"If Qi Yanjing, that brat, dares to treat our Xiaoyi badly..."
The chopsticks in Gu Lingze's hand broke with a sound, and the unfinished words were self-evident.
Zhao Chengmo looked at him, his eyes full of doting.
"He definitely wouldn't dare." Then he pulled out another pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder and placed them in his hand.
"Humph." Gu Lingze snorted unhappily, "I don't think he would dare to do that."
The two were sitting in a private room in Heyi Tower in Nanyang Prefecture, with several delicious dishes on the table in front of them.
Zhao Chengmo raised the corners of his lips and said, "Have you forgotten how that kid begged you?" Then he picked up a crab meat lion head and put it in his bowl.
Three years ago, Qi Yanjing was first named Crown Prince.
Since then, his feelings for Zhao Yigu have become increasingly obvious.
Gu Lingze had been feeling angry for a long time because his fair and tender little girl was being thought of all the time.
"Doesn't Qi Yanjing always say that there is something fishy in his palace? As the imperial tutor, I should do my duty conscientiously." After saying that, he stood up and pulled Zhao Chengmo into the palace.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of Xingsheng Palace, Eunuch Zhou came to greet him from afar.
"Your Highness, the Duke."
"Get up." Gu Lingze looked at him, "Where is the prince?"
When Eunuch Zhou saw him coming at him so aggressively, he immediately bent his body even lower.
"Your Highness just went to the Queen's palace, and I will..."
"No need." Gu Lingze waved his hand, "Duke Xuan and I will be waiting for him in the palace."
Although he said so, Eunuch Zhou didn't dare to really let them wait.
Let the fastest eunuch in the palace go and inform His Highness, and Eunuch Zhou will lead the two of them to sit in the main hall first.
Unexpectedly, Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo went straight to Qi Yanjing's bedroom.
Eunuch Zhou was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to stop it.
Not to mention entering the bedroom, even if the Xingsheng Palace was blown up today, His Majesty and His Highness would not blink an eye.
"Your Highness always says there are ghosts, so let this national teacher come and take a look." After saying this, he pushed open the door of the bedroom.
A cool and fragrant smell came towards him. For some reason, Gu Lingze always felt that this smell was particularly familiar.
Although it is the prince's bedroom, it is not luxurious and all the furnishings are almost visible at a glance.
Gu Lingze walked to the desk and looked at the essays on the table. The handwriting was so vivid and accurate, it really was a reflection of the writer.
As they were both children who had grown up together, Gu Lingze certainly didn’t hate Qi Yanjing. On the contrary, he liked him very much.
But if you want to eat your own cabbage, that’s another matter.
Gu Lingze looked around and his eyes suddenly swept across the bed in the bedroom.
Seeing this, Eunuch Zhou almost risked half his life in his heart before he dared to step sideways in front of the two men.
"Master Imperial Master, Lord Marquis, I believe our Highness should have arrived by now. Could you please move to the main hall?"
Gu Lingze looked at the cold sweat on his forehead and laughed.
"It's broad daylight, and the curtains on the prince's bed are tightly drawn. This country teacher is here to catch ghosts, so we must take a close look."
After saying that, he walked to the bed and pulled open the curtains.
Eunuch Zhou couldn't help but close his eyes, thinking, "It's over, it's over."
What Gu Lingze didn't expect was that the bed was covered with various portraits of his son.
There are more than a dozen of them, some standing, some lying, some standing up, some sitting, some with a focused look, and some with a stern expression.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Zhao Chengmo's eyes, and he smiled and shook his head.
Seeing this, Gu Lingze was rarely speechless.
At this time, there was a noise coming from far away in front of the door. After a while, Qi Yanjing strode in.
"You step back first." Qi Yanjing said expressionlessly.
"Yes." Eunuch Zhou walked towards the door at a rapid speed and closed it.
Qi Yanjing looked at the two of them, lifted up his robe, and knelt on the ground solemnly.
Gu Lingze simply turned around and said coldly: "What is your Highness doing? As subjects, we two cannot afford such a great gift from His Highness."
"I can afford it." Qi Yanjing lowered his head, "I am pleased with you, you two must know it."
"So the person I'm kneeling to is my father-in-law, and it's only natural."
"Hey, you little brat!" Gu Lingze was about to step forward when Zhao Chengmo grabbed his shoulder.
"Listen to him." As soon as he finished speaking, he received a glare from his husband.
"I know what you two are worried about. Today, I, Qi Yanjing, swear on my life that the love of my life is only for Zhao Yigu."
"If you break this oath, you will be punished by both heaven and earth."
——
"Your Highness, it's time to get up."
Eunuch Zhou lowered his head, not daring to look into the bright yellow tent.
Zhao Yigu opened his eyes when he heard footsteps. Just as he was about to get up, he was held tightly by the arms on his chest.
He glanced at Qi Yanjing who was pretending to be asleep and dying beside him, and said coldly: "I am hungry."
Qi Yanjing immediately opened his eyes and shouted outside the tent, "Why don't you go and prepare breakfast?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yigu and curved his eyes, "Yigu, let's sleep for a while."
"I am not sleepy."
"Then just watch me sleep."
Zhao Yigu looked at Qi Yanjing's shameless face, and cold air continued to radiate outward.
Qi Yanjing unexpectedly moved towards him and said, "Yi Gu, you look so warm."
Zhao Yigu couldn't bear it any longer, so he raised his hand and pressed hard on an acupuncture point on his upper arm. Qi Yanjing's strength was immediately weakened, but his other hand quickly grabbed his wrist.
Zhao Yigu raised his leg to kick, but when it was about to make contact, he retracted his force.
The smile in Qi Yanjing's eyes became even more intense, and he grabbed his calf and pulled it towards him.
Seeing that she was about to fall into his arms, how could Zhao Yigu let him succeed? He pushed hard with his right leg and was about to stand up.
But Qi Yanjing suddenly grabbed her left hand and left foot at the same time, causing her to lose balance and sit directly astride Qi Yanjing's body.
Qi Yanjing curled the corners of his lips and was about to speak, but he found that Zhao Yigu in front of him was disheveled, his hair was slightly messy, his thin lips were half-open and he was breathing slightly.
Perhaps because of anger, the corners of her eyes were slightly red.
What’s even worse is that Zhao Yigu was sitting on him at this moment.
Qi Yanjing felt the obvious changes beneath him and immediately let go of Zhao Yigu's wrist and sat up.
He cleared his throat and said, "Let's get up."
Zhao Yigu glared at him, and he felt more and more that Qi Yanjing must have been frightened by the ghost of that year.
After getting out of bed and washing up, they sat down at the breakfast table.
Qi Yanjing was serving soup and picking up dishes with such attentiveness that even Eunuch Zhou beside him couldn't bear to watch.
But Zhao Yigu looked very natural and didn't realize there was anything wrong with asking the crown prince to help serve the food.
"I want to eat that."
When he had almost finished eating, Qi Yanjing pointed at the jade shrimp ball next to Zhao Yigu's hand and looked at him eagerly.
"Your arms are so long, hold them yourself."
Qi Yanjing lowered his head slightly, with a look of disappointment on his face, "Oh."
When Zhao Yigu saw him like this, he felt a little stuffy in his chest for some reason.
