Your Majesty, he has a backache and brain fever

Noticing Xia Xuhuai's absent-mindedness, Xia Moshi's smile became even brighter. Who would have thought that the Prince Regent, who is usually as stable as Mount Tai, would be uneasy because of himself? Impact.

The corners of Xia Moshi's mouth curled up into a smooth and fluent arc, admiring Xia Xuhuai's calm appearance with great interest, and projected fiery eyes on him, looking back and forth.

Xia Moshi's eyes were too sharp, and he kept putting pressure on him. Even the regent, who had seen a big battle on the battlefield, couldn't bear it. Xia Moshi changed the small bottle held between his fingers from his right hand to his left hand, and then After switching from his left hand to his right hand, he finally retreated.

Today is not a day for meeting in private.

Xia Moshi seemed to have penetrated into his thoughts, he had just raised his sleeves, and before he finished his salute, Xia Moshi said preemptively: "It's getting late, Xu Huai might as well stay in the palace to rest."

While speaking, Xia Moshi had already pressed down Xia Xuhuai's arched hands, and grabbed his wrists. As soon as he finished speaking, he dragged the person in front of him without giving him a chance to escape.

"Since you're all here, what are you going to do so quickly?"

Xia Moshi's fingers clenched between his wrists moved slightly to check his pulse. It was much better than expected, and it seemed that he was in good control.

Although Xia Moshi did it carelessly, and Xia Xuhuai didn't know that Xia Moshi had the ability to use poison and half-baked medical skills, this inadvertent little action still made Xia Xuhuai vigilant, and even had a creepy feeling a feeling of.

Xia Moshi could clearly feel that Xia Xuhuai's body became stiff in an instant. This was probably because Xia Xuhuai practiced martial arts all year round and didn't like being close to others.

Seeing his full bowstring and tense body, like a hedgehog facing a big enemy, Xia Moshi finally felt better, so he opened his hands more and more, and directly laid his hands on Xia Xuhuai's neck I touched it.

"Why are you so nervous, I won't eat you." Xia Moshi gently rubbed the side of his neck, with the word "seriousness" written all over his face, as if he wanted to study how to give Xia Xuhuai a fatal blow. hit.

I thought Xia Xuhuai would be more nervous, but unexpectedly he stood there motionless, his eyes dimmed, and his breathing was disordered, then he slapped Xia Moshi's troubled hands away, and took a big step back.

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself!" She looked like a good daughter-in-law being molested by a bully, but this little daughter-in-law was not gentle, but a hot-tempered and outspoken one.

The anger in Xia Moshi's heart dissipated half again, and he retorted in a long voice: "Self-respect, didn't the regent always know what kind of person I am, self-respect, you are too overestimating my character. It is human nature not to be able to hold it for a while.”

Xia Xuhuai was furious, his lips trembled, and he held back for a long time but couldn't come up with a complete sentence.

Xia Moshi raised his left hand that had been swung down by him, rubbed his right hand on the back of his hand a few times, made a painful expression, presented the "criminal evidence" in front of Xia Xuhuai, and said, "Look, I Your hand has been reddened by you, the next offense is the next one, you can do it, Regent, I really don’t take this emperor seriously.”

The breathing that had been disordered just now recovered immediately after being complained by such a villain like him. After all, he should have been accustomed to Xia Moshi's shameless behavior a long time ago.

So he admitted his mistake honestly: "The minister is guilty."

Xia Moshi waved his hands disapprovingly, and said generously, "Why do you have to be so born between you and me?"

Xia Xuhuai knew that this must be a mistake, so no matter what Xia Moshi said, he answered yes graciously.

Xia Moshi had no choice but to continue singing a one-man show, but the singing was not very cheerful, and then he simply turned into a double hooligan in speech and action, and simply and roughly pushed him down on the bed for resting in the inner room of Xuanming Hall, Then he also covered himself up, and kissed him heavily.

This kiss was not as full of hostility as Xia Xuhuai thought, nor could it be regarded as gentle and petty. It was the kind of intimacy between fierceness and tenderness. Xia Xuhuai was no stranger to this method, but For Xia Moshi, who had just been stimulated and lost control of his emotions for a long time, it was really rare to be able to restrain himself to such an extent.

To this day, Xia Moshi can no longer tell whether he is teasing Xia Xuhuai more or being more sincere, and he does not want to think about it carefully. When did all of this start? different.

He just deepened this intimate contact, just like what he despised before, sinking and forgetting himself with Xia Xuhuai.

The next day, Xia Xuhuai opened his eyes first, glanced at Xia Moshi, then lightly carried his clothes to the back of the screen, changed and quietly left the Xuanming Hall.

Hearing the sound of closing the door from outside, Xia Moshi just got up and put away the bottle that had been left aside last night. He lowered his head, looked at the palm of his hand, and silently mocked himself.

In the early dynasty, when Xia Xuhuai threw out the leaflet describing the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and brought it to the hall to speak, those ministers who had strongly opposed the construction of water conservancy all felt burning pain on their faces.

The thin-skinned ones wanted to bury their heads, ashamed to see others, and the thick-skinned ones complimented Xia Xuhuai and Xia Moshi after the fact, praising the regent's foresight and sagacity in the past, which made him survived now , so as not to be caught off guard.

Xia Xuhuai's ears were almost calloused from this kind of praise with different words and sentences, and the expression on his face was naturally as cold as he wanted.

At this moment, they matched up this young man with the cold-blooded regent who murdered and ransacked his house without blinking an eye. Thinking of the bloody years, some people's faces suddenly became pale, and they fell silent for a while.

But Xia Moshi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, still smiled freely, put down his right hand propped on the corner of his chin, and laid it lazily and casually on the armrest of the dragon chair, serving the people standing below in his spare time. It is obvious that there is a smiling tiger who listens attentively.

Xia Moshi nodded to Eunuch Hou, the chief eunuch in charge, and Hou Feng slowly unfolded the scroll in his hand, and sang it out in a thin voice. The words in this imperial edict can be summed up like this.

"The troubles in the south of the Yangtze River, I and the Regent heard about it, and it is difficult to sleep and eat. Fortunately, the Jiangnan fortifications are coming to an end, and some of them can be put into use. At the same time, we will carry out the aftermath work. In order to show the holy will, Yao Minghe, the former minister of the Ministry of household affairs and today's minister of rites, is specially sent to deal with it. For disaster relief and follow-up matters, Cao Min, the son of Cao Guogong, also went south to practice together."

The two took orders, and all the ministers hurriedly said that Your Majesty and the regent Shengming are really my blessings. At the same time, they were secretly worried, and prayed that this disaster would pass quickly, because the angry regent was really terrible, and they never wanted to do it again. Meet once.

In the twinkling of an eye, it is the end of the year. As the days go by, New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer. During this month, the extraordinary winter floods in the south of the Yangtze River have come to an end, and Shangjing, which is located in the north, has also come to an end. Finally, on the last day of the year, the long-overdue first snow came.

The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve, is also Xia Xuhuai's [-]th birthday.

Many years ago, when the deceased Emperor Qi An was still alive, he liked to hold a big palace banquet on this day, pretending to have fun with all the officials, but since Xia Moshi came to power, he never followed the line of being close to the people , and because of his biological mother, he was very unwilling to distract them on such a special day.

So every New Year's Eve, he chooses to spend it alone.

But this time is different from the past, when he thought that if there were no accidents, this would most likely be the last New Year's Eve that he could spend. Suddenly, he wanted to spend another birthday with Xia Xuhuai again.

When Xia Moshi appeared in the Prince Regent's Mansion, the guards in the mansion almost suspected that there was something wrong with their eyes, and Xia Xuhuai was also quite surprised.

"Your Majesty is here today, what is your business?"

On the way here, Xia Moshi had already thought up his speech, so he replied: "A month ago, you said that you would give me a surprise as a birthday present, but until today, there is no surprise. No, I’ll come to ask for it myself.”

Xia Xuhuai was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he still said calmly on the surface: "Cleaning up the muddy waters in the south of the Yangtze River, and removing those moths from the corpses are the gifts I prepared for Your Majesty."

Xia Moshi had already expected what kind of reaction he would have, so he continued to follow this path: "Oh? It turns out that our regent is so dedicated to the country and the people. It seems that I am narrow-minded."

He pondered for a moment, and said: "You said it was a gift, but I didn't think so. How can a person give another person a gift like this. However, I don't mind taking you to a happy birthday ceremony. Let you know how pleasant and beautiful it is to eat, drink and have fun."

After finishing speaking, like a magic trick, Xia Moshi took out the big and small bags from behind, opened his sleeves and shook them, pouring them all out, sporadically covering the entire table.

On that day, Xia Xuhuai had no choice but to spend another day with Xia Moshi, taking advantage of each other from time to time, Xia Moshi smiled with unprecedented sincerity, and there was a bit of sincere sadness in it.

It's not that Xia Xuhuai didn't feel abnormal, but whenever he wanted to ask something, Xia Moshi seemed to change the topic unintentionally. Gradually, he stopped asking, and only concentrated on savoring the newly prepared food in the kitchen. big dish.

It's the same for both of them, pick up a chopsticks dish, drink a sip of green tea, and listen to some nonsense to pass the time.In this way, the time to light the lamp soon passed.

It wasn't until Xia Moshi got up to say goodbye, and whispered a happy birthday to Xia Xuhuai, that he realized that the so-called visiting to ask for gifts and taking him to kill time were all excuses.

He just wanted to spend a simple birthday with him, putting aside all distracting thoughts.

Looking at his back, Xia Xuhuai thought to himself, this little white-eyed wolf has a conscience after all.

Goose feathers and snowflakes fluttered all day long, half a foot of snow had already accumulated on the ground, and the light of the moon was still clear, illuminating the pristine white ground clearly.

Under the moonlit night, a thin figure walked slowly, out of the half-old gate of the Prince Regent's Mansion, walked towards the palace alone, without looking back, waved his sleeves at the empty back, and whispered He murmured, "It's the last year."

Back in his bedroom, Xia Moshi stiffened his body, wrapped in a thick cloak, stood in front of the window all night, kept his eyes open for a whole year, and stayed up until the dawn appeared in the sky. Sleepy, so I went back to bed and spent the first day of the new year in my sleep.
