The corner of Xia Xuhuai's mouth twitched into a slight smile, and when he stepped out of the hall, his brows and eyes were as stern as ever, and Xia Moshi in the hall was still holding two small things to look at.

Puzzled, puzzled, although he hadn't figured out why, he threw the suspected toffee-like thing in his palm into his mouth, licked it with the tip of his tongue, and savored it carefully.Needless to say, although its appearance is a little sorry for the people, the taste is really good, a bit like the feeling in my childhood memory, and it also has a little sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.

Thinking about it this way, the enjoyment of taste buds seemed to have stimulated his memory nerves, and a scene popped up suddenly, it was the night before New Year's Eve, the time when he went berserk after the palace banquet.

Xia Moshi staggered, waved his sleeves nonchalantly, and said in a daze, "I'm not drunk, who said I was drunk, even if I was really drunk, it was because of your smell " As he said that, Xia Moshi got a little closer, and sniffed Xia Xuhuai's neck vigorously like a police dog, looking like a pervert, "I want to eat toffee, sweet-scented osmanthus." Then he said After finishing, he completely passed out. As for where he fell, he didn't know.

So, because he said he wanted candy, Xia Xuhuai specially gave him these two pieces of candy?Xia Moshi, who had tasted the sweetness as he wished, was in a slightly better mood, and his already gentle and affectionate peach blossom eyes looked even more smiling.

In the next ten days and a half months, according to Xia Xu Huai's auspicious words, big and small things were piled up and reported one after another. Some were the backlog of official affairs during the Chinese New Year, and some were specific matters related to the Northern Expedition.Soon, the memorials in the imperial study were piled up like a hill, and Xia Xuhuai and Xia Moshi had to read them together day and night to barely keep up with the speed of stacking.

For ten days, Xia Moshi came to the imperial study quietly to report, and processed the paperwork that Xia Xuhuai had assigned to him. Of course, with his current limited ability to write with a soft pen, it is okay to write and read. Two simple sentences are okay, but if you encounter something more complicated, you will have more than enough energy. In order not to hurt your eyes, most of them ask His Royal Highness the Regent to write it. The result of peaceful discussions between people.

After getting along day and night for the past few days, Xia Moshi and Xia Xuhuai seem to have found a new way of getting along with each other. There is a plate of warm refreshments on the table, and when they are hungry or greedy, they will grab a piece, and feel bored when they are idle. Just chat a few words casually, even though Xia Moshi is talking most of the time, Xia Xuhuai is listening, even Xia Moshi himself doubts whether he is listening or not.

But it's this kind of working mode, even if it's just sitting relatively quietly for a day, there's no restraint or other uncomfortable feelings, coming and going, even before Xia Moshi himself realized it, the kind of awe he had for Xia Xuhuai at the beginning was gone. Unknowingly, he became indifferent, and sometimes, he couldn't help but want to care about him more.

During this time, Xia Xuhuai went out early in the morning every day, and went straight to the Imperial Study Room after going to court, and even settled for three meals a day here, and at night when the dew was heavier, he would bathe in the clear light of the cold moon alone, wait Going back against the cold wind, his tall and straight back is as firm as a mountain, completely opposite to Xia Moshi's appearance of huddling into a ball like a small shrimp.

Xia Moshi expressed his sincere admiration for him not being afraid of the cold, but also worried that under the heavy pressure day after day and the severe cold and snow, this graceful and tall jade tree would be blown down.

On this day, there was another snowfall, and Xia Moshi suggested: "It's too lonely here, why not move to the study in the side hall of my palace, where it's warmer, how about it? It's too late Live in the palace."

But on Xia Xuhuai's face, there was no expression of gratitude to him for his thoughtfulness. On the contrary, his face was even more ugly, and the hand holding the pen paused unnaturally, stopping in mid-air. It was about to drip, Xia Moshi quickly reached out his hand to block it, caught it with the palm of his hand, held down Xia Xuhuai's hand, and put the pen back on the pen holder with the strength of his hand.

"The reaction doesn't need to be so big. I won't do anything to you. There are no female relatives in the palace, so there is no need to avoid suspicion."

And theoretically speaking, he can place Gu Yan in the palace. Although it is a cold palace, he almost regards this as his back garden. There is no reason why he should be so scared to live here.Besides, Xia Moshi even felt that there was probably nothing in this world that could scare this master.

Xia Xuhuai remained silent, Xia Moshi continued to babble: "Don't you think it's too cold here? What if I'm sick?"

"You care very much, am I sick or not?" There was something strange in Xia Xuhuai's voice, Xia Moshi thought to himself, maybe he was frozen.

"Yes, these nine cold days are the most susceptible to wind and cold. As the pillar of the country, the regent should take care of his health." Xia Moshi turned his head and sneezed loudly, and blew with a juan Snot, "It's true that I'm afraid of the cold, but the proposal I just made was really for your sake."

Xia Xuhuai's back was stiff, and he stared blankly at the red spot on Xia Moshi's palm. He withdrew his hand, clenched it into a fist and hid it in his wide sleeve: "This minister is not thinking carefully. Your Majesty should go back to the palace to rest first." Let's go." With his hands stretched out again, he began to tidy up the desk, explaining, "I don't mean to prevent you from participating in politics, but your health is important, and it's really cold here, you were ill just a few years ago, so take good care of yourself."

Xia Moshi didn't understand why he was so prejudiced against his Chen Yingdian, and he didn't understand why he would rather work in this place that was colder than the cold palace.

However, Xia Moshi still relied on his sharp tongue and shameless persistence to persuade Xia Xuhuai so much that he had no choice but to agree to move this pile of paper mountains and books to Chen Ying Hall. In the small study of the hall.

Xia Moshi, who finally returned to his territory, was like a rabbit who had been having fun all the time. His main performance was that he talked more obviously. Xia Xuhuai's brows frowned and loosened, loosened and wrinkled again, feeling like a circus was installed in his mind. Only the voice kind.

He pinched the center of his brows lightly, and after a moment of relief, it seemed that he finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to suppress Xia Moshi. However, just being stared at by his sharp eyes, Xia Moshi became quiet, like a machine that was unloaded. The engine lost the motor, and continued to sit quietly obediently.

Xia Moshi, who had been sweating a lot all morning, suspected that he might be a little hypoglycemic, and his head was a little groggy, so he crawled back to his bed after lunch, intending to catch up on sleep and regain his blood.

Before falling asleep, he still told Hou Feng: "Take some people to clean out the Shangyang Palace next door, and prepare daily utensils such as bedding, brazier and stove. It depends on the weather. There may be heavy snow at night. For the time being, let the regent be in Stay in the palace to avoid the pain of traveling back and forth."

The palace people took orders and went to work quickly, Xia Moshi also fell into a deep sleep.After Xia Xuhuai conscientiously reviewed today's official documents, Xia Moshi still disappeared, and Xia Xuhuai didn't care. Anyway, it doesn't make much difference if he is there or not, but he suddenly feels a lot more peaceful.

He straightened his back, mentioned Xia Moshi's specially made Yeming palace lanterns that are not afraid of wind and snow, and walked out. Eunuch Hou walked over with small steps and invited people to Shangyang Palace: "Your Majesty said, the road is slippery in snowy days, and the road is cold in cold weather." Frozen, worried that the regent would catch the cold, so he ordered the old slave to pack up the Shangyang Palace, and asked the regent to move to the Shangyang Palace, and we will temporarily stay in the palace today."

Xia Xuhuai gave Eunuch Hou a strange look, is this really what that person would say?

"I need to trouble him, but there is no need. The Prince Regent's Mansion is not very far away, but it only takes two quarters of an hour. Besides, this king can't even stand the cold." Back then, it was even colder and more cold. Didn't he survive the difficult days? Now, what is it?

"Of course this is not worthy of His Majesty's attention, but it is more or less His Majesty's wish. This old slave can see His Majesty's concern for His Majesty, otherwise he would not have repeatedly told me to arrange for the Regent to stay overnight." In the palace."

"Where is he, I will go to him personally and tell him that I have solemnly written his kindness, so that's all right."

"This..." Hou Feng was a little embarrassed, "This old servant has been in Shangyang Palace since he took orders in the afternoon, and has not seen His Majesty. At this moment, he should be reading the newly acquired travel notes."

Xia Xuhuai led the way with a lantern and walked out of the side hall to the main entrance of Chenying Hall. After opening the door, the room was dark and there was no light. Xia Xuhuai was about to close the door and go out when he heard a small whisper: " It's cold."

Xia Xuhuai turned around and scolded: "He is afraid of the cold, how can there be no charcoal fire in the bedroom."

After finishing speaking, I realized that something was wrong. There were clearly four braziers burning here, one in each of the four corners of the southeast, north, and west. He still felt a little hot standing here, and it didn’t have anything to do with the word cold. Could it be that he was sick?

Xia Xuhuai stepped forward and probed his forehead. The cold air from the wind and snow made him shiver again, and he flinched under the quilt again, but Xia Xuhuai felt that his forehead was higher than ordinary people's. The temperature was scalding - it was obviously a fever.

Xia Xuhuai immediately spoke, and asked Hou Feng to grab the imperial doctor who stayed behind in the imperial hospital. Xia Xuhuai stood aside like a sculpture, releasing low air pressure, and watched them rushing to diagnose his pulse, open his After nearly an hour of busy work on formulating prescriptions, making medicine and feeding medicine, the situation stabilized, and the imperial physician who had been frightened into a cold sweat all his life in the winter was finally released.

The soft light of the luminous pearl in the lamp shone on his face, illuminating the room. Xia Xuhuai stared at his peaceful sleeping expression, and was used to his noisy, but it was rare to see such a quiet and obedient side with two flowers on his cheeks. The flush from the burn looks good.

Looking at the night outside, Xia Xuhuai handed the palace lantern in his hand to Eunuch Hou: "It's getting late, so I will live up to his kindness. I leave this lantern to you so that you can take good care of him. I'll come back tomorrow morning." Look at him, if it doesn't get better by then, oh, it should get better."

Xia Xuhuai went out under the moonlight, and Hou Feng's eyes turned between him and Xia Moshi and the lamp in his hand at the moment, muttering to himself: "This is the regent, make peace with His Majesty." gone?"
