In fact, if Tao doesn't take action on his own, Cheng Xi is also prepared to pay attention to him. After all, no matter how many dogs the other person has, he is still his senior, and he should be returned to his family due to emotion and reason.
He didn't return immediately because he wasn't sure Tao Shiyan really wanted to pay attention to him, or maybe he made a mistake.
After all, the three-time Best Actor took the initiative to follow a little guy who had just debuted for half a year and had just over 2 million fans. How could he think that it was like something in a novel?
But now the other party told him through actions that this matter was true. While Cheng Xi was wondering, he retreated secretly, ready to run away at any time.
His actions were quickly discovered. Tao Shiyan frowned: "Where are you going?"
Cheng Xi: "I just opened that fanfic and didn't even look at it, really!"
Tao Shiyan: "..."
Tao Shiyan suppressed a smile and said, "Listen carefully to my question and then answer it."
"...Oh," Cheng Xi was already desperate, his despair made his face expressionless, "There will be filming tomorrow, I will go back to sleep."
After saying that, Cheng Xi, whose face was shattered, ran out as fast as he could in his life!
Tao Shiyan reacted very quickly, took advantage of his long legs and took two steps forward. He grabbed the boy's wrist with his left hand, supported the wall with his right hand, and slammed him against the wall.
Cheng Xi was trapped between his arm and the wall.
"Why are you running?" Tao Shiyan frowned.
Cheng Xi retreated subconsciously, but there was no way to retreat. He pressed against the wall and said in a fierce tone: "...I, I'm anxious to go back to sleep, I can't!"
It's almost two o'clock in the morning, and it's pitch dark outside. The boys are only wearing thin pajamas, so it's easy to catch a cold.
"Sleep here," Tao Shiyan said. "If you go out and be seen by someone, tomorrow's hot search will be news about our affair."
...How wrong is it for me to have an affair with you? Cheng Xi wanted to refute, but after looking at his own situation, he swallowed his words hard: "...Okay, okay, I won't go out, you let me go."
Tao Shiyan chuckled and finally let him go.
The oppressive breath disappeared, and Cheng Xi took a deep breath. Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to breathe just now, and his lungs were so suffocated that it hurt.
My wrists also hurt.
...No, it's not pain.
He lowered his eyelids and saw that the fabric of his pajamas was wrinkled at his wrists, and the cat pattern was squeezed into an abstract shape, like heated marshmallows.
He shook his hand and found it was hot. The area where he had been scratched was very hot.
There is a side hall in the Yangxin Hall, but the program team thought it would not be used, so they did not make the mattress. In the past two days, Tao Shiyan asked Zhang Jing to make the bed, but Cheng Xi had no shame in occupying other people's bedrooms, so he went there on his own initiative.
The straight-line distance between the side hall and the main hall is about three meters. Because it has not been used by the crew for a long time, the whole room has no human smell. There is only wooden furniture mixed with the smell of trees and grass.
Cheng Xi was lying on the bed with his eyes empty. The shooting these days was very intense and physically demanding, and he felt tired in waves. He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.
Ten minutes later nothing happened, I couldn't sleep, I didn't even feel like sleeping.
This state was very common. He turned over and was about to count the sheep. His chin accidentally touched the cuff of his pajamas and felt a familiar smell.
Raising his hand to smell carefully, he found the source of the smell.
——Comes from the dog that caught him just now.
And strangely enough, when he smelled this smell, his nerves quickly calmed down, and he felt inexplicably relieved and relaxed.
It was as if someone was whispering to him in his ear: "Go to sleep, I'm here."
So he is no longer afraid of the darkness, snakes, insects, rats, ants, demons and monsters lurking in the dark. He can sleep peacefully, knowing that that person will drive away all fear.
Cheng Xi closed his eyes again, but unfortunately a gust of wind blew in and the smell on his clothes was instantly blown away.
Glancing at the dark night outside, my nerves returned to their tense state.
Damn, I can't even sleep.
Cheng Xi scratched his hair irritably and realized that this was not going to happen.
Now that he is with Tao Shiyan, he can find an opportunity to sleep with Tao Shiyan. What will he do if he can? The recording of "Journey" will eventually be finished, and he and Tao Shiyan will eventually part ways.
Have to think of a way.
The most permanent way is to find out the reason why he fell asleep next to Tao Shiyan. Now it is basically certain that it is because of the smell.
So what needs to be done next is to analyze which flavor works.
Cheng Xi lay on the pillow, leaning on his cheek and recalling carefully:
The smell on Tao Shiyan's body was not complicated. It could smell like tobacco, perfume, and maybe dry cleaning agent, laundry detergent, or softener.
Judging from the brands of his clothes, most of them are high-end and need to be returned to the counter or sent to the store for cleaning. Since the brands of cleaning agents used in each store cannot be the same, the third item can be eliminated directly.
Only the first two items remain.
He only needs to find out the brands of perfume and cigarettes, buy them and try them out for himself.
Thinking of the wonderful sleep waving to him not far away, Cheng Xi was so happy that he couldn't help but kick his legs - this was simply the best news he had received in sixteen years besides his debut!
With this understanding, even if he didn't sleep all night, Cheng Xi was happy when he got up after being yelled at by the program crew.
He wanted to sneak back to Songlan Pavilion for breakfast, but Tao Shiyan stopped him. The two of them finished eating in Yangxin Hall, and Tao Shiyan said, "Follow me."
Cheng Xi remembered that the other party said yesterday that he would take him to a place. He followed Tao Shiyan, and when the person in front stopped, he discovered that this was actually the back entrance of Cining Palace.
The place where the Queen Mother lives.
"Can you climb over the wall?" Tao Shiyan asked.
"Yes," Cheng Xi was in a good mood and joked, "You want to teach me how to be bad?"
When he was a student, in the eyes of teachers, climbing over the wall was definitely a label reserved for bad students. Tao Shiyan raised his eyebrows: "Well, I'll take you to skip class and meet your parents."
... He said it as if he was in puppy love. Cheng Xi pinched the tips of his ears and said, "I'll go in first."
As he spoke, he supported the wall with his left hand and jumped in lightly and neatly.
Is there any need to teach? Tao Shiyan paused for a moment and jumped in with him.
When the set of "Journey" was built, no one thought that the guests would be so excited that they would jump off the wall. There was no fixed camera installed in the backyard. When the guests were filming and they disappeared, they wanted to jump in, but it was inconvenient to carry the machine, so they quickly
Requesting assistance from off-site: "Director Liu, please have someone open the back door of Cining Palace. I can't take pictures!"
Director Liu was surprised: "What are you doing at the back door of Cining Palace?"
"Teacher Tao is taking Xiao Cheng to jump in!"
"..." Director Liu wanted to cry.
Tao Shiyan, are you fucking sent by God to defeat me?!!
He immediately contacted the management of the film and television city to open the door, and while waiting, the two men had quietly entered the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Tao Shiyan whispered: "Look for something with the Queen Mother's handwriting."
Although Cheng Xi didn't understand, he knew that now was not the time to ask. The two of them searched separately and finally found a stack of rice paper on the desk.
There are paintings on the rice paper, scriptures copied by the Queen Mother, etc.
The more Cheng Xi read the text, the more familiar it became. When the two met and Tao Shiyan took out Princess Zhao's letter, Cheng Xi understood everything.
——The handwriting of the scriptures is not only familiar, it is exactly the same as the handwriting of the letter!
In other words, the letter in Concubine Zhao’s drawer was not written by herself, but by the Queen Mother!
Cheng Xi was shocked for a while and then asked: "Why did she take the letter written to the late emperor?"
"Did she just get the letter?" Tao Shiyan said.
Yes, there is also the Queen Mother's hairpin. Cheng Xi is even more confused, "She wants to collect materials to lower her head to the Queen Mother?"
I can't find any other reason other than perversion.
Tao Shiyan was speechless for a moment: "You know quite a lot."
After a pause, Tao Shiyan said patiently: "Do you remember the setting of Princess Zhao? She was once the most beautiful woman in the world, and she was the most beloved of the late emperor in the entire harem."
"Remember."
"Then she has no children. Is it normal?"
Cheng Xi seemed to understand something, vaguely grasping the truth but not daring to confirm. His brows were furrowed tightly and his eyes were slightly widened, like a cat trying to figure out where the dried fish was hidden.
"......Fool."
Tao Shiyan looked at him for a few seconds, then raised his index finger and tapped his forehead lightly, "This means that Concubine Zhao does not like the late emperor, but the Queen Mother."
Yes, if this makes sense. Because she likes the Queen Mother, Princess Zhao deliberately did not have children even though she was favored by her alone. Because she likes the Queen Mother, she would rather spend the rest of her life in a desolate garden, reading the letters written by the Queen Mother to the late emperor every day.
, I miss the Queen Mother’s personal belongings and don’t want to return to my mother’s house.
In ancient times, childless concubines usually became monks or returned to their mother's house after the death of the emperor. It was much better to have family support than to stay alone in the palace.
But she didn't want to leave.
There are people she loves here.
Cheng Xi suddenly understood and asked in a low voice: "Then what should we do? Should we tell the Queen Mother?"
Tao Shiyan raised his eyelids: "I thought you would ask me why girls can like girls."
Hearing this, Cheng Xi was startled. He had been hanging out with Zhao Xiaotao, who was gay for so long, and was forced to eat Tao Shiyan's melons. It was easy for him to understand the feelings between same-sex people.
It is indeed a bit strange that it is so well accepted.
He wanted to defend himself, but before he could say anything, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the bedroom door!
...Damn it, the Queen Mother is back!
It is a capital crime for a concubine to break into the Queen Mother's palace without permission. Cheng Xi did not forget his identity and turned around to flee, but was stopped by Tao Shiyan.
"No need to leave," Tao Shiyan said quietly, "As long as I'm here, no one dares to touch you."
...Okay, there is actually no way to escape. There are people guarding him outside, so he can only choose to believe in the Dog Emperor.
The Queen Mother quickly broke in through the door and said in a stern tone: "Bold Concubine Cheng, you dare to break into the Ai family's palace without permission. Someone is here!"
"Wait a minute," Tao Shiyan said in a deep voice, "I brought Concubine Cheng here, does the Queen Mother want to arrest her in front of me?"
"Your Majesty, he dared to break into my bedroom today, and he will dare to break into your bedroom tomorrow. He doesn't care about the rules at all. You must show him how powerful he is!"
There is no need to wait for tomorrow, Concubine Cheng had just done it yesterday to break into his bedroom. Tao Shiyan tightened his lips: "The rules of the entire dynasty are set by me, so let me add one more. In this huge harem from now on, Concubine Cheng wants to
You can go wherever you go."
Director Liu, who was monitoring in the background, was slapping his mouth.
In ancient times, King You of Zhou used to play with the princes with beacon fire, but now Emperor Tao changes the rules on the spot.
"..." Where did this foolish king come from? Does the world still want him?
The Queen Mother was really choked, and she said with a straight face: "Okay, since the emperor insists on this, the Ai family will let the concubine go. But he must give the Ai family a legitimate reason to break into the bedroom."
Come on, come on, the assessment is here! Cheng Xi gritted his teeth and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, I am here to investigate the death of Concubine Zhao."
The actor who plays the role of the Queen Mother has good acting skills. He instantly showed three parts vigilance, three parts confusion and four parts sadness in his eyes: "...Have you investigated the truth?"
"Yes," Cheng Xi tentatively said, "Concubine Zhao committed suicide. If I am not mistaken..."
Cheng Xi took a deep breath: "She should have prepared the poison a long time ago. She just wanted to see you for the last time while swimming in the lake, and then left this vast world."
There is no doubt that Cheng Xi's guess was very accurate. Director Liu shouted "f*ck!" and the director who designed the plot burst into tears.
The Queen Mother lowered her eyelids, and no one could clearly see her emotions. After a long time, she raised her head, still looking majestic, and said, "How did you reason?"
Tao Shiyan said: "Isn't it called "Unexpected Journey"? Just think about it in an unexpected direction."
Queen Mother: "."
The Queen Mother held her forehead: "Who reasoned it out first?"
What she said was very clear, points should be calculated based on contribution.
The recording of the second station is coming to an end. As the biggest plot of this station, "The Death of the Dowager" is definitely the level with the highest score.
The current situation is:
Cheng Xi was a noble concubine, and ranked first among the four guests in the harem; Xu Lichu was locked up in the East Palace and pondered for three days without doing anything, and his score was absolutely pitiful; the harem was very stable these days, and all the concubines were alive.
A dragon species was also created, and the mystery was solved. Tao Shiyan's score is probably about the same as Cheng Xi's.
So it's not a competition for six guests now.
And the decisive battle with Cheng Xi and Tao Shiyan.
Cheng Xi did not hesitate and wanted to say it was the emperor, because it was Tao Shiyan who thought of it first.
But the person next to him spoke before him: "It's Concubine Cheng."
"Okay, the Ai family knows."
The Queen Mother was in a hurry to follow the plot and did not pay attention to Cheng Xi's reaction. Her voice was tired: "After being in charge of the harem for decades, the Ai family is tired and it's time to take a rest. Fortunately, the harem is still stable. Concubine Cheng, accept the order——"
"The Ai family has given you the title of queen. From now on, the Tao Dynasty will be both prosperous and devastated with you. I also gave the baby in your belly the word 'Zenian', which means that the blessings will last for thousands of years."
Tao Zenian... don't tell me, it sounds pretty good. Cheng Xi recited it silently twice, and then realized with hindsight -
The plot of the second station ends here, the identity no longer exists, there is no need to name the fetus!!!
What the hell is the dog program team doing? Do they think CP fans don’t write enough material about yellow mosquitoes???
