I barely bowed as I had seen before, and after receiving her jaw, I was finally able to leave the breathless inner sanctum. Walking out in a hurry, even the weak constitution seemed to be unhindered at this moment - of course, this was only my psychological factors.

In fact, when I stepped out of the temple gate and walked across the long red carpet to the anxiously waiting Xiao Cicada and Bingyi, there was already a thin layer of sweat on my back.

It's just that in front of outsiders, I can't show anything unusual, so I can only accept the two of them as if nothing happened.

"Your Majesty ordered, please go to the Chaolu Hall to rest for a while." I don't know how the pink-clothed maid who had been guarding the door all the time got Kwong Xiqing's order, but I saw her smile at me with a decent smile, but the guards behind me had already guarded the rest of the path, leaving only a straight path to the inner courtyard of the palace - I had no choice but to obey the order.

"Let's go." Stroking his panting chest, I really can't figure out Kuang Xiqing's intentions - from this gradually deeper direction, I am getting closer and closer to the core of the inner courtyard, that is, the place where the emperor and the harem petites live, according to common sense, although I am a prince, I shouldn't just go in and out of the emperor's harem so casually, right?

Could it be that Kwong Xihan is too young to pose a threat to her pets?

But I remember that there are already a lot of servants in Kuang Xihan's backyard......

Just thinking about it, he met a group of men in blue clothes, and among them, a young man dressed in red was particularly conspicuous - the so-called ten thousand green is a little red from it, not to mention that the other party is obviously different from the noble temperament of everyone.

He was not like the charming young men with heavy makeup and bright makeup I had seen in Kwong Xihan's mansion, he was long, fair-complexion, square-looking, with a calm gait, and a grace in his gestures—that calm and peaceful temperament suddenly changed when he saw our line of work, and began to cringe and twist; If he had to say anything, his gaze seemed to be straight at me.

- An acquaintance again?

I waited silently, squinting at the cicada, waiting for his emergency prompt.

"That's His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Lu family, the prime minister of the dynasty," Xiao Cicada paused for a moment and added in a low voice, "...... It's also your childhood sweetheart. ”

I was shocked by his last four words, and a fragmented picture seemed to come to mind.

You know, playmates who grew up together since childhood can be called childhood sweethearts, couples who have been privately committed for life since childhood can also be called childhood sweethearts, and they have grown up together since childhood, and they have a private lifelong life but have a grudge that ends in disgrace...... That can also be called a childhood sweetheart.

Despite the faint revelation of the little cicada, and only from the young man's extraordinarily bright gaze, I guessed with some headache that the last one was actually the most likely.

――This imperial husband Lu Xiuzhu is not low in Kuang Xihan's memory.

"I've seen the royal husband." Before he opened his mouth, I had already bowed with the people.

"Xiaohan...... Why is it so angry with this palace? Is it because I blamed Hongu for not going to see you immediately the day before yesterday? He ignored the others, but bit his lip and looked at me with a resentful expression - the previous dignified temperament was probably just my delusion?

"Emperor Qi, my Royal Highness has just recovered from a serious illness, and his spirit has not yet recovered, and there are some confusions for a while, please don't be surprised." Seeing that I just didn't reply with a cold face, I thought I was afraid that I would offend this imperial husband, and Xiao Cicada had to ask for mercy on my behalf - if it was a normal situation, the master and son were talking, and the attendant should not interject without authorization in any case, since Xiao Cicada, who has always been timid and cautious, dared to do this, it also showed in disguise that the other party was a person with a generous personality, and would not be angry because of this.

"I see, looking at this face, it is really pale......" His expression immediately became worried, and he beckoned to the attendant behind him to order, "Go to the treasury of the palace and get that thousand-year-old ginseng." Then he looked at me and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Xiao Han might as well go to Mingquan Hall with the palace to sit for a while." ”

- Brother-in-law and sister-in-law, oh no, it should be sister-in-law and brother-in-law, the ambiguity under this melon field and plum is not touchable, as the master of the harem, why does this royal husband seem to have no intention of avoiding suspicion?

Is it that the two of them are already frank and have a clear conscience, or is this unruly Kuang Xihan already rampant...... I quickly stopped my increasingly biased thoughts.

"Ahem, there's no need, this king ......," I cleared my throat and squinted at the pink-clothed maid who was standing silently and patiently on the side, "I'm a little tired, and I'm about to go to the Chaolu Hall to rest." ”

"Your Majesty the Imperial Husband," received a warning from my eyes, or perhaps the delay was really a bit long, and the pink-clothed maid finally stood up to relieve the siege for me, "Your Majesty decrees, please ask His Royal Highness King Ling to go to the Chaolu Hall for dinner, there must be no mistake." ”

"Since it is His Majesty's will, this palace should obey the order," his smile froze, but after all, he maintained the demeanor of the imperial husband, restrained the regret in his eyes, and nodded to the attendant who had ordered before, "In addition to that ginseng, add some commonly used medicinal herbs and send them to King Ling's mansion." ”

"Thank you." I didn't bother to excuse myself, and after bowing my head, I continued to walk forward with the pink-clothed maid - this triangular relationship that is constantly unsorted and chaotic, the farther away the better.

Although I don't know what the original body thinks, and whether he has taken any substantive actions, anyway, when he comes to me, he will start to draw a line with him from today and cut it in two.

Not to mention the relationship between the brother-in-law and sister-in-law between the two, even if they are marriageable men and women, teach me how to accept this emotional entanglement that I have never participated in in a moment or three?

-- Kuang Xihan is really a trouble.

Shaking off my sigh, I revisited the scenery of my journey.

In terms of appearance, the Chaolu Hall is far from being majestic and majestic when the Rain Hall comes, but it is more elegant and beautiful, suitable for living, and it is very likely to be the emperor's bedroom by looking at the strict forbidden guards outside the palace.

This Kuang Xiqing said that he was going to have dinner with me, and there was still government affairs to deal with before, but he did not give a clear time; After sitting in the transept for a while, my eyelids began to sink uncontrollably.

Xiao Cicada worriedly supported our body that was tilted to the side, and whispered: "Looking at the hour, the emperor will not come back for a while and a half, Your Highness might as well go to the soft couch to rest?" ”

I rubbed my temples that were throbbing, and I did feel that this body was beginning to lose strength and could not bear the load, so I no longer insisted, and with his support, moved to a soft couch in the middle, and lay down relaxedly. ”

"The slave obeys." He gently straightened the thin blanket that I was wearing and promised.

I slept soundly this night, and when I woke up again, I woke up with a grunt in my belly.

I opened my eyes in a daze, but the light in the room was dim, and there was a figure standing beside me, in the faint yellow flickering candle flame, teaching people to see it really.

"Awake? Do you want to eat? The gentle and dignified female voice sounded faintly in my ears, but it was not the little cicada that should have stood beside me.

My sleepiness disappeared suddenly, and I immediately opened my eyes wide, but I met Kuang Xiqing's caged phoenix eyes: "Why are you stupid?" Aren't you sleepy, and you don't even know me anymore? She chuckled and reached out to touch my ear, looking as intimate as usual, not at all like the emperor who had quietly tested me before, but like a gentle sister who was very usual.

"The Emperor...... Sister. My ears were hot, but I didn't dare to turn my head, but lowered my eyes and tried to shout.

"Han'er must be so hungry, listen, her stomach is screaming." Her expression didn't change, and it was clear that I wasn't calling me wrong, but she reached out and patted my lower abdomen as she spoke, which made me almost freeze in place.

Although they are sisters, after all, one is the supreme emperor in the world, and the other is the king of Ling, who is in power and opposition, such an intimate little action is beyond my expectations.

It's just that, looking at Kuang Xiqing's movements, she is familiar with nature, without the slightest stagnation, it can be seen that she is used to it, and I can't resist too much - what is unbearable is that whenever her hand touches my body, it always makes me feel an inexplicable throbbing, even if it is not enough to affect the action, it is already an embarrassing problem for me.

"I've been sleeping for a long time, I'm a little hungry," I turned my head and pretended to look at the sky, but I was actually looking for the whereabouts of Xiao Cicada and Bingyi - except for the smiling Kwong Xiqing, there was no one else in this ear room, "What time is it?" ”

I didn't find anyone from the house, but the table of eight immortals next to the soft couch was arranged with sumptuous and tempting dishes, and the fragrance immediately attracted my attention.

"It's almost time," Kuang Xiqing raised her chin slightly and motioned for me to look at the leaky pot in the corner, "It's getting late, so Han'er will stay in the palace today." ”

--I was lifting the thin blanket and getting up from the couch, and I looked at it in disbelief.

Under the flickering warm orange candlelight, the warm beauty dressed in plain clothes and with waist-length hair smiled back at me.
