It was already evening when they came out of the palace, and the carriage wobbled through the crowd.

The car was extremely quiet, and Bian Yujing broke the silence first, "Tomorrow, I will leave for the Xuanji Pavilion as a teacher." Looking at Wu Qianqian, "Do you want to go back with my teacher?"

"Master, the capital is dangerous, so I don't worry about senior brother." Wu Qianqian shook her head, "I'll stay and return to Xuanji Pavilion with senior brother when all the dust settles."

Bai Lanshi closed his eyes and leaned against the carriage without saying a word.

The carriage drove and stopped at the gate of Changqing Mansion. Qi Huan came on horseback, "Brother."

The three eyes stayed on the energetic young man, Qi Huan was still cold, and he didn't want to get close to Bai Lanshi who was just recovering from a serious illness, so he stopped two steps away.

"Come in." Seeing Qi Huan's face, Bai Lanshi's mood improved slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Today Bian Yujing was extremely tired, so without saying much, he entered the mansion exhausted. Bai Lanshi turned sideways and said, "Junior Sister, go and see Master."

Wu Qianqian also felt that something was wrong with the master, she didn't see the usual laughter at all, so she stepped forward quickly and caught up with Bian Yujing.

Bai Lanshi stared at the two people's backs with deep eyes, and felt that the master had aged a lot and looked like a middle-aged man for a moment.

Waving his hands in front of his eyes, accompanied by Qi Huan's voice, "Brother, what are you thinking? Just go, it's cold outside."

In Rong Le's house, a charcoal fire had already been lit, waiting for the young master to come back at any time. When Rong Le waited, there was King Rui.

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Rui."

"Excuse me." After being warmed by the stove, I dared to sit next to my brother.

"Have you eaten yet?" Bai Lanshi asked, Qi Huan was dressed in military uniform, and he probably just came back from the military camp outside the city, and it would take him several hours to gallop on horseback.

Qi Huan knew that his brother was going to enter the palace early in the morning, so he hurried back. He didn't eat any decent food for a whole day. Only when he saw Bai Lanshi did he realize that he was very hungry and his stomach was convulsing.

"Brother, Huan'er's stomach hurts from hunger." Qi Huan stared at him aggrievedly, trying to show that he was very fragile.

A warm hand was attached to Qi Huan's stomach, rubbing gently through a layer of fabric, the warmth permeated through the clothes and spread to the skin, Qi Huan was so shocked that he forgot the belly draft he had typed in his head.

His head was in a mess, but Bai Lanshi ordered Rong Le to prepare some light supper in a serious manner.

"Is it still uncomfortable?" Bai Lanshi just knelt down in front of Qi Huan, rubbing it one after another, rubbing Qi Huan's hot body, and only wanted to press the person in front of him hard, so that he could only Be gentle with someone.

"If it was someone else, would my brother do the same?" Qi Huan asked what he thought in his heart. Although his brother made himself very happy and even excited by doing this, his brother treats everyone like this, which is meaningless. up.

What he wants is a unique preference, which is different from tenderness.

"Huh?" Bai Lanshi withdrew his hand but was held back boldly by Qi Huan, looking at Bai Lanshi who was as light as water in front of him with burning eyes.

Bai Lanshi really thought about Qi Huan's question seriously, if it was someone else, would he still do it? The answer is obvious.

"No, only you." Bai Lanshi frowned, but the words from his thin lips jumped into Qi Huan's softest heart one by one.

Qi Huan suppressed the desire to ignore it a few times, and finally it turned into a simple hug, "Brother is so kind."

He didn't want to scare his brother, and he didn't dare to gamble casually. He couldn't afford to gamble, and he couldn't gamble. Everything was going well, and it didn't matter even if it was a little slower. Who told his brother to be so stupid.

Bai Lanshi was at a loss as to feel the body temperature against his chest, it was very hot, and when he was considering whether to push it away, Qi Huan let it go.

"My lord, supper is ready." Rong Le's voice came from outside the door. Bai Lanshi felt embarrassed to be discovered, which he never had before, even though it was Rong Le who pushed the door to share the bed with Qi Huan Not in his current state of mind.

It seems that something is changing, but it can't be grasped, which makes Bai Lanshi have a rare anxiety.

"Brother, Huan'er is hungry." Qi Huan's coquettish voice entered Bai Lanshi's ears, "Bring it in."

Fish balls, fish soup, almond tea and a plate of spicy white radish, Bai Lanshi didn't eat much at the palace banquet, and he was a little hungry now.

"Send a copy to the master and junior sister." Remembering that the two of them didn't eat anything, the junior sister didn't even eat a drop.

Rong Le said with a smile, "Young master, don't worry, Qianqian came back and clamored for food, the kitchen has already sent it."

"Okay, go down and rest, it's getting late." Bai Lanshi said.

"This..." Rong Le looked at Qi Huan hesitantly, "His Royal Highness King Rui is still here, but there is no one to serve you when the slave is gone."

"It's okay, I'll take care of my brother." Qi Huan looked at Bai Lanshi with a smile, "My brother will definitely agree."

"Well. Go down and rest." Bai Lanshi looked away uncomfortably, his heart beat faster for a moment, and the unknown feelings struggled to break through the ground.

After Rong Le stepped back, the room was silent for a moment.

When Bai Lanshi recovered, his lips were touched by the porcelain spoon, "Brother, the fish balls are very tender, try it."

I ate it without even thinking about it. It was really delicious and smooth. It is rare to make such frozen shrimp in winter, and it took a lot of effort. Seeing Bai Lanshi biting Bai Nen's jade ball with his white teeth, and unpreparedly eating the food delivered to his mouth, Qi Huan's ears turned red inexplicably.

"Brother." Qi Huan struggled to tell Bai Lanshi that he had used the spoon, but he couldn't say it no matter how he organized the words, in other words, he didn't want to tell it in a joke.

"It's nothing." Qi Huan smiled foolishly, silly and cute.

The almond tea was picked up and sipped, and the sweetness went straight to the bottom of my heart, "It is said that almond tea can whiten the skin, and every girl will drink a bowl before going to bed." Qi Huan said.

"How do you know about the girl's family?" Bai Lanshi took a few mouthfuls and then stopped moving, sitting there lazily with half-closed eyes, feeling comfortable and comfortable.

"Brother, don't misunderstand Huan'er, Qi Xiaoya said it in front of the king every day." Qi Huan took another sip, "It's very sweet, only daughters like it."

Bai Lanshi smiled, "Aren't you planning to go back home today?" The sky outside was completely dark, and people were not allowed to go out during the curfew time unless there were important matters. This is what Qi Huan was waiting for.

"Brother won't drive me away, I guess it's already a curfew." The young man's eyes were sincere, and seeing his brother loosen, Qi Huan took the opportunity to increase his strength, "Brother, it's warmer here, warmer than other places."

If Qi Huan had a tail, it would be enough to sweep the floor behind him.

More and more I found that Qi Huan's own bottom line was getting lower and lower, and the other party could satisfy him willingly by acting like a baby or speaking softly, "Okay, I'll go to rest first, and come over after eating."

At this time, why are you still caring about eating, and followed behind your brother, waiting for Bai Lanshi to wash and undress, "Brother, I'm full."

"Brother, I'm coming."

When Bai Lanshi went to bed, Qi Huan quickly took off his coat, kicked off his boots and got under the quilt. The two still had two quilts, but Qi Huan knew that his brother would come over after he fell asleep, so he just waited quietly.

Looking at his brother's fair and delicate neck with delight, he seemed to feel it. The last time he hugged him, he realized that his waist was so thin. He didn't dare to use force, for fear of hurting him recklessly.

Sure enough, when the temperature was lowest in the middle of the night, Bai Lanshi followed his instincts to find the place where the heat radiated from the bed. Qi Huan contentedly put his arms around his brother's waist, buried his face in his brother's neck, and felt the faint medicinal fragrance from the person in his arms.

It was only when he leaned in that he realized that his elder brother was so small and delicate, that he could actually hold his elder brother in his arms, this man Qi Huan was greatly satisfied.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Lanshi woke up from the hot embrace, squinted his eyes for a moment, wondering why he fell asleep in Qi Huan's embrace again.

But it was so warm, any kind of warmth would be fatal to Bai Lanshi, he was addicted to it and refused to move. Qi Huan was still asleep, his hot breath hitting the sensitive side of his neck, making Bai Lanshi a little nervous from the burning.

It wasn't until now that Bai Lanshi realized that Qi Huan had grown up and could wrap himself in his arms. His strong muscles made the young man stronger. In contrast, Bai Lanshi was extremely thin.

Like duckweed floating on the surface of a lake, if it wasn't for everyone around him, he alone would sink to the bottom of the cold lake sooner or later, or there would be nothing left of being eaten by fish, how ridiculous.

Stripped of all his fragility, Bai Lanshi likes to beat his delicate heart constantly, every throbbing reminds him that he is still alive.

I often see Bai Lanshi in a trance and can't distinguish things around him. Is he still alive? Whether all this is just a dream. He had used the most extreme method to draw blood on his body with a dagger. The pain and bright blood beads answered his doubts.

The sound behind him brought back Bai Lanshi's consciousness. Qi Huan was excited until the middle of the night last night, and now he is still in a dazed state. Subconsciously, he wants to get closer to the people around him, and subconsciously pulls them into his arms.

The sudden movement made Bai Lanshi's whole body stiff, and the body stuck behind him was hard to ignore. Without feeling bored, he thought about sleeping for a while, just for a while, the rare warmth.

It was noon when I opened my eyes again, and the people around me were missing, as if everything in the morning was just a dream.

After washing up and putting on the cloak, Bai Lanshi walked to the front yard and saw Qi Huan who entered the door, Qi Huan walked over with his hands behind his back and stood in front of his brother.

"Brother, guess what I brought back?" Qi Huan shook his body pretending to be mysterious.

It suddenly reminded Bai Lanshi of what happened this morning, and he glanced away uncomfortably, and the bright red thing flashed past and settled in front of his eyes.

The hawthorn was wrapped in light yellow rock sugar and worn on a polished wooden stick. Bai Lanshi's slightly surprised expression pleased Qi Huan, "Brother, try it."

Bai Lanshi is not interested in food, especially the ones sold at stalls, so he has never eaten this.

Qi Huan's bright eyes softened Bai Lanshi's heart, and after taking it, he carefully stuck out his tongue and licked the rock candy outside.

so sweet.

Qi Huan's eyes curved into a smile, "Is it delicious?"

Bai Lanshi nodded, and Qi Huan said, "I knew my brother liked it, and so did many children."

"You compare your child with me?" Bai Lanshi raised his eyebrows slightly, Qi Huan really loved his brother like this.

He is obviously a fairy who is drifting away with the wind, but holding a candied haws full of fireworks at this moment, not only is he not out of place, but it makes people feel very cute.

"A brother is sometimes worse than a child." Qi Huan tightened the belt of Bai Lanshi's cloak.

Wu Qianqian came back in a hurry from the outside, slammed the gate of Changqing Mansion, and stuck it on the bolt, as if someone was chasing after her.

Wu Qianqian turned around and saw Qi Huan rolling her eyes angrily, "Your sister is really annoying."

Qi Huan looked at Bai Lanshi innocently and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know anything.

After a while, a head appeared on the wall of Changqing House, Bai Lanshi was stunned, Qi Xiaoya raised her head and waved to Bai Lanshi to greet him, "Mr. Bai, what a coincidence, brother, you are here."

Qi Huan just felt that he hadn't seen it, and Wu Qianqian walked in without even looking at Qi Xiaoya.

After Qi Xiaoya jumped down with her skirt, she passed by Bai Lanshi and smiled, "Mr. Bai is bothering you." She ran towards the corner where Wu Qianqian turned, "Qianqian, wait for me!"

In the dramatic scene, Bai Lanshi looked away and turned to look at Qi Huan who was beside him, "You brothers and sisters like to climb over the wall so much." He nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that the wall should be built higher."

"Brother." Qi Huan hurried to catch up with Bai Geshi, and said flatteringly, "The wall in brother's courtyard doesn't need to be built, leave a place for Huan'er."
