The burning pain made him tremble even for breathing.
Xie Mingyue opened her eyes.
Li Chengqi was close at hand, and the young man was sleeping in his arms defenselessly, with a white and slender neck, as if he could be strangled to death with a light hand, no more difficult than picking a flower.
Xie Mingyue hesitated and stretched out her hand—to wrap around Li Chengqi's waist.
Slender and flexible, like a willow branch that has just been twirled.
Xie Mingyue lowered her eyes, and carefully carried the young man onto the bed.
Xie Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and took off the boy's boots, and gently placed them beside the bed.
The little emperor's feet were snow-white, because he went out to play all day, he was no longer neatly dressed in the morning, and hung crookedly on his feet. Xie Mingyue hesitated for a moment, reached out and pulled off the ribbon on the feet, and squeezed the feet with four fingers. Carefully took off the skirt from Li Chengqi's feet.
His skin, which has not been exposed to light for many years, is pale, covered with cyanotic veins, and the juvenile's ankle bones are delicate, and can be easily worn in his hands.
Xie Mingyue put the footwear neatly in one place.
Li Chengqi sleeps in a decent posture, but it is not that simple to take off the clothes of a sleeping person. Besides, Xie Mingyue has never served anyone before. In fact, the most labor-saving way right now is to ask the palace servants to come in to change Li Chengqi's clothes, but he is unwilling.
Xie Mingyue took a silent breath, and untied Li Chengqi's belt.
Li Chengqi fell asleep ignorantly, her cheeks were slightly red because of the overwhelmed alcohol, if not for his steady breathing and closed eyes, it would have been flushed.
Xie Mingyue's fingers rested on Li Chengqi's collar, and hearing Li Chengqi's breathing, she didn't know whether to continue or not.
It felt really, really weird.
Even though she knew that Li Chengqi would never wake up, Xie Mingyue still lowered her head, avoiding Li Chengqi's face, and only concentrated on untying his robe.
Xie Mingyue took off her layers carefully and clumsily, taking off layers of heavy robes, Li Chengqi's figure became more and more stern and tall, her waist was thin and tough, revealing the unique delicacy of a young man.
After changing all the belts, Xie Mingyue unconsciously took a breath.
He folded the robe that Li Chengqi had taken off and put it aside out of the way.
No one would believe that after Xie Mingyue finished such a simple task as changing clothes, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Li Chengqi felt very light at first, a slight noise in the hall would wake him up, but today he drank too much for the first time, even when Xie Mingyue put the quilt on him, he didn't respond.
It was a dreamy dream, as if no matter what he did he would not respond.
Xie Mingyue's eyes fell on Li Chengqi's lips unconsciously.
The young man is full of blood, his lips are rosy, and there is a faint glow of moisture, which is different from another person's long-term illness, weakness and pale vitality.
Xie Mingyue's eyes darkened.
Is not it good?
Isn't that enough to satisfy him?
Xie Mingyue will be tucked in by the horns.
He didn't dare to think about the days when he could watch Li Chengqi fall asleep like this, but now... what else are you not satisfied with?
He seemed to hear someone sternly questioning in his mind.
Xie Mingyue, what do you want?
You have to let the monarch and his ministers go to the point of no return before you are reconciled, don't you?
Xie Mingyue had no expression on her face, her fingers were clenched blue.
He lowered his head, as if he had just realized this, looked at the palm with deep finger marks in doubt, and slowly let go.
He stood up quietly, straightened the robes that were messed up by Li Chengqi, and walked out with a normal expression.
He just took a step.
He suddenly didn't want to leave.
Xie Mingyue felt that it was not that she was not determined enough, Li Chengqi said that his mind could not be changed, as long as Xie Mingyue made up his mind to do something, no matter what, no matter what he paid, Xie Mingyue would finally make it happen.
Not tonight.
Because Li Chengqi grabbed a corner of his robe.
Xie Mingyue didn't know whether to blame the hem of the dress for being too long, or to blame herself for wearing it.
His expression was stained with traces of helplessness, the kind of helplessness deliberately put on, facing an ignorant child.
Xie Mingyue turned around.
Li Chengqi slept deeply, her breathing was steady and long, but her eyebrows were tightly frowned, Xie Mingyue looked down, the little emperor's hand that was originally under the quilt stretched out at some point, and was holding a corner of the hem of his clothes.
Xie Mingyue pressed her temple.
It's not surprising that a drunk person would do anything to Xie Mingyue, let alone a person like Li Chengqi who drank so much alcohol for the first time.
Xie Mingyue stepped forward, bent down, and was about to free her clothes from Li Chengqi's hands.
Li Chengqi murmured: "Thank you Xuandu."
Xie Mingyue paused.
The word "little emperor" is so light that it almost falls apart before it comes out of the lips and teeth.
"Your Majesty?" Xie Mingyue called out uncertainly.
"Xuandu..." Li Chengqi's voice was hoarse and gloomy, not like that of a teenager, "Don't..."
Xie Mingyue bowed, trying to get closer to Li Chengqi, and then closer.
I'm afraid no one will believe me when I say it, but Xie Mingyue sometimes listens to people talking and is so nervous that she dare not even catch her breath.
"Don't go." The little emperor whispered.
The voice was extremely hesitant, as if he was a little unwilling, but more, it was a plea as if he had grasped a life-saving straw regardless.
Xie Mingyue stood there motionless.
Uncontrollable ecstasy welled up in his heart, almost making him lose his sanity.
Only then did he take a breath, and his breathing was so heavy that even he himself was surprised.
Xie Mingyue gently sat next to Li Chengqi, the little emperor seemed to have heard the sound of cloth being rubbed in his dream, and let go of Xie Mingyue's wrinkled poor clothes. .
As soon as Xie Mingyue stretched out her hand, Li Chengqi grabbed it.
Xie Mingyue froze.
The sleeping little emperor still didn't realize it, and rubbed Xie Mingyue's thigh even harder.
If he had a little bit of consciousness, he would find that all the muscles in Xie Mingyue's body were as stiff as a rock.
"What do you think of?" Xie Mingyue heard herself speak, her voice hissed, like a dying traveler who has been in the desert for days and nights without drinking water.
No one answered.
Of course no one will answer.
Xie Mingyue didn't need Li Chengqi's answer to know what he remembered. Li Chengqi remembered the day he was forced into the palace.
Cui Yan died on that day.
Xie Mingyue was not in the palace, because at that time he took Li Chengqi's letter and led troops to surround the entire palace.
When he entered the palace, there was no smell of blood in the palace at all, and the faces of the palace people seemed to be full of joy, as if they were celebrating the new emperor's enthronement.
Li Chengqi nodded calmly when she saw him, she only praised him for doing well and being an important minister of the country, nothing else.
It was midnight when we saw each other again, Li Chengqi hurriedly ordered him to enter the palace.
Xie Mingyue guessed a little bit in her heart. When he arrived, there was no servant in the main hall of Changle Palace, and the guides didn't even dare to step into the courtyard.
But even though he was mentally prepared, when he saw Li Chengqi who was kneeling on the bed, gritting her teeth silently and crying, he was still so shocked that he didn't know what to do for a while.
He could only comfort Li Chengqi over and over again, and could only listen to Li Chengqi repeating the scene of being forced into the palace.
It wasn't until Li Chengqi hugged him that he finally cried out.
His voice was broken, but he was still aloof, but he still couldn't let go of his imperial majesty. He said: "Xie Xuandu... I can't help you," tears rolled down his face, almost wet Xie Mingyue's shoulders, "Don't Walk."
That night, Li Chengqi was not secretive, and Li Chengqi would mention it jokingly, praising Mingyue for her calmness when facing important events. He, the emperor, was frightened, but Xie Mingyue was calm.
Of course Li Chengqi didn't know, before hugging him back, when Xie Mingyue stretched out her hand, her whole body was trembling.
The little emperor rubbed against his thigh, Xie Mingyue couldn't bear it any longer, she wrapped her in her arms, Li Chengqi rested her head on his lap, chose a comfortable position to lie down, and finally calmed down for a moment.
Xie Mingyue pressed the center of her eyebrows with one hand.
There was an indescribable joy in his heart that even he himself found funny, happy, but also a little headache.
Xie Mingyue shook her head slightly, her hair crown crumbling.
He thought about the gentleman's crown, but he put the hairpin and the crown together in a place where Li Chengqi could not be reached.
The long hair fell down, and a few strands brushed against Li Chengqi's ears. The latter seemed to feel it, and raised his hand to brush the strands of hair aside.
The hall was silent.
The night was cool and the wind was clear, Xie Che shook his drowsy head, and strode towards the bedroom.
The whole palace is quiet, the more you go inside, the more silent it becomes.
Xie Che knew that Li Chengqi was asleep, so he hesitated standing outside.
The palace is remote and not as heavily guarded as in the palace. He said to himself: I am worried about His Majesty's safety.
But... are you really worried about the safety of the emperor?
He just got up the courage to take a step forward.
There are guards everywhere in the palace, and Xie Mingyue personally sent the little emperor back, so what is there to worry about?
Are you really worried?
Xie Che asked himself.
It's hard to describe his state of mind, the battle between heaven and man was fierce in his mind, the bedroom was so quiet that a needle could be heard, the only thing Xie Che could hear clearly at this moment was his own breathing, he took a deep breath, and walked inside.
There is not even a waiter in the inner hall, the candles are all extinguished, the windows on all sides are only half opened, the moonlight shines in through the gaps, and the ground is full of brilliance.
The bed net wasn't completely put down, only a layer of tulle was dropped to keep out the wind.
The person in the tent has a slender figure, even when he is kneeling and sitting, his waist is not bent down a bit, and through the light-colored tulle, it seems to be covered by the moonlight.
The cold wind blew past, Xie Che only felt a little shivering from the cold, and most of the wine was sober.
With Xie Mingyue's Xijie, would he let a student who had known him not long ago and didn't have such a deep relationship lie on his lap?
Even, even if the little emperor is drunk...
Xie Mingyue raised her eyelids when she heard the voice, Xie Che came quietly but didn't need to report, one can see that the Xie family is powerful, and the palace people dare not offend; two, the emperor really trusts him, Xie Che came to Li Chengqi's bedroom, familiar with the road, he whispered Asked: "What's the matter?"
"I, I don't trust Your Majesty," Xie Che said in a very difficult way. He could only hear his own voice, but he didn't know what he was talking about. "So let's take a look."
Xie Mingyue smiled at Xie Che.
Li Chengqi felt uncomfortable when Xie Mingyue's hair rubbed against her face again, so she pushed it away with her hand, using too much force, Xie Mingyue hissed in pain, grabbed Li Chengqi's wrist, pressed it on her leg, and said: "I'm here , nothing to worry about."
"Yes." Even if he couldn't see it, Xie Che could feel his forced smile, "Master Hou is here, naturally there is nothing to worry about."
Xie Che's footsteps were flimsy, and there was no real feeling when stepping on the stone slab, but it was like stepping on a cloud.
"Young Lord, Young Lord." Seeing his blank expression, the palace man couldn't help calling a few more times in a soft voice.
Xie Che came back to his senses.
When did I come out?
he thought dazedly.
The palace man said worriedly: "Young Master, it's cold at night, stand on the wind vent and be careful of catching cold."
Xie Che nodded lightly, and Fang felt a splitting headache when the wind blew.
He hissed and couldn't help rubbing his forehead.
Just now he saw... Li Chengqi pillowed on Xie Mingyue's lap?
Xie Che walked out without a trace of his body.
A palace man carried a lantern to guide him.
The light illuminated a small area in front of him.
Xie Che still felt dazed, just now, was it the illusion that he had drunk too much?
……
The next day, the sky was bright.
Li Chengqi's eyelids moved.
He felt that his whole body was heavy, but the Lingtai was clear, and although the fish wine was strong, it didn't give anyone a headache after drinking it.
Li Chengqi took a low breath and opened his eyes.
Unprepared, he saw the man's slightly open neckline. He fell into a dazed sleep, subconsciously looked up, and saw a section of snow-like neck, with his Adam's apple rolling slightly, like a ghost, Li Chengqi's eyes stuck to it and did not move.
Xie Mingyue lowered her head.
Li Chengqi was caught off guard and met Xie Mingyue's pale eyes.
Clear, gentle eyes, although faintly bloodshot around the eyes, they did not look distressed, on the contrary... they looked more like snakes.
Li Chengqi was ashamed to find that she stopped breathing for a moment when she looked into these beautiful and dangerous eyes.
But every part of Xie Mingyue's body has grown into the appearance that Li Chengqi admires the most.
"Sir," Li Chengqi said, and found that her voice was unbearably hoarse and low, not as clear as it used to be, "It's early." He said in embarrassment.
The feeling under the pillow was good, much more comfortable than the pillows he was resting on, neither soft nor hard, the height was just right, and it was very firm and elastic, like human thighs.
Li Chengqi almost jumped out of Xie Mingyue's arms.
But he had already slept all night, and now he was shy and seemed hypocritical, not to mention, Li Chengqi didn't really think about it.
Only two generations can sleep on Xie Hou's thigh once, and I don't know if there will be a next time. Li Chengqi feels that she should cherish this opportunity.
Xie Mingyue put down the memorial in her hand, and replied lightly: "It's getting late."
Li Chengqi coughed in embarrassment, and was about to say something, but his eyes went dark, and something fell lightly on his face.
Li Chengqi took it down.
It's a letter.
The seal is tight and it's clearly not removed.
"Whose one?" Li Chengqi raised the envelope and pointed it at the light.
"Prince Regent." Xie Mingyue replied.
Li Chengqi asked casually, "What did you write?"
"I don't know."
Li Chengqi lay on Xie Mingyue's lap, raised her head and smiled at him, "I really don't know?"
Hearing this, Xie Mingyue lowered her head, and her long hair fell onto Li Chengqi's face following his movements. The sober little emperor was not as dishonest as when he was drunk. Although he felt itchy and uncomfortable, he didn't reach out to touch Xie Mingyue's hair "I don't know." Xie Mingyue replied again, "The prince wrote a letter to His Majesty, how could I know what to write?"
Hair brushed Li Chengqi's eyes, and he closed them subconsciously.
The red mole was gorgeous, a glare that even black hair couldn't hide.
Xie Mingyue raised her head and brushed her long hair behind her shoulders, "I'm sorry."
Li Chengqi slowly opened her eyes.
Xie Mingyue's long hair was seldom seen by Li Chengqi, she only saw it a few times when she stayed in Xie's mansion, his appearance was quite leisurely, and Li Chengqi resisted the itchy desire to touch it.
"Mister just sat like this all night?" Li Chengqi suddenly realized the reason why Xie Mingyue's hair was in a bun and her clothes were messy, and she asked a little guilty.
Xie Mingyue looked at him with a smile.
This is the default.
Li Chengqi clenched her fist, put it to her lips and coughed a few times, and said, "Where's Mr.'s crown and hairpin?"
Xie Mingyue showed a bit of distress, "The hair crown is still there, but the hairpin has fallen somewhere."
Xie Mingyue is extremely meticulous. Even after killing someone, she would take out a handkerchief and carefully wipe off the blood on the blade. Li Chengqi and Xie Mingyue have known each other for more than ten years, and any documents that pass through Xie Mingyue's hands will never be lost.
No matter where it is placed, Xie Mingyue can find it, let alone the hairpin that was just pulled out last night.
But if the person who put the hairpin wasn't Xie Mingyue, it would be hard to say.
"Sir, why are you so...so careless." Although Li Chengqi thought she was cheeky, she was very unassuming when she said this.
Xie Mingyue nodded docilely.
Seeing Xie Mingyue's attitude, Li Chengqi felt a little guilty when she saw his disheveled hair, and finally couldn't help but said: "You took it away?"
What happened last night, he only brought out the wine to Xie Che, and Xie Mingyue had dinner with him, but Li Chengqi had no memory of what happened afterwards.
Xie Mingyue answered irrelevantly, "Your Majesty is the king of a country, whatever His Majesty wants, it should be His Majesty's."
But after all, it was his first time drinking, and Li Chengqi didn't know what he could do. Seeing that Xie Mingyue's temples were disheveled, and hearing his vague words, she immediately took the hairpin picker as herself.
"Gu," Li Chengqi glanced at Xie Mingyue's face, the latter looked calm, with a smile in his eyes, obviously in a happy mood, "Mr. Gu compensates for a new one."
Xie Mingyue seemed in a good mood.
So Gu shouldn't have done anything.Li Chengqi thought to herself.
Xie Mingyue nodded and chuckled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Lonely yesterday, I probably didn't do anything other than pull out Mr.'s hairpin." His eyes fell on Xie Mingyue's messy clothes. When he woke up, he was still wondering when Xie Mingyue's clothes were opened so high, but now they are all gone. Understood, he lowered his voice as he spoke, and laughed dryly, "There's nothing else to do."
Although he loves Xie Mingyue's complexion, it shouldn't be to the point of being immoral after drinking... He looked at Xie Mingyue's beautiful face that was somewhat transparent in the sunlight, and it seemed that it was not impossible.
Xie Mingyue took a deep look at him, and the emotions in her eyes were too complicated for Li Chengqi to express.
Li Chengqi's heart skipped a beat.
"No." Xie Mingyue straightened his collar under his increasingly flustered gaze, and replied softly.
You don't look like you have nothing, Xuandu.he said in his heart.
But Xie Mingyue was happy to pretend to be stupid if he didn't pursue him. Li Chengqi smiled shyly at Xie Mingyue, picked up the letter that he had neglected for a long time, and was still thinking about what kind of hairpin to give to Xie Mingyue.
clouds?moon?Or a plain hairpin?
Li Chengqi tore open the envelope.
He twirled his fingers and realized that there were patterns on the envelope.
But he was full of hairpins, and he didn't care about Li Yan's little thought.
He had made quite a few hairpins before, but none of them were made for men. Tomorrow, when he returned to the palace and had nothing to do, he might as well make one for Xie Mingyue.
He took out the letter and shook it open in the air.
The color of the paper was plain and unremarkable, but following Li Chengqi's movements, the paper bent and unfolded, casting a graceful glow.
"Wang Yifu's Xiaguang paper." Xie Mingyue glanced at the radiant letter paper and said indifferently.
Li Yan has always liked to pay attention to small things.
Li Chengqi nodded, not very much.
He glanced at the past, and there were some respectful but paper-based polite words in front of him. In the middle, he lifted the Frost Blade he gave him, and asked if he could be liked by His Majesty. At the end, he said that Li Chengqi's 19th birthday was coming. I will come back within half a month to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
Li Chengqi folded the letter paper with two fingers, and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you know what the prince said in the letter?"
Xie Mingyue didn't seem to want to know much, but she still cooperated with Li Chengqi and said, "I don't know."
"The lord said that in order to celebrate Gu's birthday, he should come back earlier." Li Chengqi frowned unconsciously, but immediately opened up again, "It's not five, not ten. The lord attaches so much importance to Gu, but Gu doesn't understand."
"This is His Majesty's first birthday in Beijing, the prince naturally attaches great importance to it." Xie Mingyue responded politely.
Li Chengqi nodded, and suddenly said: "Does that matter, sir?"
Xie Mingyue took the letter paper that Li Chengqi threw back and forth, put it in the envelope properly, and replied gently: "I value it." The topic changed, "Does Your Majesty want to enter this letter into the study?"
Li Chengqi waved his hand, there was nothing confidential in the letter, and there was really no need to enter it in the study, but with his current status, if Li Yan really confessed his heart in the letter, he would be surprised, "Sir, decide."
With the sound of birds chirping, Li Chengqi got up from Xie Mingyue's lap and squeezed her sore neck.
Suddenly, Xie Mingyue felt a lot lighter on her lap, and Xie Mingyue seemed a little unaccustomed to it, her eyes dimmed slightly, she put the letter aside, and continued to read the memorial.
The next moment, the memorial was taken away by the little emperor.
A young man's sly smile appeared in front of his eyes.
"It's really hard for Mr. to stay up all night to take care of Gu." Li Chengqi packed the stack of memorials, jumped off the bed barefoot, turned her head and smiled at Xie Mingyue: "Sir, you should have a good sleep."
He found something wrong.
Who took off his boots and... clothes?
The author says:
Some materials in the article quote "Qin History" and "Night Sailing Ship"
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Xie Mingyue opened her eyes.
Li Chengqi was close at hand, and the young man was sleeping in his arms defenselessly, with a white and slender neck, as if he could be strangled to death with a light hand, no more difficult than picking a flower.
Xie Mingyue hesitated and stretched out her hand—to wrap around Li Chengqi's waist.
Slender and flexible, like a willow branch that has just been twirled.
Xie Mingyue lowered her eyes, and carefully carried the young man onto the bed.
Xie Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and took off the boy's boots, and gently placed them beside the bed.
The little emperor's feet were snow-white, because he went out to play all day, he was no longer neatly dressed in the morning, and hung crookedly on his feet. Xie Mingyue hesitated for a moment, reached out and pulled off the ribbon on the feet, and squeezed the feet with four fingers. Carefully took off the skirt from Li Chengqi's feet.

In fact, the most labor-saving way right now is to ask the palace servants to come in to change Li Chengqi's clothes, but he is unwilling.

The young man is full of blood, his lips are rosy, and there is a faint glow of moisture, which is different from another person's long-term illness, weakness and pale vitality.
Xie Mingyue's eyes darkened.
Is not it good?

He stood up quietly, straightened the robes that were messed up by Li Chengqi, and walked out with a normal expression.

He suddenly didn't want to leave.
Xie Mingyue felt that it was not that she was not determined enough, Li Chengqi said that his mind could not be changed, as long as Xie Mingyue made up his mind to do something, no matter what, no matter what he paid, Xie Mingyue would finally make it happen.
Not tonight.
Because Li Chengqi grabbed a corner of his robe.
Xie Mingyue didn't know whether to blame the hem of the dress for being too long, or to blame herself for wearing it.

Xie Mingyue stepped forward, bent down, and was about to free her clothes from Li Chengqi's hands.
Li Chengqi murmured: "Thank you Xuandu."
Xie Mingyue paused.
The word "little emperor" is so light that it almost falls apart before it comes out of the lips and teeth.
"Your Majesty?" Xie Mingyue called out uncertainly.
"Xuandu..." Li Chengqi's voice was hoarse and gloomy, not like that of a teenager, "Don't..."
Xie Mingyue bowed, trying to get closer to Li Chengqi, and then closer.
I'm afraid no one will believe me when I say it, but Xie Mingyue sometimes listens to people talking and is so nervous that she dare not even catch her breath.
"Don't go." The little emperor whispered.
The voice was extremely hesitant, as if he was a little unwilling, but more, it was a plea as if he had grasped a life-saving straw regardless.
Xie Mingyue stood there motionless.
Uncontrollable ecstasy welled up in his heart, almost making him lose his sanity.
Only then did he take a breath, and his breathing was so heavy that even he himself was surprised.
Xie Mingyue gently sat next to Li Chengqi, the little emperor seemed to have heard the sound of cloth being rubbed in his dream, and let go of Xie Mingyue's wrinkled poor clothes. .
As soon as Xie Mingyue stretched out her hand, Li Chengqi grabbed it.
Xie Mingyue froze.
The sleeping little emperor still didn't realize it, and rubbed Xie Mingyue's thigh even harder.
If he had a little bit of consciousness, he would find that all the muscles in Xie Mingyue's body were as stiff as a rock.
"What do you think of?" Xie Mingyue heard herself speak, her voice hissed, like a dying traveler who has been in the desert for days and nights without drinking water.

His voice was broken, but he was still aloof, but he still couldn't let go of his imperial majesty. He said: "Xie Xuandu... I can't help you," tears rolled down his face, almost wet Xie Mingyue's shoulders, "Don't Walk."
That night, Li Chengqi was not secretive, and Li Chengqi would mention it jokingly, praising Mingyue for her calmness when facing important events. He, the emperor, was frightened, but Xie Mingyue was calm.
Of course Li Chengqi didn't know, before hugging him back, when Xie Mingyue stretched out her hand, her whole body was trembling.

But... are you really worried about the safety of the emperor?
He just got up the courage to take a step forward.
There are guards everywhere in the palace, and Xie Mingyue personally sent the little emperor back, so what is there to worry about?
Are you really worried?
Xie Che asked himself.
It's hard to describe his state of mind, the battle between heaven and man was fierce in his mind, the bedroom was so quiet that a needle could be heard, the only thing Xie Che could hear clearly at this moment was his own breathing, he took a deep breath, and walked inside.
There is not even a waiter in the inner hall, the candles are all extinguished, the windows on all sides are only half opened, the moonlight shines in through the gaps, and the ground is full of brilliance.
The bed net wasn't completely put down, only a layer of tulle was dropped to keep out the wind.
The person in the tent has a slender figure, even when he is kneeling and sitting, his waist is not bent down a bit, and through the light-colored tulle, it seems to be covered by the moonlight.
The cold wind blew past, Xie Che only felt a little shivering from the cold, and most of the wine was sober.
With Xie Mingyue's Xijie, would he let a student who had known him not long ago and didn't have such a deep relationship lie on his lap?
Even, even if the little emperor is drunk...
Xie Mingyue raised her eyelids when she heard the voice, Xie Che came quietly but didn't need to report, one can see that the Xie family is powerful, and the palace people dare not offend; two, the emperor really trusts him, Xie Che came to Li Chengqi's bedroom, familiar with the road, he whispered Asked: "What's the matter?"
"I, I don't trust Your Majesty," Xie Che said in a very difficult way. He could only hear his own voice, but he didn't know what he was talking about. "So let's take a look."
Xie Mingyue smiled at Xie Che.
Li Chengqi felt uncomfortable when Xie Mingyue's hair rubbed against her face again, so she pushed it away with her hand, using too much force, Xie Mingyue hissed in pain, grabbed Li Chengqi's wrist, pressed it on her leg, and said: "I'm here , nothing to worry about."
"Yes." Even if he couldn't see it, Xie Che could feel his forced smile, "Master Hou is here, naturally there is nothing to worry about."
Xie Che's footsteps were flimsy, and there was no real feeling when stepping on the stone slab, but it was like stepping on a cloud.
"Young Lord, Young Lord." Seeing his blank expression, the palace man couldn't help calling a few more times in a soft voice.
Xie Che came back to his senses.
When did I come out?
he thought dazedly.
The palace man said worriedly: "Young Master, it's cold at night, stand on the wind vent and be careful of catching cold."
Xie Che nodded lightly, and Fang felt a splitting headache when the wind blew.
He hissed and couldn't help rubbing his forehead.
Just now he saw... Li Chengqi pillowed on Xie Mingyue's lap?
Xie Che walked out without a trace of his body.
A palace man carried a lantern to guide him.
The light illuminated a small area in front of him.
Xie Che still felt dazed, just now, was it the illusion that he had drunk too much?
……
The next day, the sky was bright.
Li Chengqi's eyelids moved.
He felt that his whole body was heavy, but the Lingtai was clear, and although the fish wine was strong, it didn't give anyone a headache after drinking it.
Li Chengqi took a low breath and opened his eyes.
Unprepared, he saw the man's slightly open neckline. He fell into a dazed sleep, subconsciously looked up, and saw a section of snow-like neck, with his Adam's apple rolling slightly, like a ghost, Li Chengqi's eyes stuck to it and did not move.
Xie Mingyue lowered her head.
Li Chengqi was caught off guard and met Xie Mingyue's pale eyes.
Clear, gentle eyes, although faintly bloodshot around the eyes, they did not look distressed, on the contrary... they looked more like snakes.
Li Chengqi was ashamed to find that she stopped breathing for a moment when she looked into these beautiful and dangerous eyes.
But every part of Xie Mingyue's body has grown into the appearance that Li Chengqi admires the most.
"Sir," Li Chengqi said, and found that her voice was unbearably hoarse and low, not as clear as it used to be, "It's early." He said in embarrassment.
The feeling under the pillow was good, much more comfortable than the pillows he was resting on, neither soft nor hard, the height was just right, and it was very firm and elastic, like human thighs.
Li Chengqi almost jumped out of Xie Mingyue's arms.
But he had already slept all night, and now he was shy and seemed hypocritical, not to mention, Li Chengqi didn't really think about it.
Only two generations can sleep on Xie Hou's thigh once, and I don't know if there will be a next time. Li Chengqi feels that she should cherish this opportunity.
Xie Mingyue put down the memorial in her hand, and replied lightly: "It's getting late."
Li Chengqi coughed in embarrassment, and was about to say something, but his eyes went dark, and something fell lightly on his face.
Li Chengqi took it down.
It's a letter.
The seal is tight and it's clearly not removed.
"Whose one?" Li Chengqi raised the envelope and pointed it at the light.
"Prince Regent." Xie Mingyue replied.
Li Chengqi asked casually, "What did you write?"
"I don't know."
Li Chengqi lay on Xie Mingyue's lap, raised her head and smiled at him, "I really don't know?"
Hearing this, Xie Mingyue lowered her head, and her long hair fell onto Li Chengqi's face following his movements. The sober little emperor was not as dishonest as when he was drunk. Although he felt itchy and uncomfortable, he didn't reach out to touch Xie Mingyue's hair "I don't know." Xie Mingyue replied again, "The prince wrote a letter to His Majesty, how could I know what to write?"
Hair brushed Li Chengqi's eyes, and he closed them subconsciously.
The red mole was gorgeous, a glare that even black hair couldn't hide.
Xie Mingyue raised her head and brushed her long hair behind her shoulders, "I'm sorry."
Li Chengqi slowly opened her eyes.
Xie Mingyue's long hair was seldom seen by Li Chengqi, she only saw it a few times when she stayed in Xie's mansion, his appearance was quite leisurely, and Li Chengqi resisted the itchy desire to touch it.
"Mister just sat like this all night?" Li Chengqi suddenly realized the reason why Xie Mingyue's hair was in a bun and her clothes were messy, and she asked a little guilty.
Xie Mingyue looked at him with a smile.
This is the default.
Li Chengqi clenched her fist, put it to her lips and coughed a few times, and said, "Where's Mr.'s crown and hairpin?"
Xie Mingyue showed a bit of distress, "The hair crown is still there, but the hairpin has fallen somewhere."
Xie Mingyue is extremely meticulous. Even after killing someone, she would take out a handkerchief and carefully wipe off the blood on the blade. Li Chengqi and Xie Mingyue have known each other for more than ten years, and any documents that pass through Xie Mingyue's hands will never be lost.
No matter where it is placed, Xie Mingyue can find it, let alone the hairpin that was just pulled out last night.
But if the person who put the hairpin wasn't Xie Mingyue, it would be hard to say.
"Sir, why are you so...so careless." Although Li Chengqi thought she was cheeky, she was very unassuming when she said this.
Xie Mingyue nodded docilely.
Seeing Xie Mingyue's attitude, Li Chengqi felt a little guilty when she saw his disheveled hair, and finally couldn't help but said: "You took it away?"
What happened last night, he only brought out the wine to Xie Che, and Xie Mingyue had dinner with him, but Li Chengqi had no memory of what happened afterwards.
Xie Mingyue answered irrelevantly, "Your Majesty is the king of a country, whatever His Majesty wants, it should be His Majesty's."
But after all, it was his first time drinking, and Li Chengqi didn't know what he could do. Seeing that Xie Mingyue's temples were disheveled, and hearing his vague words, she immediately took the hairpin picker as herself.
"Gu," Li Chengqi glanced at Xie Mingyue's face, the latter looked calm, with a smile in his eyes, obviously in a happy mood, "Mr. Gu compensates for a new one."
Xie Mingyue seemed in a good mood.
So Gu shouldn't have done anything.Li Chengqi thought to herself.
Xie Mingyue nodded and chuckled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Lonely yesterday, I probably didn't do anything other than pull out Mr.'s hairpin." His eyes fell on Xie Mingyue's messy clothes. When he woke up, he was still wondering when Xie Mingyue's clothes were opened so high, but now they are all gone. Understood, he lowered his voice as he spoke, and laughed dryly, "There's nothing else to do."
Although he loves Xie Mingyue's complexion, it shouldn't be to the point of being immoral after drinking... He looked at Xie Mingyue's beautiful face that was somewhat transparent in the sunlight, and it seemed that it was not impossible.
Xie Mingyue took a deep look at him, and the emotions in her eyes were too complicated for Li Chengqi to express.
Li Chengqi's heart skipped a beat.
"No." Xie Mingyue straightened his collar under his increasingly flustered gaze, and replied softly.
You don't look like you have nothing, Xuandu.he said in his heart.
But Xie Mingyue was happy to pretend to be stupid if he didn't pursue him. Li Chengqi smiled shyly at Xie Mingyue, picked up the letter that he had neglected for a long time, and was still thinking about what kind of hairpin to give to Xie Mingyue.
clouds?moon?Or a plain hairpin?
Li Chengqi tore open the envelope.
He twirled his fingers and realized that there were patterns on the envelope.
But he was full of hairpins, and he didn't care about Li Yan's little thought.
He had made quite a few hairpins before, but none of them were made for men. Tomorrow, when he returned to the palace and had nothing to do, he might as well make one for Xie Mingyue.
He took out the letter and shook it open in the air.
The color of the paper was plain and unremarkable, but following Li Chengqi's movements, the paper bent and unfolded, casting a graceful glow.
"Wang Yifu's Xiaguang paper." Xie Mingyue glanced at the radiant letter paper and said indifferently.
Li Yan has always liked to pay attention to small things.
Li Chengqi nodded, not very much.
He glanced at the past, and there were some respectful but paper-based polite words in front of him. In the middle, he lifted the Frost Blade he gave him, and asked if he could be liked by His Majesty. At the end, he said that Li Chengqi's 19th birthday was coming. I will come back within half a month to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
Li Chengqi folded the letter paper with two fingers, and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you know what the prince said in the letter?"
Xie Mingyue didn't seem to want to know much, but she still cooperated with Li Chengqi and said, "I don't know."
"The lord said that in order to celebrate Gu's birthday, he should come back earlier." Li Chengqi frowned unconsciously, but immediately opened up again, "It's not five, not ten. The lord attaches so much importance to Gu, but Gu doesn't understand."
"This is His Majesty's first birthday in Beijing, the prince naturally attaches great importance to it." Xie Mingyue responded politely.
Li Chengqi nodded, and suddenly said: "Does that matter, sir?"
Xie Mingyue took the letter paper that Li Chengqi threw back and forth, put it in the envelope properly, and replied gently: "I value it." The topic changed, "Does Your Majesty want to enter this letter into the study?"
Li Chengqi waved his hand, there was nothing confidential in the letter, and there was really no need to enter it in the study, but with his current status, if Li Yan really confessed his heart in the letter, he would be surprised, "Sir, decide."
With the sound of birds chirping, Li Chengqi got up from Xie Mingyue's lap and squeezed her sore neck.
Suddenly, Xie Mingyue felt a lot lighter on her lap, and Xie Mingyue seemed a little unaccustomed to it, her eyes dimmed slightly, she put the letter aside, and continued to read the memorial.
The next moment, the memorial was taken away by the little emperor.
A young man's sly smile appeared in front of his eyes.
"It's really hard for Mr. to stay up all night to take care of Gu." Li Chengqi packed the stack of memorials, jumped off the bed barefoot, turned her head and smiled at Xie Mingyue: "Sir, you should have a good sleep."
He found something wrong.
Who took off his boots and... clothes?
