Your Majesty, You Can't

The Town God's Temple not far from the imperial city was full of lively and joyful atmosphere as early as dusk.

Winter nights always come sooner than other seasons.A quarter of an hour ago, the sky was still rolling with a rosy sunset glow, but after a short blink of an eye, the night dotted with stardust has fallen.

Couples of mandarin ducks with sweet smiles strolled on the Jiuqu Bridge, and a group of sweaty children in winter jackets hurried past by chasing each other.They also held lanterns of various colors in their hands, and the sweat they swayed looked bright and crystal clear under the radiance of the lights.

Children are always so full of vigor.

He Lanzhi took a stroll around the Lantern Festival. After seeing a child carrying a lantern running past him, he couldn't help raising his eyes to glance at Zhao Yin who was by his side, and unconsciously raised a smile on his thin lips.

"What is Ah Zhi laughing at?" Zhao Yin felt the gaze on him, then turned around and asked the smiling person beside him.

"A few years ago, Xiao Yin was also very small like them, but now he has suddenly grown so big." He Lanzhi stretched out his hand and gestured at the two of them, "They are both taller than me."

After watching He Lanzhi's actions, Zhao Yin raised his eyebrows and turned his head away, saying, "Of course. I'm a man after all."

"What does this have to do with you being a man..." He Lanzhi pouted speechlessly, "You will grow so tall, you should thank your dear brother for letting you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables."

"All right, all thanks to my brother."

He Lanzhi smiled lightly and opened his lips and was about to say a few more words, when suddenly his shoulder was hit by someone who was running fast, his steps staggered, and his figure almost fell to the ground precariously.

"Azhi!"

Zhao Yin quickly grabbed He Lanzhi's arm and pulled it towards him.

Due to inertia, He Lanzhi threw himself into Zhao Yin's embrace before he could react in time, and immediately felt a hot chest and strong arms encircling him firmly.

It seemed that he would not be hurt any more.

Leaning on Zhao Yin's chest, there was a deafening heartbeat.

He Lanzhi's cheeks burned involuntarily.

Zhao Yin hugged He Lanzhi tightly, and squinted coldly at the plainclothes guards who were not in time to protect him in a place where the other party could not see, so a bunch of big men in the crowd bowed their heads and blamed themselves, causing traffic around Everyone turned their heads and looked sideways, watching this group of poor strong men who looked like children who had done something wrong.

After reproaching and greeting the group of guards with his eyes, the young emperor quickly put on a concerned expression and looked at He Lanzhi in his arms, "Is Ah Zhi alright?"

"I'm fine." He Lanzhi slipped out of Zhao Yin's arms, not sure if it was because of the red lanterns hanging all over the street that reflected the warm light on his face, his cheeks were a little blush.

"Thank you... Thank you Xiaoyin for holding me just now, otherwise I would have fallen to the ground."

He Lanzhi patted his chest and almost blurted out the word "Your Majesty".When I was nervous, I forgot that this was a private visit by Weifu, and Zhao Yin's identity as the emperor should not be revealed.

Zhao Yin couldn't help clenching the palm hanging by his side, "Ah Zhi just wanted to say it, so it must be a bit of a thing?"

"It's... not bad." He Lanzhi dodged Zhao Yin's direct gaze with some guilt, and left his eyes on the lively stalls in the streets.
