The Regent is my cat

"what happened?"

Jian Linqing shook his head, feeling a little bewildered, "It's okay," he put aside those messy thoughts, "Listen to me, you are right. I haven't entered the palace for a long time, and the changes are quite big."

Yan Chen thought for a while, "The koi pond in the imperial garden has recently entered many kinds of fish, do you want to take a look?"

Jian Linqing became interested, and now it is the time when the twilight is gathering, "Then let's go and have a look, there is not much sun at the moment."

He looked at the sedan chair waiting for them not far away, "Why don't we go out of the palace by ourselves, anyway, we're not in a hurry."

Yan Chen nodded, "You wait for me here."

Jian Linqing waited for him, watched him lean into the sedan chair, and came out after a while. He first handed over the hand stove filled with ice cubes. Jian Linqing's hands were completely cold, so she couldn't help squinting her eyes comfortably. The bamboo umbrella in his hand, with slender five fingers holding the handle of the bamboo bone umbrella, looked over seriously with clear eyes, "The sun is still a little bit hot at dusk, you are so afraid of the heat, you should hold the umbrella."

Jian Linqing instinctively avoided this line of sight, "...well."

He walked under the umbrella and walked side by side with Yan Chen. His eyes flicked past the jade-like hand and wandered to the handle of the umbrella. There was a lively red carp made of jade hanging there. His eyes seemed to have found a foothold. , Jian Linqing was about to stare at it, Huaer came, but still couldn't calm down.

It was too close, much closer than the time they sat on the swing together, the distance between shoulders could be eliminated as long as any one of them stood a little further in, the wind was like a naughty child, as if he was staring at that The wide sleeves woven in summer yarn are easily blown up, and the light purple and light blue sleeves are blown to one place by the wind, intertwined with each other.

Jian Linqing regretted wearing this dress. Not only the sleeves, but also the light purple skirt was as light as a gauze cloud. He just reached Yan Chen's chin. The skirt was so long that it would touch the ground when it was blown over. Pushed by Yan Chen's footsteps, he was swinging back and forth on his clothes.

Jian Linqing watched, feeling a little uncomfortable for a while, and a little wanting to laugh for a while, feeling like Yan Chen was walking in his skirt.

Yan Chen stopped suddenly, Jian Linqing didn't know why, and saw him avoiding a little bit, bent over and raised his hand, Jian Linqing hurriedly avoided, "What's wrong?"

He stepped back in a hurry, and the layers of skirts bloomed like petals in Yan Chen's eyes. He straightened up, "I want to see if your skirt is dirty by my stepping on it."

Jian Linqing picked up the skirt in a hurry, "It shouldn't be. I won't step on you if I carry it. It's quite windy today."

Yan Chen responded to the little things he said in his mouth. He knew that Jian Linqing was uncomfortable, and it was precisely because of this discomfort that Yan Chen confirmed that he was not pouring this into him in one direction. Feelings, the latter responded, which made him a little excited.

He looked at Jian Linqing through his answer, and after the first love affair, staring turned into an action that needed an excuse.

He was obviously a little uncomfortable, he didn't look at him the whole time he was talking, his long eyelashes were drooping, and cast a cute shadow like a small fan on his eyes, probably Ku Xia was not active, and he ate more snacks than before, and he was fatter than before Some, there is some soft flesh on the cheeks, which makes people want to pinch it, and it also makes the lip beads on the peak of the lips more obvious, like a small cherry.

Instinctively, he had some offensive thoughts, and hastily looked away, spurning himself in his heart before calming down.

The koi pond in the imperial garden is huge, Jian Linqing stood on the bridge and looked down, "I didn't see any fish..."

"When the weather is hot, the fish will sink to the bottom of the water," Yan Chen explained to him softly, and handed the fish food in due course, "They will come up when they see what to eat."

Jian Linqing squeezed some fish food from his hand and dropped it. After a while, the water in the pool surged up, as if the color had been blotted out of the water. Carps of various colors rushed up with their tails swaying, vying for food. Jian Linqing saw that His eyes are going to be dazzled, and there is nothing unsightly about these carps. He sprinkled the fish food and separated the gathered carps, and a touch of gold flashed in his eyes, "So there are really golden carps, Yan Chen, did you see that?" ?"

Yan Chen looked at his joyful look, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I see, this is an arowana. Although it is rare, it is not uncommon. If you like it, I will put some in your pond? Besides, you want some more? what fish?"

Jian Linqing thought about the pond that he had left behind after the completion of the project, "I haven't thought about it yet, let's have more carp, and put some beautiful fish that are good-looking and edible."

"Then let's raise some butterfly fish. This kind of fish has a strange shape and a bright color..." He said a lot of fish without haste, and Jian Linqing couldn't take his eyes off it. I applauded, "You know a lot. Do you like raising fish?"

Usually, he can't tell that he has this hobby, but when he thought about it, he saw Yan Chen pondering for a moment, as if he had made some kind of decision, "The other day you said you wanted to dig a pond to raise fish, and I happened to have nothing to do, so I found some I read the books on this subject, thinking that if you ask me then, I will be able to answer."

The sticky feeling came again, Jian Linqing subconsciously wanted to scratch his face, raised his hand until he realized that his hand was stained with fish food, he put it down uncomfortably: "Well...then your memory is really good... I don't even remember the names you just said."

"Then let me pick fish for you, okay?"

Is this even possible?Jian Linqing subconsciously took a step back, only to feel that subtle and somewhat suffocating atmosphere disappeared, "...of course, I want to plant some lotus."

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Yan Chen smiled, and his voice was as gentle as the evening breeze, "Okay."

After he finished speaking, everything fell into silence, not the kind of leisurely silence, but restless, like a beating heart hidden in the chest, which needs to be touched and listened to be discovered.

Something unspeakable was growing in this silence, and Jian Linqing felt it inexplicably, which made the relationship between him and Yan Chen less frank or unscrupulous, and there was a barrier between them, It seems to draw a boundary for each other, which does not mean vigilance and unfamiliarity.

It's more like a passage, as if after crossing that layer of barriers, there will be a new layer of something connecting each other.

Jian Linqing seemed to understand, but his alertness to danger prompted him to react when everything was not yet clear. He retreated quietly but without knowing the reason, and instinctively distanced himself from Yan Chen. What did he want to say? , he had to say something to break this inexplicably sticky but anxious atmosphere.

His eyes roamed around and caught a person, "That seems to be King Ning?"

Yan Chen withdrew his gaze from him, and looked at the figure walking towards them, "It's him, coming towards us, he looks like this, we'd better not run into him."

As he spoke, Jian Linqing couldn't see what King Ning was like now, and subconsciously followed Yan Chen away. The two of them hid behind the rockery, and their breaths were intertwined. Only then did he realize that the situation was worse than before, but When Yan Shen sank to him to respond again, his warm breath brushed against his neck, "He's coming."

Curiosity overwhelmed everything, Jian Linqing looked over, and saw the bright red palm prints on King Ning's face. He was obviously not doing well recently, his brows and eyes were full of gloom, his body was thinner than before, and his face was more serious. He was so thin that his cheekbones protruded, his eyes were black and bloodshot, and he stood on the bridge supporting the railing, slumped and buried his face in his palms, the backs of his hands were covered with glaring scratches.

Those scars must have come from his mother.

Jian Linqing didn't know what to think in her heart. For a mother who lost her beloved son, it was natural to hate the murderer. Even if the murderer was her other biological son, the instigator of this tragedy was precisely this more loving son. elder brother, while ignoring the younger brother's mother.

Jian Linqing was unable to judge all of this.

He watched for a while, and wanted to leave quietly with Yan Chen, but he saw another person coming under the bridge. With King Ning on his back, the latter raised his eyes to look at him, obviously familiar but with some intimacy.

This person is probably King Rui.

What are these two talking about?Of course, Jian Linqing didn't feel that there was a warm scene in front of him. The emperor was seriously ill. One was the emperor's younger brother and the other was the emperor's son. When they met together, they couldn't just be a scene of unraveling their knots, right?

He probed his head, but his ears only caught some vague voices, and he couldn't hear what they were saying at all. Jian Linqing couldn't help but probed further and further, until the back of his neck was pinched by a warm hand, and the other party was about to leave, and he But it seemed that his whole body was numb, Yan Chen's voice sounded in his ears, the voice was extremely low, "If you go out again, you will be found out," Jian Linqing retreated obediently, and heard him again as if making people happy tone, "I heard, I'll tell you later."

Her ears were itchy from the breath, Jian Linqing covered her ears and nodded, not daring to look behind for some reason.

Naturally, he didn't see the deep eyes of the person behind him. Yan Chen lowered his eyes and stopped looking at the slender and exquisite nape of his neck, but unconsciously rubbed his fingertips, as if there were still residues on it that he touched just now. away from the touch.

Jian Linqing listened to them talking for a while before leaving, and quickly turned around and asked, "They just said..."

His voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widened and he looked at Yan Chen's face who was close at hand. They were too close, and Yan Chen's hand was still propped on the rockery. Jian Linqing felt as if he was being trapped With him in his arms, he can even count Qing Yan's eyelashes.

He stepped back abruptly, only to remember that there were jagged rocks behind his head, but the expected pain did not come.

He knelt into the not-so-soft warmth—it was Yan Chen's palm.

Jian Linqing almost avoided the deep eyes of the other party staring at him like a turmoil. Those eyes made him flustered, making his sight seem to be thrown from the sky, and he found a place in a panic. Foothold.

He saw a small mole on the side of Yan Chen's nose.

Like a drop of very light ink dripping from rice paper.
