set of flowers

Hua Qianyu would always smile and wait for him to wake up, but this was the first time that An Mingxi could not see anyone else when he opened his eyes.

White light illuminated the entire main hall through the window lattice. An Mingxi sat up quickly the moment he noticed it, then looked down at his body covered with marks, and hurriedly covered himself again until he confirmed that there was no one else in his field of vision. Get out of bed and grab a robe from the hanger to wrap around yourself.

An Mingxi ignored the strangeness of his body, and tried not to look back on last night's tenderness because of the remaining physical sensation on his body, but the scene still flashed in his mind one after another like a comic strip, lingering.

Walking to the hall, he opened the door, and happened to see Ah Jiu guarding the door.Seeing that his cheeks were red, Ah Jiu was concerned: "Did Your Highness really catch a cold?"

An Mingxi shook his head and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Ah Jiu quickly waved his hands: "It's the young master who said that His Highness is unwell, so don't let us disturb His Highness's rest..." Hua Qianyu got up early, and guarded the gate before Ah Jiu served, and told Ah Jiu not to go in, nor let him go in. Others go in.

An Mingxi put this account on Hua Qianyu's head, but also wanted to grab Ah Jiu's ear and ask who he was.An Mingxi breathed out, and calmly asked again: "What time is it?" He said and looked at the reflection on the ground.

"It should be Chen Shi."

An Mingxi frowned, and repeated the previous words: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"The young master said that His Highness asked for leave early—"

"He asked for leave for me?" An Mingxi, who was already hot-faced, became angry for a while, which seemed to turn into anger from embarrassment.

An Qingxuan didn't want the relationship between the two to be too close. Under such circumstances, did Hua Qianyu go to declare war?

Ah Jiu hurriedly explained: "No, the young master knew it was wrong, and asked Ah Jiu to sue."

An Mingxi was speechless, and Ah Jiu returned to the original question: "Your Highness's face is so red...is it a fever? Or should I ask the imperial doctor—"

An Mingxi interrupted: "No need." He turned around to avoid Ah Jiu's sight, and asked Ah Jiu to order his servants to prepare bath water.

After washing, An Mingxi, who was about to leave the Chonghua Hall, was suddenly stopped by Ah Jiu, who said, "Your Highness, eat something to fill your stomach."

"I'm not hungry."

An Mingxi bypassed Ah Jiu, but heard him say again: "But...the concubine is ready and waits for Your Highness earlier." The dispute between the three, even if Ah Jiu, who was guarding outside the gate, didn't listen to it, he saw the one who left alone. Li Xiangling can also make a general guess, he is worried that there are still conflicts between An Mingxi and Li Xiangling - he has no plans to intervene, but he is afraid that even delivering the news will offend An Mingxi.

An Mingxi stopped, replied "OK", and then changed direction and headed towards the main hall.

……

There were five plates of exquisite breakfast on the round table, and each plate had only a few pieces of dim sum, but the dim sum had various colors and exquisite shapes, and looked quite attentive, and this conscientious person, Li Xiangling, was sitting at the table and waiting.When An Mingxi came, she stood up to greet him and poured him hot tea.

"I heard from my servant that Your Highness hasn't eaten yet." Li Xiangling continued to play the role of wife well, as if she didn't take last night's conflict to heart.She was a lot, but An Mingxi didn't intend to pretend nothing happened: "Don't tell Father, and don't tell anyone about him."

Li Xiangling smiled wryly, and shook her head: "Xiangling won't say... What kind of person is Xiangling in His Highness's heart?"

An Mingxi only said: "I will break up with him, and I will not let him appear again."

After finishing speaking, An Mingxi looked at the cakes on the table, and said, "I told you, you don't need to make these for me."

"Is it Xiangling that His Highness hates? Why does Your Highness treat Xiangling more and more..." Convinced that she had said something wrong, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she pressed her lips together tightly.

An Mingxi didn't intend to answer at first, but turned his back to him. After taking a step, he changed his mind, retracted his foot, and explained: "I... People always fall in love with people who are gentle to themselves." But being too mean can also hurt people.

"Is this His Highness' experience?"

An Mingxi didn't answer, just said "Don't like me", and walked towards the layman.

Li Xiangling looked at An Mingxi's back, and just when he was about to walk out of her sight, she shouted: "Are you sure that you won't have any interest in me?"

An Mingxi turned his head, didn't look at her, replied "yes" and disappeared around the corner.

"It's easy to like gentle people... Oh, how can I not like you like this."

Thinking of Hua Qianyu who looked like a winner, Li Xiangling took a slow and deep breath to calm down—in any case, she is An Mingxi's wife and the only one who can truly accompany An Mingxi for life.

She hasn't lost yet.

……

After a few years, An Mingxi has gone to Shangshu Province to be a loose official. Because An Qingxuan had already told Wei Zhongliang to take care of his training, An Mingxi's job as a loose official is no less leisurely than that of a ministerial official.

After submitting the official document, An Mingxi was left alone by Wei Zhongliang. When there was no one around, Wei Zhongliang talked about Hua Qianyu's succession as the general.When asked about his opinion, An Mingxi said: "Letting Hua Qianyu inherit the position of general is indeed something that my father did not think about. The Hua family has been the prime minister for three generations, and they belong to the prince's mother's family. If even the imperial guards in the capital are under Hua's control , its weight will surpass the royal family."

Wei Zhongliang sighed: "Oh, the old minister has already appealed to His Majesty, but the letter of advice submitted has not been responded to today." The emperor made a decision on the matter of promoting the weak crown to the general without consulting the prime ministers—no, Cassia Hua must have already known the inside story.

"Wei Shangshu should know that the father has been ill for the past two years, and the imperial doctor advised him to rest, so most of the political affairs are handled by Huaxiang. If the remonstrance cannot be handed over to the father in person, Huaxiang will definitely handle it." An Mingxi said that Distrust of Cassia Hua.

"Well, Your Majesty is unwilling to accept an audience, and there is nothing I can do." For more than a year, An Qingxuan, who has always been diligent in administration, was often absent from the early court, and all affairs after the court were left to Hua Jueming. Can see him after morning court.

Wei Zhongliang couldn't figure out what Hua Jueming did to make An Qingxuan, who was wary of him, return a hundredfold trust after he became seriously ill.

"I will discuss this matter with my father, Wei Shangshu can rest assured for now."

Wei Zhongliang nodded, and then asked: "What disease did your Majesty suffer from?" Judging from An Qingxuan's symptoms and the aggressive treatment of typhoid patients in the palace two years ago, all officials believed that it was tuberculosis, and Wei Zhongliang was no exception. Questions are for final confirmation only.

An Mingxi looked troubled, and Wei Zhongliang, who was not obsessed with the answer, did not ask.

"Well, His Highness can say it if he doesn't want to... But, since His Majesty's current state can no longer afford the busy government affairs, the succession may be in the next few years." It may not even last for two or three years.

An Mingxi looked at Wei Zhongliang impartially, and asked: "Wei Shangshu really thinks that I am qualified to take the throne?"

"The Fourth Highness is kind-hearted, strict with self-discipline, and talented, how can you not be qualified?"

Seeing that An Mingxi was still silent, Wei Zhongliang continued: "At the moment there may be three successors, and apart from the Fourth Highness, there are only His Royal Highness and His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness is rich in military exploits, the oldest, and the most knowledgeable, but he has no intention of serving the court. He should not be the opponent of the Fourth Highness. His Royal Highness... Sigh, although he is the first son, if His Majesty really chooses him, Daning's orthodoxy will definitely be threatened... I have heard that the Fourth Highness has a good relationship with General Hua, and the general's character , Your Highness can you trust it?"

"That's in the past, and now I have different positions with him." An Mingxi avoided Wei Zhongliang's sight a little, and his eyes fell on the bookshelf behind Wei Zhongliang, "Probably, we can't even talk together."

……

In order to prevent Hua Qianyu from showing up rashly again, An Mingxi returned to the palace as soon as he was released from the office, but until the first watch, he did not wait for the news of Hua Qianyu's visit.

Lost?An Mingxi also couldn't figure out what was going on with his weird mood, so he simply let go of everything and fell asleep earlier.Then he got into the bed, closed his eyes, and before his consciousness stepped into chaos, he heard a sound-"squeak", the window was pushed open, and then the sound of landing came into his ears, apparently someone slipped in through the window .

The visitor closed the window and walked freely, without any self-knowledge of being a thief.An Mingxi's heart pounded wildly after guessing who the "thief" was. Afraid that he could not hide his expression, An Mingxi turned around naturally, turned his back to the visitor, and buried half of his face in the quilt.

Just like hide-and-seek with my mother when I was a child, even if there is no hidden reason, this "game" is still exciting.

The visitor sat by the bed and said in a smiling voice: "Are you pretending to be asleep?" Then he reached out and rubbed his earlobe, such a touch made him almost tremble.

An Mingxi still closed his eyes, he didn't believe that Hua Qianyu really guessed that he was not asleep, but he heard Hua Qianyu say: "You really like me so much?"

--baffling.

"I just found out that I'm here, and my ears turned red...Mingxi really can't hide what's on her mind."

An Mingxi sat up quickly, patted Hua Qianyu's hand, and denied, "I didn't."

Hua Qianyu smiled and spread his hands, and said, "Okay, Ming Xi said no."

His face was very hot, even his head was hot, An Mingxi didn't need to reach out and touch himself to know how hot his face was.This blushing was for no reason, and he was so angry that he couldn't fight.

An Mingxi slowed down his breathing and asked, "How did you come in?" It was already night, even if Hua Qianyu was the commander of the imperial army, he could not freely walk through the palace without a mission.

"Naturally—he sneaked in," Hua Qianyu pinned An Mingxi's long hair behind An Mingxi's ears, so as not to let them cover An Mingxi's face, "The defense of the palace needs to be strengthened urgently."

"you!"

An Mingxi looked at Hua Qianyu, seeing Hua Qianyu smiling at him, he was at a loss for words, and it took him a while to ask: "Yesterday too?"

Hua Qianyu nodded: "I couldn't find Mingxi after I came in yesterday, so I changed my mind to enter through the palace gate, so I will meet...Prince and Concubine."

An Mingxi's face darkened: "Do you not want to be a general or do you want to die?"

"I want you." Hua Qianyu's tone was flat but firm.

An Mingxi's heart was suddenly hit hard.

This can't work——An Mingxi closed his eyes, the world was suddenly silent, but it also made him sober.When he opened his eyes, he walked around Hua Qianyu, got out of bed, turned his back to Hua Qianyu, and said, "We're done." It should have been over long ago.

Hua Qianyu remained silent, the determination in his eyes did not fade from An Mingxi's words, and he just quietly waited for An Mingxi's next words.

"Go back and don't come to see me again."

"Without you, what would I do?" Hua Qianyu took off his smiling face and walked across to him, not hiding his loneliness, "Do you want me to follow your back all my life?" "You just haven't met other— —”

Before he finished speaking, Hua Qianyu grabbed An Mingxi's face with his right hand, spread his thumbs on both sides of his cheeks, lowered his head and narrowed the distance between his eyes, and said, "You think you will choose someone else if I am gone? How naive. Since you don't want me, then you just watch here, watching with a lifetime of guilt, watching me die alone to death—you owe me, and you can't repay it in your whole life."

Brought into the picture of Hua Qianyu alone in his old age, An Mingxi's staring eyes suddenly turned red twice.

"You know I will do what I say..." Hua Qianyu approached as she spoke, and bit her red lips.

The person in front of him seemed to be fighting mentally. Although he didn't push him away, he kept his eyes and mouth tightly shut.Hua Qianyu felt cute, so he couldn't help but curled up the corners of his mouth, and licked An Mingxi's lips with the tip of his tongue, patiently probing, trying to pry open these white teeth... Just as he was about to succeed, An Mingxi pulled his He pushed it away, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and ordered: "Go back."

Hua Qianyu stroked her wet lower lip with her thumb, and stood there quietly looking at the frowning beauty in front of her.

"Go back!" An Mingxi snapped again.

Hua Qianyu raised her chin slightly, showing no intention of being obedient.

"Then you just stand!" After speaking, An Mingxi went to bed and fell asleep with his back to Hua Qianyu.
