His Majesty Li Er wanted to refute, but could not find any good excuse.
The fact was that he was so scared that he couldn't sleep well, and if he still wanted to sleep well, he had to rely on Su Chen's help.
"Ahem, now we have almost found the crux of the problem. I will ask you to keep watch for me one more time tonight."
"If all this is related to you as suspected, then I will put a portrait of you on the door and it will become troublesome for you to run around."
When Su Chen heard the words "portraits on the door", he almost became so angry that he wanted to go home directly.
He feels that this world is too confusing.
He obviously didn't do anything, but he actually wanted to steal the business of Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde and act as a doorkeeper for them?
When thinking of the portraits of these two brothers that were circulated in later generations, the corners of Su Chen's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He is obviously a handsome young man, but if he is painted into a terrifying image of smoke and fangs like them, then where will his old face be left in the future...
no!
There’s nothing I can say about this doorkeeper and I can’t just take it for granted!
Since Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde are not murderous enough, let Li Jing give it a try in a few days!
After continuing to drink and chat with His Majesty Li Er for a while, Su Chen spent a day playing in Chang'an City in the company of Princess Changle.
In the evening, as usual, we will meet His Majesty Li Er in his palace.
Different from the past, this time Su Chen directly arranged for Li Chunfeng's Taoist performance and the two door gods Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde, leaving him alone to keep vigil for His Majesty Li Er.
"Well, if the problem is with me, then I won't really want to be the doorkeeper for Li Er, right?"
In front of His Majesty Li Er's palace, Su Chen looked sad and felt very sad.
We feel bitter in our hearts, but we just say it and don’t say it!
After watching His Majesty Li Er walk into the palace with a glowing face, Su Chen sighed lightly and without saying anything else, he went straight to his recliner, covered himself with a blanket, and prepared to have a good sleep.
Huh, uh, uh...
In Su Chen's ears, besides the cold winter wind, there was the sound of burning candles.
Just when Su Chen was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt his chest sink, as if something was touching him.
Su Chen opened his eyes and saw that it was Mei Niang who was helping him cover the slipped blanket again.
"Um?
How did you come?"
Su Chen said in a daze.
"Duke Protector, you're awake!"
Seeing Su Chen wake up, Mei Niang's eyes suddenly flashed with panic, she quickly stood up and said: "I'm sorry, Lord Protector, it was my slave who disturbed your dreams, please punish me, Lord Protector."
Seeing Mei Niang's frightened deer-like appearance, Su Chen felt very funny.
"You little girl, why do you make me look like a bad person?"
Su Chen sat up and looked at Mei Niang.
Seeing Su Chen's gaze, Mei Niang felt even more shy, and her little head almost dropped to her chest.
"Ah sneeze!"
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, and Mei Niang sneezed coldly.
"You girl, it's so cold. Why don't you put on more clothes? You're getting cold."
Seeing that Mei Niang was cold, Su Chen frowned, got down from the recliner, and wrapped Mei Niang in a blanket.
"Ah, Protector... Protector of the Country..."
Frightened by Su Chen's sudden intimate move, Mei Niang was at a loss and didn't know what to say.
In fact, it's not that Mei Niang doesn't want to wear more warm clothes, but the rules in the palace don't allow it.
According to the rules, the clothes of palace maids like Mei Niang are strictly controlled every year. They only have two sets of winter and summer clothes, plus a spare change.
The rules in the palace are strict, and even if Mei Niang is from a royal family, there is no way she will break the rules.
"Thank you Lord Protector for your concern. I just sneezed accidentally and didn't feel cold."
Mei Niang wanted to break free from the blanket, but found that she was firmly restrained by Su Chen's big hands, and finally had to give up her struggle.
"How do you like the arithmetic booklet I gave you last time?"
Su Chen suddenly asked.
"Reporting to the Lord Protector, I have read almost everything and have mastered the basic knowledge."
Mei Niang replied quickly.
During this time of chatting with Mei Niang, Su Chen's sleepiness had subsided a lot, and it was probably difficult to fall asleep again.
"ah!"
In Mei Niang's panicked eyes, Su Chen directly picked her up and put her on the recliner, no matter how hard she struggled.
Then, Su Chen lay down on the recliner himself.
"You don't need to say, I will know whether it's cold outside or not, so I'll just let you lie down here.
"Su Chen said without any doubt.
Originally, Mei Niang wanted to get off the recliner quickly, but when she heard Su Chen say this, she suddenly felt a little at ease, so she lay quietly on the side of the recliner.
This recliner was specially built by Su Chen. It is very large. Even if two people lie down together, they will not feel crowded.
Mei Niang lay timidly in the corner, with only her little head exposed and looking at Su Chen.
Su Chen turned his head and asked, "Did you also come here last night?"
Mei Niang did not speak, but nodded gently.
I knew it……
Sighing helplessly in his heart, Su Chen didn't know what to say about this little girl Mei Niang.
Obviously she is younger than him and needs more care from others, but she always pretends to be strong, as if she can take down the whole world.
In this regard, Su Chen didn't want to say anything more, but just felt a little pity for this silly girl.
"If you have any questions about the things in that arithmetic booklet, just ask me and I will tell you the answer."
Su Chen changed the subject and said.
"Reporting to the Lord Protector, there is nothing wrong with this slave."
Mei Niang said in a low voice.
"no problem?"
Hearing this, Su Chen was very surprised.
You must know that his book was carefully composed by him. It cannot be said to be very difficult, but it is enough to give some arithmetic celebrities in Datang a headache.
When he first gave Mei Niang this booklet, he just wanted to train her thinking, but to his surprise, she actually learned it herself?
"You really don't have any problems?"
Su Chen asked.
"No."
Seeing Su Chen's serious look, Mei Niang felt very nervous and asked softly: "Duke Protector, did this slave make any mistakes?"
"Don't think too much about it, I just think you are quite talented in this area."
Su Chen explained.
Su Chen did not doubt the authenticity of Mei Niang's words. With his level of knowledge, he only needed to ask a few random questions to detect whether Mei Niang was lying.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Mei Niang's character, she would not be the kind of person who talks big.
