The Favorite of the Court of Joy

After Zhang Xiaoqian got up, stretched his waist, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Have you been up for a long time? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You sleep so soundly, this king is reluctant to wake you up, not to mention your sleeping face is so beautiful, this king is even more reluctant."

Zhang Xiaoqian walked shyly with her head down, and found a painting on the table, without color, only a half-length portrait of a person outlined in black ink, it was his appearance when he was asleep, and the painting was very realistic.I really didn't expect that the bullshit prince is still a master of painting. If it is in modern times, such skills are enough to be admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts and carry forward the traditional art of my great country.

"Can this painting be given to me?"

Zhao Minghan refused, saying, "No, it doesn't look good."

Zhang Xiaoqian frowned, displeased, and asked: "What's so ugly, didn't you just say that my sleeping face is beautiful? It's so beautiful that you can't bear to wake me up."

Zhao Minghan smiled and said: "This king is not saying that you are not good-looking, this king is saying that this kind of painting does not show your beauty. After returning to the palace, there is enough time. This king will use the best rice paper. Draw a picture for you with the paint you want, and frame it."

"It's not too bad. But I still have to keep this one. If you forget to draw it, I will suffer a lot." Zhang Xiaoqian didn't think the simple outline was ugly at all. On the contrary, he thought it was very beautiful and liked it very much. .He blew on the paper to make sure it was dry, then folded it and put it in his pocket.

"Are you hungry? You have to eat dinner before going out." Zhao Minghan asked.

Zhang Xiaoqian rubbed his stomach, shook his head and said, "No, the contents of my stomach haven't been digested yet. Let's go out for a stroll, take a walk, and when it's digested, it's time for supper."

"Okay, let's go." Zhao Minghan took his hand and went out, not caring about the strange eyes of others.

Walking out of the gate of Zuixian Tower, looking around, the lights are brightly lit, like daytime, Lin'an Night Market is very lively, colorful boats on the water are decorated with lights on the river, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music on the boat can be heard from time to time, as well as scholars reciting poems. Fan tents, bonsai flowers, fresh fish, pigs and sheep, cakes and preserves, seasonal fruits, and various snacks are available.This reminded Zhang Xiaoqian of a poem in his Chinese textbook: "Shuimen is busy with evening tea merchants, and bridge city is full of drinkers all night."The last time I came to the night market, I was hunted down, and it was important to escape, so there was no time to stop and visit the night market.

Zhang Xiaoqian walked all the way, buying this, eating that, occasionally stopping to watch the juggling and magic performances on the side of the road, Zhao Minghan accompanied him all the way, and bought whatever he wanted.

"Tired? Go to the teahouse to rest and listen to an excerpt?"

"Okay, okay." Zhang Xiaoqian really wanted to sit down and have a good rest, his leg was about to break.

In the teahouse, they chose the best place, and Xiao Er brought two cups of high-quality tea and some snacks, including chestnuts. Zhao Minghan peeled the shells and put them on a clean plate, then moved them to Zhang Xiaoqian.

"Thank you, my lord." Warmth surged in Zhang Xiaoqian's heart, and he couldn't help but want to ask why Zhao Minghan was so kind to him tonight. "You're freaking out today."

"What's abnormal?" Zhao Minghan asked back.

"You are too nice to me, I will have an illusion." Yes, he has been hurt by the illusion once, and he can no longer think that because someone is nice to him, that person will always be nice to him for no purpose.

"What illusion? Don't you want me to treat you well?"

"I want to, but I don't want to either."

Zhang Xiaoqian suddenly became melancholy, and said in his heart: I am so afraid of falling in love with someone again.I got to where I am now because I fell in love with someone who was going to sell me.I'm terrified of falling in love with someone who doesn't love me again.If I must fall in love with someone, I hope I can find someone who only loves me, without any concubines or male pets, only me, who really loves me.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoqian became emotional, and didn't let Zhao Minghan interrupt, and then said: "My lord, although you have punished and humiliated me, you are indeed very good to me, and the cost of food and clothing is not a problem. Just like Tonight, if you were in our hometown, your performance tonight is really an impeccable good man. But you don't really love me, you just treat me as a male pet, and one day you will fall in love with another If I am alone, I will be abandoned by you, and I will have nothing at that time, how miserable! So since you only regard me as a male favorite, I will be honest and do a good job without competing for favor or being jealous. , a male pet who is always on call. Is this satisfactory? Oh yes, after you dote on me, you can leave some benefits for me, and my savings will not end up on the streets when you abandon me. "

It makes any man angry to hear that the person he loves doesn't love him. "You really think of yourself as a male prostitute, don't you. Where's your unyielding energy?"

"I just figured it out. Hey, there is no way. Didn't you say, my lord, that if I escaped, you would catch me back and break my legs? I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair .Since escaping is a dead end, and I can only be a male favorite who keeps my own place, then I will stay in the palace. At least I don’t have to worry about eating and drinking. While you are still pampering me, my lord, I will enjoy this kind of pampering more and more. day."

In fact, Zhao Minghan understands that what Zhang Xiaoqian got is the truth.In his heart, he is just a male pet, and he will pamper him until the next person who makes him want to pet appears.At that time, Zhang Xiaoqian is very likely to be sent to Piaoxue Residence by him or kicked out of the mansion by him.However, when a man hears that the person he loves does not love him, it is a kind of man's face being trampled on, not to mention which of the men and women he has played with has not been subdued by him, and he is the only one. From time to time, you can come and go with a wave of your fingers, except for this little darling, who annoys him from time to time, but he always brings him happiness.

"Well, this king will also tell you clearly that even if one day, this king despises you, he will never let go. This king will always keep you by his side."

Zhang Xiaoqian glared at him angrily, bit the shelled chestnuts hard, and said nothing, but it didn't mean he stopped complaining in his heart.He thought to himself: Damn, possessiveness is so strong.If you don't love Laozi, you still have to keep Laozi by your side.What do you want to do, watch you show affection with others?Scum!Big trotters!

Zhao Minghan just stared at Zhang Xiaoqian's moody face, not to mention how interesting it was.

Zhang Xiaoqian ate ventingly, Zhao Minghan watched with interest, and the shop waiter brought two cups of tea. "Guest officer, I'll give you two cups of freshly brewed tea."

Zhang Xiaoqian brought it over, drank it in one gulp, then started to eat some snacks, and then watched the singing on the stage, automatically blocking Zhao Minghan out.Zhao Minghan stopped staring at him, and turned his eyes to the stage. During this period, he wanted to take a sip of tea, but just happened to see a good show on the stage, so he put down the teacup again, but he had already touched the teacup just now. , with a little tea in his mouth.

Zhao Minghan saw Zhang Xiaoqian's body shaking, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, little slave?"

"I...I feel..." Zhang Xiaoqian turned his head slowly and said, "I feel...I'm so dizzy, so...so uncomfortable...so tired...I want to sleep..."

Zhao Minghan was shocked when he saw his face, nervous and furious.Because at this moment, Zhang Xiaoqian's entire face was blue and his lips were black, which was obviously caused by poisoning.Zhao Minghan's first thought was that the changed tea was poisoned.

After Zhang Xiaoqian finished speaking, he immediately lay down on the table unconscious.Zhao Minghan was about to get up and go to him, but found that he seemed to be poisoned too, and his lips were slowly turning black, but he didn't pass out immediately like Zhang Xiaoqian did, and he felt that his strength was slowly dissipating.

"My lord, what's wrong with you, my lord?" Leng Shuang asked urgently.

"Tea... there is poison in tea."

Before Zhao Minghan finished his sentence, a dozen or so masked men in black rushed towards them. The cold frost and wind protected Zhao Minghan and Zhang Xiaoqian, and all the other hidden guards were dispatched.

Suddenly, the whole teahouse was in chaos, with screams, fighting, porcelain breaking, tables and chairs being destroyed, and other sounds intertwined.

Among the hidden guards were guards who knew medical skills, and immediately gave Zhao Minghan and Zhang Xiaoqian the Life-Extending Pill. Zhao Minghan calmed down a little, but Zhang Xiaoqian remained motionless.

Zhao Minghan exerted his strength and said: "Send someone to the palace quickly to invite the imperial physician to the palace. In addition, these assassins must be caught alive." After explaining the matter, Zhao Minghan asked Leng Feng Lengshuang to take him and Zhang Xiaoqian back to the palace immediately.

Zhao Minghan's hidden guards were all well-trained masters, and these men in black were not their opponents, so they were quickly dealt with.It's just that they couldn't catch them alive, because these men in black were dead men, and they committed suicide immediately after they were caught.The hidden guards did not dare to stay longer, and ran along the direction back to the palace.

Sure enough, those men in black were not the only ones in the teahouse, they followed the carriage closely, looking for an opportunity to strike again.

In the carriage, Zhao Minghan hugged the unconscious Zhang Xiaoqian tightly, he was very anxious, he seemed to be afraid that something might happen to Zhang Xiaoqian, at this moment he clearly knew that Zhang Xiaoqian was not just a male favorite in his heart, he possessed his heart very much important position. "Little slave, this king does not allow you to have anything to do."

The carriage drove quickly, and came to a place that was sparsely populated and the only way to pass. The men in black leaping from the eaves followed closely behind. They saw the opportunity and rushed down to surround the carriage.

The carriage was forced to stop, and the cold frost and cold wind protected the carriage one after the other.

Everyone carried their knives and bright swords, and under the moonlight, the swords and swords intersected, making this night even colder.

The leading man in black made a look with his eyes, and all the men in black rushed towards the carriage.

Lengfeng and Lengshuang have used their housekeeping skills, they can support them for a short time, but after a long time, not only will they not be able to protect their master, but they will also die.
