Chapter 38 Regent vs. Little Emperor (9)
Chapter 38 Regent vs. Little Emperor (9)
After taking a bath, Li Xing lay on the bed alone, but he couldn't fall asleep. He always felt like something was missing. He had only slept with the Regent in his arms for two days, so why couldn't he sleep alone? He had clearly slept alone all these years.
Li Xing didn't understand what was wrong with him. Could it be that he was really old enough? Maybe he should choose a queen, but he felt uneasy when he thought that the person sleeping next to him was not the regent.
Li Xing tossed and turned until the third watch but still couldn't fall asleep. After thinking it over, he got up and walked to the side hall, thinking that he would just go to see how the Regent was sleeping. It was called a side hall, but in fact it was only a short distance away from the main hall. When he walked to the side hall, Li Xing saw the Regent sleeping soundly. He was a little angry for a moment. He couldn't sleep at night, but the Regent was sleeping so soundly.
Maybe he was so angry that he was confused, but when he woke up, he was already lying next to the Regent. Li Xing couldn't believe it but couldn't bear to leave, so he fell asleep in this chaotic state of mind.
When he woke up, it was already the next morning. Li Xing looked at the hand that he was holding the Regent and just wanted to escape before the Regent woke up. However, things did not go as he wished. Just as he was about to get up, the Regent woke up.
Yun Shen: "Your Majesty, why are you on my bed? If I remember correctly, I have moved to the side hall."
Li Xing was in a panic and could only make up nonsense: "Maybe, I was too tired yesterday and my soul separation syndrome broke out."
He didn't even find a good excuse, saying he was sleepwalking. Yun Shen just thought it was funny, but he continued with a serious face, "How come I didn't know that Your Majesty was suffering from soul separation syndrome?"
Li Xing: "Of course I am afraid that the Regent will worry. To be honest, I still need someone to watch over me because of my illness. The Regent should move back to live with me. Otherwise, if I have a seizure and go somewhere else, I will inevitably be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."
Li Xing felt that he was very smart. He could not only explain his bed-climbing, but also find an excuse to get the Regent to move back.
Yun Shen: "In that case, I will obey your order."
Li Xing felt relieved, packed up and went to court, and Yun Shen also went.
When it was time to go to court, the young emperor felt extremely satisfied when he saw the regent standing below. Although he wanted to sideline the regent, he still had to save face and not let the ministers see any clues. Li Xing found an excuse for his behavior and felt more at ease.
After the court session, Li Xing did not go to the imperial study, but returned to the bedroom to wait for Yun Shen. When Yun Shen came back, he saw the little emperor sitting in the room waiting for him.
Yun Shen: "Your Majesty didn't go to the Imperial Study today?"
Li Xing cleared his throat twice and said, "I came to see if the Regent has obeyed your order."
Yun Shen approached Li Xing and leaned down to whisper in his ear, "Your Majesty, why do you want me to move back and live with you so much?"
Li Xing managed to steady his tone: "I am afraid that someone with ulterior motives will find out about my illness and use it to tamper with it. I am doing this for the stability of Dali."
Yun Shen stood up and said with a slightly disappointed tone: "Oh, I thought Your Majesty was reluctant to let me go."
Li Xing: "What nonsense are you talking about, Regent? You and I are both men."
Yun Shen: "Your Majesty, who said that men can't like men? To be honest with you, I like men."
Li Xing was shocked by this and it took him a long time to regain his composure. "What nonsense is the Regent talking about?"
Yun Shen retracted his frivolous tone and replied seriously: "Your Majesty, I am not joking. I really like men. Your Majesty, do you still want me to move back?"
Li Xing thought it was impossible at first, because in his previous life, the Prince Regent clearly married Bai Yue as his Princess Regent. Bai Yue was a real woman and there was no way she was fake. But looking into Yun Shen's eyes, he really couldn't say the word "deception".
Li Xing was already so absorbed in the words "The Regent King likes men" that his mind was almost paralyzed, but he still subconsciously replied: "I asked you to move back to the main hall for my safety and for Dali. It has nothing to do with whether the Regent King likes men or women. Please move quickly, Regent King. I will go to handle official business first."
Yun Shen looked at Li Xing's back and smiled. The little wolf cub never forgot to seek benefits for himself, even if he forgot everything else.
333: ...I am really speechless. Li Xing is simply falling into the trap set by the host and doesn't want to get out of it at all. Not to mention the blood feud, I really doubt that even if they were to find a world where they were on opposite sides, that person would not do anything to the host. It is impossible for them to turn against each other. Obviously nothing happened, so how could their feelings be so deep? It seems that its emotion simulator is still not advanced enough and it needs to be upgraded again.
How could 333 understand that some people seem the hardest to impress, but once someone opens an entrance, it will be out of control. Yun Shen and Gu Xinghe in the previous world seemed to have nothing thrilling to do except blocking the knife, but Gu Xinghe's long-lasting and meticulous care was the key to melting Yun Shen's heart later.
Li Xing, who returned to the imperial study, really couldn't calm down this time. He thought about his rebirth. If the regent liked men, if there had never been a person like Bai Yue, then would he not have to stand against the regent?
This discovery made Li Xing very happy. Isn't it said that dreams are the opposite of reality? Everything that is happening now is different from what is happening in dreams. The Regent did not agree to the selection of a concubine, and he handed over the military order in front of all the officials and voluntarily entered the palace to be imprisoned by him. Perhaps he should believe the Regent.
After figuring all this out, and thinking about the fact that the Regent liked men, Li Xing not only did not feel disgusted, but instead began to think about how men could be together.
Li Xing thought of an emperor in the previous dynasty who liked men and ordered people to draw a lot of picture albums on this subject. It seemed that the books were kept in the study. To ask why the books were placed here, we have to talk about the emperor who liked men. He was so ostentatious that other emperors followed suit. Later, it evolved into a symbol exclusive to the emperor. Every emperor would marry several male concubines until the previous dynasty fell.
His father had never been interested in men and had never married a male concubine, so he did not continue this custom. However, the picture albums and books on that subject were still included in the imperial study and became a symbol of imperial power.
Li Xing had only heard his father mention him before, but had never seen him and had never been interested in him. But now, thinking that the Regent liked men, he became curious.
Li Xing followed his memory and flipped through the books and picture albums. He didn't know what mood he was in when he opened them. Then, the little emperor, who had always been diligent and caring for the people, did not review any memorials that afternoon, but instead read through all those informal books and picture albums.
As the sun set and the dusk gradually darkened, the emperor was shocked to realize that he had been reading for the entire afternoon and even forgot to review the memorials. After feeling guilty, he began to think of the descriptions between men and unconsciously brought the regent into his mind.
When the little emperor realized what he was thinking, his face turned red. How could he have such dirty thoughts? Those books must be too obscene and there was a reason why they were sealed up.
But for some reason the images in those books and picture albums can never be erased.
