Ji Qingzhou came out of the bath with a blushing face, hurriedly took clean clothes and changed.
Just now, when Li Zhan's palm landed on his lower abdomen, the touch has not dissipated, and that feeling makes Ji Qingzhou very uncomfortable.
It's strange to say, but when you think about it carefully, Li Zhan is not the only person who touched his lower abdomen since he found out he was pregnant.Both Tang Shu and Xiao Shan seem to have touched it more than once. Even Ji Qingzhou felt awkward and embarrassed at the beginning, but the feeling was completely different from that of Li Zhan.
Ji Qingzhou couldn't tell what was different, but he felt that his face was still a little hot at the moment, and he really wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
However, Li Zhan was completely ignorant of his thoughts, and followed him out of the bath.
Li Zhan moved quickly, wrapped his middle coat in threes and fives, and then put his outer robe on Ji Qingzhou.
"My lord?" Ji Qingzhou turned to look at him with a bit of surprise on his face.
Li Zhan said calmly: "It's cold at night, just take a bath and catch a cold carefully."
Ji Qingzhou glanced at the middle coat on Li Zhan's body, and said, "Wouldn't it be easier for the prince to catch cold if he wears so little?"
"It's hot on my body, it's okay." Li Zhan couldn't help but straighten Ji Qingzhou's clothes, then took a clean cloth towel and began to help Ji Qingzhou wipe his hair.
Ji Qingzhou was taken aback by Li Zhan's actions, but Li Zhan was very calm, as if he, a high-ranking regent, wiped a servant's hair with his own hands.
"Let them get a bathtub to bathe in the room when it's cold in the day after tomorrow." Li Zhan said.
"The room is too small, it's inconvenient." Ji Qingzhou said: "Besides, the bathroom is not far away, so it's fine."
Li Zhan paused, and said, "My king's bedroom is quite spacious, so if you can't do it, you can move there."
Ji Qingzhou was so frightened that he almost lost his breath, suspecting that he had heard it wrong!
"What I mean is..." Li Zhan paused for a while and said, "Didn't Doctor Tang say that if you want me to get closer to the child, it will be more convenient for you to move there."
Ji Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words, secretly thinking that Li Zhan really cared about this child.He had enjoyed a lot of fame with this child, not only had Li Zhan brush his hair for him, but was also invited to live in Li Zhan's dormitory.
"Let's live..." Ji Qingzhou said.
"Well, there's no rush." Li Zhan said.
While the two were talking, Xiao Shan came in with a cloak in his hand.
Seeing this, Ji Qingzhou was about to return the robe on his body to Li Zhan, but when he heard that Li Zhan said first, "Go back and prepare some refreshments, the king is a little hungry."
Xiao Shan was very smart, and hurriedly retreated out with the cloak in his hand upon hearing this.
Then Li Zhan looked at Ji Qingzhou and said, "Let's go, I will take you back."
Ji Qingzhou asked: "Isn't the prince finished bathing yet? Do you want them to change a pool of hot water..."
"Let's talk about it later, I will send you back first." Li Zhan said.
Ji Qingzhou nodded when he heard the words, got up and followed Li Zhan out of the bathroom.
It's not even half a stick of incense from the bath room to Ji Qingzhou's residence, but Li Zhan walks very slowly, as if he intends to walk this distance until a stick of incense.
Thinking of Xiaoshan, Ji Qingzhou suddenly remembered something, and said to Li Zhan: "My lord, I have always wanted to ask you something, but I feel a little presumptuous..."
"This king said that you can ask anything you want without hesitation." Li Zhan said.
Ji Qingzhou nodded, and said, "Do you still remember He Man? It was the horseman who was sent to the Punishment Department because of the incident with Xiaoshan."
"My king ordered someone to send him to the other garden. There are horses over there that need someone to take care of them." Li Zhan said.
Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, and was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect that Li Zhan would arrange He Man to another garden.
This means that He Man is not only safe, but also has a definite whereabouts.
Then the possibility of Xiaoshan and the other party meeting again in the future will be much greater!
"Xiaoshan is very appropriate and takes good care of you." Li Zhan seemed to have guessed Ji Qingzhou's thoughts, and said: "After you give birth to the child, if he doesn't want to stay in the palace, let him go to another garden." Bar."
Ji Qingzhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "I thank the prince on behalf of Xiaoshan."
"You care about other people's affairs." Li Zhan turned to look at him and said.
Ji Qingzhou turned her head, looked at Li Zhan briefly in the night, and said, "Isn't the prince the same? He is also very concerned about other people's affairs." Whether it is the affairs of the Ji family, or Xiao Shanhe The matter of He Man and Li Zhan's actions have exceeded Ji Qingzhou's expectations.
"You are not someone else." Li Zhan said suddenly.
Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, and couldn't help but stop.
The two had arrived at Ji Qingzhou's residence at this time, Li Zhan stretched out his hand to help him open the door, and said in a low voice, "have a good rest."
After all, Li Zhan stretched out his hand to shake Ji Qingzhou's arm, then turned and left.
Ji Qingzhou turned around and looked at Li Zhan's back, and couldn't help thinking about Li Zhan's sentence "You are not someone else"...
Somewhere in his heart seemed to be gently touched by these words, and the feeling was very subtle.Ji Qingzhou tried hard to grasp something from this subtlety, but in vain, and finally had to give up temporarily.
The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ji Qingzhou had already asked Li Zhan for leave the first day, and changed into casual clothes in the afternoon, ready to leave the palace and go to Chifu.
Today he wore a lake blue robe and the pair of white short boots that Ji Qinglan made for him. He looked full of youthful air.Xiao Shan found a white jade hairpin and pinned it in Ji Qingzhou's hair, adding a bit of restrained elegance to him.
"Wow, Eunuch Ji is so beautiful in this dress!" The little emperor came here at some point, and when he saw Ji Qingzhou, he rushed over, then took Ji Qingzhou's hand and said to Li Zhan behind him with a smile on his face: "Uncle Huang ,dont you agree?"
"En." Li Zhan had no emotion on his face, and only responded lightly.
But Ji Qingzhou took a quick glance, but caught a faint smile from the other party's eyes.
"The Empress Dowager intends to fast behind closed doors this year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is no palace banquet prepared in the palace." Li Zhan explained to Ji Qingzhou: "There is nothing wrong with the left and right. This king intends to take His Majesty to the Chi Mansion with you for a meal."
Only then did Ji Qingzhou notice that Li Zhan and the little emperor had also changed into casual clothes.
Ji Qingzhou has always known that the Queen Mother eats fast and recites Buddha all day long, not only ignores the affairs in the palace, but also is not close to the little emperor, and only meets him every few days as a routine to ask a few questions about homework.It was also because of this that the little emperor was so close to Li Zhan, the emperor's uncle, because Li Zhan was his closest relative besides the queen mother.
"Eunuch Ji, can you bring me and the emperor?" The little emperor looked up at Ji Qingzhou and asked expectantly.
Ji Qingzhou hurriedly said: "Of course I just feel lonely alone."
The little emperor immediately smiled when he heard the words, took Ji Qingzhou with one hand and Li Zhan with the other, and walked out of the Yinghui Pavilion.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the streets in the capital are very lively.
The three of them sat in the carriage, and the little emperor couldn't help looking out.
Looking at the people outside, Ji Qingzhou suddenly remembered what Li Zhan asked him earlier.Li Zhan asked him, if he had the choice, would he choose to stay in the palace or go to the northwest to find his brother.At that time, Ji Qingzhou didn't think about this question deeply, but when he thinks about it now, he feels that when Li Zhan asked that question, his tone seemed a little lonely.
"My lord..." Ji Qingzhou suddenly asked Li Zhan, "If I choose for you, what kind of life do you want to live in the future?"
Li Zhan was startled when he heard the words, apparently he didn't expect Ji Qingzhou to ask him such a question, and the little emperor beside him also looked at Li Zhan curiously, wanting to hear how he answered.
"I want...to be an idle prince, without having to entangle with courtiers every day...to tease the children in the palace or in the other gardens on the outskirts of Beijing..." Li Zhan couldn't help but smile a little in his eyes as he spoke, and then Said: "Or it's not bad to go to the northwest to see the scenery once in a while."
When Ji Qingzhou heard the word "Northwest", her heart couldn't help but she subconsciously glanced at Li Zhan.
Li Zhan happened to be looking at him too, and the eyes of the two of them separated immediately, and their expressions were a little subtle.
The little emperor hurriedly said: "I want to go too... Uncle Emperor, can you take me with you?"
"That will have to wait until His Majesty grows up and has his own child." Li Zhan said, "In this way, the affairs of the court can be handed over to your future emperor."
The little emperor pursed his lips when he heard the words, feeling that Li Zhan's hypothesis was far away for him.
Although he is young, he knows that people only get married and have children when they grow up. When his children grow up, it will be a year of the monkey!
Before that, if Li Zhan and Ji Qingzhou went to the northwest to see the scenery, wouldn't he be the only one left?
"Then you are all gone, what should I do?" The little emperor said with an unhappy face.
Ji Qingzhou laughed when he heard the words, and just wanted to say that your uncle went to see the scenery, we didn't go together...
But Li Zhan continued: "It's okay, we will come back to see you."
What Li Zhan said was very natural, just like the little emperor acquiesced that they would go together, his words also acquiesced that he would take Ji Qingzhou with him in his future life.Ji Qingzhou didn't think clearly about the deep meaning of these words for a while, but she was sensitively aware that something seemed wrong.
The little emperor didn't think there was anything wrong, heaved a sigh of relief, and reached out to hook Li Zhan's finger.
When everyone arrived at Chizhou's mansion, Chizhou had already sent someone to wait at the door. As soon as the man saw the carriage, he hurried back to report. After a while, Chizhou and Ji Qinglan greeted them.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Chi Zhou obviously didn't expect Li Zhan and the little emperor to come, and was taken aback.
Ji Qinglan was much calmer than him, saluted Li Zhan and the little emperor, and then saluted Ji Qingzhou.
When everyone entered the Chi mansion, Ji Qinglan made tea for them personally, while Chi Zhou ran to the kitchen and ordered some more dishes.When Li Zhan and the little emperor came, there were several more guards who came with them. The food for these people had to be prepared in advance, so that no one would be hungry during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"You drink less tea." Li Zhan stretched out his hand to press Ji Qingzhou's hand holding the tea cup, and said to Ji Qinglan: "Your brother has not slept well these days, the doctor told him to drink less tea."
Ji Qinglan hurriedly said: "Then I'll ask someone to make a cup of lotus seed soup for my brother."
"Sister... I want to drink too." The little emperor said to Ji Qinglan.
Ji Qinglan smiled when she heard the words, and ordered someone to prepare two cups of lotus seed soup.
After a while, the lotus seed soup was served, Ji Qinglan was afraid that the little emperor would be scalded, so she personally fed it to him.
The little emperor usually had few women in the palace. In the past, only the queen mother's younger sister Qiu Lanxi was the closest. Entered the palace.
Now being taken care of so carefully by Ji Qinglan, the little emperor was not used to it immediately.
But Ji Qinglan and Ji Qingzhou have somewhat similar eyebrows and eyes, which made the little emperor feel close to her very quickly.
"Sister, do you know why my uncle likes to come to Chi Shaoqing's house?" the little emperor asked Ji Qinglan.
Ji Qinglan smiled and said: "I am not familiar with the prince, so I don't know how to guess his mind. Then what does your majesty think is the reason?"
The little emperor smiled, leaned into her ear and said, "Because Eunuch Ji likes to come."
Ji Qinglan smiled when she heard the words, and turned to look at Ji Qingzhou and Li Zhan, noncommittal.
"Cong'er..." Li Zhan called the little emperor.
The little emperor quickly restrained his smile and looked at Li Zhan.
Li Zhan asked: "Sir, have you ever taught you that a good minister is far from a villain?"
"Taught." The little emperor hurriedly said: "Chi Shaoqing is a virtuous minister, and the emperor uncle and I should get closer to him."
Li Zhan smiled lightly when he heard the words, and asked again: "How do you think Cong'er should get close?"
The little emperor looked at Ji Qinglan and then at Ji Qingzhou, and said in a low voice, "Come to Chi Shaoqing's house more...for dinner?"
Li Zhan: ...
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Ji Qinglan: ...
After a while, the meal was ready.
Chizhou hurried in to gather people for dinner.
It was rare for the little emperor to eat with so many people, and he was in a particularly good mood, smiling all the time during the meal.
Ji Qinglan sat next to him and kept picking up vegetables for him.
The little emperor ate happily, so he said to Ji Qinglan: "Sister, you look so good-looking."
As soon as his words fell, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Chizhou said: "It seems that His Majesty likes good-looking people, haha."
"Who doesn't like beauties?" The little emperor looked at Chizhou and asked.
When Chizhou was asked such a question, his face turned a little red, he glanced at Ji Qinglan, and gave a guilty laugh twice.
The little emperor looked at Li Zhan again and said, "The emperor also likes beauties, right?"
Li Zhan glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense while eating."
"I'm not talking nonsense, the emperor likes Eunuch Ji." The little emperor hurriedly said, "Eunuch Ji is a beauty."
The little emperor's words came from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't think about anything wrong. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly became delicate.
Chizhou and Ji Qinglan looked at each other with nervous expressions.
Ji Qingzhou was even more embarrassed, looking at the little emperor, then at Li Zhan, and wanted to smooth things over, but didn't know what to say.
The little emperor was very smart, and realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said as soon as he said it.
Just like the emperor's uncle asked him to help keep the secret of "wanting to kiss Eunuch Ji", he realized that the fact that the emperor's uncle likes Eunuch Ji is also a secret, and this kind of secret should not be revealed in front of the person concerned, let alone as a Speaking in front of outsiders.
"Uncle Emperor..." The little emperor got up and walked over to Li Zhan, leaning on Li Zhan awkwardly.
Although he realized that he had said something wrong, he couldn't think of how to remedy it, so he could only try to ask Li Zhan for help.
Li Zhan laughed lightly, reached out to touch his head, and said, "You can't call Miss Ji your elder sister."
Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, and then realized that he and Ji Qinglan both forgot to correct the title of the little emperor.
After all, the little emperor is the king of a country. Even though Li Zhan has never cared much about these aspects, it is really inappropriate for him to call Ji Qinglan his sister...
"What should it be called?" the little emperor asked.
"I really want to call...you can call me aunt." Li Zhan said.
Ji Qingzhou was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.
However, Ji Qinglan subconsciously looked at Chizhou at each other, and there was a hint of understanding in their eyes, but they didn't say anything.
That night, everyone took their leave after having dinner at Chi Mansion.
The key to the palace gate had already been released at night, although they could enter through the corner gate, Li Zhan didn't intend to go back, and simply planned to take Ji Qingzhou and the little emperor to the palace to stay overnight.
The little emperor was so full that he dozed off. Li Zhan was afraid that he would accumulate food, so he didn't take the carriage, and planned to take him for a stroll back to the palace.
Seeing that the little emperor was not in high spirits all night, Ji Qingzhou knew that he was still upset about what he said wrongly before.
He has been with the little emperor for a long time, and found that the other party looks innocent on weekdays, but actually has a lot of thoughts.Just like tonight, he knew he said something wrong, although he was not blamed by Li Zhan, he kept blaming himself, and he lost the interest to play.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingzhou went to the street and bought him a lantern.
Holding the lantern, the little emperor felt a little better.
"Sleep if you're sleepy, I'll hold you." Li Zhan hugged the little emperor in his arms, and the little emperor obediently hugged Li Zhan's neck. After a while, he really fell asleep, with Ji still tightly in his hand. The lantern that Qingzhou bought for him.
"Are you tired?" Li Zhan turned to Ji Qingzhou and asked, "If you feel tired, go back in a carriage."
Ji Qingzhou knew that Li Zhan wanted to go for a walk, so he said, "I'm not tired, I also ate a little too much, just to digest my food."
Li Zhan smiled when he heard the words, hugged the little emperor and walked side by side with him on the street.
Pedestrians passing by would look at the three of them from time to time, with curious but non-malicious smiles on their faces.
"The night is so nice tonight." Li Zhan said suddenly.
Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou glanced at the night sky subconsciously. The moon hung brightly in the sky, looking like it was painted on.
"I once... had a dream, in which Tou Cong'er grew up, but he was not close to me..." Li Zhan said, with a bit of loneliness in his voice.Ji Qingzhou immediately realized that the dream Li Zhan mentioned was the plot in the original book, which was the last life Li Zhan lived.
"In that dream...the second brother, the fourth brother...everyone left..." Li Zhan said, "I always thought that after waking up, I would probably be so lonely and helpless for the rest of my life."
After Li Zhan finished speaking, he stopped, turned to look at Ji Qingzhou and said, "Thank you."
Li Zhan didn't say anything to thank Ji Qingzhou, but Ji Qingzhou guessed the unfinished meaning in the other party's words.
The appearance of this child is like a gift to Li Zhan.
It gave him a new possibility in his life...
After returning to the palace that night, Li Zhan first settled the little emperor, and then asked someone to fetch a new bedding for Ji Qingzhou, fearing that he would not be able to sleep well if he changed places suddenly.Ji Qingzhou has never been particular about this aspect, and he feels that he is not so expensive, but thinking that Li Zhan is out of caring about the child in his stomach, he readily accepts it.
If a father wants to love his children, he can't forcefully stop him.
Before Li Zhan left, he suddenly remembered something, turned to Ji Qingzhou and said, "I haven't read the scriptures to him today."
Ji Qingzhou glanced at the sleeping little emperor, and said, "It's too late, I'm afraid it will disturb His Majesty."
Li Zhan glanced at the little emperor, and said, "But Doctor Tang said, it's better to get closer to the child every day."
Ji Qingzhou scratched his nose, and said awkwardly: "Why don't you touch him..."
Li Zhan's eyes lit up, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked to Ji Qingzhou's side.
Ji Qingzhou unbuttoned his coat, and Li Zhan reached out to touch his stomach, and said, "It seems to be a little bigger than yesterday."
"It's not there..." Ji Qingzhou moved Li Zhan's hand from his stomach to his lower abdomen, and said, "What the prince just touched was my dinner at night..."
Li Zhan: ...
This child is actually smaller than rice!
That night, after Li Zhan returned to his room, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
The touch on Ji Qingzhou's lower abdomen and the slight curvature there were repeated in his mind.
Until late at night, he still didn't feel sleepy, so he simply asked someone to prepare wine, and sat alone at the stone table in the courtyard to drink alone.Probably because he was in a good mood, he was a little too drunk today, and after a pot of wine, he became a little confused.
Li Zhan is used to restraint and never let himself get drunk, but today is different from before.During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are people around him who want to spend the rest of their lives together, and they also have a child who is about to enter the world...
In addition to the little emperor, the people who accompany Li Zhan tonight are almost his whole world.
After an unknown amount of time, there was no more wine in Li Zhan's jug, and when he was about to get up and go back to his room, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Li Zhan looked back, and saw that the person who came was wearing a lake blue robe, and the outer robe was open, so the white middle coat inside was exposed.
In the moonlight, the green robe and white clothes on the man's body were slightly fluttered by the night wind, making him look like an exiled fairy walking out of a painting.
After the man approached, the faint scent of soap on his body blew over with the breeze, and Li Zhan, who was already a little confused, suddenly became a little more confused.
"My lord?" The young man's voice sounded in Li Zhan's ears, but because of the drunkenness, that voice was extremely unreal to Li Zhan's ears.
Seeing that Li Zhan didn't respond to him, the boy leaned over and took Li Zhan's arm to help him up.
But then, he felt his arms sink, and Li Zhan grabbed him and pulled him into his arms.
The two approached suddenly, and the young man subconsciously reached out and grabbed Li Zhan's skirt to stabilize his figure.
At this moment, Li Zhan's scorching and drunken breath approached suddenly, the young man felt a heat on his lips, and his whole body froze immediately...
It wasn't until the tip of Li Zhan's tongue stuck into the boy's mouth that the boy realized what had happened.
However, the young man was completely frightened by this sudden change, and he grabbed Li Zhan's skirt and stood there blankly, forgetting even to resist.Li Zhan didn't realize what it was until his breath was out of shape, and he let go of him a little.
The two lips parted, and the young man subconsciously licked his thin lips, which were already stained with Li Zhan's alcohol.
The night wind blew, and the boy finally woke up from the shock, turned around and fled into the night...
Just now, when Li Zhan's palm landed on his lower abdomen, the touch has not dissipated, and that feeling makes Ji Qingzhou very uncomfortable.
It's strange to say, but when you think about it carefully, Li Zhan is not the only person who touched his lower abdomen since he found out he was pregnant.Both Tang Shu and Xiao Shan seem to have touched it more than once. Even Ji Qingzhou felt awkward and embarrassed at the beginning, but the feeling was completely different from that of Li Zhan.
Ji Qingzhou couldn't tell what was different, but he felt that his face was still a little hot at the moment, and he really wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
However, Li Zhan was completely ignorant of his thoughts, and followed him out of the bath.
Li Zhan moved quickly, wrapped his middle coat in threes and fives, and then put his outer robe on Ji Qingzhou.
"My lord?" Ji Qingzhou turned to look at him with a bit of surprise on his face.
Li Zhan said calmly: "It's cold at night, just take a bath and catch a cold carefully."
Ji Qingzhou glanced at the middle coat on Li Zhan's body, and said, "Wouldn't it be easier for the prince to catch cold if he wears so little?"
"It's hot on my body, it's okay." Li Zhan couldn't help but straighten Ji Qingzhou's clothes, then took a clean cloth towel and began to help Ji Qingzhou wipe his hair.
Ji Qingzhou was taken aback by Li Zhan's actions, but Li Zhan was very calm, as if he, a high-ranking regent, wiped a servant's hair with his own hands.
"Let them get a bathtub to bathe in the room when it's cold in the day after tomorrow." Li Zhan said.
"The room is too small, it's inconvenient." Ji Qingzhou said: "Besides, the bathroom is not far away, so it's fine."
Li Zhan paused, and said, "My king's bedroom is quite spacious, so if you can't do it, you can move there."
Ji Qingzhou was so frightened that he almost lost his breath, suspecting that he had heard it wrong!
"What I mean is..." Li Zhan paused for a while and said, "Didn't Doctor Tang say that if you want me to get closer to the child, it will be more convenient for you to move there."
Ji Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words, secretly thinking that Li Zhan really cared about this child.He had enjoyed a lot of fame with this child, not only had Li Zhan brush his hair for him, but was also invited to live in Li Zhan's dormitory.
"Let's live..." Ji Qingzhou said.
"Well, there's no rush." Li Zhan said.
While the two were talking, Xiao Shan came in with a cloak in his hand.
Seeing this, Ji Qingzhou was about to return the robe on his body to Li Zhan, but when he heard that Li Zhan said first, "Go back and prepare some refreshments, the king is a little hungry."
Xiao Shan was very smart, and hurriedly retreated out with the cloak in his hand upon hearing this.
Then Li Zhan looked at Ji Qingzhou and said, "Let's go, I will take you back."
Ji Qingzhou asked: "Isn't the prince finished bathing yet? Do you want them to change a pool of hot water..."
"Let's talk about it later, I will send you back first." Li Zhan said.
Ji Qingzhou nodded when he heard the words, got up and followed Li Zhan out of the bathroom.
It's not even half a stick of incense from the bath room to Ji Qingzhou's residence, but Li Zhan walks very slowly, as if he intends to walk this distance until a stick of incense.
Thinking of Xiaoshan, Ji Qingzhou suddenly remembered something, and said to Li Zhan: "My lord, I have always wanted to ask you something, but I feel a little presumptuous..."
"This king said that you can ask anything you want without hesitation." Li Zhan said.
Ji Qingzhou nodded, and said, "Do you still remember He Man? It was the horseman who was sent to the Punishment Department because of the incident with Xiaoshan."
"My king ordered someone to send him to the other garden. There are horses over there that need someone to take care of them." Li Zhan said.
Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, and was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect that Li Zhan would arrange He Man to another garden.
This means that He Man is not only safe, but also has a definite whereabouts.
Then the possibility of Xiaoshan and the other party meeting again in the future will be much greater!
"Xiaoshan is very appropriate and takes good care of you." Li Zhan seemed to have guessed Ji Qingzhou's thoughts, and said: "After you give birth to the child, if he doesn't want to stay in the palace, let him go to another garden." Bar."
Ji Qingzhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "I thank the prince on behalf of Xiaoshan."
"You care about other people's affairs." Li Zhan turned to look at him and said.
Ji Qingzhou turned her head, looked at Li Zhan briefly in the night, and said, "Isn't the prince the same? He is also very concerned about other people's affairs." Whether it is the affairs of the Ji family, or Xiao Shanhe The matter of He Man and Li Zhan's actions have exceeded Ji Qingzhou's expectations.
"You are not someone else." Li Zhan said suddenly.
Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, and couldn't help but stop.
The two had arrived at Ji Qingzhou's residence at this time, Li Zhan stretched out his hand to help him open the door, and said in a low voice, "have a good rest."
After all, Li Zhan stretched out his hand to shake Ji Qingzhou's arm, then turned and left.
Ji Qingzhou turned around and looked at Li Zhan's back, and couldn't help thinking about Li Zhan's sentence "You are not someone else"...
Somewhere in his heart seemed to be gently touched by these words, and the feeling was very subtle.Ji Qingzhou tried hard to grasp something from this subtlety, but in vain, and finally had to give up temporarily.
The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ji Qingzhou had already asked Li Zhan for leave the first day, and changed into casual clothes in the afternoon, ready to leave the palace and go to Chifu.
Today he wore a lake blue robe and the pair of white short boots that Ji Qinglan made for him. He looked full of youthful air.Xiao Shan found a white jade hairpin and pinned it in Ji Qingzhou's hair, adding a bit of restrained elegance to him.
"Wow, Eunuch Ji is so beautiful in this dress!" The little emperor came here at some point, and when he saw Ji Qingzhou, he rushed over, then took Ji Qingzhou's hand and said to Li Zhan behind him with a smile on his face: "Uncle Huang ,dont you agree?"
"En." Li Zhan had no emotion on his face, and only responded lightly.
But Ji Qingzhou took a quick glance, but caught a faint smile from the other party's eyes.
"The Empress Dowager intends to fast behind closed doors this year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is no palace banquet prepared in the palace." Li Zhan explained to Ji Qingzhou: "There is nothing wrong with the left and right. This king intends to take His Majesty to the Chi Mansion with you for a meal."
Only then did Ji Qingzhou notice that Li Zhan and the little emperor had also changed into casual clothes.
Ji Qingzhou has always known that the Queen Mother eats fast and recites Buddha all day long, not only ignores the affairs in the palace, but also is not close to the little emperor, and only meets him every few days as a routine to ask a few questions about homework.It was also because of this that the little emperor was so close to Li Zhan, the emperor's uncle, because Li Zhan was his closest relative besides the queen mother.
"Eunuch Ji, can you bring me and the emperor?" The little emperor looked up at Ji Qingzhou and asked expectantly.
Ji Qingzhou hurriedly said: "Of course I just feel lonely alone."
The little emperor immediately smiled when he heard the words, took Ji Qingzhou with one hand and Li Zhan with the other, and walked out of the Yinghui Pavilion.

Li Zhan couldn't help but smile a little in his eyes as he spoke, and then Said: "Or it's not bad to go to the northwest to see the scenery once in a while."
When Ji Qingzhou heard the word "Northwest", her heart couldn't help but she subconsciously glanced at Li Zhan.
Li Zhan happened to be looking at him too, and the eyes of the two of them separated immediately, and their expressions were a little subtle.

"That will have to wait until His Majesty grows up and has his own child." Li Zhan said, "In this way, the affairs of the court can be handed over to your future emperor."
The little emperor pursed his lips when he heard the words, feeling that Li Zhan's hypothesis was far away for him.
Although he is young, he knows that people only get married and have children when they grow up. When his children grow up, it will be a year of the monkey!
Before that, if Li Zhan and Ji Qingzhou went to the northwest to see the scenery, wouldn't he be the only one left?
"Then you are all gone, what should I do?" The little emperor said with an unhappy face.
Ji Qingzhou laughed when he heard the words, and just wanted to say that your uncle went to see the scenery, we didn't go together...
But Li Zhan continued: "It's okay, we will come back to see you."
What Li Zhan said was very natural, just like the little emperor acquiesced that they would go together, his words also acquiesced that he would take Ji Qingzhou with him in his future life.Ji Qingzhou didn't think clearly about the deep meaning of these words for a while, but she was sensitively aware that something seemed wrong.
The little emperor didn't think there was anything wrong, heaved a sigh of relief, and reached out to hook Li Zhan's finger.
When everyone arrived at Chizhou's mansion, Chizhou had already sent someone to wait at the door. As soon as the man saw the carriage, he hurried back to report. After a while, Chizhou and Ji Qinglan greeted them.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Chi Zhou obviously didn't expect Li Zhan and the little emperor to come, and was taken aback.
Ji Qinglan was much calmer than him, saluted Li Zhan and the little emperor, and then saluted Ji Qingzhou.
When everyone entered the Chi mansion, Ji Qinglan made tea for them personally, while Chi Zhou ran to the kitchen and ordered some more dishes.When Li Zhan and the little emperor came, there were several more guards who came with them. The food for these people had to be prepared in advance, so that no one would be hungry during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"You drink less tea." Li Zhan stretched out his hand to press Ji Qingzhou's hand holding the tea cup, and said to Ji Qinglan: "Your brother has not slept well these days, the doctor told him to drink less tea."
Ji Qinglan hurriedly said: "Then I'll ask someone to make a cup of lotus seed soup for my brother."
"Sister... I want to drink too." The little emperor said to Ji Qinglan.
Ji Qinglan smiled when she heard the words, and ordered someone to prepare two cups of lotus seed soup.
After a while, the lotus seed soup was served, Ji Qinglan was afraid that the little emperor would be scalded, so she personally fed it to him.
The little emperor usually had few women in the palace. In the past, only the queen mother's younger sister Qiu Lanxi was the closest. Entered the palace.
Now being taken care of so carefully by Ji Qinglan, the little emperor was not used to it immediately.
But Ji Qinglan and Ji Qingzhou have somewhat similar eyebrows and eyes, which made the little emperor feel close to her very quickly.
"Sister, do you know why my uncle likes to come to Chi Shaoqing's house?" the little emperor asked Ji Qinglan.
Ji Qinglan smiled and said: "I am not familiar with the prince, so I don't know how to guess his mind. Then what does your majesty think is the reason?"
The little emperor smiled, leaned into her ear and said, "Because Eunuch Ji likes to come."
Ji Qinglan smiled when she heard the words, and turned to look at Ji Qingzhou and Li Zhan, noncommittal.
"Cong'er..." Li Zhan called the little emperor.
The little emperor quickly restrained his smile and looked at Li Zhan.
Li Zhan asked: "Sir, have you ever taught you that a good minister is far from a villain?"
"Taught." The little emperor hurriedly said: "Chi Shaoqing is a virtuous minister, and the emperor uncle and I should get closer to him."
Li Zhan smiled lightly when he heard the words, and asked again: "How do you think Cong'er should get close?"
The little emperor looked at Ji Qinglan and then at Ji Qingzhou, and said in a low voice, "Come to Chi Shaoqing's house more...for dinner?"
Li Zhan: ...
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Ji Qinglan: ...
After a while, the meal was ready.
Chizhou hurried in to gather people for dinner.
It was rare for the little emperor to eat with so many people, and he was in a particularly good mood, smiling all the time during the meal.
Ji Qinglan sat next to him and kept picking up vegetables for him.
The little emperor ate happily, so he said to Ji Qinglan: "Sister, you look so good-looking."
As soon as his words fell, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Chizhou said: "It seems that His Majesty likes good-looking people, haha."
"Who doesn't like beauties?" The little emperor looked at Chizhou and asked.
When Chizhou was asked such a question, his face turned a little red, he glanced at Ji Qinglan, and gave a guilty laugh twice.
The little emperor looked at Li Zhan again and said, "The emperor also likes beauties, right?"
Li Zhan glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense while eating."
"I'm not talking nonsense, the emperor likes Eunuch Ji." The little emperor hurriedly said, "Eunuch Ji is a beauty."
The little emperor's words came from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't think about anything wrong. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly became delicate.
Chizhou and Ji Qinglan looked at each other with nervous expressions.
Ji Qingzhou was even more embarrassed, looking at the little emperor, then at Li Zhan, and wanted to smooth things over, but didn't know what to say.
The little emperor was very smart, and realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said as soon as he said it.
Just like the emperor's uncle asked him to help keep the secret of "wanting to kiss Eunuch Ji", he realized that the fact that the emperor's uncle likes Eunuch Ji is also a secret, and this kind of secret should not be revealed in front of the person concerned, let alone as a Speaking in front of outsiders.
"Uncle Emperor..." The little emperor got up and walked over to Li Zhan, leaning on Li Zhan awkwardly.
Although he realized that he had said something wrong, he couldn't think of how to remedy it, so he could only try to ask Li Zhan for help.
Li Zhan laughed lightly, reached out to touch his head, and said, "You can't call Miss Ji your elder sister."
Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, and then realized that he and Ji Qinglan both forgot to correct the title of the little emperor.
After all, the little emperor is the king of a country. Even though Li Zhan has never cared much about these aspects, it is really inappropriate for him to call Ji Qinglan his sister...
"What should it be called?" the little emperor asked.
"I really want to call...you can call me aunt." Li Zhan said.
Ji Qingzhou was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.
However, Ji Qinglan subconsciously looked at Chizhou at each other, and there was a hint of understanding in their eyes, but they didn't say anything.
That night, everyone took their leave after having dinner at Chi Mansion.
The key to the palace gate had already been released at night, although they could enter through the corner gate, Li Zhan didn't intend to go back, and simply planned to take Ji Qingzhou and the little emperor to the palace to stay overnight.
The little emperor was so full that he dozed off. Li Zhan was afraid that he would accumulate food, so he didn't take the carriage, and planned to take him for a stroll back to the palace.
Seeing that the little emperor was not in high spirits all night, Ji Qingzhou knew that he was still upset about what he said wrongly before.
He has been with the little emperor for a long time, and found that the other party looks innocent on weekdays, but actually has a lot of thoughts.Just like tonight, he knew he said something wrong, although he was not blamed by Li Zhan, he kept blaming himself, and he lost the interest to play.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingzhou went to the street and bought him a lantern.
Holding the lantern, the little emperor felt a little better.
"Sleep if you're sleepy, I'll hold you." Li Zhan hugged the little emperor in his arms, and the little emperor obediently hugged Li Zhan's neck. After a while, he really fell asleep, with Ji still tightly in his hand. The lantern that Qingzhou bought for him.
"Are you tired?" Li Zhan turned to Ji Qingzhou and asked, "If you feel tired, go back in a carriage."
Ji Qingzhou knew that Li Zhan wanted to go for a walk, so he said, "I'm not tired, I also ate a little too much, just to digest my food."
Li Zhan smiled when he heard the words, hugged the little emperor and walked side by side with him on the street.
Pedestrians passing by would look at the three of them from time to time, with curious but non-malicious smiles on their faces.
"The night is so nice tonight." Li Zhan said suddenly.
Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou glanced at the night sky subconsciously. The moon hung brightly in the sky, looking like it was painted on.
"I once... had a dream, in which Tou Cong'er grew up, but he was not close to me..." Li Zhan said, with a bit of loneliness in his voice.Ji Qingzhou immediately realized that the dream Li Zhan mentioned was the plot in the original book, which was the last life Li Zhan lived.
"In that dream...the second brother, the fourth brother...everyone left..." Li Zhan said, "I always thought that after waking up, I would probably be so lonely and helpless for the rest of my life."
After Li Zhan finished speaking, he stopped, turned to look at Ji Qingzhou and said, "Thank you."
Li Zhan didn't say anything to thank Ji Qingzhou, but Ji Qingzhou guessed the unfinished meaning in the other party's words.
The appearance of this child is like a gift to Li Zhan.
It gave him a new possibility in his life...
After returning to the palace that night, Li Zhan first settled the little emperor, and then asked someone to fetch a new bedding for Ji Qingzhou, fearing that he would not be able to sleep well if he changed places suddenly.Ji Qingzhou has never been particular about this aspect, and he feels that he is not so expensive, but thinking that Li Zhan is out of caring about the child in his stomach, he readily accepts it.
If a father wants to love his children, he can't forcefully stop him.
Before Li Zhan left, he suddenly remembered something, turned to Ji Qingzhou and said, "I haven't read the scriptures to him today."
Ji Qingzhou glanced at the sleeping little emperor, and said, "It's too late, I'm afraid it will disturb His Majesty."
Li Zhan glanced at the little emperor, and said, "But Doctor Tang said, it's better to get closer to the child every day."
Ji Qingzhou scratched his nose, and said awkwardly: "Why don't you touch him..."
Li Zhan's eyes lit up, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked to Ji Qingzhou's side.
Ji Qingzhou unbuttoned his coat, and Li Zhan reached out to touch his stomach, and said, "It seems to be a little bigger than yesterday."
"It's not there..." Ji Qingzhou moved Li Zhan's hand from his stomach to his lower abdomen, and said, "What the prince just touched was my dinner at night..."
Li Zhan: ...
This child is actually smaller than rice!
That night, after Li Zhan returned to his room, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
The touch on Ji Qingzhou's lower abdomen and the slight curvature there were repeated in his mind.
Until late at night, he still didn't feel sleepy, so he simply asked someone to prepare wine, and sat alone at the stone table in the courtyard to drink alone.Probably because he was in a good mood, he was a little too drunk today, and after a pot of wine, he became a little confused.
Li Zhan is used to restraint and never let himself get drunk, but today is different from before.During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are people around him who want to spend the rest of their lives together, and they also have a child who is about to enter the world...
In addition to the little emperor, the people who accompany Li Zhan tonight are almost his whole world.
After an unknown amount of time, there was no more wine in Li Zhan's jug, and when he was about to get up and go back to his room, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Li Zhan looked back, and saw that the person who came was wearing a lake blue robe, and the outer robe was open, so the white middle coat inside was exposed.
In the moonlight, the green robe and white clothes on the man's body were slightly fluttered by the night wind, making him look like an exiled fairy walking out of a painting.
After the man approached, the faint scent of soap on his body blew over with the breeze, and Li Zhan, who was already a little confused, suddenly became a little more confused.
"My lord?" The young man's voice sounded in Li Zhan's ears, but because of the drunkenness, that voice was extremely unreal to Li Zhan's ears.
Seeing that Li Zhan didn't respond to him, the boy leaned over and took Li Zhan's arm to help him up.
But then, he felt his arms sink, and Li Zhan grabbed him and pulled him into his arms.
The two approached suddenly, and the young man subconsciously reached out and grabbed Li Zhan's skirt to stabilize his figure.
At this moment, Li Zhan's scorching and drunken breath approached suddenly, the young man felt a heat on his lips, and his whole body froze immediately...
It wasn't until the tip of Li Zhan's tongue stuck into the boy's mouth that the boy realized what had happened.
However, the young man was completely frightened by this sudden change, and he grabbed Li Zhan's skirt and stood there blankly, forgetting even to resist.Li Zhan didn't realize what it was until his breath was out of shape, and he let go of him a little.
The two lips parted, and the young man subconsciously licked his thin lips, which were already stained with Li Zhan's alcohol.
The night wind blew, and the boy finally woke up from the shock, turned around and fled into the night...
