The next day, Lou Jingyu did not get up early as usual. He slept for a while longer. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the sky outside was gloomy.

When I stretched my hand out from under the quilt, I felt the cold air.

It was much warmer inside the hall than outside, but still much less warm than inside the quilt. Fortunately, Lou Jingyu had strong internal strength and was not shivered by the cold.

Ying Shiyi was still sleeping in his arms. Lou Jingyu touched his face, which was warm and soft.

Lou Jingyu started to smile as he touched it.

"Um……"

Ying Shiyi seemed to be somewhat awakened by the noise and looked at him with half-closed eyes in a daze.

"It's already November, we need to light the charcoal fire now, okay?" Lou Jingyu whispered in his ear.

Hearing his voice, Ying Shiyi's mind became a little clearer.

Danqi Mountain is located much further south than the capital, and it is wetter and colder in winter, not as dry as the capital. Burning charcoal for heating can just neutralize the damp and cold air in the air.

Moreover, they have returned to Canglan Palace. The inner room is much more spacious than the bedroom in the mansion in the capital, so it will not feel stuffy.

"Yeah." Ying Shiyi thought hard and nodded.

Young people are full of energy and did not feel tired even after traveling for half a month on the way back. It was just that the quilt was too warm and they felt a little lazy.

"Sleep a little longer?" Lou Jingyu asked him after instructing the maid to light the charcoal fire.

Ying Shiyi shook his head. He had woken up much later than usual and had gone to bed early last night, so he couldn't fall asleep now.

He rested his head quietly on Lou Jingyu's arm, looking at the familiar navy blue bed curtains above his head, and finally felt a sense of reality that he had returned to Islam.

"Do you want anything to eat in the morning? Ask the kitchen to prepare it first."

Lou Jingyu played with Ying Shiyi's hand, from the base to the fingertips, gently stroking his palm, as if he was stroking a piece of precious jade, and was reluctant to let go.

"I want to drink millet porridge." Ying Shiyi stood up slightly and said while lying on his chest.

"Okay, then I'll get up and talk to the kitchen. Can you lie down for a while and rest more?" Lou Jingyu smoothed his messy hair before getting up.

Ying eleven nodded and curled up in the quilt like a submissive kitten, watching Lou Jingyu push aside the curtain and get out of bed.

As soon as Lou Jingyu left, Ying Shiyi's sleepy look disappeared. He got up energetically, took out the books he had secretly hidden in the cabinet after he came back yesterday, and also took out the book that Ying Jiu had given him before.

Comparing the two, they are indeed very different.

After all, one is a book and the other is a small picture book.

The book from the palace that Shen Ziyu gave him seemed to be mostly about teaching general knowledge, while the one that Ying Jiu gave him was more about eroticism and romance.

Ying Shiyi flipped two pages and nodded from time to time.

I see……

Can it still be like this...

I learned some weird things...

He didn't read it for long. After flipping through a few pages, he put the two books back into the innermost part of the cabinet. He patted his red face and waited until he recovered before getting out of bed.

After washing and changing clothes, Ying Shiyi still felt a little guilty. He pushed aside the curtain and stuck his head out. He saw his concubine Lou Jingyu sitting at the dining table reading a book and the maid was serving the food.

"What are you looking at? Come here, it's time for dinner." Lou Jingyu noticed his gaze, put down the book, turned around and smiled at him.

"Here he comes." Ying Shiyi felt relieved. He was reading the book secretly, so no one would notice him, not even A Yu would know.

nothing!

There was Ying Shiyi's millet porridge on the dining table. The golden rice grains were emitting a hot aroma. Ying Shiyi was full after eating the porridge and a bun.

Lou Jingyu didn't force him to eat more, since lunch was still an hour away anyway.

He also used some of it himself.

After breakfast, Mingyue came to ask what to do with the things she had brought back and found on the floor of the hall.

"Eleven, what do you think?" Lou Jingyu asked for his opinion.

Mingyue then looked at Ying Shiyi again: "Master?"

"It's okay, I'll do it."

Ying Shiyi followed her and squatted to look at these things. He had originally planned to clean them up himself.

He first put away the things that Lou Jingyu had bought for him in the capital one by one. He treasured them very much and did not ask anyone else to help him. He ran around the palace by himself.

"The Nine-Rings and Huarong Dao that we play with should be placed in the box in the inner hall..."

"The calligraphy and paintings that Ayu bought need to be hung up..."

"Books should be placed in the bookcase for easy reading..."

"Small items need to be displayed. Should I put a few in the study as well?"

Ying Shiyi was putting things away while mumbling to himself.

It's really cute.

Although he is such a cold and aloof person, and he never smiles in front of outsiders, Lou Jingyu's heart is always softened by his little actions, and he watches him walking back and forth in the hall with gentle eyes.

Lou Jingyu was not idle either, helping him to put the birthday gifts he received in Beijing into order, standing them up and placing them where they should be placed. Also, all the local specialties, snacks, and dried meat had to be sent to the kitchen.

He directed the maid to start packing, and soon they had almost everything packed up. He left the rest for Eleven to pack up.

Those were the gifts that Ying Shiyi brought back to give to others, so Lou Jingyu did not move.

After a while, when Ying Shiyi finished his work, Lou Jingyu held him in his arms and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The window paper in Canglan Palace has been replaced with special winter paper, which is thick and windproof. A charcoal basin is also lit inside the room, making it quite warm. Ying Shiyi is busy wearing winter clothes, so it must be hot.

"I want to share the food and the things I bought with Mingyue and Yingjiu and the others." Yingshiyi said to him.

Lou Jingyu wiped his sweat and put down his handkerchief, "Okay, it's up to you, as long as you are happy."

Ying Shiyi smiled at him. The boy's smile was lively and bright. Lou Jingyu couldn't help but lean over and kiss the corner of his mouth.

He had official business to attend to and couldn't go with her, so he asked Mingyue to take the things and go with him to the dark chamber.

"It's windy outside, so please wear a cloak when you are outside. Go in and out slowly and don't be in a hurry. If you want to chat with them in the secret room, just stay for a while and don't rush back, okay?" Lou Jingyu instructed.

"Okay, Ayu, you should also keep warm."

When Ying Shiyi walked out of Canglan Palace, the cold wind blew in his face and tried to get into his collar, but luckily he was wearing a thick collar, so the cold wind didn't get in.

He looked up and saw that Mount Danqi was no longer as green in winter.

Many of the trees have lost their leaves, and the remaining leaves have turned yellow. The branches have become bare, and without the contrast of green leaves and flowers, they appear a dim, dark brown color.

But the distant mountains are still green, just darker in color.

The green mountains are silent and as quiet as usual, but they always stand there, accepting the gazes and thoughts of everyone who looks at it.

Days like this in the mountains are ordinary days.

Ying Shiyi thought, people only know how to pursue the beauty of spring, but always ignore that winter also has its own unique artistic conception.

When he comes back, he will tell Ayu about this.
