I never expected that after a long and anxious wait, this sentence would finally come.
Take a shower and go to sleep!
In fact, this can be regarded as Xia Yan's most classic mantra.
It's so simple that just four words combine a variety of emotions.
When he is happy, these words actually mean he goes to sleep.
When he is angry, it is forgiveness.
When he was helpless, he was perfunctory.
When he is emotional, it is an invitation.
Anyway, it has many meanings, but this time I couldn't understand it.
Even I couldn't stand what I had done at the banquet before. How could Xia Yan remain indifferent?
We followed him to the bedroom anxiously. The old housekeeper was very knowledgeable. After knowing Xia Yan's true identity, he quickly made a double bed for us to rest. He even secretly stuffed red dates, longan and lotus seeds in the innermost part of the bed. Unfortunately,
Yes, all the housekeeper’s hard work was eaten up by my boredom at night.
The next day, Xia Yan had breakfast with me as if nothing was wrong, and then arranged the time for the next stop.
Next stop we will go to the State of Qi to discuss the issue of surrender with the King of Qi.
From the beginning to the end, Xia Yan never mentioned that I caused a big banquet. In the eyes of others, Xia Yan's love for me has reached the extreme. Even Xiao Qi sighed, this is not like something that an imperial brother can do. I asked him
Why not? Xiao Qi said, Brother Huang’s style is not like this.
Of course I know Xia Yan's style. He understands everything very clearly. Love is love and country is country. The two will never cross the boundary.
This exception not only surprised me, but also shocked everyone.
Two days later, my Uncle Wang sent me a lot of gifts, saying that he wanted to apologize to me. What happened at the banquet was probably due to drinking too much and talking nonsense, so I should not take it to heart.
Without Xia Yan, I would not have seen this gift, but Xia Yan and my uncle Wang signed a treaty of submission, and it has been announced to the world, so I accepted all the gifts and presented them in front of the person who sent them.
He smiled slightly, thinking that this detail would definitely be captured by the little official who was very good at observing people's words and told Uncle Wang.
But my worries haven't disappeared yet. Xia Yan's nonchalance made me even more uneasy.
The night before I left, I really couldn't bear the many doubts in my heart, so I opened my front and confronted Xia Yan.
"Tell me what you want to do!"
Xia Yan was looking at the road map behind the desk. He was startled by my sudden words. But after all, this person was Xia Yan. A little fright was nothing to him. He quickly returned to his normal expression and looked at him in confusion.
Looking at me: "What's wrong?"
Look, here we are, and he still seems to be fine.
After I poured out the questions I had been holding in for three days and four hours, I felt extremely comfortable. Looking at Xia Yan, whose expression had not changed at all, I said, "Tell me why?"
"what why?"
I wondered if there was something wrong with my expression just now, and when I was thinking about whether to repeat what I just said in a simpler and more straightforward way, Xia Yan changed his posture: "Do you want to ask me why I have indulged you until now?
"
The words are crude but not crude. Although I feel uncomfortable with the word indulgence, the meaning is this.
I nodded.
Xia Yan thought for a while and said leisurely: "Do you want me to treat you the same way I treat my subordinates?"
