I am His Majesty's favorite

It was rare to go out, Lin Heng did not go back to the palace directly after leaving the city defense camp, but turned to the pastry shop in the West Market to explore for a while.

In the cold weather, ordinary shops were closed as early as it was getting dark, but the time-honored Jilinzhai was still brightly lit with candles.

His Majesty the Emperor picked out some of Mu Chen's favorite snacks to pack, and then walked along the streets of the main city to relax.

He liked to sneak out at the very beginning of his ascension to see the world as a bystander.

Roosters crow and dogs bark, and boats with tent windows.

The women leaned against the door to wash their clothes, while the men boiled starch and soup.Children from all over the neighborhood chased and played with windmills in their hands, and a nursery rhyme was sung from the street to the end of the street.

This kind of enviable life is unprecedented in the royal family.

Fortunately, now that Mu Chen is by his side, he can take advantage of this to enjoy the tranquility and comfort outside the palace for a few days.

"Okay, let me take back the words of tranquility and comfort first."

Lin Heng was expressionless, staring at the two men in the Ouhu Pavilion who were so drunk that they couldn't help clenching their back molars.

"What about splitting up as agreed? Do you dare to do the work alone?"

The little uncle really drank too much, leaning on the side of the overturned low stool, holding the empty wine jug and pouring it into his mouth.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little more refined than him, and sat quietly.But half of his face was buried in the bowl of orchid beans, squinting for a nap and still not forgetting to move his lips to chew.

"Drunk so much, I really don't know who of you two is comforting who?"

Lin Heng had no choice but to ignore the loss of the majority, so he first picked up the little ancestor and let him rest in his arms.

Fortunately, the small pavilion is surrounded by thick curtains, so it is not cold in the winter.

Mu Zhen suddenly leaned on a piece of tenderness, and opened his eyes bewilderedly. "Why did you come back, I miss you."

The drunkenness was fading, and the words were naturally thick and weak, and the ending sound was a little bit coquettish, which made His Majesty the emperor feel a chill in his heart.

Lin Heng rubbed the back of his neck subconsciously, taking advantage of the situation to lift his thin and slender body into his arms.

Ouhu Lake is not far from the Changming Hall, and the chariot prepared by Jiang Laigong was not used.

The attendants in the dormitory brought sober soup and two basins of hot and cold water early in the morning, as well as a double change of clothes.

Lin Heng carefully put Mu Chi on the couch, rolled up his sleeves after all the palace people bowed their knees and bid farewell, and quite consciously removed the boots and coat for His Royal Highness, and began to serve people.

The little ancestor enjoyed it happily, he was half-dizzy and half-awake, stretching out his hands and lifting his waist, but it was very harmonious, except that he only stuck his head into the quilt when he was about to be fed the hangover soup.

"Be obedient." Lin Heng poked the bulging bag. "I brought you something delicious."

Apparently, His Royal Highness, who had just finished a tea party, was not in high spirits, and his wrists were stretched out slowly. "Old rules, eat first."

Lin Heng laughed. "Jilinzhai's signature glutinous rice cakes are the most delicious when served hot."

If Mu Chi was sober at the moment, he would probably jump up and expose it immediately.

The signature of Jilinzhai has always been fruit shortbread, and the cold dessert that is refreshing throughout the summer, how can it appear hot in the cold winter months.

A bowl of sour hangover soup made Mu Chen's eyes gradually brighten, and his wrinkled eyebrows were not completely stretched before he raised his voice: "Nuomi."

Lin Heng smiled even more when he heard this, and wiped away the stains on his lips like coaxing a child. "What glutinous rice cake?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a bit too slow to react, the brocade pillow didn't hit anyone, but landed on his own shoulder. "you're lying!"

"I didn't say this is the delicious food I brought you." Lin Heng smiled. "Drinking alcohol hurts the stomach, and eating glutinous pastries, do you really want to be so uncomfortable that you can't sleep all night?"

Mu Chen bit his lip, his cheeks were flushed, and he sat cross-legged on the bed, like a little puffer fish that smelled like wine.

"Are you still in trouble?"

His Majesty the Monarch was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, while holding back a smile, he stuffed the snacks he had brought back with him, while patting him on the forehead pamperingly as a lesson.

"How did you promise me when we parted? Persuading and persuading the fight, the result is that you care less about your body than the person involved."

"Love is the hardest thing to deal with. I can't let go of the child and can't set the wolf. Tell the truth after drinking. Isn't it for their own good?"

The hangover soup really worked really well, and Mu Chen, who was gradually clearing his mind, suddenly raised his head and said, "Hey, where's little uncle?"

Lin Heng was startled, and immediately remembered that he forgot Lian Xizhuo in the pavilion.

"It doesn't matter, you can't die if you throw it there anyway. It won't be too late to go to the palace to pick it up when Huai Chen thinks about it later."

After being a lobbyist for half a day, and drinking a few pots of wine with him, His Highness the Crown Prince was really tired at the moment, so he nodded after hearing what Lin Heng said.

"I'm very sleepy, I'm going to sleep. Make a note of the cheating on me first, and I'll settle it with you when I wake up tomorrow."

His Majesty the Emperor smiled, got up and rummaged through the water and agarwood in the gauze drawer and lit it for him.

In fact, Lin Heng didn't like incense. At most, he would put some ice flakes, cinnamon sticks, etc. in the alcove to refresh himself when government affairs were busy.

But Mu Chen likes it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who can't bear the slightest smell of filth, always burns all kinds of spices in the palace.The smell is not strong, but the thin smoke is lingering, and the light breath is lingering in the nose.

During the days when Mu Chi was away, Lin Heng stored some fragrant cakes according to the previous recipe in Huaibei. Occasionally, when he missed them very much, he took out a piece and smoked it.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

The little ancestor sniffed deeply and stretched his waist in the familiar smell.And the few fingers exposed outside the quilt tightly grasped the corners of the quilt, looking inexplicably cute.

"I'll do it later." Lin Heng wrung out the silk handkerchief and applied it to his forehead. "The hangover soup can't cure the external heat. If you don't take cold water to calm down, you will have a headache tomorrow."

The emperor's words were sincere, and he didn't mean to ask others for credit and jokes at all, but the people involved were a little short of breath for no reason.

It seems that Lin Heng has always taken care of him more, cooking and making clothes during the day, and being coaxed to sleep at night.

Mu Xi couldn't help sighing: "You, you are really used to being a close servant. If the subjects see that His Majesty the Emperor they respect is doing a little low for me, maybe they will scold me behind my back for being arrogant and arrogant. Proud."

Lin Heng lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, the movements of his hands remained gentle. "Your Highness is a man of gold, so it's only natural to be arrogant and arrogant even if you really put on airs."

"how about you?"

Mu Chen frowned slightly.

"Now your status is a bit higher than mine, you don't have to put me first in everything and take care of everything, you......"

"I am willing." Lin Heng seemed to know what he was going to say, and interrupted softly: "It doesn't matter whether it is a proton or the emperor. I have always been willing to protect you."

This sentence is not a blunt confession, but after they had a substantial intimate contact, it sounded different.

Mu Chen suddenly lost his sleep, blinked affectionately for a moment, and finally clasped another pair of warm palms with an inaudible sigh.

"I must have saved the common people and accumulated great virtue in my previous life, so I will meet you in this life."

"Yo." The one who was praised pretended to be surprised, and said with a foolish smile: "Your Highness's evaluation is so high? This makes Lin feel ashamed and terrified."

Lin Heng originally wanted to have a few words of humor with him, so that he would not be bored with alcohol, and would not be able to quench his thirst at night and catch a cold.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chen frowned suddenly, coughed several times in succession, and even his breathing gradually became heavy.

"What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his head sloppily to indicate that he was fine, then raised his finger to the copper niche and said, "What kind of incense did you smoke, why did you smell so hot?"

"hot?"

Lin Heng was puzzled and hurriedly got up to have a look.

The water in the copper shrine has added a lot of borneol and gardenia, which should calm the mind and calm the mind.

His Majesty the Emperor picked up the unburned half and crushed it finely, but he didn't realize where the problem was.

Just when he was in the middle of the investigation, Mu Chen's face turned red quickly, and a thin layer of clear sweat appeared on his forehead.Lin Heng panicked, and was just about to call the palace servants to pass on the imperial physician, but heard a few whimpers from the bed.

The sound was not loud, vague, half uncomfortable and half unbearable.Coupled with the tossing and twisting body, the quilt is like a very lingering cat.

Lin Heng's heart was churning, he didn't care about continuing to think about the incense, he stepped closer and wrapped him in his arms.

As soon as the hand touched it, I felt the scorching temperature, where was the heat, it was simply scalding.

Mu Chen's expression was in a trance, his lips were bitten red, as if he couldn't breathe because of the tight clothes, he began to paw and pull unconsciously.

After all, they had had skin-to-skin relationship and had loved each other for a long time.Even if His Majesty the Emperor is very determined, it is difficult to stop such an active offensive from his sweetheart.

"Lie down and lie down, I'll send the imperial doctor right away."

Lin Heng tried his best to keep his voice trembling slightly, avoiding his little ancestor's half-open pink neck sideways.

Reason told him that Mu Chen's emotion was definitely not in a normal state, and the most urgent thing is not to fall into the land of tenderness rashly.

"...don't...don't go..."

Feeling that the coolness that relieved the scorching heat was about to leave, His Royal Highness hurriedly clung to Lin Heng's waist, humming softly with his arms still around Lin Heng's waist.

"Brother Heng...I'm hot..."

Lin Heng couldn't stand this, he was anxious and couldn't bear it, his blush was no less than that of Mu Chen.

"Be good, wait until the imperial doctor's pulse has passed before I hug you to sleep, okay?"

At this moment, the effect of water agarwood to stabilize the mind has failed, His Majesty only felt that there were two different heat sources wrapped around each other in the bedroom of Changming Palace.

Mu Chi was so hard to bear that even sporadic water vapor appeared from his eye sockets. After hugging Lin Heng for a while, he felt that Lin Heng was not cool, so he turned his head and wobbled towards the side of the jade-inlaid bed.

It's a pity that those Lao Shizi have a kind of coldness, they are all polished smooth and neat, and people can't rely on them at all.

Lin Heng watched Mu Chi fall back limp and weak, and couldn't care how bad the situation was right now.Randomly gathered a few handfuls of clothes that the little ancestor had almost faded out, and said in a deep voice: "Come here! Pass the imperial physician!"

Eunuch Jiang Lai was on duty outside the door, and immediately bowed his waist to say hello when he heard the sound.

Fearing that the little eunuchs would be unreliable in their work and miss important tasks, he went to the imperial pharmacy to deliver the order himself.

While waiting for the imperial physician to arrive, Lin Heng was not idle, and kept soaking Mu Chen in cold water with a silk handkerchief to cool down.

The first few times were fine, and the dryness and heat were indeed relieved under the effect of external application.

But the more Lin Heng rubbed, the more he felt that something was wrong, and when he took a closer look, he suddenly found that the blush on his cheeks had disappeared at some point, replaced by a pale face.

"I........................"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hummed a syllable, covered his heart with his hands, and frowned fiercely with his delicate and light brows.

The marble paved palace floor tiles were instantly stained with a few globs of scarlet blood, and even more dripped on Mu Chen's lips.
