The lord can't get along with this butterfly

When Ji Xiao returned to the bedroom, Hua Zhuo had already fallen asleep, and most of the lights in the room were turned off, leaving him only the one closest to the door.

...Didn't you say you were afraid of having nightmares?

Ji Xiao was a little strange, and walked over slowly. The person on the bed was breathing steadily, and the faint light shone on his face, reflecting that delicate face incomparably peacefully. cheek.

After a short pause, Ji Xiao stretched out his hand to gently push the lock of hair away, and when he got closer, he suddenly smelled a scent of flowers.

Hua Zhuo suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him calmly.

"You didn't sleep?" Ji Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Hua Zhuo said innocently: "I just lay down."

"I knew it..." Ji Xiao had a slight headache, pulled a chair helplessly, and sat by the bed, with a troubled expression on his face, "Is this all right? Go to sleep."

Huazhu looked at him suspiciously.

what? !

"Close your eyes." Ji Xiao urged, "Are you still going to sleep?"

"Sleeping..." Hua Zhuo was depressed, "So can you stop sitting here?"

Ji Xiao thought he was busy, "Then where do you want me to go?"

Could it be that you still have to go to bed with me?Ji Xiao's eyebrows twitched, and he said angrily, "Can't you be more reserved?"

Hua Zhuo's eyes widened, how could he not be reserved?

"Hurry up and sleep." Ji Xiao insisted on not giving in, sitting on the chair without moving.

Although they are married now, they have only known each other for two months after all. Wouldn't it be too extravagant to fall asleep together so soon.

"No..." Hua Zhuo felt unbelievable, and asked in confusion, "Why don't you go to sleep and sit here?"

"Did Ruanta sleep uncomfortably... want to sleep on the bed?" Hua Zhuo guessed.

"I want to sleep in bed?" Ji Xiao was almost laughed angrily at him, feeling that he didn't know what to do, "Obviously you said you would have nightmares at night, otherwise you thought I would come and watch you sleep?"

Hua Zhuo was slightly taken aback, and it took him a long time to remember that he seemed to have mentioned the word "nightmare" today, but he just said it casually.

Moreover, even if it is a nightmare, it is not necessary for him to come over and sleep...

Hua Zhuo looked at him quietly, a little speechless.

"Sleep." Ji Xiao stared at him unquestionably.

Hua Zhuo was powerless to explain, and sighed with complicated emotions, thinking what's the matter... Turned over to face him, forced to close his eyes to sleep.

After about half an hour, Ji Xiao came out of the room, and the shadow guard jumped off the roof.

"Find out?" Ji Xiao said.

The shadow guard nodded and said, "Young Madam went to Jiangxuelou today."

"Jiang Xuelou..." Ji Xiao secretly frowned.

"I knew he wouldn't be obedient. Over the years, the national teacher has been widely rumored in the outside world, and most of the rumors are supernatural. People like this are mostly not easy to provoke. I don't know what Lin Qiu thinks. He just wants to get involved. These troubles..." Ji Xiao was a little irritable, and said to the Shadow Guard with a cold face, "Go and find out about that national teacher, and who has entered and left Jiang Xuelou recently."

The shadow guard hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Master Shao, is there really a national teacher in Jiangxue Tower?"

Ji Xiao said "Yes" without hesitation.

"But my subordinates heard a few days ago that the emperor held a banquet for all the ministers, and the national teacher was among them." The shadow guard was puzzled, but he didn't dare to be sure, and said, "However... the affairs of the court, the subordinates also I haven't paid attention to it before, Qiujiang City is thousands of miles away from the Imperial City, and when the news comes, it may be a few months ago."

Ji Xiao frowned. He also felt that it was very strange for the national teacher to appear here. It would take at least three months to travel from Qiujiang City to the capital. How could the emperor let such an important minister leave the capital quietly for so many days? ?

It would be even more impossible to say that the one in Jiangxuelou was a fake national teacher.Jiangxue Tower is a place bestowed by the emperor, and it is located in the city, so there are many people, no one dares to pretend to be a national teacher like this.

In this way, it is only possible that the national teacher got the emperor's order and came here secretly.But what does this have to do with Lin Qiu?Chaotang and Wulin have always been distinct, and Lin Qiu's background is not so outstanding, why does the national teacher see him again and again?

If it's not for official business, it can only be because of private affairs.

private matter...

Ji Xiao's complexion was a little gloomy, and he suddenly remembered what Hua Zhuo had said before.

"I like to look for flowers and ask willows. I have picked more flowers than you have eaten. If you don't let me go out of the wall, I will feel uncomfortable."

"However, the people say that the national teacher is not an ordinary person, and it is not unfounded. Just that face is enough to be monstrous..."

"Better looking than me."

Ji Xiao's heart couldn't be suppressed, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly to the shadow guard: "Go, find out what I just said!"

"Yes." The shadow guard took the order and went down.

Ji Xiao stood calmly in the courtyard.

After a while, a figure passed by on the path outside the courtyard gate.

Ji Xiao's eyes darkened, and he called people to stop.

Er Fu looked at his face, and walked over timidly, "Young Master, Young Master, do you have something to order?"

"What's in your hand?" Ji Xiao asked.

Er Fu opened the book in his hand to show him, and said, "This is the pattern sent by the brocade workshop today. It will be winter next month, and tomorrow I will show it to you to choose the pattern..."

Ji Xiao just glanced at it, then frowned in disgust, "It's such a colorful look again."

Er Fu scratched his head, "Master, he likes to dress up more than before, and he likes to look good in everything he does..."

Ji Xiao's eyes brightened, "Where's the person?"

Er Fu was taken aback, "Who?"

"People also like good-looking ones?" Ji Xiao asked.

Erfu was dumbfounded by the question, thinking who wouldn't like this... So he nodded subconsciously.

Ji Xiao's expression seemed to be even more irritable, he glanced at the album in his hand, and said coldly: "You don't need to let him choose the clothes, I will ask someone to arrange it, you go and give the album to the housekeeper."

Er Fu couldn't help but feel depressed for the young master, why he didn't even allow him to pick a piece of clothing, so he had no choice but to answer sullenly, "Yes."

Er Fu turned around and was about to leave when Ji Xiao stopped him again.

"His clothes should be less scented, at least not on the inner clothes, it doesn't always smell good." Ji Xiao said.

Er Fu was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, and said, "Young master's clothes have never been scented, the young master should be smelling the fragrance of young master's body."

Ji Xiao was a little surprised, "On his body?"

Er Fu nodded, and said: "Before, the villain also thought it was some kind of spice, but later found out that the smell is indeed the young master's own."

Ji Xiao frowned slightly, "You mean, he didn't have this scent on him before?"

"Yes." Er Fu replied.

"When did that start?" Ji Xiao asked immediately.

Erfu thought for a while, and said, "It seems to have been there since the young master fell into the water, which is quite strange."

The color of Ji Xiao's eyes changed slightly, and there was something strange in his heart, before he said after a while: "Understood, let's go down."

Er Fu went out in response.

For the next two consecutive nights, Hua Zhuo fell asleep under Ji Xiao's surveillance, causing him to have signs of insomnia now.Fortunately, he had to leave for Fengxuemen on the third day, so he couldn't help but pray that Ji Xiao would be more normal in the future, and stop sitting on the edge of the bed nervously and forcing himself to sleep.

It rained last night, and the ground was still wet. The morning's coolness was mixed with heavy humidity. As soon as Hua Zhuo went out, she was shivered by the cold wind. She hurriedly followed Ji Xiao into the carriage.

This kind of traveling carriage is spacious and comfortable. Because of the cold weather, it is padded with a thick layer of cushions.Snacks, tea, and a burning incense burner were placed on the small table in front of the car. The thick curtains kept the cold wind out, and the whole car was extremely warm and comfortable.

Hua Zhuo's body is afraid of the cold, so she dressed thicker than others in late autumn, with a thin blanket on her knees, and sat next to Ji Xiao, holding a piece of pastry and biting.

"Didn't you eat enough in the morning?" Ji Xiao asked.

Huazhuo shook her head while eating, and replied: "I'm quite full, but this pastry is delicious."

After hearing what he said, Ji Xiao hesitated for a moment, then pinched a small piece and put it in his mouth.

... so cloyingly sweet.

Ji Xiao didn't like this taste, frowned, glanced at him, and said unintentionally: "The taste is so sweet, no wonder I gained a lot of weight recently."

Hua Zhuo was stunned, held Osmanthus Crisp's hand for a while, turned to look at him, and murmured: "I... have gained weight?"

Ji Xiao paused, looking at him as if he had said something that he shouldn't have said, so he changed his words: "No...not much fatter either."

Hua Zhuo was not very happy, her expression was full of hurt, and asked: "How much is there not a lot? Is it obvious?"

The corners of Ji Xiao's lips moved inconceivably, it was hard to understand why a man should care so much about his figure, so he said forcefully, "It's not obvious."

Seeing that he was still depressed, Ji Xiao added another sentence that was pleasant to the ear, "You were too thin before, but now you are more well-proportioned."

But Hua Zhuo obviously still cared a lot, put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand back on the plate, and turned her head to the side worriedly, with an expression on her face as if the sky was falling.

Ji Xiao's head hurts.

The carriage gradually entered the city, and remembering the report from the Shadow Guard in the morning, Ji Xiao changed the subject in time, and said, "Did you go to Jiangxuelou again recently?"

Hua Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and turned his head.

Ji Xiao glanced at him, "I didn't send anyone to follow you, I just asked someone to check your whereabouts the day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday?" Hua Zhuo was puzzled, "Why?"

Ji Xiao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said as a matter of course: "Check why you are so scared that you dare not sleep by yourself."

Hua Zhuo had a complicated heart and didn't bother to argue with him, saying: "So, you found out that I went to Jiangxuelou?"

"Yes." Ji Xiao didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and looked at him calmly, "So I'm a little curious, what's so good about Jiang Xuelou that made you run there without listening to the advice? What is it? Are you so scared?"

In the morning, according to the shadow guard's report, the national teacher's real name was Bai Yi, and his identity was hidden so deeply that his origin could not be found at all, only some supernatural rumors.I asked the people in Qiujiang City, and it is true that no one has seen the national teacher appear in Jiangxue Tower, and the only person who has entered and exited there recently should be Hua Zhuo.

After a moment of silence, Hua Zhuo didn't answer his question, but asked, "Did you ask someone to investigate the national teacher?"

"Yes." Ji Xiao put down the teacup and said calmly.

Hua Zhuo frowned, thinking of the treacherous scene in Jiang Xuelou, she inevitably felt scared, and said: "Don't do this kind of thing in the future, if you get involved with him, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."

Using the fairy furnace to refine blood, no matter how you think about it, it looks like a demon is doing evil, so naturally you should hide as far away as possible.And he hasn't figured out whether the holy treasure is in the hands of the national teacher, if the person who took away the green burnt jade was the national teacher, what should Ji Xiao do?

"Then what about you." Ji Xiao put down the teacup, his eyes were cold, "Why did you get involved with him?"

It's hard for Hua Jue to explain, why not: "I'm different..."

"Why is it different?" Ji Xiao said coldly.

"It's none of your business... After all, I won't go to that place again." Hua Zhuo said.

Thinking of his reasonable appearance just now, Hua Jue curled her lips again, and reminded with some displeasure: "Also, don't check my whereabouts in the future."

Ji Xiao's eyes darkened immediately.

Indeed, I shouldn't ask where he went and what kind of people he knew, but this time I had to ask someone to investigate because I was worried that something would happen to him... I clearly did it for his own good, I really don't know Anyway.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, Ji Xiao looked gloomy, staring out the window, the atmosphere became much colder for a while.

After a while, Ji Xiao suddenly turned his head to look at him, and said coldly, "I'm asking you..."

Hua Zhuo looked up at him.

Ji Xiao had a serious expression on his face, "Compared with the national teacher, who is prettier?"

"..." Hua Zhuo looked dull.

"Speak." Ji Xiao said impatiently.

The topic jumped off too quickly, seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Hua Zhuo struggled for a long time, and hesitated, "... they all look good."

Ji Xiao's face turned black, he picked up the tea and took a sip to suppress the fire.

"You are two types, you can't talk about them together, but..." Hua Zhuo changed the subject, glanced at him, and said embarrassedly, "If it is according to my preference...you should be the better looking. "

Huazhuo: Every day, it’s really annoying :)
