After being homeless, he was picked up by God and brought home to be his husband.

"I believe that it is indeed feasible to connect the affairs of the Southern Wilderness and the Eastern Frontier. The Eastern Frontier has always had good relations with the West, and the tripartite contact is the icing on the cake."

In the Qingxin Tower, hundreds of officials were meeting. The right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, holding an elephant tablet, was making a speech in the palace. The other courtiers nodded frequently. Yao Zaiyu also took a step forward, raised his robe and knelt down, echoing:

"What the Master Yushi said is indeed true. If the East Frontier and Southern Wilderness form a good relationship, it will also be of great benefit to me, Tianjing."

On the high seat, the chamberlain shook his fan gently, but no one was sitting on the throne. The gauze curtain at the back was hanging down, and someone was listening to the government. He propped his chin and tapped the armrest with his fingers. The ice in the cauldron floated up, and the cold air was extremely cool. He straightened up, pulled back his sleeves, and said slowly:

"In that case, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will start arranging the matter, and we will discuss it after negotiations between the two parties in the East Frontier and Nanhuang."

The right deputy, the censor, felt enlightened and saluted politely:

"I accept your order."

Outside the Wuchen Palace, the maid was sweeping the garden. The summer was hot and the sun was very scorching. The flowers and plants in the garden could not withstand the sun, and they were sunk and dry.

Seeing half of the imperial court at the entrance of the palace entering, the female envoy in charge hurriedly led the palace ladies in the garden to kneel on both sides:

"See Your Highness."

Lan Yu is dressed in a black brocade dress with intricate embroidery on the lapel, long boots with narrow sleeves, and a unicorn jade belt around his waist, which further shows his tall and tall figure, noble appearance, long and narrow phoenix eyes, thin lips like dots of red vermillion, and an undeniably handsome face. .

The female envoy in charge gestured towards the back, indicating for them to disperse, and then stood up to follow. Lan Yu got off the carriage, walked around the garden, and asked again with a tilted head:

"Is your Majesty awake?"

"Return to your Highness, not yet."

The female envoy in charge answered and followed a step behind on the left, starting to lift the curtain. Lan Yu didn't ask any more questions and crossed the threshold into the bedroom.

The soothing incense was burned in the dormitory earlier, but it was extinguished here, but the fragrance still lingered. Eunuch Li happened to come out of the inner room, holding a cup of medicine in his hand. When he saw Lan Yu, he hurriedly walked up to meet him and whispered:

"Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet, but I'm afraid the medicine has expired, so I have to use it twice a day."

Light smoke floated up from the sandalwood stove. Lan Yu understood and took the medicine cup from Eunuch Li's hand. He missed the screen and entered the inner room. Eunuch Li was so happy that he sent the others out, leaving only two maids to guard the door. Waiting for summons.

There was no window in the inner room, and the thin quilt could be vaguely seen in the bed tent. Lan Yu put the tray on the bedside table, then raised the curtain, and pulled back the corner of the quilt with ease, revealing a smooth forehead with messy hair.

The person on the bed seemed to be sleeping soundly, but when he was woken up in the middle of the night, he frowned dissatisfiedly, turned his face sideways and tried to cover his face with the quilt.

Lan Yu laughed, he leaned over, put his cheek against his, and softly coaxed:

"A'tang, you got up and took the medicine. After it cools down, drink the medicine first, okay?"

Chu Yitang was extremely reluctant to drink medicine. He lay motionless and pretended not to hear.

Lan Yu was reluctant, and placed small kisses behind his ears, earlobes, and corners of his lips. The kisses made him itchy. Chu Yitang had no choice but to reveal a pair of sleepy almond eyes from under the quilt, and said in a muffled voice:

"Why do you need to drink medicine together..."

"Drink the medicine before going to sleep, okay?" Lan Yu took the quilt, put his arm around his waist and made him sit upright against the edge of the bed. He took the medicine cup on the bedside, took a spoonful and tested the temperature before sending it to him. On his lips, he coaxed softly, "After you finish drinking, give Ah Tang some lotus seed cake. It won't be bitter after eating it."

Chu Yitang frowned tightly, and stared at the dark concoction with extremely disgusting eyes for a moment, then reluctantly opened his mouth and took the concoction in his mouth.

But the taste was fine, and it was not as unbearable as in the past. Master Shangshen smacked his lips, his eyebrows relaxed, and he drank a second spoonful in a cooperative manner.

The bowl of medicine quickly ran out. Lan Yu wiped his lips with a handkerchief, and probed his forehead with his hand. He still felt residual heat in his tentacles, which made him worried:

"It's still burning, Ah Tang, do you still feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

Chu Yitang didn't feel anything was wrong with him. Apart from being a little sleepy when he woke up, he was in good spirits. He grabbed Lan Yu's hand that was on his forehead, took it and kissed it, and then poured it on him:

"I've often been like this before. It's nothing important. It will be fine tomorrow at most."

Lan Yu pursed his lips, as if he was weighing how to speak. He pushed away the broken hair from Chu Yitang's forehead, touched his eyelids with his fingers, and hesitated for a long time before saying:

"Ah Tang, how about we sleep in separate beds for a few days?"

"...????"

Chu Yitang jumped up from his lap, grabbed Lan Yu's face, glared angrily, spoke threateningly, and said in a deep voice:

"Say it again?"

"It's only been a few days, and you're already tired of sleeping, aren't you??!"

"No, no, Ah Tang, that's not the case!"

Chu Yitang's hands were so strong that Lan Yu's face hurt when he pinched him. He couldn't speak clearly, so he could only puff up his cheeks and explain intermittently with difficulty:

"That's not what I meant, Ah Tang, I'm not tired of it, I swear..."

There is a reason for what happened, and we have to start talking about it yesterday.

It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage, and the separation will be more profound, let alone the reunion of two people after a long absence, so it is inevitable (ahem).

Once the gate was closed, we would hang out in the hall for a whole day. The longest time was when Chu Yitang was taking a bath, so he didn't leave the Wuchen Hall for three full days.

Eunuch Li didn't know whether to be anxious or happy. He walked back and forth outside the palace several times like a headless fly. He was really afraid that the two of them would accidentally scatter Chu Yitang.

Sure enough, Chu Yitang started to have a high fever the next day. He was not in good health and was used to having fevers, so he slept deeply as usual. Fortunately, Lan Yu was a light sleeper and found out when he was tucking him in in the middle of the night. There was chaos, the palace maid and the doctor ran in and out, and candles were lit all night.

When Xi Jin came the next day, Chu Yitang drank the medicine and was coaxed to sleep by Lan Yu. He checked his pulse and his face was gloomy, but because the room was full of maids, it was difficult for him to have an attack, so he stopped his hand and wrote He handed the good prescription to Eunuch Li, then glanced at Lan Yu beside the bed and scolded:

"Come with me."

Lan Yu followed him in shame, his head lowered, and he looked obedient and would not fight back or scold him. Xi Jin didn't know what to say more appropriately. Seeing how angry he was, he couldn't let it out, so he thought about it. After a moment of phrasing, he said earnestly:

"After what happened to you, his health is already very bad. I'm not saying he can't. Then you should let him recuperate for a period of time and recover his health."

"He is unreasonable and doesn't understand. Don't you understand too?"

It was the first time that Xijin was lecturing on this kind of thing, so he was inevitably at a loss for words, so he simply waved his sleeves and walked out. Before leaving, he did not forget to say a harsh word:

"When the time comes, you can do whatever you want, and I won't care!"

But understanding the truth and practicing it are completely different things. That's why Lan Yucai and Chu Yitang proposed sleeping in separate beds. On the one hand, it was also because he really didn't have much confidence in his own self-control.

"A Tang, you also know me, I..." Lan Yu was so ashamed that his earlobes were so red that they were bleeding. He pursed his lips and murmured for a long time but couldn't explain it. His voice was as thin as a gnat, " I’m serious, sometimes it’s hard to control myself, that’s why I want to sleep in a separate bed with you.”

Chu Yitang withdrew his hand and glanced at him suspiciously, trying to find some insincere meaning on his face, but unfortunately failed.

He had a slumped face and a foul look on his face, and said awkwardly: "Then, how long will it take?"

"Wait until Ah Tang recovers his health, okay? Senior Xijin said that you were always sick before and you lost a lot of weight."

Lan Yu touched his eyebrows and stroked his back. His words were full of distress, and he turned his head to kiss his lips. Chu Yitang raised his neck and opened his mouth slightly, breathing intertwined and lingering, and slightly curled his fingertips to dig into his fingers, The medicinal smell also turned into sweetness, lingering between the lips and teeth, and all I could smell was the light medicinal aroma.

After the kiss, the ends of Chu Yitang's eyes were still red. He didn't know whether it was caused by burning or kissing. He wrapped his hair around the ends of Lan Yu's hair and leaned against his shoulder. His almond-shaped eyes were filled with water and mist, and they were not quite clear yet. , the breath is also uneven.

Lan Yu pressed his fingertips against his red lips. The cinnabar moles were as red as ink. He reluctantly kissed his lips again. The lips were wet, and the gaps between kisses were ambiguous and moist.

"Ah Tang, be good, don't wait too long, okay?"

The voice was low and slow, ringing very softly in his ears. Chu Yitang grabbed the embroidery on his shoulder, his eyelashes drooped, and the color on his lips was rich, but he couldn't resist Lan Yu talking to him like this, and unknowingly he was attracted by it again. The leader ran away, so he had no choice but to let out a sigh of relief:

"That can't take too long..."

"I know, Ah Tang."

Lan Yu cupped the crook of his neck and sniffed the cold orchid fragrance on his body greedily. He was very satisfied and promised in a low voice:

"Don't let Ah Tang wait too long, okay?"

********

This year’s summer is extra long, and it’s almost November and it’s not necessarily cool. The insects are chirping so loudly that they won’t stop chirping until midnight.

Xijin took Yuan Qing to Nan Qishan a few days ago. With Lan Yu taking care of the affairs in the court, Yuan Qing finally had a few days of relaxation. Xi Jin was afraid that Chu Yitang would regret it, so he took Yuan Qing back to Nan Qishan overnight. He had lived a happy life, and did not return to Tianjing until Mrs. Yuan's birthday was approaching.

Lan Yu was busy with the Chi Ling clan these past two days and couldn't spare time, so Chu Yitang personally went to Yuan Mansion to congratulate Mrs. Yuan on her birthday, and gave him a generous gift. It was a congratulatory gift from him and Lan Yu. Just express your feelings.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Chu Yitang felt that Xijin was becoming more and more like a mistress of the house. The reception and delivery were all done in a flawless manner. Anyone who saw it would have to give a thumbs up and praise Xijin for being so generous. She deserves to be called the mistress of the Yuan family.

Before leaving, Chu Yitang deliberately dragged Xijin to a secluded place. He looked around, grabbed the confused Xijin and asked him privately:

"How long will it take you to tell Lan Yu that before?"

"Me? What did I say?"

Chu Yitang clicked his tongue, not sure whether Xi Jin was pretending to be stupid, so he had to say more bluntly:

"Just separate beds, how long can we keep sharing the same bed?"

After he mentioned it, Xijin suddenly realized it. He leaned on the wall and laughed so hard:

"It's been a few months, almost half a year, and if I raise you with such meticulous care, I can even save half of my life. This child is so cruel, hahahahahahahaha!!"

Chu Yitang was so embarrassed that he was laughed at. He became angry and punched Xijin in the stomach. Xijin was caught off guard and almost beat him to the point of being unable to breathe. Chu Yitang was too lazy to talk to him anymore and went back angrily holding the hem of his robe.

It was still early to return to the palace, but Lan Yu was not in the palace. Eunuch Li said that he had gone to the Tianqiong Pavilion to discuss matters. Chu Yitang had nothing to do and walked to the lake. He thought of simply boating to the middle of the lake to collect lotus pods to eat. After eating, Lan Yu was almost done. It's time to come back.

Lan Yu didn't go away for too long, and returned in the evening. He searched around the palace, and finally saw a corner of a snow-white sleeve floating leisurely on the water in the green pond on the Jade Bridge.

Chu Yitang picked a lotus leaf and covered it on his face to protect him from the sun. He was taking a nap with his eyes closed when he felt the stern of the boat sink. He raised his lips, folded his hands behind his head, freed up his hand, and hooked his index finger forward with a leisurely posture. His voice was full of weariness:

"come over."

His wrists were held, and Chu Yitang was led to his feet, leaning into Lan Yu's arms. His long legs were bent forward and back, and placed on the bow of the boat. The lotus leaves were taken off, and Lan Yu covered his eyes with his hands for a long time. After he got used to the light, he slowly moved away.

"Did you have fun today, Ah Tang?"

The sunlight in the evening is not dazzling, it has a very soft halo. The edge of the blue lake is the setting sun, which is gradually sinking. The light spreads across the vast lake surface, showing sparkling light and shadows as delicate as fish scales. Lotus leaves are close together. Come together, occasionally a few lotus flowers pass through the green leaves, charming and shy.

Chu Yitang bit into the peeled lotus seeds that Lan Yu handed over and chewed them. They were fresh and sweet. He wrapped his fingers around Lan Yu's belt and played with them, saying:

"It's okay, there are quite a lot of people anyway."

He was still thinking about that matter and thought about it several times, but he still couldn't find the right time.

Lan Yu peeled off the skin of the lotus seeds and put the peeled lotus seeds into a snow-white porcelain bowl. He always thought about the object he found in Chu Yitang's closet today. He also asked Eunuch Li where the thing came from. Eunuch Li He smiled and did not answer directly. He only said that it would be better for him to ask His Majesty himself for such a matter.

Unable to hide the matter in his heart, Lan Yu lowered his head and his face was very close to Chu Yitang. He pinched the tips of his fingers and couldn't help but ask:

"Ah Tang, why are there children's clothes in your closet?"

Those pieces of clothing were also accidentally discovered by him today. They were only a little bigger than a palm, and at first glance they were prepared for infants.

He held the two pieces, one blue and one pink, and frowned. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why Chu Yitang had this in his wardrobe.

Chu Yitang made a move, chewed the lotus seeds, and slowly looked away, feeling a little embarrassed. When Lan Yu saw the door, he caressed his cheek with his knuckles and kissed his ear gently:

"What is it, Ah Tang, please tell me?"

Chu Yitang wrung his fingers and swallowed the lotus seeds. His jade earlobes were floating red. He did not look at Lan Yu. After a long time, he said slowly:

"He told me at that time that I had a child."

Lan Yu: “…………”

"what?"

He suspected that he had heard wrongly, so he got closer to him and asked again patiently:

"What did Ah Tang say?"

Chu Yitang looked embarrassed and annoyed. He bit his lip, exhaled slowly, and then repeated:

"Xijin told me at that time that I had a baby in my belly."

Lan Yu was now convinced that he had heard correctly. He was stunned and spent some time digesting this sentence, but Chu Yitang was not the type to make such boring jokes, let alone use such things to tease him.

"Is it true or false?"

Chu Yitang pushed him, twisted a lotus seed and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it and saying:

"Of course it's fake. He just said he was here to lie to me. He just wanted to give me something to look forward to."

After being denied, all the possibilities that he had imagined in his mind came to nothing, and Lan Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that something had happened to Chu Yitang during his absence, but he still felt faintly disappointed in his heart.

"Then, does Ah Tang believe it?"

"I half believed and half didn't believe it, but I couldn't figure it out myself. He swore to me that he had it, so I believed it. Now that I think about it, I was really confused at the time, to be fooled by his words like this! "

Lan Yu curled his lips and smiled brightly and gently. He held Chu Yitang's waist, asked him to sit on his lap, and asked:

"Then what if there really is a child?"

Chu Yitang was so angry that he wanted to strangle Xijin when he thought of the lies he had made up. He just answered Lan Yu's questions.

"Then give birth. What else can we do? In fact, I had doubts at the time because the time was not right. After all, we didn't go there during the time after Yuehua Mountain..."

After careful consideration, Chu Yitang changed his mind midway because Lan Yu was thin-skinned, and then said: "...I've never done that before, so I'm still a little doubtful."

Lan Yu smiled sullenly, feeling that Chu Yitang was really adorable. She rubbed the back of his neck with her lips and said hoarsely:

"A Tang, why do we have a baby, idiot."

Speaking of this, Chu Yitang became even more angry. He was so angry that he slapped the side of the boat with his palm. The wooden boat couldn't bear the blow and was shaken by the slap, causing ripples in circles.

"Yes!! But Xi Jin said that, and he promised several times that it was true. He said you are a phoenix bird and can lay eggs. He said that there is one in my belly now, and he asked me to wait for two more Yue showed her pregnancy, which made me so angry. Just thinking about it makes me angry."

Lan Yu really couldn't hold it back now. He laughed so much that tears rolled down his face. He held Chu Yitang's face and gently licked his lips. There was an unspeakable sourness in his heart. It was hard to express it in words. He could only put it in his hands. The hug was so tight that I didn't want to let go for a moment.

Chu Yitang circled the back of his neck, stretched out his fingers, slightly parted Lan Yu's lips, and asked seriously:

"Lanyu, can you really lay eggs?"

"Probably not," Lan Yu thought about it and smiled again. He bit Chu Yitang's lips and said vaguely: "If A Tang wants it, I can try hard."

"...Lanyu, you are shameless."

Lan Yu was busy kissing him, and said "hmm" in his mouth, which was regarded as acknowledgment. He nuzzled Chu Yitang's lower lip again and again, his eyes were tender as water, and his fingers were slightly cold, and they interlocked with his ten fingers.

"A Tang, let's go out and play, okay?"

Chu Yitang twisted his neck to look at him, then turned over, holding his shoulders with his hands, rubbing the tip of his nose, and said enthusiastically: "Where are you going?"

"Let's all go, Ah Tang. You can go anywhere. It's all over the world. There are still many places I haven't been to."

Chu Yitang agreed and kissed him hard on the face:

"Then let's go back to Yuehua Mountain. The old man is thinking about you and always asks me when I will take you back."

Lan Yu hugged his waist, raised her face and let him kiss her, her eyebrows curved.

"Okay, I will accompany you wherever Ah Tang wants to go."

In the future, we will meet in other places in the human world.

No more is in sight.
