New members added to the palace
Chapter 4: New Members Added to the Palace
Stop in front of your mother's house and knock gently on the door.
"Mother, your son is here to see you."
There was a slight sound from the room, and after a moment Aunt Wen's smiling face appeared.
"Shenzhi is here."
Chu Huaibei gave a crooked salute.
"Hello, Aunt Wen~"
Then he stepped aside.
"Huzhi, this is Aunt Wen."
Sun Mingsi put the child down, bowed properly, and said hello, Aunt Wen.
Aunt Wen saw the person coming and responded:
"Okay, okay, okay, you too."
He immediately turned around and trotted into the house:
"Toffee, this is incredible..."
Chu Huaibei happily took Sun Mingsi's hand, and Xiao Yiheng held his mother's hand and went into the house together.
He gave instructions while walking and tilting his head.
"When you see me kneeling, you should kneel down too. My mother is a gentle person. She will only be happy to see you. Just follow me and call me mother."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked into the living room, looked at his mother sitting on the armchair, and pulled her to kneel down together.
"Mother, your son is here to see you. He has brought someone with him. Mother, mother, please come and see him."
Chu Huaibei winked at his mother with a smug look on his face.
The concubine looked at the face that was exactly the same as her grandson's. What was there to not understand? Although she didn't know why she hadn't seen him for three years, the fact that he was kneeling in front of her with her son meant that everything must have been settled.
Although his son is sometimes a bit capricious, he is always steady and prudent in his work.
"Good boy, get up quickly. From now on, just call me mother, just like Shen Zhi."
Chu Huaibei squeezed Sun Mingsi's hand and shook it gently.
"Mother."
Sun Mingsi's clear and bright voice is very soothing to listen to.
"My name is Shi Ming, courtesy name Hu Zhi. I am from Longzhou. Both my parents have passed away, leaving me as the only one left. I have agreed to stay in the palace with Huaibei from now on."
"Good boy, don't worry and stay here. This will be your home from now on."
The concubine looked at Sun Mingsi's clear and bright eyes and comforted him.
"Hurry, everyone, get up and sit down. Don't kneel. This must have been Shen Zhi's idea."
As he spoke, he waved to Chu Huaibei to quickly pull the person up and sit down.
"Okay, we'll listen to mother."
Chu Huaibei's eyes were full of smiles. As he spoke, he stood up, took the person's hand, and sat down on the chair beside him.
Afterwards, he discussed in detail with his mother how to reject the marriage proposals from the prefect and the magistrate's family.
How to make the various noble families give up the idea of sending concubines to the palace, how to arrange Hu Zhi's background, etc.
In the evening, the two mothers prepared a family dinner, and Hu Zhi officially became a member of the royal palace.
After the family dinner, Hengheng was left to stay at his mother's house. Hengheng rolled his eyes twice, looked left and right at his parents, curled his lips, and nodded in agreement.
Normally, as long as Dad was home, he would sleep in the same room with him. When Dad went to the military camp, he would sleep in Grandma's room. Throughout the year, Dad was rarely at home. Little Yiheng felt a little reluctant.
Chu Huaibei held Sun Mingsi's right hand with his left hand and slowly walked back to his dormitory. It was still snowing, and the wind blew the snow particles onto his outer robe. The floor of the corridor was wet with the snow blown in.
Chu Huaibei protected him on the inside. She always felt that as a man, Hu Zhi's figure was still a little thin.
Recalling the fitness male models in my phone in my previous life, yes, I didn’t have any hobbies in my previous life. Apart from work, reading novels and looking at male models, I had the desire but not the courage.
Tsk, Chu Huaibei is really bold and shameless, now she has the advantage. Thinking about these things, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, and even a 200-jin stone lock couldn't hold her down~
When he returned to the dormitory, the hot water was already prepared. Chu Huaibei remembered Uncle Deng's instructions and finally just wiped his body.
When taking off clothes, Sun Mingsi blushed, but Chu Huaibei's mouth never turned down.
In fact, because of the arrow wound on his back, his upper body was wrapped up from the chest, leaving only his waist exposed.
The way he always blushed and looked around made Chu Huaibei suspect that he had never found another woman.
Tsk, no wonder men in her previous life liked shy women, and she also liked shy men!
Seeing Sun Mingsi squatting down to wash her feet himself, Chu Huaibei was startled and quickly moved his feet away.
"I can wash my feet myself. You don't need to take care of me like this."
"I'm willing to wash it for you, I don't mean anything else."
Sun Mingsi looked up with stars in his eyes, bright and gentle. He looked into Chu Huaibei's eyes with a firm tone.
His white hands, with distinct joints, grasped her ankles and slowly placed them back into the basin. He scooped up warm water, poured it over the instep, and scrubbed it carefully.
Chu Huaibei stared at his actions in a daze, his heart filled with indescribable emotions.
Even in previous lives, washing one person's feet was a very intimate thing, let alone in ancient times.
After wiping her dry and putting on soft-soled indoor shoes for her, he stood up and prepared to let her go back to bed to rest, but was hugged by Chu Huaibei.
Her head rubbed against his ears and temples again and again, reminding him of a cat he had raised when he was a child, which also liked to rub against people.
It took a while for Chu Huaibei to let the person go. He wanted to watch the beauty bathing, but the beauty refused. So he had to give up this benefit temporarily and lie down on the bed first.
Sun Mingsi returned to the bathroom and fetched water to take a bath, only to find another new set of clothes on the hanger, complete with inner and outer clothes. Judging from the size, they should be Huaibei's.
Seeing that the two men were almost the same height, except that Shen Zhi was a little slimmer, Aunt Wen took the initiative to take Chu Huaibei's new clothes for him to change into.
I heard that Shenzhi brought the man back directly from outside the mansion by climbing over the wall. I guess he didn't bring any luggage. It is not certain that clothes bought from the clothing shop will fit him better. Let him wear them first. I will make two sets of clothes for him tomorrow.
Sun Mingsi washed and dressed neatly, walked out of the bathroom and went straight to the small couch next to him, ready to sleep on it tonight.
"Huzhi, Huzhi, the bed is cold and hard, come and sleep next to me."
Seeing this, Chu Huaibei hurriedly stopped him and patted the mattress with his left hand.
"The bed is soft and warm. I've warmed it up for you~"
"No, I can just take the bed and bedding and sleep."
Sun Mingsi had anticipated this situation and had already made plans.
Chu Huaibei was not willing to give up.
"If you don't come over, I'll go over there by myself. Even if the bed is small, we can still sleep together if we squeeze in."
When he can't win the argument, he starts to act like a rogue.
When Sun Mingsi saw that she really threw off the quilt and got out of bed to walk towards him, he felt both angry and amused. Not to mention Doctor Deng's instructions, just because of Chu Huaibei's injuries, it was inconvenient for them to sleep in the same bed. He was afraid that he would accidentally touch her injuries when he was confused at night, which would not be conducive to her recovery.
Before I knew it, Chu Huaibei had already gotten on the bed and was about to lie down. Knowing that I couldn't stop her, I had to compromise. There was plenty of space on the bed, so if I was careful it should be fine.
"Get up, I'll sleep in the bed with you." Sun Mingsi said helplessly.
Chu Huaibeile's eyes curved with joy, and every brow spoke of happiness. He pulled Sun Mingsi's hand to the bed, and lay down on it consciously, with the broken hand leaning against the inside. He lay there with his hands and feet restrained, looking so well-behaved.
Sun Mingsi went to bed and covered the two of them with a quilt, then lay flat on his back. Just as he put his hand back into the quilt and placed it on his abdomen, he was held by the warm hand of the person next to him.
Looking sideways, he met Chu Huaibei's smiling eyes.
"Your hands are cold, let me warm them for you."
Listening to Chu Huaibei's serious yet uncontrollable joyful words, Sun Mingsi hummed softly, turned his head, closed his eyes, and went to sleep, fearing that she would do something again.
This was really unfair to Chu Huaibei. She really just wanted to hold hands with the beauty and didn't want to do anything else.
In her previous life, she just held hands with her ambiguous partner and never kissed him. She had the desire but not the courage. Everyone likes beautiful women, so it would be best if she could just be close to him.
However, this hand is strangely cold, probably a little weak. He also ate little for dinner, only one-third of Chu Huaibei's appetite, no wonder he is so thin.
But he didn't seem to be picky about food, he ate all the dishes. I'll have to keep an eye on him while he eats tomorrow and make sure he's healthy and strong. Chu Huaibei fell asleep in his wandering thoughts.
Hearing the deep and even breathing of the person next to him, Sun Mingsi opened his eyes, gently turned his head, and stared at her sleeping face. There seemed to be thousands of waves rolling and surging in his eyes, and his thoughts were floating violently like the mist brought by a summer rainstorm.
Sun Mingsi never thought that he would meet her again one day.
In fact, he had seen Chu Huaibei from a distance once when he was 15 years old. At that time, he was dressed in military uniform and rode into the city with a small group of people. He was quite imposing even as a young man. He had a nimble figure on horseback, sharp eyes, handsome features, and honey-colored skin from being away from home for many years. He looked very similar to the old prince.
That night, when he escaped from the alley, she recognized him at first sight and threw herself into his arms without hesitation. When her hand covered the back of his neck, she knew that she was very vigilant, even towards an ordinary person with no power.
After arriving at the inn, he was already somewhat confused. The damn Wang Jing actually poisoned an ordinary woman with aphrodisiac. There was no antidote for this drug, so he could only have sex with her.
He heard her question in a trance and was unable to make any other plans. Jin San was afraid that he would not be able to arrive in a short time, and Jin Si and Jin Wu were entangled by Zheng Wenxiao's men, and he didn't know when they could escape.
As long as it was Chu Huaibei, he would accept it. But what shocked him was that the King of Zhenbei was actually a girl. The subsequent events were a natural progression.
He was greedy for pleasure. Before leaving, he looked at her figure covered with blue and red marks, took off the cloud-patterned white jade pendant that he never took off, and placed it beside her pillow.
Today I found the pendant on Xiao Yiheng's neck, hanging close to his chest.
Because of his identity and the fetal poison in his body since childhood, he didn't have many years to live, so Sun Mingsi had always buried his feelings deep in his heart. This time, when she suddenly appeared and recognized him, he was caught off guard and his emotions for her burst out, and he could no longer suppress them.
And the existence of Xiao Yiheng made him more attached to this world, which was something he would never dare to dream of in his life.
She still cared about him and gave birth to a child for him (Chu Huaibei: A major misunderstanding, but judging by the result, it was indeed the case). She was even willing to keep him and live with him without asking why.
After the crazy emotions slowly subsided, Sun Mingsi fell asleep holding Chu Huaibei's hand.
Sun Mingsi's body unconsciously moved closer to the heat source, his hands wrapped around her waist, and his whole body leaned against Chu Huaibei.
The next day, when Chu Huaibei woke up at dawn, he found her in such an intimate posture. He gently turned his head and found that she was still sleeping soundly. He lay still on the bed, not daring to move, for fear of waking up the beauty.
Chu Huaibei stared at the bed curtains, thinking about the things he needed to arrange for today. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted and his eyes widened.
The beauty suddenly crossed one leg over and rubbed her foot lightly on the instep of her foot, as if testing the water temperature, and then placed her slightly cold sole directly on her warm instep.
