Chapter 111 Chapter One Hundred and Ten: There’s no way I won’t be ecstatic
The horse without its master screamed anxiously and bit Li Kong's arm.
Meng Keshu was no longer as weak and bullied as before, and struggled hard. Li Kong, who was holding the reins with one hand and holding her with the other, could not control her, and she took advantage of the opportunity and jumped off his horse.
"Little Moon!"
The road was uneven, and Meng Keshu's body tilted violently, and she almost twisted her legs. However, she endured the excruciating pain and quickly climbed onto her horse, leaving Li Kong's call behind her.
Li Kong did not catch up again.
After her back hurriedly disappeared around the corner, he grabbed her hand and slapped himself hard several times.
The Queen's Mansion.
There was a big court meeting tomorrow. Xiao Qi urged Wei Huaien three or four times before coaxing her from the study to the bedroom. But as soon as she lay down, Wei Huaien sat up again, moved the bedside table to the bed, and wrote on the paper by candlelight.
draw.
Xiao Qi knew that she must have remembered something that she had omitted, so she had to get up and seriously correct the deduction. But even he was sleepy after running around all day. He didn't believe that she would be able to get up happily tomorrow if she kept going through it like this.
Wei Huaien, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly felt a weight on her legs, and she had to lower her head to look at Xiao Qi, who was pillowing her arms.
"Sleep and think about it tomorrow."
Xiao Qi stopped talking nonsense, pulled off her right hand and pressed it to her lips, making it impossible for her to write anymore.
A few days later there was a palace banquet to welcome the Monan envoy. Wei Huai'en had just figured out how to cause trouble for those aristocratic families, and didn't want to be interrupted by him, so he pushed him off his lap.
"Stop making trouble. Didn't you still think that I dirty my hands by touching the oiran in Haoyue Tower? I don't dare to touch you."
Xiao Qi really lay back on the bed and didn't come over to disturb her again.
Wei Huai'en continued to plan based on his previous thoughts. When he finished writing and put down the pen, he realized that he was a little too quiet.
"Xiao Qi?"
She seemed to have said something too harshly. Did she make this beauty who was already prone to random thoughts sad again?
Xiao Qi turned his back to her and seemed to have fallen asleep.
So she is overthinking it? Xiao Qi can't still take her unintentional joke seriously, thinking that she really doesn't like his boredom, right?
Wei Huai'en blew out the lamp, moved close to Xiao Qi, and asked in a low voice with some worry:
"My sweetheart? Why don't you turn around?"
Just as she feared, Xiao Qi was lying on his side with his arms folded, his eyes wide open and he didn't look sleepy at all.
Why is it that when the oiran presses against her, she doesn't refuse anyone who comes, and when it's his turn to be genuinely worried that she doesn't get enough rest, she treats him with such an impatient tone?
So you can only treat people who are close to you with a cold face, but you can treat outsiders with compassion and greet them with a smile?
He has seen all the strange cases in the Xuanyu Division. Not only are men good at Long Yang, but women also have true feelings. The scene of Wei Huaien getting close to the courtesan kept replaying in Xiao Qi's mind. How could he not
I wonder if she also has this preference.
Who gave him no reason to think that she regarded him as a man from the beginning.
She was so unwilling to be a woman, so pitiful about them, the eunuchs with mutilated bodies. What if she only regarded eunuchs as women because she hated men?
In her eyes, what is his gender? Is it a man, a eunuch, or another kind of woman?
Even if these are all his random thoughts, since she pities the oiran so much, why doesn't she just tell him to put her in good stead? If she doesn't have the final say on everyone in Haoyue Tower, why should she spend his money?
"Aqi, if you fall asleep, I won't talk anymore, okay?"
Xiao Qi's breathing was very well disguised. Wei Huai'en had already asked twice and thought he had said all the good things, so he no longer worried about whether he was pretending to sleep and closed his eyes.
Tomorrow the court meeting will have to quarrel with two ministers who have different opinions on Monan's peace terms. She really needs to recharge her batteries.
The breathing behind him became longer. Xiao Qi sat up in disbelief and raised his hand to wave in front of her.
Why did she fall asleep so quickly?
Xiao Qi, who was even more angry, shook off another quilt that was almost unused, not wanting to share a quilt with Wei Huaien.
She thought he was annoying, so she just said yes, and after asking twice, she gave up. Anyway, in the next few days, he would be in the capital with the Xuan Yu Division people to maintain the stability before the peace talks in Monan, so she would sleep alone.
That's enough, he doesn't want to serve you anymore!
Xiao Qi angrily thought about getting up tomorrow morning. When Wei Huai'en asked him in surprise why he didn't sleep on the same quilt with her, he would ignore her and wait for a few days before she would understand that she was in his heart.
How serious is the affair with the oiran?
This time he has to admit her mistake before he is willing to come back.
But Xiao Qi forgot that due to his poor sleeping appearance, it was actually Wei Huai'en who accommodated him while sleeping.
Therefore, the Chu, He and Han realms that were clearly separated before Xiao Qi fell asleep were quickly rolled over by him after he fell asleep. The quilt on his body seemed to have had a fight with him, and everything fell off, left, right, and bottom.
, and was finally pinned down by him, completely defeated.
Without the quilt on his body, Xiao Qi stayed calm for a while, then instinctively stretched out his hands and feet in the direction of Wei Huaien. As soon as he touched the edge of the quilt, he rested his whole body on Wei Huaien, suffocating her and waking her up.
Wei Huaien squinted at Xiao Qi, who was hanging on him again, and sighed helplessly.
She naturally took out the quilt from Xiao Qi's waist and covered him because his middle coat was tucked under his armpits, exposing his entire chest and abdomen.
But there was nothing he could do about his legs. He pressed her and the quilt tightly like a tangle of vines. It didn't matter, his legs weren't afraid of the cold anyway.
After doing all this, Wei Huaien closed his eyes and was about to go back to sleep. Xiao Qi hummed and pressed close to her. He didn't know what he was dreaming about and insisted on burying his face in her neck.
It doesn't matter, she's used to it.
Wei Huaien rubbed the top of his hair, moved his head away a little, let him rest on the pillow, and put his right hand on his forehead, so that he could rub her palm at any time.
Feeling the familiar breath and touch, Xiao Qi finally stopped moving.
But the next day, when Xiao Qi opened his eyes first, he and Wei Huaien still slept in a mess. He was resting on Wei Huaien's right arm, and Wei Huaien was held by him again, and their legs were almost twisted into twists.
.
Although Xiao Qi slept comfortably, he still remembered the temper he didn't express yesterday and gently moved his hands and feet away from her. Before she woke up, he wanted to pretend that they didn't sleep together last night.
How else would she know he was sulking?
But he was so close to her, breathing intertwined, and looking at her sleeping face, he suddenly felt reluctant to move away.
I want a kiss.
Although I haven't rinsed my mouth yet, I just touched her lips and kissed her.
Xiao Qi quickly convinced himself by using the excuse that he would not see her for the next few days, and kissed her gently.
"Your Highness? It's time to wake up. Your Highness?"
When Shui Jing knocked on the window lattice to wake up Wei Huaien, Xiao Qi rolled neatly into another bed that had not been covered with a quilt for almost the whole night.
"Huh? Got it...come in."
Wei Huai'en yawned and sat up against the head of the bed, stretching and looking around him.
What kind of fuss was going on? There was still the residual warmth of him beside her, so what was he trying to cover up? But he didn't say anything when he was given the chance last night, and pretended to be asleep. She didn't have time to talk to him now.
.
"Your Highness, everything is ready."
Shui Jing stood far away in the hall, urging Wei Huai'en to get up as soon as possible.
"good."
Forget it, if he wants to say something, he will naturally say it.
The fourth day of May in the twenty-third year of Yonghe.
The Monan envoy had arrived in the Gyeonggi area at noon today and stayed at the inn that had been prepared long ago.
Because the many tributes brought by the envoys slowed down the process, and Emperor Yonghe ordered Monan to be dried out, the war and peace talks that had ended in the spring were delayed until the Dragon Boat Festival.
Shangguan Luming was temporarily transferred from Dali Temple to the Ministry of Rites. As Lu Zhong's subordinate, he was responsible for peace talks together with Ruan Yan and others.
Lu Zhong made it clear to him in private what Emperor Yonghe meant:
"I'm not in a hurry to see those barbarians now. I just need to delay, let alone let them contact the proton privately, until His Majesty personally orders them to enter the capital."
Wei Huai'en's right-hand man had to leave temporarily to go to the post house to mediate with the Monan people. Undercurrents surged in the capital again. Many people with northwest background quietly entered the capital and gathered to go to the Yamen to complain about injustice and cause trouble. Fortunately, Xiao Qi had taken precautions.
Everyone was under strict surveillance.
Emperor Yonghe was about to attack the Jiang family, but Wei Huai'en suppressed the wave he wanted to stir up. Even though Emperor Yonghe lived deep in the palace and did not see King Wei Huai'en, the confrontation between father and daughter had become a fire and water situation.
.
In the palace.
"She has only been crown prince for three days, and she dares to show her claws to me."
Emperor Yonghe sat cross-legged on the futon. After hearing the report, he opened his eyes and looked sideways at Eunuch Le, who was dripping with cold sweat.
"Are you so useless? Xiao Qi, a mere man, has had his life taken several times, and now he dares to point fingers at my four-way forbidden army."
Eunuch Le fell to the ground with a thump, shaking like chaff.
