If Lynn had the choice to faint, she would definitely faint without hesitation...
As the little girl raised her hand and slapped His Majesty's hand again, everyone sighed. It was bad enough that the little girl was stupid, but why did His Majesty also become confused?
The ear hidden in the black cloth twitched. Xi Xizhi hit it several times, each time with lighter force and with a better mood, until she calmed down and stopped. Throughout the whole process, she never thought about... for example, why a nameless anger suddenly surged in her heart.
An Honghan's eyes became incredibly deep, without a trace of anger. Even though the back of his hand was as red as if it had been smeared with cinnabar, his eyes were still full of doting as he raised his hand to rub the little girl's forehead.
"If you don't want me to see those women, I will try my best to avoid it."
A seemingly random sentence left Xi Xizhi bewildered, frozen in his arms.
After a long pause, as if testing An Honghan's nerves, Xi Xizhi asked, "Why don't I want you to see them? They are your concubines, aren't they?"
In common parlance, "妃子" (feizi) means concubine. Xi Xizhi believed that she was merely An Honghan's pet, so she shouldn't interfere in An Honghan's private life.
Speaking of his private life, Xi Xizhi suddenly remembered that An Honghan had been staying overnight at Panlong Palace for the past few months and had never spent the night in any of the other concubines' palaces.
For some unknown reason, Xi Xizhi poked An Honghan's chest with her finger, whispered mysteriously in his ear, her clear eyes sparkling, and said, "Do you have some unspeakable secret that's why you haven't been to the harem to spend the night?"
Xi Xizhi spoke with great sympathy and understanding.
Those pitying eyes immediately made An Honghan's face turn even darker with anger.
Seeing An Honghan's expression, Xi Xizhi thought she had guessed correctly and solemnly assured him, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
What could An Honghan say? What else could he say? Could a grown man like him be impotent in that area?
The eunuchs and maids around them, unaware of what the two were whispering about, all secretly glanced in their direction.
An Honghan didn't explain, and slapped Xi Xizhi on the buttocks.
Xi Xizhi continued to misunderstand, "You've gotten your revenge this time. Let's call it even. Don't seek revenge on me."
What words can describe An Honghan's feelings at this moment? They would say he wanted to crush this self-important little mink in front of him, but deep down, he couldn't bear to harm a single hair on her head.
This contradictory feeling appeared in him for the first time, and he could do nothing but sigh silently and offer some verbal threats.
All I could do was warn him: "Shut up."
When it was time to go to bed that night, Xi Xizhi, unusually, did not feel shy again and got into bed before An Honghan.
Why did Xi Xizhi let go? Wasn't it because a certain emperor was 'impotent'?
Because An Honghan suffered from a hidden ailment in that area, Xi Xizhi had no more reservations, and their lives immediately returned to how they used to interact.
Taking a bath in front of An Honghan, changing clothes in front of An Honghan, and running around naked in front of An Honghan!
Inside the Panlong Hall, all the palace maids and eunuchs had already left.
Inside the golden tent, two people, one big and one small, huddled together.
An Honghan placed his arm on Xi Xizhi's shoulder, as if he were holding her in his arms, his obsidian-like eyes gazing silently into the void.
One day, he'll make some little brat understand... whether he's capable or not.
However, let's keep things as they are for now. It's rare that someone has let down their guard and is willing to take a bath without needing to be threatened or coerced every day.
The next morning, Xi Xizhi's academic journey officially began.
Early in the morning, Xi Xizhi had just woken up when An Honghan forcibly put her clothes on.
Xi Xizhi was confused and let the other party do as they pleased.
The time for attending the morning court was roughly the same as the time for classes at the Imperial Tutor's Academy. An Honghan tidied up the little brat who couldn't dress herself, then called Lin En and instructed, "You don't need to come to the morning court with me today. Take her to the Imperial Tutor's Academy first."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lynn didn't understand why His Majesty was so kind to this child, and dared not ask.
Xi Xizhi kept her eyes half-closed, reluctant to open them, and lay half-reclined in An Honghan's arms, not getting up for a long time.
The black cloth covering her head was almost pushed off by her.
An Honghan covered her up again and patted her little bottom, "Get up, or you won't get up today and you won't get to eat Phoenix Golden Scale Fish."
Upon hearing this word, the ear hidden beneath the black cloth twitched violently.
It seems like it's been a long time since I've had fish, and so, someone's cravings have resurfaced.
Xi Xizhi immediately sat up straight, her jewel-like eyes sparkling, and said to An Honghan, "I want braised."
Because of the burns on her back, she has been eating very bland food lately. Every day she steams this and that, so bland that Xi Xizhi's mouth has lost its taste.
An Honghan considered it for a while, thinking that Xi Xizhi's injuries had almost healed, so making an exception to eat it once wouldn't cause too much of a problem.
"Then go to class obediently. When you come back, I'll have the imperial chef cook fish for you." An Honghan said expressionlessly, but in his heart, he was thinking that it wasn't a good idea for Xi Xizhi to eat fish every day.
There are only a few dozen fish in the entire Qingyuan Pond, not enough for her to eat for several meals. So, shouldn't someone be assigned to specifically take charge of the breeding of the Phoenix Golden Scale Fish?
An Honghan immediately ordered the eunuchs to carry out the plan, completely ignoring how much money and resources this idea would consume. If the breeding of Phoenix Golden Scale Fish was really that easy, the Kingdom of Luyun wouldn't have needed to send fish to them time and time again.
Lynn was a smart man. Listening to the two talking as if no one else was around, his mind was filled with suspicion. He had a lot of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask the people involved.
The little girl appeared out of nowhere, and His Majesty treated her like a precious treasure, afraid of dropping her if he held her in his hands, afraid of her melting if he kept her in his mouth...
The most puzzling thing is that this girl also loves to eat golden scale fish!
Don't they realize that ever since that phoenix-cloud sable came to the palace, it has monopolized all the fish in Qingyuan Pond?
Thinking that the Phoenix Sable had been missing for almost two days, Lynn couldn't help but worry. Even though it was just a pet, she had still grown attached to it after raising it for so long.
Therefore, Lynn felt that even if His Majesty had a 'new love,' he could not forget his 'old love.'
"Lin En, take her to the Imperial Tutor's Academy. If anything happens, immediately send someone to report to me." An Honghan coldly ordered, then turned to Xi Xizhi, "I will check your studies. If you dare to slack off, not only will you never be able to eat Phoenix Golden Scale Fish again, but I will also punish you severely."
