Chapter 62
Damn it.
How could your Majesty do this!
Until he closed his eyes at night, the scene he heard at night kept coming to his mind. His Majesty actually called his name... and did that kind of thing.
This was the first time in Xie Ling's life that he tapped his toes on the ground. He couldn't tell whether he was blushing or something else. He finally knew why the system went offline so early.
If you don't log off, your life will be in jeopardy.
Xie Ling half covered his face and couldn't help thinking: Why is His Majesty like this? How come he looked pure and innocent like a Taoist priest for so many years, but now he can't help it.
Is this what happens after falling in love?
They had kissed each other twice. If Xie Ling still couldn't feel the emperor's feelings for him, he would be stupid. But he didn't expect that the emperor liked someone completely different from what he thought.
The heat across the screen seemed to still be before his eyes, and Xie Ling couldn't help but take a deep breath.
…
Xiao Huan didn't stop until Xie Ling left, and then he walked out of the bath after a while.
To be honest, Xiao Huan didn't expect to be caught by Xie Ling. He had been under a lot of pressure these past few days. The busier he was, the more headache he had, and the more... he couldn't help but think of Xie Ling.
His throat rolled slightly, thinking that the guy would... avoid him tomorrow, right?
Xie Ling did want to hide from His Majesty. After all, the shock of witnessing that scene was too great. He felt that he would not be able to adjust for at least ten days or half a month.
"As a pure and innocent boy, when did things develop to this point?!"
Xie Ling questioned and was puzzled.
The system looked the host up and down, electronically suspicious: "Are you pure?"
How come it didn't see that?
The host "babbles" so loudly every day that the system really can't associate this word with the host.
Xie Ling choked and thought it seemed to be the case.
But no matter whether she is pure or not, she has to go to see Emperor Wu today. After all, we made an agreement yesterday - to celebrate the New Year together today.
Early in the morning, snowflakes were falling outside, and the stove was burning in the side hall. Qian Ming saw that Master Xie was still lying down, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Xie, get up quickly. It's New Year's Day today, you can't sleep any more."
After all, there is an old saying that if you sleep today, you will be lazy all year round.
While talking to Qian Ming, Xie Ling lingered in his warm bed for a moment before slowly getting up.
"Xiao Qian, is it cold outside?"
Looking at the thick snow falling on the ground, I don’t know whether it is cold or not.
Qian Ming took a look.
"Well enough."
"Although it is snowing today, it is much better than the previous few days. Mr. Xie, you can wear the cloak that His Majesty gave you last time when you go out."
Xie Ling's body stiffened for a moment. Thinking of the cloak reminded him of His Majesty again. He came to his senses and shook his head.
stop!
Xie Chunshi, can't think about it anymore, His Majesty must act as if nothing happened today. If he goes with his face flushed like this, wouldn't that be a loss?
Calm down, he encouraged himself and the system in his heart, but he was stunned as soon as he walked out the door.
——His Majesty is waiting for him outside the door.
It was snowing so heavily outside, and His Majesty did not come into the palace.
Xie Ling was confused for a moment. It was His Majesty who was so rude last night, so why was he being polite today when it was so cold, and would rather stand outside...?
Perhaps seeing Xie Ling's suspicious look, Xiao Huan raised his eyebrows.
"Why, you don't welcome me?"
Seeing that His Majesty was about to mention the agreement made last night, Xie Ling quickly said, "Welcome, of course."
"But why doesn't Your Majesty go in?"
Xiao Huan glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid you'll change your clothes."
Xie Ling: ? ? !
This one sentence made Xie Ling choke.
Eunuch Wang, who was following behind, couldn't help but smile, then looked at Master Xie's constantly changing expression and lowered his head again.
After an incense stick of time had passed, Xie Ling finally put aside his chaotic emotions and pulled people into the carriage.
Xiao Huan glanced outside: "So when you say take me to celebrate the New Year, you mean go out of the palace to eat spring rolls?"
Xie Ling nodded, as if it was a matter of course: "It's the New Year, how can I not go out and experience it."
"Your Majesty, you have been in the palace all year round. There is no popularity during the New Year this year. Don't you feel bored?"
Xiao Huan paused and looked at Xie Ling, but did not say: How can it be boring with Xie Ling around?
The year he was here has been the most fulfilling year I have ever lived.
However, since the other party was kind enough to show his affection, Xiao Huan was willing to leave the palace to take a look.
Because it was a private visit, there was no sign on the carriage, and it looked like an ordinary rich man's carriage. After passing through the market, Wang Bao parked the carriage on the side road.
"Your Majesty, Master Xie, do you want to go out for a walk?"
Unlike the deserted palace, today outside there were lights and decorations everywhere, a sea of red, and the sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers. Even Wang Bao, who prided himself on being patient, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Xie Ling looked at His Majesty eagerly, and saw His Majesty get out of the car.
"Let's go."
"Oh well."
Take out the footstool.
But wait, where's his footstool?
Xie Ling saw His Majesty getting off the carriage and was just about to look for the footstool he had brought with him. They looked at each other and suddenly His Majesty grabbed his waist and hugged him down.
"Hey, wait."
It happened inside the palace before, but this time it happened outside the palace. The action came so suddenly that Xie Ling almost had no time to react.
His ears turned red, and when he turned around he saw a few ladies passing by. He smiled jokingly, and his face instantly became even hotter.
"Ah, sir, I can do it myself."
Xiao Huan narrowed his eyes: "Too slow."
Xie Ling: Ahhhhh, damn it!
What's slow?
Your Majesty, are you saying that his legs are short?
Their eyes met, and Xie Ling turned away in anger. Xiao Huan paused for a moment, and saw Wang Bao laughing again.
Wang Bao looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but he didn't look at His Majesty or Master Xie until Master Xie walked forward.
Xie Ling led His Majesty through the alley and into a small restaurant. It wasn't a fancy restaurant, but it was clean and tidy, which was pretty good.
After Xiao Huan left the palace, he didn't care so much. He casually lifted his robe and sat down. He heard Xie Ling say, "I've eaten here once before. Although it's small, the food is really good."
“It’s as good as the big restaurants outside.”
Besides, during the Chinese New Year, you have to go to this kind of store to experience it.
He blinked and said, "Your Majesty, I guarantee you will be satisfied later."
Guaranteed to satisfy me? Xiao Huan's eyes darkened for a moment, then he looked away and watched Xie Ling skillfully call the waiter.
"Waiter, two servings of spring rolls."
"Two plates of beef and two bowls of glutinous rice balls."
Eunuch Wang and the others were sitting on the other side, so Xie Ling didn't have to worry about them, so he only ordered him and His Majesty.
Seeing that His Majesty seemed not to be used to using things from this small shop, Xie Ling was about to help His Majesty heat the dishes and chopsticks when he was held down by a hand.
"I'll do it."
Xiao Huan reached out and ironed the pair, placed them next to Xie Ling, and then ironed another pair. His movements were so natural that it didn't look like it was his first time.
Xie Ling looked over in surprise.
"Your Majesty will?"
Xiao Huan: "No, but I can tell at a glance."
Although he is the emperor, he will not let Xie Ling accommodate him.
Xie Ling looked at His Majesty with bright eyes, and soon the waiter came up with the dishes.
The two of them didn't ask for much, just a simple taste. This was the first time Xiao Huan had eaten outside the palace except when he was at the border, except for the food Xie Ling brought back for him.
Just this one taste, it tastes pretty good.
Xie Ling stared at him without blinking.
"Your Majesty, how is it?"
"Not bad." He nodded and was about to say something when he noticed that the shop, which had just opened, was full of people at noon. They were all ordinary people living nearby, and there were few officials.
Xiao Huan took a look and heard them talking about the recent military expedition against the Huns.
"If you ask me, what's the point of all the quarrels among those nobles?"
"We can spend the New Year here peacefully, drinking hot soup and reuniting. But the Anlu area has been plagued by banditry for many years. If we hadn't sent troops to fight back this year, we don't know how we would have spent the New Year this year."
The people living in the capital are human beings, and the people living in the Yinshan area are also human beings. We can't just say that we should ignore Yinshan for the sake of the stability of the country, right?
That would be the real instability, and even the peace and prosperity would become an illusion.
Although ordinary people do not understand military strategy, they are not completely blind. In particular, there are merchants in the market who have been to the Yinshan area.
The people below were talking, not as seriously as in the court, but they all spoke from the heart.
Xiao Huan looked at Xie Ling and saw Xie Ling chuckle:
"All right."
"Well, your majesty?"
"People will understand, right?"
He knew that His Majesty not only attached importance to military strategy, but also to people's livelihood, otherwise he would not have asked the Ministry of Revenue to control everything in advance.
Now that he knows that the people do not completely misunderstand him, the burden in his heart will be relieved a little, right?
It is a fight to the death and with so much pressure on your shoulders, Your Majesty may not be in a bad mood, but he is certainly not at ease.
Xie Ling's lips curved up.
Xiao Huan's heart skipped a beat as he looked at him. He lowered his eyes and picked up the teacup to conceal his feelings.
Just when Xie Ling thought that His Majesty would be stubborn and hypocritical again, he heard His Majesty say, "I know."
He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw His Majesty looking at him and said as if promising: "In this battle with the Huns, we will only win, not lose."
Xie Ling: Damn!
Why is your majesty looking at him like that? Xie Ling felt inexplicably dry in the mouth, so he drank a sip of water.
"So Your Majesty is going to lead the army in person?"
He remembered that in history, Emperor Wu led the army in person this time.
Xiao Huan knew that Xie Ling was smart, and he also knew that he must have seen through it, so he didn't give a perfunctory answer and said seriously:
"If I don't go in this duel with the Xiongnu Chanyu, the soldiers will lose their morale."
"After the New Year, I will personally lead the army."
Go on a personal expedition...
Xie Ling was a little eager to move, and just as he started to speak, he said, "Then I..." He was interrupted before he could finish his words. His Majesty seemed to know what he was going to say, and said with a half-smile:
"The Spring Examination is just around the corner. Why don't you prepare well for the border?"
"Do we have to wait another three years?"
"Or, you don't believe me?" Xiao Huan looked over for a moment.
Xie Ling immediately raised his hand and swore: "Your Majesty is wronged, how could I not believe Your Majesty."
He has always had the utmost confidence in Your Majesty's abilities.
Whether from the history books or from their long interactions, Xie Ling had no doubt that His Majesty would win. After all, this was Emperor Gan Wu.
We were able to win before, and this time will be no exception.
When Xiao Huan saw the golden words on his head, he didn't expect Xie Ling to have so much confidence in him. When he met Xie Ling's eyes, he finally didn't look away.
He just said word by word: "Xie Ling, I promise you that I will come back."
"I have never spoken out of turn."
Promise him...
Xie Ling suppressed the throbbing in his heart and nodded: "I will wait for your majesty."
Perhaps it was the first time they were separated, and he suddenly felt reluctant to leave, but he heard His Majesty say: "After the examination, the war should be over."
"If I don't pass the exam..."
Before the person on the other side finished speaking, Xie Ling's emotions that had just risen up immediately dissipated.
"How could I not pass the exam?"
"Your Majesty, please don't underestimate me."
He is no longer the same person today as he was yesterday. After such a long period of study and practice, Xie Ling feels that he is now incredibly strong!
Xiao Huan glanced at him and chuckled.
"Well, I'll wait and see."
…
His Majesty said that he would lead the army in person, which meant that he had already made preparations. The camp outside the capital had been preparing for many days. Just after the New Year, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were ready to go.
Because the other royal family members had been cleared out long ago and the capital was peaceful, the matter of the regent was temporarily handed over to Prince Shun. If there were other matters that could not be decided, they would be sent to the border as soon as possible.
As soon as Xie Ling got up in the morning, he heard that His Majesty's carriage was ready. He rushed to the city wall and saw the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the tall figure sitting on the Ferghana horse in the middle from afar.
Xiao Huan took off his dragon robe and wore the same armor as the soldiers today.
An official beside him was reporting something. He suddenly felt something and looked up, and saw Xie Ling on the city wall.
It was rare for Xie Ling to get up so early. Before Xiao Huan left, he had thought about not waking him up, but unexpectedly, he came on his own. His eyes froze for a moment, and then he smiled.
Xie Ling: …
"Tongzi, did His Majesty see me?"
System: "Probably."
"Who else would be on this wall?"
Xie Ling looked around and found that he was the only one there. Fortunately, no one noticed it at this time.
Xiao Huan watched for a long time, and after the official beside him finished explaining it, he pulled the reins.
"Let's go."
"Farewell, Your Majesty." The officials outside all knelt on the ground.
Xie Ling stared at him intently until His Majesty left.
"Thank you, Master. The wind on the city wall is strong. Let's go back."
Qian Ming walked over and said after His Majesty left.
Xie Ling nodded, and when he saw the army leaving, he pulled his crane cloak tight and went down from the city wall.
To be honest, Xie Ling originally thought that he had known for a long time that His Majesty would lead the army in person, and he should accept it very well. After all, no matter from which perspective, His Majesty would not lose.
However, he suffered from insomnia on the first night that His Majesty left.
I had dark circles under my eyes that night and couldn't fall asleep.
"Mr. Xie, what's wrong with you?" Qian Ming was a little surprised when he saw it.
"Nothing, maybe I drank too much tea last night."
Xie Ling covered his eyes and acted as if nothing had happened.
The system in the mind looked at the host who was stubborn and couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Actually, it's not shameful to say that you want to be the Martial Emperor."
Xie Ling tried to save his dignity: "What are you talking about, Tongzi, how could I miss your Majesty so early?"
"Your Majesty, I am very relieved when you go to war. System, you are totally overthinking it."
is that so?
The system, which had been seriously educated, was skeptical. After being refuted, it couldn't help but question itself: Could it have guessed wrong, and the host really drank too much tea?
As a result, Xie Ling still couldn't fall asleep the next night.
Xie Ling studied until so late during the day. If it were usual, he would be so sleepy that he couldn't even lift his head before taking a shower. But now he still hasn't felt sleepy at all.
Electronic detection showed that the person lying on the couch had an extremely active heart rate, and the system was hesitant to speak.
Seeing the host wake up, the marks under his eyes were a little heavier than yesterday. Even Wang Bao noticed it.
"Thank you, Master. Your Majesty should be fine now that he has gone to war."
"Why don't we ask the Imperial Hospital to prescribe some medicine for you?"
If Your Majesty knew that Master Xie suffered from insomnia, he would definitely hold him accountable.
Xie Ling shook his head and suddenly asked, "Did Elder Xia go with the army?"
Wang Bao nodded, and Xie Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
In fact, all arrangements had been made long before the expedition, and preparations had been made for several years, so there was no need to worry so much. However, Xie Ling couldn't help but think too much. When he realized what he had done yesterday, he coughed lightly. His intention only made things more obvious: "Okay, I admit, I am a little worried about Your Majesty."
“Just a little.”
System: ...Okay.
"You can write a letter to Emperor Wu." It suggested seriously.
Xie Ling: "Then let's not do it. What if it distracts His Majesty?" The battlefield is changing rapidly, and Xie Ling doesn't want to be held back because of himself.
Fortunately, he was not without things to do. He was forced by his teacher to review every day in preparation for the spring examination. He had little time to think about it after a busy day. Although he would always think of His Majesty in the dead of night, he could barely hold it in.
In the first month of the imperial expedition, Xiao Huan quickly took over the Yinshan affairs as soon as he arrived in Anlu City. Several groups of Weiyuan Army led by Chang Yun attacked Yinshan directly.
Even though Wuluyan realized through this test that Dagan had long been prepared against the Huns, he did not expect that it would be so soon that the army would reach the border just after the New Year.
The Weiyuan Army and the Lang Army engaged in direct combat. The leader of the Lang Army abandoned his army and fled, and over a thousand people were beheaded.
After Xiao Huan finished handling military affairs in the tent, he saw the Eagle Guard coming in.
"His Majesty."
He glanced at Liang Chun: "What's the situation in the capital?"
Liang Chun: "Everything is fine in the capital."
"Prince Shun has stabilized the government and no trouble has occurred."
Xiao Huan nodded and looked down at the map again. Just when Liang Chun thought that His Majesty had finished his questions, he heard His Majesty ask again: "Where is Xie Ling?"
Mr. Xie?
Liang Chun thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Xie is also very good. He has been studying hard these days."
"It's just that when His Majesty just left, Master Xie seemed to have insomnia for a few days."
Insomnia……
Xiao Huan's heart paused: Is he worried about me?
After a moment of silence, Xiao Huan picked up his pen and said, "Take this letter back."
"To Xie Ling."
"yes."
Liang Chun responded to the order, and after a while he saw His Majesty get up and go to the military camp.
…
Xie Ling waited for more than a month before he finally received news from the border. The battle between the Weiyuan Army and the Xiongnu Lang tribe had just ended, and General Chang had made another great contribution.
Xie Ling's brows relaxed a little when he heard Eunuch Wang's voice. At this time, he saw Eunuch Wang glance around, then turned around and made way to reveal the person behind him.
The Eagle Guard Commander who had been following His Majesty suddenly appeared, which surprised Xie Ling for a moment, but he heard Lord Liang say:
"Thank you, Master. His Majesty asked me to give this to you."
Liang Chun handed the letter to Xie Ling.
After thanking Lord Liang, Xie Ling waited until the man left before looking at his hands.
"What do you think His Majesty will write?" He couldn't help but chat with the system out of curiosity.
The system is also a little confused.
Each of them took the letter back to the study, and as soon as they opened it, they saw the smudge marks on the paper.
Because the conditions in Yinshan are not as good as those in the capital, the things are naturally not as good as those in the palace, even the ink marks are printed out.
Xie Ling watched carefully and saw that after His Majesty briefly talked about what happened in the past month, he seemed to pause for a while. The tip of the pen stayed there for too long, leaving an ink spot.
Realizing that the latter part might be different from the former, he held his breath and read the last words: "I also miss you a little bit."
Just one sentence made me feel as if I saw His Majesty in person, and it made me hold my breath.
Xie Ling covered his face and put his hands down after a while. He felt his heart beating irregularly again and subconsciously changed the subject:
"Your Majesty, why did you say 'also'?"
"Does he know that I toss and turn and can't sleep?"
System: "Is there any secret in the palace for the emperor?"
Xie Ling:!!!
“That makes sense.”
But, well, although it’s a bit embarrassing that he looks overly anxious, but... His Majesty also said that he missed him.
What Xie Ling didn’t know was that Xiao Huan paused for a long time when writing “some”.
It was obvious that he missed Xie Ling very much, but when he put pen to paper he only restrained himself and wrote "some".
Outside the tent, Xiao Huan thought of Xie Ling's expression when he received the letter and chuckled. He felt that all the fatigue from worrying so hard for these days seemed to have dissipated a little.
Xie Ling stared at the letter for a long time, and almost instinctively picked up the pen to write a reply, but when he thought that the war was at a critical moment, he suddenly stopped.
Forget it, let’s wait a little longer.
He struggled for a while before picking up the letter, and put it under his pillow again when he went to bed that night after taking a bath.
For several days, Xie Ling's expression relaxed a little, and Zheng Wanyun knew it was related to His Majesty. However, because it involved the war on the front line, Zheng Wanyun was not convenient to ask, and just said: "Since you feel relieved, just read the book carefully."
"I have just lived up to your Majesty's kindness."
Xie Ling felt a little embarrassed when the teacher saw through her.
"Teacher, don't worry, I know."
Although Your Majesty is leading the army in person, this year's imperial examinations will not be affected. The joint examinations will proceed as usual after the spring, but the palace examinations will probably be postponed until Your Majesty returns.
Xie Ling came back to his senses, thinking that he must impress the emperor in this imperial examination and be nominated in the Golden Palace - this was probably what the emperor expected of him.
…
Due to the inconvenience of communication, they had to wait again after only sending a hasty letter. There were several battles with the Huns, with some wins and some losses, but generally speaking, Da Gan had the upper hand.
However, what troubled Xiao Huan was that he had not been able to capture any branch of the Xiongnu royal court during this period of time.
Xiao Huan looked at the map, thought of Wuluyan's cautiousness of not releasing the eagle until he saw the rabbit, knocked on the table, and decided to use himself as bait.
Liang Chun immediately stood up to object: "Your Majesty, it would be safer if I could disguise myself as Your Majesty."
It is too dangerous to let Your Majesty be the bait himself!
"A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. Your Majesty, even if not for yourself, you should consider... the palace." Because there were too many people in the tent, Liang Chun did not mention Master Xie directly, but only mentioned the palace, but Xiao Huan also knew who he was talking about.
Xie Ling...
Repeating the name in his mind, he closed his eyes slightly before opening them.
"That's what I thought, so I made this decision."
"I must personally go to the frontline this time. If the Xiongnu find out that the person on the battlefield is a substitute, have you ever thought about how it will affect morale?"
"If an emperor like me is afraid of death, how can any soldier dare to fight to the death? There is no need to talk about this matter any more."
The generals looked at each other and swallowed their words.
Xiao Huan waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, because Liang Chun's words just now made him think of Xie Ling again.
If that guy were here, I wonder if he would support me or oppose me?
But no matter what, Xie Ling would worry about him, after all, this guy has always been a coward.
Xiao Huan took a deep breath and looked to his side.
"There's no need to tell the palace about my using myself to lure the enemy."
"Your Majesty..." Liang Chun hesitated a little, and had to respond after meeting His Majesty's gaze.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiao Huan counted the days and said, "I can't go back to accompany him on his birthday this year."
He paused and took out a jade pendant from his waist.
"Take this jade pendant back and ask Xie Ling to open the third compartment in the study."
Liang Chun's pupils shrank slightly when he saw the jade pendant in His Majesty's hand.
This jade pendant... He had always felt that His Majesty and Master Xie had a special relationship, but he never expected that His Majesty would be willing to give this jade pendant to Master Xie.
This jade pendant is not only a relic of your Majesty's biological mother, but also the only token of commanding the Eagle Guard. Whoever holds this jade pendant will be the one to command the Eagle Guard.
It can be said that seeing this jade pendant is like seeing His Majesty.
He was shocked. Xiao Huan knew Liang Chun understood what he meant, and said in a deep voice, "Just protect him."
Liang Chun: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
…
Xie Ling was so dazed that he didn't even realize that it was his birthday.
The Spring Waking of Insects happened to be his birthday, just like in modern times. However, he had been so busy recently that he had forgotten about the empty palace. It was only when Qian Ming reminded him that he remembered.
"Thank you, Master. Before he left, His Majesty told us to hold a good birthday for you."
"I have just asked the imperial kitchen to prepare longevity noodles for lunch."
Xie Ling was a little surprised. He didn't expect that His Majesty had arranged his birthday before leaving. However, at this time, even Xie Ling didn't have the heart to celebrate his birthday. His mind was full of the front line.
"Tongzi, why haven't you heard from His Majesty for so long?"
It has been a long time since the last message.
The system shook its head.
He came back to his senses and looked at Qian Ming: "Xiao Qian, don't bother me. I'll just have a bowl of longevity noodles. I'm not that hungry today."
Knowing that Master Xie was worried about His Majesty, Qian Ming had no choice but to let Master Xie do as he pleased.
Xie Ling had originally planned to deal with it this way, but who knew that in the evening, he saw Lord Liang returning from Yinshan.
The Eagle Guard Commander respectfully handed the jade pendant in his hand to Master Xie, and kept in mind the words of His Majesty.
"Thank you, Master. His Majesty said that if you are not asleep, you can go to the study and open the third compartment of the secret compartment."
The third grid in the secret compartment?
Xie Ling felt a little strange, but he really wasn't sleepy anymore.
I didn't think much about it, but who knew that His Majesty would ask Lord Liang to bring something over.
He thanked Lord Liang, not noticing Liang Chun's hesitant expression when he looked at the jade pendant in his palm. Thinking that His Majesty had not given him any instructions, Liang Chun swallowed his words.
After Xie Ling walked into the study, he was somewhat surprised that His Majesty had hidden something in this room where they stayed every day. He couldn't help but look around and finally found the third secret compartment next to the drawer.
After rotating, a small cabinet pops out.
He looked suspicious: "Tongzi, guess what it is?"
The system was ready to act: "Take it out and you'll know."
Xie Ling reached into the cabinet and fumbled for a long time, but he pulled out something that seemed to be made of wood. The feel of the wood made him pause for a moment, and then he pulled it out and found that it was indeed made of wood.
——is a lifelike wood sculpture.
And one can tell at a glance that the sculpture is of him.
Xie Ling was stunned for a moment: When did Your Majesty carve this?
How come he doesn't know?
He tightened the wood carving and found a piece of paper next to the statue. There was only one sentence on it: "Happy Birthday", which was obviously prepared for him a long time ago.
Although he was not around, Xie Ling did not expect that His Majesty would start preparing a birthday gift for him so early.
The signature on this wood carving is "Li Qiu".
So, Your Majesty started carving this wood sculpture in the fall? His heart skipped a beat, and Xie Ling's hands holding the wood sculpture seemed to be burning. Suddenly he realized:
"Wait a minute, Tongzi, do you think His Majesty has already liked me?"
