking wildly all night, Mu Hanzhang didn't fall asleep until dawn.
The next day, the memorial of the barbarian invasion was indeed brought to the court by the Minister of War.
"Jing Shao, what do you think of the fighting power of the Southern Barbarians?" Emperor Hongzheng had read this memorial yesterday. The reason why he asked Jing Shao for his opinion first was because Song An, the Minister of War, suggested in the review proposal that the emperor who had just returned from victory should King Cheng led his troops and went there.
"I think that although the Nanman are villagers in the mountains, since they can fight against the governor of Yunnan and Tibet, they are naturally superior and should not be underestimated." Jing Shao told the truth and laid out the fact that this matter was difficult. At the same time, he hinted that this was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Emperor Hongzheng frowned slightly, showing no signs of happiness or anger: "What do you think, sirs?"
There was a moment of silence in the court, and people came forward one after another to offer suggestions.
Some people say that the Southern Barbarians are a desolate land, and the hills occupied by a few unscrupulous people are not rich, so it is better to let them go. Someone immediately retorted, saying that where is the national prestige and the monarch's power now, troops must be sent to suppress it.
Then someone else said that the terrain of Yunnan and Tibet was complex and the people in that area were ignorant, so a brave and resourceful general must be sent there not only to suppress the rebellion, but also to appease the people.
There was a quarrel in the court for a while. Except for Emperor Hongzheng who kept silent, there were only three princes standing at the top. Jing Shao glanced at his brother and the eldest prince beside him, and then he remembered that the fourth prince was grounded. If the fourth prince was smart enough, he should take the initiative to challenge. If he was too smart... his eyes drifted to the eldest prince who was about to speak, A cold light flashed in Jing Shao's lowered eyes. Let's see who of the two is more unlucky.
Finally, Emperor Hongzheng stopped the people's quarrel and concluded: "Although the Southern Barbarians are wild, it is also the land of Dachen. I will never allow the mountains and rivers conquered by Taizu to fall to the wayside, not even an inch!"
"Your Majesty!" All the ministers knelt down one after another.
"As for the candidates for command and the number of troops, the Ministry of War will discuss the regulations and discuss them in court tomorrow! Retreat!" After Emperor Hongzheng finished speaking, he turned around and left with a wave of his sleeves.
Jing Shao and his brother looked at each other and gave each other a tacit smile.
When I woke up this morning, I saw that my princess was still sleeping soundly, so I quietly walked past him to dress and come to court. Because he woke up late and was not in a hurry to eat, Jing Shao took two meatloaf and took them with him. While he was enjoying the meal on the carriage, his brother suddenly got into his carriage and told him that the Ministry of War was submitting the memorial yesterday. At that time, Sun Shangshu discovered the regulations written by Song An suggesting that King Cheng go on an expedition.
While secretly cursing Song An for acting on his own, he also felt that his brother had a wide network of contacts. So he discussed with his brother and simply acted eager for quick success and quick profit, so that his father would think that he had colluded with his father-in-law to ask for this job, which would make him feel uncomfortable and would not assign this task to himself.
After the two brothers left the court, they still did not exchange a word and went their separate ways after leaving the palace.
"Hengzhi, the method you taught me is really useful." Jing Shao, who ran to Huiwei Building for breakfast again, patted Xiao Yuan on the back happily when he saw him. Although he gave up halfway last night, he made a step forward overall.
Poor Minister Xiao, a scholar, was almost vomited blood by the prince who practiced martial arts for many years, but he smiled generously: "That's right, what I said is absolutely effective." Then he pulled Jing Shao to eat buns while bragging about how he used gentle means to make his tall and mighty wife lie down under him.
Zhou Jin, wearing a pastel-colored coat, stood at the back door and sighed helplessly, motioning the waiter to send the rice porridge to the two men. I bullied my husband a lot last night, so I'd better not get close to him and make him angry. Besides, my clothes are too embarrassing. It's better to see fewer outsiders today.
Mu Hanzhang woke up in the morning and found that the seat next to her was cold. She was shocked to realize that she had overslept and didn't help her husband get up. She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. That man should be even more angry now, right?
Jing Shao went out for a whole day and didn't come back for lunch.
After dealing with several important matters, Mu Hanzhang held the account book and began to be in a daze. He couldn't concentrate on reading it. It wasn't until Yunzhu came to report that the nanny's family had moved in that he came to his senses and hurried over.
The servants lived in the long house and several small courtyards between the east and west courtyards and the back door of the palace. Duofu specially asked someone to vacate a small courtyard with three rooms for the princess's nanny's family to live in. Grandma Zhou cleaned up the house with a smile on her face, but when she saw Mu Hanzhang, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an upright figure, her eyes could not help but turn red.
"Master didn't sleep well last night." After reminiscing for a long time, Grandma Zhou took Jing Shao's hand and looked at his face carefully.
"Yeah." Mu Hanzhang replied absentmindedly.
"Could it be that the prince..." Grandma Zhou looked at the young master she had raised since childhood with worry. Having lived to such an old age, she naturally knew more. The love between men is inevitably more difficult for the one who bears it. Seeing that he looked bad, she thought that he must have suffered last night, and she was so distressed that she was about to cry again.
"Don't blame him," Mu Hanzhang saw that the nurse misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "The prince treats me very well." For some reason, he just didn't want people close to him to misunderstand Jing Shao.
Seeing that the nurse didn't believe him, Mu Hanzhang could only sigh: "It's me... who made him angry."
Jing Shao didn't go home for a day, it was not intentional. He originally planned to skip the military roll call and go home to eat lunch and take a nap. However, he was stopped by the guards sent by the other courtyard just after breakfast, saying that Ren Feng had something urgent to find him.
Ren Feng was originally a man in the martial arts world. He had a good reputation in the underworld, but his mother was old at home, and it was really unsafe to be in the martial arts world. So he retired and followed Jing Shao to make money to support his mother and marry a wife. In the bloody place of the martial arts world, only a few people can make money. Therefore, when Ren Feng sent out the news that Cheng Wang was recruiting talents, many people came to apply soon. The reason why Ren Feng hurried to find Jing Shao today was because a famous figure in the martial arts world appeared in the team of applicants.
When Jing Shao finished solving the matter of the other village and returned home, it was already dinner time, and his own princess was sitting at the dinner table in a daze.
Today, the nurse told him that King Cheng was a normal man after all, and he was at the age of full vigor. No matter how much she doted on him, she could not tolerate his repeated rejections. Even if he did not like the concubines in Xiyuan, there were countless people in the capital waiting to climb into his bed, and one day he would fall in love with someone else...
When he thought of Jing Shao smiling gently at others in the future, Mu Hanzhang felt a pain in his heart, so immersed in his own thoughts, he did not even notice Jing Shao approaching him.
