Chapter 9 Lively
Several people responded hurriedly, turned and left.

"Your Majesty, this is the new ginseng soup made by the dining room. You have been busy all day, so you should use some."

Emperor Tianqin took the ginseng soup, took a sip and raised his head.

"Zuoqiuju, has the Gu family taken over?"

Zuoqiuju was the servant beside Tianqin Emperor, responsible for his daily life and travel.

Zuo Qiuju has been by Emperor Tianqin's side since he was born. He used to be a little-known servant, but now he is the celebrity beside Emperor Tianqin whom everyone wants to curry favor with.

"Return to His Majesty, I have already received it. The servant went to visit in the morning. Mr. Gu didn't say anything, but that young master Gu was very lively."

"Gu Yuyan?"

"Your Majesty knows him?" Zuo Qiuju's eyes were filled with doubts. Even if Mr. Gu's virtuous name spread far and wide, his Majesty wouldn't know his son.

Emperor Tianqin didn't answer directly, but asked another question, "How lively?"

The corner of Zuo Qiuju's mouth twitched, and he flicked the whisk, "It took twenty escort soldiers to stop Young Master Gu."

Although there are scruples and reasons why he dare not hurt him, but being able to fight twenty soldiers with one person's strength is really immeasurable.

"Send someone to tell him that if he continues to make trouble, he will not be allowed to see his sister."

Zuo Qiuju panicked and lowered his head to hide the astonishment in his eyes, and said yes.

He has served His Majesty for many years, and it is extremely rare to see His Majesty treat others so tolerantly.

It's common for a beautiful woman to have a love house and a bird, but how can this common thing appear so bizarre when it comes to His Majesty?

"Hold on."

Zuo Qiuju paused again when he raised his foot, turned around respectfully and waited.

"What is she doing now?"

Emperor Tianqin pinched the center of his brows, he had been busy with work for the past few days and hadn't had a lot of rest, pouring cup after cup of strong tea into his stomach, so at this moment he only felt bursts of pain in his head.

"Your Majesty said...?"

"Gu Ruzhen, what is she doing now?"

Zuo Qiuju glanced out the window, and reckoned that it was time to be ugly.

"When the slave just went to see it, the candlelight in the hall had just been extinguished, so the girl must have fallen asleep."

Emperor Tianqin thought for a while, then waved his hand to signal Zuoqiu to get together.

When he was the only one left in the study, he stood up and went to the window and looked up at the sky.

There are no stars in the night sky, only a few here and there.

He looked at it for a while, then walked to the side screen, picked up the black cloak on it and walked out.

When he reached the gate of Changqiu Palace, he stopped.

On the day when the city gate was breached, he took a rough look at the harem. As the queen's bedroom, the Changqiu Palace was indeed magnificent, and the ornaments inside were precious and rare.

But no matter how deserted it looked, it couldn't be seen at all that it was the bedroom where the queen pet lived.

Speaking of pets, the two of them didn't seem to have as much affection as he thought.

That's good, he doesn't need to do more unnecessary things.

Emperor Tianqin stayed at the door for a while, opened the door and walked in.

She hasn't slept well these days, so the censer in the temple burns incense that soothes the spirit.

The window was slightly opened, and the evening wind blew, and the hanging moon-white gauze floated with the wind.

He lifted the veil and walked in.

The night was thick, and he couldn't see too clearly, he only felt the indifference and alienation between the woman's eyebrows when she was no longer awake.

His hand was hanging in the air, and he wanted to stretch it forward, but he was stunned for a while, and then slowly retracted his hand.

Emperor Tianqin sighed softly, and slowly sat on the couch.

He pressed the sleeping hole on the back of the woman's neck, and then took off the cloak.

Today the weather is still warm during the day, but there is still a bit of a cool breeze at night.

So he didn't lie down immediately, but waited until the coolness on his body dissipated, and sprinkled a handful of incense into the censer before returning to the bed.

Almost as soon as he lay down, she rolled over and leaned against him.

She snuggled into the man's arms very naturally, with one hand resting on his chest.

The man's arm on one side was motionless at first, and after a long time, he suddenly heard her say two words in a sleepy voice.

For a moment, his cold eyes were filled with tenderness, and he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and patted her gently.

"I'm here." He said softly.

The two hugged each other, and soon Emperor Tianqin fell into a deep sleep.

……

After more than an hour, Emperor Tianqin moved his fingers and opened his eyes.

At this time, Zuoqiu Ju had already ordered the maids to bring the washing things, and they stood outside the bedroom and waited together.

He heard the rustling movement inside, but he didn't hear the voice of Emperor Tian Qin, so even though his heart was like a cat scratching, he didn't dare to look up.

Although their Majesty is still young, being young does not mean that His Majesty is a gentle and easy-talking person.

As a servant, if he could not pry into the emperor's heart, and guess the emperor's will, then sooner or later he would be sent to the west with a knife on his neck.

The sky was still dark, and within a few moments, the man's eyes had regained clarity.

Emperor Tianqin was a man with terrifying self-discipline. There were many heirs in the Tianqin royal family, and the battle for the throne was even more so if he made a wrong move and his life would be lost.

He was not favored since he was a child, and he didn't have a strong mother's support behind him, so he could only ask for orders to guard the frontier when he was young.

From an unknown prince to a well-known general who has won many battles, he has paid a lot along the way.

After finally ascending to the throne, he had to use tactics to defeat the surrounding countries one by one.

In the past few years, no courtier has risen earlier than him, but without the self-discipline that has been carved into his bones for so many years, he would not have achieved what he is today.

He lowered his head and glanced at the woman in his arms, then put her aside very lightly, then got up and left the bed.

Before leaving, he looked at the bed again.

The woman slept peacefully with her hands folded under her cheeks, her brows and eyes were relaxed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

He stretched out his hand to close the quilt, and then went out.

Zuo Qiuju held a wooden plate in his hand, on which was a dragon robe with dark patterns, only the edges were stitched with thin gold threads.

Emperor Tianqin had fought for many years, and he didn't like others to be close to him. Even Zuoqiuju, who had watched him grow up, could only stand aside and bow his head respectfully.

He put on his outer robe, and simply tied his hair with a jade crown.

He was afraid that the movement during this process would be too loud and disturb him, so he moved very lightly, Zuoqiuju and several court ladies didn't even dare to breathe.

Walking to the door, Emperor Tianqin looked at Wu Zhu standing there, frowning slightly, "Take good care of her, from now on, she will be your new master."

Wu Zhu is Cui Shao's cousin, who escaped because she was dissatisfied with the marriage contract arranged by her family, and entered the military camp disguised as a man.

When she was discovered, she had already cut off the head of the opposite commander.

Emperor Tianqin did not punish her, but conferred the title of female general on her, named Zhaowu.
