my lord is sick

When Xiao Chengzhou smiled, Xie Yan was afraid.

Xie Yan held back the trembling in his heart, and blinked nervously: "I, did I say something wrong?"

"No, you're right." Xiao Chengzhou smiled, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face, but it was a biting cold wind in Xie Yan's place.

A group of people walked to the meditation room in the front yard.

Xie Yan really wanted to stay away from Xiao Chengzhou, but thinking that his life might be in the hands of the other party, he could only force himself to grit his teeth and sit behind Xiao Chengzhou.

To Xie Yan, listening to the Master lecture on Buddhism was a very boring thing. Apart from the Master, there were only Xiao Chengzhou and him in the meditation room.Xiao Chengzhou listened intently, Xie Yan yawned one after another, it was hard for people not to pay attention.

Fortunately, the mage has a good temper, and he understands the temperament of these nobles very well, so he is no stranger to it.

Xiao Chengzhou didn't say anything.

In the morning, Xie Yan almost fell asleep. After listening to the meditation, it was Xiao Chengzhou who woke him up.Xie Yan came out of the meditation room with sleepy eyes, and immediately woke up after he went out. He stretched his waist on the spot, turned around and saw Xiao Chengzhou, quickly retracted his hands and stood up, scratched his cheek in embarrassment, and explained: "I I didn't fall asleep on purpose..."

In fact, the voice of the mage muttered, it was so good to sleep!

Xiao Chengzhou didn't seem to care about Xie Yan's explanation, besides, Xie Yan didn't need to explain anything to Xiao Chengzhou.Xie Yan knew that Xiao Chengzhou was going back to his room after listening to the meditation, so he said before Xiao Chengzhou could speak: "My lord, do you have time today? I'll treat you to a drink!"

Xie Yan is really simple and rude, he also wanted to figure it out slowly, but his mother told him that the matter of Gu worms needs to be clarified as soon as possible, so we can't waste too much time.What Xie Yan thought was to get Xiao Chengzhou drunk when he invited him to drink, and then he could take off his clothes to see if there was a red mole on his chest.

Xie Yan had a good idea, but Xiao Chengzhou smiled and shook his head, "Not today."

"Then tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?"

These proposals were all rejected by Xiao Chengzhou, because he was a vegetarian during this time, Xiao Chengzhou said: "Need to quit drinking."

Xie Yan said, "Then when can you drink?"

"After the Queen Mother's birthday." Xiao Chengzhou said.

It's the Empress Dowager's birthday, so I have to go there a month later, how could Xie Yan wait so long, seeing that getting drunk was not an option, Xie Yan was so disappointed that his whole face wrinkled.

Xiao Chengzhou smiled and asked, "Why did you invite me to drink?"

Xie Yan was at a loss for words for a while, "Because, because I hit it off with the prince!"

"Really?" Xiao Chengzhou smiled lowly, his downcast eyes made it hard to see the expression in them.

He laughed again!Why does he love to laugh so much!Xie Yan shivered, wishing he could hug his arms to give himself some warmth.

The two of them were talking and walking towards the small courtyard, after that Xie Yan almost ran away, as soon as they arrived at his own courtyard, he couldn't wait to enter the house.

Kong Qing looked at the door that was closed with a bang, and said strangely: "What is this Young Master Xie's plan? He seems to be very afraid of you, but he keeps coming to your side."

Xiao Chengzhou smiled and didn't speak, his eyes stayed on the door. I don't know what he thought of, his eyes went far away for a moment, and then he quickly came back to his senses, and the familiar smile returned to his eyes. Indifference and alienation.

"Let's go." Xiao Chengzhou said.

The three returned to the yard, as quiet as ever.

Here, Xie Yan was lying on the table, patting his face in frustration. It seemed that he had escaped too clearly just now... He thought of something, called the little Tong Tiandong who was in charge of running errands, and ordered: "Go to the city. Find a painter with top-notch painting skills, and let him paint a portrait of King Cheng for me."

Nan Xing was puzzled and said, "Master, why do you want the portrait of King Cheng? Isn't this something that those in the capital who admire King Cheng like to do? Why don't you..."

"Bah! Whoever loves King Cheng is like them!" Xie Yan knocked on Nan Xing's head angrily, and told Tiandong: "Tell the painter that if you want to draw King Cheng's smile, the brighter the smile will be. , The more gentle the better, you must remember, if you are not brilliant or gentle, this young master will not give you money."

Xiao Chengzhou's portrait is not difficult to find among the people.Don't look at Xie Yan being terrified of Xiao Chengzhou, those aristocratic women in the capital who don't understand Xiao Chengzhou's nature like him very much.There was once a noble woman who fell in love with Xiao Chengzhou but failed, so she invited many painters home and painted many portraits of Xiao Chengzhou and put them at home. Later, other women followed suit, so all the painters in Kyoto who are good at painting portraits are basically for others. Painted a portrait of Xiao Chengzhou.

"I understand." Tian Dong took the errand and left immediately.

The matter of meeting Xiao Chengzhou for dinner and drinking failed, so Xie Yan didn't intend to torture himself to continue listening to Zen. He asked the boy who was in charge of the gate, Dijin, to continue guarding the door, and called the remaining two boys to do this and that. gave an order.

In the next few days, Xie Yan would go out for a stroll every day when Xiao Chengzhou was out, say hello to Xiao Chengzhou and get acquainted, and the rest of the time would stay in the small courtyard and grow grass.And the portrait of Xiao Chengzhou that he wanted was delivered soon.

When Xie Yan unfolded the canvas, he was really taken aback.

The outline of the person in the portrait seems to be carefully carved, with a handsome face.If you only look at his eyes, you can feel a strong aggression in his eyes when you look at him, but this aggression is completely concealed by the corners of his raised mouth and curved eyebrows.In the end, there was only a gentle, modest and handsome young man standing on the canvas.

Xie Yan murmured: "This painter has amazing skills..."

This painter has drawn things that others can't perceive, and the upturned corners of the mouth and the curved arcs of the eyebrows are all expressed just right.Anything more is false; anything less is indifferent.This seemingly simple but extremely difficult little detail is the essence of the whole painting, which fully expresses the hidden and external characteristics of Xiao Chengzhou.

Looking into Xiao Chengzhou's eyes, Xie Yan suddenly shivered, and threw the scroll to Nan Xing, "Find a place to hang it up."

"Where to hang it?" Nan Xing said.

Xie Yan frowned and looked around the room, and finally gave up, pointing to the bed where he slept: "Hanging in the middle of the bed."

When he stayed in this temple, he mostly stayed on the bed to pass the time, and hung the painting in the middle of the bed, so he could see it when he looked up.Xie Yan was really afraid of seeing Xiao Chengzhou's smile, but how can this be done!He is the young master Xie who is not afraid of anything!So Xie Yan decided to fight poison with poison, just read more and get used to it!Never have to be afraid of him again!

Xie Yan thought his method was very beautiful, but Nan Xing, who hung the picture for him, didn't think so, and muttered in a low voice, "I can't help but hang it on the head of the bed, and even said it's different from them..."

Nan Xing didn't know the real purpose of Xie Yan's trip to Yunxu Temple, so suddenly seeing his young master try every means to get close to King Cheng, and to be able to see King Cheng's portrait at any time, no wonder he would think too much.

When Xie Yan was attacking Xiao Chengzhou's portrait with poison, Kong Qing was reporting to Xiao Chengzhou in the courtyard next door: "The subordinates have been following for a few days and found that they brought back a portrait of you."

Xiao Chengzhou sat behind the desk and looked down at the book, "My portrait?"

"Yes..." Kong Qing had a strange expression on his face, "Hung on his bed by Master Xie."

"On the bed?" Xiao Chengzhou finally raised his head, his expression somewhat astonished.

Kong Qing was about to say that Xie Yan's behavior was weird, but then he saw that Xiao Chengzhou had thought of something, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

Kong Qing was stunned for a moment, he had followed Xiao Chengzhou for many years, and knew that most of the time, Xiao Chengzhou's smile was masked, and it was really too difficult to see such a genuine and happy smile from the heart.

Xiao Chengzhou smiled, "Portrait... let him go."

"Yes." Kong Qing replied with his head down, "As for Master Xie's two little boys, they have come to look for my subordinates and Chang Shan these days, and they are said to invite them to drink and eat."

Xiao Chengzhou flipped the pages of the book, pursed his lips and said, "Next time they come to look for it, you and Chang Shan agreed."

Kong Qing said: "This subordinate understands."

On this day, Xie Yan received a report from Xiao Tong, saying that they had successfully fooled away the two bodyguards of Xiao Chengzhou.

Xie Yan clenched his fist and said, "The opportunity has finally come!"

At first, Nan Xing thought that his young master really came to pray for the Eldest Princess, but after his young master came, he did nothing and just stared at King Cheng every day.Nan Xing said nervously, "Master, what are you going to do?"

Xie Yan glanced at him, "You will know in the evening."

It was just getting dark.

A guard left from Xiao Chengzhou's room.After a while, Xiao Chengzhou came out and entered the bathroom next to him.

Xie Yan hid behind the screen next to the tub, trying to huddle himself into a ball without making any movement.

This was planned by Xie Yan for several days. Since getting drunk is not enough, the fastest way is to take a peek at Xiao Chengzhou while he is taking a shower.He observed that at about this time every day, monks would bring hot water, several barrels, which seemed to be for bathing.Xie Yan asked his own boy to fool Xiao Chengzhou's guards, and after several days of fooling him, he finally succeeded, and he had the chance to sneak in.

Xie Yan had been hiding in the bathroom for a long time, and the monks who brought the water and the attendants who came in and out of the bathroom didn't notice him.Looking at an inconspicuous hole that had been poked out by him on the screen, Xie Yan felt complacent, thinking that he was really smart. When Xiao Chengzhou took off his clothes later, he would hold this small hole and look out, and he would definitely be able to see Xiao Chengzhou clearly. Is there a red mole on her chest?

There was the rustling sound of fabric from outside, and then with a "swish", a piece of clothing was draped on the screen.

Xiao Chengzhou started to take off his clothes!

Xie Yan's eyes lit up, he turned around cautiously, squinted one eye and leaned in front of Xiaodong, watching quietly.But the picture that fell into view was only Xiao Chengzhou's broad and strong back.

"Why don't you turn around!" Xie Yan was anxious in his heart, and put all his strength on the small hole, as if he could see through Xiao Chengzhou's back and see his front.

With a sound of "shua", another coat flew over and put it on the screen, but it happened to cover half of the small hole that Xie Yan dug out.

Xie Yan: "!"

How can he see it like this!

Xie Yan tried to pull the clothes, but the sound was a bit loud as soon as he pulled it, so he didn't dare to pull it any more.Angrily, Xie Yan continued to stick to the small hole, half of his vision was covered, it seemed really difficult, but fortunately, Xiao Chengzhou no longer turned his back to him, and turned his body sideways, unfortunately Yes, I still can't see the side that needs to be confirmed.

Xie Yan scratched his ears and cheeks behind the screen, tried his best to change the angle of peeping, and repeatedly moved closer to the screen, sticking to it, his whole body pressed against the screen without knowing it, and then the screen finally couldn't bear his weight, It fell down with a crash!

"Ouch!" The screen fell to the ground, Xie Yan fell out, staggered a few steps and threw himself directly into the bathtub.

Xie Yan fell into the water in a panic, water got into his eyes, he threw his hands up in the bathtub.Xiao Chengzhou looked funny, and reached out to pull him, but Xiao Chengzhou didn't pull him up, but was brought into the bathtub by the panicked Xie Yan.

Xie Yan took a few sips of water and felt that he was about to drown. It wasn't until someone grabbed his waist and wiped off the water on his face that Xie Yan panted for breath and calmed down. He blinked his eyes twice quickly, and then Frozen, met Xiao Chengzhou's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

In the tub, Xiao Chengzhou leaned against the tub, holding Xie Yan's waist with both hands, while Xie Yan knelt on his waist, with his hands resting on his chest, in an ambiguous posture.Xia's clothes were thin, and Xie Yan was drenched all over, revealing the slightly green lines of the young body.

Xiao Chengzhou's hand on Xie Yan's waist moved unconsciously, his fingertips were warm, and the unique faint temperature of the skin seemed to be scalding suddenly.
