After rebirth, the leader only wants to be with the shadow guard

When Ying Shiyi woke up, he looked at the unfamiliar bed curtains. The dark blue brocade curtains had a picture of distant mountains and were embroidered with intricate patterns of auspicious beasts. He didn't quite know what day it was.

It took him a long time to realize that he was no longer in Canglan Palace, but in his mansion in the capital.

Looking sideways at Lou Jingyu's sleeping face, she couldn't help but slowly smile and carefully pulled the quilt towards Lou Jingyu.

He glanced at the sky outside. The sun was setting, so it might be past 3 p.m.

After gently fiddling with Lou Jingyu's hair scattered on the bed, and looking at Lou Jingyu for a while with his chin propped up on the bed, Ying Shiyi wanted to quietly get out of bed from the inside.

He noticed that Lou Jingyu didn't have a good appetite at noon and didn't eat much, so he wanted to ask the kitchen to prepare some light and delicious meals tonight.

Just as he stepped over Lou Jingyu's legs and sat on the edge of the bed to put on his boots, he was grabbed by the waist and fell onto Lou Jingyu's chest.

"Master, why are you awake? Was it because I made too much noise?" He felt a little guilty as he said this. He should have known better and would not have gotten out of bed.

Lou Jingyu was still a little confused. He only stopped the man when he heard Ying Shiyi's movement, wanting him to rest for a while.

Hearing him say this, I shook my head and said, "No, I just woke up too."

My throat was still a little hoarse when I woke up, so I pinched Ying Shiyi's slender knuckles.

"What's wrong? Want to go out?" he asked.

Ying eleven nodded.

Lou Jingyu also half stood up, leaned against the head of the bed and hugged him to calm him down for a while before letting him go.

"What are you going to do?"

Ying Shiyi listened to his heartbeat and said, "Go out and move around. Master, you should rest for a while."

Lou Jingyu shook his head. Of course he wanted to accompany him.

He has always been energetic, so this long sleep is enough for him.

"Then go shopping first, I'll change my clothes and come find you."

Since there was no plan to go out today, Lou Jingyu wanted to change into casual clothes and also take count of their clothes.

The weather is getting colder day by day. The capital is located in the north and the climate is different from that in Danqi Mountain. If what you bring is not enough, you will need to buy some more.

Lou Jingyu felt that the servants were not doing a satisfactory job, so he decided to check Eleven's food, clothing, housing and transportation himself before he felt at ease. It would probably take some time, so he left Eleven alone.

Ying Shiyi nodded, took the Chixiao Sword and walked out of the room.

There is a servant outside the door to lead the way, so there is no need to worry about not finding the place.

He first went to the hall and told the housekeeper to make today's dinner lighter and prepare a bowl of shredded chicken and vegetable porridge.

The housekeeper nodded in agreement, not daring to disobey his master's orders, and immediately went to the kitchen to give orders.

Ying Shiyi looked at the front yard from the hall.

There are relief paintings, carved beams and painted buildings, and red-painted corridors and columns. The servants who come and go are busy but very well-behaved. They don't look around and are very quiet.

The patio of the mansion is very spacious, and through the patio you can see the scenery outside the wide-open gate.

Ying Shiyi was sitting in the hall, making a pot of tea and waiting for Lou Jingyu to come out and drink it together. When he raised his eyes, he saw Ying Qi and Ying Ba coming in from the gate.

Both of them were wearing the black uniforms of the shadow guards, looking very neat.

They were also a little surprised to see Ying Shiyi.

Ying Shiyi was on a mission outside before, and later the two of them received the mission and came to the capital, which happened to be a staggered time, so they haven't seen each other for more than half a year.

Knowing that Ying Shiyi wasn't much of a talkative person, Ying Qi took the initiative to say hello.

After being colleagues for many years and standing shoulder to shoulder like comrades-in-arms, he is still called Ying Eleven.

Previously, Lou Jingyu instructed in the sect that there was no need to change the name, otherwise Ying Shiyi's personality might not be able to adapt to it, and that the name could be changed after they get married.

Now Duan Chunhui would only call him "Master" when he wanted to tease him occasionally.

Lou Jingyu thought too thoroughly, and everyone thought that she was indeed someone the master cared for.

But everyone knew in their hearts that the title was not important. No matter what he was called, Ying Eleven was the undisputed master of their Chiyang Sect.

After not seeing each other for a long time, they exchanged a few words of greeting and soon Lou Jingyu came over.

Ying Qi and Ying Ba immediately half-knelt and saluted.

"master."

"master."

Lou Jingyu raised his hand to ask them to stand up, and took Ying Shiyi to sit in the main seat to listen to their report on monitoring the Ji family's movements over the past few days.

After listening to everything, he nodded slightly. He also knew some of this through correspondence within the church.

Now, listening to their more detailed reports, he couldn't help but sneer.

The Ji family is really good at seeking their own destruction.

Old Master Ji has already retired behind the scenes. The current head of the Ji family, Ji Zhongli, is not as smart as the half-buried Old Master Ji.

Loyalty and courtesy?

The name does not match the person.

After listening to it, he asked the two to go back and rest, and called Lian Jue to discuss some things. After that, they all accompanied Ying Shiyi to drink tea and play chess.

The two of them had dinner together in the waterside pavilion. The food was much lighter than lunch, and the shredded chicken and vegetable porridge was soft and delicious.

Lou Jingyu raised his eyebrows when he saw the porridge, looked up and saw Ying Shiyi's expectant eyes, took a sip, nodded and said, "It tastes good."

Ying Shiyi smiled with the corners of her mouth curved, as sweet as a glutinous rice ball.

Lou Jingyu knew that this porridge was specially ordered for him by Ying Shiyi.

Although Eleven doesn't talk much, she is very thoughtful, especially towards him.

His Eleven is not like other people who would talk about what they did, but he always does things silently and protects him silently.

Lou Jingyu leaned over, held the back of his smooth neck, and kissed the corner of his mouth.

He smiled gently and said, "Thank you, Eleven."

Ying Shiyi shook his head. This was all he wanted to do, so there was no need for his master to thank him.

He now understood why his master always told him not to say thank you. He and Lou Jingyu had the same idea. They both felt that it was natural to pay for each other and did not want to hear the words of thanks.

But he was not good at speaking, so he could only quote what Lou Jingyu had said before.

"Master, you once said that saying thank you is not as good as saying love."

Lou Jingyu smiled slowly, and his smile grew bigger and bigger. There was tenderness in his phoenix eyes, and he looked very happy.

"Okay, then I love you, An An." He followed suit.

Ying Shiyi lowered his head and smiled until his ears turned red.

The night breeze gently brushed across the boy's eyebrows, recording his smile in the intoxicating breeze of tonight.

This is how the meal went.

After dinner, Lou Jingyu took Ying Shiyi for a walk around the mansion.

Finally, he sat down on the corridor beside the pond and introduced Ying Shiyi: "This house is my private property. It is where I lived when I went to Beijing to study. The people living around here are all important officials of the court and wealthy families. Because the house occupies a larger area and there are only three or two houses on a street, it is relatively quiet and safe."

"I have several other courtyards and cottages in the capital. I'll take you to see them someday. There are also manors in the suburbs."

"I can't remember exactly how many there are, or maybe a dozen or dozens?"

"Li Jin is the one who manages the business. He brings the account books to the Chiyang Sect for reporting every year. He is a smart and capable person, and he is also quite honest."

"Li Jin is the steward Li who came to the city gate to greet us into the mansion today. Do you remember him, Eleven?"

Ying Shiyi sat on Lou Jingyu's lap and nodded.
