The happy life of the devil and the devil

According to Yuan Shao's habit in the past, he always slept on the inner side of the bed, and the servants—whether it was the concubine serving the bed or the palace servant who happened to be favored by him, who couldn't even be a concubine, all stayed on the outer bed. It is convenient to wait for his uncle to wake up in the middle of the night, and occasionally drink water to wake up all night or something.

However, since meeting Ling Yucheng, it seems that he has been sleeping in another bed?

What did you think at that time?The first time I just saw Ling Yucheng procrastinating and refusing to go to bed, I found it interesting, so I gave the order half as a urging and half as a trick, and then...

Recalling carefully, I just instinctively felt at that time that this person had to be watched under my nose and held tightly with all my heart, otherwise, as long as I opened my eyes one day, I would find that the person had disappeared without a trace. without a trace.

So, since that time, have you taken him to heart?

Seeing Ling Yucheng like the first time, trying his best to behave naturally, but still sitting at the end of the bed with some restraint, raised his eyes to meet him, and for some reason, this past flashed across Yuan Shao's heart.

"Some things, I thought it was time to tell you, but it seems that I have rushed... But since I have already started, let's just spread it out and make it clear."

Ling Yucheng pursed his lips tightly and straightened up slightly.Because of martial arts, in fact, whether he is standing or sitting, he always keeps his back straight. This time, his posture does not change much, it only makes him look like he is facing a big enemy.Yuan Shao saw his every move and every move, secretly amused in his heart, but insisted on not showing any signs of expression, just continued leisurely:

"I once promised you that I will only treat you as a courtier. Since I have something to say first, I will never touch you unless you want to."

He raised a finger and made a "stop" gesture. Seeing Ling Yucheng's lips that were eager to open were closed again, Yuan Shao lowered his arm, and continued slowly:

"I don't need to say that I'm willing to serve you in the future—I won't use my status as emperor to persecute others, especially..."

He deliberately prolonged his voice, and in his soft tone, he let out a little smile inadvertently:

"...the person I like."

……Like it?

Ling Yucheng moved his legs and feet, and changed from sitting cross-legged to kneeling more solemnly. His fingers landed on his knees, and he clasped them tightly naturally.The pain from the knee bend was sharp and distinct, but even this pain couldn't restrain his bewilderment.

What Yuan Shao said...is the truth.

Every word is true.

He doesn't need to go through any calculation and evaluation at all, just relying on the resonance between instincts, he also knows.

They are all the same people.He is so proud that he doesn't bother to deceive and use force, and he is also so proud that he is unwilling to give in to even the slightest imperfection.

Thinking back on the confession in the bath hall before, it was a polite refusal at a light level, but it was an insult to Yuan Shao's character at a serious level.Unless he is willing, or to put it more bluntly, unless the two are truly in love, even if they are sent to the door, Yuan Shao will not touch him a finger.

But, like...?

He said, life wishes to be in the same quilt, and death wishes to have the same acupuncture points.

He said, I will not force you.

He said, you are the one I like...

He solemnly made the promise, and he respected everything he said and did. He didn't get angry after being rejected once, and he was even willing to speak again...

It stands to reason that just this kindness is worthy of his repayment, without complaint or regret.

but,

but……

The surging heat surged to his mouth several times, but Yuan Shao was defeated by Yuan Shao's eyes that seemed to know everything.After thinking about it again and again, Ling Yucheng finally turned his mind and spoke after deliberation:

"Your Majesty, the minister is not—the minister said to His Majesty before that once His Majesty dies, he must follow the ground, it's just..."

"Just what?"

It's just to be a minister and be loyal to His Majesty.Facing Yuan Shao's slowly becoming meaningful smile, Ling Yucheng couldn't say the last few words no matter what, he could only lower his head, and swallowed all the strange words.

The deep laughter gradually approached, followed by a slap mercilessly on the top of the head, knocking him forward, almost throwing his head on the mattress. "You would have followed me two years ago. It's just Changsheng. Even if you made the same decision two years ago and two years later, the reasons are always different, right?"

That is natural.

If it was only for himself two years ago, at least half of it is for Yuan Shao today two years later.

"I didn't force you to give an answer tonight. Why is it so embarrassing? Anyway, you are already one of my people. If I tell you to run away, you won't be able to run away..."

The voice gradually became blurred, Ling Yucheng lightened his body, and was almost picked up and pushed to the inner bed. He watched Yuan Shao lay down beside him, turned over, and flicked out the light with his fingers.The room darkened one by one, and his voice was filled with deep sleepiness like running water:

"It's late, go to sleep...you are tired today, and you have to go to bed early tomorrow..."

The autumn wind is slightly cool, and the autumn moon is like frost.

The dog days have passed, and the mat on the bed has been replaced by the delicate and flexible asparagus grass from the cold bamboo strips.Because it was early autumn, brocade quilts were not used yet, only a thin velvet blanket was randomly piled up on the bed.

The camel-colored velvet is light and soft, and the five-color horses embroidered with silk thread are galloping like alive, touching the cheeks like nothing. It is one of the newly spun tributes from Qingzhou.Last winter, Qingzhou paid 200 blankets for this type of blanket, Yuan Shao kept five for his own use, and rewarded the rest.I heard that blankets that are a circle smaller than this one can be sold for [-] taels on the market, and there is no price at all.At that time, he was still teasing Ling Yucheng, whether he wanted to give him some money as the emperor.

As the autumn wind blew, Yuan Shao closed his eyes and grabbed the blanket casually, but his hands were empty.He stretched out his arm in a daze, waved it up and down, and drew a half circle around the shoulder. His fingertips could not touch anything except the fine texture of the asparagus mat.

What about people...?

Yuan Shao reluctantly opened his eyes.In the darkness, Ling Yucheng shrank far away with his back to him. There was a distance of three feet between the two of them, and they couldn't touch anyone with their arms outstretched.He didn't know how many times he wrapped the blanket that could cover the entire bed when it was shaken, and rolled up into a big silkworm chrysalis, including the person and the blanket.

Alas...some things were said too early today... I remember that before the northern tour, Ling Yucheng would already fall asleep, and spontaneously rubbed against him... It would be nice if I didn't say anything at that time, At least now there is someone who comes over to hug him, right?

This is two or three years of hard work and returning to the bridal chamber overnight...

Regretfully and nostalgicly recalling the feeling of holding someone in his arms, Yuan Shao smiled wryly to himself in his heart, and finally closed his eyes with a yawn.Too sleepy, anyway, it's just a little cold but not very cold, it doesn't matter if you sleep all night with nothing covered...

Before the upper eyelids were glued to the upper and lower eyelids, the man moved over, and wiped his palm on Ling Yucheng's forehead, the palm was wet, and it was true that his forehead was covered with fine sweat.Listening to his breath, he slept very deeply, but he wrapped himself tightly in the heat, what were he thinking...

Yuan Shao sighed, grabbed the corner of the blanket and shook it, shaking the man out of the blanket, and finally pulled half of the blanket over his body as he wished and fell asleep.This sleep was much more comfortable, and when he woke up again, there was already a hazy light outside the window, Yuan Shao closed his eyes and stretched his hands and feet, the other half of the blanket was soaked in cold, and he could not feel the slightest body temperature arrive.

"Changsheng..." He muttered vaguely, barely lifting his heavy eyelids.As expected, the person is still there, almost in a standard "lying like a bow" side-lying posture, but the whole person is leaning forward, with his left arm across his chest, and his right arm wrapping around his shoulders to hug him, with most of his body stuck inside on the wall of the bed.

Yuan Shao had reason to believe that if there was half a foot of space between the wall and the big bed they slept in, Ling Yucheng's posture could completely embed himself between the wall and the bed.

Haven't noticed him having this problem before?what is it today?

Yuan Shao weighed it in his stomach, and decisively deleted the item "I was scared so I had to avoid me".Then, he shook off the blanket and wrapped it around Ling Yucheng's body, and dragged back the person who was deeply asleep and frowning tightly in his sleep.

His arms were wrapped around his waist, and he hugged the person through the blanket.

Ling Yucheng slept very badly this time.

In his sleep, he seemed to be running away desperately, with chasing soldiers brandishing shackles behind him, and in front of him, there were countless forked passages, rushing left and right, all of which were black holes, and no matter how hard he ran, he couldn't see the exit.The four walls of the corridor seemed to be still burning with raging fire, and the surrounding area was scorching hot, which made him sweat profusely all over his body. He wanted to struggle, but his hands and feet were falling heavily, and he couldn't lift it up.

After fleeing for an unknown amount of time, the pursuers disappeared and the corridor disappeared, but he landed in a cold stone room, with a few piles of straw on the ground, and the word "正" crooked on the wall.Count carefully, there are five characters in total, from left to right, and the last one on the right is missing the last stroke, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they look at it.

He took something and repeatedly scratched on the wall, trying to complete the last stroke of the last "正" character, but no matter how many times he stroked, that stroke still couldn't leave a mark.I just feel that the room is getting colder and colder, colder and colder, as cold as standing on a snowy winter night, and the snow flakes are only soaked into the thin clothes.Desperately shrinking himself into a ball and sticking to the wall, he couldn't draw any heat...

Then, a warm feeling came from nowhere.Ling Yucheng moved towards the heat source, heaved a sigh of relief, and fell asleep for the first time that night.
