Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Chapter 38 Xia Houqi, can you kiss me?
"But didn't you say we have an engagement? Isn't this also okay?"

Chu Xi was only happy because she no longer had to live in the palace, but she never thought she would never see Xia Houqi again.

As he said before, the two people are engaged. Since they are an unmarried couple, why can't they visit?

Seeing Chu Xi's nervous look, Xia Houqi laughed and said, "Don't you want to see me? Isn't this what you want?"

"I didn't say I didn't want to see you, I just didn't want to live in your house."

"Oh? Is there any difference?" Xia Houqi asked curiously.

"Of course there is a difference! When I live in your house, I always feel like I am dependent on someone else. We are not equal. If I go back to the palace, the palace will be my home. Only then can the two of us be truly equal."

Chu Xi said every word very seriously.

Only then did Xia Houqi find out that Chu Xi had been unwilling to live in the palace before. It was because of this reason that he thought...
She thought it was because she didn't like herself that she also disliked the palace.

Chu Xi realized how ambiguous her words were, and she blushed and turned around, not looking at Xia Houqi.

Xia Houqi was amused by her reaction. He walked behind her, stretched out his arms, hugged her, and rested his chin affectionately on her shoulder.

"Chu Xi, even if the rules prevent me from seeing you often, I will still find you secretly. If I don't see you for a day, I won't feel comfortable. I can't help it."

Xia Houqi chuckled in Chu Xi's ear and expressed his feelings.

Chu Xi clearly felt her heartbeat, and from now on, she could no longer suppress the spread.

"Xia Houqi, can you kiss me?"

Chu Xi suddenly made this request. Xia Houqi was confused, but he still obeyed and kissed Chu Xi gently on the lips.

This kiss was different from the previous two, it was particularly gentle and affectionate.

And Chu Xi made this request not without reason. She wanted to confirm what her feelings were.

Does she like Xia Houqi or is it something else?
After this gentle kiss, Chu Xi also understood her feelings. It turned out that she had already fallen in love with Xia Houqi.

Maybe he saved her from being killed that day, or maybe he helped her vent her anger and teach Caiyue a lesson, or maybe the seeds of admiration were planted when she first saw Xia Houqi, and now they are slowly sprouting and growing.

This night, the two of them almost broke through the boundary of ambiguity. Fortunately, Chu Xi pulled away in time, regained consciousness, and pushed Xia Houqi away.

"No, it can't be. We haven't gotten married yet."

Hearing Chu Xi's words, Xia Houqi was very upset, and he almost bullied her.

"Sorry, I. I'm going to calm down."

After saying that, Xia Houqi stood up and walked out of the room in a panic.

At this time, Xia Houqi was as young and ignorant as a young boy. Chu Xi also noticed Xia Houqi's embarrassment and couldn't help but curl her lips:
Xia Hou abandoned him, which was quite innocent.

That night, Chu Xi lay in bed, dreaming of a girl's sweet dream, imagining the future of herself and her sweetheart.

Xia Houqi originally wanted to take a shower and change clothes to calm down his inner turmoil, but he ran into Ta Feng on the way.

"My lord, I have something to report."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else. I have something urgent."

After saying that, Xia Houqi was in a hurry to leave, and then heard Ta Feng say slowly, "It has something to do with the fact that Di Ji was blocked in the street today."

Xia Houqi stopped, turned around, looked at Ta Feng, and motioned for him to continue.

"Your Majesty, after my subordinates sent the people to the palace, they originally wanted to return to the palace after the officials sentenced them. Who knew that those thieves actually said that someone gave them some silver and asked them to surround the emperor while she was alone? She wants to destroy Di Ji’s innocence.”

Ta Feng frowned and said with a very serious expression. "What did you say?"

Xia Houqi asked coldly, his eyes were very scary.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your subordinates dare not speak nonsense, but this is indeed what they confessed."

"Have you ever asked who ordered it?" Xia Houqi narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.

"Back to the prince, my subordinates came back this time to report this matter to the prince and wanted to continue to pursue the matter. The clues were broken here. They said they did not know this person, he was just a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes, but - —”

"But what?"

"But those three people said that the middle-aged man who contacted them had a scar on his right hand."

"Scar, okay, you must investigate this matter secretly. Remember to alert the enemy and report any news to me in a timely manner."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

After Ta Feng and Xia Hou Qi reported this incident, they left. The anger in Xia Hou Qi's body had also dissipated a lot at this time, so he turned around and returned to Chu Xi's place.

When he came back, Chu Xi had already fallen asleep on his side, and he didn't even know when Xia Houqi came back.

All she knew was that when she opened her eyes in the morning, Xia Houqi was sleeping next to her again, with one hand tightly hugging her waist.

"You're a disciple." Chu Xi scolded lightly, but her tone was very affectionate.

"How can I become a disciple by arranging this arrangement so early in the morning?"

"Are you awake? When did you come back last night? I don't even remember it."

"You sleep like a little piglet, how can you have any impression?" Xia Houqi's tone was full of helplessness and doting.

Chuxi scratched her chin sheepishly, feeling a little embarrassed.

After seeing her, Xiahou didn't expose her. After kissing her on the forehead, he got up to wash and change clothes and prepare to go to the morning court.

"Are you going to the palace?"

"Ah."

"Then can I go out for a walk today? I'll take Feiyun Huanyundu with me." Chu Xi said.

"You should stay in the mansion honestly these days. When the king is free in a few days, I will go out with you."

Xia Houqi thought of what Ta Feng had mentioned to him last night, and rejected Chu Xi's request.

"Well, I was in such a hurry when I left the house last time that I didn't even have time to take a stroll." Chu Xi pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy.

"When I come back from the next court, can I buy you candied haws and meat buns from the street?"

"Really? I want two! No, four! One for Feiyun Huanyun and two for me!" Chu Xi said, clasping her fingers.

"Okay, I'll buy you four. Then wait for me to return home and don't run around, otherwise your candied haws and meat buns will be gone." Xiahou Qi coaxed, lied and threatened.

"Yeah, don't worry, I'll stay in the room, and I won't even leave the door!" Chu Xi swore, holding out three fingers.

After seeing this, Xia Houqi finally felt relieved and went to the morning court.

Chu Xi, on the other hand, was lying on the bed happily, waiting for Xia Houqi to come back from get off work to bring him delicious food!
