Seemingly having discovered something, An Honghan's gaze swept around the imperial study, his icy eyes sending chills down one's spine.
Everyone shuddered and immediately averted their gaze, no longer daring to look in Miss Xi's direction.
They were all well aware of His Majesty's possessiveness.
Once His Majesty has approved a person or thing, no one else is allowed to even glance at it.
"I've finished dealing with most of my official duties, so let's take a stroll in the Imperial Garden." Closing the memorial in his hand, An Honghan stepped out from behind his desk.
Xi Xizhi's ears twitched, and she looked uncertainly at the large stack of memorials on the desk. Was it really all done?
She clearly remembered that An Honghan had a habit of placing the completed memorials on the right side so that they wouldn't get mixed up when he dealt with them next time.
Xi Xizhi looked at the tall memorials on the left and expressed his doubt.
"Are you really done dealing with it?" Xi Xizhi stared at the stack of memorials, looking very puzzled.
An Hong sighed inwardly. How come he, who was usually so muddle-headed, suddenly had a flash of insight at this moment?
However, the fact that she noticed this habit of his shows that the ferret wasn't heartless and still cared about him.
An Honghan's mood immediately improved. Ignoring the memorials on his desk, he placed his hand on Xi Xizhi's shoulder and said, "I said... it's all done, so it's all done. Do you dare to have any objections?"
An Honghan's aura was already extremely intimidating, and now that he had put on a stern face, the cowardly child immediately changed his expression, shook his head at him, and shamelessly said, "Yes, yes, it's all done."
However, looking at the stack of memorials, Xi Xizhi had a feeling that An Honghan probably wanted to go out with her.
Having finally gotten such an opportunity, Xi Xizhi certainly wouldn't refuse.
He immediately shouted, "Let's go, let's go, let's go to the Imperial Garden right away!"
The two walked together on a path in the palace, which was paved with cobblestones and was a bit bumpy when stepping on them.
However, after walking for a while, you'll find the bumps and knocks quite interesting, just like massaging the soles of your feet.
Lin En and Wu Jianfeng always followed An Honghan closely, inseparable from him.
The two walked behind, keeping a distance from An Honghan, neither daring to get too close nor too far away.
If they were too close, they feared they might overhear His Majesty and Miss Xi's conversation; if they were too far apart, they worried that if His Majesty called them, they wouldn't be able to hear him.
Therefore, regardless of one's identity or profession, life is full of helplessness.
Wu Jianfeng always looked at Xi Xizhi with a hint of hostility.
It's been so long, and there's still no sign of the Phoenix Cloud Sable. I wonder if that sable is dead or not...
Wu Jianfeng didn't care about Feng Yun Diao's safety, but whenever he saw the child's silver hair, he would always think of Feng Yun Diao, and then of his elder brother who died from being pierced by a thousand arrows.
Xi Xizhi turned her head and accidentally saw his eyes, which startled her.
When did she offend him?
Why is he staring at me like that?
It's creepy.
Wu Jianfeng realized that his gaze was giving away too much of his thoughts, so he immediately looked away and composed himself.
But no matter how closely he looked at his movements, they did not escape the eyes of the crowd.
“Your Majesty, we’ve been strolling for so long. There’s a pavilion ahead. Why don’t we go in and rest?” Lin En noticed that Xi Xizhi kept wiping her sweat with her sleeves and guessed that she must be tired, so he made this suggestion.
An Honghan had already noticed Xi Xizhi's actions. It seemed that doing nothing but eating and sleeping all day was not a solution. Look! She had only walked for a short while, but she was already panting heavily.
False.
That's too far-fetched.
"Starting tomorrow, after you get up at dawn, run a lap around the Panlong Palace with me." An Honghan said as soon as he sat down in the pavilion.
Upon hearing this, Xi Xizhi jumped up from the stone bench in astonishment. Running? And running around the Panlong Hall? Are you kidding me!
Panlong Palace is the largest palace besides the palace where the morning court is held. It would take at least half an hour to run around Panlong Palace.
Xi Xizhi has been filling her training time with activities lately, and with running as an additional task, she suddenly realized that she couldn't slack off at all!
This is worse than death for her!
Xi Xizhi frowned, worried about her poor legs.
When she was still a little mink, An Honghan always held her in his arms, so she never had to walk.
After transforming into a child, although she needs to walk on her own, most of the time, when the distance is too far, Xi Xizhi will coax the steward into ordering a carriage to pick her up.
And now...
You tell her that it's bad enough that she can't sleep in, but now she doesn't even have time to be lazy anymore. How tragic is that?
"Can we not go?" Xi Xizhi asked weakly, probably knowing that An Honghan rarely took back what he said, so she spoke without much confidence.
"What do you think?" An Honghan glanced at Xi Xizhi with a cold look, seemingly unconcerned.
"I think it's okay!" For the sake of her future happiness, Xi Xizhi was determined to put up a final resistance, shaking her little head and leaning close to An Honghan. "As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, so the morning... is of course for sleeping!"
The first half of the sentence made a lot of sense, but when he heard the second half, An Honghan's brows furrowed.
"You must run tomorrow morning. What you said is completely unreasonable. I disagree."
Xi Xizhi's face fell, but she still refused to give up and argued, "Of course, the early morning is for sleeping. If you haven't had a good night's sleep, how can you expect to have a full day of energy? Don't you think so?"
"Nonsense." The words came out of An Honghan's mouth without any inflection. An Honghan raised his hand and flicked Xi Xizhi's forehead as a slight punishment.
An Honghan controlled his strength very well; this blow wouldn't hurt Xi Xizhi too much, but it was enough to teach her a lesson.
Xi Xizhi covered her forehead, pouted, and looked dissatisfied.
“That’s just an excuse for your laziness. The more you sleep, the more you want to sleep. Only by being strict with yourself can you achieve something.” An Honghan’s gaze swept over Xi Xizhi’s entire body. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, “Don’t you want to cultivate and attain enlightenment as soon as possible? Without a healthy body, how can you achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation?”
