When Li Yancheng slipped in, Yan Xi and Zhao Nanyi were eating lotus cakes together, eating one bite at a time, and eating happily.
"Nan Yi, how is it? Is the lotus crisp delicious?" Yan Xi puffed out her cheeks and looked at the child in her arms with a smile.
Zhao Nanyi's mouth was full of crumbs, and he looked up at him with sparkling eyes, "Delicious! Uncle Master, you are so kind to me."
"That's right." Yan Xi raised his chin proudly, "Just eat whatever you want, Uncle Master will give you."
"(⊙o⊙)Wow! Uncle Master, you are so nice!" Zhao Nan straightened his waist, hugged his face and gave him a kiss.
The snack crumbs instantly stuck to Yan Xi's cheeks.
Not only was Yan Xi not angry, he also happily kissed his chubby face, just like a father and son.
Li Yancheng, who was hiding in the corner and observing secretly, stared at the child in his arms with his dark eyes, and his whole body was filled with low pressure.
Haha...it turns out that this kid makes Yan Xi so happy that he doesn't want to leave.
Zhao Nan took a bite of the lotus crisp and suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He couldn't help but lean into Yan Xi's arms and said pitifully, "Uncle Master, I feel like someone is staring at me."
"How could that be? You must be mistaken. Who else could it be besides me?" Yan Xi had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He gently put him down and touched his little head. "Can you please go into the house? Uncle Master will help you see who is staring at you."
"Well, uncle master, you have to be careful." Zhao Nanyi held the lotus cakes in the box, ran into the room with his short legs, and closed the door.
As soon as he left, Yan Xi looked at the archway of the courtyard and said coldly, "Come out."
Li Yancheng pursed his thin lips and walked out slowly.
Seeing him, Yan Xi was a little stunned, then her eyes lit up, she quickly walked up to him, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Li Yancheng looked unhappy and said, "I'm afraid if I don't come again, some people will forget me."
"Well... I accidentally played too much with my junior apprentice apprentice brother." Yan Xi smiled awkwardly.
Li Yancheng sighed softly, leaned over and hugged him, "Yanxi, can you come live with me in the palace in a few days? I want to see you every day."
Yan Xi hesitated a little, "But as an official appointed by the imperial court, if I have close contact with you, the emperor might become suspicious of you, which would be very disadvantageous to you."
Li Yancheng was slightly startled and looked at him, "I..."
He wanted to say "I don't care", but swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
He doesn't care, but Yan Xi can't help but care.
His father, the emperor, was already quite wary of the He family. In recent years, he had been looking for various excuses to find fault with officials in the court who had close ties with Prime Minister He. He demoted some, executed some, and suppressed them openly and covertly.
The reason why Yan Xi was promoted to the position of Dali Temple Minister so quickly was not only because he had made many meritorious contributions, but also because of other purposes.
If something goes wrong with Prime Minister He one day, the case will naturally be handed over to Yan Xi. No matter whether he handles it fairly or not, as long as he goes against the wishes of the emperor, the He family will be doomed.
It can be said that the entire He family is now in a precarious situation and may collapse overnight at any time.
If their affairs were exposed at this time, his father would certainly suspect that he was colluding with the He family, and might speed up the process of dealing with the He family.
Thinking of this, Li Yancheng suddenly felt a little depressed.
He had finally made Yan Xi's heart and eyes full of him, but in the end, because of these external factors, they could not spend every day together openly.
"Yanxi, after some time, when the time is right, you and I can get married, okay?" Li Yancheng asked suddenly.
Yan Xi was shocked and stared at him blankly. She wanted to say yes, but for some reason, she hesitated and didn't say it for a long time.
He always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.
The person in front of him didn't respond for a long time. Li Yancheng's expression became tense, and he felt inexplicably flustered. He lowered his head uneasily and pecked his lips lightly, whispering, "Yanxi, are you okay?"
Yan Xi stared at his uneasy expression, pulled her lips together and smiled, nodding, "Okay."
This simple word was like a magic needle that stabilized Li Yancheng's anxious heart.
Her brows relaxed and she hugged him tightly with great joy, as if she wanted to rub this person into her bones and blood and become one.
"Thank you, Yanxi. Believe me, this day will come soon and you won't have to wait too long."
"Yeah." Yan Xi hugged his waist and smiled gently.
The two hugged each other, not noticing someone coming.
Zhao Xuanlin and Pang Hao, who had just returned from a stroll in Lin'an City, wanted to come and see Zhao Nanyiyi, but they didn't expect to run into the two of them being affectionate with each other.
Pang Hao frowned as he looked at the two people hugging each other intimately in the yard.
Why is Xier suddenly together with King Xiaoyao again?
Not long ago, Xiao Jin wrote him a letter, saying that he and Xier had been honest with each other and were planning to get married soon, and hoped that he would officiate the wedding.
But now...why is Xier so close to King Xiaoyao?
Zhao Xuanlin looked at the two of them, then at Pang Hao, whose expression was not very good, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Master, what are you thinking about?"
Pang Hao looked back at him as he walked a little further away before saying, "I was thinking that something seemed a little off about Xi'er coming back this time."
