Shadow Guard stand-in

The battle reports from the frontline were spread to Xijing one after another. He Jue was not idle these days, and the cabinet discussed several times until dawn.Fortunately, Qi Lezhi's strategizing did not allow the Northern Qi to take advantage of it. They approached Yushi Pass for a while, but the latest report said that the border guards were ready to attack Yushi Pass. Days will bear fruit.

He Jue knew that Qi Lezhi was not a boastful person, since he could let him wait for the result in the report, he must be full of confidence.

The dark clouds of the past few days finally cleared up a bit, He Jue pulled out from the backlog of government affairs and state affairs, and suddenly found that the days passed quickly.The Hall of Qinzheng had already been heated for floor heating, and he also wrapped himself in a jacket. It was winter, and the weather was getting colder every day.

After leaving the Hall of Qinzheng, the cold wind blows directly on the face and penetrates into the neck. The winter in the Southern Tang Dynasty is not as cold as that in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, today is the winter solstice. According to the old rules, we have to eat dumplings." Zhang Fu reminded.

"It's already the winter solstice?" He Jue thought vaguely, "What is Jin Jiuye doing these days, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Zhang Fu said with a smile: "Master Yingwei is in the imperial dining room, making dumplings for Your Majesty."

"Make dumplings?" He Jue inevitably remembered the bowl of tomato and egg drop soup back then. He didn't drink a couple of sips at the time, but he had diarrhea for two days later, so he secretly endured it and didn't tell Jin Jiuye about it.But regarding Jin Jiuye's cooking, He Jue had lingering fears. Hearing Zhang Fu's words now, he had only one thought, can the dumplings made by Jin Jiuye be eaten?

Not long after, the man in black came to Qinzheng Hall with a food box.When the two arrived at the dining table, He Jue stared at the food box, his heart pounding, can we eat it?Can I eat it?Do I still have to eat it?

Jin Jiuye didn't notice He Jue's thoughts, so he brought out two large plates of cooked dumplings and two dishes of dipping sauce, and handed them to He Jue with chopsticks.

Holding the chopsticks, He Jue held the steaming, delicious-looking dumpling in front of his eyes, unable to put his hands down at all.

Jin Jiuye asked, "What's wrong?"

He Jue forced a smile, "You did it all?"

"Yes." Jin Jiuye was already hungry, but He Jue couldn't move unless he moved his chopsticks first, so he could only look at He Jue, "Master, eat quickly."

That way, it really looks like a big dog wagging its tail waiting for its owner to feed it.

He Jue resigned to his fate, picked up a dumpling, stuffed it into his mouth, and was waiting for his taste buds to be hit violently. He was even prepared to swallow it with all his might, but he didn't expect that...it was delicious ?

He Jue's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jin Jiuye in disbelief. The man didn't care what his mood was. When the master moved his chopsticks, he stuffed three or four of them into his mouth immediately, revealing his voracious nature.

"In the past two months, your cooking skills have improved a lot!" He Jue couldn't help but praise, then picked up another one, dipped it in the seasoning, and put it in his mouth...

Unprepared!He vomited uncontrollably, his face turning green.

"You made this dipping sauce?" He Jue grimaced, unable to swallow it.

Jin Jiuye raised his head in the midst of his busy schedule, "Well, it's a subordinate."

He Jue held back for a while, couldn't help pouring tea, and swallowed it whole.After a while, after recovering, Jin Jiuye had already eaten about a dozen of them, half of the plate was empty, and all of them were stuffed into his mouth without any seasoning.

He Jue immediately understood that this kid clearly knew that the dipping sauce was not edible, so he didn't remind me.

"Okay, you, my Lord Shadow Guard, you deliberately cheated me!" He Jue glared at Jin Jiuye angrily, Jin Jiuye looked at his master innocently, his dark eyes were so clean that there were no impurities .

He Jue lost his temper, and reached out to pinch the man's cheek, "I'm getting more courageous, and my cooking skills haven't improved, so I still use it to show off."

His tone was indulgent, and he wasn't really angry.

Jin Jiuye blinked, "Master, are you in a good mood today?"

He Jue pointed to the dumplings on the plate again and asked, "You really made this, because of your cooking skills?"

Jin Jiuye was silent for a while, and said, "The stuffing was chopped by my subordinates."

"Oh, sure enough." He Jue had a look of knowing this, "You can also use a knife, and the stuffing is fine, delicate and elastic."

"Pi'er is kneaded by Mr. Wu, and the flavor of stuffing is also adjusted by him..."

"How many times have you chopped the knife?" He Jue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How dare you say you made the dumplings yourself?"

Jin Jiuye disagreed, "The subordinates also wrapped a few, but they were not in good shape, and I ate them myself."

"Oh, it's a pity that I didn't taste it. How did you wrap it?" He Jue asked curiously.

Jin Jiuye buried his head, "It's not pretty."

"I know it's not good-looking, but I just want to ask how bad it is."

The man buried his head even lower, "Don't ask, master."

The voice was small, as if there was a tinge of grievance, He Jue smiled cheerfully, looked at the man for a long time, and felt boundless love in his heart.

"Brother Ye, I feel like you've changed a little bit." Over two months passed by, He Jue was busy with government affairs and rarely had time to spend time with Jin Jiuye, Jin Jiuye's injury was healed very much, Except for the serious ones that have not yet shed their scabs, the others only leave a slight trace.

If he hadn't received the good news from Qi Lezhi today, he wouldn't have been able to concentrate on spending the winter solstice, but just staying with others like this, he calmed down and looked at Jin Jiuye.

I don't know when, this man seems to be more humane than before.

"What has changed in your subordinates?" Jin Jiuye asked seriously.

He Jue looked at him, as if he could see a little bit of concern in his eyes, "It's just a feeling."

Jin Jiuye was silent, He Jue thought about it again, "I can't tell."

A few days later, the battle report from the front came back again, and Qi Lezhi wrote in the memorial that Yushiguan was a great victory!He Jue was so happy that he feasted on the officials and gave the Qi family a lot of rewards.As the twelfth lunar month entered, the palace began to prepare for the New Year's Eve, and the houses of various aristocratic families also began to buy, and even the court meeting was suspended, except for the big court meeting once every ten days, which was the morning court every other day.Everyone was beaming and waiting for the new year, and the eldest princess even came to ask Qi Lezhi if he could return to Beijing before the year.

He Jue thought for a while before answering, Yushi Pass won't be repaired for long, probably in time for New Year's Eve.

The eldest princess returned to the mansion very happily, and He Jue thought of Jin Jiuye again, thinking that his imperial concubine canonization ceremony had not yet been held, and planned to hold one for him on the New Year's Day.But then I thought about the thought behind the book, why not wait until then to worship and get married in a fair manner, and hold a grand wedding with great vigor and vigor.

He Jue thought very well, and asked Jin Jiuye again, Jin Jiuye had no objection, "The subordinates all listen to the master."

"I told you before, don't call me master anymore."

Jin Jiuye was puzzled, "What's that called?"

He Jue smiled and said, "Call me by my name, okay?"

Jin Jiuye said, "I dare not."

"Brother Zhenjue, or Liulang, it's fine." He Jue stood side by side with Jin Jiuye, watching the snowflakes falling outside one by one, "The new year is coming soon, so nothing will happen again."

Jin Jiuye was silent, "Wait for Mr. Qi to come back."

"Well, just wait for Qi Lezhi to come back and give me some advice, so that I can teach those old men from aristocratic families not to stare at my sons and make fuss all day long." He Jue suddenly thought, "Didn't you think the same as them before? How has it changed now?"

"What changed?" Jin Jiuye asked.

He Jue smiled and said, "You didn't want to be my queen before."

Jin Jiuye thought for a while, "Is there?"

"Half a year ago, I was drunk and wrote an imperial edict for you to be the empress. You said it was wrong. How can you be justified in the future if you say that you are the crown prince?" gone?"

"No." Jin Jiuye wanted to say that he hadn't forgotten, but he couldn't explain why he didn't have the thought of refusing at the beginning, "Whatever the master wants the subordinate to do, the subordinate will do."

Hearing this, He Jue's teasing thoughts were drowned out by a basin of cold water again, "You, you are used to spoiling my mood."

There was nothing wrong with his tone, he was not as angry as he was at the beginning, so he just complained lightly and didn't say anything else.Those simple words, if you listen carefully, there is a bit of pampering.He told himself, don't worry, this life is so long, it will always warm up this person's heart.

Jin Jiuye looked at the snowy scenery outside, also thinking deeply, without saying a word.

On New Year's Eve, there was another banquet in the palace. As the end of the year was approaching, various banquets were busy. Jin Jiuye was coaxed by He Jue to attend several times, but he took the opportunity to leave first if he couldn't get used to it.

As soon as he left, He Jue and the younger generation of courtiers began to drink and have fun, and when they got drunk, they went back to Qinzheng Hall, and started to giggle when they saw Jin Jiuye.

"Brother, you have four eyes, two noses, and two mouths." He Jue reached out and pinched Jin Jiuye's face.

Jin Jiuye looked at it silently for a while, sighed, dragged him to the bed and lay down, and then told the palace servants to prepare hot water for washing, and after a brief wash, he threw him on the bed.

"Jin Jiuye, how dare you throw me away?" He Jue blamed the man aggrievedly, "I wiped my face just now, and I haven't said anything about you, it hurts so much!"

Jin Jiuye said: "The subordinates are strong, the master didn't know the first day, so pay attention next time."

"No, I'm in pain." He Jue was lying on the quilt, only wearing a jacket, the cold winter will soon be chilly, if it gets hot, it will be terrible.

But Jin Jiuye wanted to pull the quilt, but He Jue deliberately refused to let it go, "You hurt me."

Jin Jiuye was speechless, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen when he danced with knives and guns, but it didn't hurt to wipe his face and take a shower?

"Then what does the master want his subordinates to do?" Jin Jiuye was silent for a moment, and finally asked.

He Jue turned over, smiled and rolled his eyes, "It won't hurt if you want Brother Ye to kiss you." He pointed to his own face, and then realized something, "No, the kind that kisses and sticks out your tongue .”

Jin Jiuye stood silent and didn't move for a long time. He Jue couldn't wait any longer, and stared at the man with wide eyes, "Hurry up, I'm cold."

"..." Jin Jiuye had no choice but to lean down and peck the man's mouth, but as soon as he left, He Jue shouted dissatisfied: "No, I didn't stick out my tongue."

"Master, you have to show some face." Jin Jiuye's tone was not very good, and he was a little angry.But He Jue refused, and wanted to yell again, so the man simply dragged him up.

"Jin Jiuye, what are you doing? You are committing a crime and deceiving the emperor! You, you, you...you are not allowed to touch me!"

Regardless of what He Jue called, Jin Jiuye had no expression on his face, and simply pulled off the quilt neatly, stuffed the whole person into the quilt, and then lay down by himself.

In the end, I still didn't forget to help the person tuck the corner of the quilt, "Sleep, master."

He Jue snorted twice, "I don't have the energy right now, otherwise I will definitely fight you."

"That's up to you." Jin Jiuye didn't bother to talk nonsense to others, lay flat on his back, and closed his eyes.

But after a while, the person beside him became restless. There was a hand under the quilt secretly making small movements. He opened his eyes and looked at He Jue.

He Jue immediately closed his eyes and retracted his hands, as if I was sleeping and did nothing.But it didn't take long to pretend like this, and soon he secretly opened a slit to see Jin Jiuye's situation, who knew that he happened to meet a pair of dark eyes, and he quickly closed them again.

Jin Jiuye: "..."

When you close it, you think it's over, but He Jue is getting more and more weird, pretending to be nonchalant, and starting to make small movements under the quilt.

Jin Jiuye endured it, and finally couldn't help it: "Master, if you want to touch it, touch it openly."

He Jue suddenly opened his eyes, and glared at him angrily, "Why, do you think I'm sleeping with someone else's wife? Need to be sneaky? Huh, I tell you, I've endured it for a long time, and tonight I'm going to sleep with you!"

Jin Jiuye said, "Okay."

"You think I can't tell lies?" He Jue rolled onto Jin Jiuye's body, grabbed the man's shoulders, and said viciously, "I mean, I'm going to sleep with you, do you understand? It's not just about kissing and touching." but I want to use..."

He Jue got stuck and lay on Jin Jiuye's chest. He didn't say anything for a long time, but Jin Jiuye asked, "Master, what do you want?"

He Jue raised his face, his ears turned red, "I want to sleep, you have been thinking about it for a long time."

Jin Jiuye looked at He Jue seriously, "This subordinate also thought that the master wanted to sleep for a long time, so why didn't he sleep?"

Immediately, He Jue's face turned red, his chest thumped, and his breathing became rapid. He stared at the man for a long time, and then suddenly yelled, "Ah, my brother Ye... I'm going to..."

The monkey eagerly hugged the man up and down, like a wild horse running wild.But for a long time, He Jue became more and more anxious, and finally cried suddenly and stopped.

Jin Jiuye was at a loss, "Master?"

He Jue awkwardly buried his head in Jin Jiuye's neck, Jin Jiuye was even more puzzled, and patted He Jue's shoulder, He Jue simply turned around and slipped to the other side of the bed.

"What's the matter, master?" Jin Jiuye followed, leaning on He Jue's back, and asked softly, "Aren't you going to continue?"

After asking several times, He Jue finally said hesitatingly: "I'm too suffocated, I can't use it anymore."

Jin Jiuye understood instantly, and was silent for a moment indescribably.

"Master is too drunk." He whispered.

He Jue didn't listen, sobbing, he kept burying his face deeper, and finally got into the quilt, arching into a spherical shape.

Jin Jiuye patted his exposed hair, "It's okay, come back next time."

I don't know how long it took, but He Jue didn't make a sound, so Jin Jiuye secretly lifted the corner of the quilt over there, and when he saw that the person was fast asleep, he carefully moved the person out, laid it flat, put on his underwear, and then covered him tightly. Put the quilt on and make the other person sleep more comfortably.

After finishing all this, he also put on his underwear, lay down and continued to sleep.

A night without dreams.
