worthless [rebirth]

Chen Ling felt that in the past few days when Jiang Chi was ill, he was like an old hen who was ready to fight at any time. As long as Jiang Chi had the slightest sign of going to work, or if there was a little eunuch coming to give a memorial, he would She stared at Jiang Chi with warning eyes, not letting him worry about it.

Jiang Chi had nothing to do with him, so he had to put down all the official duties in his hands, and at the same time informed the ministers that he would be excused for the time being, and would take a walk in the house or in the garden every day, with Chen Ling to accompany him to recuperate.

After Chen Ling changed his way of making medicinal food for him for several days, Jiang Chi's complexion seemed to really improve a lot.

The winter in Jiangguo is relatively cold, and it is dry and cold.It snows only rarely, and most of the time is sunny, but the wind is a little bit stronger, which makes people's faces and ears feel numb and painful.

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, it is rare that the wind is much less, the sky is fine, the sun is in full bloom, and the body is warm.

Chen Ling thought that today they would go for a walk in the Imperial Garden as they did a few days ago, and went back to the house, but Jiang Chi proposed to go out of the palace to play.

"Stuck in the house all day and I'm so suffocated. It's rare to have free time. Let's go for a walk." After lunch, Jiang Chi said.

Chen Ling hesitated, "Your body..."

"It's fine." Jiang Chi said: "After your recuperation, you've recovered. You'll be back in the morning tomorrow. If you don't go out today, you won't have a chance if you want to go out later."

"Okay." Seeing that Jiang Chi was really fine, Chen Ling agreed with confidence, and said, "Wait a minute." As he spoke, he ran to get two thick fluffy cloaks, one for himself and Jiang Chi.

Jiang Chi wore a black one, and Chen Ling wore an off-white one.The same style, the neckline has a circle of white mink, which is soft and warm around the neck, and is not afraid of drafts.

As usual, he left the palace in a carriage, but this time Chen Ling did not fall asleep like he did the previous few times in a carriage. Instead, Jiang Chi fell asleep on Chen Ling's body not long after getting into the carriage.

At first, he just leaned on Chen Ling's shoulder, and the two of them chatted without saying a word. It was nothing more than the Chinese New Year, and after the Chinese New Year, there would be the Lantern Festival and the like.

As he spoke, Jiang Chi's voice became quieter, until finally he couldn't hear it, and the sound of light and steady breathing rang out in his ears.Chen Ling froze for a moment, turned his head to look over his shoulder, and saw that the other party was leaning against him, with his eyes closed, he had fallen asleep at some point.

Chen Ling slowly adjusted his sitting posture, trying to make Jiang Chi lean more comfortably. At this moment, the carriage bumped, and Jiang Chi tipped over. He slid down and rested his head on Chen Ling's lap.

Strangely, after such a jolt, the person didn't wake up, just frowned slightly, and continued to fall into a deep sleep.

Having said that, Jiang Chi has indeed been a little lethargic these past few days, as if he can fall asleep anytime and anywhere except standing.But I didn't sleep too long, and usually woke up in less than half an hour.

Anyway, he seemed to be in good spirits, and every time he woke up he looked full of energy, so Chen Ling let him sleep.Thinking about Jiang Chi's business affairs before, he rarely had the opportunity to sleep during the day, so let's sleep more now if he can.

Running through Jiang Chi's thick black hair with his fingertips, Chen Ling gently combed it for him. It is said that it helps to channel the meridians, promote blood circulation, reduce stress and improve sleep.

Seeming to be very comfortable being massaged by Chen Ling, Jiang Chi unconsciously rubbed his cheek against Chen Ling's knee.

Seeing that the other party was so obedient as a little white rabbit, Chen Ling couldn't help laughing.

Worried that Jiang Chi would slip off his lap, Chen Ling gently supported Jiang Chi's head with his hand, letting him rest his hand on his head. Inadvertently, he found a silvery white on the other side's temple.

Among the thick black hair, there are three or five strands of silver hair that are incompatible with others, which are particularly dazzling.

"Huh?" Chen Ling's heart clicked, and he suddenly felt indescribably uneasy.

The current Jiang Chi is only 25 years old, has he already started to have gray hair?Chen Ling had combed Jiang Chi's hair before, but he hadn't noticed these white hairs at that time. Did they suddenly appear in the past few days?

Too much work for state affairs.

"Ah Chi, you idiot..." Chen Ling said distressedly, lowered his head and kissed Jiang Chi's temples, and then carefully brushed his hair, making sure that there were no more gray hairs, before removing those out of place The silver hair was carefully snapped off and thrown out of the window.

"In the future, you can tell me any troubles you have. Although I may not be able to help Jiang Guo's state affairs, I just want you to know that you have me here..." Holding Jiang Chi's body, Chen Ling was incomparable. Solemnly.

The carriage stopped at the intersection of the busy city, and the coachman poked his head in and said, "Master, we're here."

"Hush—" Chen Ling silenced, pointed at Jiang Chi who was sleeping, and said softly, "Understood, pull over the carriage first, and wait until your master wakes up."

"Yes." The coachman said, leading the carriage to the side of the road.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, Jiang Chi woke up.Chen Ling knew that he could never sleep for half an hour.

Opening his eyes, he found that he was lying on Chen Ling's body with one of his palms as a pillow. Jiang Chi hurriedly sat up and said with a smile, "I fell asleep again, why didn't you wake me up?"

Chen Ling shook his numb arm that was under pressure, and smiled: "I don't want to part with it." After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chi, wondering if it was an illusion, the other party's smile froze for a moment, and there seemed to be a strong emotion in his eyes I didn't hold back and let it out.

But it should be an illusion, because Jiang Chi just stretched his waist, stretched his muscles and bones, and said casually: "How long have I been asleep?"

"Less than half an hour." Chen Ling said, "Are you too tired?"

"Hmm... the carriage is shaking dizzily." Jiang Chi said, stretching out his hand to fasten the cloak for Chen Ling, "Be tight, let's go down."

Although the weather is a bit cold now, the New Year is not far away after the twelfth lunar month, the streets are still very lively, there are shopkeepers selling New Year's goods with their burdens, and various other small items such as jade pendants and rouge.

"Is there anything you like?" Jiang Chi approached Chen Ling's ear in a low voice, and at the same time squeezed Chen Ling's bulging purse.

Chen Ling was amused, and said, "Knowing that you are rich, will you buy me everything I want?"

"Go, see what you want, and take it back." Jiang Chi smiled, restlessly pressed Chen Ling's waist and pushed forward.

Chen Ling seemed to be having a good time, happily running around in front of the stalls, looking here and there, picking up small things that were close to her eyes.

I remember going out for a walk with Jiang Chi a few months ago, but although the two of them were calm on the surface, they were like enemies in secret, suspicious and tempted each other, the atmosphere was far less relaxed than it is now.

After choosing for a long time, Chen Ling only bought a box of rouge, and he planned to give it to Xiaotao. He didn't like anything in particular.In fact, there is everything in the palace. He has seen a lot of treasures since he was a child, and he would not find ordinary small objects novel.

Jiang Chi walked up behind him, looked at all kinds of rouge, gouache and hairpin jadeware on the stall, and said, "Why don't you pick one for yourself?"

Chen Ling shook his head with a smile, and said, "I don't need any of these, it's a waste to buy them."

"Really?" Jiang Chi said, his eyes swept across the booth, "I would like to pick one, so I can treat it as a gift from you?"

"What do you want?" Chen Ling looked up at Jiang Chi in confusion.

Stretching out his hand, his fingertips brushed across a row of white jade hairpins, and finally stopped on a hairpin carved with orchid patterns. He nodded with his index finger, and Jiang Chi said, "This one."

Chen Ling looked over, and saw that it was a very elegant and simple white jade hairpin, engraved with simple patterns, delicate yet majestic, it really suited Jiang Chi very well.

But the hairpin seemed familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.Jiang Chi seemed to have such a hairpin in his previous life, and he often wore it. In this life, Jiang Chi mostly wore a jade crown to tie his hair, but hairpins are rare, so Chen Ling didn't think of it for a while.

No, it seems that it's not just that Jiang Chi had such a similar hairpin in his previous life.It seems that I have seen it not long ago, where is it?

……

"You said that we...we owe nothing to each other..."

……

in a dream? !

"No! Ah Chi, you can't buy this!" Chen Ling said, pulling Jiang Chi's hand away in horror.

"Why?" Jiang Chi looked at him in surprise, and said, "I find that hairpin very pleasing to the eye, why can't I buy it?"

"Because...because..." Chen Ling hesitated and couldn't tell why. He couldn't tell Jiang Chi that he had dreamed that the hairpin was covered with blood, so he presumed that the hairpin was an ominous thing or a murder weapon, right?

Seeing that Chen Ling couldn't explain the reason, Jiang Chi raised his hand and rubbed his head, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, isn't it just a hairpin? Why not give it to me?"

"My lord, this is the finest white jade, only 50 taels of silver, not expensive." The stall owner said.

Jiang Chi nodded, took out a piece of silver to the stall owner, and said, "Wrap it up, buy it!"

"Ah Chi..." Chen Ling looked at the velvet brocade bag wrapped with hairpins, his heart fluttered, but Jiang Chi seemed to be in high spirits, so he had no choice but to say nothing in the end.

Afterwards, the two strolled around for a while. It got dark early in winter, and the sun went down not long after.

Chen Ling remembered that tomorrow was Laba, and according to the tradition, he had to eat Laba porridge, so before returning to the palace, he bought some whole grains such as lotus seeds and longan, and waited for Jiang Chi to cook eight-treasure porridge for him tomorrow.

Jiang Chi said: "There are all these things in the palace, why do you choose them yourself?"

"This is the first Laba Festival I have spent with you, and it can be regarded as the beginning of the new year. I want to do everything myself from the selection of materials to the end." Chen Ling said, with a smile on his face when he spoke, thinking of Jiang Chi tomorrow When eating the eight-treasure porridge cooked by myself, my heart is full of sweetness, which is better than longan.

Jiang Chi picked up a lotus seed from Chen Ling's palm and stuffed it into his mouth.Chewing, a little sweet, but more bitter.

Holding the kit tightly, until Chen Ling picked out all the ingredients, he was behind Chen Ling, motionless.
