worthless [rebirth]

"Ahem!" When Chen Ling came in with a bowl of almond milk, Jiang Chi was flipping through the file in front of the desk, and unconsciously covered his mouth with his hands and coughed softly.

After pausing slightly in front of the door, Chen Ling saw that the windows of the room were not closed, so he walked in and said, "It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is getting cooler every day, and the people below can't remember to close it." Window, don’t you know it yourself?”

As he spoke, he put the almond milk in Jiang Chi's hand, turned around and went to the window to close the windows one by one. When he came back, he reached for a cloak and put it on Jiang Chi.

"It's cold at night, so be careful not to catch the cold." Chen Ling said, "I just brewed the almond dew just now, drink it while it's hot."

Picking up the delicate porcelain bowl, Jiang Chi stirred the almond dew with a spoon, sniffed it, and said with a satisfied smile: "You can tell when you smell it. It's fragrant and sweet. It must be very delicious. Your craftsmanship ... Tsk, I really want to quit all the cooks in the palace and hand over all the imperial dining rooms to you."

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Isn't it enough to cook a small stove for you alone? The entire imperial dining room... Could it be that all the food for the Sixth Courtyard of the Harem is given to me?"

"That can't be done!" Jiang Chi said, pouring almond dew into his mouth with a spoon, "It's enough for me to make it for myself, other people don't have the blessing to taste your handicraft."

Chen Ling shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't be poor, eat while it's hot."

"Ang." Jiang Chi raised his face, grinned at Chen Ling, brought a spoonful to his mouth, and said, "Take a bite too."

Chen Ling shrank her neck back.

"Hurry up, I'll feed you." Jiang Chi said, with an aggrieved look, "I'm tired of lifting my arms all the time."

There was no other way, Chen Ling had no choice but to open his mouth and let Jiang Chi feed himself the almond dew.

"Stop standing, sit down and eat together." Jiang Chi said, beckoning Chen Ling to sit down.

There is only one chair behind the desk, which is Jiang Chi's dragon chair, and there is no extra space at all.Chen Ling looked at Jiang Chi in a daze, and said, "Sit... where do you sit?"

Jiang Chi glanced at him, seeming to dislike his unresponsiveness, patted his thigh, and said, "Here."

"Huh?" Chen Ling was taken aback.

"Ah what?" Jiang Chi raised his eyebrows, and before Chen Ling could react, he had already wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him into his arms.He took a spoonful of almond milk and said, "Open your mouth."

"..." Chen Ling sat obediently on Jiang Chi's lap, obediently like a kitten, opened his mouth and took a sip.

Jiang Chi smiled with satisfaction, put the spoon in Chen Ling's hand, and said, "It's your turn to feed me." He opened his mouth slightly as he spoke, like some kind of animal waiting to be fed.

Chen Ling had nothing to do with him. Although he gave him a hard look, he still fed him almond dew.

Jiang Chi drank the almond dew, but took the opportunity to grab Chen Ling's hand and give him a "boom" kiss on the back of his hand.

"Ah!" Chen Ling was taken aback by his sudden movement, and almost dropped the spoon on the ground.Puffing his cheeks, he looked up at Jiang Chi and said, "What are you doing?"

"Are you asking knowingly?" Jiang Chi said, his voice somewhat ambiguous.She lowered her head and kissed Chen Ling's soft lips.

"Patta!" The spoon fell to the ground and broke in two.

"Hmm..." Chen Ling raised his head slightly and closed his eyes, subconsciously grasping Jiang Chi's lapel, "Mmm... Ah Chi..."

Raising his hand to sweep, he swept everything on the desk to the ground, picked up Chen Ling, and Jiang Chi put him on the desk.

The young lady who was guarding outside listened to the movement in the house and thought that some great event had happened, so she rushed in to escort her and said, "Your Majesty!" When she looked up, she saw the two people in the house whose clothes were half unbuttoned, and hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be deaf. dumb.

Jiang Chi glanced over coldly, squeezed out a word between his teeth, "Get lost!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The little eunuch quickly scrambled and ran out.

"Giggle." Although it was a bit embarrassing to be seen by others, Chen Ling was still amused by the way the man rolled and crawled, and buried his face in Jiang Chi's palm, laughing non-stop.

Seeing Chen Ling smiling happily, Jiang Chi twitched the corner of his mouth.After making sure that no one will disturb him, he continued the exercise that was not suitable for children.

……

Although the stove was lit in the house, it was winter after all, and the desk was no warmer than the bed, so Jiang Chi didn't dare to toss about for too long in case Chen Ling would catch a cold.

An hour later, Jiang Chi opened the door and ordered several buckets of hot water to be sent to the side hall of the imperial study, then wrapped Chen Ling tightly with clothes, and carried him to take a bath.

Chen Ling's face was flushed, her black eyes were steaming, and her loose hair was hanging down naturally, swaying back and forth as she walked.Only a small head was left outside the package. He blinked at Jiang Chi and said, "Ah Chi, aren't we going back to Chengqian Palace today?"

Jiang Chi smiled: "Why, don't you like spending the night in the imperial study?"

"I didn't say anything." Chen Ling said, "With you here, it's the same anywhere."

"Did you eat too much almond milk?" Jiang Chi asked with a smile.

Chen Ling was puzzled, and said, "How do you say that?"

Jiang Chi looked down at him and said with a smile, "The mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."

Chen Ling's ears turned red, and he curled up in Jiang Chi's arms and stopped talking.

"Heh—" Jiang Chi chuckled, carried Chen Ling to the side hall, walked to the tub, and was about to put him into the water. "Uh." For a moment, as if his strength had been exhausted, he almost threw Chen Ling into the water, but the feeling of "powerlessness" was only for a moment, and soon he held Chen Ling firmly again.

"Huh? What's wrong with you?" Although Jiang Chi's strangeness only lasted for a moment, Chen Ling caught it.

"It's okay, maybe I've been sitting there reading the booklets for the past few days, and my arms are a little numb." Jiang Chi smiled, and put Chen Ling into the water steadily.

"I told you not to let you stay up late, don't work so hard, you're exhausted." Chen Ling blamed him distressedly.

"I know, I know." Jiang Chi agreed with a smile, lowered his head unobtrusively, and glanced at his hands.Frowning slightly, suppressing a trace of doubt in his heart, he entered the bathtub.

"Your Majesty, the disciples I sent to Chaozhou have returned."

After going to court, Lu He followed Jiang Chi to the imperial study and reported to him about the situation of Chaozhou and his party.

"Although Xiao Tong has no experience as an official, he has a heart to love the people. In the past few months, he has taken the initiative to use the Xiao family's wealth to help the people, set up porridge sheds, cheap grain stores, and opened ports. In Chaozhou It has won the hearts of the people. Although Chaozhou is not flourishing, it is still in order."

"So, I can rest assured. Can I give him the official seal?" Jiang Chi said.

Lu Hedao: "It has been awarded to him, and now he has officially become the prefect of Chaozhou."

"Yeah." Jiang Chi nodded, "Until today, the Chaozhou case is truly over."

"Indeed." Lu He said: "The people of Chaozhou can live a stable life now, thanks to you who are clear about the details and know people well. It's just that the king of Huainan has not been arrested so far, but the city gate cannot be closed forever. I heard that the people in the city are already complaining."

Jiang Chi said "Oh?", and said thoughtfully, "I really didn't think about this matter."

"For trade, the common people always have to leave the city." Lu He said.

"How about this, I will send an oral order to Luo Feng, asking him to revoke the Forbidden City Order, and just search strictly when entering and leaving the city gate." Jiang Chi said.

Lu He cupped his hands: "The emperor is wise."

"If there is no other important matter, Ai Qing will step down first." Jiang Chi said.

"Yes, I'm leaving." Lu He said, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.

"cough!"

Suddenly he heard a coughing sound behind him, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. After a moment, Lu He hurriedly turned his head and saw Jiang Chi standing by the table, holding the desk with one hand and covering his mouth with the other. book.

"Your Majesty?" Lu He was startled, walked back a few steps, and said, "Do you want to pass on the imperial physician?"

"No problem." Jiang Chi shook his head, "There are too many political affairs these days, and I'm a little tired, so I'll take a break and... um..." Before he finished speaking, his chest suddenly felt stuffy, and his throat felt sweet, as if there was some heat surged up.

Jiang Chi subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, and said hoarsely, "You step back first..."

Lu He stared, staring blankly at the blood flowing from Jiang Chi's fingers. After a while, he rushed out the door and shouted: "Come on, tell the imperial physician!"

The author has something to say: How come there is a feeling of the finale coming soon... a touch of sadness...
