lover in the mirror

The night in late autumn was already very cold, with gusts of cold wind blowing in from the window sills and from the cracks in the door, the air inside the house became chilly and chilly, Fu Xiaochen shrank under the quilt even though there was some heat generated by his internal energy.Beside him was Chu Yunqi's warm body, but Fu Xiaochen stayed away from him angrily, even though they were covered with a quilt, Fu Xiaochen forcibly separated a gap of half a person's width between them.

Chu Yunqi reluctantly pulled Fu Xiaochen over and suppressed his strong resistance at first, but as expected, the resistance became smaller when the two of them got close to each other, and in the end they obediently leaned against him to keep warm .

"What's the matter?" Looking at his lover like this, Chu Yunqi always felt that it was not as simple as just arguing with Mu Ran or being unhappy for not seeing Cheng Xiangyun.

"It's nothing."

"We are already lovers, why doesn't Xiaochen want to tell me?"

"It was you who didn't tell me anything first." Fu Xiaochen's tone became worse after hearing Chu Yunqi's words, "You know that we are lovers, so you don't want to tell me anything, you think I will feel better ?”

Chu Yunqi was stunned for a moment, and explained flatteringly, "Some things are too complicated, and I don't want you to bother."

"Who do you take me for?"

"Of course I..."

Before Chu Yunqi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Xiaochen, "Do you regard me as a male favourite?"

"Of course not." Chu Yunqi was a little nervous. He didn't know why Fu Xiaochen would say that suddenly. Could it be that someone chewed his tongue in front of him? Doting on such a person?"

"Raise me in the prince's mansion, give me food and clothing, give me money, but never tell me your current situation, and don't want me to do something for you, am I not like a male pet? You don't want me to bother you, you don't want me to be involved, but I'm not a dainty lady who needs your protection, so you're underestimating me."

"...I'm sorry, it's my fault." Chu Yunqi hugged Fu Xiaochen tighter, "It was my wishful thinking that this was for your own good, but I didn't know that this would humiliate you. I just hope you know, I I have always regarded you as the most important thing, if you want to listen, I will tell you everything about the court, and I will definitely discuss with you to resolve any troubles in the future."

Fu Xiaochen just gave a light grace and didn't say anything else.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed tonight, and tomorrow we will have a good chat in the study."

"Okay..." After finishing speaking, Fu Xiaochen closed his eyes and felt the warm body temperature of the person beside him. The warm and reassuring temperature made Fu Xiaochen think of the word "warm man". He must be a warm boy, but after all, he is not a girl who needs to be protected, and blindly loving him will make him feel despised.

Chu Yunqi came to the Ministry of Industry for the first time after his wedding. Fu Xiaochen smelled a restlessness. He couldn't tell whether it was the restlessness of the atmosphere or the restlessness of the people's hearts. Hostility, the few officials who usually like to talk and laugh are all secretive, and the atmosphere in the entire Ministry of Industry is a bit dignified.

In this atmosphere, Fu Xiaochen flipped through the design drawings and some documents as usual, and finally waited for the right time to see no one else, then pulled an official who was usually close to him and asked

"What's wrong with the Ministry of Industry?"

"You don't know yet? The two princes got married. Some of them went to the prince's side, and some went to the second prince's. People, you have to be careful recently."

"Thank you for the reminder, then you are also... from the prince's side?"

"No, no, no, I am nothing. I don't ask for high officials and generous salary. The safety of the whole family is the most important thing. I advise you not to be too tied to the prince while it is still too late. In my opinion, it is still the most important thing. The second prince is even more popular, so abolishing the prince is a matter of one word."

Fu Xiaochen replied with a smile, "Got it", thinking in his heart, the two of them have already been tied tightly, and at this point, just remembering each other like this now, there is a soft and warm feeling, which is even more unbearable. Separated again.

On the way back to the Prince's Mansion, Fu Xiaochen held the curtain of the carriage and leaned against the window to look at the bustling market outside. He recalled how he was at a loss when he first came to this world. At that time, he lifted the curtain with one hand and watched The scene outside was full of curiosity and uneasiness, but looking at it now, it was already commonplace.

Suddenly thinking of the time-traveling senior Cheng Xiangyun, remembering that she said that she was numb, Fu Xiaochen began to ask himself, is he also numb?Surrounded by the rich clothes and fine food in the prince's mansion, and being cared for tenderly and meticulously by Chu Yunqi, if this continues, he will really become useless.

After getting off the carriage, Fu Xiaochen stood in front of the big plaque of the Prince's Mansion and looked up at the sky in Shangdu. It was high and cold, with a blurry sun in the middle. The sun filled the air like golden dust. It is the golden waves rippling from the glazed tiles of the imperial city in the sunlight, shining so brightly that it is almost eye-catching.

Fu Xiaochen rubbed his eyes, and walked slowly into the Prince's Mansion.It was still him and Chu Yunqi who had lunch, and that Xiao Shuyu seemed to have never walked outside again, and the two went into the study one after another after lunch.

"Xiaochen..." As soon as he entered the study, Chu Yunqi took Fu Xiaochen's hand and asked him to sit on his lap. Of course Fu Xiaochen would resist this posture, but he had no choice but to resist because of the disparity in strength between us and the enemy. Just give in obediently.

"The current situation is not good for me." Chu Yunqi bluntly stated the current situation, "Although I have the secret support of my father, but the Yu family is powerful, and Chu Yunyang has been in charge of Shangdu's economy in recent years. If the lifeline is not handled properly, it will lead to economic turmoil in the Chu country and instability of people's hearts. However, it cannot be delayed any longer. When Chu Yunyang's strength develops even stronger if it is delayed, it will even cause the palace to be forced. According to Xiao Shuyu It is said that Concubine Zhen has secretly met her elder brother, who is also the deputy commander of the guards of the current palace, and is probably already planning something secretly."

Fu Xiaochen frowned slightly, "In this case, it's better to cut the mess quickly."

"It's just that there is no chance to eradicate him in one fell swoop."

"Hey, let me ask a question. It might be a little rougher. Can you find a chance to leave him alone and send a bunch of assassins to kill him, just like in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts?"

"In the early years, we sent assassins to each other, but they never succeeded. We are very wary of each other, and it is rare to seize the opportunity to place orders. What's more... the current situation, the third prince is imprisoned, and the other princes are fledgling , if he was assassinated and died, it would be very difficult for me to get rid of the relationship. In the end, maybe the snipe and the clam fight and the fisherman wins."

"Then how could he have sent someone to ambush you in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts?"

"At that time, I could pretend that I was injured by a wild beast or fell down, but now I can't find such a suitable opportunity. The rules here are different from your world. The battle for the throne requires not only strength, but also righteousness. If I take the responsibility Even if the crime of killing my brother has not been proven, even if I try to ascend to the throne of God, I will be unpopular, and those princes, princes, and even some generals and ministers will gather against me in this name."

"...So that's the case, as long as you are still the crown prince, isn't the second prince not justified?"

"That's true, but after he becomes stronger, he can secretly force the emperor to make him the crown prince."

"Then your royal father would rather die than obey. Cough, let me just talk about it. So now there are two big problems, one is how to get rid of the second prince in a sincere way, and the other is how should the power in his hands be when the second prince is down?" How to deal with it and how to stabilize Shangdu’s economy.”

"To be honest, I already have some thoughts on the first question, but the second question... Many large companies in Shangdu will be implicated once the second prince falls. At that time, people's hearts will be unstable, people will not be able to live, and it will be easier for chaos to arise. .”

"Well, if the problem becomes how to deal with the economic crisis, if you believe me, just let it go, and I can help you manage the economic turmoil in the future."

How can I say that I was also a person who experienced the economic crisis in that world. At that time, I deliberately searched the Internet for the measures that the country and individuals should take to deal with the economic crisis. Although I don’t remember clearly now, I still know the general policy.

Chu Yunqi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Fu Xiaochen with a half-smile. Fu Xiaochen thought it was because he didn't believe him, and immediately turned into a steamed face, "Hmph, do you believe it or not."

"How can I not believe it?" Chu Yunqi pinched Fu Xiaochen's bun face, it felt good, and couldn't help poking it. Seeing that the other party was about to become angry from embarrassment, he quickly stopped, "I just didn't expect Xiaochen to be a good wife .”

"..." You are the virtuous wife, and your whole family is a virtuous wife, Fu Xiaochen complained silently in his heart, he was only suppressed once, so is it really necessary to determine the attributes?No, I must find a suitable opportunity to take him down and revive Fu Gang.

Chu Yunqi smelled the slight fragrance emanating from Fu Xiaochen's body, it wasn't any vulgar powder smell, that smell was elegant and fresh, with every trace of it, Chu Yunqi felt a sudden twitch in his mind, obviously he used the same saponin Taking a bath, why does the smell of Fu Xiaochen fascinate him so much.

Fu Xiaochen looked at Chu Yunqi, who was serious about business just now, with a rippling smile on his face... even a lewd, slutty face, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. Did he switch to the idiot mode unconsciously?

As soon as he thought of the idiot mode, Fu Xiaochen remembered the secret room he found in the prince's bedroom a few days ago, and began to pinch Chu Yunqi's thigh awkwardly and asked, "Hey, let me ask you, what is the secret room in your bedroom?" What's going on?"

"Oh? I was discovered by Xiaochen." Chu Yunqi replied very calmly. Anyway, now that both sides have reached this point, it's nothing to be discovered.

"Hmph, of course I can't hide this kind of thing from me." Fu Xiaochen was a little arrogant, "You can just collect my clothes, aren't those paintings on the wall a bit too much, can you have a pair of my serious clothes?" Clothes, and the handkerchief in that little box I don't even want to know how it got there!"

Chu Yunqi smiled and pushed his arm, "Don't be annoyed, I was not afraid that you would leave as soon as you said you would leave, so I wanted to collect all the things related to you, and keep them in mind in the future."

As he said that, he even rubbed against Fu Xiaochen in the gesture of a large dog begging for petting.

The corner of Fu Xiaochen's mouth twitched as he looked at Chu Yunqi. It was really not easy to describe his perverted collector's habit as pitiful and earth-shattering.

"In a few days, when I have free time, I will draw some portraits of you on your wedding day. You don't know how beautiful you were when you were crying and begging for mercy."

Pfft... Fu Xiaochen spurted out a mouthful of old blood, then it's not a portrait, it's almost becoming a erotic picture. Hey, you are a good prince, if you don't do such a promising career, drawing erotic pictures is nothing. "...I've never seen a person as brazen as you." Fu Xiaochen still couldn't help complaining.

"This is what Xiaochen taught me."

"!! When did I teach you this?"

"Xiaochen once held a book of "Thick Black Studies" and taught me to be thick-skinned and invisible, and my heart must be black and colorless, so that I can achieve great things."

...Fu Xiaochen once again felt the malice in this world, so I had already set a flag for myself so long ago, so it is really impossible to live by self-inflicted crimes!
