Chapter 85 Chapter 84 I will give you a prosperous world
Because the Queen Mother likes quietness, and she has accumulated power in the palace for a long time, even though the palace maids are now concentrating on worshiping Buddha, they dare not be presumptuous. Seeing Gu Shiyan coming, they dare not look up, but just keep their heads down and do the things in their hands, silent.
Gu Shiyan didn't wait long. He stood under the corridor. Even the strong midday sun couldn't shine on him. The corridor was very cool and well-ventilated on all sides. It was a cool place.
A moment later, an old woman with gray hair and dressed in the clothes of a female official came out. She was wearing a plain long dress and her hair was tied up with just a wooden hairpin, which was consistent with the rumor that Buddha was worshipped all year round in the Cining Palace.
Gu Shiyan heard the noise and looked in her direction. His eyes were calm yet polite, his posture dignified, his manners revealing the grace of a young man from an aristocratic family, even tinged with his own unique arrogance. Such a person would stand out in a crowd, especially since Gu Shiyan was standing in such a prominent position.
As the old woman stepped out of the palace, she saw Gu Shiyan standing under the corridor. Some scattered sunlight took the opportunity to penetrate and fell on Gu Shiyan. The young man, who was already as gentle as jade, looked even more cold and noble in such an environment, like a holy snow lotus standing alone in the Tianshan Mountains.
Qingyan was momentarily stunned. She had even thought Gu Shiyan was absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. As she drew closer, Gu Shiyan's face became clearer. His tall nose, gentle eyes, and even his bright red lips all resembled Liang Qiulan.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands in excitement, then stared at Gu Shiyan, hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.
Instead, it was Gu Shiyan who spoke to her first: "Aunt, does the Queen Mother have any instructions?"
However, she couldn't control her emotions for a moment and lost her composure. She looked at Gu Shiyan with apology, and her liking for him increased. His behavior was dignified and generous, even better than the children of the aristocratic families in the capital.
"Young Master, please follow me in. The Empress Dowager is waiting for you." Qingyan's tone was gentle, and she didn't show any of the decisiveness of the maid in charge of the Cining Palace.
Gu Shiyan replied, "Thank you for your help, aunt."
The hall was filled with the scent of incense burning in temples, a Buddhist sense of purity and holiness. The moment he smelled this scent, Gu Shiyan frowned slightly, unnoticed by others. He had never liked such smells and even had some prejudice against Buddhism.
In just a moment, Gu Shiyan returned to his expressionless face, and no one noticed his abnormality.
The hall was covered in dark yellow curtains, making it look more like a temple than a palace. Gu Shiyan looked up and saw that this was not the main hall of the Cining Palace. The specifications of the hall were a bit too low.
Qingyan, who was walking in front, happened to explain to him, "The Empress Dowager has been worshipping Buddha all year round, so she converted a side hall in the Cining Palace into a Buddhist temple and has lived here ever since."
Gu Shiyan showed an expression of understanding and said thank you, and then the atmosphere returned to calm.
Even though this is a side hall, it is very spacious. Gu Shiyan followed Qingyan and came to a small Buddhist hall in the hall.
Gu Shiyan only saw a thin veil. Behind it lay a table, upon which sat a Buddha statue. Bare-chested, half-dressed in a cassock, its face full of compassion, a touch of red between its eyebrows adding to its sacredness. A number of fruits and vegetables were placed on the table, and the incense in the burner was burning. The scent, mixed with the fruits and vegetables, would have captivated a Buddhist enthusiast, but Gu Shiyan felt a little uneasy.
A figure knelt on a mat beneath the curtains. She was dressed in plain clothes, her long hair cascading down her body. She looked a little old, yet her posture was remarkably upright. Through the thin veil, Gu Shiyan saw that the figure had her eyes tightly closed, mumbling something inaudibly, and the red sandalwood Buddhist beads rolled in her somewhat aged hands.
Seeing this, Qingyan whispered, "My Lady, Master Gu is here."
Shangguan Jing said nothing, but gestured for her to leave. Qingyan bowed slightly and retreated. For a moment, only Gu Shiyan and Shangguan Jing were left in the hall.
Gu Shiyan was about to salute, but Shangguan Jing seemed to have anticipated his action. An old yet gentle voice rang out, "No need to be polite. Please sit down."
He found a chair nearby and sat down obediently, his hands resting on his knees. He lowered his eyes to stare at his hands, not taking the opportunity to examine the hall's decorations. Gu Shiyan sat there quietly, seemingly waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, but she showed no intention of speaking.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment before Shangguan Jing slowly spoke, "You and your mother are cut from the same cloth. When she wanted to marry your father, I opposed it, but I couldn't persuade her. Over the years, your father has always adhered to the vows they made when they got married."
Then she changed the subject, "I just don't know if you will have such luck in the future."
Only a cold voice was heard, as if answering her words, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother is a Buddhist, so you naturally believe that luck is bestowed by the Buddha. However, I only believe that what happens in the future is decided by myself."
Shangguan Jing smiled with a hint of disdain after hearing this. Although she spoke tenderly, her tone was a little cold. "After all, I am your great-aunt, so you can call me that."
Before Gu Shiyan could reply, she suddenly stood up, picked up a piece of paper from the desk, and placed it on the burning incense. The next second, the white paper burned in her hand, instantly turning to ash. She took out a handkerchief and wiped away the nonexistent ash.
Then he muttered, "The Buddha said: A person obsessed with lust is like holding a torch against the wind; he will surely burn his hands. The love of an emperor is a curse, not a blessing. Your future situation will be like that piece of rice paper; it will catch fire if touched."
The next second, she reached out, lifted the veil, and strode to Gu Shiyan's front. Her tone was filled with regret, "Why didn't you break up with him earlier? How can you keep a man with your beauty for long?"
Gu Shiyan had vaguely guessed something before, but he didn't expect Shangguan Jing to point it out so directly.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shangguan Jing sighed and continued, "Emperors have always been ruthless, and the Emperor of the Mu family is even more so. You are so glorious today, but what will happen if you fall from grace one day?"
A barely perceptible sadness and regret flashed across her eyes, as if she was missing her former self.
Gu Shiyan spoke in a cold tone, looking up at Shangguan Jing in front of him with a firm gaze, "This is the path I chose for myself. I will go on it no matter what. Now that I have made this move, I will never regret it."
Shangguan Jing's momentum weakened, and her tone softened. "You and your mother's tempers are cut from the same cloth."
Seeing Gu Shiyan's firm attitude, Shangguan Jing seemed to have given up trying to persuade him. She only said, "I won't keep it a secret for you, nor will I tell your parents. If you've already made up your mind, then think about how to convince your parents."
Gu Shiyan was a little surprised, as if he hadn't expected Shangguan Jing's attitude to soften so quickly. He was about to thank her, but when he thought of what Shangguan Jing had just said, he said, "Thank you, great aunt."
A hint of joy flashed across Shangguan Jing's face, but then it disappeared in an instant, replaced by a look of disdain. "What's there to thank me for? Didn't you listen to a single word I said?"
Gu Shiyan's face remained calm, as if he didn't feel awkward at all. Shangguan Jing glanced at him and said, "Since you're here, please stay and have dinner with me."
The lunch was quite peaceful. The two of them adhered to the principle of "no talking while eating, no talking while sleeping" and did not communicate too much.
After lunch, Shangguan Jing had Gu Shiyan sent out.
There was an odd harmony between the two of them, so much so that Qingyan was a little surprised when she came in. When Gu Shiyan returned, he was escorted back by Qingyan. As soon as he left the Cining Palace, he saw Xiao Huazi standing there from a distance.
He turned to Qingyan and said, "Aunt, please go back first. Thank you for your hard work today."
Qingyan quickly said, "You are too polite, sir. It is my duty." She seemed to want to say something again, but she glanced around and stopped herself from speaking.
Gu Shiyan saw her intention and said, "Aunt, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Qingyan smiled awkwardly, but finally spoke hesitantly, "I'm going to say something I shouldn't say, sir. The Queen Mother does everything out of consideration for you. Please don't take anything she wrote to heart."
"Of course, please rest assured, aunt." Gu Shiyan chuckled and then said.
The two exchanged pleasantries and then left.
As Qingyan stepped into the gate of Cining Palace, Xiao Huazi came trotting over the next second. He looked in the direction where Qingyan left, feeling a little frightened.
He then looked Gu Shiyan over and confirmed that he was uninjured before he breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a great deal more relaxed. He had witnessed firsthand how attentive the emperor was to the people before him. If anything happened to this young master, he probably wouldn't have much time left to live.
"Young master, did that aunt give you any trouble just now?" Xiao Huazi asked tentatively.
Gu Shiyan was met with confusion. Xiao Huazi glanced in the direction of the Cining Palace and explained in a low voice, "Young Master, you don't know that Aunt Qingyan is not easy to get along with. When she was a teaching nanny, the new women in the palace were most reluctant to be assigned to her."
The two of them stretched out on the palace road paved with bluestone slabs, with red walls and yellow tiles on both sides. The palace maids and eunuchs along the way saluted Gu Shiyan. They had heard that the attendant beside His Majesty, the prince of the Duke of Yingguo, had moved into the palace recently. They thought it must be this person?
They secretly looked at Gu Shiyan, and some even covered their faces with the tools in their hands, just to steal a few glances at this unparalleled Minister.
Gu Shiyan ignored their gazes, while Xiao Huazi beside him was still chattering. Before, when Mu Congmo was beside Gu Shiyan, even if his eyes accidentally swept across this young master, he would receive a warning look from His Majesty with a hint of murderous intent.
He was a talkative person. When he was serving the emperor, he didn't dare to say a word, as he almost stifled the emperor. Now, he finally got to serve Master Gu. Although the master liked quietness, his temperament was very good, apart from being a little cold. Sometimes he would even say a word or two back.
At first, Gu Shiyan didn't respond until he said, "Sir, what is it that the Queen Mother summoned you for?"
Gu Shiyan shook his head, his face expressionless, as if nothing had happened. Seeing this, Xiao Huazi stopped asking questions and continued to talk to himself.
Seeing Xiao Huazi say this, Gu Shiyan wondered why the Queen Mother knew about this. He didn't ask. Shangguan Jing had been in the palace for many years and naturally had some background. In such a large palace, it was not difficult for her to know these things.
Furthermore, Shangguan Jing should be aware of Mu Congmo's personality, and the latter never hides anything he does, so Gu Shiyan was not surprised to know about this.
Thinking of this, he looked up and saw a tall pavilion in the distance with many bells hanging on it. One side of the pavilion faced the lake, and the lake breeze blew the bells under the eaves, making crisp sounds.
Seeing Gu Shiyan standing there, staring at the pavilion in a daze, Xiao Huazi hurried forward, pointed in the direction of the pavilion, and introduced it excitedly: "That is the Moon-Chasing Pavilion. His Majesty had people built it in the palace three years ago. He ordered that no one be allowed to approach that place. It is said that there are lords of the Shadow Dragon Guard guarding there."
Zhuyue Pavilion, Gu Shiyan silently repeated these three words in his heart. It seemed that this was the place he came last time.
He turned and walked towards the tall pavilion. Seeing this, Xiao Huazi hurriedly followed. He wanted to persuade him, but when he thought of Gu Shiyan's status in the emperor's heart, he thought, "Is there anything wrong?" He decided not to spoil the young master's interest. After all, he had been serving Gu Shiyan these days, and he didn't seem to have any other hobbies besides reading travelogues and novels.
This pavilion was located in the heart of the palace, and it only took a short walk for the two of them to reach it. Gu Shiyan stared at the three large characters on the plaque. The characters were as free and unrestrained as a dragon, yet seemed to carry a hint of sorrow, making the brushstrokes less sharp.
Then, a figure in black suddenly appeared in front of the pavilion, startling Xiao Huazi so much that he almost fell to the ground. Gu Shiyan, on the other hand, looked as if nothing had happened. He put his hands behind his back and stared at the plaque in a trance.
The man in black looked at Gu Shiyan hesitantly, his eyes a little surprised. He took back the words that were on the tip of his tongue and finally said hesitantly, "Sir, do you want to go in?"
The man in black was an old acquaintance. It was none other than Chang Ye, whom Gu Shiyan had met in Jiangnan. Initially, he had wondered why Yue Zun was here. Could it be that he knew something about what was going on here? The name was on the tip of his tongue, but this time, Chang Ye was clever for a moment. Thinking that not many people knew about Gu Shiyan's identity as Yue Zun, he changed the name.
"Did he write this plaque?" Gu Shiyan did not answer his question, but asked on his own.
Who else could this be except His Majesty? Chang Ye immediately realized it and nodded in agreement, "It was written by His Majesty himself."
Gu Shiyan pushed open the dusty wooden door and walked in. Xiao Huazi wanted to follow him, but when he saw Chang Ye's warning look, he finally withdrew his steps. Before leaving, Chang Ye gave him a warning look and then disappeared.
He hid in the shadows, not daring to peek at what Gu Shiyan was doing. With his limited skills, he dared to play tricks in front of the Venerable. He must be tired of living. Furthermore, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Huazi, who was standing in front of the Moon-Chasing Pavilion.
Even he had never been to the Zhuyue Pavilion, so how could he let Xiao Huazi in? It was only because the person who came was Gu Shiyan. If it was someone else, he would definitely not let him in so easily.
When Gu Shiyan came out, it was already getting dark. The scorching sun had already set, and the pure white moon in the sky was slowly rising.
When Gu Shiyan came out, he seemed to be in a bad mood and was still as cold as usual. However, Xiao Huazi keenly noticed that he seemed to be worried, so he spoke much less along the way.
When he returned to the side hall, Gu Shiyan remained silent. He noticed a red sandalwood box beside the bed. The palace maid in the hall saw that he was a little confused and said, "Sir, this was delivered by the Jingshifang today."
Then Gu Shiyan asked everyone to go down and opened the box himself.
When Mu Congmo returned to the side hall, this was the scene he saw. Gu Shiyan was wearing an outer robe, half leaning on the bed, holding a thick, long, smooth jade in his hand, playing with it with great interest, but the shape of the jade was a little strange.
Seeing Mu Congmo coming in, Gu Shiyan's eyes, which had been drooping, moved upwards and looked straight at him, with a look that was very seductive. In the past, Mu Congmo was more proactive, but today, for some reason, Gu Shiyan was so enthusiastic.
How could Mu Congmo resist such temptation? He walked in front of Gu Shiyan and only then saw what he was holding in his hand.
He couldn't help but frown. Before he could speak, Gu Shiyan pointed to the rosewood box beside him. He looked in the direction of Gu Shiyan's hand and saw that the box was open, revealing the objects inside.
The small wooden box held a secret world. Forget about anything else. Just the jade in Gu Shiyan's hand alone contained over a dozen of them, all in different shapes and sizes. Not to mention the other objects. Mu Congmo saw bells and iron balls. He had seen these objects in picture books over the past few days, so how could he not know what they were used for?
The young man who was half-leaning on the bed sat up, still playing with the jade in his hand. Mu Congmo's blood boiled, and he wanted to snatch the jade from the other party's hand. He said to Gu Shiyan: "Stop playing with this, play with mine."
Gu Shiyan stared at him with interest, half-closed his eyes, and lazily pointed at the wooden box with one hand, and asked, "You want to use these things on me, huh?"
The boy's tone was emotionless, not even a question, but Mu Congmo was still panicked. He had never thought of using these things on Gu Shiyan. How could he use these dirty things on his A Yan?
He was a little flustered and wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only ask angrily: "Who sent these things?"
After saying that, he thought of Jingshifang and was about to go find them to settle the score with great rage, but Gu Shiyan stopped him.
"come over."
With just two words, the arrogant emperor returned to Gu Shiyan's side obediently. He was like a puppy that had angered its owner, with his head drooped, standing still and not even daring to look up at Gu Shiyan.
But instead of getting angry, Gu Shiyan chuckled and said, "Since Your Majesty wants to play, then I will play with Your Majesty."
After these words came out, Mu Congmo looked up at Gu Shiyan in disbelief, muttering: "No, A Yan, no."
How could he bear to use these things on Gu Shiyan? But the other party ignored him and reached into the wooden box with a jade hand, picked up a bell at random, and even shook it in the air a few times, making the bell emit a crisp sound.
Gu Shiyan looked at the bell, nodded with satisfaction, and then returned to bed. For convenience, he brought the wooden box to the bedside.
Seeing Mu Congmo squatting beside the bed like a log, he kicked him and ordered, "Take off your clothes and get up here."
Mu Congmo finally realized that these things were meant for him. At first, he was worried that Gu Shiyan was just speaking in anger, and felt a little uneasy, but now he was completely happy and swiftly took off all the heavy clothes on his body, revealing his beautiful figure and smooth skin.
As for Gu Shiyan wanting to play with these things on him, he had no objection at all. He belonged entirely to Gu Shiyan, and the other party could play with him however he wanted. In order to facilitate Gu Shiyan's movements, he half-knelt on the bed and looked up at Gu Shiyan.
Gu Shiyan stood on the bed and stroked Mu Congmo's hair soothingly. Then he touched Mu Congmo's skin, and Mu Congmo let out a low gasp of excitement.
He wanted to reach out and touch Gu Shiyan, whose thing was right next to his lips. He wanted to kiss him and serve Gu Shiyan well again.
Sensing that he was a little dishonest, Gu Shiyan's voice sounded with an order: "Put your hands behind you."
Mu Congmo has always been obedient and immediately carried out Gu Shiyan's orders one by one.
There was some satisfaction in Gu Shiyan's eyes. At the same time, his hands did not stop moving. A pair of bells were hung on the plum blossoms blooming in the snow, one on the left and one on the right, so charming.
Mu Congmo felt a little pain. He felt the objects on his body swaying and was at a loss for a moment. He imitated the people in the picture book and shook his body vigorously, while not forgetting to observe Gu Shiyan's expression.
The originally silent hall was filled with the tinkling sound of bells, mixed with the red light from the swaying candles and the agarwood burning in the incense burner. This was a feast for the two of them.
Especially Mu Congmo. At first, Gu Shiyan thought that he would need a while to adapt, but Mu Congmo's endurance was beyond his imagination. It would be nice if he had another tail, Gu Shiyan thought.
Seeing Gu Shiyan's satisfied expression, Mu Congmo worked even harder. He had no time to worry about the pain of his body being torn apart. He was only focused on pleasing his master.
Suddenly, a hand rested on his shoulder. Mu Congmo raised his head hesitantly and stopped what he was doing. He saw Gu Shiyan staring at him. The young man then lazily lay down on the bed and patted the place beside him.
Mu Congmo immediately understood what he meant. He climbed onto Gu Shiyan's body and sat on his legs. He stared at Gu Shiyan's handsome face and rosy lips, swallowed his saliva, and then fiddled with the bell on his body with his hand, making a crisp sound.
His movements became more and more outrageous. He first moved close to Gu Shiyan's ear and gently bit his earlobe, then lowered his body and left his marks all over Gu Shiyan's fair skin.
Gu Shiyan leaned lazily on the edge of the bed, looking at Mu Congmo with interest.
Time passed by bit by bit. The red candles in the hall had gone out, and only a little moonlight came in through the window. The two could barely see each other's bodies. The same thing went on for a long time, and Gu Shiyan couldn't help but feel a little tired.
Seeing that Gu Shiyan was not in a good mood, Mu Congmo leaned forward and held his lips with his mouth. The two of them intertwined their lips and teeth. Their skin pressed tightly together, and their mouths and bodies were filled with the taste of each other.
Under the quiet moonlight, the sound of the two people sobbing and the ringing of bells could be heard from time to time in the hall.
The passionate kiss finally ended with Gu Shiyan exhausted. He kicked Mu Congmo away and sat up straight. Only then did he notice the marks on his body. The bright red marks were particularly conspicuous on his originally fair skin. The white snow was covered with bright red plum blossoms.
He looked at Mu Congmo, who still had a bewildered look on his face, looking at him innocently. Gu Shiyan laughed and scolded, "Are you a dog? Why do you like biting people so much?"
Mu Congmo laughed wantonly, as if Gu Shiyan was praising him just now. He raised his head with some pride and said, "I am whatever Ayan likes." After that, he imitated a few dog barks and barked twice.
Gu Shiyan couldn't help but hold his forehead, and then as if he thought of something interesting, he chuckled, turned around and took out a thick ball from the wooden box, with leather connected on both sides.
He threw the thing at Mu Congmo's legs and ordered, "Since it's a dog, take it with you obediently."
Mu Congmo stared at the object in his hand in a trance. He looked at Gu Shiyan with a bit of grievance, as if begging for mercy. But he didn't wait for Gu Shiyan's order of forgiveness. In the end, he could only pick up the rough ball beside his leg with a bit of grievance and hold the fist-sized rough ball in his mouth.
He wanted to speak, but found that he could not make any sound. He could only make some groaning sounds, mixed with the sound of the bells shaking.
Gu Shiyan looked at him like this and found it very interesting, with a smile on his face.
Mu Congmo opened his legs and knelt on both sides of him. He reached out and shook the bell on the other's body, followed by a sound of pain from Mu Congmo.
"I ask, you answer, nod if you agree, do you understand?" Gu Shiyan's commanding voice sounded.
Mu Congmo didn't know what would happen next, but Gu Shiyan's words were orders that he had to follow, so he nodded obediently.
The next second, a cold voice rang out, "Three years ago, were you the one who crossed the Yunliang Thousand Feet?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Mu Congmo's face, but he finally nodded.
Gu Shiyan's face lit up with a look of sudden realization. Today, he had discovered many used objects in the dusty room of the Moon-Chasing Pavilion. There was a zither, the paint of which had already peeled, a jade fan stained with bright red, and portraits all over the room. Without exception, the people in the portraits were all dressed in white, wearing silver masks and slender figures. Even the swords at their waists were depicted in exquisite detail.
Gu Shiyan was lost in thought. The person in the painting seemed to be himself. It turned out that, unknown to him, Mu Congmo had been loving him silently and in a clumsy way.
As the scene in his mind emerged, a tear fell from the corner of Gu Shiyan's eye.
Mu Congmo felt distressed when he saw this. He wanted to lick the tears, but he had a big ball in his mouth and could only gasp weakly.
Gu Shiyan, however, didn't seem to care. He kicked Mu Congmo angrily.
Although the latter didn't know what was happening, he still endured it obediently. For him, as long as Gu Shiyan was happy, he was willing to do anything.
But Gu Shiyan didn't know what he was thinking about, and seemed a little shy. He lay lazily on the bed, gave Mu Congmo a look, and then turned his head away. It was obvious that he overestimated the tacit understanding between the two, or perhaps he overestimated Mu Congmo's courage.
Mu Congmo leaned forward and lowered his head, ready to kiss her.
The next second, a smooth foot came towards him. His expression was a little confused, while Gu Shiyan's face showed a bit of disappointment.
His usually cold voice was now tinged with a hint of shyness, "Not with my mouth, just like that." He didn't have the same thick skin as Mu Congmo, so it was really difficult for him to say such words.
Mu Congmo was stunned for a moment, his movements hesitant. When he realized what Gu Shiyan was saying, he hurriedly ran under the bed, groping for something among the scattered clothes.
After a while, Gu Shiyan and others became a little impatient, and Mu Congmo happened to find a life-saving straw at this time.
He stumbled back onto the bed, holding a small jade box in his hand. His movements were a bit flustered, and he looked a bit nervous. He knelt on the bed, looking at Gu Shiyan hesitantly, without making any movement.
Gu Shiyan was a little annoyed. He cursed, "If you don't want to, get out now."
Mu Congmo didn't dare to speak for a moment. He took out the ointment from the jade box and applied it on Gu Shiyan's body with careful movements.
The ointment was icy cold, and Gu Shiyan felt a chill all over his body, mixed with a slight itch, and his entire body trembled. Mu Congmo stopped what he was doing and looked at Gu Shiyan, as if he would throw the thing in his hand away if he said no.
Gu Shiyan seemed a little shy, turned his head away, and refused to look into Mu Congmo's eyes.
After Mu Congmo confirmed Gu Shiyan's intention, he continued with his actions. He carefully and gently applied the ointment to every inch of the area that needed it.
Once the area was completely covered in the smooth ointment, Mu Congmo began to explore the unknown territory with his fingers. It was new and exciting to him. His entire body was filled with heat and excitement, but he still controlled his movements, moving slowly and gently.
Gu Shiyan felt a tingling sensation in his body and trembled all over. He glanced at Mu Congmo urgently.
The latter acted very confidently this time and tried to coax him, but he found that he was holding a thick ball in his mouth and could not make any sound. So he looked at Gu Shiyan with pleading eyes, hoping that he could remove the obstructing thing in his mouth.
Gu Shiyan nodded indifferently, and then Mu Congmo roughly tore off the leather on it and threw the troublesome thing to the ground.
"What if you break it and want to use it next time?" Gu Shiyan asked, staring at his movements.
How could there be a next time? Mu Congmo couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still said to Gu Shiyan: "If A Yan likes it, then I will ask them to make a new one."
Mu Congmo was somewhat displeased. This thing was really in the way. He couldn't even look at Shi Yan in person. It was obvious that the latter was having fun, so he could only endure it. He even couldn't help but worry about his future life.
Without that thing in the way, Mu Congmo felt much more relaxed, and his movements became more delicate. He rubbed around and noticed the person beneath him moving. He patiently coaxed, "Ayan, be good. What if I hurt you later?"
His fingers entered a wonderful space, and the skin around them tightly wrapped around his fingers. As the number of fingers increased, he felt the pressure around him getting stronger and stronger.
Gu Shiyan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his voice was filled with tears: "Can you be faster?"
Mu Congmo was originally feeling a little hot and could not stand the provocation of his beloved. He withdrew his fingers, which had some sticky liquid on them. He didn't know if it was the remaining ointment or something else.
The fair body suddenly showed a hint of bright red, which was a flower bud blooming in the snow, so delicate.
He sat up straight and moved closer to Gu Shiyan. He recalled the actions of the person in the album, picked up the jade that Gu Shiyan had just placed in his hand, and stared at it with some dissatisfaction. The person in the album had used the jade first, but he was a little reluctant. He hadn't tasted it yet, so how could he let the jade get ahead of him?
Then he threw the jade back into the wooden box with some disgust. He held his object in one hand and placed the other hand on Gu Shiyan's body. The bells on his body made a crackling sound with his movements, bringing some tearing pain.
He first rubbed against Gu Shiyan, and then made a concerted effort to successfully enter the new world.
This place welcomed a guest from afar for the first time, and they entertained the guest in a unique way. The garlands around him tightly wrapped the guest, and the owner of the object felt tense and tense up.
The master of this world also felt the guest coming from afar, and he let out a low gasp, as if welcoming the guest.
The guests continued to explore this world and went into the depths of it. In the distance was a bottomless lake, and the tide beat against the shore, making a crisp sound.
The bell on the guest was still shaking and making a tinkling sound. The host fiddled with it out of curiosity, but the guest became even more excited and began to explore this world without restraint.
As time passed, the sound of the tide became stronger and stronger. The candles in the hall had burned out and the incense in the incense burner was almost burned out.
The guest left this world. He was a polite person. He couldn't let those things pollute this pure world.
Mu Congmo clenched the two things together in his hands, and heavy breathing sounds were heard in the hall. Their bodies reached their limits at the same time. As the residue was discharged, both of them felt a little tired.
Gu Shiyan sat up in surprise, but the pain in his body almost made him fall down. Fortunately, Mu Congmo was quick to catch him in his arms.
He gently kissed Gu Shiyan's soft lips, and listening to the faint groaning sounds coming from the person under him, he became a little restless again. He was not satisfied with such a brief kiss, he longed for more.
He lowered his gaze to the slightly red and swollen area, a trace of heartache and guilt flashing in his eyes.
In fact, his actions could be considered gentle, but since it was his first time experiencing such a thing, it was normal to have some abnormalities.
Gu Shiyan looked at his guilty expression and chuckled, thinking in his heart, why did he show such a guilty look now when he just ignored his breathing.
Gu Shiyan kicked him angrily, collapsed on the bed, and ordered, "I want to take a shower."
Mu Congmo wanted to try again, but he was worried about the person in his arms. He first dressed Gu Shiyan, then put on his own robe, and then picked him up sideways.
But he was in such a hurry that he even forgot to take off the bell hanging on his body.
The crisp sound of the bell echoed in Gu Shiyan's ears. A sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he reached out and fiddled with the bell in front of him a few times.
Mu Congmo felt a tearing pain in his body, and his whole body tensed up. He looked helplessly at Gu Shiyan, who had just done something bad in his arms, and warned in a low voice: "Ayan, don't do this, I won't be able to bear it later."
As soon as these words were spoken, a rare blush appeared on Gu Shiyan's face. He buried his head in Mu Congmo's chest, as if he was avoiding something.
Summer clothes are mostly thin, and the warm breath hit Mu Congmo's skin through the thin clothes. For a moment, his heart beat faster, and he felt the blood surging throughout his body, and his pace also quickened.
Hu Xian, who was guarding outside, saw this scene and quickly lowered his head, fearing that he would see something he shouldn't see.
"Clean up this place." The emperor's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was restraining something.
Hu Xian responded quickly. He naturally knew what was happening inside and walked in carefully with a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
There is a bathing pool in the Zichen Palace. Mu Congmo was afraid that Gu Shiyan and others would catch a cold, so he chose this place which was closer.
He first tested the water temperature with his hand, and when he found that the water temperature was just right, he carefully placed Gu Shiyan in the pool. Then he took out a jade pillow from somewhere and placed it next to Gu Shiyan.
After settling Gu Shiyan, Mu Congmo went out. When he came back, he had clothes for the two of them in his hands.
Gu Shiyan closed his eyes tightly and looked a little tired, as if he was resting.
Mu Congmo took off his outer robe and looked at the bell hanging on his body. He was afraid of disturbing Gu Shiyan, so he prepared to take it off.
But the sound of the bell when his fingers touched it still woke Gu Shiyan up. He noticed Mu Congmo's intention, half-closed his eyes, leaned lazily against the pool, and said with a little hum in his voice, "Don't take it off."
Mu Congmo's helpless laughter came from the hall. He stopped moving his hands and felt that Gu Shiyan was really seductive now. He half squatted down, moved closer to Gu Shiyan, and kissed Gu Shiyan's soft lips.
The latter was probably a little tired, so she just let him do what he wanted, occasionally letting out a satisfied moan.
The atmosphere here was already a bit hot, and after being provoked by Gu Shiyan, Mu Congmo became even more agitated. He stepped into the pool and held Gu Shiyan in his arms.
His hands caressed Gu Shiyan's fair skin, on which there were many marks left by him.
As if sensing an itch on his body, Gu Shiyan would occasionally hum softly. His back was pressed against Mu Congmo's bell, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, so he struggled to break free from Mu Congmo.
The white body was clearly visible in the clear pool. Mu Congmo only felt his blood surging and his body tensed.
In the distance, Gu Shiyan was looking at him with great interest, or to be more precise, at the bell on his body.
Seeing this, Mu Congmo plucked the bell on his body very consciously until the young man in front of him showed a satisfied smile.
Gu Shiyan looked at this scene and thought to himself that it was clearly Mu Congmo who was using his beauty to seduce the girl. Since the other party provoked him first, he would not be polite.
In the end, nothing happened between the two of them. After the cleaning was completed, Mu Congmo carried Gu Shiyan back to the side hall on the pretext that the side hall had just been soiled.
But both of them were a little excited. To be more precise, Mu Congmo was particularly excited. He clung to Gu Shiyan's body as if he had no bones.
Such wonderful times always pass by especially quickly. Outside, Hu Xian was already carefully urging Mu Congmo to prepare to go to court.
But with the beauty in his arms, Mu Congmo was unwilling to leave. He pretended not to hear and hid in Gu Shiyan's arms.
Eunuch Hu Xian outside was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but he didn't dare to urge him. What if he disturbed His Majesty? He could only hope that Master Gu could give him some advice.
Gu Shiyan happened to be feeling a little sleepy, so he kicked Mu Congmo, who was pretending to be dead, and said, "You should go to court."
Mu Congmo could pretend not to hear Hu Xian's urging, but if it were Gu Shiyan, he obviously couldn't do that. He sat up, crossed his legs, and stared at Gu Shiyan with a bit of grievance, looking like a wife abandoned by her husband. "Ayan, are you going to kick me out now?"
Gu Shiyan couldn't help but hold his forehead, "If you don't attend the court, I will be called a demon concubine who brings disaster to the country and the people."
"It's just that those emperors themselves are incompetent, so they put all the blame on those women." Mu Congmo's eyebrows were like swords, and his tone was a little sarcastic, but the next second, the emperor who was full of majesty just now gently took Gu Shiyan's hand and kissed it devoutly.
His tone was firm yet gentle, "Ayan, I am different from them. I will give you a truly prosperous world."
Gu Shiyan looked at his determined eyes, without any expression on his face, but he was still a little touched in his heart, and he nodded.
The next second, Mu Congmo kissed him between the eyebrows with some reluctance, and then ran towards him happily.
Gu Shiyan stared at his departing back, unconsciously curling up a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then fell asleep tiredly.
Mu Congmo had applied medicine to him before he left. From time to time, he felt a cool sensation on his body, mixed with some swelling and pain. Gu Shiyan slept a little uneasily.
However, the ministers in the court today unexpectedly discovered that His Majesty seemed to be in a much better mood and looked very happy.
