Who knows, my family members, the host is forced to love again

Chapter 282 'Obedient' Little Eunuch Forced Love 21

Lu Huaiyuan doesn't hate winter, but in such a cold season, he doesn't like to go out much.

In addition, his current physical condition does not allow him to wander around.

So most of the time, Lu Huaiyuan would still stay in the East Palace.

He had previously found a master to teach Huai Yanzhi martial arts.

But as for reading and writing, he taught them personally.

Huai Yanzhi studied very seriously and made rapid progress.

Lu Huaiyuan was also very happy about this.

As the days passed, at the end of November, the imperial capital of North Vietnam welcomed its first snowfall.

The snow started falling in the early hours of the night, forming a thick layer on the ground.

Lu Huaiyuan felt a little cold and took a rare break from work.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

A clear voice sounded from outside the hall.

Lu Huaiyuan was leaning on the couch reading a book, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

Through a window, he saw Huai Yanzhi standing in the yard on the other side with an excited look on his face.

The other person's face was red, I wonder if it was because he was cold.

Seeing his gaze looking over there, Huai Yanzhi waved at him excitedly.

He took a few steps closer and said mysteriously, "Your Highness, I have something good to show you."

Lu Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but stand up and walk to the window.

However, when he saw the object the other party quietly took out from behind his back, he couldn't help but smile.

Lu Huaiyuan had guessed in advance that what Huai Yan meant by "good things" must be related to snow.

only........

This snowman is probably, perhaps, possibly, really a little ugly.

Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but cough lightly and tried hard to suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Huai Yanzhi realized what he meant, his face turned slightly red, and he immediately wanted to take back what was in his hand.

He said, "It was my fault for being clumsy. I shouldn't have offended Your Highness."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will take it away immediately."

Seeing the man turn around and leave, Lu Huaiyuan restrained the smile on his face and said, "Come back."

Hearing this, Huai Yanzhi turned his head and smiled at him obediently.

Lu Huaiyuan glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to show it to me? Put it down."

"Ah?" Huai Yan was taken aback: "Your Highness."

He wanted to say something, but seemed unable to find the words.

Lu Huaiyuan curled the corners of his lips: "Why, didn't you understand what I said just now?"

Huai Yanzhi quickly shook his head: "I understand."

"Yeah." Lu Huaiyuan responded softly and said nothing more.

Huai Yanzhi stole a glance at his expression, then walked up obediently and put the things by the window.

Seeing the people in the room reaching out to touch it, he couldn't help but remind them: "Your Highness, this thing is cold, please take care of yourself."

Lu Huaiyuan nodded slightly: "I know."

As he spoke, he glanced at the other people in the courtyard and waved to Huai Yanzhi.

"I have nothing to do here, please leave first."

Lu Huaiyuan paused and warned, "It's cold outside. Don't stay too long. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Huai Yanzhi said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will remember it."

Having said that, he was still a little worried about Lu Huaiyuan.

But the other party didn't say anything, so he could only leave the place, looking back every few steps.

Lu Huaiyuan looked at his figure and couldn't help but smile.

After staying in the Eastern Palace for so many days, Huai Yanzhi became familiar with the servants in the palace.

Compared to when he first came, he has become much more lively.

It was probably to teach him how to read and write. Since they had been together for a long time, Huai Yanzhi was not so reserved in front of him now.

I've even become a lot bolder and now even dare to joke with him.

However, Lu Huaiyuan felt that this change was quite good.

As he was thinking this, he heard the system prompt sound suddenly.

[The target's blackening value has been detected to be -5, and the current blackening value is 27. Please keep up the good work!]

Lu Huaiyuan's mind moved slightly, and he looked up at the figure not far away.

Noticing his gaze, Huai Yanzhi turned around and smiled at him.

Lu Huaiyuan just looked at him and smiled back.

When he saw the person running to the other side, he slowly withdrew his gaze.

In fact, since this period of time, Huai Yanzhi's blackening value has been dropping gradually.

All of this seems to be going smoothly.

But Lu Huaiyuan always felt that things might not be that simple.

But he still hasn't figured it out.

Lu Huaiyuan tapped the window lightly with his fingers, his expression somewhat thoughtful.

"Your Highness, the wind is strong near the window. Please don't stay here for long. Go inside first."

The sudden voice beside him brought Lu Huaiyuan back to his senses.

He lowered his eyes slightly, but did not refute the other party's words.

Lu Huaiyuan just glanced at the snowman placed by the window and reached out to take it in.

The two were close to each other, so Qing Luo naturally saw what was in his hand.

He couldn't help but frown and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

In fact, the moment Qing Luo saw it, he guessed who created it.

But he blinked and still couldn't see clearly what Lu Huaiyuan was holding in his hand.

Ok?

How should I put it, it's a bit ugly.

Could it be that His Highness likes snowballs like this kind of snowballs?

Qingluo thought so.

However, seeing Lu Huaiyuan moving the things indoors, he couldn't help but remind him, "Your Highness, it's warm inside. This thing will probably melt in no time."

"Besides, you are not in good health, so it is better to avoid contact with these cold things as much as possible."

After Qing Luo finished speaking, Lu Huaiyuan thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Although he could ensure that the snowman would not melt, it would be a troublesome thing if someone saw it.

Lu Huaiyuan thought for a moment and then put the things back outside the window.

He just put some divine power on it to ensure that it would not be destroyed or melted.

Qing Luo was relieved to see that Lu Huaiyuan did not insist.

But what he didn't know was that Lu Huaiyuan secretly took the things in afterwards.

However, Qingluo couldn't see it, so naturally he couldn't discover it.

-----------------

After a winter snow, the weather became a little colder.

At this time, the news that Lou Shuyang had led the army to a great victory at the border was also reported back to the imperial city.

The defeated Southern Yan took the lead in proposing peace talks, willing to cede territory and pay compensation to make peace with North Vietnam.

Lu Hao was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately ordered Lou Shuyang to arrange everything and then return to the court to report.

There is still quite a while until the end of the year.

If nothing unexpected happens, the army will be able to return to the capital in time for this year's New Year's Eve.

Just as everyone expected, the peace talks went very smoothly.

But what was reported back later was that Lou Shuyang was assassinated on his way back.

Even Lou Yingxue, who was traveling with him, was also seriously injured and nearly died.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the government and the public.

Lu Hao was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

But the other party was obviously well prepared, and since the emperor was far away, it was not easy for those who were sent to find out the truth.

Moreover, Lu Hao was behind the scenes setting up the scheme, so it was impossible for anyone to find out anything.

So in the end, this investigation will either become an unsolved wrongful case or a few scapegoats will be found. The results are obvious.

Lu Huaiyuan found this very boring and stopped paying attention to the subsequent events.

After all, he arranged for Lou Shuyang to fake his death and escape, and on the other hand, it was also to lower Lu Hao's vigilance.

Now that the plan has been implemented smoothly, as for how to clean up the mess afterwards, that is something Lu Hao needs to consider.

Since the other party dared to send people to assassinate Lou Shuyang, they naturally have the ability to cover it all up.

-----------------

Because of Lou Shuyang's "murder", Lu Hao also issued a special order to comfort the Lou family.

But if we didn't know in advance what a dark heart he had, we would probably think he was a benevolent and wise monarch.

It’s a pity that the timing is not right now and they can’t fall out yet.

So even if we know the truth, we can only hold back for the time being.

As the end of the year approaches, discussions about this matter have gradually been suppressed.

Within the originally busy palace walls, each palace became lively as the new year was approaching.

Lu Huaiyuan was indeed an impatient person, but his physical condition hindered his attempts to sneak out of the palace.

That made him so angry that he dragged Huai Yanzhi to practice writing several pages more.

Huai Yanzhi couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless about this.

However, since he couldn't leave the palace and the weather was cold, Lu Huaiyuan no longer had the idea of going out.

Therefore, he stayed in the East Palace most of the time.

In addition to practicing martial arts with his master every day, Huai Yanzhi spent more time with Lu Huaiyuan to read and learn.

He is very smart and has learned a lot during his time in the Eastern Palace.

Lu Huaiyuan looked at the words he had written, which could barely be considered "looking decent", and felt a rare good mood.

How can this not be considered as something he 'taught'?

-----------------

New Year's Eve.

Lu Huaiyuan refused the palace banquet in the evening on the pretext of health reasons.

Lu Hao knew his situation and was considerate enough not to force him, and even sent him a lot of supplements.

In this regard, Lu Huaiyuan did not refuse.

However, when Huai Yanzhi heard the sounds of stringed instruments coming from the distant palace, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the man standing in front of the desk.

The other person had a cold expression, holding a pen in his hand, writing something on the paper.

As if noticing his gaze, Lu Huaiyuan turned his head and looked up, and his gaze happened to meet Huai Yanzhi's.

The coldness in his eyes faded away, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, adding a touch of gentleness.

gentle?

Huai Yanzhi bit his tongue in shock, and couldn't help wondering if he was dazzled or his brain was broken?

However, the pain in his mouth brought him back to his senses.

But, he actually felt that Lu Huaiyuan was gentle?

The sun really came out in the west.

Lu Huaiyuan didn't know what was going on in Huai Yanzhi's mind, but seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Huai Yanzhi withdrew his gaze and put a well-behaved smile on his face again.

He said, "Your Highness, are you really not going to attend the palace banquet?"

"Yeah." Lu Huaiyuan responded softly.

In fact, he has never liked occasions that are too noisy.

What's more, today's palace banquet is also an opportunity for concubines from all palaces to compete with each other for beauty, and he really doesn't want to join in the fun.

He just doesn't like to get involved in meaningless things, but it's definitely not because he is lazy or because he is afraid of the cold.

Lu Huaiyuan was thinking this when he heard Huai Yanzhi say, "But I heard that the palace banquet was very lively and there were a lot of delicious food."

He blinked and spoke seriously.

Hearing this, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but laugh or cry.

He simply reached out and pinched Huai Yanzhi's slightly round face.

After staying in the Eastern Palace for such a long time, Huai Yanzhi gained a lot of weight on his face and even grew a lot taller.

Compared to when he first came, it can be said that he has been "reborn".

That little round face looks really cute.

However, Lu Huaiyuan did not use much force, he just pulled the soft flesh on Huai Yanzhi's face.

He said, "Are you the only one who's thinking about those two bites of food?"

"Why, has my Eastern Palace wronged you?"

"No, no, how could I have that intention." Huai Yanzhi smiled at Lu Huaiyuan and quickly rescued his face from the other's hands.

He said, "I dare not think about that, but I am just wondering if His Highness would like it."

"Besides, His Highness has been very kind to me. How could I feel wronged?"

After Huai Yanzhi finished speaking, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but look at him.

Finally, he reached out and tapped him lightly on the forehead.

Lu Huaiyuan: "That's good to know."

Little heartless.

For some reason, Huai Yanzhi always felt that there was a hint of sorrow in his tone.

But he didn't think much about it, instead he reached out and rubbed the place where he had just been hit.

Huai Yanzhi said sincerely, "Your Highness has been so kind to me, and I will always remember it in my heart."

"If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay your highness for his great kindness."

Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but smile: "I didn't do this for your reward."

Huai Yanzhi nodded seriously: "Yes, I know."

Hearing him say this, Lu Huaiyuan glanced at him.

You know? You know nothing!

Lu Huaiyuan thought so, but did not speak again, but withdrew his gaze.

Huai Yanzhi frowned slightly, not quite sure if he had said something wrong.

Seeing that Lu Huaiyuan looked normal, he felt that he was worrying too much.

However, when he caught a glimpse of what was written on the other person's paper, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

On the paper spread out in front of Lu Huaiyuan, there was a series of names written, and most of them were people he knew.

So Huai Yanzhi couldn't help but feel curious about the other party's purpose in writing these.

Are you trying to win them over?

Huai Yanzhi's eyes turned slightly, as if he felt that this was not impossible.

But before he could look away, he heard Lu Huaiyuan say, "Do you understand?"

Holding the inkstone:?

He didn't quite understand what the other party was referring to when he said "understand".

But Huai Yanzhi thought about it and said tentatively: "These are similar, I can recognize them all."
