Xiao Shen was embracing his husband contentedly, greedily inhaling the fragrance of his body, he paused, "What's wrong?"

"It's not right anywhere!" Shen Qingzhuo struggled to break free from the suffocating embrace, and said with a serious face, "This matter ends here, don't mention it again."

Xiao Shen frowned: "Why?"

"Because..." Shen Qingzhuo took two steps back, "Because I'm your husband, we can't do that kind of ridiculous thing again."

"Why not?" Xiao Shen took a step closer to him, staring at him with his dark eyes, "Didn't Mister say he would help me?"

"I said to help you, but—" Shen Qingzhuo leaned against the door frame with his thin back, raised his hand against the young apprentice's chest, and blurted out, "At present, sir thinks you are normal, even stronger than normal people, not at all. Need help sir!"

Although the memory of that night was messy, and he couldn't see it with his own eyes through his clothes, he still felt clearly...

Xiao Shen looked at him with serious eyes, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Am I really that good?"

Mr.'s blatant compliment really made him elated.

"I've said so much, and you only heard these two words?" Shen Qingzhuo couldn't laugh or cry, and pushed him hard.

Put aside all the shyness and everything else, this is the little apprentice he personally raised, how could the master be at a disadvantage in such a matter?

However, the young man's body is like an iron wall, no matter how much he pushes, he can't push it. Instead, he grabbed his wrist, "Maybe this disease is an intermittent attack. Since the master helped me once, why don't you send it to the Buddha--good, good, good." ,I will not say anymore."

A pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes contained sparkling anger, and the slightly upturned eyes were flushed with anger, but became more beautiful and lively when angry.

Swallowing unconsciously in his throat, Xiao Shen fawned over his snow wrist, "I was wrong, sir, don't be angry."

The future is long, and he must have enough patience to boil Mr. in warm water.

What's more, now that he has not boarded the dragon chair at the pinnacle of power, he can't give him anything, so what qualifications does he have to ask him for more?

"It's more or less the same." Shen Qingzhuo looked pale, and said in a commanding tone, "Anyway, don't mention this matter again in the future."

"Don't mention it, don't mention it..." Xiao Shen responded again and again, and quickly changed the subject, "Tonight, New Year's Eve, sir, do you want to watch the fireworks?"

Before he left the palace at the age of 16, they would go to the rooftop to watch the fireworks every New Year's Eve.

"Look! Of course you have to watch it!" Shen Qingzhuo replied without hesitation, "This is our traditional program and must be kept."

***

Xiao Dezi quickly found the ladder, and Shen Qingzhuo stood under the wooden ladder, and said worriedly: "You are still injured, be careful."

In fact, for Xiao Shen today, it is not a problem to climb up the roof with bare hands, but in order not to worry his husband, he still climbed up step by step honestly.

After watching the little apprentice climb up to the roof, Shen Qingzhuo climbed up the wooden ladder.

When he was about to climb to the top of the ladder, Xiao Shen on the roof stretched out his hand to him, "Sir, come."

In a daze, Shen Qingzhuo seemed to have returned to the first New Year's Eve they spent together, when he stood on it and pulled Xiaotuanzi up.

Now time and space have changed, but it is the little apprentice who pulls him.

"Sir?" Xiao Shen stretched out his hand again.

Shen Qingzhuo came back to his senses, took that big warm and dry hand, and climbed onto the roof smoothly.

"The scenery here is really like a day for ten years." Shen Qingzhuo lifted his cloak and sat down, then patted the seat next to him, "Sit down."

Xiao Shen sat down according to his words, handed the wine jar in his hand to his husband, and asked in a low voice: "Did you come here alone to watch the fireworks during the two years I was away?"

Shen Qingzhuo took the wine jar, shook his head, "No."

Yingting raised his eyebrows, and the young man's tone sank, "Then sir, who did you come with?"

He always thought that this was a secret base belonging to him and his husband. During the two years he was away, his husband actually had a relationship with other people...

"You're not here, sir, what's the point of watching the fireworks alone?" Shen Qingzhuo pried open the mouth of the altar with one hand, and took a sip of the wine on his back, "It just adds to the yearning."

With just one sentence, the withered flower in Xiao Shen's heart bloomed again in an instant, and the corners of his lips couldn't stop rising, "Do you miss me, sir?"

"Nonsense." Shen Qingzhuo glanced sideways at him, "It's just raising a puppy, and I'm not used to being away from my side at first, let alone a living little apprentice?"

The upward arc froze, and Xiao Shen asked in a tone of surprise, "Dog? Do I treat dogs the same way in Mr.'s heart?"

"Huh? I didn't say that." Shen Qingzhuo almost burst out laughing, "Mr. is just making an analogy."

Xiao Shen shouted angrily: "Sir!"

Seeing the little apprentice blowing his hair after a long absence, Shen Qingzhuo comforted him familiarly: "Okay, okay, you are much more important than a puppy in Mr.'s heart."

Xiao Shen's eyes were gloomy, his thin lips were pursed tightly, obviously he was still not satisfied with this answer.

"In this world, you are the most important person for Mister." Shen Qingzhuo looked serious, and his tone seemed lost, "During the two years you left, the fireworks also lost their color, so Mister stopped watching."

The thorns that exploded all over his body were instantly wiped clean.

The long black eyelashes trembled unnaturally, Xiao Shen was full of love and didn't know how to express it, he could only turn around and hugged Mr. into his arms, with his chin resting on the top of his hair, he called out with a slightly choked voice: "Sir..."

"Hey." Shen Qingzhuo let him hold her, "I'm here, Mr. is here..."

Today's little apprentice has grown too tall, and he can no longer throw himself into his arms at will, and instead hugs so tightly that he can hardly breathe.

Shen Qingzhuo coaxed softly: "Let go of sir, the roof is not safe."

From an angle that he couldn't see, before Xiao Shen let go of him, he secretly kissed his temple hair, and it was so fast that he could hardly notice it.

Shen Qingzhuo took another sip of wine, then passed it to the little apprentice, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in a few years, has your drinking capacity improved? Would you like to have a sip?"

Xiao Shen took the wine, and took a long gulp with his head held high at the spot where his husband had drunk it.

"It's great." Shen Qingzhuo looked at him with smiling eyes, and praised with a smile, "I won't choke on drinking anymore."

This tone is as if coaxing a child.

Xiao Shen took another big gulp, secretly grinding his back molars.

One day when he feeds his husband mouth-to-mouth the wine in his mouth, then the husband will probably realize how good his drinking capacity is now.

However, my husband will definitely be choked up by the wine, his eyes will be full of tears, his cheeks will be pink, and his neck and chest may be stained red...

"Shhhhhh!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Gorgeous and magnificent fireworks bloomed in the night, awakening the palace like a sleeping monster.

"It's so beautiful..." Shen Qingzhuo supported the blue tiles with his arms, and looked up at the colorful fireworks in the sky.

"Hmm..." Xiao Shen stared at Qing Juan's side face without blinking, and agreed in a low voice, "It's so beautiful."

In those years, he never looked up at the fireworks.

It's just because the most splendid fireworks are always beside him, blooming within his reach.

"Sir." When the fireworks faded, Xiao Shen said slowly, "Can I ask you for a New Year's gift?"

"What?" Shen Qingzhuo turned his face back, his eyes filled with smiles, "What gift does Xiao Qi want?"

Xiao Shen looked at him deeply, "Every year from now on, Mister will watch the fireworks with me, okay?"

The smile in Tao Hua's eyes gradually faded, and Shen Qingzhuo subconsciously avoided the fiery looking gaze, "I watch it every year, won't you get tired?"

"I won't get bored, how could I get bored?" Xiao Shen grasped Mr.'s wrist with a sincere and anxious tone, "Are you okay, sir?"

"Okay." After a moment of silence, Shen Qingzhuo finally agreed, "Sir, I will do my best to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks with you."

When the day comes when he has to leave, there must be someone beside the little apprentice who is willing to watch the fireworks with him.

For some reason, at this moment, an indescribable sourness surged in Shen Qingzhuo's heart.

Yes, he will leave one day, and there will be new people around the youth.By then, how long will his little apprentice remember him?

Before Xiao Shen had time to be happy, he keenly noticed that his husband was depressed, and suddenly became nervous, "What's the matter, sir? Is there something wrong?"

"No..." Shen Qingzhuo shook his head, throwing out the messy thoughts in his mind, "The fireworks are over, let's go down first."

Xiao Shen looked at Mr. worriedly, and replied, "That's fine, the roof is windy."

He went down to the roof first, and stood in front of the wooden ladder with open arms, ready to catch Mr.

Shen Qingzhuo climbed down cautiously, turned his head inadvertently, and saw the little apprentice in the posture of an eagle spreading its wings to protect the cub, he couldn't help laughing: "Sir, you are not that stupid—"

Before he finished speaking, he slipped on his feet and fell backwards, then fell into a warm and familiar embrace.

"How is it?" The hot breath brushed against the ear, and there was a magnetic muffled laughter, "Mr. also said that he is not stupid."

"Presumptuous!" Shen Qingzhuo was both ashamed and annoyed, pretending to be angry and scolded, "How dare you say that Mr. is stupid, you are not small!"

"There are even more presumptuous ones." Xiao Shen said with a deep smile, one hand wrapped around Ying Ying's waist, the other hand wrapped around the knees, and straightly hugged him up.

"Ah!" Shen Qingzhuo whispered, "Xiaoqi, what are you doing?"

"Princess hug, sir." Xiao Shen easily carried him into the house, "Don't you like it very much, sir?"

Shen Qingzhuo struggled: "Put me down, I like the princess hugging you, not being hugged by your princess!"

Xiao Shen took off his boots with his hands down the knees, and then jerked them maliciously, as if he was about to throw Mr. off directly.

Sure enough, Mr. Shen, who was obsessed with cleanliness, hugged his shoulder reflexively, "Xiao Xiaoqi!"

If he didn't sign up for Fangjiewa for three days, he should be talking about his daring little apprentice!

The little apprentice laughed even more heartily. He was forced to lean against his solid chest, his heartbeat seemed to vibrate in sync, and the ears were inexplicably warm, so he could only say in a fierce tone: "You wait for me, sir!"

"Well, wait for Mister." Xiao Shen carried Mr. into the inner hall and put him firmly on the bed.

As soon as Shen Qingzhuo sat down firmly, he raised his foot and kicked him, but the big hand grabbed his ankle again and took off his white socks.

"You—" This time he was really angry, and his snow-white face turned red with anger.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm used to it." Xiao Shen smiled and knelt down on one knee, then let go of his hand and signaled, "Sir, do it again."

Shen Qingzhuo: "..."

The little apprentice was injured, but he still couldn't bear to kick hard, so he just kicked lightly, "Go and wash your feet, sir, you need to soak your feet."

"Okay." Xiao Shen responded obediently, and immediately got up to fetch water, without seeing the presumptuous appearance just now.

Shen Qingzhuo let out a breath slowly, raised his hand to take off his cloak and outer robe, lay back on the soft bedding, and took a rest.

Not long after, Xiao Shen came back with a water basin.

"Just now you asked your husband for a New Year's gift, and it's not that he's unprepared." Shen Qingzhuo shook his calf hanging by the bed, "Do you want to know what it is?"

Xiao Shen knelt down on one knee again, grabbed the swaying jade feet, picked up the hot water in the basin and poured them on the feet to adapt to the water temperature, "Sir, if you want to speak, you will naturally speak."

"Hey, it's boring. Where did my childhood curiosity go?" Shen Qingzhuo let him press his feet into the hot water, "But you guessed it, the New Year's gift that Mister will give you is the throne."

Xiao Shen's face remained unchanged, he concentrated on kneading his delicate white feet in the water, as if this was the biggest thing in the world, "Is the time to do it?"

"Your father is going to appoint the crown prince in public at the ministers' banquet on the sixth day of the lunar new year." Shen Qingzhuo yawned lazily, "This is the best time to do it. Everything is ready, and I only owe Dongfeng."

"I'm ready here, just waiting for my master's orders." Xiao Shen took the towel that was put aside, and carefully wiped his wet jade feet clean.

"I planned to clean up the Queen Mother's party together, but uprooting the Qi family is a bit more difficult than expected. If this action is too big, it may cause turmoil in the government and the public." Shen Qingzhuo propped up his upper body and looked down at the kneeling in front of him. The young man said, "But you don't have to worry, Mr. Empress Dowager has already thought about her home, let's take advantage of the wind first, so that it will be more reasonable for you to ascend the throne and change your name."

Xiao Shen's eyes fell on the jade feet that were bright red from the hot water, and he stretched out his hands to wrap around the slightly protruding ankles, "Okay, listen to sir."

Shen Qingzhuo tried to pull back his feet, "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing." A deep and hoarse voice sounded, Xiao Shen raised his eyes and grinned, "I'm measuring the size of Mr.'s ankle."

The author has something to say:

Mr.: I told you about seeking to usurp the throne, why don't you let it go?

Wolf Cub: I have serious things on my mind, really!

There is a baby asking for the uncut version of the previous chapter. In fact, it is very simple to sum up: Kun is so big that it cannot be stewed in a pot, and it turns into a bird. Its name is Shen...
