Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

Jiang Xin slept very soundly, surrounded by a warm atmosphere, as if there was always someone by his side, tightly enclosing him in an absolutely safe little world.

However, his biological clock has always been punctual. Although his new residence makes him feel safe, his daily living habits still make him wake up early at a certain time.

Unfortunately, Xie Ze, who has always had a chaotic lifestyle and has been working hard every day, is not so self-disciplined.

After finally bringing his beloved to his side, the virtuous prince, who had stayed up half the night watching her sleep, was relieved. He had originally thought about not scaring her and going back to her room before Ashin woke up, but as expected, he overslept...

Jiang Xin was dazed for only a blink of an eye before he was so startled by the sudden appearance of a living person in front of him that he lost all desire to sleep.

This, this scene seems a little familiar. It seems that this is not the first time that His Highness has suddenly climbed onto the bedside...

Jiang Xin swallowed and suppressed his heart that was about to jump out of fright. He comforted himself that his highness might just have too much energy at night, so he wanted to chat with him but saw that he was asleep so he didn't wake him up. His highness is still that super considerate highness, huh!

Jiang Xin barely convinced himself and just wanted to relax, but he found that his prince was sleeping very uneasily, perhaps because of his posture.

Xie Ze's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was even a hint of unspeakable panic on his face, as if he was having a nightmare that made him extremely uncomfortable.

The hands hanging by his side were also moving restlessly, groping around the bedside as if trying to grab something, and he kept muttering, "Ah Xin, Ah Xin..."

Jiang Xin heard Xie Ze's mumbling, was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously responded softly: "Your Highness, I, I am..."

"Ah Xin, Ah Xin!" Xie Ze grabbed Jiang Xin's wrist, his eyes suddenly opened, and the hostility in his body made Jiang Xin, who was facing it, frightened.

What did His Highness dream about? Why did he call his name with such a panicked and desperate look?

"Your Majesty!" There was a hurried knock on the door. It was Ah Fu's voice, "Are you okay?"

Ah Fu, who had a good sleep last night, was now guarding outside the door. When he heard the sound, he immediately ran to Jiang Xin's house to ask.

Ever since the prince brought Young Master Jiang to the palace for the first time, not only did he go crazy every night to see Young Master Jiang, but he was also always awakened by nightmares in the morning, and he would throw a tantrum when he woke up.

Sometimes he seemed like a madman, asking people for a small wooden horse, and sometimes he seemed to be possessed, shouting Master Jiang's name.

If Ah Fu had not seen Jiang Xin in person and had gotten to know Jiang Xin to a certain extent after spending so many days together, he would have suspected whether this man was using some kind of medical technique to control his prince.

Therefore, these days, Ah Fu would wait outside the door early every day, waiting for his master to fall ill and then go in to comfort him, repeating the familiar dialogue: There is no Trojan horse at home, and Young Master Jiang is doing well in the Jiang Mansion.

I thought that now that Young Master Jiang has moved into the mansion, his master would not be as anxious as usual, so he was a little lazy this morning. Who would have thought that his master's insanity is still not fully recovered.

But judging from the noise, at least he wasn't searching the room like crazy, which meant that Master Jiang's medicine was quite effective.

Xie Ze felt the warmth coming from his palm, and looking at the intact person in front of him, he finally woke up from the nightmare of his previous life, and replied hoarsely to the outside of the door: "It's okay."

After saying that, Xie Ze forced himself to put away his anger and pretended to be calm as he said to Jiang Xin: "I just had a dream. Didn't it scare you?"

Jiang Xin shook his head. Rather than being frightened, he felt more distressed, and also... doubtful and confused.

His Highness said that he was looking after me because of his friendship with my grandfather, but until now, except for the first day when he took the initiative to bring it up, His Highness has never mentioned a single word about my grandfather's family.

If my grandfather and uncle really cared about me, they would at least write to His Highness and ask about my situation, but His Highness never mentioned it...

Jiang Xin was not stupid, he actually had a premonition in his heart a long time ago that the so-called entrustment by his grandfather was just an excuse made up by His Highness, and the reason for this excuse was to justify being nice to him.

But, it was clear that he and His Highness had no connection at all...

Jiang Xin felt that his prince had many secrets and pains in his heart, and these secrets and pains were all related to him.

He is a companion, and His Highness is the master. A companion should not ask about the master's affairs, nor should he pry into the master's secrets, but...

He didn't know why, maybe it was because His Highness was so good to him that he didn't know when he started to get too far. He wanted to understand His Highness's heart, he wanted to touch His Highness's secrets, he wanted...

I hope His Highness will no longer have nightmares and no longer have such sad and frightened eyes...

As a study partner, he is becoming more and more undisciplined.

Jiang Xin pursed his lips, hiding his thoughts, looked up at Xie Ze, tried to put on a smile, and said with gestures: "Your Highness, please take a rest. I, I'll leave." [Your Highness, please take a rest for a while. I'll get up first.]

Climbing on the bed and having nightmares, his Highness must not have slept well last night and needs to sleep a little longer. This is what a caring study partner should consider.

However, Jiang Xin wanted to climb over Xie Ze and get out of bed. Just as he took a step, his wrist was tightly grasped by Xie Ze. Then, Xie Ze's restrained and suppressed voice came to his ear: "Where are you going?"

"Uh..." Jiang Xin subconsciously looked at Xie Ze, and saw that he was staring at him intently, as if he would be held captive if he dared to say that he wanted to leave. He hurriedly explained: "To, to the toilet!"

Xie Ze dreamed again that his Ah Xin was lying in his arms covered in blood. When he woke up, although he knew it was a dream, he saw that the person dear to his heart wanted to leave him, so he grabbed the person without thinking, and the anger in his heart could not stop bubbling out, until he heard Jiang Xin's response, his rationality returned a little.

But he only retreated a little, and still did not let go of the hand he was holding.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Xin was really a little anxious!

Xie Ze quickly stood up, grabbed Jiang Xin's hand and said expressionlessly: "Together."

Jiang Xin: “…”

Ah Fu outside the door: "..." Although I don't know what happened, the final result is that their prince and Mr. Jiang went to the toilet hand in hand...

The good news is that the prince regained his consciousness very quickly this time.

The bad news is that the prince's method of pursuing people is to force them to go to the toilet together. This...

Ah Fu looked up at the sky, shook his head and sighed.

*

Everyone in the palace was gradually adapting to life with a new master, and the Jiang family was not idle either.

The nanny sent by the palace to teach Jiang Daiyu etiquette arrived the next day. I heard that she was chosen by Concubine Lan herself, so Fu Xuerong naturally had to welcome her well and sent two maids to serve her.

Before handing Jiang Daiyu over to the other party, Fu Xuerong gave her many instructions, fearing that her daughter would say something wrong again:

"I heard that Nanny Liu is a favorite of Imperial Concubine Lan. You should control your temper and be more respectful to her. If she can say a few good words to the Imperial Concubine, you will have a good life when you go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Do you hear me?"

Jiang Daiyu knew this, but she was still unwilling to accept it. She couldn't help but whisper, "No matter how good my life is, I'm still a concubine. No matter how nice it sounds, I'm still a concubine."

"You must not say this in front of Madam and the Imperial Concubine!" Fu Xuerong frowned and tapped her daughter's head, then said in a lower voice:

"Even if she's a concubine, it depends on whose concubine she is! Just remember, even if she's a concubine, your children will have the same opportunities as the main wife's children in the future!

Look at Concubine Lan. She is also a concubine, and the Fourth Prince is also born to a concubine. But they are so glorious that even the Queen has to show them some courtesy.

As long as you win the favor and preference of the Fourth Prince, you can be on an equal footing with the Queen."

Jiang Daiyu's heart moved when he heard this, and he finally felt relieved. Then he pulled Fu Xuerong's arm and acted coquettishly: "Mother is right. As long as His Highness loves me, what can the Queen do to me?"

As he spoke, Jiang Daiyu snorted coldly as if he had thought of something: "Jiang Xin, that loser, is useless even if he brings the virtuous prince to the Wei residence. The Fourth Prince simply looks down on them! In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves!"

Fu Xuerong sighed, obviously thinking the same thing, and rubbed Jiang Daiyu's hair lovingly: "Mother has already asked your father for permission, and will add a few more antique calligraphy and paintings to your dowry, so as to give you more confidence."

Jiang Daiyu sighed when he heard this: "Your Highness's principal wife is the legitimate daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. How can the calligraphy and paintings collected by my father compare to her family's?"

Fu Xuerong did not say that these were all from Jiang Xin's mother's dowry, and they were all treasures of the general's family, not much worse than the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. The fewer people who knew about this, the less likely it would leak out.

However, she didn't say anything, but her daughter had a tacit understanding with her. She almost immediately set her sights on Jiang Xin and said to Fu Xuerong with a coquettish look on her face: "Mother, do you still remember the set of glass cups that the virtuous king gave to Jiang Xin at the Wei Mansion that day?"

Fu Xuerong was stunned when she heard this, then frowned: "What do you mean..."

"I heard from the eldest son of the Wei Mansion that the glass cup is extremely precious. They bought it by chance from an overseas merchant. Even the Yongning Marquis' Mansion certainly doesn't have such a rare treasure. It would be great if I could add it to my dowry." Jiang Daiyu said it bluntly, as if he had already regarded the glass cup as his own property.

"..." Although Fu Xuerong had been coveting the colored glass cup for a long time, she was still a little worried: "After all, the colored glass cup was given by the virtuous king. If the virtuous king knew about it, it would be a disaster."

"Oh my god! So what if he knows?" Jiang Daiyu stamped his feet and said unhappily, "If he gave the things to Jiang Xin, then they belong to Jiang Xin.

As a brother, Jiang Xin shouldn't show some appreciation for his sister's marriage? Besides the set of colored glaze lamps, does he have anything else that he can give me? "

Hearing her daughter's words, Fu Xuerong felt guilty thinking of the extra two boxes of dowry, and said awkwardly: "I think this is still inappropriate. The virtuous king is not an easy person to deal with. If Jiang Xin is unwilling to give it to you, and then he makes a scene in front of the prince, he will definitely not let us go."

"mother!"

"Alright!" Fu Xuerong interrupted her daughter and said helplessly, "Don't mention this anymore. Your marriage is the most important thing right now, and there must be no mistakes.

Come with me to see Madam Liu first. We can’t keep you waiting for too long.”

"...I understand." Seeing that his mother couldn't be persuaded, Jiang Daiyu had to stop talking for the time being, but he became more and more unwilling to give up in his heart.

Anyway, Jiang Xin has moved to the Jiang Mansion now, and from what the wise king said, he will probably stay there for a while. If he doesn't come back before her wedding next month, she can put the glass cup in her dowry without asking for permission first.

By then, even if Jiang Xin discovered that something was missing, it was already a done deal. Would he still make a scene at his own wedding?

If she waited until she married the Fourth Prince to find out, she would be even less afraid. She would then say that Jiang Xin gave it to her on his own initiative as a dowry. She didn't believe that the virtuous king would go to the prince's mansion for a glass lamp. That would be too embarrassing!

Jiang Xin had no idea what Jiang Daiyu was planning in private.

While Jiang Daiyu was busy learning the rules of the palace, he was also working tirelessly in the workshop to produce those 3,000 pieces of glassware.

Although His Highness said that the Fourth Prince will be getting married soon and everyone in the Wei Mansion is helping to arrange it, the glass products probably won't be available so soon.

After all, the Fourth Prince’s wedding cannot be overshadowed by other things. Even if the Wei Mansion’s colored glaze is produced, it has to be made after the wedding.

But Jiang Xin was still worried, thinking that his highness had entrusted such an important matter to him, and he must not make the slightest mistake!

Originally, the Wei family had taken out the colored glaze just now, and they might have already started production. He was already one step behind others, so he couldn't afford to be passive and waste time.

Just like that, even though he had clearly abducted the girl into the palace, Xie Ze found that the time he spent with Ah Xin every day was actually getting less and less!

It's all the Wei family's fault for taking this thing out to attract Ah Xin's attention! Feeling ignored, Xie Ze once again vented his anger with a clear conscience, as if he had completely forgotten who had allowed his little study partner to study freely and take full responsibility just because he saw that he was happy.

Seeing how dazzling Ah Xin was when he was concentrating on his studies, and how happy he was when he was doing what he loved, no matter how dissatisfied Xie Ze was, he had to hold it back in his heart.

Fortunately, he still found something to do.

In his previous life, Jiang Xin had never had a person like Xu's mother by his side until his death. How could Xie Ze, who had a strong desire for control, allow such a person of unknown identity to stay with him, A Xin? He sent people to investigate the day he heard about this person, and now, the investigators have finally returned.
