Xu Nuo noticed that Xiao Jinyan seemed to be busy again these past few days, and he hadn't been seen for several days. Not only that, Lin Qi also seemed to be entangled in something and had not been seen for the past few days.
Xiao Jinyan was probably busy preparing for the army's welcoming banquet, but no one knew about Lin Qi.
Xu Nuo has almost recovered, but he still looks listless and unhappy.
666 knew why he was unhappy, and started nagging and revealed all of Xiao Jinyan's past.
"Don't be sad, Nuonuo. The male lead came to peek at you sleeping before."
Xu Nuo became interested, "When? How come I don't know!"
"That was the night you asked Lin Qi to stay overnight. He stood by your bed for a long time and even tried to kiss you. I held back, though. I saw you were mad at him, so I didn't tell you..."
Xu Nuo's depression of the past few days was swept away, like the grass that raised its head happily again after the sun came out after the rain.
"Humph! Then I won't pay any attention to him."
666 nodded in agreement, "That's right! We should teach him a lesson!"
Xu Nuo couldn't suppress the raised corner of his mouth, and was thinking in his mind how to tease Xiao Jinyan.
Two days later there was a celebration banquet. In addition to the soldiers led by General Lin, the defeated Rong slaves also sent envoys to ask for peace.
Xu Nuo practiced a majestic expression in front of the mirror for a long time the night before, and discussed with 666 in his mind for a long time how to talk to the ministers. It was already late at night when he finally finalized it. Xu Nuo touched his rumbling stomach and scratched his head embarrassedly.
"I'm a little hungry, 66."
"If you're hungry, just ask the palace servants to bring you food! You're the emperor now, after all!"
Xu Nuo's eyes lit up, but he was still a little embarrassed, "What if they are all asleep?"
666 clicked his tongue twice. "There are plenty of palace guards in the palace. Nono is so stupid!"
Xu Nuo uttered an "oh" twice, then suddenly realized what was going on. Wang Hai was not on duty tonight, so Xu Nuo had sent him back to rest early. Biyu had disappeared without a trace.
Xu Nuo had no choice but to put on airs and shout, "Someone come!"
After a long while, two senior palace maids came in reluctantly and bowed.
"Go prepare some cakes for me, and..."
Before Xu Nuo could finish his words, he was interrupted by one of the fierce-looking palace maids, "Your Majesty, it's late at night. Eating any more will cause indigestion."
Xu Nuo was stunned and subconsciously explained, "I only eat a little..."
The head maid's expression was full of undisguised impatience. "If the Prince Regent knew that Your Majesty was so willful, he would probably be furious."
Xu Nuo didn't expect that the senior palace maid would use Xiao Jinyan to pressure him, and he was speechless for a moment.
The senior palace maids looked at each other with some contempt, bowed and left.
“66..., why are they like this...?” Xu Nuo picked at the pattern on the corner of his clothes, feeling a little aggrieved and embarrassed.
"I'm so pissed!" 666, like a puppy, jumped around in frustration. "They just think you don't have real power! But you're still the emperor after all! How can they control you?"
Xu Nuo coaxed it soothingly, "Forget it 66, I'd better go to sleep first..."
666 sighed angrily.
That night, Xiao Jinyan gave his final instructions for tomorrow's celebration banquet, and learned from Yingyi who came to report that Xu Nuo had been bullied tonight.
Xiao Jinyan suddenly tightened his grip, and the teacup in his hand shattered.
"Drag him around the palace before disposing of him. Who gave them the guts to do that..." Xiao Jinyan didn't finish the rest of the sentence. Those palace servants dared to treat Xu Nuo so harshly because they were using his name. Xiao Jinyan felt a huge hole in his heart, and for the first time, he was angry at his own inconsiderateness.
Xiao Jinyan had no intention of handling government affairs anymore. He waved away the attendants who followed him and walked towards Funing Palace alone.
In Funing Palace, Xu Nuo was still asleep, his stomach empty, disturbing his sleepiness. There was a noise at the palace door. 666 hurriedly reminded him, "The male protagonist is here!"
Xu Nuo quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but his skills in pretending to be asleep were not very good. When Xiao Jinyan approached, he saw that the little man on the bed had his eyes tightly closed, but his eyelashes as long as crow's wings were still shaking.
Xiao Jinyan simply reached out and touched his little face, "Your Majesty, don't sleep."
Xu Nuo knew that he had discovered it and slowly opened his eyes.
"What do you want to eat?" Xiao Jinyan's voice was softer than ever before, almost doting. Xu Nuo felt the temperature suddenly rise so high that he felt a little breathless. The flickering candlelight added a touch of charm.
"Anything is fine..." Xu Nuo still felt a little awkward.
"Yeah." Xiao Jinyan retracted his hand, "Wait for me, it will be done soon."
Xiao Jinyan actually can't cook. The only thing he can make is the clear soup noodles that the aunt from his neighbor's house taught him when he was a child. More than 20 years later, late at night, Xiao Jinyan rolled up his sleeves in the small kitchen of Funing Palace and made a midnight snack for the boy he loved. He was unexpectedly good at it.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Nuo was happily eating the steaming clear soup noodles in front of him.
"Is it delicious, Your Majesty?"
"Hmm...hmm!" Xu Nuo nodded while eating.
Xiao Jinyan had never felt so satisfied before. No matter when he won the top three places in the imperial examination or when he was canonized by the late emperor, nothing could compare to the young man's bright eyes and eyebrows at this moment.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
Xu Nuo paused and continued eating noodles.
"I dare not be angry with the emperor's uncle."
Xiao Jinyan sighed silently, "Go to sleep."
Xu Nuo nodded, covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes.
Then I heard Xiao Jinyan's voice, which was almost inaudible.
"My Nono."
The sound quickly dissipated in the air, as if it was just a promised illusion.
