The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

"Then tomorrow, I can get up late without being charged?"

"Only until tomorrow. From now on, you still have to attend court obediently."

"Your Majesty is wise. I wish you a smooth journey."

Shen Jingli was very happy to have the privilege of sleeping in for a day. She wanted to sleep until she woke up naturally.

Seeing that she was so happy, Qin Yejue kissed her gently on the cheek, said nothing more, and walked away slowly.

He must be very cold since he was hugged so tightly just now. Looking at Qin Yejue's lonely back, Shen Jingli called him over as if possessed by a ghost: "Qin Yejue, how about... leaving in a few days? The red marrow fruit will be ripe soon. At least you won't be so cold if you eat it."

Qin Yejue paused.

"Can't wait any longer."

"Then go ahead...put on more clothes."

Qin Yejue suddenly turned around, walked over quickly, pushed the person against the wall, and gave him a real kiss.

"Well…"

Qin Yejue reached out his hands and held up Shen Jingli's face, lowering his head and acting recklessly.

"Qin... um..."

I should have known not to remind him. This guy wants to kiss me when he feels cold, and he is very strong, so I can't resist at all.

"…Well…"

I can't even say a word, I'm so angry!

The pushing only made the kiss more intense.

Seeing that the man was about to explode with anger, Qin Yejue finally let him go.

"You have to behave yourself even when I'm not around. Do you understand?"

Shen Jingli said in shame and anger: "No!"

"It seems that kissing is not enough."

Shen Jingli covered his mouth with his hands, "Alright, alright! I heard it clearly."

Qin Yejue kissed Shen Jingli's forehead gently again, scaring Shen Jingli so much that he stepped back a distance.

"Almost done!"

Does Qin Yejue understand the differences between men? Even if he is cold, he shouldn't be so close to his parents!

Qin Yejue didn't argue any further and left Qianlu Palace. Shen Jingli stayed where he was, his heart beating fast and his hand unconsciously touching his forehead.

"How come he always takes people by surprise and attacks them when they are least prepared?"

Forget it, I still have to cultivate the red marrow fruit quickly. Qin Yejue wants to kiss me when he feels cold, and his lips are about to be broken by his kisses.

She wiped her mouth angrily and said that if she didn't sleep, she would become an immortal.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

These days, Shen Jingli has been spending most of his time in Qianzhong Garden taking good care of the tung flowers. The red marrow fruits have already emerged and will probably be ripe soon.

Occasionally, she would go to the Qinzheng Hall to read memorials, and at night she would stay in the study room to prepare new medicines. At mealtime, she would go around to get food and drinks.

Shen Jingli had not left the palace for the past three days. After lunch today, he left the palace excitedly. When passing by Zhang Xiangyi's fortune-telling stall, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Rongjia?

You stinky charlatan, you even don’t let little girls go?

"Zhang Xiangyi, you are too unkind, aren't you? She is just a little girl, and you lied to her?"

"Mr. Shen, please sit down."

The maidservant beside Rong Jia was in a dilemma. She wanted to kneel down and salute, but since they were all going out incognito, she had no choice but to salute: "Greetings, Master..."

"You don't have to be so restrained when you're out there."

After that, he yelled at Zhang Xiangyi: "What the hell, do you have any sense of responsibility? Do you think it's appropriate to sell the book to her? You are still a little girl."

The scale of The Wild Scholar is a bit too... ahem... big, especially the illustrations, which are not suitable for unmarried girls at all.

"Brother? What book?" Rong Jia was confused.

Zhang Xiangyi: "Are you brother and sister? It doesn't look like it."

"Rongjia, return the book."

"what book?"

Shen Jingli looked at Zhang Xiangyi with a look of doubt: "Did you really not sell any books?"

"Do you think I can sell books to anyone I see? Books like that are usually only suitable for people like you."

"Speak properly, what kind of person am I?"

"What kind of book is it?" Rong Jia became interested and continued to ask.

"Nothing, why are you out...?"

"Boring, brother, this fortune-telling stall is quite accurate. It can tell at a glance that I'm troubled."

"Everyone has troubles. This stall is not healthy. I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Hearing Shen Jingli's comments about his stall, Zhang Xiangyi also got angry: "Mr. Shen, please watch your words. I have a temper too. From now on, I will not sell you books, humph!"

Zhang Xiang blew his beard and glared, very angry.

"Go away, go away, don't come here again." Zhang Xiang waved his hand to send people away.

Seeing this, Shen Jingli also realized that he had misunderstood Zhang Xiangyi, and stepped forward to explain, "Hey, Lao Zhang, don't say angry words, she is my distant cousin, who just came to the city, don't let her lead her astray."

"Hmph." Zhang Xiang turned his head away.

"Lao Zhang...if she takes a wrong path, won't my uncle and aunt in the countryside hack me to death?"

"Humph."

"Can I ask you to tell my fortune next time?"

"That's more like it. I can barely forgive your malicious slander."

……

After leaving the fortune-telling stall, Shen Jingli followed Rong Jia all the way, strolling with her everywhere, and from time to time persuading her to return to the palace.

"Rongjia, is the candied haws delicious?"

Rong Jia puffed his lips: "It's delicious."

"Then hurry back home."

"Brother, my sister has finally come out, why do you have to send her back?"

"Don't call me Royal Brother on the street."

"Brother Xiao Shen? Are you still alive?" Chu Beixiao leaned against the tree, waved to the two of them enthusiastically with a playful look on his face.

"Who are you?"

"Me, we're going to attack Long Xiao Palace at night, have you forgotten?"

Who was it? It turned out to be a masked man.

This guy is not bad looking, with a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes with upturned corners and a teardrop mole under the right eye, which adds a touch of evil charm.

"It's you. I almost didn't recognize you without the mask."

Chu Beixiao was very curious about what happened after he left, and asked curiously, "Did the Regent do anything to you that night?"

This sentence successfully aroused Rong Jia's great curiosity, "What? Brother, the Regent? At night? Did he do you?"

"No, keep your voice down. Is that an honor?" Shen Jingli looked around, afraid that someone would hear him.

"Hey? Your sister? She's pretty."

Hearing the compliment, Rong Jia was secretly delighted, "What are you talking about? It's just that she's pretty."

Chu Beixiao: "..."

Shen Jingli: "Don't set your sights on my sister. She is a valuable asset. You are just an idler in the underworld, so stop thinking about her."

"It's not a good match."

"So feudal?"

"Brother, are you old-fashioned?"

This Chu Beixiao always does sneaky things and you can tell at first glance that he is not a good person.

Shen Jingli pulled Rong Jia aside and said, "That's because you don't understand how dangerous the martial world is. You, send the princess back. Otherwise, I will go to Prince Yun's mansion myself."

Rong Jia stomped his feet and left angrily.

"Shorty, you..." Maybe because she had been wearing men's clothes for too long, she felt an instinctive sense of anger when she heard the word "short".

"What dwarf? I am not small at all."

"Haha, the more you want to prove something, the more you lack it?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Are you okay now?"

That night when I checked his pulse in Long Xiao Temple, I found that he had miasma in his body, which should be poisonous miasma.

"It's just a minor injury and it has healed long ago." A trace of panic flashed in Chu Beixiao's eyes, and he still feels a little scared.

Oh my god, I almost died on the road that day.

Qin Yejue was such a terrifying person that I was poisoned after staying in his house for only a short while. Fortunately, I ran away quickly, otherwise I would have died without a burial place.

"What about you? How did you escape from danger?"

Shen Jingli coughed fakely to cover up his discomfort. How could he escape? He was almost fainted by the kiss from that guy, and accidentally discovered his secret.

"Who am I? What can happen to me?"

"I thought you would die in Qin Yejue's mansion. I felt guilty for a long time. Is he sure he didn't hurt you?"

Shen Jingli shook his head and continued to speak arrogantly: "Does he dare? I am the ruler of a country."

Chu Beixiao clicked his tongue twice to express his disbelief.

"Hey, I don't know your name yet?"

"Chu Beixiao."

"What?"

"A chivalrous man who travels around the world."

"Tsk, you're just an unknown thief."

"I don't like hearing this anymore."

"Okay, okay, let's go. I'm busy." Shen Jingli had just taken a few steps when Chu Beixiao quickly caught up with him: "What are you busy with?"
