CHAPTER XVI
Unconsciously, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and by the time Chu Yunxi wanted to leave, he couldn't see the road outside clearly.
"Your Highness, it's snowing outside, you ......" Xia Fenglan pulled Chu Yunxi's shirt, "You might as well stay." After finishing speaking, Xia Fenglan immediately blushed, how could she say this as if she was longing for King Jing to stay.
Chu Yunxi hooked her lips and said, "Okay." With that, let Jin Ci take another quilt out of the closet and spread it next to Xia Fenglan.
After Xia Fenglan slept inside, Chu Yunxi naturally lay outside.
Xia Fenglan leaned sideways, looked at Chu Yunxi's soft side face, and blushed cheeks.
"Feng Lan." Chu Yunxi looked at the tassel at the head of the bed and called Feng Lan softly.
"What's the matter, Your Highness?" Xia Fenglan asked softly.
"Nothing." Chu Yunxi shook his head, "It's just that I suddenly want to call your name." ”
"Your Highness." Xia Fenglan was a little ashamed.
"Don't call me Your Highness." Chu Yunxi turned sideways and looked at Xia Fenglan, "You and I are already the closest people in this world. Call me Xi. ”
Perhaps the expectation in Chu Yunxi's eyes was too strong, Xia Fenglan lightly opened her red lips as if she was bewitched, and whispered: "Xi." Then he lowered his head and buried himself in the quilt.
"Feng Lan, call again." Chu Yunxi only felt that this cry was better than Xianle.
But Xia Fenglan refused to respond to her this time.
Chu Yunxi hooked her lips, and she was no longer reluctant.
"Feng Lan, we'll be like this all our lives, okay?" Chu Yunxi said.
Xia Fenglan still didn't answer, as if she was asleep.
Chu Yunxi was also really tired, and soon entered the dream.
It wasn't until there was a steady breathing sound next to her that Xia Fenglan raised her head, supported half of her body with one hand, and looked at Chu Yunxi beside her.
Chu Yunxi is very beautiful, with delicate and soft facial features and creamy white skin, giving people a very gentle feeling. It's just that the momentum on her usual body is too strong, overshadowing this feeling.
After falling asleep, the edge of the body retreats, and this gentleness is reflected.
brushed the hair on Chu Yunxi's forehead, looking at her quiet sleeping face, Xia Fenglan's eyes were tender.
King Jing Chu Yunxi is actually a very gentle person.
At three o'clock, Chu Yunxi made a silent gesture towards Jinci, and put on his clothes lightly. Before leaving, he carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for Xia Fenglan.
In the court, Chu Yunxi stood in his own position, and his vague gaze swept over the position where King Jin was absent.
The three-month ban was enough for King Jin to be squeezed out of this circle.
Chu Yunxi hooked his lips, feng shui took turns, the misfortune of the previous life, let the king of Jin bear it in this life.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." Qin Bowen, the left minister, took a step forward and said, "There are many people in the south of the city who have symptoms of high fever that does not go away, and the ministers are panicking, this is a symptom of the epidemic. The Jin Palace's Mansion is nearby, and he also asked the emperor to relieve His Highness's grounding, so as not to cause His Highness to be infected with a bad disease. "Qin Bowen is the queen's sister, and everything comes first to King Jin.
"Lord Zuo, this is a mistake." King Xing glanced at Zuo Xiang and took a step forward, "It's just that a few people are infected, how can it become a precursor to the epidemic?" "With a three-month lockdown, he won't give King Jin any chance.
"If King Jin is sick, dare to ask King Xing, do you dare to bear it?" Qin Bowen shouted sharply.
"Lord Zuo Xiang, you are just a courtier, how dare you speak to His Royal Highness King Xing like this, it is presumptuous." Right interjected a sentence.
"Weichen is just worried about His Royal Highness King Jin." Qin Bowen said.
"Xi'er, what do you think?" The emperor turned his gaze to Chu Yunxi.
"Erchen thinks that no matter whether it is an epidemic or not, the imperial doctor should be sent to check." Chu Yunxi said, "First, to avoid the suffering of the people, and second, to show the benevolence of the father." Chu Yunxi bit the epidemic word by word, and did not mention the matter of King Jin's grounding.
"Hmm." The Emperor nodded, quite satisfied, "Just do as you say." ”
"Emperor......" Qin Bowen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor.
"Retreat." The emperor said lightly, making it clear that he didn't want to discuss the matter of King Jin anymore.
"Your Highness, what's going on with you today?" When he went down to the court, Qin Bowen found King Jing, "Above the court, why don't you help King Jin?" "As long as King Jing says a word, King Jin's predicament may be solved.
"Uncle, my father is determined to be grounded in King Jin for March, do you think that after March, there will be a position of King Jin in the court?" Chu Yunxi didn't answer this question head-on, but raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Bowen, "No matter how hard your uncle tries his best in the future, don't forget, there are also evenly matched King Xing and Youxiang around you." Uncle thinks that after March, you will still be able to fight them? ”
"Your Highness...... What do you mean by that? Although it was just a question, Qin Bowen already had a faint guess about what King Jing wanted to say next.
"Uncle, King Jin is your own nephew, and this king is also your own niece." Chu Yunxi hooked her lips, her deep eyes were full of wisdom, "No matter who gets that position in the end, it will be beneficial to you." ”
Qin Bowen didn't speak, but kept thinking in his heart. King Jing's words are not unreasonable, but he doesn't know King Jing's ability and doesn't dare to bet rashly.
"It's true." Seeing a hint of wavering in Qin Bowen's eyes, Chu Yunxi added another fire to it, "King Jin's grounding is the hand of this king. ”
"You...... He's your own brother! A hint of surprise appeared in Qin Bowen's eyes. The king of Jin has always been cautious in doing things, and it is impossible to show his feet lightly. He had always thought that it was King Xing's hand, but he didn't expect that it was actually this inconspicuous King Jing.
"It was he who gave the hand to Ben first." Chu Yunxi smiled mockingly, "This king just fought back." He was defeated, so he was grounded by his father, and he became a king and lost a king, as it has always been. ”
"Rong Weichen thinks about it, Weichen will retire first." Qin Bowen said, and turned to leave.
"Uncle." Looking at Qin Bowen's back, Chu Yunxi said lightly, "This king has always felt that only one person is needed for the position of prime minister. ”
Qin Bowen paused for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Your Highness is wise, far superior to King Jin." ”
Chu Yunxi narrowed his eyes, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes. King Jin, what was once in your place, this king will snatch it the same. Three months later, there will be no room for you to speak in the court!
Xia Fenglan slept very deeply this night, and when she woke up, the sky was already bright, and the futon next to her was already cold.
Your Highness, it's time to go to court.
Somehow, when she woke up and didn't see Chu Yunxi for the first time, she felt a little lost in her heart.
Let Jinxia take care of herself, Xia Fenglan went to the front hall, and on the table in the front hall, there was only a teapot.
"Princess, Your Highness said, come back in a while and take you to eat delicious food." Seeing Xia Fenglan's doubts, Jinxia smiled and said, "That's why I didn't let the small kitchen prepare breakfast." After another stick of incense, it is almost time for His Highness to return. Let's start with some hot tea. ”
"Hmm." Xia Fenglan nodded, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of tea. It's the taste of "snow green in the sky", Your Highness, she really keeps her preferences in mind, and her heart is warm.
