Although it was not the first time to share a bed, Zhou Youchen couldn't calm down for a long time.

His heart was beating fast and thumping, and a scorching heat burned in the deepest part of his body, gradually flowing through his body, warm and itchy.

He suddenly felt a little dry and licked his lips subconsciously, but the more he did this, the more thirsty he felt.

His arms tightly wrapped around Meng Xilan and said, "Is it still cold?" ”

Meng Xilan's mood has not completely calmed down, but she is no longer flustered and can think normally.

She snuggled up to Zhou Youchen and said "um" softly.

Zhou Youchen took a deep breath, his chest heaved and said, "But why am I so hot?" ”

His tone was a little helpless.

Meng Xilan was stunned when she heard this, and instantly realized that she had crossed the line today.

He is no longer a child, but a teenager who is about to grow up, and skin-to-skin with the opposite sex will make his body react naturally.

Meng Xilan immediately sat up, her expression was also a little nervous, and her cheeks were slightly red.

"Chen'er, I want to drink tea."

She pointed to the teacup on the table a little unnaturally, Zhou Youchen sat up and looked at her, as if she was puzzled, but she still obediently brought the teacup.

Meng Xilan took a sip of the warm tea and was about to put it down, but Zhou Youchen took it and took a sip of it herself where she had just drank.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly, and smiled a little helplessly: "Chen'er, you go back first." Recently, the palace has not been peaceful, don't cause trouble. ”

Zhou Youchen just took a sip, and when he heard that she was going to take him away, he couldn't help frowning and said, "How can there be such a thing?" No, I'm going to stay. After speaking, he put down the teacup and lay on her bed with his feet straight.

Meng Xilan couldn't pull it, and she couldn't push it, so she had to say, "Okay, then you sleep here, I'll sleep outside." ”

Zhou Youchen was a little anxious when he heard this, "No! ”

His voice was too loud, causing Meng Xilan to frown.

Although Zhulu and Zhuqing have long been accustomed to his sudden appearance, they still have to beware of others, if others hear or see it, then she and Zhou Youchen will be accused of messing with the harem, and they will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of this, Meng Xilan smiled helplessly again. Meeting secretly like this, and besides, sharing the same bed, how can there be any innocence?

Zhou Youchen looked at Meng Xilan's frowning and glaring, and then sat up obediently, "Okay, don't be angry, I'll just go." ”

He didn't want to pester her like a child. He hoped that one day she would willingly let her stay.

Meng Xilan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and only said, "When you go back, be careful." ”

Zhou Youchen left from the window, his steps were still so light, and he quickly disappeared from Meng Xilan's sight,

With his skills, he can really be a transparent person in the queen. Such a quiet ability is really enviable and worrying.

……

Summer is approaching, the weather in the capital is getting hotter and hotter, and soon it will be time to go to the palace to escape the heat.

However, before that, Zhou Shixian ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate a sum of money to renovate the cultivation palace.

Recently, the treasury has been unable to make ends meet, and the emperor has to use silver to renovate the cultivation palace, which is really inappropriate.

Many ministers in the court were opposed, and Zhou Shixian seemed to have to go his own way, not only asking the treasury to allocate the silver on time, but also letting Zhou Youlin personally supervise the renovation of the palace.

Zhou Youlin is naturally unwilling to accept such an errand. He couldn't even understand his father's thoughts, why he wanted to repair the palace at this time and do such a stupid thing that cost the people and money.

As a son, Zhou Youlin could not disobey his father's wishes, and as a courtier, he could not refuse the emperor's appointment. Such an embarrassing situation made Zhou Youlin feel bored.

As one of his think tanks, Meng Zhenglu naturally has the responsibility to give him advice and solve problems.

"Lord Meng, my father has been becoming more and more abnormal recently, and this situation is not good for me...... Also, that old nine, he is not honest! ”

Meng Zhenglu personally poured tea and water for him, and said gently: "Today, the prince came to the cold house and dared to say a few sincere words to His Royal Highness. ”

"Sir, please ......" Zhou Youlin was eager to hear his thoughts.

"The emperor's recent actions that seem unusual seem to have no reason, but in fact there are traces to follow. Since, the crown prince ...... No, after the former prince was deposed, the emperor's mood has been depressed. He began to be suspicious of people and things. Therefore, during this time, we can't guess the emperor's thoughts, since we can't guess, just don't guess, it's best to go with the flow. ”

Zhou Youlin never expected that he would say such a thing, he has always been very principled, and he rarely said such a flattering word.

"Sir, let me go with the flow, it really doesn't really sound like what you should say."

Meng Zhenglu smiled slightly: "Weichen also wants to speak up, but Weichen can't help but consider your position. As for the ninth master, you don't have to care at all, he has neither ambition nor strength, just a child who has not grown up. ”

He didn't forget his daughter's advice. Zhou Youlin is still the first choice of the Meng family, but Zhou Youchen's existence is the best backup for the Meng family.

Once the situation changes, there is still room for them to turn around.

Zhou Youlin raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Lord Meng is very clear about Lao Jiu's affairs." ”

Meng Zhenglu said lightly: "The prince should know very well that Xilan has always taken good care of the ninth master in the palace, and no one knows the temperament of the ninth master better than her?" ”

Zhou Youlin's face was displeased: "Sometimes, I think they get too close. ”

Meng Zhenglu's expression was slightly condensed, put down the teacup and said: "Lord Wang, Xilan treats the ninth master like a relative, and she cares about him very much. Moreover, Lord Wang, you must remember how much Xi Lan has done for the Lord over the years, you shouldn't doubt her. ”

Zhou Youlin hurriedly explained: "This king doesn't suspect her...... This king is just, forget it, don't mention it. ”

Now is not the time for children to grow up, it is still important to get down to business.

Zhou Youlin took the order and went away and was fully responsible for repairing the palace. Therefore, he had to leave Beijing for a long time, but before he set out, he had to supervise the ministers to complete the design of the palace.

It stands to reason that this is just a trivial matter, but since Zhou Youlin has taken over this errand, he must do everything himself.

He looked at the drawings for most of the day, and he couldn't help but be tired. When he was about to close his eyes and recuperate, the eunuch outside came to report: "Lord Wang, the sixth master is here." ”

Zhou Youlin's eyebrows frowned slightly. He hadn't seen Zhou Youwen for a while.

His reputation in the palace is now extremely notorious, and after the fall of the crown prince, he was almost implicated. But he was a little lucky in the end and didn't get too involved.

Zhou Youlin frowned: "What is he doing here?" ”

"Slaves don't know ......"

Zhou Youlin didn't want to see him, but he knew Zhou Youwen's personality, and he must have something to say, so he would take the initiative to come here to find him.

"Let him in." Zhou Youlin closed half of the drawing.

Zhou Youwen bent over and came in, and as soon as he entered the door, he saluted first, "Say hello to the fourth brother." ”

Zhou Youlin glanced at him coldly, it seemed that he hadn't mixed well recently, his body was thin, and his face was not very good-looking, revealing a weak burnt yellow.

"Sixth brother, let's go." Zhou Youlin instructed the eunuch to bring him tea, and then asked him to sit down and talk.

Zhou Youwen sat down with a smile, took a sip of tea, and coughed a few more times: "I thought that you wouldn't see me again, fourth brother." ”

Zhou Youlin lowered his eyes and looked at the tea, "You and I are brothers in the end, I don't want to do too much." Say, what's the matter with me? ”

Zhou Youwen smiled lightly: "The fourth brother still understands me, then I'll tell the truth, I just want to find an errand to do by the fourth brother's side." ”

"Errand?" Zhou Youlin looked at him and said, "Sixth brother, we all know what your ability is." So, you should be honest and be your gentleman. ”

Eating, drinking, and being merry is what he really does.

Zhou Youwen's eyes flashed: "Fourth brother, I know how many catties and taels I have, but you are now smooth sailing, if you can help me, the sixth brother is willing to make cattle and horses for you for the rest of his life." ”

"My father has put you in charge of repairing the palace, which is a big difference. I know I don't have the ability, but as long as you give me some leftovers, it will be enough for me to stand up and be a man in the palace. ”

Zhou Youlin laughed instead of anger when he heard this, and said coldly: "Sixth brother, sixth brother, you are a year older, why are you still so naïve?" ”

Zhou Youwen's eyes gradually sank, and he said worriedly: "Fourth brother, if you think about our past relationship, you can help me." ”

"What if I don't want to help you?" Zhou Youlin stood up, turned his hands and went to the table, continued to look at the pattern, and said in a casual tone: "Who else can you find besides me?" Zhou Youping is completely hopeless, Zhou Youan has also lost the hearts of the people because the queen mother fell out of favor, and the seventh and eighth brothers are both weak people and can't stand alone. There are still Lao Jiu left...... He almost broke your nose last time, didn't he? ”

Zhou Youwen's face was pale and uncertain, and he lowered his head in embarrassment: "Fourth brother just doesn't forgive me when he says that." ”

Zhou Youlin said lightly: "You are my younger brother, I should forgive you." But I can't tolerate traitors around me. ”

Zhou Youwen's eyes were cold, and he simply got up and said, "Traitor? You clearly think of me as a random dog. If you really treat me as your own brother, you won't allow Lao Jiu to treat me like that! Fourth brother, I kindly advise you today, don't be too proud. Meng Xilan's girl is even more vicious than you think, and Zhou Youchen, he will deal with you sooner or later, you can do it yourself! ”

He had been messing with Zhou Shili for three years, how could he not notice the subtle relationship between him and Meng Xilan. The strange thing is that the crown prince was deposed, Zhou Shili was convicted, and only Meng Xilan did nothing. She was clearly involved with them...... That woman clearly has something to hide, she has a secret.
