The Submissive Emperor

54

As a feudal king who was about to go to the fief, Xiao Chengjun no longer needed to go to the court after he received the imperial approval.

Lou Jing kissed the person who was still asleep, covered him with a quilt, and gently got up and left.

"Shizi, take some breakfast before going to the Yamen." Chang En whispered outside.

"No, there are too many things inside the yamen today, it's too late." Lou Jing was served by Lexian outside, washing, and he was dressed neatly before going to the yamen.

I was a little indulgent last night. It’s time for the Shangyao. The trial will begin in early March. The Yulin Army was transferred to guard the Gongyuan. Today, we began to arrange manpower. Lou Jing, as the General Zuo, can’t be too late.

"Then take some dim sum to eat on the road," Chang En wrapped two warm patties with white cotton cloth. "The prince confessed that the elder son is not allowed to go to the Yamen on an empty stomach."

Lou Jing took it over with a smile, took the meatloaf into his arms, and explained that Chang En don't disturb Xiao Chengjun's sleep, and then went over the wall.

Xiao Chengjun woke up from his sleep, his waist and thighs were very sore and there was some pain there. I didn't use grease in the tub last night, and it was a little hurt. I think Lou Jing applied the cream when he cleaned him. It doesn't matter. I closed my eyes and touched the place next to me, empty still with residual warmth, presumably just leaving.

Opening his eyes and looking at the sky, Xiao Chengjun frowned slightly, rolled over and lay down for a while, waited for the soreness in his waist to disappear before calling Anshun to come in.

After breakfast, Xiao Chengjun brought the rough poplar box, took out the three hundred thousand taels of silver bills, and threw the wooden box into the copper stove and burned it. This money was the first sum of money from the ascetic palace that Lou Jing and Shen Lian brought back last night after drinking. The box was from Shen Lian and should not be seen by anyone.

After arranging the affairs of the mansion, Xiao Chengjun only took Anshun and went to Jingwang Mansion.

It’s spring, and it’s still cold. The earth dragon fire in Jingwang’s Mansion has not stopped, but the charcoal fire is not as vigorous as in winter, so as not to keep people from getting too hot.

Xiao Chengjin's spirit has improved a lot. Reading in front of the study window, there is a peach blossom that will not bloom in the flower scoop on the window sill.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Chengjun looked at his thin brother and couldn't help lowering his voice.

"There is a way in the world, and a saint is no way, no way in the world, no way is a saint." Xiao Chengjin handed the book in his hand to his brother, relaxing himself and leaning on the big welcoming pillow behind him.

This sentence originated from Zhuangzi's "Human World", which means that there is a way in the world, and the saints can achieve something, and the world is innocent, and the saints can only barely survive.

Xiao Chengjun took the book and did not read it, but put it on the table of the Kang, "How did you read "Zhuangzi"?"

"I saw the peach trees blooming in the yard in the morning, and I felt that things are impermanent. Fortunately, I am still alive this year." Xiao Chengjin grabbed a corner of his brother's sleeve and smiled slightly.

There is no way in the world. Xiao Chengjin has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. He had also told his elder brother before that if he was allowed to learn, he would surely become a sage of the past and present. Now that these words of rejoicing for survival are saying that there is no way in the world?
