Ji Ling stretched out her index finger to wipe the water droplets.
Yin instinctively stepped back slightly, frowned, and then pulled Ji Ling into his arms.
Ji Ling looked up at him. He was dressed in plain white underwear, which made his face as cold as mist. Although his expression was a little lazy, there was a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes.
She had just used hot water when washing her face. Now that she calmed down, she felt the water vapor on her skin evaporate little by little, and it felt a little cooler. She couldn't help but put her hands into her sleeves and put her arms around Yin's waist.
, burying his face in Yin's chest.
Yin noticed it, so he moved a little further inside, lifted up some quilts and covered Ji Ling.
He put one hand around Ji Ling's back, patted her, and whispered: "Since I promised you, I will come to see you whenever I can."
Yin paused and said: "Since I have made a promise, I will definitely fulfill it."
Ji Ling closed her eyes slightly and just nodded.
Yin saw that the smile on her face was particularly sweet and gentle tonight, almost overflowing. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, and held her hand tightly with his backhand.
Neither of them spoke, and the back room was quiet for a while. Yin didn't say much, but lowered his head and kissed Ji Ling lightly on the cheek.
Ji Ling shuddered and reached out to hug Yin's shoulders.
Yin smiled, lowered his head and rubbed her cheek gently together, letting the candlelight in the room gradually become ambiguous.
…
The sky was covered with clouds for most of the night.
When the dawn light was slightly hazy, Ji Ling opened her eyes on the pillow and looked out the window. Through the window pane, she could see a pale white crescent moon hanging in the sky.
She turned her head and looked at Yin beside the pillow.
Yin frowned deeply in his sleep, as if he could not get a moment of relaxation even in his dream.
Ji Ling stared at his eyebrows for a while, then gently stretched out his fingers, stared at Yin's side face, and drew a smooth curve in the void along the bridge of Yin's nose. Yin's nose bridge was high and straight, but his lips were very thin.
.
Ji Ling's fingers stopped above the lips, and a thought suddenly crossed his mind for no reason: I heard that men with thin lips are ruthless. Is this true or not?
She rolled her eyes and slowly retracted her fingers.
After having a lot of love last night, both of them were so tired that they fell asleep directly. Ji Ling didn't expect that he would wake up earlier than Yin Neng. At this time, he grabbed the collar of his plain white undershirt and felt that last night's
The sweat was soaked on his neck, making it sticky and uncomfortable. He wanted to get up and wash up, but he was afraid of waking Yin.
Just when she was thinking this, Yin turned over and finally slowly opened her eyes.
He had just woken up, and his eyes did not have the usual vigilance and indifference. He just looked at the top of the bed tent with a bit of confusion, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "What time is it?".
Ji Ling rubbed her eyes. Based on the skylight, she already had experience in judging time. She just smiled and said: "It's time for the emperor to get up and go to court."
After Ji Ling finished speaking, he got up and got out of bed. Unexpectedly, as soon as his feet touched the ground and before he exerted any effort, he felt a soreness somewhere in his waist.
She said "Oh" and almost fell to her knees under the bed.
Seeing this, Yin picked her up by the waist, pushed her down on the bed again, pinched her cheeks, kissed her forehead, and said softly: "Have a rest! You don't need to be there.
Serve with your own hands."
After he finished speaking, he covered Ji Ling with a quilt, and then called his servants to come in and wash him.
After Yin left, Ji Ling was indeed tired, but she was covered in sweat and couldn't sleep. Qixi and Bixue half-supported her, wiped her body with a hot towel, and changed her into a clean undergarment.
While Ji Ling opened his hands and let Qixi do this, he rested his head on her shoulder.
The girl Qixi was really attentive. Seeing that Ji Ling was sweating a lot, she touched the mat surface and then Ji Ling's hand. Fang frowned and complained: "Master sweated at night, and now he is sweating again."
I just broke out in a sweat, if I just sleep on this mat, I might get sick from sleeping on it!".
She raised her head and told Bixue: "There is a thin spring and summer cotton quilt in the fourth compartment from the bottom of the east cabinet. Go get it and spread it on the master."
When Bixue spread the mattress, Ji Ling lay down on it. Although her eyes were closed, she still noticed that Qixi was still tucking the corners of the quilt over herself.
Ji Ling turned over in a daze, yawned and said with a smile: "Qixi, you really look like my mother!".
Qixi was bending down to arrange the quilt, but after hearing these words, she was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Master misses your mother's family? I saw the emperor's affection for his master, and now he is different from other people.
, if the master really misses his mother’s family, how about asking for a favor next time when the emperor is happy?”
After she finished speaking, she heard that Ji Ling had stopped moving, and there was only the sound of thin and even breathing.
Bixue smiled and looked at each other with Qixi. The two put down the hook of the bed tent, exited quietly, and closed the door to the back room.
Bixue smiled softly and said in a weak voice: "As long as the emperor stays with us, the master will definitely have to take a nap."
Qixi nodded and said: "Go and see how the preparations are in the dining room right now. The master woke up from his sleep this morning. He will probably be hungry and will probably have breakfast right away."
Bixue nodded, walked lightly and walked outside.
In the dining room, Xiao Dazi is busy. Last night, the noble master sent a message saying that he would have noodles and calamus cake in the morning.
Noodles are easy to prepare. The condiments are prepared at night. The fried shredded mutton is extremely tender. With the side dishes, as long as the news comes from the back room that the master has officially woken up, he can immediately make it.
Put the noodles into the pot.
But it will be difficult to put the calamus cake in the steamer. There is a lot of moisture in the dining room. The most important thing about calamus cake is to eat it right away. If you leave it like this for a while, the cake will inevitably become soft and collapse. The calamus leaf pattern on it will also be
Vague.
When Xiao Lezi saw Bixue coming, she went forward with a smile and said that the smell of fireworks in the dining room was so strong that it made her sister choke. Then came a shower of compliments, which made Bixue very happy and beaming.
gone.
After sending the person away respectfully, Xiao Lezi entered the dining room and saw Xiao Dazi still in front of the stove trying to wrap the basket of calamus cakes with white gauze soaked in cold water, so he half-smiled.
: "Why is that! I'm afraid the master will have to sleep for at least an hour, so you can put it in the cage first."
Xiao Dazi was carrying the drawer basket and was going to walk to the other side of the cooking pot. Hearing what Xiao Dazi said, he stopped again.
Xiao Lezi looked at him and said without any politeness: "The boiling water in the copper kettle needs to be refilled. Go over and have a look."
Xiao Dazi was stunned, pointed at the handy eunuchs, and said, "Isn't there someone still watching?".
Xiao Lezi slowly folded his arms, put his hands on his chest, squinted his eyes and said: "Master is eating, and slaves must pay attention to everything and be careful in everything. Don't think that you can't make progress if you have a rough boss. Xiao Lezi
Da Zi, do you know the prince in the imperial dining room of Yangxin Palace?"
Xiao Dazi shook his head, licked his lips, and said solemnly: "I... don't know."
Xiao Lezi shook his head and smacked his lips and said: "Look at the king's father-in-law, he is also the deputy head of the kitchen. If he speaks up, many of his disciples and grandsons will lie down and watch the stove for him, but he has been serving his master for decades.
, which day did you not personally watch the heat of the soup?"
Outside, Xiao Fenzi was walking past the dining room at this time. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but froze.
