No, Xia Xi shook his head secretly, it wasn't the other party who was taking care of the disobedient puppy, it should be the disobedient puppy who was taking care of him.

The two personal attendants were waved back by Jiang Zhanwei, and went out with their heads down respectfully. Among them, the younger attendant couldn't help but sneak a glance at Xia Xi when the door was closed, and his admiration for Xia Xi suddenly became as strong as a The surging river.

Because if a different person faced the current scene, he would definitely feel terrified and restless. At least the young attendant felt that if he was sleeping with a serious face on his face, he would not close his eyes, no It's good to be scared to pee, but Xia Xi's face was calm, and he didn't show any anxiety except doubts.

In fact, Xia Xi even pretended to be puzzled, "It's so late, isn't the prince going back to rest?"

"I'm not sleepy yet."

"But I'm sleepy."

"Well, you sleep yours."

"..."

Jiang Zhanwei just finished half a page of the book, and glanced at Xia Xi, and saw the young man sitting with his knees hugged, his bright eyes flickering, as if he was a little frustrated by his cold attitude just now.Jiang Zhanwei's heart tightened, but when Xia Xi looked back, he hurriedly looked away, lest he reveal the worry in his eyes.

Xia Xi lay down in the quilt silently.

Hearing the sound of Xia Xi lying down, Jiang Zhanwei's finger on the page moved subconsciously, and his eyes were a little erratic when reading the book. He originally read half a page of the book and then glanced at Xia Xi, but now he hasn't even finished reading a line. I couldn't help but want to see Xia Xi.

But he still forced himself to read half a page of the book word by word before raising his eyes.

The boy was already lying down under the quilt, in a very regular supine position, his delicate chin was covered by a thin quilt, and his hair was hanging peacefully on both sides, looking childish and docile.Perhaps because he had a fever and felt cold, the boy lifted the quilt up again, covering his mouth and nose, only his eyes were exposed.Because of this, the already beautiful eyes became more conspicuous, round like a cat, indescribably cute to Jiang Zhanwei.

It's even so cute that he doesn't want to read anymore, he just wants to walk in front of him, pull off the quilt covering his face, and pull off the clothes on his body...

Jiang Zhanwei felt unbearable because of his own thoughts, but at the same time he couldn't restrain his desire, his fingers couldn't help tightening, the pages of the book were a little wrinkled, and the words on it were crowded together in a mess, and he couldn't read it at all.

Jiang Zhanwei began to recite the Diamond Sutra silently in his heart.

This is a habit he has developed when he is irritable, and he can calm down after reciting for a while, although it can only suppress the anger, and cannot reduce or disappear the impatience in his heart.

And some feelings, the more suppressed, the stronger the rebound, and the day when they break through, they will easily cause waves.

Jiang Zhanwei and Xia Xi just recite scriptures silently before the case, and the other is wrapped in a quilt into a cocoon on the bed with only a furry head exposed. The scene looks weird, but the atmosphere is surprisingly harmonious.When Jiang Zhanwei regained his composure, Xia Xi seemed to have fallen into a peaceful sleep as well. He kept lying on his back without moving for a long time, breathing lightly and slowly.

So Jiang Zhanwei put down the book and looked at Xia Xi again.The young man looked obedient with his eyes closed, and his slender eyelashes looked longer from the angle where Jiang Zhanwei was sitting. Jiang Zhanwei couldn't help but think of him looking over with his eyes open, his eyes rippling like a lake.

Unexpectedly, Xia Xi opened his eyes and looked over at this moment.

Jiang Zhanwei's gaze, which was too late to look back, collided firmly with Xia Xi's gaze. The cold and paralyzed face remained calm, but panic rose in his heart like a child who had done something bad and was caught.But Xia Xi refused to let him go, and asked directly without any concealment: "Why does the prince keep looking at me?"

Jiang Zhanwei looked away and didn't make a sound.

Xia Xi tilted his head, and continued to ask: "Why doesn't the prince look at me again, am I not good-looking?"

Jiang Zhanwei was annoyed, but still didn't make a sound.

Because nothing is right.

"Does the lord think I'm not good-looking?"

Jiang Zhanwei finally spoke out: "As a man, you should not pay attention to whether you look good or not, but..."

"Why can't men pay attention to their appearance?" Xia Xi said seriously: "The prince's appearance is very good-looking, I like it very much."

Jiang Zhanwei's ears turned red.

But this time the light was not as dark as the previous two times, Xia Xi clearly saw his red ears by candlelight.Xia Xi raised the corners of his lips slightly, lifted the quilt, got up and got out of bed, and walked towards Jiang Zhanwei step by step. Jiang Zhanwei only felt his heart jumping and stopping following Xia Xi's walking steps. When he looked up again, Xia Xi had already arrived to him.

"Your nose is beautiful, and your mouth is also beautiful," Xia Xi said, moving closer to Jiang Zhanwei, "and eyebrows and eyes..." When he said this, he raised his hand to touch Jiang Zhanwei's brow bone, but did not touch it. , only caressing the places less than an inch apart, and this seemingly invisible touching is even more provocative, "I like them all."

The distance was too close, and a dangerous alarm sounded in Jiang Zhanwei's mind, but the young man looked at him unconsciously, his eyes were full of sincerity, his pupils clearly reflected his figure, and his beautifully curved lips were only a few feet away from him .

This is a temptation that no one can resist, and Xia Xi's evocation of that title made Jiang Zhanwei's heart tremble.

"A Zhan," Xia Xi moved the hand that was caressing Jiang Zhanwei's browbones to his lips, "I think you are good-looking, so I want to see you, and you must also think that I am good-looking, so you look at me, right?"

Jiang Zhanwei pursed his lips tightly and did not speak. Xia Xi, who did not get a response, withdrew his hand in disappointment, but was grabbed by Jiang Zhanwei at this moment.Jiang Zhanwei's actions looked a little fierce, and his tone seemed a little fierce: "Since you want to see me, why do you want to leave?"

Xia Xi blinked innocently, "You don't like me, how can I stay here to annoy you?"

Without thinking about it, Jiang Zhanwei blurted out: "I've never been bored with you."

"Do you like me?"

The previous sentence was said too quickly, and Jiang Zhanwei felt a little regretful, so this sentence was silent again.Xia Xi raised his eyebrows, "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence."

Then, without waiting for Jiang Zhanwei to refute, he continued: "I know that you don't just like me, but you love me, but I'm too embarrassed to say that my whole heart is occupied by me, and you will feel uneasy when you don't see me... ..."

Xia Xi deliberately used that kind of joking tone, and his expression was a little smug, but that smug look was not annoying at all, on the contrary, it made people's hearts feel crisp and itchy.

Jiang Zhanwei knew that he should interrupt him, deny him, and tell him not to push forward, but he never did.Jiang Zhanwei has never been bound by anyone or anything, and has a plan for everything, but now, he seems to be helpless and helpless with the people in front of him.

The beauty of a joke is that it can be stopped at any time, or it can be boastful.After Xia Xi finished speaking, he smiled at Jiang Zhanwei, his face was full of bright beauty and freshness: "Am I right?"

Jiang Zhanwei didn't answer, but took a deep breath.After a while, he said without thinking: "You should be aware of the current political situation."

"……what?"

"The emperor has been emptied a long time ago. Half of the court is my people. Regardless of military power or political power, they are all in my hands."

Xia Xi was still a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"What others give you, I can give you ten times and a hundred times. What others can't give you, I can still give you. So..."

- So don't leave me.

He didn't finish what he said, but Xia Xi understood what he meant.But Xia Xi just wanted to force him to speak clearly, and raised his head to look at him, "So what?"

The bright eyes made Jiang Zhanwei shake his head, and the hand holding Xia Xi loosened unconsciously. Xia Xi simply raised his hand to hold Jiang Zhanwei's shoulder, pressing down on Jiang Zhanwei in a condescending posture, with a tone of voice Temptation, with an indescribable aura, "Tell me——so what?"

In some respects, Xia Xi and Jiang Zhanwei are the same people, they both like others to bow their heads.If you only look at the one-sided side that Xia Xi intentionally showed, you will feel that Huifeng is warm and everything is fine. Only when you go deep into it, you will find how it covers the sky and the sun, and even the person who steps in does not even have a chance to look back. Swept to ashes.

Jiang Zhanwei felt the danger, but he couldn't move, and he couldn't look away. It wasn't until Xia Xi raised his hand to touch his face that he suddenly came back to his senses and pushed Xia Xi's hand away.

Obviously he only pushed his hand without using any force, but Xia Xi bent down while clutching his stomach, curled up like a small shrimp.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhanwei's heart tightened suddenly, "Stomach hurts?"

Thinking that Xia Xi was still sick, Jiang Zhanwei frowned, and without waiting for Xia Xi to answer, he picked him up, strode back to the bed, and then hurriedly stood up, "I'll have someone call the doctor again. "

"No doctor," Xia Xi grabbed Jiang Zhanwei's clothes, and lay on his back like a cat that only wanted to be stroked, and brought his belly to his hand, "Just rub it."

The laziness and cuteness of the young man at the moment made Jiang Zhanwei put his hand on his lower abdomen by accident.The next moment he wanted to withdraw his hand, but the boy was held down, "Knead gently."

Jiang Zhanwei's whole palm and even his whole body tensed up, his heart beat fast and fast, and every inch of blood was hot. Xia Xi could clearly feel the temperature of Jiang Zhanwei's palm, which was astonishingly hot like coals.Although Xia Xi's stomach doesn't hurt, Mu Furong's nature likes warmth and is afraid of cold. It doesn't matter if the weather is hot, but it feels uncomfortable when it is a little colder. Being rubbed by such warm hands feels indescribably comfortable.

He was comfortable, but Jiang Zhanwei was hard to bear.Through the thin clothes, Jiang Zhanwei clearly felt the smooth touch and fair complexion, even his eyes began to burn, and he didn't dare to think or look.He just rubbed his stomach for a while, but it looked like he had fought a tough battle, his forehead was sweating, and his expression looked even colder and more frightening.

But Jiang Zhanwei still insisted on rubbing until Xia Xi seemed to be no longer in pain, before letting go, "Is it better?"

"Well," Xia Xi nodded slightly with her fine and graceful chin, "Thank you, Ah Zhan."

After speaking, he straightened up and kissed Jiang Zhanwei on the face, "This is a thank you gift."

The soft touch sticks to his face, only for a short moment, but it lingers in his heart for a long time. Jiang Zhanwei's expression is still cold, but his heart is pounding like a deer.

The instigator fell asleep with a soft quilt in his arms without knowing it.

But Xia Xi didn't sleep very peacefully, because in his sleep, he faintly felt that someone was holding his hand tightly, like a shackle that was difficult to break free.He wanted to break free, but the opponent's strength increased with his struggling movements.Xia Xi frowned uncomfortably, and the opponent's strength became gentle and cautious again, but it still held him like a shackle and refused to let go.

This feeling of being handcuffed lasted until I was woken up in the morning.

Xia Xi slept late last night, and the medicine he drank made him drowsy, and he was woken up before dawn. His whole head was in a daze, and he didn't want to open his eyes. The familiar voice and breath judged that the person who woke him up was Jiang Zhanwei, so he couldn't help but muttered and asked, "...why did you wake up so early?"

The voice was terribly soft, with a hint of coquettishness. Jiang Zhanwei calmed down after a while, and said calmly as usual: "Go to court."

"Oh." Xia Xi still closed his eyes, and said perfunctorily: "Walk slowly and see you later."

Just about to turn over and continue sleeping on the inside, Jiang Zhanwei pulled him up, "You go with me."

Xia Xi suspected that he was not awake and had auditory hallucinations, and finally opened his eyes, looking at Jiang Zhanwei in confusion, "Where are you going?"

A pair of long eyelashes blinked slowly, and the eyes were covered with water mist because they hadn't woken up yet. The pupils were as dark and full of ink as if they were full of ink. They looked dull, but they were extremely cute.Even Jiang Zhanwei himself didn't realize that when he looked at Xia Xi, the ice in his eyes would melt into water unconsciously.

It's still the short three words: "Go to court."

Jiang Zhanwei's clothes had already been put on, seeing that Xia Xi was still not moving, he helped him put on the clothes himself.But Xia Xi's mind was still in a daze, and he couldn't help being sleepy and closed his eyes again. He didn't think about why Jiang Zhanwei dressed him. hands.

There was a slight light in the sky, and the streets and houses began to emerge little by little in the light. It was not until he followed Jiang Zhanwei into the carriage that Xia Xi finally woke up.

"Why did you take me with you to court?"

"The morning morning will be longer."

For a moment, Xia Xi didn't understand what Jiu Jiu had to do with him, so he couldn't help frowning, "So what about Jiu Jiu?"

Last night, the look of looking after the puppy that loves to run around appeared on Jiang Zhanwei's face again. Jiang Zhanwei pursed his lips and did not answer Xia Xi's question. He only said, "Do you want to eat something first? It will be there soon."

The carriage drove fast and steadily, and the space inside the carriage was large and spacious. On the small table in the middle were tea at a suitable temperature and various delicate snacks.Xia Xi shook his head, and pressed his temple uncomfortably, "I'm not hungry, I just want to sleep."

Jiang Zhanwei looked at Xia Xi's eyes with worry, but his tone still sounded cold, "I can sleep when I get there."

While speaking, she stretched out her hand and stroked his temple lightly, as if rubbing it for him, but withdrew her hand after only a few seconds, as if the touch just now was just Xia Xi's illusion.

Sure enough, as Jiang Zhanwei said, the destination will arrive soon.The carriage ran all the way through the quiet street, the horse's hooves kept beating on the stone slabs, and finally stopped firmly in front of the Duanmen.

As the main entrance of the imperial palace, all those who entered had to dismount from their horses and sedan chairs, and were not allowed to wear weapons. However, Jiang Zhanwei's carriage could drive straight in through layers of guards, and drove into the palace unimpeded all the way.But it did not go to the Qiankun Palace where the early dynasty was located, but bypassed the Qiankun Palace and entered a palace with an elegant layout in the harem.

Jiang Zhanwei directly took Xia Xi to the bedroom in the palace, "Sleep here if you are sleepy," and pointed to the court ladies and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground, "If you have anything to do, just tell them, and I will come to pick you up when I go to court." you."

Xia Xi was indeed still sleepy, so she nodded obediently, and didn't even ask Jiang Zhanwei where he was. Jiang Zhanwei's heart was moved by that look of complete trust, and it was hard for him to hold back the idea of ​​caressing the boy's cheek, and only restrained and gave him carefully. Tucked in the quilt.

In fact, Xia Xi knew where it was, and it was quite familiar. ——This is the Anjing Palace where Jiang Zhanwei lived with his mother and concubine Xu when he was young. Not only did Xia Xi come here, but he was also trapped here by Jiang Zhanwei with talisman paper.

When the Xu family died, there were rumors that the Anjing Palace was unlucky, so no one lived there anymore, and gradually became deserted. Now Jiang Zhanwei has monopolized the power, rebuilt the Anjing Palace with great fanfare, and arranged for the palace people to clean it every day. The rank is comparable to that of the empress dowager. Concubine Liu Gui, who relied on the presence of the prince, once brought people to find fault, but was caught by Jiang Zhanwei and forced to kneel at the gate of Anjing Palace for a day and a night. From then on, no one dared to openly challenge Zhan Wang authority.

The news in the harem was always well-informed, the morning court in the front hall was still discussing matters, and the matter of Jiang Zhanwei bringing people into Anjing Palace had already fallen into the ears of individual concubines.
