Oh, and hand warmers.

Didn't he... have it?

Xiao Yi: "Chirp," Boss, don't you have a hand warmer?

"Um."

This is really a great skill.

Xiao Xu's heart couldn't help but beat wildly at this moment. When he thought that this animal gave him the only hand warmer and he could only soak in water to keep away the cold, he couldn't help but want to kiss him.

etc…

Is it infected?

Do you always think about kissing?

Definitely.

The boss ignored the bird with its little head hanging down. After soaking it for a while, he lifted it up and wiped the water droplets with a fine cloth.

After changing clothes.

Ana Shen lay on the bed as usual, holding a book and reading.

Xiao Xu, who was quietly watching him complete everything, was nestled in the side of his neck and fell asleep.

…

Winter goes and spring comes.

A year later, Shen Yanjin was promoted two levels in a row, and now he no longer had to take care of the case.

Apart from attending court, he was mostly idle.

Xiao Xu was also happy that he was free. Being too busy would ruin his health. Besides, he was still growing up and could not be under too much pressure.

A lot happened this year.

After the New Year, Shen Junjue of the Shen Mansion was imprisoned in the Sky Prison for raping a woman. He was imprisoned for more than a month. The woman accepted the bribe and did not pursue the matter further.

But who in the capital doesn't know that Mr. Shen from the Shen Mansion is impotent?

Obviously he was blackmailed.

However, there are some things that cannot be said. It’s okay to talk about it in private, but who dares to say openly that Shen Junjue is impotent?

Perhaps there is someone who dares to say that, and that person is... Shen Yanjin.

After all, the news about Shen Junjue's impotence came from him.

Who wouldn't admire a man who dares to speak against even Lao Tzu? Not to mention that he is recognized by everyone as the reincarnation of a god, people believe whatever he says.

At this time, no one understood that this was a kind of herd mentality and star chasing.

However, what surprised Xiao Xu the most was the arranged marriage between Princess Cananna and Crown Prince Duan Yu.

Duan Yu was the eldest son of the eldest prince. After the new year, he was made the crown prince by the old emperor. The prince's party made a fuss for a long time, but it was useless. The old emperor insisted on making him the crown prince, and no one could stop him.

Even if the prince's party came to find Xiao Xu, it would be of no avail.

In fact, Xiao Xu didn't want to care about these miscellaneous matters. Since Cananna burned down her main courtyard, she had not done anything out of line. She couldn't find any handle on her, so she really couldn't do anything to the princess.

Besides, after a few months of being together, she felt like she was being spied on.

Anyway, the crown prince will not have children, so there is no big problem in making the eldest prince's legitimate son the crown prince.

As long as she resigns from the position of imperial preceptor before the crown prince abdicates, wouldn't everyone be happy?

Who wants to occupy the position of national teacher and clean up the emperor's mess all day long?

The first time she met Duan Yu was when he asked the old emperor to play chess.

Apart from anything else, he really looks like the old emperor, at least 60% to 70%. No wonder the old emperor made him the crown prince. Just based on his looks, he must be his legitimate grandson.

At that time, she looked at him a few times intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that if the old emperor had not appointed him as the crown prince, she probably would not have seen him.

Duan Yu has a calm personality, but due to his young age, he tends to be more naive. When playing chess with the old emperor, he would occasionally show an expression of "I see, that's how it is", or perhaps nod shyly, which undoubtedly won the favor of the old emperor.

Over time, she met Duan Yu more often, from once every few days to once a day, and the old emperor would sometimes summon him to join him when he served a meal.
