After Yueyao was posthumously named queen, Emperor Jianping issued a new edict, clarifying Xia Yan's true origin, and married Cheng Xi, the eldest son of the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and the eldest son of Prime Minister You.

So far, Empress Yueyao gave birth to the fourth prince Xia Yan, and the fourth prince Xia Yan gave birth to the emperor's grandson Cheng Tong, which was officially recorded in the genealogy of the Daqi royal family.

In the hot summer afternoon, Emperor Jianping and Xia Yan sat side by side on the cool couch in the Xing'an Hall of the emperor's residence. Between the two of them, Xiao Tong'er was wearing a golden jersey with open crotch trousers, with his buttocks pouted, lying on his back surrounded by his grandfather and father. , The plush head with pigtails can already be lifted up once and for all, and every time it is lifted up to the point of joy, the little guy will make a sweet giggle.

"Whether Tong'er looks up or smiles, it's early. It shows that he is smart." Emperor Jianping said.

Xia Yan shook his head happily, and said: "Cheng Xi was like this when he was a child. No matter what he would learn early, he would learn things quickly. Tong'er must be like Cheng Xi!" He touched the top of the child's head lovingly, his tone More exaggerated, "Is it Tong'er?"

Emperor Jianping said helplessly: "I don't know if you admire your husband or belittle yourself."

Xia Yan smiled slightly, thought for a while and said, "I'm not underestimating myself, I'm not bad, but Cheng Xi is even better! And Cheng Xi's temperament is better than mine, steady and cautious, so I hope Tong'er is like him .”

Emperor Jianping said: "It's just a little less cute."

Xia Yan shook his head seriously, "No, Cheng Xi also has his own cuteness, but the emperor can't see it."

"So that's how it is." Emperor Jianping pretended to be enlightened, knowing in his heart that his son loved his husband to the extreme.

There are two small tables next to the couch, one with Emperor Jianping's teacup on it, and a bowl of tonic soup and a bowl of milk on the other.

Emperor Jianping picked up the teacup and raised his hand to signal Xia Yan. Xia Yan held the child in his arms, took the glass cup with milk on the small table with one hand, and at the same time recited plausibly: "Tonger Tonger drinks milk and grows taller." Tall and strong, Daddy will feed you! This is the milk that the emperor specially gave you as a tribute from the Uzi Kingdom, and it is different from what we used to drink!" Putting on a small bib on his chest, he patted his palms lightly, and said again, "Drink it carefully, don't twist it, don't spit it out, and protect the new clothes that Grandpa Huang gave you!"

Xia Yan has a lovely face and a lively disposition. She already liked children, and she learned many ways to take care of babies from her nanny. She uses them in different ways every day, and she conquers Xiao Tong'er and Xiao Fagao in one fell swoop. The two children not only love to be with him Close and listen to him very much.

At this time, Tong'er was leaning softly in his arms, with her pink mouth open, swallowing milk one by one, every time Xia Yan deliberately blinked her eyes and shook her head to laugh, he would grin and squint in response, very cute.

After feeding for a while, Emperor Jianping reminded: "Drink your soup quickly."

Xia Yan reached out to touch the soup cup and said, "It's too hot."

"It's just warm." Emperor Jianping said, "You are weak after giving birth and need tonic. Even in summer, don't be greedy for cold."

"But I have been mending all day long, and I can't stand it."

Xia Yan muttered in a low voice, put down the milk obediently, picked up the soup cup, and began to sip, while raising his eyes to look at Emperor Jianping, and said: "Father, you must also take care of your body, and you must not catch a cold just to refresh yourself."

"I know." Emperor Jianping smiled, and changed the subject, "You and Xiao Cheng Aiqing plan to live in Xiangfu forever?"

Xia Yan was startled, not knowing why Emperor Jianping asked this suddenly, and while patting Tong'er to sleep, he said, "Before, Cheng Xi built a house specially for the newlyweds, because he thought I was Tan Xiang's illegitimate daughter, and thought I'm introverted, and I'm afraid that I'm not used to living with a big family. Now it doesn't matter, I can live anywhere, the Prime Minister's residence is full of people, and Tong'er and Xiaofagao can play together again, so it's good."

"It's just that you are newly married after all, don't you want some time that only belongs to the two of you?"

Xia Yan frowned and thought about the word "newly married", wondering where to start?If you count from Tan Yan, it's been almost five years, and you can't call it a newlywed, but if you count from the time when the identity is restored and the relationship is formally confirmed,...they are not actually married yet.

Well, it's hard to tell.

However, Emperor Jianping's question reminded him of one thing. He was entangled in various things in the past, and now his heart is on Tong'er. It seems that he and Cheng Xi have never had a truly carefree second. human time.

Even... that, it's been a long time.

So, after leaving Xing'an Hall, he handed Tong'er who was asleep in his hand to the nanny, and said mysteriously: "You guys go back first, I still have some things to do in the palace."

The nanny and the attendants obeyed the order and left. Xia Yan rolled her eyes, smiled cleverly, and turned from the inner garden of the palace to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

It was not the first time he went there, but he still lost his way for a while. After walking around a few times in a daze, he finally arrived, thinking to himself that this place was really hard to find.

But the difference is that when he came last time, he stood up on the wall with two benches and took a peek, but this time he entered the main entrance confidently and openly.

The courtyard was very quiet, and the main hall door was closed. He walked over quickly with excitement, and after standing still, he tried to gather his composure, rubbed his cheeks to smooth his complexion, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

There was a sound from the inner room separated by a door, familiar footsteps came, the door opened, and Cheng Xi, who was wearing a tall and straight dark green official uniform, stood in front of him.

Xia Yan raised his head immediately, and Cheng Xi said slightly, "Yan'er? Why are you... You didn't take Tong'er to face the saint?"

"I'll come and see you after the interview." Xia Yan walked in, only to see that the public cases in the hall were empty, and was taken aback, "Why are you alone?"

Cheng Xi said: "They went out on business."

"Oh."

Xia Yan was still ambitious. He walked around the hall, looked at the bookshelves on both sides, looked at the paper and pens on the case, and finally went back to the front of the most spacious case that was beyond other public cases, and touched it. After finishing engraving patterns on it, he touched the back of the chair and said enviously, "Your tables and chairs are different from theirs!"

Cheng Xi smiled and said, "I'm a doctor, and I'm the highest official in this hall. Everyone has to report to me, so it's a little different." After watching with Xia Yan for a while, he asked again, "Do you want tea?"

Xia Yan shook his head and said, "I just drank some soup at my father's place, and I'm not thirsty at all. Just do your own thing, I won't disturb you, I'll just read a book."

Pushing Cheng Xi to sit down in front of the case, Xia Yan searched for it on the bookshelf.The books collected here are all related to the official affairs of the yamen. He took down a thick "Daqi Ritual Code Record", walked to an empty seat and sat down, spread the book, and looked at it upright.

After a while, he supported the table with one hand and supported his chin.

After a while, lay your arms flat and lie down completely.

After a while, the eyes began to fight frequently.

Hey, it's not that he doesn't like reading, but this kind of rules and regulations are really too boring.

Xia Yan hugged the book and fell asleep gently. Cheng Xi, who was writing the official document in front of him, looked up and smiled helplessly and dotingly.

He got up and went to the inner room, opened the closet, took out a spare cloak, and put it on Xia Yan.

Xia Yan immediately made a more comfortable posture, nun her mouth, and then opened it slightly.

Cheng Xi lovingly touched the top of Xia Yan's head, Tong'er was a new student, the two novice fathers worked a lot harder than before in order to take good care of the child, especially Xia Yan, who didn't want his child to always be handed over to others, almost Accompanying him all the time, no wonder he has been nourishing, but he has never seen him grow flesh.

After half an hour, Xia Yan woke up.

He didn't get up immediately, but lay on his stomach with his arms around the screen, blinked his eyes, and quietly looked at Cheng Xi not far away who was serious about his official duties——

The smooth hair hangs down meticulously, without being fluffy or warped; the shoulders are broad and straight, and will not collapse after writing for a long time; Twisted; the paper on the table is also placed upright under the pen, absolutely impossible to askew.

These are things that he and many others may not be able to do in their lifetime, but for Cheng Xi it is already an instinct.

And he has seen this kind of scene countless times, but he never gets bored.

His heart trembled slightly, like a kitten scratching gently. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore. He lifted his cloak, jumped up, and walked over.

"Are you awake?" Cheng Xi raised his eyes and asked.

Xia Yan hummed, walked behind Cheng Xi, paused for a moment, then when Cheng Xi had no expectations and no defenses, leaned over and put his arms around his neck, and boldly stretched out his finger on the collar of his strict official uniform Buckle up.

Cheng Xi's pen tip paused, his body stiffened slightly.

Xia Yan rubbed his cheek against Cheng Xi's neck, smiled softly, and boldly pulled his neckline open a little, and put a finger in.

Cheng Xi pushed aside the half-written official document calmly, and asked with a smile on purpose: "The yamen is an important place, the Fourth Highness is so frivolous and humble, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate?"

Xia Yan shook his head and said, "I'm just a little wrong, but Mr. Cheng is big." He reached out and pointed under Cheng Xi's belt.

"However, what His Highness sees wrong at this moment is far from enough."

Cheng Xi smiled deeply, raised his hand to hold Xia Yan's palm, pulled him to the front with all his strength, and then pushed and pressed, Xia Yan lay horizontally in Cheng Xi's arms.

Cheng Xi supported Xia Yan's shoulder with his right arm, turned the pen with his left hand, put the pen holder against Xia Yan's chin, raised it up and said, "So, does Your Highness feel more clearly?"

Xia Yan stared at Cheng Xi who was hiding dangerous power in his tenderness, his face flushed red, and his breathing gradually became short of breath.

Calculating carefully, from the second prince's rebellion until now, they seem to have never had... that.

At first he was in a hurry, but later it was because he was too old and physically inconvenient. After giving birth, Cheng Xi strictly adhered to the [-]-day period, but he was so focused on Tong'er that he seemed to have forgotten about it.

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed, and now it seems to be true. I have forgotten for a while, and if it is opened again, it will be unstoppable.

Cheng Xi leaned over and kissed Xia Yan heavily. Xia Yan immediately hugged Cheng Xi back tightly, and her feet moved on the ground involuntarily.

After the deep kiss, Cheng Xi drew back a little distance, and said with a deep smile against Xia Yan's ear, "What if someone comes later?"

In his impatience, Xia Yan completely lost his sanity, glanced at the door, and said, "They, they will knock on the door."

"Your Highness is really bold." Cheng Xi touched Xia Yan's red eyelids with his fingertips, pecked his soft earlobes with his lips, and said in a deeper and deeper voice and tone with light force: "But don't worry, I was just teasing you .They went home after going out on business, and no one will come here..."

"...Hmm!" Xia Yan's earlobe felt hot, and he instinctively hooked Cheng Xi.
