The next day, when Duan Changchuan woke up, it was just dawn.
The sun had not yet risen, and only a faint light was filtering through the thin paper of the window frame.
The person next to him was still sleeping soundly.
The woman's eyes were closed, and her eyelashes were long and thick.
He had seen the real daughter of the Bai family. A few years ago, she had attended the Empress Dowager's Spring Banquet with the Prime Minister's wife.
Her body is as delicate as a rainbow, and her sleeves are as white as rainbow, with a touch of delicate goose yellow on her forehead.
Although he was only twelve or thirteen years old, he already had the potential to be the best in Kyoto.
Since then, the name "Bai Jinzhi" has spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Duan Changchuan pulled himself away from his memories and looked back at the person sleeping beside him.
In fact, Bai Su and Bai Jinzhi are both daughters of prime ministers, and there are some similarities between their eyebrows and eyes.
But these two people give people completely different feelings.
One is gentle, calm and graceful.
And the other...
Thinking back to last night, when I put my hand on his lips and called him "little ancestor" helplessly yet indulgently.
Duan Changchuan's face turned red again for no apparent reason, and he angrily threw off the quilt and crawled out.
Shameless! Unfaithful to women!
lecher!

"Your Majesty, you are awake now. Won't you sleep a little longer?"
Changle saw Duan Changchuan coming out of the bedroom and asked him in a low voice.
Then she ordered the maids to bring her things for cleaning her face, and her eyes could not help but secretly look inside out of curiosity.
Duan Changchuan pressed down the corners of his lips in displeasure and deliberately threw the towel heavily, splashing water all over his face.
"If you want to see it so badly, why don't you go in? You can see it more clearly."
The young eunuch finally reacted and wiped his face quickly, bending over and smiling flatteringly: "I dare not. Your Majesty, how did you sleep last night? The quilt has been pressed in the cabinet for a long time, and I was worried all night. Your body is precious, what if something happens to you... You can't do this in the future."
Duan Changchuan thought of the rash he suddenly broke out last night and couldn't help but cough guiltily.
Said: "I know, nagging."
Come to think of it, I did not sleep well in the first half of last night. It was cold and damp.
But later... um, later Bai Su gave him the warm quilt, and he slept well throughout the second half of the night.
Better than ever.
I just always feel like there's something weird at the back of my neck.
It hurts, itches, and is a little sore.
This is how I feel when I wake up.
He couldn't help but move his neck. Just when he wanted to feel what was going on, he heard Changle exclaim in a breathy voice: "Your Majesty, why is the back of your neck swollen?"
"Hmm? Swollen?"
He looked back in surprise.
The young eunuch immediately took out a bronze mirror and said, "It is swollen, take a look for yourself... It looks like it was bitten by some insect..."
Duan Changchuan took it and looked at it suspiciously: "What kind of insects can there be in early spring? It's not summer."
Rather than being a bug, he thought it was the marks left by scratching the rash in the middle of the night.
"Why are there no insects? The Waking of Insects has passed, and many insects have awakened. They must be hiding in the quilt... I said that you can't sleep with that quilt."
Changle muttered softly and was about to come over to check.
"Could it be a scorpion? When winter turns to spring, scorpions..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Duan Changchuan seemed to be stressed out and grabbed his wrist fiercely, with such force that one could even hear the bone crackling.
The eunuch was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and admitted his fault tremblingly: "I deserve to die! Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
Duan Changchuan looked at the little eunuch who had already started slapping him, and a look of confusion and bewilderment flashed in his eyes.
Why... kneel down
Why “spare my life”
He didn't know what happened to him just now, but he subconsciously felt that that place couldn't be touched...
Before he could even react, he had already grabbed the person.
Now looking at Changle kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, it was obviously a common scene, but it suddenly felt strange.
The boy blinked blankly and silently let go.
Then he sighed and said, "I just... Forget it, go get a bronze mirror..."
When the young eunuch received the pardon order, he quickly said "Hey" and trotted to the ear room.
Duan Changchuan looked at the back of his neck in the bronze mirror. Although the image was not clear because of the stacking of two mirrors, he could still vaguely see two red and swollen spots.
"It looks to me like they were bitten by insects. Look, there are two red bumps, and there seems to be a bite mark."
The young eunuch held a mirror and spoke to him with a pout.
"How about I call the imperial physician to take a look? If it's just a small insect bite, it's okay, but if it's a poisonous creature like a snake or scorpion..."
When the boy heard the word "viper", he shuddered instinctively.
He frowned and waved his hand quickly: "Go ahead."
"Well, I'll give the order right away."
-
Bai Su was woken up by someone.
Some people came and went beside her, although they were all tiptoeing, but Alphas were born with a sense of territory, especially when sleeping.
The rustling sound of footsteps, mixed with a strange smell, made it impossible not to wake up.
I thought the sun was already high in the sky, but when I turned around, I saw a warm yellow light outside the window.
The sun has just risen, it seems to be just after seven in the morning
Helplessly holding his forehead, he said: This is indeed an era where we have to rise up at the sound of the cock-crow.
Beside the couch next door, a maid was standing and arranging the bedding.
Hearing the voice, she turned around and saluted slowly: "Your Majesty, you are up. His Majesty asked the maid to come in and pick up the old bedding on the couch and send it back to the Shangqin Bureau for inspection."
Bai Su yawned and nodded lazily: "Got it."
Then he lifted the quilt and walked out.
The clogs made a clacking sound when they stepped on the ground. She looked down and saw that it was not bad, not bad, very cool.
Pushing the door open, he saw maids and eunuchs standing in the hall outside. The little emperor was sitting on the couch in the middle, with a strange young man kneeling in front of him.
The navy blue robe was embroidered with unfamiliar wild birds.
He was leaning forward to check the boy's neck.
"It is just as Eunuch Changle said. It is not a rash that came from itself. It seems to have been bitten by something... Your Majesty, please forgive me and allow me to take a closer look."
As the young man spoke, his fingertips had already opened the little emperor's collar.
The boy just hummed and tilted his head obediently, revealing his fair and slender neck.
Seeing that the young man's thumb was about to touch her, Bai Su's head exploded with a buzzing sound, and she subconsciously shouted: "What are you doing? Let go!"
The voice was low and the glands at the back of the neck burst out with strong suppressive pheromones.
Everyone present, including Duan Changchuan, was stunned.
The others were frightened by the Queen's sudden anger, but Duan Changchuan... was frightened by a very strange feeling.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion…
Just when Bai Su spoke, he seemed to smell the soft scent of peony.
The fragrance lingered on his neck, soft and gentle, like a cloud.
Duan Changchuan had never felt this way before... The smell seemed to be tangible, lingering around his neck.
Although it was fleeting, I truly felt that I was protected.
Gentle, but powerful.
While I was stunned, I heard the woman's awkward explanation: "Uh, sorry, maybe I haven't woken up yet... I recognized the wrong person."
Looking up, I saw the person wearing a plain white undergarment.
Her black hair cascades down and her skin looks like fresh snow.
Wherever the sunlight falls, it is coated with a layer of bright gold.
By chance, the young imperial physician also looked in the direction of the sound...
Immediately: !!!
He quickly covered his face and turned around, trembling: "Your Majesty, I didn't see anything... Your Majesty, please understand!"
Duan Changchuan: …
Mingjian? Oh, you are so bold.
Am I blind, or are you blind
Looking at the culprit again, he had already sat down on the chair and put on a pale face in front of outsiders.
Especially since the underwear was not tied tightly, a large area of skin was exposed with the slightest movement.
It's simply immoral and shameless.
Duan Changchuan's anger immediately flared up, and he ordered coldly, "Come here, send the queen back to her bedroom. Don't come out until she's dressed properly."
After thinking for a while, he was still angry and said, "She is not allowed to go out even if she is dressed properly. She is confined to her house for a day. Also, call a few maids to teach her etiquette. If she does this again in the future, she will be confined to her house for ten days! If she can't learn it in ten days, she will be confined to her house during the day until she learns it."
The young man was so young, but the woman just yawned lazily, said "hmm" twice perfunctorily, and said in a long tone: "Okay, I know."
Like coaxing a child.
Duan Changchuan:
Is this the attitude of a bride towards her husband
Is this the Queen’s attitude towards the Emperor
I'm so angry that I want to stomp my feet!
I wanted to give her a few more words of advice, but she had already gone into the house without even saying goodbye.
Duan Changchuan hit the cotton with a heavy punch:…
ah!
This vulgar Bai! lady!
-
Chen time, Sitianjian.
In the yard, plum blossoms are in full bloom and birds are jumping on the high eaves.
Hearty laughter came from the long corridor.
The young man walked leisurely, half leaning on a cushion sitting under the willow tree.
He was wearing a black robe, with white lining visible between the collar and cuffs.
At this moment, he was holding a wine glass in one hand, barely stopping his laughter.
Opposite him, the young man in bright yellow clothes was so angry that his face turned red.
It was Duan Changchuan who told everything to the person on the other side.
"You're still laughing!"
The young man was angry and picked up the pennywort on the table and threw it at him.
Yun Xie dodged with a smile: "Hey, don't laugh, don't laugh, the copper coin grass is innocent."
After a while, he said again: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, the queen is such a wonderful person."
Duan Changchuan pretended to throw him again, but the young man smiled and begged for mercy: "Hey, no, no, I won't say anything."
After that, he put on his robe and poured tea for him: "Don't worry, Doctor Fang is a reliable doctor, he will never talk nonsense about such things. But did you find anything about your neck? It's so cold in spring, what kind of insect is so powerful?"
Duan Changchuan stretched his clothes awkwardly and said, "I can't see anything. I prescribed some ointment, saying it can calm the swelling. Let's apply it first and observe for two days. I don't think it's a poisonous insect."
Originally, it couldn’t be seen from Yun Xie’s angle, but his movement made it appear a little bit.
A small red dot. The swelling has subsided a little, but there are still dark red marks around it.
His expression changed slightly and he coughed softly.
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Last night, you and the Queen..."
Duan Changchuan immediately retorted: "Nothing happened! What do you think of me?"
But Yun Xie found it so interesting that he didn't restrain himself at all.
Her eyes swept over his neck playfully, and she smiled and pursed her lips at him: "From what I can see, this looks like it was bitten by someone."
He also deliberately bit the "person" hard.
Duan Changchuan didn't react for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Human? Why would a human bite me? Besides, I'm a living person, how could I not know I was bitten? It can't be that I was bitten while I was asleep..."
Halfway through your speech, you suddenly realize something is wrong
Being bitten while sleeping
Isn't that... Bai Su
!!!
