birth

In the end, each of them took a step back, Fu Er promised not to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xu Jia agreed to let him live in the Qiyu Palace.

If Fu Er disagrees again, Xu Jia even has the immoral idea of ​​setting fire to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Qiyu Temple was built during the reign of Xuanwu. At that time, monsters were rampant and the world was in turmoil. In order to calm down the country, the Emperor Mingqiu issued an unnecessary decree and invited the elders of the Wangshuo School to come out of the mountain.That Emperor Mingqiu is a master who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He is afraid that monsters will sneak up to claim his life in the middle of the night, so he built the residence of the Great Elder very close to Yugan Palace, but it is just a few steps away from the corner. , now it's cheaper for Xu Jia.

Speaking of Mo Xuling, Xu Jia didn't feel any changes in his body since he ascended the throne. He searched the imperial study room but couldn't find the slightest clue. Could it be that Emperor Chu Ming hadn't had time to tell him how to summon Mo Xuling? Need to order, was strangled to death by "self"?

But it is also very likely that it has something to do with his status as a half-demon. Could it be that Mo Xuling could also detect the demonic energy in his body, so he couldn't successfully sense it?

But no matter how impatient Xu Jia is now, he has nothing to do, and he doesn't even have anyone to ask. After all, except for the emperors of all dynasties, no one knows about Mo Xuling.Now I can only pray that one day a blind cat will meet a dead mouse, or... is it only the blood of the eldest grandson's family?

Xu Jia was aroused by this thought, and during the meal that day, he took the initiative to ask whether he wanted to go to Mengshu Hall to see Xiao Chengan.

Little Chengan has now been named King Ke Yi, but because of his young age, he still lives in the palace.

Fuer looked at him with a devilish expression, "Really?"

Xu Jia, "Aren't you going? I just wondered if I said last time that I want to release paper kites together when I'm free?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Er immediately responded, "Go! Go after eating!"

Although Fuer didn't know what kind of medicine Xu Jia took by mistake today, if he remembered correctly, every time Xu Jia saw Xiao Chengan, he either looked impatient or sullen, and today he offered to accompany Xiao Chengan. Little Chengan was playing.

But the only thing that is certain is that Xiao Chengan likes Xu Jia, the cheap brother who was picked up halfway, and a long time ago, when Xu Jia was still injured and unconscious, Fu Er had promised Xiao Chengan to release the kite Oh, I didn't expect it to be delayed until now.

Thinking of this, Fuer ate a little faster.

Xu Jia couldn't help laughing, "Why are you in a hurry? Eat slowly, I don't know how to run."

Fu Er seemed to have only heard the last few words selectively, and suddenly raised his head to stare at Xu Jia, and said fiercely, "You can't go back on what you say!"

Xu Jia laughed uncontrollably, and helplessly stretched out his hand to pinch his face, "Got it." He stretched out his hand to tease him, "You don't want to hook me anymore, do you? Whoever doesn't get hooked is a bastard? "

Fuer glanced at him, moved away a little, and muttered in a low voice, "Who wants to hook you up."

He doesn't want to be a bastard.

There is a large empty grassland near the imperial garden, which is just suitable for putting paper kites. Fu Er tied the paper kites with strings, but they couldn't get through the last hole. In the end, Xu Jia knelt down and held his hand and passed through. I always felt it was strange, Xu Jia could take away the kite and wear it by himself, why insisted on holding his hand to wear it?But it seems even more strange to withdraw your hand now.

Xu Jia tapped him once, "What are you thinking about?"

Fu Er raised his eyes, silently rubbed the place where he was knocked, and tried to escape from Xu Jia with the paper kite, but when he just stood up, Xu Jia tripped his feet, and due to inertia, he fell into a He fell forward, just in time to be caught by Xu Jia.

Xu Jia was lying on the grass, and he was lying on Xu Jia's body.

Xu Jia supported him with both hands, and smiled sullenly, "Brother, why are you so enthusiastic today?"

Fuer blushed, struggled to stand up from him, and retorted, "Who made you trip me?"

Xu Jia also sat up from the ground, patted the dirt, and smiled clearly, "I didn't trip you on purpose."

"Besides, even if I tripped you on purpose, it was to catch you." "Why do I want to catch you? Because I want to hug you."

"Then why do I want to hug you? Because I like you."

Fuer's ears were bleeding from his fallacious words, and he couldn't find any words to refute him, so he could only look back and stare at him holding his breath.

This glance can be said to have zero damage. Xu Jia was stared at by Fu Er, and the bones on his body began to itch again, and he deliberately asked, "Brother, why are you staring at me? Is there something wrong with liking you?"

Fu'er couldn't say no to him, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Xu Jia grabbed his sleeves, "Or do you mean, brother doesn't like me?"

like?dislike?Fuer bit his lips tightly, as if he couldn't say anything right.

Zhou Shun, who was standing not far away, glanced at his master quietly, and then raised his head to look at the sun in front of him.

It's not dark yet.

Why do some people stop being human and become beasts?

Not far away came Xiao Chengan's resounding voice, yelling "Brother Jia" one after another, which made people feel happy.As if finally freed, Fu Er broke free from Xu Jia's restraint, and hugged Xiao Chengan into his arms with a smile, "Has Xiao Chengan gained weight recently?"

Xiao Chengan puffed his cheeks, and seriously shook his index finger, "Little Chengan doesn't want to become a big fat man."

Xu Jia frightened him, "Then let you be released as a kite, okay?"

Fuer turned around and glared at him, and warned him not to talk nonsense with his mouth.

But Xu Jia smiled at him with a shameless face, and made a gesture of blowing a kiss.

Fuer, "..."

Xiao Chengan was still immersed in the joy that Xu Jia took the initiative to talk to him just now, he pretended to be brave and pulled Xu Jia's hand, raised his head timidly and asked, "Brother Jia, can you teach me how to let go of paper kites?"

Xu Jia froze, and looked down at him as if disgusted, but finally took the paper kite from Fuer's hand.

Fu Er looked at the backs of one big and one small who were gradually receding away, and smiled knowingly.

But this warm scene didn't last long, when Xu Jia told Zhou Shun, "Come here!"

Zhou Shun's intuition was that it was not a good thing, and as expected, Xu Jia had just passed by and regarded it as a mobile attractor.

Although today's weather is fine, the sky is clear, but the wind direction is changeable. Xu Jia held the paper kite for a long time without getting up, and then turned to look at Xiao Chengan's expectant and adoring eyes. The kite followed the wind to find its direction.

Zhou Shun, "..." Your uncle.

Xu Jia laid down the thread leisurely, occasionally commanding, "Go further to the left."

"Hurry up, run faster."

"Passed, that direction just now."

"Yes, yes, speed up."

In the end, under Zhou Shun's strenuous running, the kite finally flew into the sky dangling, Xiao Chengan happily clapped his hands and laughed, "Brother Jia is awesome! So amazing!"

Zhou Shun, "..."

Xu Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right." He knelt down and greeted Xiao Chengan, "Come here, brother will teach you how to fly paper kites."

Xiao Chengan sat on his lap, with an excited and happy expression on his face, watching the kite fly higher and higher, his eyes sparkled with joy.

Fuer's kite couldn't lift into the air, he twisted the thread in frustration, and when he was about to give up, someone hugged him from behind. Xu Jia hugged him from behind, holding his hand like Teach him the same way you taught Xiao Chengan just now, "Don't worry, take your time."

Fuer moved uncomfortably, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

Xu Jia's mind was not on teaching others, she was all attracted by the people in her arms.His throat rolled down, his body temperature rose uncontrollably, and he pressed his tongue against his cheek.

Xu Jia, Xu Jia, you are torturing yourself.

At the moment when the kite finally took to the sky, both Xu Jia and Fu Er heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.Xu Jia let go of his hand and took a step back only to realize that his front and Fuer's back were all soaked.

For a moment, I didn't know who soaked whose clothes.

Xu Jia coughed unnaturally, pointed to the paper kite in the sky, and asked for compliments, "Am I amazing?"

Fuer bent his lips and echoed, "Excellent."

Xu Jia's vanity was greatly satisfied by the phrase "excellent". Just as he was about to open the peacock again, a communicative voice came from behind, "Jiang Jieyu is here."

At the day when the rank was sealed, Jiang Shuyue was the only one who was sealed as a third-rank Jieyu, and her status was completely different. In addition, she was always arrogant, and she didn't know how to restrain herself when doing things on weekdays. The sisters who came into the palace with her also put on airs, and a lot of bad things were said behind their backs, saying that her eyes were on the top of her head and she would fall down sooner or later, that she was conferred the title of Jieyu because the emperor looked at it for Mr. Jiang Siyue In terms of face, it doesn't matter if she has a good skin and climbed on a high branch, she will fall off one day.

She could bear these words and pretend she didn't hear them, but the only thing she couldn't bear was - since she was sealed, the emperor has never favored her.

It was as if she had been forgotten since that day when she was casually sealed.

In the deep harem, nothing is more frightening than forgetting.

After a few days of anxiety in Xianyin Palace, she finally made up her mind not to sit and wait for death, but to take the initiative to attack.After inquiring about the emperor's preferences, she went to the imperial dining room to cook sweet potato and sweet rice soup herself. Just when she was about to send it over, she heard bursts of laughter from the empty grass next to the imperial garden.

When he got closer, he realized that it was the emperor with Xiao Chengan, and beside him was the Prime Minister of the State who was releasing paper kites.

It looked like a warm and joyful scene, but... Jiang Shuyue frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

When he stepped forward to salute and met Xu Jia's indifferent eyes, his nervous and accelerated heartbeat slowly cooled down.

He doesn't remember her.

Zhou Shun coughed dryly, leaned over and reminded in a low voice, "Jiang Shuyue, the only daughter of Jiang Siyue's family, was just named Jieyu by you a few days ago."

In fact, Xu Jia can't be blamed for this matter, who made him seal so many nobles Baolin that day to save trouble?

Xu Jia glanced at her clearly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Shuyue clenched the veil tightly in her hand, tried her best to maintain a decent smile on her face, and said, "The emperor is busy with everything and works hard for the country's affairs every day. You must remember to take care of yourself." She stretched out her hand to take the food basket from the maid next to her, and said with a slight smile, "So I specially cooked this sweet potato and sweet rice soup myself, I hope the emperor likes it."

When Xu Jia's calm eyes fell on the food basket, there was finally a slight wave, "I know your kindness."

After Zhou Shun took the food basket with his eyes, seeing Jiang Shuyue still standing aside, he asked again, "Is there anything else?"

Jiang Shuyue was still waiting for Xu Jia to say something considerate, or maybe there should be a reward, but she only got a word to drive her away.The smile on Jiang Shuyue's face almost didn't stop, the handkerchief in her hand was about to make a hole, but she could only salute, "Then...the concubine will resign."

A small episode passed so painlessly, and after recovering Xu Jia realized that...Fu Er didn't seem to pay much attention to him.

He asked him if he wanted to keep releasing the paper kites, and he said it was fine.

He asked him if he would like to eat something tonight, and he said whatever.

He asked him if he wanted to take Xiao Chengan back for dinner, Fuer finally gave him a straight look, "Okay."

Xu Jia thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to have offended Fu Er just now, did he?But right now, this person is obviously angry.Turning his gaze, he stopped at the mahogany square food basket not far away, suddenly blessed to his heart, could it be because of this food basket?

Whether he is or not, let's explain first.

So Xu Jia put her face on her knees, stared at Fuer without blinking, and explained, "I stayed because I thought you liked sweet potato and sweet rice soup, so don't think too much about it."

After he explained this, Fuer became even more uncomfortable, and the fingers holding his legs curled up slightly where no one could see, "What are you explaining to me?"

Xu Jia, "Aren't you angry? I'm afraid you'll ignore me."

Fuer, "I'm not angry."

"Oh." Xu Jia pursed his lips, "So are you shy?"

Fuer did not raise his head to stare at him as usual, but kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Jia put away her smile, sat down a little closer to him, and bumped him with her shoulder, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm thinking." Fu Er lowered his head and paused for a moment, then raised his head to look at him, his eyes were shining brightly but it was hard to see his emotions clearly, "Xu Jia, do you...do you feel that the two of us are together?" Is that weird?"

Very strange.

For example, why did he feel blocked when he saw Jiang Jieyu delivering the food basket...

Could it be that he was really angry as Xu Jia said?But why should he be angry?He was just Xu Jia's elder brother, and he didn't even have the stance to be angry, just like Xu Jia didn't need to explain to him at all.

But he was still angry.

But he explained it anyway.

So it was very strange, so strange that Fuer couldn't sort out any thoughts even if he tried to break his head.

But Xu Jia didn't seem to understand what he was talking about. After a moment of stunned, he asked, "What's so strange?"

After Fuer and him looked at each other for a few seconds, they lowered their eyes, smiled lightly, and shook their heads, "It's nothing."

Not far away, Xiao Chengan was also tired from running after Zhou Shun, and ran over yelling that he was hungry, and even stretched out his hand for Fuer to hug, but was grabbed by Xu Jia, "Good boy, brother Fuer Tired today."

Xiao Chengan was hugged by Xu Jia's arms, and now he was lively and lively, but now he became quieter than anyone else. Fu Er couldn't help laughing, and mouthed behind him and asked, "Why are you so afraid of him? ?”

Xiao Chengan embarrassedly covered his face with his two small hands, and lay down on Xu Jia's neck, not daring to move any more.

Xu Shi noticed the movement behind him. Xu Jia, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, just in time to meet Fu Er's smile that he had not had time to take back after teasing Xiao Chengan. Xu Jia looked at him and smiled, stretched out Holding him with the other hand, "What are you laughing at?"

Fu Er instinctively wanted to avoid it, but when he realized it, Xu Jia had already grabbed his wrist.

Then... I don't want to get rid of it again.

Just pretend you didn’t see it, it’s getting dark anyway, so it’s okay.

Lie.

Unexpectedly, such a scene happened to fall into Jiang Shuyue's eyes.

After leaving the Imperial Garden just now, the more Jiang Shuyue thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and when she was about to walk back to Xianyin Palace, she suddenly decided to go back to have a look again, and happened to see Xu Jia holding Xiao Chengan in one hand and Fuer in the other faraway scene.

She stared at the three backs for a long time without looking away, until the maid Li Xue next to her reminded her, she whispered in a sleepy voice, not so much asking someone else, but more like muttering to herself, "You Don't you think there's something weird there?"

Li Xue followed her gaze and tilted her head for a long while without seeing why.

At this time, Xu Jia and the others could no longer see their backs, but Jiang Shuyue still kept her eyes fixed, she squinted her eyes, and expressed her feelings intermittently, "It's like... like a family of three. "

Suddenly, when Xu Jia was about to leave after delivering the food baskets, the eyes of Xu Jia who had just seen him looking down at Fu Er appeared in his mind.

Is it gentle?

As if not enough.

dependent?

It doesn't seem appropriate.

That look... contains the lingering love and vague ambiguity towards his lover.

The handkerchief in his hand was finally clenched with a hole.

Lover.
