The next day, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven began as usual.

Not only hundreds of officials worshiped, but thousands of people even came to watch the ceremony.It's just that you can't go up the mountain, you can only worship at the foot of the mountain.

The whole process is grand and complicated. Zhou Huaiyan himself does not believe in ghosts and gods, but he can come to this world, maybe there really are ghosts and gods.

Hongdou wrote a detailed notice, and Zhou Huaiyan memorized it after just a few glances. It was the first time that he didn't make any trouble at such a grand and grand ceremony.During the whole process of offering sacrifices to heaven, the Ninth Princes behaved well,

The sound of the Buddha is thick and the people bow down

Emperor Zhou, dressed in a yellow robe, was majestic and fierce. Under the guidance of Master Jian Kong, he gradually walked up to the altar, begging for God's protection.

Zhou Huaiyan narrowed his eyes, and carefully looked at the monk in the distance who was comparable to a national teacher.

Tall and tall, with a handsome face, and dressed in a snow-white monk robe, he really has a bit of a fairy air that is otherworldly and refined.

The other party seemed to have noticed the boy's gaze, and looked at it with a smile.The eyes of both sides were impartial, and they just collided.

The moment they looked at each other, Zhou Huaiyan clearly felt his back tighten slightly, as if he had encountered something extremely dangerous.

A few seconds later, the boy nodded slightly and looked away, who also nodded with a smile.

The whole ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven will last for three full days, with various cumbersome rules and ceremonies one after another, as if there will never be an end in sight.

Zhou Huaiyan originally thought that he was just here for a cutscene, and that it would be best to meet that Master Jiankong, to test him out, but who would have thought that apart from the few seconds of the Emperor Zhou's gaze at the altar on the first day, he would never see him afterwards? to the other person.

The eldest palace maid was even more distressed. She had been by the master's side since she was a child, and the Ninth Prince had been pampered and pampered since he was born. This was the first time she had done such a hard job.

"Your Highness has worked so hard. Fortunately, today is the last day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. The hot water has been prepared. Your Highness can take a bath when you return."

Zhou Huaiyan was too tired to talk, he just wanted to go back and hug his tiger cub for a good kiss.

The rooms in the temple are naturally not as luxurious and spacious as Qiwu Palace, but they are still quite elegant.

As soon as he opened the door and went in, he happened to see Ah Fei holding the cub and feeding it.Compared to being at a loss the first night, today's kittens are already very proficient in feeding the kittens.

Ah Fei seems to learn everything very quickly.

It was him holding the cub with one hand, and feeding the little white tiger with a spoon in the other hand. This scene came into his eyes as soon as he opened the door, and Zhou Huaiyan suddenly had the illusion of a wife and child on the kang.

"Owner?"

Seeing him come back, Ah Fei immediately stood up happily, and quickly walked over to greet him with the little white tiger in her arms.

"How is the master today, are you tired?"

"..."

It's over, it's more like the husband came home from work, and the wife brought the child to pick him up.

Zhou Huaiyan shook his head slightly, trying to get rid of those messy thoughts in his mind.He stretched out his hand to hug the coquettish tiger cub,

"Tsk, with such a round belly, he is a glutton."

Even though Zhou Huaiyan said that, he couldn't help smiling.After holding him for a while, he asked Hongdou to take the cub to the nest to sleep.

A three-day-old tiger cub, without a mother to take care of it, is easy to fail, so be careful.

Originally, after Cuicui's death, Zhou Huaiyan didn't plan to keep a cat, not to mention that his uncle was so concerned about it, but it was a surprise to see the white tiger cub.Now that I met it, I simply raised it.

He has raised two cats, and has never pet a tiger, let alone the rare white tiger.When Ah Fei came back, she said that the tigress had given birth to six cubs, but only this one survived.

The tigress who just gave birth will never leave her cub, and she doesn't know what the plain-clothed woman did to make the tiger pursue her so hard that she even willingly gave up her cub.

Zhou Huaiyan knew that the person behind the woman was not simple, but he didn't know which side it was.

He thought carefully about the strangeness of the whole thing, raised his hand casually, and asked Ah Fei to take off his clothes and prepare to take a bath.Zhou Huaiyan loves cleaning, so he is naturally not used to the bathtub in the temple, so Hongdou also brought a special bathtub.

Ah Fei has seen her master's body before, but every time she sees her, she still can't help but her ears burn red.Especially when serving the master to take a bath, he has to serve the master to take off his clothes one by one.

Zhou Huaiyan had never practiced martial arts, but it was probably because of the saying that a nephew looks like an uncle. His appearance was similar to Jiang Min's, but his body and skeleton were very similar to Jiang Yi's.

With a tall and straight figure, shoulders and back, and muscles and bones well-proportioned, she is as beautiful as a work of art carved out of white jade.

Kneeling and waiting for the young man to take off the last covering, Ah Fei's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and her breathing became short of breath.Since he entered the slave camp since he was a child, Ah Fei has seen many men's secret places. He always thinks that it is the ugliest thing in the world, and even has a stench.But last year's New Year's Eve completely reversed A Fei's deep-rooted impression.

It turns out that there are really people in the world, and every inch of their body is as beautiful as if they were made by God.

His master was born weak, and his lust was even weaker in the first 18 years, and he loved cleanliness too much, so he had to take a bath every day.There is always a cold woody fragrance all over his body, and when he gets closer, the fragrance becomes stronger, more like a winter plum.

When Ah Fei smelled it for the first time, she couldn't help being addicted.At that time, he hugged the boy's cloak, buried his face in it and sucked for a long time.Moreover, his master was tall and tall, and even his fingers were slender than ordinary people, not to mention that place, which not only looked good, but also matched his body shape very well.Perhaps it was because the space was too small, or because of the rising heat, Ah Fei obviously felt a little hot.

Zhou Huaiyan didn't notice that there was a pile of colored waste in the kitten's mind. He was so busy these days that he was still thinking about the woman in plain clothes and Master Jian Kong.

He entered the bathtub and submerged his body in the water. The warm water covered his chest, and the rising heat enveloped the room, as if all the muscles in his body couldn't help but relax. Zhou Huaiyan raised his head, closed his eyes, and let out a gasp in his throat. An overly comfortable sigh.

The sound was especially clear in the slightly narrow room, not to mention the kitten with excellent hearing, it seemed to fall on the ear.

"Are those people still staring at you today?"

Ah Fei was taken aback by Zhou Huaiyan's sudden opening. The latter was stunned for three seconds, and immediately replied,

"Yes."

"It was expected."

——It seems that they are indeed guarding against him.

The boy leaned in the bathtub with his eyes closed and rested, his voice was lazily low, and the burn made the kitten's ears turn bright red.

"Have you ever seen the grand occasion of the ceremony on the first day?"

Ah Fei nodded, recalled a little, and replied,

"I see, there are more than ten thousand people who come to worship at the foot of the mountain."

Hearing this, Zhou Huaiyan pursed his lips and smiled lightly, the hot air made those beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkle, adding a bit of glamour.

"Tell me, did they come because the emperor offered sacrifices to the heavens, or did they come because Master Jiankong presided over the sacrifices to the heavens?"

"This......"

Ah Fei stared blankly at the boy's overly gaudy side face, and finally shook her head honestly.

"I don't know."

The kitten guessed that the master was secretly playing a big game of chess, but even if he knew the young man's few moves, he still couldn't guess the latter's ultimate purpose.

His master was extremely intelligent and a natural superior, and people like himself, who had been trained as tools and utensils since childhood, should be used by the master.

Obviously belittled his own thoughts so much, but Ah Fei's heart began to tremble with excitement, but soon, he became discouraged again.The master has been busy for three days because of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. According to the original rule of once every two days, it should have been last night.But now, the master has been talking to him about business again, and I am afraid that tonight he will have to sleep well again.

Zhou Huaiyan didn't notice the abnormality of the kitten, and was still immersed in his own thoughts.He rarely told others about his discoveries and deployments, and only gave the most concise orders every time.

But I don't know why, but I want to tell Ah Fei.Even if the latter can't understand sometimes, but even so, the blank expression on that face makes Zhou Huaiyan happy.

"The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is indeed a trivial process with complicated rules, but this time I followed the rules and completed all the three-day ceremony, but I only met the Master Jiankong who presided over the ceremony once."

——That is to say, the other party deliberately avoided him.

Zhou Huaiyan seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile.

"Tsk, I was skeptical at first, but now I really delivered it to my door."

He recalled what he had learned about the empress from his uncle. In fact, the person the empress admired back then was not Emperor Zhou, but an unknown scholar.

When the two got married back then, something happened. The bride went out an hour late, which almost missed the auspicious time. Later, some people said that the bride eloped with someone, but was arrested halfway.

As for the adulterer, he was naturally beaten to death with sticks and thrown into a mass grave.

However, Wei Guogong said that he had only heard some rumors about these things at the time, and had never witnessed them with his own eyes.

Scholars are not necessarily true, and elopement is not necessarily true, and it is not necessarily true that the adulterer was beaten to death.

The folk rumors are mostly fabricated, but the only thing Zhou Huaiyan can be sure of is that the empress does not love Emperor Zhou, and even hates Emperor Zhou.Think of a private meeting with a monk on New Year's Eve...

"Well, that's pretty obvious."

【clear? ? ! 】

Sure enough, Ah Fei didn't understand, but she still nodded thoughtfully after the young man.

Foreign races admire the strong, but most of them admire the strong in physical and martial arts, but Ah Fei is different, he likes people like his master who are extremely intelligent.

Even if you don't know martial arts, just a few words, or even moving your fingers, you can strategize and control the lives and deaths of countless people.

Such a frighteningly powerful power cannot be achieved by people who can only use brute force.

Looking at it, Ah Fei's body began to heat up again, he suddenly pinched his hand, and secretly warned himself not to be too obsessed!

The master is obviously busy with more important things.However, his hands were purple, and he was still a little sullen.

The kitten couldn't help but wonder whether the master was really busy with the White Horse Temple, or his interest in him was getting less and less.if the latter one......

"A Fei?"

Zhou Huaiyan frowned, his eyes fell on the kitten's hand, his expression was a little puzzled,

"What are you pinching yourself for? Why, are you sleepy and want to sleep?"

I really want to sleep, but it's not because I'm sleepy.

Hearing the boy speak, Ah Fei immediately let go of his hand in shock, but, but he didn't know how to explain, so he thought about hemming and hawing.

At this time, Zhou Huaiyan stretched out his long arms, and pulled his hand over to see that it was already bruised.

"Tsk, why are you so cruel to yourself?"

"..."

Ah Fei couldn't answer, but she was happy with the master's concern from the bottom of her heart.Looking at Zhou Huaiyan's movements, he thought the boy would rub him.

But was suddenly pulled by the master, Ah Fei immediately staggered a step forward, and then splashed warm water on his face.

wow-

"How is it, are you awake?"

In Zhou Huaiyan's voice, there was obviously a smile of a successful prank.

"...?"

Ah Fei was stunned, with a dazed look on her face, as if she hadn't thought that His Royal Highness, the Ninth Prince, would do such a naive thing.

childish......

But the meaning behind such an intimate act made Ah Fei's heart burn.Although he can't understand the chess game set by his master, he has learned to read people's hearts.

People become naive only in front of the closest people.This shows that Zhou Huaiyan put him in a very close position.

Regardless of whether he is a pet to the owner or something else, just this closeness will make the owner more tolerant and patient.

Perhaps...even if he made a small mistake, he can be forgiven.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed in Ah Fei's mind. Looking at the young man's overly beautiful face, he suddenly had some thoughts of wanting to pamper him.

So in the next second, Zhou Huaiyan only heard a slightly slippery sound from the ground, and then, the kitten fell directly into his bathtub.

The huge splash of water hit him even more.

Zhou Huaiyan: "...?"

This familiar scene made him think of that night on New Year's Eve.

Sure enough, the kitten jumped up and down in the water.

Zhou Huaiyan didn't bother to pull, just watched him thump.

Fortunately, he has always been used to the big baths in Qiwu Palace, so what Hongdou brought over should be quite big tubs, more than enough to accommodate two grown men.So it can also make kittens that grow much taller to flop.

After a while, Ah Fei stopped her clumsy acting skills in the boy's half-smile eyes.

"Master...Master..."

He still wanted to struggle, stammering and telling even clumsy lies.

"The ground...the ground is too slippery."

Ah Fei originally wanted to kneel down, but when he came in, the water level became higher. If he knelt down, he would drown.So I had no choice but to squat down in aggrieved manner.

"Too slippery?"

Zhou Huaiyan raised his eyebrows. He casually looked at the trembling kitten. After entering the White Horse Temple, the servants who waited on him were all dressed in white clothes, and Ah Fei was hot. After the beginning of spring, he only wore unlined clothes. On the body, it is easy to reveal the color of the skin, especially the place where it was particularly happy to be sucked by the cub before, it is even more bright red.

Ah Fei was about to cry, he had such an unruly intention just now because of his hot head.Seeing the young man's expression of "I've seen through it a long time ago, but if I don't pierce it, I'll just watch you perform quietly", the kitten couldn't help it,

"I beg...Master, forgive me, just now...It was the slave who fell in on purpose."

"Oh, on purpose."

Zhou Huaiyan hit the edge of the barrel with both arms at will, narrowing his eyes slightly,

"Falling in on purpose and dirtying my water?"

"No! No!"

Knowing that the master loves Jie the most, how dare he do it? !

Ah Fei hurriedly explained, but was interrupted halfway. Zhou Huaiyan especially likes to tease cats, and has a particularly bad temper.Obviously seeing through everything, she insisted on teasing Ah Fei to say it by herself,

"Then why did you fall in on purpose?"

"..."

The kitten blushed, unable to explain anything.He was in that "hell" back then, and he trained everything to be the leader. It was the necessary speech skills for this detailed work, and he was always unqualified.Zhou Huaiyan stretched out his long arms, grabbed Ah Fei by the collar and pulled him to him.

"Are you feeding the tiger cubs these days?"

Not understanding why the boy suddenly mentioned this, Ah Fei nodded honestly,

"Yes."

Because when Zhou Huaiyan saw the little white tiger for the first time, he said——

【That's me and Ah Fei's cub. 】

Even if it was just a casual joke, since that night, the status of the white tiger cub in Ah Fei's heart has become extraordinary.Therefore, he has been taking good care of them for these three days.Before Ah Fei realized what Zhou Huaiyan wanted to say, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.He arched his back reflexively, but he quickly overcame his body's subconscious reaction, trying to straighten up to meet the boy's fingers.This posture made him slightly taller than the boy sitting in the water.Zhou Huaiyan's complexion remained the same, and even his tone did not change a bit.

"Tell me, what to feed."

"Use... goat's milk."

The kitten's voice trembled a little.Zhou Huaiyan let out a "huh" and continued to ask slowly,

"Did you sprinkle it on your body clumsily again?"

"No...never."

"That's stealing His Highness's paint."

"Eh?! No...no, Ah Fei dare not."

"Is that so..."

The boy pretended to be distressed,

"That's weird, why is it so red?"

"..."

Ah Fei was stunned.

After a while, he tentatively stretched out his hand to hook the boy's neck, and tried to get closer, almost touching his face.

"Then... Master, do you want to check again?"
