Chapter 104: Defeat the scheming boy and tease the sultry general (14)
The weather in summer is stuffy, and even staying in the room makes people feel extremely hot. Li Ziyan sometimes enjoys the breeze and uses ice cubes, but he doesn't like this weather.
When the weather gets hot, people tend to get irritable and reluctant to move. Li Ziyan hadn't been out much since that training camp. Chu Heng knew that Li Ziyan was weak and would easily get overheated in such sweltering weather, so he would frequently visit the palace, playing chess and chatting with him, or telling him stories about military life to cheer him up.
"It's boring to have you accompany me in the palace all day long these days."
"No, you're worrying too much. It's so relaxing to chat with you."
Li Ziyan smiled, dropped the black piece in his hand, supported his head with one hand and tilted it slightly. His soft long hair fell down, attracting Chu Heng's attention and sight.
"I see the weather hasn't been that hot these past few days. Why don't you go to the training camp? You haven't been there in a while."
"Alright." Because they were in a state of rest, and there were adjutants and staff officers in the training camp, Chu Heng didn't need to go there every day. During this period of time, he calmed down and accompanied Li Ziyan. It had been a while since he went to report for duty. "Then I will go back today and make arrangements. We will go there tomorrow."
"Okay, actually I want to go horseback riding too. I haven't felt the rush of riding a horse in a long time."
"Your Majesty, can you ride a horse?"
"Of course, Huanzhi, don't underestimate me. Although I am not good at riding, I have been learning since I was a child. It's just that I can't ride a fast horse with my physical strength. I can only let those horses take a slow walk under me." Li Ziyan smiled self-deprecatingly, coughed a few times, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. It was more like a porcelain bowl filled with a drink than a teacup.
It wasn't tea, but plum soup with a little ice. I don't know when he put it in there.
"What is the prince drinking?" Chu Heng was a martial artist, and his senses were much better than others. He immediately noticed the abnormality in the cup, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Li Ziyan. The other party paused a little guiltily, but still pretended to know nothing.
"Drinking tea, why is Huan Zhi asking this?"
Chu Heng snorted, shook his head, stretched out his hand, and quickly took the teacup. When he touched it, he felt a drop of water and a chill.
"I don't remember the imperial physician ever saying that Your Highness can eat these things." Chu Heng glanced at Li Ziyan, who didn't know what to say, and turned around and called out, "Caiwei, Yunle."
"Hey, what did you ask them to do? Ahem, I won't drink it." Li Ziyan tried to cover Chu Heng's hand, but he grabbed it, holding his arms in his arms, unable to move. Chu Heng was a martial artist and was strong and sturdy. It was no match for someone like him who had been ill for many years. He was completely unable to resist. When Caiwei and Yunle came in, they saw their own prince being held in the general's arms.
Caiwei and Yunle were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted.
"Your Majesty, General, is there anything you need me to do?"
Chu Heng glanced at Li Ziyan's expression. Seeing the other party's anxious and nervous eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of pleasure and joy in his heart. He raised his chin and handed over the teacup in his other hand.
Caiwei took it and felt a chill in her hand. After opening it, there was unfinished sour plum soup and unmelted ice cubes inside. Li Ziyan didn't move, and Yun Le beside him also didn't say a word. Caiwei began to frown, and her expression became serious.
"Your Highness, I've told you countless times that this thing is cold in nature. You can't drink too much. Not only did you drink it, but you even added ice cubes to it!"
"Caiwei, this king, this king is just..."
"Don't explain. I think it's because the general has been pampering you and Yunle these days!" Caiwei turned around and pointed her finger at the tip of Yunle's nose. The other party was originally laughing secretly, but when he saw this posture, he immediately felt guilty. "Did you sneak these things in? I was wondering what you were doing sneakily these days? Turns out you were doing something bad here!"
Yun Le waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, Aunt Caiwei, you can't wrongly accuse me. I was helping the prince carry things, but the prince told me that he doesn't drink much. The prince lied to me!"
Li Ziyan was sold out in the blink of an eye. The prince was now as frightened as a quail, sitting obediently on the couch. Such a scene was probably only witnessed by Li Ziyan. Chu Heng had been staying in the palace for the past few days and was familiar with their relationship. Rather than being like master and servant, it was more like a family of brothers and sisters.
"Your Highness, if you continue to disobey me like this, I will definitely report you to the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Let's see how you continue to disobey the rules!"
"I know, ahem, I know, Caiwei, I know I was wrong, I will definitely not do this again, and please don't tell my brother and mother, ahem."
Caiwei was still worried about her own prince. Seeing Li Ziyan's sincere face and coughing, the worry in her heart deepened, overwhelming her blame for him. She reached out and twisted Yunle's ear.
"Your Highness must be obedient, otherwise I will really let the emperor take care of you. And Yunle, don't think you can get away with it. Come back with me today and recite the Book of Songs!" Caiwei bowed to the two of them and looked at Chu Heng who was watching the fun on the side. "General, please take care of our prince."
"rest assured."
Yun Le was taken out by Caiwei by grabbing her ears. Only the young prince and Chu Heng were left in the room. Chu Heng held Li Ziyan's waist. The waist under his hands was slender but tough. He secretly exerted a little force and could feel the body full of vitality. It was not as solid as his, but it was particularly pleasant to hug him.
"Huanzhi. Why are you still like this? If Caiwei tells my brother and mother, I will be in trouble."
"If Your Highness is afraid of being scolded, he should be obedient." Chu Heng said. Neither of them changed from such intimate movements and postures. They stayed there for a while until the place where they were pressed together became a little hot. Li Ziyan returned to his side with a red face.
Chu Heng waited until the sun was about to set before returning home that day. However, early the next morning, before Li Ziyan left the house, the servant who always followed Chu Heng appeared at the door.
"This servant pays homage to the Holy Prince."
"Hey, why don't you see your general?"
"Your Highness, the Emperor unexpectedly summoned him this morning. The general went to the palace early in the morning and sent me here to bring you a message. However, the carriage and personnel are already prepared. The general said that if you wish to go to the training ground, you can come directly with us."
Li Ziyan frowned. Summoning him at this time meant something serious was about to happen. He thought for a moment before letting the servant stand up.
"Are you going to the palace to report later?"
"That's right, Your Majesty."
"I will not be going to the training camp today. If the general comes out of the palace, just tell him."
"promise."
