TPATTHU Chapter 66
by VolareChapter 66: Why not personally bear one for me, how about it?
Tender kisses lingered between lips and teeth, Shen Zhejiang wearily opened his eyes slightly, only to see Xiao Zhinian already dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, bowing his head to kiss him.
Perhaps thinking he was in a dream, he didn’t restrain himself, raising his neck slightly to respond to Xiao Zhinian.
“Mmm…”
The intertwined breaths were especially scalding.
Xiao Zhinian finally reluctantly let him go, leaning close to his ear, yearning and whispering, “If Teacher continues to entice me like this, I fear the morning court will have to be skipped.”
Half-awake, Shen Zhejiang was still somewhat muddled, not quite understanding Xiao Zhinian’s words.
Xiao Zhinian smiled, raising his hand to cover Shen Zhejiang’s watery eyes, still veiled with a layer of hazy sleepiness, and couldn’t help but kiss him again: “Teacher was exhausted last night, the hour is still early, sleep a little longer, wait for me to return from court and we’ll have breakfast together.”
“…Mmm.”
Shen Zhejiang didn’t know if he heard him clearly or not, but he really did close his weary eyes, turned over, and lay on his side on the inside of the bed.
Xiao Zhinian tucked the quilt around him, gave Liu Bao a few more instructions, and then got up to leave.
Until the faint sunlight outside the window gradually turned bright, spilling in through the window paper, leaving only a short, brilliant shadow on the window lattice, Shen Zhejiang slowly woke up.
Reaching out to his side, there was no warmth left from the person who had been there, Shen Zhejiang sat up rubbing his temples, and as soon as he moved, he felt sore all over, very uncomfortable.
However, compared to the shyness of the first time, this time made Shen Zhejiang feel incomparably sweet, like two people who had revealed their hearts, able to do those things unconstrained and naturally.
Xiao Zhinian was wild, yet gentle, assertive, yet patient, giving him everything over and over again, leaving possessive marks on his body.
Shen Zhejiang liked it very much.
It turned out that such a youth could belong to him from body to heart.
“Shen Zhejiang, you’re awake.”
Liu Bao’s voice came from outside the curtain, interrupting Shen Zhejiang’s thoughts.
He realized that he was actually savoring those evocative fragments of last night, and couldn’t help but blush for a moment.
“What time is it now?”
“Replying to Shen Zhejiang, it’s almost noon.”
It was already so late.
Shen Zhejiang hurriedly composed himself, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Unexpectedly, upon lifting the gauze curtain, he was met with a row of palace servants standing guard beside the bed, some holding washing utensils, others holding newly sewn clothes, all quietly bowing their heads in waiting.
What a big scene.
“……”
Shen Zhejiang was horrified, pursing his lips without saying a word.
They wouldn’t have been waiting here since early morning, would they?
Liu Bao hurriedly stepped forward to support him: “His Majesty has not yet returned from the morning court, this servant will first serve Shen Zhejiang to wash up, quickly.”
The palace servants received the order and became active.
“I’ll do it myself,” After three years in Luo City, Shen Zhejiang had long been accustomed to taking care of himself, so he said softly, “No need to serve, you may all withdraw.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bao knelt down first, and the palace servants behind him all knelt down before him, giving Shen Zhejiang a great fright.
His hand trembled: “What are you doing?”
Liu Bao said with a mournful face: “His Majesty specifically instructed before leaving to serve Shen Zhejiang well, not to have the slightest mishap, has this servant done something to displease Teacher, that Teacher wants to drive us away? If His Majesty finds out, he will definitely severely punish us.”
The palace servants said in unison: “Please forgive us, Teacher!”
“You…” Shen Zhejiang didn’t know how Xiao Zhinian had spoken to them, scaring them into such a state, he sighed and said, “Forget it, come on then.”
“Yes!”
Liu Bao’s face lit up with joy, and he directed the palace servants to begin.
More than half an hour later, Shen Zhejiang stood in front of the bronze mirror, the man in the mirror was handsome and elegant, with delicate features, the crescent-white, front-buttoned Chinese garment embroidered with delicate bamboo patterns suited him unexpectedly well, setting off his entire person as refined and elegant, his dark hair crowned, making him appear even more dignified.
Liu Bao held up the waist belt with both hands, just about to tie it for Shen Zhejiang, when he heard him say: “I’ll do this.”
He reached out to take it, but at this moment, a hand with distinct joints reached over, taking it one step ahead of him.
The waistband fluttered.
Shen Zhejiang followed the hand with his gaze, Xiao Zhinian didn’t know when he had returned, and no one had announced it, his footsteps were also very slow, until this moment, he had only just noticed.
Xiao Zhinian waved his hand, dismissing Liu Bao to the side, a warm smile on his lips, he walked behind Shen Zhejiang and said, “Dressing and adorning, these strenuous tasks, let me serve Teacher.”
He was almost whispering in Shen Zhejiang’s ear, his tone was very ambiguous, the warm breath brushed against Shen Zhejiang’s earlobe, blowing on the side of his neck, which was already a little red.
“I…”
His waist was suddenly encircled, cutting off Shen Zhejiang’s words.
Xiao Zhinian tied his waist belt while deliberately teasing Shen Zhejiang, so he teased: “Teacher’s shy appearance is exactly the same as last night, I like it very much.”
There were still so many people present, yet Xiao Zhinian was so shameless, openly teasing him.
It was simply outrageous.
Shen Zhejiang was so ashamed and angry that he gritted his teeth and warned in a low voice: “If you say another word, I’ll move out of the palace.”
“Alright, alright, I won’t say it,” Xiao Zhinian said repeatedly, fastening the waist belt, but was reluctant to let go, he gently kissed Shen Zhejiang’s temple, looking at the bronze mirror that reflected their two figures, and smiled, “If I can be with Teacher like this day and night, even if I die, I would be willing.”
The figures of the two people in the mirror overlapped, their souls embracing, as if the rest of their lives were long, and they could comfort each other in this way.
Shen Zhejiang also looked, thinking of something, and said slowly: “Yan Country’s realm needs you.”
Xiao Zhinian said: “How can the realm be more important than Teacher, I only want Teacher in this lifetime, I don’t like anyone else.”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Shen Zhejiang broke free from him, his expression quite serious, “The continuation of offspring, the prosperity of the nation, is the heavy responsibility of a ruler.”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhinian was stunned, his voice carrying some grievance: “Oh, so Teacher has the same thoughts as those pedantic officials, could it be that you are willing to watch me enjoy flowers and drink wine with someone else?”
“……”
Shen Zhejiang didn’t know what to feel.
He naturally didn’t want to.
Selfishly so, but if Xiao Zhinian had no heir, what would happen in the future?
Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Zhinian guessed his thoughts and continued to ask: “If Teacher was the ruler of this vast territory, for the sake of the nation, would Teacher be willing to abandon me and marry someone else?”
“Of course not.” Shen Zhejiang replied without hesitation.
“I am the same as Teacher, since you are unwilling, then don’t persuade me like those nagging ministers,” Xiao Zhinian sighed, hugged Shen Zhejiang, his eyes turned, carrying a mischievous smile, “If Teacher wants, why not personally bear one for me, how about it?”
As he spoke, his hand touched Shen Zhejiang’s lower abdomen.
