That time Xiao Fenghuang talked about the topic of "who goes after whom first", and Xing Yi took it to heart. Since then, he has been thinking, if he really wants him to actively pursue someone, what should he do?
He is a person who is almost indifferent when it comes to the wind and moon. He went to see Little Phoenix a few times on business, and when he heard that he wanted to go out to play, he took him out; when Little Phoenix got a sprained foot, he let him stay in his tent.
Take a good rest in the middle, Xiao Fenghuang is well-behaved and sensible, and he doesn't talk much himself. Sometimes the two of them stay like this, and they can't say a word for a whole day.
But just like this, he can make that little guy fall in love with him. Xing Yi was puzzled, and after thinking about it for a long time, he could only come to a conclusion: He was still too stupid to have such good luck, and to be the best pillow person in the world.
If he wants to make up for it, he actually doesn't know how to do it.
After thinking about it, and consulting with many people, I finally settled on the most traditional four words: do what you like.
Whatever Little Phoenix likes, he does it, always making his little princess happier.
After having this idea, Xing Yi mobilized his private power for the first time, and found someone to transport a few carts of cherries from Liaoyang, thousands of miles away.
Little Phoenix likes to eat cherries. This kind of fruit is quite rare in Jiangnan, but Xingyi has tasted it before, and it always feels too sour.
The cherries in the north are ripe in May and June. Once they are picked, they are put in the ice cellar to be frozen. They are sold in autumn and winter and served to dignitaries and nobles to simmer in cherry soup.
Now he has emptied all the inventory in Liaoyang in one go, so many people even came to him to ask for the price, thinking that he was going to do business in private.
The cherries were delivered, and the little phoenix was very happy. Although the quality of the batch of cherries was not very good because they had been frozen for too long, Xiao Fenghuang didn't care about these things when they could eat their favorite food in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month.
He cooks a cup of sweet and sour cherry and lily soup every night, and with this appetizer, he can eat an extra bowl of rice. Xing Yi sometimes accompanies him to drink a bowl, and it's good to taste it occasionally.
He thought that was fine.
He got what Little Phoenix likes to eat, and the rest is other things. Xingyi planned to take Little Phoenix out to play again, but he had not been able to finalize the exact time.
After returning, his official duties were not considered leisurely. Although there were no more important wars in the whole country, he was also in charge of training and raising troops in Jiangling to prepare for the future.
Every day, he gets up before dawn and goes to the wilderness more than ten miles away. He can only come back in the evening. It gets dark early in winter. Every time he comes back, he can see the little phoenix waiting in front of the door with a lamp.
No matter whether there is snow or not, if you are tired of waiting, you will sit on the threshold and look at the sky.
Every time Xing Yi pulled him up, Little Phoenix's hand would definitely be cold. At first, he was afraid that Xiao Fenghuang would catch a cold and catch a cold, so he clearly forbade the servants to let him out again.
As a result, Xiao Fenghuang told him that he had basically never been sick since he was a child, and he had never taken any medicine, and his health was very good. Really great.
Later, Xing Yi himself had a cold and fever, and Xiao Fenghuang gave him a decoction of medicine, watching the fire all night long. After staying up for two consecutive nights, he was still in good spirits. Not only that, Xiao Fenghuang taught him: "Husband, Langzhong told me that you sweat every time you practice, and you have to catch a cold when you ride back in the wind. Don't come back in such a hurry in the future."
Xing Yi said in a hoarse voice: "You don't wait for me, I'll come back slowly."
Xiao Fenghuang looked at him for a while, and thought for a while: "Okay. Then I won't wait for you, so don't be in such a hurry. Come back, I will take a bath there later, change my clothes well, and take a carriage back."
After Xing Yi recovered, thinking about Xiao Fenghuang's promise, after hesitating for a while, he really didn't rush home, but took a good After showering and changing clothes, he and his adjutant took a carriage back to Jiangling City.
The place where they practiced soldiers was on the mountain. In the past, Xingyi rode horses, but he didn't feel that the journey was long.
And the moon has risen early. The people in the car couldn't figure out the time, and the adjutant tried to explain to him: "Sir, it's not enough time for us to get down for a stick of incense, so don't be so anxious."
Xing Yi raised his chin and motioned his adjutant to take a look at the sky: "It wasn't dark before we got down, and now the moon is on, at least it's been two hours."
Adjutant: "..."
Xing Yi said, "Stop for a while. , I'd better ride back by myself."
Their carriages were equipped with double-headed poles, and the two fast horses were running side by side. Before the adjutant could say anything to dissuade him, Xing Yi had already opened the curtain and went to the front. He quickly removed a pair of poles, and took the other horse by himself.
He took out the saddle and bridle from the back of the car, got on the horse with a kick, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and left with a swoosh.
The adjutant and the driver looked at each other.
The adjutant said seriously: "I swear, we will never come down for more than a stick of incense!"
The driver spread his hands: "Who can guess the mind of an official?"
...
Xing Yi galloped all the way down, After going up the mountain, he came to the town and flat land, and it was even more like a shadow. There were people coming and going in the city, and when the lights were on, it was the busiest time after the evening, and Xing Yi didn't notice anything wrong.
When they reached the mansion, the group of people hadn't reacted yet. They watched him without saying hello, went straight in the door, and ran towards the east courtyard.
There was no boy waiting for him with a lantern at the door.
This little rascal really doesn't wait for him anymore.
Xing Yi couldn't tell what it felt like. Little Phoenix was waiting for him in the snow, and he felt distressed; When he pushed open the door and went in, when he saw Little Phoenix who was burying his head and eating seriously, the rock in his heart fell to the ground.
Xing Yi coughed calmly, and said, "I'm back late."
Little Fenghuang came back to his senses, raised his head from the table of delicacies, a little surprised: "Wei Jian, why did you come back so early? You Did you come back on horseback again?"
"Morning?" Xing Yi was stunned.
In fact, his adjutant was right, it was really only a stick of incense, and he thought it was very late, so he rushed, and he arrived earlier than before.
Xiao Fenghuang threw the chopsticks aside and pursed his lips: "I'm angry, Wei Jian, very serious and angry. You don't care what you say. You come back so quickly every time, and Pingshan is a cliff all the way, if you stumble If I fall, what should I do?"
Xing Yi hurriedly coaxed, but Xiao Fenghuang refused to calm down. The little guy angrily filled him with food and tea, then climbed onto the bed by himself, facing the wall and ignoring him.
Xing Yi couldn't, so he washed up early after eating, then fell asleep, and hugged Xiao Fenghuang into his arms from behind, coaxing in a low voice, "I'll never be like this again, okay?"
Xiao Fenghuang said, "Humph. "
Xing Yi said softly, "In such a hurry to come back, I also have good news to tell you. I asked His Majesty for leave, and he allowed me to rest for half a month. I want to take this opportunity to take you out for more walks."
Little Phoenix was not firm this time: "...Huh."
Xing Yi kissed his neck: "Would you like to?"
The two of them stuck together for a while, but in the end no one could hold back. The little phoenix was bewilderedly pressed by him over and over again, lingering and tired, and his breath was warm.
Xing Yi kissed his forehead and asked him to call her husband and his name back and forth many times, but Xiao Fenghuang obediently called, making him more and more angry.
In the end, Xing Yi was worried that he would get up early tomorrow, so he held it back, and then coaxed Little Phoenix to sleep.
He hugged him, lightly touched Xiao Fenghuang's long eyelashes with his fingers, and said warmly, "Go to sleep."
When Xiao Fenghuang heard what he said, he suddenly remembered something, struggled in his arms, and said with a sad face. : "...No, Wei Jian, you're foul, I'm still angry with you."
——————————————————
"You said you wanted to pursue the emperor? What? It turns out that you were the one who didn't wear clothes in the hall that day, boss! It turned out to be really you! Woo woo woo scared me to death, I take back what I said before, and now I agree with this The marriage is over! I totally agree! It's actually you, boss! Boss, you are in good shape!"
Garuda flapped his wings excitedly, fanned slightly, and rolled the fluffy ball on the snow a few times. Head down into the snow.
The little phoenix kicked its paws, stretched out its small wings and worked hard for a long time before turning over from the snow, and then coughed coyly: "It's me."
Garuda showed a mysterious smile: "It still uses Are you chasing? I see the emperor...hehe, he, hehe, he should like you very much, hehe..."
Little Phoenix tried his best to refute the rumor: "It's not like that, it's just that I suddenly changed shape and didn't have any clothes to wear. , that's why it's like this."
He said, with his head down, "Later, he asked me to change back, but I couldn't learn it, so I could only change back occasionally, and then occasionally become a human. In fact, I think my human form is also very good-looking, but he doesn't want it."
Garuda scolds bitterly: "The scumbag emperor! Big pig's hoof! He's been seen like this, he's not responsible for you, hum, what are you chasing, boss, I think it's the other way around. That's right, otherwise it would be too unfair."
Little Phoenix pondered for a while: "However, he was the one who took the initiative to chase me in the mortal time, and I took the initiative to pursue him in this life. It seems that it is not impossible, so it will be even."
Jin The winged bird thought for a while: "It's okay, but this is the end of the matter, I think it's a matter of course. Do you know what the rumors are going on now? You don't know, it's actually good for you, when everyone Everyone thinks that when you are together, the emperor himself will think you are together."
The little phoenix touched his chubby belly with his small wings, and seemed to understand, "Oh...but this is not good. Well? Wei Jian might be angry, after all, I haven't caught up with him yet."
Garuda patted his little head kindly: "Boss, the rumors stop at wise men, don't clarify, think about it, people who are immortals must be wise men, so why worry? Why don't you spend more time thinking about it? The best way to pursue the emperor is to strike while the iron is hot, and chase after him! A phoenix that can't get in the emperor is not a good phoenix!"
Xiao Fenghuang was inspired by him: "Okay! I'm a good phoenix!"
He held himself round with his small wings . Yoyo's head thought about it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't think of four words: do what you want.
He has been trying to learn to control his transformation for the past few days, but nothing has happened.
Xingyi discovered a rule, that is, every day, when Xingyi is awake, the power of the astrolabe is suppressed by him, and the little phoenix can transform into a human form; and when Xingyi falls asleep, the astrolabe runs freely. , Little Phoenix himself couldn't hold back that kind of power, so he could only change back to bird shape with a bang.
This rule is not particularly accurate, but it is used most of the time.
Xing Yi looked at the young man on the couch and said thoughtfully, "In other words, I can't touch you who turned into a bird when I'm awake, because you are generally a big living person at this time. You can touch it when you're asleep. But I can't feel it because I'm already asleep."
Little Phoenix listened intently.
There was a little smile hidden in Xing Yi's eyes, but he still had an indifferent expression on his face, so he came to the conclusion: "The bird that can't be touched by its owner is not a good bird, it's better to throw it away."
Little Phoenix immediately climbed to the ground. Beside him, he picked up a strand of his hair and gave it to him: "If you touch you, people can touch it, and my hair feels very good."
Then he blushed suspiciously: "Well, you can touch other places, too. I specifically allow you to touch only Wei Jian, this is a special treatment for your husband."
Xing Yi: "..."
He rubbed his temples.
In fact, up to now, he still hadn't reacted to the fact that the little bird from his home suddenly changed into a living person. The barrier was still open, Xiao Fenghuang had become proficient at climbing the windows, and Xing Yi was too lazy to care, so he let him shrink into his arms and fall asleep every day.
It's just that some habits are hard to change.
For example, in the past, when Xing Yi was staring blankly when he woke up, he wanted to rub little phoenix.
This habit has been around for a long time. Xiao Fenghuang stood on top of his head and sang loudly every day, the tone went from low to high, and again from high to low, urging him to get up, Xing Yi could no longer blame the reason why he pigeons Zaochao to "that little phoenix I raised.Sticky people, you have to let me go to court.” Instead, he was woken up by Little Phoenix every day, and his attendance at court was forced to be several times higher than before.
When the Jade Emperor heard about this, he was so happy that he burst into tears. He thought that the ideological work of Fenghuang Mingzun and Yue Lao had been done very well. He even added a salary to Yue Lao and sent a letter of thanks to Feng Feng Mingzun.
Xing Yi recalled revenge on the little phoenix, turned his head and forgot, he could only habitually catch this little bird before waking up every day, and engage in a big melee of you chasing me. This melee usually ends in Xingyi's victory.
He squeezed the little phoenix in his hand, rubbing it mercilessly, and pinching it, until the little phoenix burst into tears and begged for mercy, he was only satisfied.
The next day, he will be woken up by the little phoenix again, and then he will squeeze the fluffy ball again.
Xingyi had forgotten about the little phoenix turning into a human that day. Today, he slept until he woke up naturally, but his mind was still a little sleepy.
He subconsciously didn't want to get up. He reached out and touched the side, trying to make sure that his Phoenix alarm clock had not malfunctioned.
With this touch, I touched the hair in front of Xiao Fenghuang's forehead, and a little further down, there were soft white and tender cheeks. Xing Yi felt that the hand felt was not right, and subconsciously asked a question: "What's wrong with you? Are you sick and shedding hair?"
Xiao Fenghuang was also half awake. Don't move, because you are my husband, so I specifically allow you to wake me up before I get up, but there is a limit to the number of times."
Xing Yi closed his eyes and commented: "You are promising, dare to talk to me like that. I'm sick, where did the feather go? Did you want to pluck the hair and be grilled by me, eh?"
He touched it for a long time, and when he touched the hair, it was indeed soft, but it felt different from down and still not quite right. Going down, it becomes smoother and smoother. When it touches the bridge of the nose, it feels hard, and when it touches the lips, it feels too soft.
And then went down...
Xing Yi suddenly came to his senses and was terrified.
His hand trembled a little, then quickly retracted it. Then he opened his eyes and looked aside casually.
Little Phoenix clutched the open front of his chest and peeked at him, his eyes blinking. Still holding the pipa half covering his face and talking about this small appearance, Xiao Fenghuang looked at him for a while, a little shy: "Husband, take the initiative."
Xing Yi: "..."
Xing Yi took a deep breath and forced Calm yourself down.
He felt that things couldn't go on like this.
Little Phoenix is fine on this side. Although this little fat bird is very bad, he can take care of it with a pinch. But this bird still crawled on his couch every day in a disguised form, and was bumped into several times by some palace attendants, even in Fuli Palace, not to mention what outsiders would say.
Xingyi grabbed the little phoenix in front of him and said, "These days, the side hall has been cleaned up, you go to sleep there."
Little phoenix immediately burst into tears - this bad bird is a bird or a person. They are all well versed in all kinds of routines, and tears come when they say: "I'm very pitiful, I'm afraid of the dark, and I'm afraid of ghosts, you know that our little birds are very timid."
Xing Yi's words stopped abruptly: "I'm going to sleep over there."
Little Phoenix lowered his head and pointed his finger.
Xing Yi looked at his appearance, sighed, and reached out and rubbed his head: "I know you want to be my empress, but the empress? But this matter has to be taken slowly and considered in the long run. The old fairy who has lived for tens of thousands of years, you have not even grown long feathers, a little guy with soft hair, you should not fall in love so early. I only know early love all the time, I will not let such a hopeless phoenix Be my queen."
Xiao Fenghuang's eyes lit up: "So, as long as I do a little bit of business, can I marry you back home?"
Xing Yi indifferently wrapped his clothes around him, so that only his head was exposed. He said, "Let's talk about it."
So that night, Xing Yi went to sleep alone in the side hall.
The next night, Xiao Fenghuang followed him to the side hall, went to sleep when Xing Yi was not paying attention, and was carried by Xing Yi and threw back to the master bedroom of the dormitory.
On the third night, Xiao Fenghuang honestly did not run around, but Xing Yi was made uncomfortable by the bed in the side hall, tossing and turning all night. Early in the morning, he returned to his bedroom and saw a small fat white bird sleeping on his back in the center of his bed.
He picked up the little fat bird expressionlessly and put it aside, then lay down and fell asleep. As soon as he fell asleep, Xing Yi vaguely felt that the little phoenix had changed back into a human form, but this time he didn't think about anything, and he was tired and pulled the man into his arms, so that the little bad bird would not move around again.
These small movements are not noticed by others. In the eyes of outsiders, they were separated for three days without any chance of close contact.
Xing Yi was relatively satisfied with the situation for the time being, he grabbed Xian'e and asked, "I slept separately from Xiao Fenghuang for three days, so you should also know that I don't have that kind of relationship with him. What does God say?"
Xian'e bowed her head and said, "You said that you were in so much chaos a few days ago that the little son couldn't get out of bed, so he was pushed by the little son to sleep in the side hall."
Xing Yi thought that he heard it wrong: "You Say it again?"
Xian'e is very innocent: "Your Majesty, you give up, as early as the time you warmed the spring water, everyone said that you were playing with dragons and phoenixes in the spring water, like glue, and this matter cannot be washed away. "
Xing Yi didn't speak for a long time.
Xian'e continued to add: "And the last time you went down the mountain to look for the little phoenix, everyone knows that there was a demon clan who did all evil and was turned into a gray fly by you, because they moved your sweetheart; and when Yue Lao was bored I found that there is an extra star in the sky, which looks very similar to the little phoenix, so everyone knows it again, which shows that you are very affectionate; and then you... What happened to you in the hall a few days ago, really you Don't be embarrassed, the greedy wolf has already told us, I heard that it was very intense, and even the watch was collapsed."
Xiao Xian'e looked at his expression, and carefully said the last sentence: "Although I don't believe it, but ...Emperor, you have to take care of your body recently, the phoenix is round and round, I am afraid that you are a little more delicate. You ... pay attention to restraint."
