Having worked together for several years, Lin En was worried that Wu Jianfeng might not understand things and might go astray.
Out of personal consideration, I still offered a reminder.
However, his good intentions made Wu Jianfeng feel extremely humiliated.
He was the younger brother of a great general, born into a prestigious family. Compared to a lowly eunuch, his status was far superior. Hearing Lynn speak of him like this, he thought Lynn was making a joke of him.
"I don't need your crocodile tears." After saying that, Wu Jianfeng took a step back, widening the distance between himself and Lin En.
His stubbornness left Lynn feeling helpless.
If kind advice fails to yield results, then one can only let things take their course.
When Xi Xizhi and An Honghan came out of the bath, there were no palace maids or eunuchs left in the Panlong Palace.
An Honghan held a handkerchief in his hand and dried Xi Xizhi's hair.
Meanwhile, the child who should have been serving An Honghan was brazenly enjoying An Honghan's services, with a piece of osmanthus cake in his mouth, happily munching on it.
Seeing the child's expression, An Honghan couldn't help but tease him. He tapped the child's forehead with his finger and said meaningfully, "You really should enjoy yourself. You'll have your share of trouble tomorrow morning. From now on, sleeping in late will be impossible."
The moment Xi Xizhi mentioned sleeping in late, her face fell.
The osmanthus cake in my mouth also became tasteless.
The little brain racked its brains for a solution. Sleeping is the most important thing in life, how can it be given up so easily!
When she first arrived in the other world, Xi Xizhi cultivated diligently from dawn till dusk in order to have the ability to protect herself.
But does it work?
Does it work?
They're still completely controlled by someone!
Feeling that she could still try, Xi Xizhi racked her brains to come up with a reason.
"How about we go for a run in the evening? An Honghan, think about it, not only can we watch the sunset then, but we can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way."
Unable to dissuade An Honghan, Xi Xizhi simply changed her approach and went for a run at a different time, which was much better than wasting time sleeping.
An Honghan nodded seriously, seemingly agreeing with these words.
Just when Xi Xizhi thought he would change his mind, he spoke up and said, "You're right. Since we're going to exercise, running in the morning isn't enough. We should also run in the evening, twice a day. This will help improve your physical strength and promote your cultivation."
The pastries in Xi Xizhi's hands fell to the ground with a clatter...
He was stunned by An Honghan's words.
Running in the morning isn't enough, you have to run again in the evening?!
Are you trying to stop people from speaking?!
I wish she hadn't tried to argue!
This is what they call... reaping what you sow!
An Honghan is definitely deliberately twisting her meaning!
Running around the Panlong Hall once would be fatal.
If he were to run again in the evening, Xi Xizhi would not want to live just thinking about it.
"Can I refuse?" Xi Xizhi collapsed onto the dragon bed, utterly despondent, staring blankly at the rafters, continuing to lament for herself!
As expected, trying to outsmart An Honghan only led to their own downfall.
Thinking that she would have to run around Panlong Palace every morning and evening tomorrow, Xi Xizhi's legs felt a little weak with fear.
"No." An Honghan refused outright, as if deliberately trying to torment Xi Xizhi's consciousness. He only spoke half of his sentence, leaving Xi Xizhi with endless imagination. "Get a good rest tonight, tomorrow..."
Even though An Honghan didn't continue, Xi Xizhi guessed what he was going to say next.
A mix of frustrations welled up inside me, and I felt like banging my head against a wall to express my annoyance.
To vent her emotions, Xi Xizhi rolled over in bed, then hugged the quilt and rolled to the furthest point from An Honghan to lie down.
Even in her sleep, Xi Xizhi was preoccupied with this matter, cursing An Honghan, the heartless master, while her teeth itched and she felt sorry for her legs, which were about to go limp.
I tossed and turned, my brow furrowed, and didn't get a good night's sleep.
How could An Honghan, who shared the same bed with him, not know this?
However, when necessary, he has no choice but to be ruthless.
If a moment of weakness leads to Xi Xizhi's increasingly lazy nature becoming even more difficult to control, what will happen if Xi Xizhi is in danger in the future and unable to protect herself?
Seeing the blanket that a child had accidentally kicked off, in the darkness, An Honghan slowly covered the child with the blanket again, using the moonlight streaming in through the window.
The night can be long or short.
As the morning sun shines down in rays, a new chapter begins.
Xi Xizhi tossed and turned until the early hours of the morning before finally falling asleep.
I had just fallen asleep when a series of noises came from outside.
Xi Xizhi's first reaction was to cover her ears with her hands, pull the quilt over herself completely, and crawl into bed to continue sleeping.
Lin En and the other eunuchs and palace maids had already been busy preparing things, including jade basins for washing, jade crowns for tying up hair, and the clothes His Majesty would wear today.
Since His Majesty had said yesterday that he would take Miss Xi for morning exercises, the palace maids and eunuchs were afraid of messing things up, so they got up earlier than usual and did their best to prepare everything.
There was still some time before the morning court session, so An Honghan did not put on his dragon robe, but instead changed into a loose blue robe.
This robe is quite cool to wear, making it perfect for running.
"Your Majesty, do you think we should wake Miss Xi?" Lin En asked immediately after the palace maid finished dressing An Honghan.
Without His Majesty's decree, even if Lin En had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to wake Miss Xi.
Who doesn't know that Miss Xi is His Majesty's darling? If His Majesty changes his mind and wants Miss Xi to continue sleeping, Lin En will surely lose his head if he wakes her up.
An Honghan turned his head to look at the golden warm tent. On the large dragon bed, there was a high arch in the quilt.
Just as Lin En thought An Honghan would let the child sleep in, An Honghan took a step and slowly walked over.
"Aren't you getting up yet?"
His footsteps were steady, the clattering sound creating a sense of psychological pressure.
Xi Xizhi had excellent hearing, and upon hearing the footsteps, her heart trembled rhythmically.
They're here! They're here!
The boss who oppresses his workers has arrived!
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!
"I know you're awake. Have you forgotten what I said yesterday?" An Honghan sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted the golden quilt covering the child.
Xi Xizhi's small, bent-over body was suddenly revealed, her little face flushed red from being covered in the quilt for so long.
But its eyes were tightly closed, as if it were still fast asleep.
I'm trying to convince myself: I'm not awake yet! I'm still sleeping!
I absolutely refuse to get up and go for a run.
