For half a month, Xia Yan changed his bad habits, went to bed early and got up early every day, took the time to read serious books, practice riding and shooting, and lived an unprecedentedly peaceful and comfortable life.When Emperor Jianping came out suddenly, he was impatient and immediately refused: "I don't want to get married!"

Emperor Jianping frowned, "Why not?"

Xia Yan pouted, "I don't want to."

Emperor Jianping scoffed, "Marriage is a major matter, you can't help but think about it."

Xia Yan said, "I'm still young."

Emperor Jianping said: "20 years old, not too young."

With a bitter face, Xia Yan stretched out his foot and kicked the smooth floor of the imperial study, and said in a low voice, "But it's not too big."

"Stub mouth! Stand still!" Emperor Jianping yelled, then sighed, and leaned back on the dragon chair, "I just learned to be a little obedient, but I went back so soon? Manchao civil and military, harem Junxiu, including your imperial brothers , who dares to stand in front of me like you and talk nonsense?! It's too presumptuous, do you want to be punished again?"

Xia Yan stood with his feet together, head down and hands down.After a stalemate for a while, Emperor Jianping softened his tone and said, "You need to know that it is a special grace I bestow on you by asking you about your preferences in advance of the marriage. No one else has it. Are you still not satisfied?"

Xia Yan's lips moved, but he didn't speak.

Emperor Jianping saw it and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xia Yan: "I want to be stubborn."

Emperor Jianping: "..."

Picking up the teacup and putting it down again, he just felt that talking to this son would be more angry than dealing with corrupt officials all day, so he closed his eyes and said, "Speak."

Xia Yan whispered: "Brother Prince and Brother Ameng got married because they liked each other."

"This matter is complicated, and there are many details that you don't know, but you have to understand that if I hadn't nodded, Zhao'er and Han Mengliu would never have gotten married even if they fell in love forever. Zhao'er is the crown prince with a heavy responsibility, and his actions will lead to each other. And move the whole body, but you are different." Emperor Jianping looked at Xia Yan, his majestic tiger eyes were a little soft, "Tell me, what do you like? As long as you open your mouth, I will make your wish come true. Your prince brother and three The older brother has the physique of Xuanwu, the second elder brother has the physique of Shenlong, they all marry wives, you have the physique of Suzaku, rather than marrying a wife, I hope you find a good husband and live a carefree life."

On the continent where the Great Qi Kingdom is located, newborns are divided into four physiques according to their ability to conceive: the white tiger physique is the easiest to conceive, and the process is the smoothest, followed by the red bird, although the dragon physique can conceive, but the process is difficult, and the Xuanwu physique cannot conceive. .Most women are born either white tiger or red bird, while men are born with all four possibilities.When getting married, people often take the physical fitness as the prerequisite to facilitate pregnancy, but there are no exceptions.

Hearing this, Xia Yan fell silent.In the past two years, he and Emperor Jianping have not established much father-son relationship, and Emperor Jianping always criticizes him, which makes him a little conflicted.But at this moment, he felt a trace of warmth from these few words, and his chest felt a little hot.

"...I, I didn't think about this." He whispered, his momentum weakened.

"Then go back and think about it, and tell me when you've made up your mind, or tell the Ministry of Rites directly." Emperor Jianping said, "But I thought about it, I think Cheng Xi is pretty good, what do you think?"

Xia Yan immediately felt his scalp numb and stared, what, what do you mean?Are he and Cheng Xi going to get married again? !They just said goodbye just now, and Cheng Xi doesn't like him like this, besides, he still... No, no, no, absolutely no!

Emperor Jianping said again: "You don't object, it seems that there is no objection."

Xia Yan: "!!!"

Emperor Jianping: "That's it."

Xia Yan: "!!!!!!"

Emperor Jianping: "Your marriage is fully entrusted to him. If you have any ideas, just go to him."

Xia Yan: "........."

That's what it meant.

Hmph, it made him break out in a cold sweat.

It feels deliberate.

Xia Yan raised his head, and Emperor Jianping was drinking tea leisurely, his eyes were relaxed, implying a look of satisfaction.

After returning, he lay down on the bed and rolled around in a collapsed state: Why did Cheng Xi get involved again after everything was fine?What would Cheng Xi do if he knew it?Do things as well as you taught him to learn before, or...

ah!Don't want to think about it, but can't control it!His father kept telling him to go to Cheng Xi to discuss it, so annoying!

He straightened up and sat up straight, with his messy hair on his head, his fidgety eyes tangled fiercely for a while, and finally jumped out of bed to pack himself, and went to the etiquette department alone.

The six government offices were outside the imperial city. He seldom went there, and his mood was disturbed. He got lost on the road for a while, went back and forth a few times, and finally touched the courtyard wall of the Ministry of Rites, but he didn't dare to go in - he came on a whim. I didn't even think about what to say to Cheng Xi.

So he sneaked around outside the courtyard wall, found a secluded place and entrenched for half an hour, watching the people coming and going in the yamen, but there was no Cheng Xi, so he went back discouraged.

So the next day.

Still the same on the third day.

On the fourth day, he came up with a good idea: there was a circle of flower-shaped hollows cut out on the wall of the yamen courtyard of the Ministry of Rites. He brought two stools, stacked them together and stood on them, and finally got a glimpse of the real face of the yamen from the palm-sized hollow!

The yard is clean, with a big tree on both sides, and the main room is upright. Although you can't see the inside of the room, you can imagine the officials sitting and busy in it.

In the official system of Daqi, the six ministers and the servants have a separate room, and the doctor leads the officials of each department to work together, so Cheng Xi must be sitting at the front of the hall, and the desk chair must be the largest and the best!

Ah, it is much better to serve the people of the country here, and have colleagues learn from each other and improve, than he is crooked in the Anglo-National Pavilion doing nothing all day long!

envious.

Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind——

"Your Highness?!"

He was startled, and looked down while holding the courtyard wall, and it really was Cheng Xi!

The dark green doctor's official uniform is straight and straight, with a thin waist tied out by a jade belt, a black gauze hat is firmly worn, and half a bunch of long hair is meticulously draped on his shoulders. He is tall and tall, with an extraordinary temperament, and his face...

Why is his face a little tired?Are you too busy?

Preoccupied, he forgot his situation for a moment, his feet slackened, and the stacked round stool twisted, and he fell down with an "ah", and fell into Cheng Xi's arms as a matter of course, blushing as a matter of course, and immediately got out of the embrace. He stepped back and bowed his head repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you... I didn't mean to."

With a shallow sigh above his head, Cheng Xi asked, "Are you looking for me? Why don't you go in?"

"I, I, I am not..." Xia Yan waved his hands quickly, and somehow became nervous again, obviously he was able to get along with Cheng Xi naturally before!

Cheng Xi said: "The Holy Majesty has issued an order, and I know it all."

Xia Yan suddenly became more nervous.

"So, are you here to tell me what kind of husband you want?"

Xia Yan moved his hands back and forth, but he didn't dare to raise his head, "No, no...not..."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Xia Yan was silent, shrinking her body, wishing in every possible way that she would be invisible.

He doesn't know what to do here, he just wants to come!

Soon, the top of his head sighed again. It seemed that Cheng Xi was completely helpless towards him, but unexpectedly, his sleeve moved suddenly, and his right arm was lifted up.

Looking up in surprise, he saw Cheng Xi's broad and straight back, holding him back with one hand, walked to the stone bench beside the palace road, turned around and sat down.

Xia Yan also sat down, their shoulders were next to each other, they didn't speak, just looked at the high sky, smelled the fragrance of trees and grass leaves, and gradually calmed down.

"Look at your complexion, haven't you had enough rest these days?" After a long while, Cheng Xi spoke first.

Xia Yan was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Fortunately, it's just... I'm very annoyed if my father insists on marrying me." His legs swayed back and forth, thinking that he had obviously noticed that Cheng Xi's complexion was not good, but I didn't take the initiative to ask, and it seems deliberate to ask again at this time, hey.

"You don't want to get married?" Cheng Xi asked.

Xia Yan said forcefully, "Of course!"

"So firm?" Cheng Xi asked again.

"Yeah!" Xia Yan nodded seriously.

"Why?" Cheng Xi's tone was a little surprised.

Xia Yan paused, he couldn't explain the real reasons one by one right now, so he could only say: "Anyway, I just don't want to, it's decided." Turning his head, he saw a little bewildered look on Cheng Xi's face, and then he seemed to have a little regret, and then he just said something All gone.

"Okay." Cheng Xi said, "Since this matter is entrusted to me, I will definitely not go against your will."

Xia Yan was confused: what does this mean?

After chatting for a few more words, Cheng Xi said that he still had business to do, so he left first.Xia Yan looked at the back of him leaving in official uniform, and remembered an old incident——

It was the twelfth lunar month not long after the wedding that year, and Cheng Xi got up early every day, wearing a thin official uniform, it was cold to look at.After much deliberation, he decided to take the initiative.

When Cheng Ximao stood up and walked out of the screen with his jacket in his hands, Cheng Xi who was outside the screen was taken aback for a moment, he turned his head away and said in a low voice, "I'll help you get dressed."

Cheng Xi was obviously more stunned, and there was still a hint of joy in the stunned. He hurriedly explained: "It's cold, and the official uniform is thin. You can't just wear a middle coat." Take his arms and put on his jacket.

Cheng Xi smiled and said, "I'm actually not cold, I have internal strength." Then he added, as if thinking of something, "But you should wear a jacket, and you will get tired if you use your internal strength to fight the cold all the time. Thank you, madam."

Only then did he understand, and he also laughed, laughing that he didn't understand the warrior's body, he was too worried before, and also laughed that Cheng Xi subconsciously told the truth, but he was afraid of hurting his heart, so he changed his words immediately.

After wearing the jacket, you have to wear an official uniform with a large official hat. He is a head shorter than Cheng Xi, and when he is wearing the official hat, he raises his head and tiptoes, so his eyes meet each other, and he is guilty of avoiding it. He suppresses his nervousness and goes as calmly as possible. Look at Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi also looked at him, his deep and passionate eyes were motionless, and all his preparations were defeated in one fell swoop, so he had no choice but to quickly straighten his clothes, and don't dodge at the beginning: "...It's done."

"lady."

A gentle voice sounded above his head.

"Can I hug you? I think that after a short separation between husband and wife, they should all hug."

He was silent.

A moment later, Cheng Xi's strong arms came up, and his strong chest leaned up. His chest was throbbing, his breathing was rapid, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

At night, Xia Yan lay on the couch where Cheng Xi once slept in the warm pavilion, and repeatedly savored that hug—it was the warmest and safest embrace he had ever felt so far.

During the day today, it was that slender and elegant person who sat with him, but calmed him down for a moment.

The next day, an unexpected visitor came to the Nuan Pavilion.

"Fourth Highness, Fourth Highness!" Xue Chenxing looked anxious, and even forgot the ceremony, he threw himself in front of Xia Yan, "Something happened! Cheng Xi contradicted the emperor for your marriage, the emperor was furious, and released him! "
