For teacher, for father

As soon as these words came out, not only Ji Hao was shocked, but even Ying Zheng himself was startled. The young man hugged him forcefully, his cheeks burning.

How could he say such a thing?For Mr., he was sincere from the beginning to the end. The two went through the difficulties together, supported each other, and reunited after five full years of separation. Ji Hao's company is a habit that Ying Zheng has almost imperceptibly in his heart. She never thought that one day the person in her arms would leave, let alone what kind of relationship the two of them had.

"..."

The young man was held in Ying Zheng's arms, silent, his fingers were slightly bent, and his expression was not the slightest bit happy. Compared to Ying Zheng's chaotic venting of his emotions, Ji Hao seemed much quieter.

For this young man in his prime, what exactly is he? ——This is a question that Ji Hao has been avoiding all the time these days.

As a teacher? ...

Indeed, since the age of five, Ji Hao has accompanied him to live and study as a teacher, and even taught him little by little what Zhao Ji never told him, even though Ying Zheng has been replaced by a down-and-out prostitute. As the lord of a country, Ying Zheng still has a respect for this Mr. Enlightenment.

But the way the two get along is more intimate and casual than that of ordinary masters and apprentices. They seem to be relatives with the same blood. They are both teachers and fathers. They live together, support and take care of each other. This is what Ying Zheng Ji Hao's entire impression of this little guy when he was a child.

However, with the passage of time, the young man also gradually returned to the country from a homeless proton, set foot on the throne, and gradually grew up to become the Great Qin Emperor. He has not only Ji Hao by his side, but slowly gathered more... There are many talented ministers and capable people to support.

As a king, this is just a small beginning. Yingzheng will have more subjects, will continue to accommodate the harem concubines, spread out the branches and leaves, and will have a woman who is the mother of the world by his side. Time... Who is he to him?

Not a teacher, nor a father, all he can do now... is to stay by the emperor's side, give advice to the best of his ability, make plans for the future of Daqin, and be a small courtier.

He gave up his family and life in modern times and went to the turbulent society in BC. Is it really just to become an ordinary official under Qin Shihuang?

Of course it's more than that——

Ji Hao suppressed all his unwillingness and bitterness, and finally buried this complicated emotion deeply in his heart, choosing to escape temporarily.But today, all his plans were disrupted by the boy's random venting.

The kiss just now, the random words that seemed to be a confession, so what?

……

"Zheng'er, have you ever thought about... what do you want?" The young man tried his best to calm down his chaotic mood, gently pushed the boy away, and calmly met the pair of grievances and puzzles. His dark eyes: "I am your subject, am I not?"

"...So what? This does not prevent Mr. from living in the palace with me."

"..." Ji Hao was helpless and couldn't help sighing. Sure enough, his students hadn't figured out what kind of emotion they had for him. Of course, he hadn't figured it out yet, let alone prepared.

Not only him, Ying Zheng also needs time to think about this question - what kind of relationship do the two of them want?Is it a monarch, a father and son, a friend, or... a lover?

No matter which one of them, Ji Hao hopes that the young man will not be too impulsive to come to a conclusion, and should calm down and think about this issue seriously.

He doesn't resist Ying Zheng's touch and intimacy. This is a fact that young people have discovered a long time ago. It's just that Ji Hao, like Ying Zheng, has gradually changed from getting along with each other naturally at the beginning to flustered and withdrawn, and finally started to get along with him. escape.

While guiding their own students, young people are also gradually guiding themselves:

"But the king and his courtiers are not allowed to speak so intimately, Zheng'er." If he was just a courtier, it was time for him to keep a distance from this handsome emperor.

Ji Hao bent his lips, and slowly sorted out the juvenile's chaotic thoughts. He stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the bridge of the other's tall nose. His movements were intimate and natural. With a smile in his phoenix eyes, he said softly, "Aside from a courtier, what else am I?"

"It's still... it's sir, it's my husband alone."

The boy quickly replied, grabbing the other's slender fingers, and holding them tightly in his own wide palm.

"Oh...but that's not acceptable." Ji Hao unconsciously felt that the reaction of the boy in front of him was extremely cute, and instead of explaining in a hurry, he pointed to the palms of the two with his other finger: "Even if Even students and teachers should not make such an intimate move."

"Why not? If the widow says yes, then yes!"

"The way of respecting the teacher, the gift of respecting the teacher, which student would never let go of the master's hand, Zheng'er has completely forgotten it?"

"... Sir, do you hate this?" The young emperor had no experience in emotional matters, and even now Ying Zheng still couldn't sort out his feelings for the young man in front of him.

He likes his husband to teach him, likes his husband to accompany him, and even more likes to live with him...

This way of getting along with him has been used to him since he was a child.Only now, these feelings began to become complicated and inflated, making him at a loss as to what to do for a moment.

……

"If I hate it, will I still be here? Silly boy." Ji Hao knew that his students still couldn't understand what this increasingly strange emotion was, but such a bewildered emperor left him with nothing to do. The young man nodded, reached out and rubbed the young man's soft hair like before, and concluded: "Zheng'er, sir, I will ask you another question."

"Ten days is the limit—you have to think about it carefully, and then tell me why the husband alienates you, and who is the husband to you."

"..."

Ying Zheng's expression was complicated. This time, he didn't answer in a hurry. He wrapped his hands tightly around Ji Hao's slender palm. It was the first time he saw his husband showing such a serious and helpless look, and he didn't know what to do. Answer Ji Hao's question.

Whether it is a courtier or a teacher, neither is the answer Ji Hao wants, but apart from these two identities, Ying Zheng can't imagine what kind of responsibilities the young man has assumed.

"What if Zheng'er can't think of it?"

The young man approached Ji Hao, staring at him pitifully, hoping that the husband would soften his heart like before and tell him the answer.It's just that this time it seems to be really different——

Ji Hao took out his hand without hesitation, patted the non-existent dust on his body and stood up, completely ignoring the emperor's aggrieved appearance, and said with a smile: "Then the king will allow the minister to retire early and return home. Plant the land, marry a wife and have children, and enjoy family happiness.”

"..."

Leaving the Dazheng Hall surrounded by sandalwood, the young man straightened the official robes that had just been scratched by his own students, feeling peaceful in his heart.

Just now, he not only guided Ying Zheng, but also cleared up his thoughts.

For this young man, he is not simply willing to be an ordinary virtuous official, let alone a master-student relationship, he wants more... the only position beside Ying Zheng in his life.

If his own students could treat him as an ordinary courtier, maybe Ji Hao would also bury this feeling deeply, but now the other party's attitude is ambiguous, and the two have almost made it clear that Ji Hao has always been casual and struggled a lot It was approved...

Ji Hao's face was calm, and he walked slowly over the long season, his long hair was neatly tied up, his figure was tall and his eyes drooped slightly.

He is a man, and so is Ying Zheng...

The young man couldn't help stretching out his hand, and gently touched the cheek that was kissed by the young man just now.Ever since he was a child, he has never felt any resistance to the touch and intimacy of his students. Even now that the relationship between the two has changed little by little, Ji Hao is devoted to Ying Zheng. Full of pampering.

"It turns out that I will also fall in love with a man..."

Muttering these words, he didn't find it painful or difficult to accept. After all, the two of them spent too long together. In this world, except for the current queen mother Zhao Ji, who knows the real Ying Zheng best. I'm afraid Ji Hao should be counted as one of them.

"Master Ji, long time no see, your complexion is getting more and more rosy."

A low and sharp male voice interrupted Ji Hao's thinking from behind, and the young man turned around in surprise, if he didn't guess wrong...

Lai Ai was wearing a dark palace gown, her face was a little pale, and she was saluting Ji Hao with a smile on her face: "I don't know what my lord is saying 'like' just now?"

"It's just some irrelevant words, my lord, why did I see you at this time?" The young man calmly replied, knowing that the man in front of him had already shaved off his beard and eyebrows in order to sneak into the harem. This white and hairless face... ...has already lost the heroic spirit it used to be, and has become feminine and sharp.

The previous Lai Ai was completely obsequious and nodding like an eunuch, which made people feel disgusted.

"A few days ago, I had a minor illness. Prime Minister Lu sympathized with the villain and asked the villain to go back to rest for a few days... Hearing that Lord Ji returned to court, the villain was very happy. I am really ashamed to finally see you today."

Some beautiful official words, but Ji Hao heard a little tricky in them - when "Prime Minister Lu" was mentioned, the cruelty in Lai Ai's eyes was so obvious that even her brows frowned instantly for a moment.

Could it be that the two are starting to disagree now?In other words, Lu Buwei restrained Lao Ai's development in the palace, and was trying every means to keep him away from the center of power.

Ji Hao pondered in his heart, and didn't answer the other party's words quickly. Lai Ai didn't care, so she naturally spoke again: "Because the queen mother and the king are worried about it, when they recover from a minor illness, the villain So I hurried to pay my respects to the king and the queen mother, and happened to meet my lord again."

"It's such a coincidence." The young man smiled and suddenly had a good plan in his heart. After thinking for a while, he pretended to be disappointed and lacked interest. He casually bowed and took a step forward: "My lord, if you It's nothing, so Ji Hao will go back home first."

"Master Ji, what's embarrassing?"

I don't know if it was because she had served the Queen Mother Zhao for five full years. Although Lai Ai hadn't really castrated, she had developed into the femininity and troublesomeness of a villain eunuch, following Ji Hao's way.

"This..." The young man shook his head in embarrassment, and then said easily with a self-deprecating tone: "It's nothing, it's just that the court affairs are busy recently, the king is young, and Prime Minister Lu doesn't like Ji Hao's way of doing things, and always fights with me It’s just a little depressing to fight against each other.”

"Prime Minister Lu's residence is quite deep, and his personality is suspicious and weird. Mr. Ji, don't take it too seriously."

Lai Ai almost gritted her teeth and said these words, her face was stern, and she was anxious to bring down Lu Buwei. Seeing that Ji Hao was so disgusted with this prime minister who covered the sky with one hand, she didn't say anything to hide it at all. He came out: "Recently, even the Queen Mother Zhao has become more and more displeased with this guy. If he does many unrighteous acts, someone will accept him."

Queen Mother Zhao?It seems that Lai Ai often blows some pillow talk to Zhao Ji... As for the biological mother of the current emperor, everyone knows that Lu Buwei did something to offend Zhao Ji back then, but now the empress dowager treats Lai Ai The talented Yi Lin likes it very much, and the person he is looking for is of course Lai Ai's side.

What's more, a little eunuch eunuch can utter wild words like this, and use words like "the city is quite deep, and his personality is suspicious" to Prime Minister Lu. Ji Hao can already preliminarily determine that Lai Ai's forced vacation this time is the result of Lu Buwei's single-handed suppression. Because, these two people should already be on the verge of tearing their faces apart.

Prime Minister Lu was an iron-fisted man with a high position and a stable foundation in the court. If the young Yingzheng is allowed to go head-to-head, there will be no good results-but if the celebrity around the Queen Mother Zhao is allowed to bite Lu Buwei One bite, one bite, will definitely bite off a bloody piece of meat!

In this way, who will benefit in the end?It must be Ying Zheng!
