Hidden Sky Light

Chen Ling didn't speak, just looked at him.

She was out of breath right now, but she didn't want to spit at him, so she didn't say anything, but the annoyance in her eyes still didn't fade away.

Shen Ci stepped forward, "So angry?"

Chen Ling lowered her eyes, trying her best to hide the anger in her eyes.

Shen Ci's fingertips caressed her cheek, and the thin callus at the tiger's mouth reminded her again that it was brother Zi'an. She opened her eyes to look at him, her eyes calming down a little.

"I'm not in the Palace of Lihe, I'll take His Majesty back, and I won't sit in the dragon chariot. Let's take a walk together to cool off, okay?" The smile on his face was familiar and gentle.

She couldn't say anything bad.

...

After leaving the Liyang Palace, the two really walked to Chen Ling's sleeping hall together.

There were guards patrolling in the palace, and the inner waiter walked in front of and behind them, separated by a distance, only Shen Ci walked with her carrying the illuminating lantern.

Neither of them spoke much.

The light in the lantern illuminates two intertwined figures...

After a while, Chen Ling said, "Why don't you speak?"

Shen Ci just turned to look at her and smiled softly, "Aren't you unhappy? I thought you wanted to be quiet for a while, so you didn't speak... Are you feeling better now?"

Chen Ling didn't answer.

Shen Ci whispered, "Don't be sullen, why don't you do everything in your power to make His Majesty happy, how about it?"

Chen Ling just looked at him, "How to coax?"

Shen Ci seemed to be embarrassed, but also seemed to be ambiguous, "How do you want me to coax your majesty?"

Chen Lingnai sighed, "Shen Ci."

Shen Ci clenched his fists and chuckled twice, as if he had regained his normal form, and said solemnly, "Tao Song, how about I go and beat him?"

Chen Ling never thought that he suddenly said this sentence, and couldn't help laughing, "You want to beat anyone you see?"

She remembered that he only beat Zhao Lunchi today, he said earlier that he would beat Fang Sifu, and now he said he would beat Tao Song...

Shen Ci said embarrassedly, "Yes, I am such a gentle person..."

Chen Ling couldn't hold back and laughed again.

He even smiled twice, and his face was not as gloomy as before.

Shen Ci looked at her with a smile, but did not expose it.

Chen Ling's mouth also had a smile.

Neither of them said anything, they just laughed and walked separately, just like they did earlier.

not the same...

Passing by the promenade, Shen Ci took off the cloak and gave it to her, "Put it on, it's cooling down."

Chen Ling looked at him, "Qi Shan has."

Shen Ci ticked the corner of his mouth, "This one has body temperature."

Chen Ling then stopped talking, and wrapped the cloak he handed over tightly, it was really warm, with the warmth on his body.

Qishan has sharp eyes, and quickly gave another big cloak to Shen Ci, Shen Ci took it, didn't push it back, and put it on again.

Chen Ling is funny.

Shen Ci asked, "Are you so tired every day?"

He was absent earlier, and today was the first day to accompany her in the palace, so he should have asked.

Chen Ling couldn't tell him that today is the first day of returning to the palace, so it's not too busy...

Then he avoided the heavy and took the light, "In the day, how can you not be tired?"

After she finished speaking, he looked at him, and he was by her side, but he didn't make a sound.

It was her turn to ask, "Why didn't you speak?"

Shen Ci seemed to pause for a while, and no matter what he wanted to say, in the end, he gave up and said truthfully, "I feel bad, so I don't know what to say..."

Chen Ling stopped and looked at him blankly.

He also stopped and said solemnly, "Being a courtier, can you let Your Majesty ignore these things?"

He continued to look at her and said softly, "But as a husband, I just want you to be happy, and I'll take care of everything for you..."

Chen Ling was stunned.

He said warmly, "Let's go, this is the air vent, the wind is too strong."

He carried the lantern and continued forward, with Chen Ling beside him.

All of a sudden, the two of them didn't talk much anymore, each was thinking...

"This way." Chen Ling said softly at the fork in the road.

Shen Ci was surprised. He was unfamiliar with the palace earlier, but he was familiar with it for a day today. This is the way to the dormitory.

Chen Ling looked at him, "Let's go to see Ah Nian first, I haven't seen Ah Nian today, he should be sleeping soon..."

Shen Ci also reacted. From the morning until now, she has been busy, and only now has time to see her son.

Shen remarks should be fine.

Shen Ci remembered that on the way back to Beijing, Anian told him that when he returned to Beijing, the emperor would be very busy, so busy that he could only see me for a while every day, and he was so busy that he could not see me all day. ...

It turned out to be so.

"Have you met Ah Nian today?" Chen Ling asked.

Shen Ci nodded and hummed softly, "I saw it, and I stayed with him for a while."

Shen Ci paused, and suddenly thought that she should want to know more about A Nian, anyway, there is time on the road, Shen Ci elaborated, "When I went, he just woke up, very obedient, not crying , and put on his own clothes, and talked to me for a long time."

He was about to tell her what Ah Nian had said when he suddenly remembered the strange things he said when he was with Ah Nian this afternoon, for fear that Ah Nian would mention it in front of Chen Ling later...

"Why are you blushing?" Chen Ling asked him.

He hesitated, "No, no..."

Chen Ling suddenly realized that he might be thinking of some messy things in his mind.

"Shen Zi'an." Chen Ling called him.

He replied softly, "That's right, going to see A Nian together, like a family of three..."

Chen Ling's eyes were slightly stagnant.

It's not far from Chaoyang Palace, Shen Ci changed the subject, "Here it is."

Ah Nian was actually very sleepy, but he still hadn't slept until now.

Because I was sleepy and didn't sleep, all of them were a little drowsy. I used to be obedient, but now I'm crying in Tongfang...

When I saw Chen Ling, I kept crying, "Father~"

Madam Fang said, "Noisy and sleepy..."

Chen Ling nodded and took A Nian from Mother Fang's arms. It was uncomfortable for the child to be sleepy, but he couldn't control his emotions.

A Nian was looking forward to her one day, just like seeing him, so her tears and snot were all mixed up.

Chen Ling hugged him and said with Shen, "Wipe his tears for him."

As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, Shen Ci was already doing it.

"Wuwu, Royal Father, can you sleep with Nian Nian in your arms?" Emotionally, she was still crying, as if hugging would make her more secure.

"Don't cry, my father hugs." Chen Ling coaxed.

But A Nian couldn't help crying, so Chen Ling could only hold her.

Chen Ling was tired for a day today, so naturally he couldn't hold him for a long time, Shen Ci stepped forward, "Give it to me."

Chen Ling asked, "Can Uncle Shen hug you?"

Ah Nian thought about it for a while, but fortunately he didn't refuse, otherwise Chen Ling really couldn't hold him, and he would take him to sleep, I don't know how long it would take.

Shen Ci took A Nian, Xu Shi's embrace was wider, and it was more comfortable to lean on his shoulders, A Nian's cry became a little smaller, and he gradually quieted down.

Madam Fang had left earlier, and only the three of them were in the room.

But even though A Nian was quiet, he kept his eyes open and did not sleep, lying on Shen Ci's shoulders, leaning comfortably, not wanting to move.

Mother Fang brought tea into the room, and Chen Ling asked softly, "When did you get used to sleeping like this?"

She couldn't hold Ah Nian earlier, so she won't be so accustomed to Ah Nian all the time. It's only recently.

She didn't want to get used to him too much.

Chen Ling thought that Shen Ci had hugged him when he met A Nian in the afternoon, but Mother Fang said, "At noon, King Jingping fell asleep in such a hug, I guess he is thinking about it now."

Chen Ling: "..."

Chen Xiuyuan?

Chen Ling couldn't imagine how it could be Chen Xiuyuan.

But when Chen Ling looked at Shen Ci and A Nian, she saw that A Nian was still lying comfortably on Shen Ci, her eyes were a little dazed and half closed, Shen Ci was also protecting him, the picture was a little warm, she didn't After interrupting, he looked at their father and son on the couch...

For a few moments, she remembered what Shen Ci had just said.

——You and I went to see Anian together, like a family of three.

Chen Ling looked at him, his eyes briefly lost.

...

After Shen Ci hugged for a long time, A Nian finally fell asleep.

Together with Chen Ci and Chen Ling, they slowly put him down and confirmed that he was not awake before being tucked away by the corners.

Chen Ling sat on the edge of the bed and watched A Nian for a while before the two returned to the bedroom.

After seeing Ah Nian, Tao Song's anger seemed to be thrown into the clouds earlier, and all he remembered in his heart was Ah Nian's affairs.

As Anian grows older, she seems to have less and less time with him.

Shen Ci didn't mention it, but on this day, he finally knew how much she had relied on A Nian in Beijing over the years.

By the time we got to the bedroom, it was already late at night.

Shen Ci stopped outside the hall, and no one entered, "A Ling, rest early, I'm too tired today."

He saw that her eyes were full of tiredness. On the first day back to Beijing, he saw that she was busy until late, and even went to Anian's place in a hurry...

After Shen Ci finished speaking, she didn't answer.

Shen Ci continued, "I will enter the palace tomorrow to accompany you..."

Chen Ling looked at him and whispered, "But I want you to accompany me tonight."

Shen Ci looked at her.

...

The emperor's bedroom was burning with floor heating, and the two of them didn't feel cold when their clothes fell to the ground in a mess.

The light sandalwood incense was lit in the bedroom, and the brocade tent on the dragon collapsed was put down, and the faint light reflected two intertwined figures.

For more than ten days near Beijing, they were on their way. Officials who came and went began to see Chen Ling frequently. The two had not been close to one place for a long time.

Chen Ling's breath was his breath.

She was extra sensitive tonight, and he didn't seem to be doing well. She went there a few times, and the two of them were closer than ever before.

"A Ling, what happened today?" he asked when he carried her to the apse. The bath in the apse is very large, with steamy water, and the warm water temperature can easily wash away the tiredness of people, and it is also soothing.

Chen Ling's ruddy face did not fade, "It's different."

"Why is it different?" He looked at her.

She didn't seem to dare to look at his eyes, and whispered, "This is, my bedroom..."

He paused for a while, and swallowed softly in his throat, "I'll be here in the future."

She blushed.

He hugged her tightly again, his lips were warm and soft like water waves, "A Ling, I love you."

She put her arms on the back of his neck, and when she went back, her eyes were filled with a soft light, and she couldn't hold any more...

Later, he wiped her head.

How does she speak.

He knew she was still shy.

He has been close to her long ago, but today's closeness is different from earlier...

She looked at him, her beautiful eyes still hiding the rhythm of spring water, he smiled and said softly, "I really don't want to go to the morning tomorrow?"

She quickly bowed her head.

She dried her head, and he reached for the clothes on one side.

The clothes just now were all in the bedroom, and these clothes were prepared by Qi Shan.

Chen Ling looked at him, "Where are you going?"

He smiled while getting dressed, "Rotate, it's hard to be on duty all night, what do other people think? When I first arrived in the Imperial Army, I didn't talk much about it. I only beat someone today. …”

Chen Ling sighed in his heart.

He stepped forward and kissed her cheek, "I don't come early after my rotation. I won't be able to see me in the early morning tomorrow. I'll enter the palace later."

Shen Ci loosened his lips, "A Ling, I am with you in the palace."

She is light.

By the time Chen Ling left the apse, Shen Ci had already left, and the inner palace had been cleaned up by the maids.

She was a little tired, and seemed to have some energy, looking at the book on the couch.

She turned over the book, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. As if everything was different from before, and as if everything was the same as before...

- I am with you in the palace.

She has the best Shen Ci in the world, Chen Ling smiled.

***

The morning of the next day was the same as before, and the officials in the court went to look for the Seven Lights and went to rest. Once today was over, it would be three days in a row to take a rest.

However, after the early morning today, everyone knew that the emperor was going to receive the envoys of Nanshun, so there would be no officials to go to the Lihe Hall after the early morning until noon.

The wheels were rolling, and Chen Xiuyuan accompanied Xu Jiao into the palace.

This time Xu Jiao was dispatched to Yan Han, and Chen Ling asked him to go to Dongcheng to welcome him. Before the palace banquet, he would accompany Xu Jiao to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

Two years ago, when Xu Jiao was the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, he came to Yanhan Palace. He still has the impression that Chen Xiuyuan saw that her face was a little red from the cold, "Is it so cold?"

Xu Jiao nodded, "It's too cold, I've gotten used to it these two days."

There was no one else in the carriage, Chen Xiuyuan said softly, "People are not tight strings, but the strings need to be loosened, Xu Jiao, you should go back to Nanshun earlier."

Xu Jiao replied, "Go back after talking."

Chen Xiuyuan understood and did not mention it any more, but said, "We came early, His Majesty is still in the early morning, let's go to the Hall of Lihe and wait first."

"Okay." Xu Jiao responded.

Today Xu Jiao came, and Qi Shan stayed in Lihe Hall to take care of him.

The emperor was still in the morning, Chen Xiuyuan and Xu Jiao were waiting in the Dongnuan Pavilion of Lihe Hall.

There are a lot of books in the Dongnuan Pavilion. Xu Jiao hasn't come here last time. Xu Jiao asked, "Can I read the books here?"

"Of course." Chen Xiuyuan didn't feel wrong.

Xu Jiao likes books. Cang Yue loaded a half-carriage book on the way to Yanhan, and a half-carriage on the way from Cang Yue to Yanhan. Now, he actually saw the book "The Story of the South Lake" in the Dongnuan Pavilion of Lihe Hall. The lonely book, it should be the only one, she has never seen it anywhere else.

There happened to be a waiter who entered to look for Chen Xiuyuan. Chen Xiuyuan seemed to have something to do, "Xu Jiao, I'll be right back if I have something."

"Okay." Xu Jiao's attention was on the book.

Xu Jiao read the book seriously. She had seen and mentioned this book "The Story of the South Lake" in other books earlier. She had unique insights.

Xu Jiao turned slowly, not even noticing the footsteps behind him.

When she came back to her senses, she only felt a pair of cute eyes looking at her on one side.

Xu Jiao turned his eyes, and he also turned his head.

Xu Jiao smiled, "Where are you cute?"

A Nian smiled and said, "I am A Nian, who are you?"

Only then did Xu Jiao take a closer look at his clothes, the colors and dark patterns on the clothes. At such a young age, and in the palace, there should be only one person in Yan Han. Xu Jiao greeted him, "His Royal Highness?"

Anian rolled her eyes and asked curiously, "Do you recognize me?"

Xu Jiao nodded, "I have seen it before, when His Royal Highness was a child."

A Nian wanted to talk to her, "How young? Then I don't even remember you~"

He was so cute, Xu Jiao couldn't help but sighed, "Are you all so beautiful in the East Palace?"

"His Royal Highness!" Fang Momo then rushed over.

A Nian just ran too fast, and Mama Fang thought she went to the side hall, but she didn't expect to come to Dongnuan Pavilion. When Mama Fang saw that there were foreign ministers, she quickly blessed her body.

Xu Jiao nodded in greeting.

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has something to do, we have to go back." Fang Mo reminded.

Anian pouted.

Xu Jiao said softly, "See you next time."

Anian thought for a while, then leaned forward and kissed her.

Xu Jiao was stunned, and Mommy Fang was stunned.

Xu Jiao couldn't help laughing, "Little baby, you can't kiss anyone casually~"

A Nian kissed again.

Xu Jiao sighed, "Well, you are an exception."

Mommy Fang has a headache.

When Chen Xiuyuan entered, his eyes were straight, "A Nian..."

Anian turned to look at him, "Dabu."

Xu Jiao couldn't help laughing when he heard the word Dabu. Chen Xiuyuan stepped forward, "Xu Jiao, Your Majesty is here."

Xu Jiao waved with Anian, "See you next time, Your Highness."

A Nian blinked, "Beautiful little brother, what's your name?"

Chen Xiuyuan: "..."

Xu Jiao smiled gently, "Xu Jiao."

Chen Xiuyuan corrected, "My name is Xu Xiang."

A Nian smiled sweetly, "Xu Xiang~"

Madam Fang hurriedly led the person away, "Your Highness."

Ah Nian didn't forget to look back, "See you again with Xu Xiang~"

Xu Jiao's heart seemed to melt.

Chen Xiuyuan sighed, "Don't mind, His Highness is too young."

Xu Jiao smiled, "I don't mind."

Such a soft and cute little bun...

Chen Xiuyuan sighed in his heart, this guy A Nian is simply breathtaking.

After entering the hall, Xu Jiao cupped his hands, "Qinghe has seen His Majesty Emperor Huan, His Majesty is safe."

Chen Ling said with a friendly smile, "It's not a formal occasion. I'm here to meet you. Come and give me a seat."

Xu Jiao was good-natured, Chen Xiuyuan was there to accompany him, and Qishan called someone to serve tea.

Chen Ling continued, "It's the palace banquet at night. Right now, I'm just talking to me. I haven't seen you for a long time. Is this journey going smoothly?"

Xu Jiao replied, "Thanks to King Jingping's care, everything went smoothly."

"Have Guanzhi take you around in Beijing these few days?" Chen Ling picked up the teacup.

Xu Jiao said truthfully, "It's too cold, we're all staying in the post house, and we'll wait two more days."

Chen Ling couldn't help laughing. It was like being in the same place with Xu Jiao, and the words were not deliberate or boring. Originally, they didn't talk about business when they first met, but Xu Jiao was very smart and knew how to get closer.

Chen Ling put down the tea cup, "How is your Majesty Yuan Emperor?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Your Majesty has a healthy body and a healthy body. Let the foreign ministers greet Your Majesty on your behalf. This time, I heard that Huaicheng was ups and downs, and Your Majesty is blessed."

Xu Jiao said a word, and he was concerned but not abrupt.

Chen Ling smiled, "Qinghe, I am very happy that you can come this time. After the palace banquet, we will discuss in detail."

Xu Jiao stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Ling said towards Chen Xiuyuan, "The evening palace banquet, it is still daytime, crown it, you take Xu Xiang to the palace for a walk."

"Yes!" Chen Xiuyuan stood up.

After leaving the Lihe Palace, Chen Xiuyuan was talking to Xu Jiaozheng and happened to meet A Nian.

Chen Xiuyuan just thought of something, when he really saw Ah Nian come forward, "Xu Xiang Xu Xiang, I see you again~"
