Chapter 62: Here Is My Home (ǀ)

Translator: Peggyan

When Xu still wore this silly look, Shi already stood in front of him.

Xu didn’t resume his consciousness until Shi got so close to him.

After that, Xu brightened his eyes.

“Sister-in-law!” shouted Xu in excitement.

All the eunuchs and palace maids, “…”

Shi almost got chocked on Xu’s words, but Xu ran inside already.

“Ah, sorry.” Xu instantly apologized to Shi. “Elder brother told me not to call you like this, for you would be unhappy. He asked me to call you Elder Brother Shi.”

All the eunuchs and palace maids, “…”

Shi said with his eyes narrowed, “Elder brother?”

“Yes.” Xu continued in excitement, “Elder Brother Shi, you’re more beautiful than I imagined.”

Shi, “…”

Xu said with intoxication, “Elder Brother Shi, I deemed it womanish to describe a man as beautiful, but now I finally understand there are different kinds of beauties! Well, I only can use ‘exceedingly charming’ to describe you.”

Shi, “…” He suddenly found himself stupid after he had felt unpleasant for such a long time because of Xu’s appearance.

Perhaps, the intelligence was not right as if what the naked eyes saw might be false…

Long had explained to Shi that they got drunk and purely slept together.

However, the rumor told another story.

Seeing the teenager in front of him, Shi considered Xu a little silly, especially for Xu’s eyes.

If Xu disguised himself, then Xu must be really good at it, for even Shi couldn’t spot a flaw.

What if Xu didn’t disguise himself?

Shi slightly curled the corners of his lips. “Elder Brother Shi, is it fun fighting at the border?”

“Fun is an inappropriate word to depict wars,” said Shi lightly.

“Uh…” Xu immediately scratched his head with embarrassment. “I know that…Elder Brother Shi, er, I was only asking. Can you tell me something about the border? I haven’t been there yet!”

Shi slightly narrowed his eyes.

After a long time, Shi talked about the border…

Xu listened to Shi with bright eyes, a scene that Long saw after finishing the morning session and coming to the Qiankun Palace.

Was his sworn little brother having a nice talk with his empress?

Long couldn’t help twitching the corners of his lips and walked inside.

“Xu You, what are you doing here? Your Elder Brother Shi just got back last night and needs rest now. Did he wake up to welcome you after you showed up?”

Hearing this, Xu fiercely tapped his head. “Ah, I didn’t think of this…right, Elder Brother Shi just came back and must be very tired. I was too excited…”

Long sighed and sat beside Shi. “Qingzhou, are you tired?”

As he spoke, Long squeezed Shi’s shoulders, which looked like that Long curried favor with Shi.

Shi narrowed his eyes again.

An emperor wasn’t supposed to do such an action, but Long did it.

Shi paid careful attention to Xu’s reaction and only saw tease, not jealous, in his eyes…

Shi was silent for a moment but didn’t refuse Long’s behavior.

Thus, Long used his two hands to massage Shi with more strength.

All the eunuchs and palace maids lowered their heads as if seeing nothing.

As a modern person, Xu had lived in this world for six years, but he wasn’t afraid of Long, because Long was a modern person, too.

Therefore, Xu directly made fun of Long. “Elder brother, you’re awesome. Your massage skills are really good!”

“Of course.” Long said with a sneer, “You should learn this from me. Otherwise, I’m afraid Fang Shuoyang will desert you.”

“Fang Shuoyang?” asked Shi with his brows cocked. “Who is Fang Shuoyang?”

Long explained with a smile, “Fang Shuoyang is his lover and the young master of Sky Hermit Fort. But, Fang’s parents didn’t agree them to be together, found a woman for Fang, and wanted to harm him, so he escaped.”

“Elder brother,” cried Xu. “How could you tell my matters so loudly…it’s too embarrassing, isn’t it?”

Long grinned at Xu. “Don’t worry, your Elder Brother Shi isn’t an outsider and is way better than you in martial arts. So he may help you.”

“Uh.” Xu said with a nod, “You’re right…Elder Brother Shi, thanks for this!”

Shi said with a faint smile, “En…”

Long asked, “Haven’t you eaten breakfast?”

“No, no.” Xu immediately nodded. “Elder brother, I’m hungry.”

Long rolled his eyes. “You’re a pig. What else are you capable of except for getting hungry and eating?”

Xu felt a little sad. “Elder brother, how could you say this to me?”

Shi interrupted them with a smile, “I’m hungry, too.”

Long said immediately upon hearing this, “Qingzhou, you get hungry? I’ll order breakfast to be served.”

Such a distinct treatment made Xu shout. “Elder brother, you’ve done too far. How could you act like this?”

Long said with a smile, “A sworn brother is different from a lover. Don’t you know this? I don’t mind if you treat your lover better than me!”

Xu instantly turned darkened.

Shi raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

Long ordered breakfast to be served, so breakfast was placed on the table shortly.

The three sat together to enjoy breakfast. Among them, Xu had the worst table manners. Shi slowly ate breakfast, which formed a beautiful picture to behold.

Long squinted at Xu up and down and said, “Xu You, just then I learn of your ugly table manners. Is this the reason why your parents-in-law don’t like you?”

Xu twisted the corners of his lips. “Elder brother, you turn bad. You were not this before. When Elder Brother Shi came back, you’ve changed. You like to give blows to me!”

Long grinned at Xu with his white teeth shown. “Is that so?”

“Yes!” Xu complained of Long with indignant.

However, Long totally neglected Xu.

Under the circumstances, Xu sadly finished breakfast.

After breakfast, Long made Shi lie on the bed to rest after asking Xu to leave!

Shi couldn’t sleep while lying on the bed against his will.

Long didn’t expect Shi to fall sleep right away and just declared his stand that he didn’t want to Shi to get tired.

Hence, Long placed all the imperial reports at Shi’s bedroom and dealt with them right in front of the bed.

Shi watched Long and then asked, “Did you meet the envoys of the Northern Barbarians?”

“No, I didn’t. I plan to neglect them for two days. It isn’t urgent,” said Long directly.

Shi nodded and asked again, “Are you going to agree on the peace proposal?”

“Eh.” Long said with a nod. “Qingzhou, I’m honest with you, I don’t want to dominate the world. Our people aren’t fit to live in the Northern Land. What if we defeat them? Frankly, I dislike there at all.”

Shi thought about it for a while and nodded after a pause. “Point taken.”

Long said with a smile, “Do you think I’m not ambitious?”

Shi replied while shaking his head. “No, I don’t. Your Majesty, you have far-reaching thoughts. After conquering the Northern Land, we have to manage it. Besides, the people there will fight against us. Even if we can resort to force, the price is rather big.”

“That’s right.” Long said with a nod, “It’s easy to occupy the Northern Land, but the management is rather difficult. What’s more, when the country is going down, its people will put up a desperate fight, so we’ll pay big prices. If the small country in the east takes advantage of this, chaos will be made. In that case, we can’t seize the Northern Land for the time being.”

Shi nodded and smiled. “Your Majesty, I’m afraid you’ll utilize this chance to dominate the world considering the good situation.”

“Haha.” Long burst into laughter. “I’m not that ambitious. After all, our country is vast enough.”

Shi chuckled. “Eh. Your Majesty, when you agree with the Northern Barbarians to enter the imperial city, I know the war is about to be over. I think it’s good.”

“Eh.” Long said with his eyes fixed on Shi, “Qingzhou, I haven’t extended my thanks to you yet. Thank you for not only guarding against the border but also fighting bravely to seize three cities of the Northern Land. Qingzhou, you’re awesome!”

Shi paused for a while and felt bashful for such a compliment, especially for the softness in Long’s eyes…

“Your Majesty, you were flattering me.”

“Alas…” Long sighed. “Qingzhou, why do you still call me Your Majesty?”

Long winked.

Seeing such an innocent look of Shi, Long couldn’t help bowing his head down to kiss Shi’s lips. “Qingzhou, are you in pain?”

“What?” Shi felt confused.

Long whispered in Shi’s eyes, “I was too excited last night….there were so many times I couldn’t control myself…”

Shi shook his head and said with his ears reddened, “No…”

“Not in pain?” Long kissed Shi’s reddish ears. “Then can we continue tonight?”

Shi subconsciously changed his look, making Long laugh unconsciously. “Qingzhou, you’re still in pain, aren’t you?”

Shi looked away and directly neglected Long.
