Gradually, Xu Nuo figured out the trick from Xiao Jinyan's teaching. Xiao Jinyan no longer teased him deliberately, but concentrated on teaching him everything he had learned. The two of them made rapid progress in the morning.
"So that's it! I understand everything!" Xu Nuo understood the secret and twisted her body happily in his arms.
Xiao Jinyan nudged his face affectionately, earning a series of ticklish giggles from the man in his arms, "Nono is very smart."
Xu Nuo raised his little head proudly and snorted. Xiao Jinyan loved his lively little appearance and wanted to hold him in his arms and kiss him fiercely, but he could only suppress the impulse in his heart.
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, don’t scare Nuonuo.
"Nono, take a break, it's time for lunch."
Xu Nuo touched her belly and realized that so much time had passed without her noticing.
"Someone come here!" Xu Nuo shouted towards the door, not noticing that Xiao Jinyan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Wang Hai soon came in with a group of palace servants. Occasionally, a few palace maids looked up when they came in, but soon they blushed and lowered their heads, looking at their noses and their hearts.
Until Wang Hai, with a slightly embarrassed expression, prompted Xu Nuo, "Your Majesty..., you and the prince..."
Xu Nuo was puzzled. He lowered his head and looked at Xiao Jinyan's two long and strong legs, while he was sitting comfortably in Xiao Jinyan's arms.
Xiao Jinyan chuckled softly and said in a very good mood, "Serve the food, Your Majesty is hungry."
Xu Nuo was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it, so he quickly jumped off his legs.
"You didn't see anything!" Xu Nuo had a red face and looked like he was trying to put on airs. He looked like a kitten clamoring to scratch people. He had no deterrent power, but instead made people want to go along with him.
"Your Majesty, we really didn't see anything..." Wang Hai replied according to his meaning, not knowing what expression to make. He had an inexplicable premonition that the little majesty was going to be carried away by a pig.
"Nono, be good and eat first. No one will tell anyone." Xiao Jinyan acted like a peacemaker and seemed to be comforting him, but in fact he wanted to tell the palace people that something was going on between them. His intimate tone and address also invisibly confirmed the speculations of those below.
Anyone who could serve beside the Emperor and the Regent was extremely cunning. When Xiao Jinyan said this, everyone except Xu Nuo understood what the Regent had not said out loud - not only did Xiao Jinyan not intend to hide his relationship with His Majesty, he even had the intention of announcing it to the world.
The table was soon filled with delicious food. Xu Nuo still remembered what had happened just now. He had lost his appetite and poked the rice in his bowl with his chopsticks in shame and anger.
For an emperor, such childish behavior is really against royal etiquette, but Xiao Jinyan has no bottom line at the moment, not to mention that he is the culprit who made Xu Nuo lose face.
Xiao Jinyan picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and put it into Xu Nuo's bowl. "Nuo Nuo, would you like to follow me out of the palace after dinner?"
Xu Nuo's mood suddenly brightened up. She raised her head and looked at him with sparkling eyes. "Really? You're not lying to me?"
"What I have said to Your Majesty will always count," Xiao Jinyan spoke clearly and in a firm tone. His gray eyes looked directly into Xu Nuo's eyes, and the glaring and unconcealed lust and love in his eyes seemed to overwhelm him.
Xu Nuo immediately remembered what he said last night.
"'Will what the Emperor's uncle said today still be valid tomorrow?'
'It counts, and it always counts.'"
Damn Xiao Jinyan! Xu Nuo's ears were still red as he glared at him. Going out of the palace to play was obviously just a side job. Xiao Jinyan's real purpose was to remind him to accept last night's confession.
"Where is your uncle taking me?" Xu Nuo pretended not to understand what he meant. He didn't call Shen Zhi anymore. It would be a waste not to have fun anyway.
"Your Majesty, wherever you want to go, I am willing to follow you." Xiao Jinyan also cooperated with him and became serious, but under the appearance of harmony between the monarch and his subjects, he was actually saying obscure love words behind his back.
Xu Nuo was completely defeated by him, so he stopped talking and buried his head in the food, pretending to be absorbed in it.
Xiao Jinyan curled up the corners of his mouth and picked up another piece of his favorite braised pork with chopsticks and put it in his bowl.
After dinner, Xu Nuo had already mixed the embarrassment and thoughts in his little head into the bowl and ate them, and began to mindlessly pick out casual clothes to wear out of the palace.
"Wear this one, Your Majesty. It won't attract too much attention." Xiao Jinyan picked out a light green robe and handed it to Xu Nuo. Xu Nuo had no objection and obediently went behind the screen to change his clothes. When he came out, there was one less serious little emperor in the hall and one more soft and sweet young man.
"Is it very strange..." Xu Nuo clasped his hands together, feeling a little embarrassed. Xiao Jinyan's eyes were burning, staring straight at him, as if he wanted to stare a hole through him.
"No, it's beautiful."
Xiao Jinyan stepped forward, pulled out a flawless white jade hairpin from his sleeve, and untied his hair. His long, soft, dark chestnut hair fell loose on the boy's shoulders, making him look like a young, pampered young man who had grown up innocent of the ways of the world.
The man's calloused fingers carefully gathered his long, silky hair and pinned it with the hairpin. The mutton-fat white jade and the pale green robe complemented each other beautifully, and Xiao Jinyan suddenly felt a surge of regret. The thought of such a beautiful young man appearing before everyone, those people spying on him, coveting him... Xiao Jinyan was driven mad with jealousy.
"Are you okay?" Xu Nuo asked him, pulling him out of his thoughts.
"Okay, Nuonuo is so beautiful," Xiao Jinyan took his hand back and gave him a precious kiss on the ear.
Xu Nuo's skin began to heat up again because of this kiss, "Shenzhi, don't--"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jinyan stepped away, a smile on his face, "What did Nuonuo think I was going to do?"
