"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Your Majesty, please be careful with your hands!"
Before entering the tent, Yan Xing boiled a pot of boiling water and made a cup of tea himself.
It wasn't until Eleven's words that he woke up from a dream.
In fact, he rarely did these trivial tasks himself, but just when he was about to drink tea, Eleven suddenly had a stomachache and ran out into the woods with his legs crossed.
He only brought eleven followers with him on the trip, and now he had to take matters into his own hands.
Yan Xing didn't know that he couldn't hold the tea cup that had just been filled with boiling water directly in his hand. As soon as he took it in his hand, the whole palm and five fingers were burned to the point of pain.
But he didn't put down the tea cup immediately.
At the moment when his hands were scalded by hot water, it was clear that autumn was in Shanglin Garden in front of him, but suddenly it started to snow heavily.
Immediately afterwards, all the goose feathers and heavy snow turned into the appearance of the imperial city, and a lonely figure walked on the blue brick road to Yuxiu Palace against the flying snow.
He tried hard to see the figure clearly, but at most he could tell that it was a thin woman, her face shrouded in a hazy mist.
Like the moon in the water.
Yuxiu Palace is where his mother and concubine live.
After Yan Xiu ascended the throne, he asked Yan Xiu three times to bring his mother and concubine into Prince Yi's Mansion to take care of her until she was old.
But he himself also knew that Yan Xiu was afraid of him, so he rejected his request every time, and he never mentioned it again.
The identity of this woman...
Yan Xing was certain that she was the woman who appeared in the wedding night hallucination last time. Although he could not see her face clearly both times, she always gave him an extremely familiar feeling.
This time she wore a goose-yellow winter coat and knelt in front of Concubine Chen. She held a cup of hot tea with the lid off in both hands, and the steam was emitting like rising clouds of smoke.
The woman's fingers soon turned red and trembled, and even huge blisters appeared on her fingertips, until she could no longer hold the cup and dropped the tea cup to the ground.
Concubine Chen slapped the table angrily and said, "What a worthless piece of trash! You can't even do a small thing like serving tea. I don't know how you got into the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion!"
The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Mom, please calm down!"
The floor of Yuxiu Palace is very cold.
But Mrs. Chen asked the palace maid to bring her a cup of boiling tea, and asked her to continue to kneel down and hold it.
After drinking one cup of tea after another, the woman's hands were in terrible shape, and even the nanny beside her couldn't bear it: "Toffee, the princess has lost her memory this time, please take her tea!"
princess? His future Princess Yi? It's not Zhu Siyi?
Just as Yan Xing wanted to find out more, he was pulled back from the hallucination by Eleven.
When he regained consciousness, the tea in his hand was half cold, his hands were burned red, and his fingertips were blistered just like the woman.
Eleven has become increasingly confused about his master recently, and said worriedly: "My lord, what's wrong with you recently? But do you miss Miss Zhu too much?"
Yan Xing shook his head: "Nothing, just go and get the burn ointment."
…
There were two uninvited guests standing outside Yan Xiu's tent.
He was bumped into by Zhu Sijia who was returning from Beiliang Camp.
Zhu Sijia found it strange that these two were her other two brothers, namely Zhu Yuanxi, Aunt Yun's descendant, and Zhu Yu, the adopted son of Prince Yan's Palace.
When we met in the past, they just bowed to her and left her in the usual manner, but today they suddenly came to visit her.
The two little guys were carrying a pheasant with brightly colored fur. They stood in front of a row of armored guards and did not dare to breathe. Their clothes were soaked with sweat from the scorching sun and they did not dare to move around.
The two of them are the youngest children in Prince Yan's palace, both ten years old this year.
In the same year that Zhu Yuanxi was born, Zhang Yin, who was managing servants in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, also picked up an abandoned baby boy. This was Zhu Yu.
Some people say that Zhang Yin had no children, so she originally took Zhu Yuancun to the hospital to raise her in order to stabilize her status.
But Zhu Yu's appearance seemed to gradually shift her attention to Zhu Yuancun, and even made Zhu Yuancun, who originally lived in her courtyard, move back to Yu's courtyard.
What's more, rumors spread that the crown prince of Prince Yan's palace would be spoiled by his adopted son.
When Zhu Yuanxi and Zhu Yu saw Zhu Sijia returning, they felt instantly liberated, their eyes shining.
After the two of them saluted her, Zhu Yu was stumbling and couldn't explain for a long time; Zhu Yuanxi snatched the pheasant from his hand and handed it to Zhu Sijia with a red face:
"Please also ask Beauty to accept this pheasant that the two of us hunted together! Beauty also knows that our riding and archery skills have never been as good as Big Brother's... But we were able to hunt this bird today, thanks to Big Brother's guidance!"
"My mother said that the feathers of high-quality pheasants are really rare. If the feathers are made into colored jewelry, they will best match the beauty's unique beauty. The two of us specially dedicated it to the beauty."
The half-dead pheasant was still panting slightly, and the uncoagulated blood at the wound was also leaking out, and it was not light. How could Zhu Scarlett dare to reach out to catch it?
Even Aunt Zhong stared at the pheasant with a confused look on her face.
"It's really good." Yan Xiu stood behind her at some point and took the pheasant for her.
"The younger generation in Prince Yan's Palace should now take Uncle Wu Xing as their role model. You two need to practice riding and shooting diligently, don't be lazy. Next time, hunt some other rare birds for my beauty."
When the two children saw Yan Xiu, they were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Yan Xiu responded with an expressionless expression and sent the two of them away.
In front of outsiders, he always looks cold and frosty.
He was obviously the late emperor's most beloved child, and he was established as the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty as soon as he was born. It can be said that Yan Xiu grew up in the spotlight.
Perhaps it was because he ascended the throne at a young age, or perhaps because the bloodline of the late emperor should not be underestimated, and everyone was eyeing his position, which created Yan Xiusheng's character of being unapproachable and unattainable.
There are even rumors that Yan Xiu's name can stop children from crying.
Yan Xiu casually left the pheasant to be handled by the eunuchs and ordered them to prepare hot water.
Zhu Sijia followed him, lowered her head and followed him into the tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, Yan Xiu began to untie his belt and quickly took off his slim-fitting clothes, leaving only a middle coat.
But he didn't say a word.
Isn't it? Could it be that he wants to sleep with himself again? Those left behind yesterday...are not all healed yet.
Best wishes was the first thought that came to Scarlett's mind.
Yan Xiu knelt down in front of the case and read the military book, but never said a word to her.
What happened to my Majesty?
It wasn't until a group of eunuchs filled the bathtub with hot water and stepped back wisely that Yan Xiu threw away the military book and looked at Zhu Sijia with deep eyes: "Wait for me to take a bath."
Zhu Sijia suspected that her ears had heard it wrong. Her face was burning, and she followed Yan Xiu around the screen to the bathtub in the back.
Everything was normal at first. He closed his eyes lightly and Zhu Sijia rubbed his shoulders and patted his back. When Zhu Sijia turned around to find a dry towel, she was pulled into the bathtub by Yan Xiu.
Zhu Sijia choked on several mouthfuls of water and almost fainted in the bathtub.
Yan Xiu fished her out, sat her in the bathtub, and looked at her condescendingly:
"Stay away from him."
