Rong Cheng retracted his hand in shock. Seeing that Chen Huai's cheeks were slightly red from the beating he had just made, he let go of Yuan Yuan in his arms out of pain. He stroked Chen Huai's slightly hot cheeks with his fingers and couldn't help asking:

"Does it hurt?"

Chen Huai took his finger, put it to his lips and kissed it gently, "It hurts. If you cry again, my heart will hurt even more. Please don't torture me, okay? I would rather you give me another twenty lashes."

What he said was true, he couldn't bear to see this person cry. A beauty shedding tears was the most pitiful thing, but Rong Cheng would feel distressed when she cried.

Rong Cheng glared at him unhappily and said in a nasal voice: "What, after I whip you, will I give you another chance to collect medicine for other people's injuries?"

In fact, he knew that he was the one who said the wrong thing first, and he also knew that Chen Huai was not that kind of person.

Rong Cheng has always been calm and restrained, but meeting this playboy always stirs up his emotions and makes it impossible for him to make calm judgments. This is not a good thing for an emperor, but he is like a moth to a flame and can't help but get closer.

Thinking about the cold war between the two of them during this period, it was originally his fault. Today, he hit him in a fit of rage. Rong Cheng felt distressed and blamed himself. He softly hooked his arms around Chen Huai's neck, kissed the place on his cheek where he was hit, leaned on his shoulder, and admitted his fault:

“It’s my fault”

Ouch! This action really confused the romantic Mr. Chen. He just knelt there like an idiot, his heart pounding wildly.

Rong Cheng saw that he was stiff and thought that he was still bothered by what happened before. He stood up and looked at him affectionately, saying seriously:

"Ahuai, you asked me before where I put you, I will tell you now"

Then he took Chen Huai's hand and placed it on his chest:

"Here, Ah Huai, you are with me. The road to becoming an emperor is always lonely. I never thought that you would appear as an accident. It is a wonderful accident that allows me to touch the wind and sunshine. I promise you that I will discuss things with you in the future and will not let you worry anymore, okay?"

Chen Huai looked at Rong Cheng in a daze. He didn't expect him to say such a thing. A surge of emotions surged in his heart, numb and sweet, rushing straight to his brain and then surging down.

Chen Huai's forehead was sweating. He looked at Rong Cheng impatiently and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you still eating?"

kindness?

Rong Cheng thought that Chen Huai hadn't eaten yet, so he quickly said, "It's probably cold. I'll ask them to serve it again. You must be hungry."

As he was about to get up, he was pushed down on the dragon bed by Chen Huai. Chen Huai raised the corners of his lips and smiled wantonly and romantically:

"No need to bother. I think this beauty in front of me is very delicious and suits my taste very well."

Rong Cheng understood, his face turned red with embarrassment, his eyes wandered: "You really are..."

He simply couldn't say anything, and he didn't care to say anything. That person was so domineering and gentle, and he really had a firm grip on him...

The next day, when Chen Huai returned to the Imperial Household Department, Xiao Anzi came up to him sleepily and yawned:

"Godfather, you're on duty so early today."

Chen Huai smiled meaningfully. It was ridiculous. He had not left the palace earlier.

"Go, make me a cup of Longjing tea. I want the latest one that Xiao Daoling brought."

The newly appointed Grand Marshal Xiao Daoling was in his thirties. Although he was much older than Chen Huai, they had very similar personalities and they got along very well after just a few encounters.

Even Xiao Daoling has always admired Chen Huai for his plan to capture Pei An, and has never looked down on his eunuch status, so the two of them have become good friends now.

Xiao Anzi nodded:

"The Longjing tea that Commandant Xiao brought is really good. Last time, you gave me some to drink. I still remember the aftertaste. It's really... Hey, Godfather, what's wrong with the wound on your neck?"

Xiao Anzi approached with concern, but was pulled away by Chen Huai, who lifted his collar:

"Go away, it's no big deal, it's just a scratch by a cat, why make a fuss about it"

Xiao Anzi scratched his head and said: "What kind of cat is this? Its claws are so sharp and the blood marks are so long. It's scary to see."

After he mentioned it, Chen Huai felt some pain in his back. He held back his laughter and thought to himself: This is not scary at all. I'll show you my back. It will scare you to death.

Thinking of what happened last night, Chen Huai still feels a little euphoric, both physically and mentally relaxed.

"Okay, go ahead and pour it for me."

As he spoke, Chen Huai stretched out his arms, stretched his muscles, and walked into the inner room.

Xiao Anzi looked at Chen Huai's broad shoulders, narrow waist and strong arms from behind, and stretched out his own arms to compare, shaking his head in admiration:

"It's really the godfather, unfathomable, that figure, that muscle, can an ordinary eunuch have that?"

After saying this, he went to make tea for Chen Huai with a proud look on his face.

When Xiao Anzi had just brought in the tea, Mingxi also walked into the Imperial Household Department, smiling broadly and bowing, saying:

"Master, congratulations."

Xiao Anzi looked at the tray in the hands of the young eunuch behind Mingxi, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Huai excitedly. Chen Huai, on the other hand, remained calm, stood up and brushed his clothes.

Ming Xi looked solemn and said loudly while holding the scroll: "Chen Huai, the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department, listen to your orders."

Chen Huai knelt on one knee: "I am here"

The palace maids from the Imperial Household Department and the Embroidered Uniform Guard all knelt down.

Mingxi opened the imperial edict and read it aloud:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, declares that Chen Huai, the Seal Holder of the Imperial Household Department, has been brave in protecting the Emperor in Shu and has made great contributions in exposing the rebellion of Prince Ruichang. He is hereby appointed as the Captain of the Yue Cavalry and awarded a thousand taels of silver. This is decreed."

Chen Huai: "I thank you for your grace."

After saying that, he stood up and took the imperial edict from Mingxi. Xiao Anzi was very discerning and went over to give silver to Mingxi and the young eunuch, and then invited Mingxi to have tea.

Mingxi smiled and declined: "I will come to ask for a cup of tea some other day. I have to go to the court now, so I will leave first."

Chen Huai smiled and said, "Take care, father-in-law."

When Xiao Anzi sent Mingxi away and came in to congratulate his godfather, he saw Chen Huai had changed into casual clothes and asked in confusion:

"Godfather, are you going to leave the palace?"

Chen Huai specially found a high-necked navy blue brocade robe and adjusted it in front of the mirror:

"Of course, if I don't leave quickly, the ministers who come to congratulate me will definitely block me."

Thinking of that scene, he got a headache, but he had to attend the social event, so he immediately said, "If anyone comes, tell them I'm out of the palace on official business."

With that, he hurried out of the door. Xiao Anzi, who was watching from behind, covered his mouth and laughed. His godfather was indeed a maverick. No wonder he was so highly regarded by the emperor. Most people loved compliments, but he was the only one who couldn't even avoid them.

It was unique for a eunuch to reach the position of his godfather, and the key was that no one was dissatisfied. He heard that even the most trouble-finding censor Yan Zheng praised his godfather.

Chen Huai really couldn't stand dealing with those situations, so he went out of the palace to play for a day. He also took the time to go to Xiao Daoling's mansion for a drink, and then returned to the palace when the palace gates were locked.

He was dizzy all the way, and used his lightness skills to avoid the crowd and the secret guards of De Shou Palace, and hid directly in the bedroom of his Majesty the Emperor.
