Chapter 119.1

Wen Chi was embarrassed for a while, then nodded cheekily: “Yes.”

Shi Ye seemed to see what Wen Chi was thinking. He threw the invitation on the desk, gently hugged Wen Chi’s waist and said indifferently: “If you don’t want to go, then don’t go.”

Wen Chi naturally didn’t want to go. But then he thought that the person who sent the invitation was Concubine Rong who was after all the most favored woman in the harem, and if he ignored Consort Rong, would Consort Rong make it difficult for Shi Ye.

Wen Chi thought for a while, frowned, and asked softly, “Is it okay?”

Shi Ye said: “These days, the power in this palace has already been divided and that woman of Concubine Rong doesn’t have that much face to make everyone come to her. Who doesn’t know that the so-called family banquet was just a cover up? I’m afraid a lot of people won’t be coming that say, so rest assured.”

After saying this, Shi Ye suddenly took Wen Chi’s hand and interlocked Wen Chi’s fingers with his.

The temperature of each other converged through the touching skin.

Wen Chi felt Shi Ye’s slightly cold fingertips and gradually relaxed. He turned his head to look at Shi Ye and smiled: “Okay, I’ll listen to you .”

Shi Ye looked down at him, there seemed to be a bottomless pool of spring water in his dark eyes and the smile in his eyes almost overflowed.

Afterwards, he lowered his head and touched Wen Chi’s lips superficially: “Good boy.”

Wen Chi ”…”

Wen Chi’s face blushed as if it was about to burst into flames.

Eunuch Zhu on the other side of the desk has long been accustomed to these scenes and still holds his whisk very calmly, not even bothering to lift his eyes..

But it was hard for Liu De, Liu Shan and others who were standing beside Eunuch Zhu. They had followed His Highness for many years, but when had they ever seen His Highness holding someone in his arms? They even had some doubts whether the person in front of them was His Highness ……

How could this be something that the former Crown Prince could do?

The group of big men could not stand or leave, so they stood in place, but looked at each other with their heads bowed and they all saw surprise and helplessness in each other’s eyes.

In the end, they lowered their heads tacitly, not even daring to look in the direction of His Royal Highness, wishing to turn themselves into a peck of dust.

Even if Wen Chi didn’t raise his head, he could still feel the helplessness of those people except Eunuch Zhu. Only then did he belatedly realize that he was still held in Shi Ye’s arms like a puppy.

For a moment, the embarrassment that was finally dissipated came back again. Wen Chi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles in Shi Ye’s arms and quickly reached out to pick up the invitation that Shi Ye had thrown on the desk and was about to stand up.

As soon as he got up, he felt a resistance coming from Shi Ye’s hand around his waist, and before he had time to react, he was pressed back down by Shi Ye.

Wen Chi’s body was stiff, and he didn’t dare to breathe. It took him a long time to find his voice: “Since you’re busy, I’ll come back to see you later.”

“I;m not busy.” Shi Ye rested his chin on Wen Chi’s shoulder just like before, his chest pressed against Wen Chi’s back, the heat of his breath lingered around Wen Chi’s ears like a veil, “Don’t go, just stay here with me.”

Wen Chi was firmly imprisoned by Shi Ye from behind and he couldn’t leave even if he wanted to. He hesitated and said, “Weren’t you talking about something? As an outsider, I might disturb you.”

Shi Ye’s voice sank: “When did you become an outsider to me?”

”…” Wen Chi choked and immediately felt a sense of crisis. Without even thinking about it, he said with a strong desire to survive, “Your Royal Highness, what I mean is that you are talking to these outsiders and I am afraid that it is inconvenient for me to be here. “

Liu De, Liu Shan and other outsiders: “…”

Shi Ye was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, his chest vibrated from laughing and the strength of his arms around Wen Chi gradually tightened.

After laughing for a long time, he still had no intention of stopping.

Finally, Wen Chi, who couldn’t bear it any longer, turned around in his arms and covered his mouth.

Shi Ye’s voice stopped abruptly.

Wen Chi was both amused and angry: “Stop laughing.”

Shi Ye smiled and said okay, the hot air sprayed from his mouth sprinkled on the palm of Wen Chi’s palm, like the tip of a feather brushing against the itchy flesh of his palm, tickling it to the core of his heart.

Suddenly, Wen Chi’s breathing became messy, he raised his eyes and saw Shi Ye’s phoenix eyes were slightly curved, like a crescent moon with faint fluorescence in the sky. His black eyes were a pool of deep pool water, staring at him without blinking.

It’s just that the water in this pool is too deep and he can drown in it at any time.

Wen Chi collected himself and retracted his hand covering Shi Ye’s mouth rather uncomfortably.

When the two of them were making a fuss, Liu De, Liu Shan and the others could only stand in place like a few wooden stakes, neither daring to raise their heads nor speak. At this moment, they were like students who were punished by their teacher to stand in the school, not even daring to turn their eyes.

Especially those few people who hadn’t seen Wen Chi alot, they never dreamed that they would one day see such a different side of His Highness ……… It was really shocking.

They are all wives and concubines. They have been married for many years and even their children are running around. But have they ever held their concubines and handled official business like His Highness the Crown Prince did?

Shi Ye had no idea that those people had thought about so many messy things during this short time. After he comforted Wen Chi, his tone suddenly became cold, and he said, “Continue.”
