The little fox does not want to hide the cub

Later in the day, the palace servants entered the house to set meals and tidy up the house by the way.

The light in the inner hall was dim, and the bed was completely covered by thick curtains. Li Ruan nestled in Jiang Shen's arms, and the ears and tails he had tactically conjured up to seduce Jiang Shen had already been retracted.

The little fox demon has been with people for a long time, and has learned more and more ways to seduce people, and has become more and more proficient in using them.

"I'm sorry, aren't you hungry?" Jiang Shen asked him softly, listening to the noise outside.

Li Ruan buried her head in Jiang Shen's arms, her voice was lazy and hoarse: "Lie down for a while."

Jiang Shen laughed: "Clingy."

Why didn't he realize before that the little fox is such a clingy character, especially during this time, it seems to be getting more and more clingy to him.

And today's behavior...

Jiang Shen once heard that some small animals recognize people by smell, and during the breeding and courtship stage, they will rely heavily on the scent of their partner, but it is somewhat similar to the behavior of the little fox recently.

It seems that he still has to ask Yu Xiu to find some books about how to raise foxes for him.

Jiang Shen thought in his heart.

He didn't take these words too seriously, but Li Ruan was a little concerned after hearing it.

"Is it not good for me to do this?" Li Ruan asked him in a low voice.

After calming down, he also felt that he was a little too headstrong today.

Jiang Shen is going to do something very important today, which is related to his own crown prince, the emperor's attitude towards him, and even the direction of the court in the future.Jiang Shen is doing such an important thing, but Li Ruan only thinks about his own comfort, and still makes trouble in his room.

"It's not bad." Jiang Shen lowered his head and kissed his forehead, "I said, you can do anything in front of me."

As soon as the kiss reached the point, the boy raised his head dissatisfied, Jiang Shen smiled and covered his lips again.

After a brief but deep kiss, Jiang Shen said: "Besides, you like me and are willing to rely on me, I am very happy."

Li Ruan blinked.

But in that case...he felt even worse.

Li Ruan didn't know if he had reached the level of liking Jiang Shen wanted at the beginning.He only knows that life in the mortal world is very happy, and the days staying with Jiang Shen are also very happy.

Such happiness often makes him forget his original intention of coming to the mortal world.

Originally, he just wanted to be by Jiang Shen's side, absorb his essence, and give birth to the cub in his stomach smoothly, and then...

Go back to Changming Mountain and continue to practice.

But now, how could he go back?

Jiang Shen only left for half a day, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't sit or stand, and he was going crazy.Li Ruan couldn't even remember how he got here during the month when he erased Jiang Shen's memory and lived alone in Changming Mountain.

What would he do without Jiang Shen?

Li Ruan suddenly felt a little wronged, and reached out to hug Jiang Shen even tighter.

"What's wrong?" Keenly aware of his emotional changes, Jiang Shen lightly touched the back of Li Ruan's neck, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking, can you tell me?"

Jiang Shen often reminded himself that monster races are different from humans.Their way of thinking, the difficulties they will encounter, and troubles, as a mortal, he is often unpredictable.

Therefore, he needs to be more careful in order not to let his little fox suffer any grievances.

"I was just thinking..." Li Ruan whispered in Jiang Shen's ear, "If I can't leave you anymore, what should I do?"

Li Ruan guessed that his abnormality today had something to do with the cub in his stomach.

After their double cultivation, this little boy has grown much faster than before, and is almost ready to take shape.During this period of time, Li Ruan needed more and more spiritual power, so when Jiang Shen was not by his side for a long time and his spiritual power could not be replenished, he would feel so irritable.

But if it was just like this, as long as Jiang Shen came back to him, he didn't need to run so far to find him, and he didn't need to stick to his double cultivation.

It was clearly what he wanted.

It was he who wanted Jiang Shen.

Jiang Shen stroked Li Ruan's back and was thinking about what he said, but before he could answer, he felt a slight tingling pain from his collarbone.

It was eaten by someone.

"Hiss." Jiang Shen pinched the back of the boy's neck, "It seems that I not only have a puppy, but also a puppy that loves to bite."

"Just bite you." Li Ruan said fiercely, "You made me abnormal."

The door of the palace was closed again, and it was the palace servant of Bucai who left.

Jiang Shen turned over, pressed the boy under him, clasped his wrist and kissed him delicately: "Well, it's my fault."

Kissed her lips, then tilted her head to stick her ears: "But liking is so abnormal, and I like you very much, what should I do?"

Li Ruan looked away angrily: "I don't particularly like you."

"Well, it's because I like you very much." Jiang Shen said with a smile in his tone, a little unreasonable, "It's because I really can't leave you, so you can't leave me either."

Li Ruan: "But..."

"Are you worried?" Jiang Shen raised his head, no longer the teasing intention just now, "Is there any last resort reason that makes you have to leave me?"

Li Ruan pursed her lips.

"Should...not be a last resort reason?" Li Ruan whispered.

It really doesn't count, because it's just a mistake on his mind.

When sending Jiang Shen away with his memory erased, Axue asked him whether he wanted to ascend or Jiang Shen, but he couldn't think clearly.Even now, he still can't figure it out.

Never before has Li Ruan hoped that he could retrieve his memory so much. When he remembered why he had to ascend in the first place, only when he remembered could he compare the two things and see which is more important.

Now like this, he can't choose at all.

"Then there is still a reason." Jiang Shen sighed softly, "Does it have something to do with where you came from?"

Li Ruan nodded.

Jiang Shen: "Can't tell me yet?"

Li Ruan stopped talking.

The first time I didn't tell him was because I was worried that Jiang Shen would be angry.But now he knew that Jiang Shen would not be angry with him, even if he was angry, he would not be so angry that he would not want him.

Up to now, he still doesn't want to talk about it.

Before he thought things through clearly, he didn't want Jiang Shenping to be troubled by speaking out, and he didn't want...Jiang Shen to influence his thoughts.

Ah Xue was right, he could only make a decision on this matter, and no one could interfere.

Can not rely on anyone.

"You don't have to worry about me." Li Ruan figured it out, broke away from Jiang Shen's embrace, turned over and sat up, "I will figure out a way by myself, you don't have to worry."

Li Ruan has always been like this, no matter what troubles they have, they always come and go quickly. If you don't understand something, you'd rather let it go first, and you don't want to compete with yourself all the time.

After he relaxed, he felt that his stomach was rumbling with hunger, and he put on his clothes and wanted to get out of bed: "Hurry up and eat, it's going to be cold in a while."

But as soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt a soreness spread from the soles of his feet to his spinal cord, and he almost fell down.

Jiang Shen had expected it a long time ago and helped him stabilize.

"How...how could this happen." Li Ruan leaned against Jiang Shen's arms and blinked blankly.

It could be why, isn't it because a certain little fox couldn't get enough today, and pestered him several times, from dawn to dark.

Almost made Jiang Shen fail.

Fortunately, he was finally satisfied in the end, otherwise Jiang Shen would not know how to end today.

Thinking of what happened just now, Jiang Shen still had lingering fears.He helped Li Ruan get dressed, and hugged him horizontally: "Don't move around, I'll carry you over."

Li Ruan obediently let him carry him to the table.

Li Ruan seemed to have really put those troubles behind her, even her appetite improved because she was satisfied today.He buried his head in the bowl and concentrated on eating, but Jiang Shen couldn't relax like him.

Judging from what the little fox said today, Jiang Shen felt that his previous guess was correct.When the little fox came to the world, he did experience some pressure.

Moreover, most of this pressure comes from his ethnic group.

It is more and more similar to the story in the storybook.

Of course Jiang Shen didn't want the little fox to bear this pressure alone, but the little fox refused to talk to him, and his memory hadn't recovered yet, so he really didn't know what to do to help him.

Jiang Shen turned his head to look at the little fox beside him, feeling a little worried.

What should he do...

In the middle of the night, a figure was quietly led into the Qianqing Palace by Eunuch Chang, the head servant.

The Holy Majesty was about to fall asleep, and the lights in the sleeping hall were dim.

The visitor knelt down in the hall: "Your Majesty."

"Well, I know all about it." Emperor Chongxuan leaned against the bed, as if he was looking at something through the candle lamp beside the bed.His figure was blocked by a thin gauze curtain, and only a thin silhouette could be vaguely seen, "I've worked hard for you these past few days, Xueshi Ge."

"I don't dare." Ge Xueshi kowtowed, "It's my honor to be able to share the worries for His Majesty and the country."

Emperor Chongxuan closed the folder in his hand, and said: "All these years, I have let you accompany the prince to assist him. From what you can see, how is the prince's performance in supervising the imperial examinations?"

"His Royal Highness has a great vision and a vision, and is a malleable talent."

"You have always had a high opinion of him." Emperor Chongxuan smiled, and said again, "I remember, you seem to be from a poor family. You should be very happy with the prince's decision."

"Yes." Ge Xueshi replied, "Weichen's hometown is poor. When I went home to visit my relatives last time, I saw many scholars and students who couldn't eat enough to keep warm because of their studies. What's more, they had to give up their official careers and returned home. farming at home."

"It's my fault." Emperor Chongxuan sighed, "Those famous families have been around for a long time, and their roots are very deep in the capital and even the entire Central Plains. Although I had the idea of ​​supporting the poor family before, I couldn't implement it. He is so courageous, he is stronger than me."

Xueshi Ge quickly leaned over and kowtowed: "Your Majesty cares about the common people, so there is nothing wrong with that!"

"Get up." Emperor Chongxuan asked, "The results of the palace examination are out, how is the response from the people?"

Ge Xueshi said: "Student Wen won No. 2 in the general examination earlier, and it has attracted a lot of attention among the poor people and students from poor families. Now that he has won the first prize in one fell swoop, it is what everyone expects. His Royal Highness's move is very rewarding." People's hearts."

"but……"

He paused slightly, and seemed to hesitate for a moment.

Emperor Chongxuan asked: "Is there any family that is dissatisfied?"

"Yes." Ge Xueshi said, "Qi Qiuming, the second-best student this year, is the eldest son and grandson of the Qi family, one of the four major families in the capital. When the news came back, the old lady of the Qi family was so angry that she dropped her glass on the spot."

Emperor Chongxuan seemed to be quite interested in this matter, sat up a little bit, and asked excitedly, "And then?"

Ge Xueshi looked a little hesitant, and said slowly: "Qi Shi asked someone to convey the meaning of attachment to His Highness before the palace test, and now His Highness let a poor student ride on their heads, come to think..."

Emperor Chongxuan asked, "Have they gone to look for Duke Huguo?"

Ge Xueshi bowed his head: "Your Majesty knows things like a god."

"It's not difficult to guess." Emperor Chongxuan said, "These famous families have meddled in the royal family everywhere. They are not really for the good of the world. They just want to support an easy-to-handle emperor. Before the third brother got close to these merchants, the third brother fell After that, I wanted to find the prince. The prince ignored him, so he set his mind on the sixth prince again."

Ge Xueshi: "The prince's support of the poor family will inevitably damage the interests of several big families. If all these wealthy families are involved, the capital may be in chaos."

This is also the reason why he suggested Jiang Shen make Wen Liangchu the second place today.

Sending the Qi family some face in exchange for the support of the wealthy Jia in the capital is the most beneficial in the short term.

"Let's make a mess." Emperor Chongxuan said lightly, "The prince will do this, he must have his own considerations, let him let him do it. If this matter can't be handled well, the throne will not be stable for him, why not change it?" people."

"Even if it doesn't work in the end..."

Emperor Chongxuan smiled softly, picked up the folder in hand again, and said calmly: "Isn't I still dead?"

Xueshi Ge was taken aback.

He raised his eyes to look forward, and most of the current Holy Master's body was hidden in the darkness, so he couldn't see clearly.This body has become very thin in the past two years, as if its vitality was emptied overnight, and it rapidly decayed.

But he is still today.

He's still the sword that hangs over everyone's heads.

There is no doubt about life and death.

Xueshi Ge lowered his head and kowtowed heavily: "Yes, I understand."

Three days after the palace examination, the Holy Majesty summoned all the admitted Jinshi to enter the palace and gave a feast of deer singing.

The Holy Majesty did not come to the banquet due to the dragon's physical discomfort, but only ordered His Royal Highness to come in person to show that the imperial court attaches great importance to talents.

...Jiang Shen really didn't want to go.

When the news came, Jiang Shen was swimming in the lake with his little fox in the imperial garden.Recently, the feeling of spring has become stronger, and the imperial garden is full of flowers, and the lake view is even more beautiful.

It's just a pity that someone ruined the mood.

Jiang Shen doesn't want to go, Li Ruan is clinging to him recently, and doesn't really want him to leave.

But he knew that this was a serious matter, so he said very sensiblely: "You go, I will go back to the bedroom by myself."

The tone was very soft, as if there was a little grievance and loss.

Jiang Shen hugged him into his arms, rubbed his head, and sighed: "After this matter is over, I'll take you to play in the palace. Let's go far away and see who can find me."

"It's okay, you have business to do." Li Ruan looked up at him expectantly, "If you really feel guilty, can you make it up to me tonight?"

Jiang Shen: "..."

The clinging skill of the little monster is really not a cover, obviously every time he started to cry and couldn't bear it, but he was still addicted.

I can't rest for a long time and I want to be haunted again, I don't know what temperance is at all.

Jiang Shen now understands more and more why there are often stories in story books where monsters kill mortals by sucking essence.

This is also due to his lack of concentration, every time Jiang Shen looked at the expectant eyes of the young boy, it was always difficult for Jiang Shen to refuse.Even if the reason wants to refuse, the body will not listen to him.

Jiang Shen asked Yu Xiu to send the boy back to the palace, watched the boy leaving, and sighed quietly.

In the long run, he really had to think of a way.

Ugh.
