The world is heavy and late

Chapter 182 Inquiry
On May [-]th, the sun was scorching hot, and the streets were noisy.

Xia Qing once again ate the cherry he was longing for, and lay on Xu Zhong's lap.

She and Xu Zhong were sitting together under the cherry tree in the front yard. Xu Zhong was taking a rest, reading with a book in his hand, while she was leisurely lying on Xu Zhong's lap.

There was some howling heat in the wind, and Xia Qing looked at the heat wave in the distance as if it was about to turn into reality.

But fortunately, the dense branches and leaves on the tree above the head are enough to shelter the two people under the tree.

Xia Qing took the bowl in his hand and ate several pills, feeling a little inconvenient and a little sore.

So he called out, "Eunuch."

Xu Zhong's eyes moved away from the book in his hand, and looked at her with some questions.

She handed over the bowl with a matter-of-fact expression and said, "You feed me."

There was no expression on Xu Zhong's face, he just stared at Xia Qing, trying to push back this aggressive girl through his serious eyes.

But is Xia Qing someone who will be forced to retreat?
Obviously not, she opened her eyes even wider, looked at Xu Zhong and said, "Elder-in-law, hold it quickly, my hands are sore."

Xu Zhongxin sighed, took the bowl in Xia Qing's hand, and reached out to pick a plump red cherry, which seemed to be shining when he picked it up.

Xia Qing opened his mouth, and Xu Zhong reluctantly put it in.

Xia Qing spit out the seeds with his head tilted, and put his hands in front of his abdomen, motionless.

The two ate one and fed the other, and Anping next to him couldn't help but look at the pair of mandarin ducks.

Xia Qing rolled his eyes, his bad intentions gradually arose, he looked at Xu Zhong's hand in front of him, and smiled.

The person who was feeding suddenly felt soft and wet fingertips. He shook his hands, took two deep breaths, put the bowl aside, and picked up the book to cover his red earlobes.

This, Xia Qing.

Xia Qing giggled, and asked knowingly: "Elder-in-law, why don't you feed me, I want more."

Xu Zhong said coldly, "You don't want to eat."

Xia Qing said: "Who said that, I think so."

Xu Zhong didn't speak, Xia Qing started to rub in his arms, Xu Zhong pulled her up angrily.

It's getting more and more irregular.

Xia Qing immediately softened and said: "I was wrong, I was wrong, father-in-law hug me."

As he spoke, he put his head down again and lay on Xu Zhong's lap.

Xu Zhong glanced at Xia Qing who had calmed down, and let out a calm breath.

Xia Qing said: "I heard from Anping that you were drunk a few days ago?"

Xu Zhong didn't know why he was a little embarrassed, he naturally heard that Xia Qing was not drunk after a thousand cups.

He responded in a low voice, and then said: "King An wants to inquire about some news, please invite me to the banquet."

Xia Qing smiled and said: "King An has been in the capital for so long, and His Majesty neither repatriates nor summons him. He must be very guilty."

Xu Zhong thought of Wang An pulling him to pour out his bitterness a few days ago, and looked down at Xia Qing, thinking that she probably liked these things very much.

In the next second, Xia Qing really started to raise her feet again and asked, "Eunuch, what did you say? Can you tell me."

Xu Zhong reached out and stroked Xia Qing's hair, remembering what happened that day.

……

King An took Anyang to sit in the house, waiting for Xu Zhong to come to the door.

After Xu Zhong came, the two of them, one big and one small, looked straight at him, as if they were looking forward to it.

Xu Zhong's footsteps faltered, and he paused before saluting: "Join Your Highness King An, Princess Anyang."

As soon as King An raised his hand, Anyang stood up and bowed to Xu Zhong. Since Anyang was rescued, Anyang has always treated Xu Zhong very preferentially.

Xu Zhong straightened up, Wang An waved his hand and sent everyone else away, leaving only one or two confidantes.

King An raised his chin to signal Xu Zhong to sit down, and naturally a servant behind him stepped forward to fill the wine glass with great winks.

Wang An raised his glass to signal, Xu Zhong looked at the glass in front of him hesitantly, and finally picked it up to toast Wang An.

After the two drank the glass, the servant came to add more wine, Xu Zhong tried to stop him, and King An said: "Okay, hurry up and have a few drinks with me."

Xu Zhong's hand paused, but he could only take it back.

When Xu Zhong felt that his hands and feet were somewhat weak, King An began to pour out his bitterness.

"You don't know, the king summoned a few actors in the capital, and there were so many people chattering. That Qin Xuan, who is admonishing every day, is so annoying."

"Also, every day when the Japanese king goes to the Jiaofang Division, a bunch of people will talk nonsense to the king. Even when Anyang stays outside for a while, some people will say this and that."

Xu Zhong's body was a little weak and relaxed, but his mind was not yet confused, so he was silent for a while and said, "My lord may have to wait for a while."

At this time, it was Anyang who was the first to lose her breath. Her small face was serious, but because of the grievance in her eyes and the baby fat on her face, this forced seriousness could only be seen by her. It's even more lovable.

She looked at Xu Zhong and said, "How long will we have to wait?"

Xu Zhong glanced at Anyang and said, "Is Your Highness unhappy in the capital?"

Anyang pursed his lips and said, "This princess just misses my brother a little bit."

When Wang An heard it, he also said: "Then what exactly does Zhao Chengming want to do? Call me back and do something. There are so many eyes watching from behind, I can't wait any longer."

Xu Zhong was a little silent, he knew that King An was using himself to express his dissatisfaction with the emperor.

He thought for a while and said, "It's only a few months at the latest, King An don't need to worry."

After finishing speaking, he said softly to Anyang: "Your Highness, why don't you go to the palace with the princess to see His Royal Highness and Second Highness, they are also your little nephews."

Anyang's eyes lit up when he thought of something, but then he lowered his head.

She was not very energetic and said: "But the princess still wants to go back."

When King An saw it, he patted Anyang's head with his big hand, then took two sips of wine, and said to Xu Zhong: "This king will wait for two months at most. I only heard that the king was banned in the fief. He stayed in the capital all the time."

Actually, there are.

Obviously both of them thought about it, so both of them were silent for a while.

But King An immediately said: "This capital city is too restrictive, I don't like it."

Xu Zhong comforted King An in the end, and he was really dizzy when he went back.

I just hope that the emperor can do it as soon as possible, he can't stand it day by day.

Xu Zhong stroked Xia Qing's hair with one hand, thinking so.

Xia Qing was very interested, turned his face to Xu Zhong, and then said jokingly: "Eunuch, did King An really go to the brothel? And was he really impeached? Or the prince?"

Xu Zhong paused, is this the point he just said?

But he immediately said with a vigilant face: "It's Jiaofang Secretary, and you, a girl, how can you keep your mouth shut like that."

Xia Qing blinked innocently and said, "Is that kind of place?"

Xu Zhong looked at Xia Qing who was still acting mischievously, stretched out his hands to help Xia Qing on his legs with a sullen face, and moved his legs away.

Xia Qing smiled and stretched out her hand to grab Xu Zhong's hand, and forced her fingers to interlock.

Xu Zhong turned his face away, ignoring Xia Qing, but Xia Qing chuckled and threw himself on Xu Zhong's back, holding him tightly and refusing to let go.

Xu Zhong's face became more severe, but his earlobes were also red, and he said in a calm voice, "Xia Qing, let go, the sky is bright and bright, you should be ashamed."

Xia Qing has long been familiar with her father-in-law's tricks, and ignored him at all, but said: "Elder-in-law, your majesty is about to start?"

Xu Zhongzhong was depressed, is he talking about this now?

He broke away from Xia Qing's hand, not wanting to answer Xia Qing's words.

Xia Qing's hands were pulled away by Xu Zhong, she pouted, then put her head on Xu Zhong's back, flatteringly said: "Elder-in-law, why are you angry again?"

Also blame him for being angry?

Xu Zhong's mouth was unconsciously clenched, feeling a little depressed.

He remained silent and moved his shoulders, trying to avoid Xia Qing's head.

Xia Qing felt a little irritable for some reason. There were too many things going on recently, but she didn't let go of her depression.

"Eunuch, can you talk, can you?"

"Eunuch, don't be so stingy, okay?"

Xu Zhong didn't want to talk at all, not to mention that seeing Xia Qing's patience with him seemed to be getting worse, he felt somewhat aggrieved.

It was only then that Xia Qing felt that Xu Zhong seemed to be really angry. She was a little anxious, and also a little unspeakably bored.

Is it the anger that didn't come out a few days ago?Is it dissatisfaction with the fact that the two of them rarely meet?Xia Qing didn't know, she didn't even know that sometimes the words she blurted out would really pierce the skin and pierce the flesh like a sharp knife.

You can imagine how bad Xia Qing's tone was: "I really know I'm wrong, what does father-in-law want?"

Xu Zhong's breath was stagnant, and he glanced at Xia Qing's impatient expression.

He moved his lips a few times and wanted to say something, but he clenched his teeth tightly, unable to say anything, and his face became a little unsightly.

Xia Qing, don't be so impatient with me.

Xia Qing thought it was a bit too much when he said it, but when he saw Xu Zhong turned around with an ugly face, he still didn't speak, and couldn't hold back for a moment: "If you are unhappy, why don't you say it? You hold it back all day and just keep silent. Others How do you know?"

Xia Qing felt a little tired, she stood up and looked at Xu Zhong and said, "I don't like the Cold War, and I also hate the way you don't talk, Eunuch."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Xia Qing had some doubts for a moment, is it true that all things are beautiful only at the beginning?
She is inferior and stubborn, she doesn't like to please others, and she doesn't like the cold war, but Xu Zhong is not happy and won't say it, she knows why.But she also wonders if they are really suitable?
Two people with low self-esteem?

Xu Zhong felt a little flustered when Xia Qing was angry. After hearing Xia Qing's words, he felt that he couldn't breathe. The pain and suffocation in his heart seemed to surround him.

Seeing that Xia Qing turned around and wanted to leave, he shouted in a panic, "Xia Qing."

Xia Qing's footsteps paused, without turning around, he just said in a weary voice: "Elder-in-law, let's think about it again."

After speaking, he left Huaiyuan Lane without stopping.

Xu Zhong took a step forward unconsciously, as if he wanted to chase after him, but in the end he just stood there, watching Xia Qing walk away.
