This shadow guard is kinda nice

The cold wind of winter raged, neighing.

After three months, Xiao Yichen returned to Prince Xuan's Mansion again. Steward Wang had already prepared dinner and was just waiting for someone to come back.

Xiao Yichen took off his cloak while walking, butler Wang took it over, "My lord, it's been a hard journey."

Xiao Yichen shook his head and smiled, "It's okay." Then he asked casually: "How is the house?"

"My lord, don't worry, everything is fine." He looked at the young man following behind his lord, "My lord, the child's accommodation has also been arranged. He is listening to Yuyuan, what do you think?"

A few days ago, Mo Ran came back with news that he would bring back a young man. He had packed up his residence, and he could live in directly when someone came, and greeted everyone in the mansion.

Xiao Yichen didn't care about these things, he just said: "Just look at the arrangement."

"Okay," he took a step behind, and together with the young man behind him, before he could speak, Zhao Tingzheng spoke first.

"Hi Uncle, my name is Zhao Tingzheng."

Butler Wang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, kind and kind, "Ting Zheng is a good boy, just call me Butler Wang from now on."

Zhao Tingzheng nodded, "Okay, Steward Wang."

Steward Wang lowered his head and asked, "How about Ting Zheng living in Ting Yu Yuan in the future?"

"Okay." Zhao Tingzheng didn't care, as long as he had a place to live.

Maybe it was because he saw everyone calling him Master Wang Ye when he was in the military camp. He quickly accepted this fact, and now he followed the master to the palace. No matter what kind of scenery he saw, he could try his best to keep calm, so that he was not so shocked.

Several people went to the dining room together, Ran Yue was already there, she pulled the chair where the master was sitting, and Xiao Yichen sat down.

"My lord is back."

Xiao Yichen smiled, "Thank you for your hard work and Dequan."

"Where, this is what slaves and housekeepers should do." She clapped her hands, and the maids came out in a file, and various dishes were placed on the table one by one.

Steward Wang and Ran Yue stepped aside, Xiao Yichen asked them to come over and sit down to eat together.

Steward Wang hurriedly said that this was unreasonable, Xiao Yichen interrupted him indifferently, "Where do you get such a lot of etiquette, just sit down and eat."

Steward Wang and Ran Yue didn't refuse anymore, they sat around the table together, and they didn't start to move their chopsticks until Xiao Yichen moved them.

There was a charcoal fire in the room, it was very warm, Zhao Tingzheng ate it for a while, his face was flushed with heat, he was young, his body was like a small stove, now it was even hotter.

Ran Yue was careful, seeing him like this, took him to the side hall to change into thinner clothes.

After a while, Zhao Tingzheng came back, Xiao Yichen took a look and couldn't help laughing, even Mo Ran had a faint smile on his face.

Seeing that they were laughing at him, Zhao Tingzheng turned his head and wanted to go out, but Ran Yue came in later and turned him back with a smile, "Let's just make it, I really can't find clothes that are similar in size to yours."

Before, Moran only said that he would bring back a boy, but did not elaborate on how old he was, so they were not prepared, thinking that when he arrived, the tailor would come to measure his size, make clothes according to the season, and send them to him The palace will be completed.

Unexpectedly, I needed to change clothes when I first arrived, and there was no young man as big as him in the house, so I had to find other people's clothes first, even though it was more than a size bigger.

Zhao Tingzheng shook his clothes that were one size bigger than his whole body, sat in the seat just now, just buried his head in eating, and didn't say a word.

Xiao Yichen chuckled twice, "Eat more in the future, 12 years old looks like ten years old."

Zhao Tingzheng let out a sullen groan. Amidst all the laughter, he blushed and wondered why he changed his clothes and was still so hot?

At the end of the day, Ran Yue brought the wine, unwrapped it, and the aroma of the wine overflowed. It was brewed by the prince and Mo Ran a few years ago, and it is just right to drink it now.

She filled everyone with wine, Zhao Tingzheng replaced the wine with tea, and several people raised their wine glasses. Xiao Yichen's eyes swept over everyone in the room one by one, "In previous years, I didn't have the opportunity to sit with everyone to celebrate the New Year. This year, for the first time, I just Happy New Year, I hope we will have the opportunity to celebrate the New Year together next year."

Everyone had smiles on their faces, and the wine glasses in their hands collided with each other, making a ding sound, clear and bright.

After the show ended, Ran Yue took Zhao Tingzheng to Ting Yuyuan, and Steward Wang went down to rest. Mo Ran was going back to her own yard, but Xiao Yichen asked her to follow him, and Mo Ran followed him.

In the atrium on the moon, the wind blows in the winter night, and people's faces hurt.

Neither of the two spoke, but walked quietly side by side. There seemed to be a special atmosphere between them. Although there was no words, they were incomparably harmonious.

As he walked, he arrived at the courtyard where Xiao Yichen lived.The two sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, Xiao Yichen asked Mo Ran to fetch wine, he had obviously drunk just now, but now he wanted to drink again for no reason.

I want to drink with this person in front of me.

Mo Ran brought two jars of wine, neither of them used wine glasses or bowls, they opened the seals, and the jars touched each other.

"Enough." Xiao Yichen took a sip, so drinking would be interesting.

Mo Ran looked at him quietly, smiled slightly, and did not speak.

Xiao Yichen raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, it was so bright and bright, then he lowered his eyebrows and looked at the person sitting opposite him.

I don't know if it was because of his drinking or something else, but he felt that the person in front of him was like the bright moon in the sky, extremely white and bright, and he couldn't help but want to be touched.

As he thought about it, he stretched out his hand, and his fingertips touched Mo Ran's face, his skin was as smooth as fat, cool and slippery.

Mo Ran's eyes moved slightly, and his body froze. Maybe the wine was too strong, otherwise why did he get on like this.His heartbeat was thunderous and deafening.

He thought he might be drunk.

Drunk fell into the eyes of this person as dark as the night.

Xiao Yichen's fingertips slid down slightly and landed on the thin lips that were stained with water. They were soft. He rubbed them gently, and his lips soon became bright red.

Xiao Yichen's eyes darkened, but he withdrew his hands, the faint breath was gradually blown away by the cold wind.

Moran picked up the wine jar, and the cold liquid slid down his throat, followed by a burning sensation, which was indeed strong enough.

The two jars of wine were quickly exhausted, and after asking Xiao Yichen what he meant, he brought a few more jars of wine and drank one by one.

The night was getting deeper, and when the new year came, they sat under the moon, accompanied by the snow, and drank strong wine.

Xiao Yichen was a little drunk, he swayed and stood up, Mo Ran raised his head as if his reaction was a little slow, and looked at Xiao Yichen with watery eyes.

In the water-filled moo, Xiao Yichen saw himself bending down, his face becoming clearer and clearer.

He turned his head and whispered in Moran's ear, "Happy New Year!"

The voice was low and deep, surrounding Mo Ran's ears, and lingered for a long time.

As if Mo Ran couldn't bear it, he tilted his head slightly, Xiao Yichen's lips brushed against his face lightly, and it fell apart instantly.

Mo Ran's head was dizzy, and he didn't realize what happened just now. He just said softly, "Happy New Year!"

The corners of Xiao Yichen's lips raised slightly, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Mo Ran's head, it was very late, they drank several jars of wine, and they were all a little drunk now.

Before his body could react in his mind, he hugged Mo Ran by the waist.

Mo Ran was shocked for a moment, but hurriedly hugged his neck tightly, as if afraid of falling, leaned her head on his chest, rubbing against his chest like a small animal.

Satisfied, Xiao Yichen carried Mo Ran into the room, put him on his bed, and then he also lay on the side, covered with the same quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
