I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 108
When the people below were playing Cuju, they were wearing thin shirts. The thin shirts clearly outline their figures. All the guards have good figures with broad shoulders and long legs. Occasionally, they stop to look at the women who are playing Cuju. They cover their mouths as they look at them, their pink faces are thin and red. .
Gu Yuanbai’s eyes were easily attracted by Xue Yuan. It’s not that Gu Yuanbai’s perception of him is very keen, but Xue Yuan is really conspicuous.
He ran very fast, and when he ran, his thin shirt clung to his body, his legs were tight, like a cheetah hiding terrifying explosive power. Jumping up and turning over, his tricks were dazzling. No one in the two teams attracted more attention than him. Gu Yuanbai looked at him for a while, and the first half was over.
Xue Yuan’s face was soaked with sweat, exuding a moist and sexy look. He seemed to be aware of Gu Yuanbai’s gaze, so he raised his head and looked this way.
Gu Yuanbai looked away as if nothing had happened, thinking in his heart, he couldn’t go whoring.
It was impossible for him to sleep with Xue Yuan. Once in this bed, his life would probably be lost.
Whether he died in the palace concubine’s bed or in Xue Yuan’s bed, his reputation was not very good.
His thoughts wandered for a moment, and when he came back the next moment, the people in the field had disappeared. Gu Yuanbai looked around subconsciously, “Where are the people?”
Tian Fusheng couldn’t figure it out: “Your Majesty, who is it?”
A shout came from below the pavilion: “Your Majesty——”
Gu Yuanbai took a step forward, put his hands on the railing of the pavilion, looked down, and saw Xue Yuan’s chest rising and falling, his breathing slightly heavy, holding an oil paper bag, looking up at him with a smile.
Gu Yuanbai couldn’t help but said: “What is that in your hand?”
“Niu’s donkey meat is grilled on fire,” Xue Yuan said. “The donkey meat on fire at Niu’s house is famous for its deliciousness. The meat is braised and the ingredients complement each other. It tastes appetizing and fragrant. Your Majesty. Do you want to take a bite?”
Gu Yuanbai was so greedy by what he said that he asked someone to take the donkey meat over the fire, and only handed it over to him after being inspected by the people around him.
Gu Yuanbai unwrapped the oil-paper bag, lowered his head and took a bite. The satisfying aroma of meat mixed with the crispiness of onion and ginger rang through his lips and teeth. The meat inside could be tasted with the tip of his tongue, and the palm-sized cake was even softer and softer. It’s greasy and has a distinct aroma.
It was so delicious that Gu Yuanbai took one bite and then another.
He was eating donkey meat on the fire in the pavilion. Xue Yuan looked up at him from below, gradually smiling at the corners of his lips and smiling in his eyes.
Xue Yuan never thought that one day, he would feel relieved and happy for someone because he had two more mouthfuls of food.
Halfway through eating the donkey meat, Xue Yuan was called away by Dong Lingwei. Gu Yuanbai looked at his back and took another bite of the meat pie. He didn’t see Tian Fusheng’s expression behind him looking at him, and he was so moved that he almost shed tears.
Xue Yuan really tried his best to allow the Holy One to stay at his home. Even fellow teammate Dong Lingwei found it difficult to keep up with his rhythm. After the second half, it was indeed Xue Yuan who won.
Zhang Xu, the captain of the guard, walked up to Xue Yuan with his head down, his eyes complicated: “Master Xue, the last time I saw you, you actually held the Holy Master in your arms.”
Xue Yuan spoke frankly and took the initiative: “Master Zhang, do you want to tell me what happened in the palace in the past two days?”
The captain of the guard nodded, and no matter how loyal and reliable he was, he couldn’t help but cast suspicious glances at Xue Yuan.
Xue Yuan’s move of holding the Holy Lord in his arms was so natural. The hand on his body and the movement of caressing the Holy Lord made Zhang Xu intuitively feel that it was not simple.
Xue Yuan smiled slightly and glanced at the pavilion, “Master Zhang, don’t think too much. It was because I saw His Majesty smiling weakly and worried about His Majesty that I couldn’t help but become anxious.”
It makes sense. Zhang Xu frowned, still feeling that something was wrong, “But Master Xue…”
Before he finished speaking, Xue Yuan patted him on the shoulder and interrupted: “Master Zhang, I still have something to deal with. Let’s talk about it next time.” After saying that, he rushed towards the pavilion impatiently.
Gu Yuanbai had already boarded the carriage, and Xue Yuan’s announcement came from outside, “Your Majesty, can I go to Xue Mansion together?”
“…” Gu Yuanbai rubbed his forehead, “Come up.”
Xue Yuan got on the carriage, smelled of sweat, and approached the Holy One. He got closer, smelled it, and smiled with satisfaction, “The Holy One’s body is full of the smell of burning donkey meat.”
Gu Yuanbai took a sniff and said, “I only smell the smell of sweat on your body.”
Xue Yuan thought of his delicate nose and immediately stepped back, but he could not go any further. He sighed helplessly and was about to open the door and jump out of the carriage, but Gu Yuanbai started to cough.
Xue Yuan was startled by his cough, and his hands were a little at a loss. He was so panicked that he couldn’t find his head. Gu Yuanbai held his chest and coughed until the corners of his eyes turned red. He managed to calm down and hugged Gu Yuanbai tightly. into his arms and along his back.
“Why are you suddenly coughing? Are you sick? Are you feeling windy?” Xue Yuan was so anxious that he didn’t even know what he was talking about. “Are you cold? Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
Gu Yuanbai couldn’t say a word, and held Xue Yuan’s hand tightly. He wanted to control himself, but he couldn’t. I coughed so much that my lungs couldn’t breathe, my head was dizzy due to lack of oxygen, and my body slowly slowed down because it reached the extreme.
The air at the tip of his nose was mixed with the smell of sweat. Gu Yuanbai grasped the fingertips in his hand absently. Only when he calmed down did he turn his eyes and look to the side.
Xue Yuan held his hand tightly and said hoarsely, “Your Majesty?”
Gu Yuanbai didn’t want to show such a embarrassed side. He turned his head and buried his face in his hair and clothes, not wanting to speak.
If you blow a cold wind, you may cough so much that you can’t even lift your fingers if the cough ends.
There was a faint smell of blood in his throat. Because he was too delicate, he couldn’t bear the continuous coughing, so he coughed up the smell of blood.
You don’t need to look at the imperial doctor Gu Yuanbai to know this. He knows the condition of his body and how weak he is.
He even knew his approximate fate.
Not willing to give in.
He wanted to clench his fingers tightly and pretend to be calm as if nothing had happened, but his heart was so tired that he no longer wanted to pretend and wanted to relax for a brief moment.
Xue Yuan hugged him, leaned down, and said in Gu Yuanbai’s ear: “Gu Yuanbai.”
Gu Yuanbai responded solemnly.
His face was covered by black hair. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad, but it should be sad. He had high aspirations and ambitions, so how could he be happy because of his weak body?
Xue Yuan gently brushed the hair off Gu Yuanbai’s face. Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes, but felt that Xue Yuan’s hands seemed to be shaking. He couldn’t help but opened his eyes again and saw that he felt nothing wrong. Xue Yuan’s hands were really trembling.
“What are you afraid of?” He said in a hoarse voice, “I won’t die in the next few years.”
Xue Yuan quickly squeezed his hand and spoke from between his teeth: “How many years?!”
Gu Yuanbai’s eyes moved and he smiled: “Is it possible that Mr. Xue still wants me to live a long life?”
It’s just that his smile was really forced, and it seemed extremely difficult to raise the corners of his lips. Xue Yuan’s face was cold, his temples bulged, and the veins on his neck stretched out.
By the time the carriage arrived in front of the Xue Mansion, Gu Yuanbai was already well. He straightened his robes, smoothed his hair and crown, and said calmly: “I lay in bed for several months last year and never had enough food to eat. There is no smell of medicine for a moment. You may think that I am weak now, but in my opinion, it has improved a lot. At least the cough like just now can only be counted on four hands since the beginning of winter. come over.”
If the tip of your nose is itchy or your throat is itchy, you will cough. Gu Yuanbai’s constitution seemed to be that once he started coughing, he couldn’t stop coughing.
After finishing speaking, Gu Yuanbai raised his chin towards the carriage door and said, “Go down and help me.”
Xue Yuan jumped out of the carriage with a sullen face and reached out to help Gu Yuanbai down. But after the saint came down, he did not let go. He just said quietly and firmly: “I will find the miracle doctor.”
Gu Yuanbai smiled and said, “I’m looking for it too.”
Give up your life and wait where you are.
No matter how nice Gu Yuanbai said it, he never gave up in private.
He glanced sideways at Xue Yuan and raised his lips. This moment revealed the young man’s impetus and provocation, “Master Xue, let’s see who can find it first.”
This tone of determination that he could survive made Xue Yuan’s tense brain relax for a moment. He let go of Gu Yuanbai’s hand and Feng Qingyun said “hmm” calmly.
Gu Yuanbai will live a long life.
The gods agreed not to rob him.
*
The only male master in the Xue family who can take charge is Xue Yuan.
The two ladies, old and young, sent someone to ask if they wanted to come over to pay their respects, but Gu Yuanbai refused. As for the Second Young Master Xue, long before he knew that the Holy Master was in person, he had shrunk into a quail and hid in the room without daring to say a word.
Gu Yuanbai probably guessed that Xue Yuan would win. The reason why he agreed to the favor that Xue Yuan boldly asked for was because he wanted to know what Xue Yuan wanted to do.
Today is a day off for rest, and the emperor also has a day off. He did not bring any government affairs books, but only a few books that he often read.
Xue Yuan took Gu Yuanbai to the courtyard for a walk. By chance, Gu Yuanbai saw the swing in Xue Yuan’s yard that was not there last time.
There were scraps of wood swept down beside the stone table. Gu Yuanbai glanced at it a few times and asked, “Did you make this swing?”
“Well,” Xue Yuan said bluntly, “The sage is sitting on the swing, and I am sitting on the stone table. I want to carve a little figure for the sage.”
Gu Yuanbai was surprised and actually walked to the swing and sat down, “Did you also make the wooden knife you gave me last time?”
“Of course,” Xue Yuan’s lips curled up, Da Ma Jin Dao sat down, asked the servant to bring the dagger and wood, and played the flower knife in front of Gu Yuanbai unintentionally, saying, “I don’t dare to do anything else.” “But when it comes to playing with knives, I haven’t met anyone who can match me.”
Gu Yuanbai realized something: “I’ve never heard of it.”
Xue Yuan grinned and thought that it would be strange if you had heard of it.
How could Xue Yuan know carpentry? He was not offended by the meticulous painting that Chu Wei once painted for the Holy Emperor. A gentleman could not learn the six arts, but he was good at wielding a sword. Since Chu Wei could paint a picture for the Holy Emperor, he could carve a portrait for the Holy Emperor.
Who is worse than whom?
