When people are at their most proud, they will definitely find someone to show off to. It is best if the person they are showing off to is someone they are familiar with and have a good impression of.
Even after Long Mujiang became the king, he couldn't wait to share it with Xu Tianze, so when he was welcomed by the officials, he didn't say much. He kept everything simple so that he could appear in front of Xu Tianze immediately.
Share his current joy and show off his achievements.
"Aze, I'm back." Long Mujiang pushed open the gate of the Qianqing Palace with a smile on his face.
But when he saw Xu Tianze standing in the yard, he was stunned. Xu Tianze in front of him was wearing a red dress, looking up at the osmanthus tree above his head, just like many years ago.
The osmanthus tree in front of you did not exist at first. As the emperor's bedroom, the Qianqing Palace was naturally based on the emperor's preferences.
It just so happened that none of the previous monarchs of the State of Gan liked osmanthus trees, so when Long Mujiang became the emperor of the State of Gan, there were no osmanthus trees either.
It was just that Long Mujiang thought that Xu Tianze liked it, so before leaving, he personally transplanted an osmanthus tree in the palace.
Now two years have passed, and it has grown into a graceful and elegant flower, blooming with its unique fragrance in this autumn.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the scene in front of him, which is extremely similar to the scene when he first met the young Xu Tianze.
He still remembered that he was invited by Xu Shiping to enter the Xu Mansion. Later, when Xu Shiping heard that something had happened to his brother, he left him behind without any regard for etiquette and ran to Xu Tianze's yard.
Helplessly, he could only follow, and then he saw Xu Tianze in red standing under the osmanthus tree, looking up at the osmanthus flowers above his head, and then he smiled at the person who came when he heard the voice.
"How could you be so easily deceived, brother? I just wanted you to help me pick some osmanthus flowers to make osmanthus paste. Why are you so anxious?"
Since then, Long Mujiang has been convinced that what Xu Tianze really likes is osmanthus, not dandelions drifting in the wind.
When Long Mujiang saw Xu Tianze turned around after hearing the noise, he subconsciously expected Xu Tianze to say something to him with a smile.
But the person turned around, just glanced at him lightly, and then turned back to continue looking at the falling osmanthus flowers.
It was as if he was just an insignificant person. This realization made Long Mujiang feel a little panicked.
"Aze, I, no, I'm back." Don't you miss me?
"Your Highness, I am honored to meet you." Xu Tianze looked at Long Mujiang standing in front of him calmly, and then greeted him indifferently.
"Your Majesty?" Long Mujiang felt a sudden surge of bitterness in his heart, followed by anger. "Since you are His Majesty, why don't you kneel?"
If you want to draw a line in the sand, then really do it. Why are you being so hypocritical here? Do you think that by calling him "Your Majesty", you can pretend that the past never existed?
Long Mujiang kept shouting in his heart, staring at Xu Tianze coldly, waiting for Xu Tianze's choice. He even thought about what he should say and how to show his magnanimity when Xu Tianze gave in to him.
Unfortunately, Xu Tianze's next shout directly shattered his fantasy, and even his face became embarrassed again.
"This humble commoner pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor—"
Xu Tianze knelt down while shouting, and finally kowtowed to the ground, paying homage to the emperor as a commoner.
"Aze, do you really want to do this?"
Long Mujiang's voice was trembling. He was originally very interested, but in the end, his interest was extinguished. Then he saw Xu Tianze still kneeling on the ground without saying a word.
"If you want to kneel, then you should kneel whenever you see me. After all, I am the Son of Heaven."
After Long Mujiang finished speaking, he turned and left. As Long Mujiang left, the gate of the Qianqing Palace closed again.
When Xu Tianze saw that Long Mujiang had really left, he immediately stood up and rolled his eyes impatiently.
This is the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the sleeping palace of the emperors of all dynasties in the Qian Kingdom. This damn guy actually locked him up in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Shouldn't he be kicked out directly?
The emperor, day by day, he must be really crazy to like such a thing. Now that I think about it, I don’t know how blind he was at the time.
"Master, come and have your meal." Xichen walked out from the corner with his usual smile on his face.
"What are you laughing at? You want to show off your face, don't you?" Xu Tianze said a few words to Xichen and went back to his room.
He tacitly agreed to let Xichen continue to serve him because he was also a human being who needed to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. If he died in the palace, he didn't know how Long Mujiang would deal with him in the end.
What's more, he himself is not afraid of poison, so he is not afraid of the meals prepared for him by Xichen at all, and he eats and drinks as usual.
But this does not mean that he has forgiven Xichen. Once it involves close service, he will not let Xichen get close and will handle it himself. After all, he has hands and feet, so he doesn't have to enjoy it that way.
His bloodthirstiness had also disappeared, so naturally he no longer needed to rely on sexual intercourse to suppress it. Without this thought, his intuition became much clearer.
Xu Tianze now looks like a normal person, but the price of becoming such a normal person is too high for Xu Tianze.
If he had a choice, Xu Tianze would rather have that stupid and ignorant boy of his own.
Xichen looked at Xu Tianze's back as he turned around. The smile on his face never changed, but the palms hidden in his sleeves were already embedded with several crescent moons.
