Li Yu: “??”
He glanced at Ji Yujin, yes, the injury on his hand must have affected his brain.
Li Yu smiled slightly, with a calm expression on his baby face. He didn’t even want to ask, so he turned around and left. “I have other things to do, so I’ll leave first. You continue with your work.”
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would rush over and shout into his ear, “What is the big beauty’s purpose? She wants you, an eunuch?! And she loves you so much?! What kind of weird words are these ah? Is he crazy?”
But he didn’t dare, for he was afraid that the Xichang would have an extra handsome and dashing servant, which would be a huge loss for thousands of young girls.
After coming out, he also specifically instructed the eunuchs under him, “Your Lord has a brain injury today, so don’t just casually go bother him, and don’t pay too much attention to what he says either.”
All young eunuchs: “……”
Ji Yujin looked at his back and also let out a “tsk”. The truth is often hurtful.
At night, when Ji Yujin returned, he saw Chu Fengqing’s pair of clear eyes staring at him, eyes full of words and love. He understood.
Chu Fengqing had just finished taking a shower and saw Ji Yujin as soon as he entered the room. He was stunned for a moment. How could he come back so quietly?
Then he took another step back and subconsciously covered his undergarment. His clothes were not finished, and the previous one had not dried yet, so he quietly went to Ji Yujin’s closet to get another set of undergarment. Anyway, he had already worn it once and didn’t care about the second time. The first time was forced by Ji Yujin.
But once Ji Yujin found out, he would inevitably be teased. Besides, the act of secretly wearing someone else’s undergarment… seemed a little difficult to talk about, so he hoped that Ji Yujin would not find out.
The more guilty he felt, the tougher he acted. His eyes were fixed on Ji Yujin to show that he had not done anything strange.
Ji Yujin pursed his lips at the pair of eyes that were staring at him, feeling a headache.
He glanced at Chu Fengqing’s dripping black hair, which had slightly dampened his undergarment. A red ribbon was tied around his snow-white neck, which was faintly visible. He tilted his head, his fox eyes slightly curled upwards, and he coughed softly, “Um… I’ll sleep in the guest room.”
Chu Fengqing was stunned. Is there such a good thing?!
Seeing that he was silent, Ji Yujin said, “Tsk, there’s no good outcome. You should give up as soon as possible.”
Chu Fengqing: “……” No good outcome? Give up?
Chu Fengqing frowned, as if he didn’t quite understand what was said. But after a moment, he understood. Could it be that Ji Yujin had discovered something?
He was indeed using the opportunity of marrying him to find a place to stay for himself. The people who overthrew his father would not let him go, and he didn’t have anyone else to use in the capital, so he had no choice but to do this substitute marriage.
He also wanted to use the identity of Ji Yujin’s wife to find out some information. He was indeed suspected of using Ji Yujin. He originally planned to fake his death after rescuing his father so that his family could completely get rid of the capital, he just wants to stay in the Ji Mansion temporarily.
Ji Yujin had a bad reputation, and he had also prepared for the worst, but…
Chu Fengqing raised his eyes and looked at him. This man seemed to be different from what was rumored, he was not as scary.
He would definitely save his father. Chu Fengqing lowered his eyes and said softly, “Impossible. I won’t give up.”
The cold voice made Ji Yujin wrinkle his nose. “Why are you so stubborn?”
“Then up to you. Just don’t cry when the time comes.” Ji Yujin said as he stepped out of the door. Perhaps he didn’t even notice that the corners of his eyes were slightly raised with a flickering light.
Chu Fengqing looked at his back, frowning. It seemed that his father’s matter was indeed troublesome, and even Ji Yujin found it difficult. And if Ji Yujin discovered his little trick, he didn’t know whether he would turn around and deal with him or not. After all, no one wanted to be used.
He pressed his temple. In the past, he was only immersed in medical books and thought that his life would be dull. He never thought that this day would come.
Ji Yujin came out of the bedroom and saw the two guards jumping up and down. They said, “This weather is really too cold. Without a charcoal stove outside, I feel like I can’t survive.”
Charcoal stove?
Ji Yujin touched his chin. He was healthy and not afraid of the cold. He could survive in February with only a single layer of clothing, so there was no heating equipment in the house. But the little sickly seedlings seemed to be really afraid of the cold. His hands were still frozen like ice, even with a fox fur cape.
He pondered for a moment and walked straight to the outer courtyard. He quite liked the East Courtyard. If that sickly seedling was frozen to death, it would be troublesome to clean up.
When Steward Mo saw Ji Yujin coming to look for him personally, he thought something big had happened and hurried over to him. “Master, what can the servant do for you?”
Ji Yujin: “Is there anything you can use to keep warm? What do you all use to keep warm in the winter?”
Steward Mo was stunned, not understanding what he meant by asking this, but he still replied respectfully: “Inside the house, there are mostly charcoal stoves and bedding that are more suitable for keeping warm. Outside the house, there are commonly seen hand warmers, hot water bottles, etc.”
Ji Yujin let out an “En”, and said in a generous tone, “Prepare a copy of all of them and send them to the little… ahem, Madam’s room in the East Courtyard.”
Chu Fengqing found a dry cloth and wiped his hair. In the cold winter, wet hair stuck to his body like ice blades, pricking him painfully. It was also difficult to wipe it dry. His lips, which had just turned slightly red after soaking in the hot spring, turned pale again. Although the windows in the room were closed, but for some reason he always felt that the temperature in the room was not as good as that outside.
At this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
Steward Mo entered with a group of maids, each holding a charcoal stove, a hot water bottle, a hand warmer… In short, all the items that could keep out the cold were brought up.
Under Chu Fengqing’s puzzled gaze, Steward Mo said, “These are all arranged by the Master. There is also a silk quilt, which is the best for keeping warm.”
As soon as the charcoal was lit, the room instantly became warm. After putting down the things, Steward Mo left. Chu Fengqing squinted his eyes in comfort. He leaned on the small couch and wiped his hair a few times before stopping. He had never liked to twist his hair since he was a child. In the past, Chang Wang would help him. Now that Chang Wang was not around, he was too lazy to do it. Anyway, there was a charcoal stove, and it would dry up by itself in a short while.
The charcoal stove was burning very vigorously. Chu Fengqing felt drowsy. He forced himself to read a book but accidentally fell asleep.
He was woken up after sleeping for only a short while. He opened his eyes a little and saw Ji Yujin in the candlelight, dressed in red, wiping his hair with a handkerchief. He muttered softly, “Are you a pig? If you catch a cold again tomorrow, Ye will laugh at you to death.”
There was a thick layer of calluses on Ji Yujin’s palms, which would occasionally accidentally rub against his skin, which was a bit prickly but very warm.
Somehow, Chu Fengqing slowly closed his eyes. Ji Yujin should be a terrifying existence to him, but now he feels that this killing god is a little… gentle.
But after a while, he lost his composure. Ji Yujin tugged at his undergarment and said with a smile, “I was wondering why I have fewer and fewer clothes. It turns out there’s a little thief in the mansion.”
Chu Fengqing opened his eyes suddenly and looked directly into a pair of teasing eyes. His snow-white cheeks were instantly stained with blood color.
Who is Ji Yujin? He is the chief eunuch of the Xichang. He was born to be engaged in assassination and murder. His insight is terrifying. He noticed the slightest change in Chu Fengqing’s breathing and knew that he had woken up.
He poked his tongue against his cheek, looking smug, and was unyielding in his words: “What? Are you even addicted to wearing it?”
Chu Fengqing gritted his teeth and said, “I’m not… I’m just borrowing yours to wear.”
Ji Yujin: “Didn’t you refuse to wear it even if you were beaten to death yesterday?”
Chu Fengqing turned his head away in embarrassment, his earlobes all red, but his voice was still clear and cold. “That one is dirty, and there is no replacement for it.”
“Little dirty ghost, even afraid of getting dirty?”
There was nothing wrong with Chu Fengqing’s appearance, except that he was too cold and aloof, which made people dare not approach him. But now he was completely different, and his eyes were surprisingly bright. He was leaning on the couch, and Ji Yujin’s undergarment was a lot too big for him. When he pulled the clothes at the chest, they slipped down a little, revealing a trace of watercolor, which made his snow-white skin look a little pink. Ji Yujin then understood how this person got the title of first beauty in the capital.
Too much fun.
Ji Yujin clenched his fist, looked down at his lower body, his eyes widened slightly, and he let out a low scold.
He immediately let go of the other party’s hand, took two steps back, his face suddenly darkened, he looked at Chu Fengqing in disbelief, and then quickly left the room.
Chu Fengqing looked at his back in confusion, then looked at the handkerchief that fell to the ground. After thinking about it for a while, he reached out and picked it up. There was no embroidery on the handkerchief, except for a very small word embroidered in the corner: Ji.
The next day, neither of them mentioned this matter tacitly.
But Ji Yujin seemed to have changed his temperament. He suddenly spoke coldly to him, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips and didn’t say anything rashly. The two of them finished their breakfast in silence.
Just when Ji Yujin was about to go out, Chu Fengqing suddenly called him and asked tentatively, “I want to go out for a while, is that alright?”
Ji Yujin paused slightly and then said “en” coldly without even looking at him. Compared with the scene under the candlelight yesterday, he was like two different people.
Chu Fengqing was puzzled, but it didn’t matter. This way of getting along between the two was normal.
The clothes that the Imperial Garment Bureau originally said would take three days to deliver were finally delivered shortly after breakfast.
The undergarments, dresses, and cloaks were all in good condition, and the colors were mostly light. Chu Fengqing breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn’t have to wear Ji Yujin’s clothes secretly anymore, and he also didn’t have to wear that wedding dress all the time.
Chu Fengqing changed into a moon-white long skirt and put on a fox fur coat. This time the fox fur coat was snow-white all over, not as eye-catching as the red one.
The maid helped him tie up his hair, and she wanted to bring some jewelry originally, but when she picked up the earrings, she found that the madam didn’t have pierced ears. She was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the mirror, only to find that the madam was staring at her. Her hands trembled slightly.
The author has something to say:
Ji Yujin lowered his head. Eunuch is too pitiful, he couldn’t even say “F*ck” and could only curse.
