Qin Xiaolou raised the curtain of the car, poked his head out and looked up at the sky.A hand was put on his shoulder, and a hot breath was pressed behind his ear: "Ah, it looks like there will be a storm in a while." The man who made the sound immediately raised his voice: "Hurry up to the town ahead Take shelter from the rain!" The soldiers in front responded, "Yes! Your Highness!"

Qin Xiaolou sighed, retracted his body into the carriage, leaned on the carriage board and closed his eyes to rest.

A few days ago, Qin Xiaolou resolutely proposed to go back to Beijing, but Zhao Pingzhen didn't mean to stop him at all, but said lightly, "I just want to go back to Beijing to report my job", and after a few days, he packed up his things and Qin Xiaolou went on the road together.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaolou couldn't help sighing secretly: Return to Beijing for a job review?I've never heard him talk about it before, but now he's leaving on official business, Zhao Pingzhen is really... wanton and reckless!

After a while, it really started to rain lightly, the sky was dark and thick, and the wind outside the car was howling, which was the beginning of a heavy rainstorm.The carriage rushed towards the town in a hurry, the body kept bumping, Zhao Pingzhen couldn't sit still, his body kept colliding with the carriage, he simply lay down on the thick wool felt, and said lazily to Qin Xiaolou: "Come here Give me a shoulder squeeze."

Qin Xiaolou was concerned about Qin Chengxue's illness in his heart, seeing his indifferent appearance, he couldn't help feeling a little sullen, and said coldly, "I'm very tired, Your Highness."

Zhao Pingzhen still lay there with his eyes closed, as if he didn't hear his rejection.The more Qin Xiaolou looked at him like this, the more guilty he felt, and he simply closed his eyes and rested his mind not to look at him.

After a while, Qin Xiaolou suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and he was actually pulled from the seat and pressed hard on the carriage board.He opened his eyes, only to see Zhao Pingzhen pressing his whole body weight on him, pinching his chin, with a cold expression on his face: "Qin Mingdong, your courage is getting bigger and bigger."

Qin Xiaolou let out a muffled snort, but Zhao Pingzhen pressed him even tighter, pressing his elbow between his ribs, until his expression changed and he could hardly breathe.Zhao Pingzhen's thin lips opened and closed less than three inches in front of his eyes: "I think you were more thoughtful back then than you are now. As soon as I stretched out my hand, you knew what I wanted. Now I can't even invite you?"

Qin Xiaolou couldn't help being dazed, and couldn't help thinking about the situation seven or eight years ago.At that time, he spent almost all his thoughts on guessing Zhao Pingzhen's thoughts. With just one look from Zhao Pingzhen, he knew whether he was cold or hot, hungry or thirsty, bored or sleepy.Because of this, he became a celebrity in the blink of an eye in front of Zhao Pingzhen.However, later on, as Zhao Pingzhen gained power, his mind gradually shifted to making contributions, but he didn't care so much about Zhao Pingzhen's well-being.However, years of getting along with each other made him know Zhao Pingzhen's likes and preferences almost like the palm of his hand. At the time when he was very careful and guessed wrong, now even with only a little thought, he knows exactly what Zhao Pingzhen wants!

He is slavish to Zhao Pingzhen, and the nearly ten years of getting along has made him engrave this slavishness into his bone marrow. God knows how many times he has suppressed his urge to add tea, food, rub shoulders and legs for Zhao Pingzhen along the way!The moment before Zhao Pingzhen asked him to squeeze his shoulders, he almost rushed over to stretch Zhao Pingzhen's muscles and bones!Now that Zhao Pingzhen is oppressing him like this, he almost wants to open his mouth to surrender, but the moment he meets Zhao Pingzhen's pupils full of indifference and alienation, he is troubled by a huge sense of exhaustion, and he really wants to just close his eyes and not wake up. So he didn't answer Zhao Pingzhen's words, and really closed his eyes.

Zhao Pingzhen looked at him in confusion for a while, and indeed felt the exhaustion emanating from him from the inside out, so he got up from him, pulled him to lie down on his lap, adjusted a comfortable posture for him, and began to gently Gently massage the acupuncture points on his shoulder and neck: "Go to sleep for a while." After years of getting along, not only Qin Xiaolou fully understands Zhao Pingzhen, but Zhao Pingzhen can also feel all Qin Xiaolou's feelings.

Zhao Pingzhen's transformation was too fast. One moment he was an indifferent tyrant, and the next moment he became a considerate partner.However, Qin Xiaolou didn't feel any discomfort, and soon fell asleep while lying on his lap.

When Qin Xiaolou woke up again, the rain outside had stopped and the sky was getting dark. The carriage had been parked outside an official inn for an unknown amount of time.Qin Xiaolou lifted the curtain of the car, and found that other luggage and carriages had been placed properly, and there were only seven or eight guards left outside the car. He immediately understood in his heart: Zhao Pingzhen used his legs to cushion him in order not to wake him up. I don't know how long I waited until he woke up naturally.

Sure enough, Zhao Pingzhen thumped his stiff legs, tried to bend them up, but frowned suddenly, and waited for a long time before he could get out of the car freely.Standing by the car, Qin Xiaolou watched him walk down gracefully, but the hem of his clothes was wrinkled out of place, so he couldn't help calling: "Your Highness."

Zhao Pingzhen glanced at him casually, and expressed his doubts with a voice from his throat: "Huh?"

Qin Xiaolou just lowered his eyes, stepped forward and tugged the hem of his clothes for him, supported him calmly and said, "Go in."

It's all acting.Qin Xiaolou acted in a flattering drama, Zhao Pingzhen acted in a drama that wins people's hearts, the two of them played back and forth for ten years, just to compete for the best of their acting skills.A King Rui with a low brow and a pleasing military exploits does not show any thoughts on his face; a loyal subordinate who hugs him always has a careless expression.But I don't know whose heart it is, the wind is surging, and the undercurrent is surging.

Half a month later, the group returned to Lin'an.

After Zhao Pingzhen entered Beijing, he didn't care about Qin Xiaolou and Qin Chengxue anymore, and rushed into the palace to meet Zhao Nanke.Zhao Nanke was holding a letter and sitting in the upper study room when the palace servants announced the news. Hearing that Zhao Pingzhen had returned, he looked even more frowning, and left Zhao Pingzhen outside to dry for nearly an hour before calling him in study.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Nanke condescendingly looked down at Zhao Pingzhen who was kneeling in front of him, and said with a dark face, "Fifth brother, your courage really grows with age!"

Zhao Pingzhen didn't change his face: "It was the emperor's brother who said in the letter that he hoped to meet his younger brother sooner. The younger brother did not dare to disobey the imperial decree, and he missed the emperor's brother very much, so he came back."

Zhao Nanke's hands tightened, and the letter delivered three days ago was crushed into a ball by him.He snorted heavily: "Fifth brother is really fast, the messenger just arrived three days ago, and you came back in the blink of an eye!"

Zhao Pingzhen became more and more confident: "The younger brother wants to give the emperor a surprise."

Zhao Nanke rolled his eyes towards the sky, wanting to pat the table for a while, and then just throwing the table up and forget it. After hesitating for a long time, his hand that was frozen in mid-air fell limply, and his tone softened: "You say go!" Let’s go, have things in Pingcheng been arranged?”

Zhao Pingzhen also smiled a little: "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I won't dereliction of duty."

Zhao Nanke sighed heavily: "Get up!"

When Qin Xiaolou reached the gate of the Qin Mansion, he hesitated.Back then when he redeemed his father's old house, he carried the plaque himself, and it was the elated Qin Chengxue who climbed up the ladder to hang the plaque.All these years since he left, the Qin Mansion has not changed in any way, the brick he was when he left is the same brick now, but he can't help but feel strange.Nothing has changed, but his heart has changed.

The so-called timidity of being close to the hometown, his heart was tied to Qin Chengxue all the way, and he wished he could grow wings and fly back.However, now there is only one gate across, he is suddenly afraid and dare not go in to see his younger brother, and even regrets returning here from Pingcheng.As for what he was afraid of, even he himself couldn't explain.
