The Protagonist Only Thinks About Falling In Love
Chapter 48
However, Wen Yijin thought it was normal, Yin Xuanye was already eighteen, if he hadn't been on the battlefield, he would have married a wife and had children at this age, and I'm afraid that after a while, the ministers in the court would start urging him.
And it was indeed as Wen Yijin expected——
Yin Xuanye returned from this expedition with a great victory, and his reputation has been improved. During the three years of fighting abroad, he has also cultivated many confidantes.
After returning to the court, the first time he went to the court was to give promotions and rewards to the soldiers who had made meritorious service this time.
Yin Xuanye sat on the dragon chair and experienced three years of hardships. His aura was quite different from before. He exuded the majesty of the emperor, and his every word was resounding.
He also rewarded Wen Yijin with rare items, saying that he had made great contributions to governing the country in the past three years.
"If you have something to play, leave the court if you have nothing to do." After the little eunuch's high-pitched voice, the court and middle ministers withdrew from the hall one after another.
"General Xu, congratulations!"
The surrounding of the rewarded military official was full of voices.
Some people are happy and some are sad, but the ones who are worried are the people on Wen Yijin's side. Wen Yijin can stand firmly in the court, and he has one or two close friends in the court. There are often rumors among the ministers that Wen Yijin and Yin Xuanye are at odds. Once Ye gains power, it will definitely threaten Wen Yijin - I don't know what kind of struggle there will be between the two.
However, Wen Yijin was never worried. When he left the palace, he was stopped by an eunuch.
"The slave pays his respects to the Regent."
This eunuch was Lu Xi who was serving by Yin Xuanye's side.
He stopped in his tracks and asked what was the matter, Lu Xi said, "Your Majesty invites the Regent to have a cup of tea."
"Lead the way." Wen Yijin said
In Ganlu Hall, the maids and eunuchs serving in the hall trembled and did not dare to breathe. The person who made this atmosphere here was the monarch who sat at the table with a fierce look on his face.
"Snapped"--
A booklet was thrown out.
The hall was quiet, the maids bowed their heads, Yin Xuanye threw the booklet out without raising his head, and picked up another booklet casually.
A person came in quietly at the entrance of the hall, and picked up the folder that was thrown on the ground with his slender hands. The maids saw him and saluted one after another.
Yin Xuanye raised his head when he heard the ladies in the palace saluting, and the gloominess on his face dissipated a little.
"Your Majesty, why are you so angry?" Wen Yijin folded the memorial and put it on the table.
Yin Xuanye: "Lonely—"
He paused for a moment, and let the maids go out.
The servants in the hall quickly retreated, and did not forget to close the door.
Yin Xuanye asked Wen Yijin to read the book by himself, and he opened it. An official said that Yin Xuanye should enrich the harem and talked about the draft.
"It's been so long since I've been back, and I'm so impatient to put someone next to me, what kind of heart is there!" Yin Xuanye said.
"Your Majesty doesn't want to?" Wen Yijin put the notebook in his hand, "This can also be used as a method to maintain the balance among the court officials."
Yin Xuanye paused for a moment, then snorted coldly, "Do you still rely on women?"
"The minister has no other intentions."
"Prince Regent, what are you so worried about?"
"It's for His Majesty's good intentions." Wen Yijin said, "I just mentioned it casually, so Your Majesty doesn't need to take it to heart."
"What if Gu is released?" Yin Xuanye asked him back, his tone couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.
These words are a little aggressive.
Wen Yijin paused for a moment, at this moment, he could feel the gap between Yin Xuanye and the past, the immature past has long been replaced by the deepness of the present.
The heart of an emperor is unpredictable, Wen Yijin said: "My minister..."
Before he could say anything, the itching in his throat made him tilt his head and cough a few times.
Yin Xuanye frowned slightly, "The imperial doctor is here to show you."
"No problem." Wen Yijin raised his hand to stop it, and said, "The old problem is wrong, Your Majesty don't mind, it was the minister who made a slip of the tongue earlier."
"Gu didn't blame you." Yin Xuanye said, his eyes swept over his face that was a little red from coughing, and he unconsciously licked his lower lip.
In the past three years, the regent has not changed at all, his appearance is still as handsome as he was born, and he has not been dragged down by his illness in the slightest.
The arrogance on his body disappeared suddenly.
Wen Yijin: "..."
Yin Xuanye: "I just feel that what you said is really unpleasant, so don't say it in the future."
"I remember it." Wen Yijin responded in a gentle voice, thinking, probably his words made Yin Xuanye feel that he was saying that he relied on women, which made him unhappy.
"Your Majesty asked Lu Xi to call his ministers, why?"
"Almost forgot." Yin Xuanye took out a booklet and said, "Uncle Guo posted the booklet, saying that you have repeatedly avenged private revenge. What's going on?"
Wen Yijin's eyes froze, and he took it over to read. The content in the booklet was taken out of context, and the words were meaningful, with a hint that Wen Yijin wanted to rebel and become king. Uncle Guo's side has not been safe in the past three years. Wen Yijin broke He had so many arms that he couldn't sit still. As soon as Yin Xuanye came back, he wanted to sow discord.
If Yin Xuanye had been more suspicious of him, he probably wouldn't have brought the book in front of him so bluntly, questioned him directly, and if he went to investigate in private, the things he found might be subtle.
There is a big difference between the questioning after the investigation and the questioning before the investigation. The latter reveals his trust in Wen Yijin.
Yin Xuanye's actions might not have been expected by Uncle Guo, even Wen Yijin was a little surprised, and after the accident, he couldn't help laughing.
"What happened to your hand?" Yin Xuanye followed Wen Yijin's hand holding the memorial, and noticed something that he hadn't noticed before.
hand?
Wen Yijin looked down and saw a few red marks on the back of her hand, "It was scratched by a branch."
Yin Xuanye frowned, and whispered, "So careless."
Wen Yijin covered it with her sleeves, and continued the previous topic: "Your Majesty came to ask the minister, but do you have the answer in your heart?"
"I want to hear what you say."
"Then, please tell His Majesty slowly."
Yin Xuanye said "wait for a while", he got up and went out for a while, he didn't know what to order, he came back after a while, lifted his robe and sat down, "tell me."
Wen Yijin cleared her throat, and listed all the corrupt and dissident officials he had eliminated in the past three years, without exaggerating or omitting details.
Yin Xuanye listened, the expression on his face did not change much.
After a while, a court lady knocked on the door and came in. Wen Yijin stopped talking for a moment, then turned her head to look over, and saw that the palace lady was holding a tray with a bowl of things on it.
"This is white fungus pear soup, moistens the throat and clears the lungs, try it." While Yin Xuanye was speaking, the maid put down the bowl, bowed her body, and went out quietly again.
The color of tremella pear soup looks very attractive, and it is still slightly steaming, and the sugar water is a little sticky on the edge of the bowl.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Wen Yijin held the bowl and stirred it with a spoon. The rim of the bowl was still warm. He lowered his head and ate two mouthfuls. It was not particularly sweet and greasy. The mouthfeel had the fragrance of pears, which was very refreshing.
"how?"
"The taste is just right, sweet and delicious." Wen Yijin smiled, "Why did you only ask someone to make a bowl?"
"I don't like to eat." Yin Xuanye said.
Wen Yijin took a few mouthfuls, cleared her mouth with the teacup, and then continued to talk about business.
After half an hour, he retired from the hall.
In the room, Yin Xuanye was sitting, not interested in dealing with the memorial. He had a headache from reading the draft papers. He tapped on the table with his fingertips. His eyes swept over the half-bowl of white fungus pear soup at the corner of the table, and he pursed his lower lip. .
Wen Yijin returned to the mansion.
On the corridor in the courtyard, there was a small cage. The cage was not closed. A little orange cat was squatting inside and licking the hair on its body. There was a white cloth wrapped around its legs. It was raining a few days ago, and Wen Yijin's second I picked it up in the yard one day, and the kitten broke its leg.
When he came back, he just walked into the yard when he heard the little wild cat meowing in the yard. He walked over, asked someone to feed the cat, sat on the corridor, and stroked the kitten's head.
"My lord, be careful that it scratches you again." The servant hurriedly said.
In the past few years, Wen Yijin's temperament has become more and more gentle, and the servants are no longer walking on eggshells as before.
"It's okay, this stray cat is hard to train, it won't be given food, and it won't be petted." Wen Yijin laughed.
He just likes this wild nature.
After the little orange cat had a bite to eat, it arched Wen Yijin's palm and turned over in the sun. Not long after, the housekeeper hurried across the corridor, arrived in front of Wen Yijin, and handed him a piece of letter paper.
"My lord, this is the news."
The letter contained some information, including Yin Xuanye's movements after returning to Beijing. The letter said that Yin Xuanye had brought back a woman, who was now being placed in a house in the east of the city.
woman?He had never heard Yin Xuanye mention it.
but……
It is the existence of such a person.
This person should be an affair with Yin Xuanye. When Yin Xuanye went out to fight, he was injured and trapped in the enemy camp. It was the woman who rescued him. The woman was originally a prisoner of the enemy camp. She rescued Yin Xuanye. Yin Xuanye Ye later also protected her and brought her back to the palace.
The original five-year campaign has turned into three years. I don't know if the woman is still the original woman.
In the next few days, Wen Yijin was often called into the palace by Yin Xuanye.
After being alone with Yin Xuanye for a few days, Wen Yijin felt that he did not have the tendency to become a "tyrant". Although his handling of some matters was immature and his methods were too brutal, they were not cruel and bloody.
There is still room for improvement in the way of governing the country and the method of balancing ministers. Yin Xuanye has his own opinions and has the appearance of a wise emperor. Wen Yijin has a tendency to gradually hand over the affairs of the court to him.
And the ministers in the court know the wind direction best. Recently, Wen Yijinfang has gradually been in a weak position in front of Yin Xuanye. Most of the time, the person who makes decisions is Yin Xuanye, and Wen Yijin only assists one or two.
It's not that Yin Xuanye didn't feel Wen Yijin's actions, as if he was... dying to leave alone.
Yin Xuanye asked Doctor Li who usually treated Wen Yijin, and Doctor Li said that his body could not be healed but could only be adjusted.
When he thought that this person would die someday, his heart seemed to be blocked by something, hanging in the air, unable to get up or down, and breathing was dull.
Wen Yijin didn't know Yin Xuanye's worries, but felt that the development of the matter was moving towards the good step by step.
There was a lot of rain a few days before and after Qingming, and from this afternoon, the sky became gloomy. Wen Yijin was reading and teasing cats in the mansion, when someone from outside reported that His Majesty was coming.
This trip came suddenly, without warning, and the mansion didn't have time to prepare anything, Wen Yijin put down the scroll in her hand, washed her hands, and went back to her room to change clothes.
The servants took the clean clothes and put them in the room.Wen Yijin took off her coat, and when she was changing, she heard noises from outside.
The two servant girls stood waiting at the door, and they were startled when they saw Yin Xuanye.
"Your Majesty, the prince is still changing clothes inside."
Yin Xuanye saw the flowers blooming in the yard and asked, "When were those flowers planted?"
"Return to Your Majesty, this flower has been planted in the prince's yard all the time."
Yin Xuanye took a second look with interest, and he recognized several of them, which were the petals that Wen Yijin once gave him.
The door opened with a "squeak", Yin Xuanye turned around, and saw Wen Yijin, dressed in a moon-white robe, as warm as jade, with handsome and gentle eyebrows and eyes, and with a little bit of smile in his eyes, when he was staring at someone , It makes people feel hot.
"Your Majesty, why are you so busy today that you came here?"
Yin Xuanye turned around from his stupefaction, lightly twirled the finger on the thumb with his fingertips, and said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Why, I'm fine, so I can't come?"
His face was extremely alluring. When he was not smiling, he looked stern and indifferent when he was not smiling. This smile was like plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
The maids at the side all blushed.
Wen Yijin couldn't help chuckling, feeling that Yin Xuanye, who had grown up, could easily please the girl, "I have asked my servants to prepare tea, your Majesty, would you like to taste it?"
"Alright, how about letting Gu taste the tea from the Prince Regent's mansion."
Wen Yijin stepped out of the room, and walked into the hall with Yin Xuanye side by side. The two sat down. Not long after, a servant brought tea, and they went in and out quietly. Yin Xuanye took a sip of the tea, "How is your health recently?" ?”
"Everything is fine." Wen Yijin said.
"Every time Gu asks you, you always say that." Yin Xuanye took a sip of tea.
"It's your majesty's concern, but it's the minister's fault." Wen Yijin laughed.
"That's all." Yin Xuanye waved his hand, "I'm here today, I have business to find you."
Wen Yijin: "Speak, Your Majesty."
Yin Xuanye waved his hand, summoned the eunuch at the side, and said, "Bring me in."
After a while, a masked woman came in led by the eunuch.
The woman was dressed in white, and her face was also covered with a layer of white gauze. It was hazy, and the lower half of her face could not be seen clearly, but judging from her protruding eyebrows, she was a beauty, with a pair of upturned eyes that were hesitant to speak, The pupils are clear.
After she saluted, her figure was slim and her voice was clear and soft. Wen Yijin's eyes lingered on the woman for a moment, then moved away again.
Today's dynasties have open folk customs, and there are not so many restraints on women, but they still need to wear a veil to cover their true faces when traveling.
"Who is this?" He looked at Yin Xuanye.
"This is the woman I brought back from the border." Yin Xuanye said, "She is skilled in medicine. I just want to ask her to show you."
Wen Yijin: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but there is no cure for my illness."
It seems that a few days ago, the letter said that the woman Yin Xuanye brought back was her.
Wen Yijin looked at her twice more, so as not to be abrupt, and lowered her eyes to the ground. Yin Xuanye noticed his expression and movements, and the smile on the corners of her lips narrowed a bit.
"It doesn't hurt to look at it," he said.
The woman stepped forward, bowed and said softly: "Please also ask the prince to give his hand to the concubine."
"Thank you." Wen Yijin nodded and stretched out her right hand.
The woman checked his pulse on his wrist for a moment, Yin Xuanye drank several cups of tea in this moment.
The woman let go of Wen Yijin's hand, sighed, and looked at Yin Xuanye hesitantly, "Your Majesty, this concubine is incompetent, and the prince's illness is obviously a long-term illness—but I can take care of myself." Son, to make adjustments for the prince."
Yin Xuanye held the cup tightly, his fingertips turned white.
The woman also said: "Using this medicine for a long time, it will definitely improve, and by then, the concubine can proceed to the next step of diagnosis and treatment."
Hearing her saying that it was not hopeless, Yin Xuanye's eyes lit up a little, and he ordered her to prescribe a prescription, but the woman said that she still needed to do some research, so she left first.
"What's this girl's name?" Wen Yijin asked.
Yin Xuanye tightened his hand holding the cup, "What? Is Nagasawa interested?"
Wen Yijin heard what he meant, and said: "Your Majesty is joking, how can I be a burden to others with my body?"
"What's wrong with your body?" Yin Xuanye was displeased, and lowered his voice, "I will find someone to cure you, why do you say such self-deprecating words."
He lowered his face, but Wen Yijin was taken aback. The lowered Yin Xuanye, just like when he was usually in front of others, exuded a sense of oppression that made others' hearts jump.
Wen Yijin: "It's the minister who made a slip of the tongue, Your Majesty don't want to argue with me."
"However, your body is indeed not suitable for marrying a wife." Yin Xuanye said with little confidence, took a sip of water from the teacup, and asked tentatively, "What do you think? If you want to marry a wife, I will give it to you alone." marriage."
"For the time being, there is no rush to marry a wife. When His Majesty no longer needs the minister, the minister will think about it."
"Gu needs you." Yin Xuanye looked at him with dark eyes, "Gu wants you to stay by Gu's side to help."
"It's my honor."
The two of them sat in this hall for a while, when the wind and rain came unexpectedly outside, and the clear rain water bent the young leaves on the branches and fell in a patter.
Yin Xuanye stood at the door, watching the torrential rain, his eyes were full of satisfaction, this was the expected timely rain.
"It's getting late." Wen Yijin stood beside him, "It seems that the rain will not stop, Your Majesty can rest here tonight."
"What the regent said is true." Yin Xuanye said, and when Wen Yijin was about to order his servants, he said, "There is no need to ask someone to prepare the room, I just make do with you tonight."
"This……"
"It's only one night, the regent is unwilling?"
"No, it's just that I'm afraid that His Majesty will be frozen."
"I'm not afraid of being alone."
Wen Yijin: "..."
hiss……
【076, don't you feel that something is wrong with him? 】
The system said: [Hasn't he always been so clingy to you? 】
That's true, but Wen Yijin felt that Yin Xuanye was clingier than before, but he didn't get annoyed.
At night, candles were lit in the mansion. After Wen Yijin took a bath, with her black hair scattered behind her back, she lay on the beauty's couch, holding a book in her hand, and looked at it with her head propped up. Her wrist bones protruded, and the candlelight shone on his face. It added a bit of laziness to him.
Not long after, Yin Xuanye came over wearing loose obscene clothes. Wen Yijin was absorbed in reading a book, and when he realized it, Yin Xuanye had already bent over to read the book in his hand, and all the shadows fell on Wen Yijin.
"What book are you reading?"
"Just some essays." Wen Yijin closed the book, "Are you going to sleep?"
Wen Yijin looked up and saw that his black hair was scattered on his shoulders, and a few strands stuck to his neck which was soaked in water, and got into his obscene clothes. He didn't bring any clothes, and he was wearing Wen Yijin's white obscene clothes. He was still smaller than Wen Yijin, and the clothes on him looked a little loose.
Wen Yijin raised his hand, and with his fingertips, pulled out the few strands of hair from his neckline. The black hair slipped down from between his fingers. Yin Xuanye moved forward a little, and the strands of hair swept over Wen Yijin's neck. face.
"Go to bed and rest, don't catch a cold." Wen Yijin withdrew her hand and said.
"Come and sleep too, you can't sleep alone," Yin Xuanye said.
"it is good."
He put the book aside and got off the beauty couch. After Yin Xuanye went to bed first, he blew out the candle and went to bed in the dark. As soon as he got to the bed, he tripped over his shoes and fell forward.
A pair of hands stretched out to catch him just right, and he knelt on the side of the bed with one knee bent, using the strength of that hand to stabilize his figure.
In the quiet night, Wen Yijin heard the beating of his heart. He raised his head, the tip of his nose brushed against Yin Xuanye's skirt, and he could still feel the tight muscle lines of his arms under his palms.
"Be careful." Yin Xuanye's voice came from above him, a little hoarse.
Wen Yijin smiled and said, "It's a bit old-sighted."
"Nonsense, how old are you?" Yin Xuanye said.
After a while of rustling, Wen Yijin went to bed, he lifted a corner of the quilt to cover his body, and said: "The others are at my age, how old is the child?"
Yin Xuanye: "..."
He didn't answer this sentence, and Wen Yijin didn't feel anything. He lay on the bed and sighed softly, "Go to sleep."
"I can't sleep alone." Yin Xuanye turned sideways to Wen Yijin and said, "Why don't you tell Gu Gu something interesting."
He was as close as if the two had never been separated in the past three years, and he still had the same temperament as before.
……
In the middle of the night, the room returned to calm. The pitch-black environment seemed to be filthy enough to swallow everything. When Wen Yijin woke up, she felt that Yin Xuanye was restless.
He didn't know when he hugged Yin Xuanye into his arms again, and Yin Xuanye was in his arms, trembling thinly, his breathing was trembling, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his mouth was also raving.
"Enemy attack..."
Wen Yijin paused for a moment when he heard the raving words in his mouth.
He patted Yin Xuanye's shoulder lightly, feeling his muscles tense, and patted Yin Xuanye's back comfortingly.
At the border, Yin Xuanye may have suffered a lot, but he didn't say a word to him.
This night, Yin Xuanye slept comfortably for a long time. When he woke up, he felt relaxed. When he opened his eyes and saw Wen Yijin's face, he didn't move. When Wen Yijin was about to open his eyes, he closed them again. squinted.
"Your Majesty." Wen Yijin called Yin Xuanye after waking up.
Only then did Yin Xuanye act as if he had just woken up, and opened his eyes sleepily.
"It's time to get up." Wen Yijin said.
"Is it safe to sleep alone last night?" Yin Xuanye asked.
Wen Yijin: "Your Majesty had a nightmare last night."
"Nightmare?" Yin Xuanye paused, "What did Gu say?"
"Your Majesty forgot?"
"You tell Gu to listen."
"Since you've forgotten, don't think about it."
As he spoke, he lifted the quilt and got up, his black hair was loose, soft and flowing.
Yin Xuanye looked at his back, moved his fingertips slightly, and he followed suit. When putting on his clothes, he turned around with the belt and handed it to Wen Yijin. Wen Yijin took a look, then took the belt and tied it on him.
He passed Yin Xuanye's arms through Yin Xuanye's waist. Yin Xuanye raised his eyes and saw his lightly drooping eyelashes, under the high bridge of his nose, his light-colored lips were lightly pursed, with a natural smile on his lips, gentle but Another sense of distance.
In Yin Xuanye's eyes, he was like the bright moon in the sky, bright and beautiful, and even though he was far away, he would not know what was in his heart.
This feeling is sometimes sweet and sometimes sad.
When will he look at him without looking at him?
Yin Xuanye's eyelids drooped, covering the darkness in his pupils.
Wen Yijin fastened the belt for him, looking at his thin waist, he only knew that his waist and abdomen were strong and tough, but it was the first time he noticed that Yin Xuanye's waist was so slender, that he never deliberately touched it with his fingertips. Touched, but it was inevitable through the clothes, and occasionally scratched his waist, and he adjusted the belt to a suitable tightness.
"Okay." He let go of his hand.
"Gu also help you." Yin Xuanye said in an erratic voice.
Wen Yijin: "I can do it myself."
Yin Xuanye: "..."
And it was indeed as Wen Yijin expected——
Yin Xuanye returned from this expedition with a great victory, and his reputation has been improved. During the three years of fighting abroad, he has also cultivated many confidantes.
After returning to the court, the first time he went to the court was to give promotions and rewards to the soldiers who had made meritorious service this time.

"The minister has no other intentions."

"how?"
"The taste is just right, sweet and delicious." Wen Yijin smiled, "Why did you only ask someone to make a bowl?"
"I don't like to eat." Yin Xuanye said.
Wen Yijin took a few mouthfuls, cleared her mouth with the teacup, and then continued to talk about business.
After half an hour, he retired from the hall.
In the room, Yin Xuanye was sitting, not interested in dealing with the memorial. He had a headache from reading the draft papers. He tapped on the table with his fingertips. His eyes swept over the half-bowl of white fungus pear soup at the corner of the table, and he pursed his lower lip. .
Wen Yijin returned to the mansion.
On the corridor in the courtyard, there was a small cage. The cage was not closed. A little orange cat was squatting inside and licking the hair on its body. There was a white cloth wrapped around its legs. It was raining a few days ago, and Wen Yijin's second I picked it up in the yard one day, and the kitten broke its leg.
When he came back, he just walked into the yard when he heard the little wild cat meowing in the yard. He walked over, asked someone to feed the cat, sat on the corridor, and stroked the kitten's head.
"My lord, be careful that it scratches you again." The servant hurriedly said.
In the past few years, Wen Yijin's temperament has become more and more gentle, and the servants are no longer walking on eggshells as before.
"It's okay, this stray cat is hard to train, it won't be given food, and it won't be petted." Wen Yijin laughed.
He just likes this wild nature.
After the little orange cat had a bite to eat, it arched Wen Yijin's palm and turned over in the sun. Not long after, the housekeeper hurried across the corridor, arrived in front of Wen Yijin, and handed him a piece of letter paper.
"My lord, this is the news."
The letter contained some information, including Yin Xuanye's movements after returning to Beijing. The letter said that Yin Xuanye had brought back a woman, who was now being placed in a house in the east of the city.
woman?He had never heard Yin Xuanye mention it.
but……
It is the existence of such a person.
This person should be an affair with Yin Xuanye. When Yin Xuanye went out to fight, he was injured and trapped in the enemy camp. It was the woman who rescued him. The woman was originally a prisoner of the enemy camp. She rescued Yin Xuanye. Yin Xuanye Ye later also protected her and brought her back to the palace.
The original five-year campaign has turned into three years. I don't know if the woman is still the original woman.
In the next few days, Wen Yijin was often called into the palace by Yin Xuanye.
After being alone with Yin Xuanye for a few days, Wen Yijin felt that he did not have the tendency to become a "tyrant". Although his handling of some matters was immature and his methods were too brutal, they were not cruel and bloody.
There is still room for improvement in the way of governing the country and the method of balancing ministers. Yin Xuanye has his own opinions and has the appearance of a wise emperor. Wen Yijin has a tendency to gradually hand over the affairs of the court to him.
And the ministers in the court know the wind direction best. Recently, Wen Yijinfang has gradually been in a weak position in front of Yin Xuanye. Most of the time, the person who makes decisions is Yin Xuanye, and Wen Yijin only assists one or two.
It's not that Yin Xuanye didn't feel Wen Yijin's actions, as if he was... dying to leave alone.
Yin Xuanye asked Doctor Li who usually treated Wen Yijin, and Doctor Li said that his body could not be healed but could only be adjusted.
When he thought that this person would die someday, his heart seemed to be blocked by something, hanging in the air, unable to get up or down, and breathing was dull.
Wen Yijin didn't know Yin Xuanye's worries, but felt that the development of the matter was moving towards the good step by step.
There was a lot of rain a few days before and after Qingming, and from this afternoon, the sky became gloomy. Wen Yijin was reading and teasing cats in the mansion, when someone from outside reported that His Majesty was coming.
This trip came suddenly, without warning, and the mansion didn't have time to prepare anything, Wen Yijin put down the scroll in her hand, washed her hands, and went back to her room to change clothes.
The servants took the clean clothes and put them in the room.Wen Yijin took off her coat, and when she was changing, she heard noises from outside.
The two servant girls stood waiting at the door, and they were startled when they saw Yin Xuanye.
"Your Majesty, the prince is still changing clothes inside."
Yin Xuanye saw the flowers blooming in the yard and asked, "When were those flowers planted?"
"Return to Your Majesty, this flower has been planted in the prince's yard all the time."
Yin Xuanye took a second look with interest, and he recognized several of them, which were the petals that Wen Yijin once gave him.
The door opened with a "squeak", Yin Xuanye turned around, and saw Wen Yijin, dressed in a moon-white robe, as warm as jade, with handsome and gentle eyebrows and eyes, and with a little bit of smile in his eyes, when he was staring at someone , It makes people feel hot.
"Your Majesty, why are you so busy today that you came here?"
Yin Xuanye turned around from his stupefaction, lightly twirled the finger on the thumb with his fingertips, and said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Why, I'm fine, so I can't come?"
His face was extremely alluring. When he was not smiling, he looked stern and indifferent when he was not smiling. This smile was like plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
The maids at the side all blushed.
Wen Yijin couldn't help chuckling, feeling that Yin Xuanye, who had grown up, could easily please the girl, "I have asked my servants to prepare tea, your Majesty, would you like to taste it?"
"Alright, how about letting Gu taste the tea from the Prince Regent's mansion."
Wen Yijin stepped out of the room, and walked into the hall with Yin Xuanye side by side. The two sat down. Not long after, a servant brought tea, and they went in and out quietly. Yin Xuanye took a sip of the tea, "How is your health recently?" ?”
"Everything is fine." Wen Yijin said.
"Every time Gu asks you, you always say that." Yin Xuanye took a sip of tea.
"It's your majesty's concern, but it's the minister's fault." Wen Yijin laughed.
"That's all." Yin Xuanye waved his hand, "I'm here today, I have business to find you."
Wen Yijin: "Speak, Your Majesty."
Yin Xuanye waved his hand, summoned the eunuch at the side, and said, "Bring me in."
After a while, a masked woman came in led by the eunuch.
The woman was dressed in white, and her face was also covered with a layer of white gauze. It was hazy, and the lower half of her face could not be seen clearly, but judging from her protruding eyebrows, she was a beauty, with a pair of upturned eyes that were hesitant to speak, The pupils are clear.
After she saluted, her figure was slim and her voice was clear and soft. Wen Yijin's eyes lingered on the woman for a moment, then moved away again.
Today's dynasties have open folk customs, and there are not so many restraints on women, but they still need to wear a veil to cover their true faces when traveling.
"Who is this?" He looked at Yin Xuanye.
"This is the woman I brought back from the border." Yin Xuanye said, "She is skilled in medicine. I just want to ask her to show you."
Wen Yijin: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but there is no cure for my illness."
It seems that a few days ago, the letter said that the woman Yin Xuanye brought back was her.
Wen Yijin looked at her twice more, so as not to be abrupt, and lowered her eyes to the ground. Yin Xuanye noticed his expression and movements, and the smile on the corners of her lips narrowed a bit.
"It doesn't hurt to look at it," he said.
The woman stepped forward, bowed and said softly: "Please also ask the prince to give his hand to the concubine."
"Thank you." Wen Yijin nodded and stretched out her right hand.
The woman checked his pulse on his wrist for a moment, Yin Xuanye drank several cups of tea in this moment.
The woman let go of Wen Yijin's hand, sighed, and looked at Yin Xuanye hesitantly, "Your Majesty, this concubine is incompetent, and the prince's illness is obviously a long-term illness—but I can take care of myself." Son, to make adjustments for the prince."
Yin Xuanye held the cup tightly, his fingertips turned white.
The woman also said: "Using this medicine for a long time, it will definitely improve, and by then, the concubine can proceed to the next step of diagnosis and treatment."
Hearing her saying that it was not hopeless, Yin Xuanye's eyes lit up a little, and he ordered her to prescribe a prescription, but the woman said that she still needed to do some research, so she left first.
"What's this girl's name?" Wen Yijin asked.
Yin Xuanye tightened his hand holding the cup, "What? Is Nagasawa interested?"
Wen Yijin heard what he meant, and said: "Your Majesty is joking, how can I be a burden to others with my body?"
"What's wrong with your body?" Yin Xuanye was displeased, and lowered his voice, "I will find someone to cure you, why do you say such self-deprecating words."
He lowered his face, but Wen Yijin was taken aback. The lowered Yin Xuanye, just like when he was usually in front of others, exuded a sense of oppression that made others' hearts jump.
Wen Yijin: "It's the minister who made a slip of the tongue, Your Majesty don't want to argue with me."
"However, your body is indeed not suitable for marrying a wife." Yin Xuanye said with little confidence, took a sip of water from the teacup, and asked tentatively, "What do you think? If you want to marry a wife, I will give it to you alone." marriage."
"For the time being, there is no rush to marry a wife. When His Majesty no longer needs the minister, the minister will think about it."
"Gu needs you." Yin Xuanye looked at him with dark eyes, "Gu wants you to stay by Gu's side to help."
"It's my honor."
The two of them sat in this hall for a while, when the wind and rain came unexpectedly outside, and the clear rain water bent the young leaves on the branches and fell in a patter.
Yin Xuanye stood at the door, watching the torrential rain, his eyes were full of satisfaction, this was the expected timely rain.
"It's getting late." Wen Yijin stood beside him, "It seems that the rain will not stop, Your Majesty can rest here tonight."
"What the regent said is true." Yin Xuanye said, and when Wen Yijin was about to order his servants, he said, "There is no need to ask someone to prepare the room, I just make do with you tonight."
"This……"
"It's only one night, the regent is unwilling?"
"No, it's just that I'm afraid that His Majesty will be frozen."
"I'm not afraid of being alone."
Wen Yijin: "..."
hiss……
【076, don't you feel that something is wrong with him? 】
The system said: [Hasn't he always been so clingy to you? 】
That's true, but Wen Yijin felt that Yin Xuanye was clingier than before, but he didn't get annoyed.
At night, candles were lit in the mansion. After Wen Yijin took a bath, with her black hair scattered behind her back, she lay on the beauty's couch, holding a book in her hand, and looked at it with her head propped up. Her wrist bones protruded, and the candlelight shone on his face. It added a bit of laziness to him.
Not long after, Yin Xuanye came over wearing loose obscene clothes. Wen Yijin was absorbed in reading a book, and when he realized it, Yin Xuanye had already bent over to read the book in his hand, and all the shadows fell on Wen Yijin.
"What book are you reading?"
"Just some essays." Wen Yijin closed the book, "Are you going to sleep?"
Wen Yijin looked up and saw that his black hair was scattered on his shoulders, and a few strands stuck to his neck which was soaked in water, and got into his obscene clothes. He didn't bring any clothes, and he was wearing Wen Yijin's white obscene clothes. He was still smaller than Wen Yijin, and the clothes on him looked a little loose.
Wen Yijin raised his hand, and with his fingertips, pulled out the few strands of hair from his neckline. The black hair slipped down from between his fingers. Yin Xuanye moved forward a little, and the strands of hair swept over Wen Yijin's neck. face.
"Go to bed and rest, don't catch a cold." Wen Yijin withdrew her hand and said.
"Come and sleep too, you can't sleep alone," Yin Xuanye said.
"it is good."
He put the book aside and got off the beauty couch. After Yin Xuanye went to bed first, he blew out the candle and went to bed in the dark. As soon as he got to the bed, he tripped over his shoes and fell forward.
A pair of hands stretched out to catch him just right, and he knelt on the side of the bed with one knee bent, using the strength of that hand to stabilize his figure.
In the quiet night, Wen Yijin heard the beating of his heart. He raised his head, the tip of his nose brushed against Yin Xuanye's skirt, and he could still feel the tight muscle lines of his arms under his palms.
"Be careful." Yin Xuanye's voice came from above him, a little hoarse.
Wen Yijin smiled and said, "It's a bit old-sighted."
"Nonsense, how old are you?" Yin Xuanye said.
After a while of rustling, Wen Yijin went to bed, he lifted a corner of the quilt to cover his body, and said: "The others are at my age, how old is the child?"
Yin Xuanye: "..."
He didn't answer this sentence, and Wen Yijin didn't feel anything. He lay on the bed and sighed softly, "Go to sleep."
"I can't sleep alone." Yin Xuanye turned sideways to Wen Yijin and said, "Why don't you tell Gu Gu something interesting."
He was as close as if the two had never been separated in the past three years, and he still had the same temperament as before.
……
In the middle of the night, the room returned to calm. The pitch-black environment seemed to be filthy enough to swallow everything. When Wen Yijin woke up, she felt that Yin Xuanye was restless.
He didn't know when he hugged Yin Xuanye into his arms again, and Yin Xuanye was in his arms, trembling thinly, his breathing was trembling, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his mouth was also raving.
"Enemy attack..."
Wen Yijin paused for a moment when he heard the raving words in his mouth.
He patted Yin Xuanye's shoulder lightly, feeling his muscles tense, and patted Yin Xuanye's back comfortingly.
At the border, Yin Xuanye may have suffered a lot, but he didn't say a word to him.
This night, Yin Xuanye slept comfortably for a long time. When he woke up, he felt relaxed. When he opened his eyes and saw Wen Yijin's face, he didn't move. When Wen Yijin was about to open his eyes, he closed them again. squinted.
"Your Majesty." Wen Yijin called Yin Xuanye after waking up.
Only then did Yin Xuanye act as if he had just woken up, and opened his eyes sleepily.
"It's time to get up." Wen Yijin said.
"Is it safe to sleep alone last night?" Yin Xuanye asked.
Wen Yijin: "Your Majesty had a nightmare last night."
"Nightmare?" Yin Xuanye paused, "What did Gu say?"
"Your Majesty forgot?"
"You tell Gu to listen."
"Since you've forgotten, don't think about it."
As he spoke, he lifted the quilt and got up, his black hair was loose, soft and flowing.
Yin Xuanye looked at his back, moved his fingertips slightly, and he followed suit. When putting on his clothes, he turned around with the belt and handed it to Wen Yijin. Wen Yijin took a look, then took the belt and tied it on him.
He passed Yin Xuanye's arms through Yin Xuanye's waist. Yin Xuanye raised his eyes and saw his lightly drooping eyelashes, under the high bridge of his nose, his light-colored lips were lightly pursed, with a natural smile on his lips, gentle but Another sense of distance.
In Yin Xuanye's eyes, he was like the bright moon in the sky, bright and beautiful, and even though he was far away, he would not know what was in his heart.
This feeling is sometimes sweet and sometimes sad.
When will he look at him without looking at him?
Yin Xuanye's eyelids drooped, covering the darkness in his pupils.
Wen Yijin fastened the belt for him, looking at his thin waist, he only knew that his waist and abdomen were strong and tough, but it was the first time he noticed that Yin Xuanye's waist was so slender, that he never deliberately touched it with his fingertips. Touched, but it was inevitable through the clothes, and occasionally scratched his waist, and he adjusted the belt to a suitable tightness.
"Okay." He let go of his hand.
"Gu also help you." Yin Xuanye said in an erratic voice.
Wen Yijin: "I can do it myself."
Yin Xuanye: "..."
