Qing Jialu

After the two returned to Xiyuan, they lay down on the bed with their eyes closed after lunch.All the servants in the room dispersed, only the sound of the wind could be heard in the room.Xiao Yi closed his eyes and said, "The reason I was asked to see Du Huan today is to push 'elimination of redundancy'."

"Your Majesty wanted to go, I didn't force you to go." Shen Jia turned over when she heard the words, and said with an aggrieved expression.

"I've said it before, you can't rush 'removing redundancy', you have to put it at the end." Xiao Yi opened his eyes and looked sideways at Shen Jia, "The situation is unclear now, it's not good to push people too much."

"Why is the situation unclear?" Shen Jia couldn't understand it. With Han Chang's help during this period, the monthly assessment system went very smoothly.

"They won't let me continue to stop the court." Xiao Yi said coldly, "There will be a big exam in March, and it will be February at the most, and the courtiers will not be able to bear it."

"Your Majesty, your condition has recovered and you can go to court." Shen Jia was very puzzled, why Xiao Yi didn't say a word about the restoration of the early court, and even now the supervisor of ceremonies still approves the memorial.

Never, really tired of government affairs, right?

"Jin Yiwei got the news that the third brother and Zhang Xu have colluded together."

"What?" Shen Jia sat up in shock as if struck by lightning, "Zhang Cifu...how could he be with King Kui...does he want to plot rebellion?"

"Not necessarily." Xiao Yi said, "Maybe Zhang Xu thought that I was critically ill, and wanted to embrace the third brother as the throne. But I know the third brother, he has no interest in the throne."

"Then what are they trying to do?"

"Xiao Shu is a person who cannot be speculated according to common sense. However, he has an extreme personality and narrow-mindedness, and he will take revenge." Xiao Yi worriedly said to Shen Jia, "You have to be more careful recently."

"Does he want to attack me? Let him do it." Shen Jia said angrily.As long as it is not against His Majesty, he is not afraid.

Xiao Yi smiled and pulled him to lie down, "Okay, go to sleep. Do you still have to go to the household department in the afternoon?"

"Yeah, it's the beginning of the year, and all the ministries have come to the household department to ask for money." Shen Jia had a headache when she mentioned this matter, "By the way, the master asked me to ask His Majesty about the candidate for the chief examiner."

"Han Chang is tentative." Xiao Yi said, "But don't rush to reply to Mr. Cheng, he will definitely guess something when he hears that I skipped Zhang Xu."

"I understand." Shen Jia thought in his heart, His Majesty was on guard against Cheng Ge, but he confessed everything to himself.

"After work, come to Xiyuan at night and stay overnight here." Xiao Yi suddenly said again.

"What are you doing?" Shen Jia asked in surprise.

A while ago when Xiao Yi was ill, Shen Jia stayed in Xiyuan every day, accompanying and taking care of him day and night.But now that Xiao Yi can walk and move, Shen Jia always goes home to live these two days, as if she is too embarrassed to stay overnight in the palace.

Xiao Yi naturally knew Shen Jia's careful thoughts, so he directly pointed out, "Serving the bed."

"..." Shen Jia's face turned red all of a sudden, he was really afraid of something, he turned his back to Xiao Yu, and buried his head under the quilt.

Xiao Yi smiled and said nothing.A thin-skinned person like Shen Jia wants him to take the initiative unless he is drunk again.But Xiao Yi didn't want to do this, he wanted to have a sober meeting with Shen Jia.

Although Shen Jia was embarrassed to face it, but at night, she obediently returned to Yuxi Palace.When Xiao Yi saw him having dinner, he was fidgeting all the time, thinking in his heart that Shen Jia was indeed too "reserved".

After dinner, Xiao Yi leaned on the bed and read a book.He didn't bother to read it when he was sick, but now holding his grandfather's book of war, he read it with great interest.

Shen Jia was left on the sidelines with nothing to do. Seeing Xiao Yi fascinated by reading, he really wanted to take his book and asked him, "Didn't you say you were going to bed?"

But this sentence could only be thought in Shen Jia's mind, he didn't dare to really ask it.

Xiao Yi looked at it for a while, then closed the book, "When I saw you discussing knowledge with Du Huan today, I was thinking, what were you like before the imperial examination?"

"Just like His Majesty is doing now, lighting up the lamp to read at night. Just like Du Huan, nervous and anxious." Shen Jia also asked, "I used to think about what it was like to join the army when you were young, and what it was like to kill the enemy on horseback? "

Xiao Yi smiled, but did not answer.He thought, Shen Jia's family background is no better than Du Huan's, he is a student from a poor family, and he has come to today step by step.I don't know how Shen Jia came here alone after her parents passed away?

It's a pity that neither of them had the opportunity to participate in each other's past.

Too late to meet, too late to fall in love.

Xiao Yi put down the book, and Gogou pulled Shen Jia over.Shen Jia didn't move, her face turned red first.

"You don't remember last time, do you?" Xiao Yi looked at him with a half-smile.

Shen Jia saw Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and eyes slightly, and the evil Baihexiang rushed into his nose, hitting his heart again, disturbing his heart.He caressed Xiao Yi's cheek, thinking of the chaotic night.

"I remember." Shen Jia looked at Xiao Yi and said firmly.

Xiao Yi didn't believe it, "You forget everything after drinking."

"But I remember that time, I remember it clearly." Shen Jia seemed to be showing her sincerity, but she had a serious and eager look on her face.

Xiao Yi no longer pursued the root cause, he pulled Shen Jia's collar and kissed it delicately.Shen Jia and Xiao Yi kissed countless times, and finally learned the technique, no longer like a log, he began to respond and attack back.

The two changed from skimpy to mutual aggression, and they rolled into a ball after a while.They gasped slightly, kissed and finally parted.

Xiao Yi took out the ointment that had been prepared under the pillow, and said jokingly, "You forgot to take it last time."

Shen Jia looked at the ointment bottle, her neck turned red.He finally remembered where this bottle came from, Dr. Fan did him a lot of harm.

"The medicine is a good one. Did Doctor Fan make it?" Xiao Yi guessed it right away.

"Yes." Shen Jia nodded indiscriminately.

Xiao Yi opened the bottle cap, picked out a little ointment on his fingertips, and the alluring fragrance came out again.

"This time, you wipe it off." Xiao Yi's eyes were watery, with a hint of temptation.

Shen Jia didn't dare to look at Xiao Yi again, he looked down and saw Xiao Yi's fingers, the roots were distinct, slender and powerful.As if bewitched, Shen Jia wiped away the ointment on his fingertip with her index finger.

Shen Jia looked at the ointment and didn't know what to do for a moment.But Xiao Yi, who was under him, laughed.

The laughter seemed to say: "Look, you really can't, you don't remember when you're drunk."

No, I remember!Shen Jia's heart roared, and that laughter extinguished the last trace of his reserve.
