Shen Li turned his head to take a look. As soon as the painting came into his eyes, he suddenly let go of Jin Zhao's hand, and walked over behind Jin Zhao in a hurry.

Just as he was about to put away the painting, Jin Zhao promptly held it in his hand.

Shen Li stretched out his hand to snatch it several times, but failed to grab it, while Jin Zhao looked at him with a smile on his face.

He was even more embarrassed, "You...you give it back to me!"

Jin Zhao deliberately admired the picture, "I didn't expect... Our Highness still has this skill, and I haven't noticed it on weekdays. It turns out... His Highness's drawing skills are so good, and I drew... three points."

Shen Li's face was already blushing, and he didn't want him to look at it at all, so he stretched out his hand and hooked his neck, and asked tentatively, "Then do you want to know... when did I draw it?"

Meeting his affectionate eyes, Jin Zhao nodded in a strange way.

The corners of Shen Li's mouth curved slightly, and when Jin Zhao was about to listen to his next words, the drawing paper he was holding just now was suddenly taken away by him.

Jin Zhao: ...

When he was absent-minded for a moment, his palm was empty.

This man... really took advantage of his thoughts on him.

Shen Li put away the painting intact and put it at the bottom of the scroll, then looked at him and said, "Want to know? I won't tell you." After finishing speaking, he did not forget to wink at him.

This look is...surprisingly...provocative.

Jin Zhao strode over, put his arms around his body, buried his head in his neck, and breathed, "Your Highness, no one told you...can't you be so seductive?"

Shen Li's body was alert, "No one has ever said that... Are you so careless?"

"Whether I've been teased... don't you know? In front of you... my self-control will often collapse and fail completely."

"I didn't want to just now, but now...you're trying to tease me again, why do you think you're at ease?" Jin Zhao continued.

Shen Li said hoarsely: "What can I feel at ease with you?"

"Don't give me sloppy eyes, tell me when the painting was painted just now, otherwise...I won't let you go tonight." Jin Zhao bit his earlobe lightly and said.

Shen Li only felt his body go numb for a while, but he still said stubbornly: "You... you should give up on that, I... I won't say it."

"Actually, I can guess without you telling me that the painting... the ink stains and the color don't seem to be recent, and... I still have short hair.Not long after we met..."

Hearing what he said, a look of panic flashed in Shen Li's eyes, and he blurted out and interrupted him: "You...don't talk nonsense!"

Jin Zhao was just asking tentatively, but he didn't expect him to react like this, and he became more and more convinced that it was the thought just now, and he hugged the person in his arms even tighter.

"So... Your Highness has been interested in me so early..."

Shen Li didn't have the face to listen any longer, turned around and wanted to cover his mouth, but never thought that he would escape from his "claw" quickly.

For a moment, the figures of the two moved quickly in the room, and they didn't stop until they were out of breath.

"Stop making trouble, it's so late, everyone is resting, do you want to wake everyone up?" Shen Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Jin Zhao also took a breath, and replied, "Okay, stop making trouble, come and rest."

Jin Zhao walked over and patted the bed.

Shen Li walked to his side with strides, and could not help complaining: "You are such an adult, why are you still acting like a child, you can really make a fuss."

But have to say that Shen Li was the most relaxed when he was with him.

He'd never...shown this side of himself in front of outsiders.

Jin Zhao put his arms around him, "Because I'm very happy with you, I don't need to worry about too many things, just having you is enough." He can always walk into his heart unexpectedly.

Shen Li leaned in his arms with a gentle expression, without saying a word.

The two gradually let go of their guard and lay down together, not noticing the fleeting appearance of a figure outside the door.

Since Jin Zhao went out, it took a day later for him to return from Li Wang's Mansion.

After returning home, he found that the kitchen was boiling nourishing decoction. After inquiring, he found out that Cui Fengzhi had been drinking it for two days.

Without even thinking about it, he decided on his own not to boil those medicines, and the news immediately reached Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng called Jin Zhao to the room and asked him the reason. He said: "Mother, with his body, he can only rest in rest. Drinking so many tonics will not only fail to nourish, but may also backfire."

"You...you know all about it?" Zheng Shi was slightly surprised.

Jin Zhao said truthfully: "Well, I heard the conversation between you and father that day, and I know that he is not in good health and is not suitable for running around."

Mrs. Zheng was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said: "Oh, so what? Your father... he still has to go, after such a trip, his body... will definitely not be able to bear it, I went to see you yesterdayYour Majesty, it didn't do much."

Seeing Zheng's sad face, Jin Zhao said, "Mother, let me go instead of Dad."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng suddenly looked up at him, "What?"

"Looking back, I just need to tell the emperor that my father fell ill, but there is no one to take this job, and I can't delay it, so I can only let his son take it. I think... If this is the case, the emperor should have no reason to refuse."

Mrs. Zheng didn't consider his opinion carefully, but still smiled and said easy-goingly: "Son, I know you have good intentions, but... this flood control is not the same as going to battle to kill the enemy. It is a laborious job. If you go... I'm afraid it's not appropriate.”

Mrs. Zheng didn't make her words very clear, but Jin Zhao could tell that he was still a layman when it comes to flood control, and it would be useless to go there.

"In this special situation, this is the only appropriate way, and I will not just sit and watch my father's body get damaged."

Seeing his insistence, Zheng was silent for a moment, as if thinking about his words.

"Do you know that if this trip doesn't work, the emperor will probably blame him..."

"Mother, do you have so little confidence in your son?" Jin Zhao didn't argue with her about the previous question, but turned the conversation around.

Mrs. Zheng shook her head hurriedly and said: "Why, I was just worried about your safety. You went to Ping Liang to fight a war earlier, and your father and I were terrified by such a big incident. Fortunately, you kept it from your grandmother, otherwise... the consequences...It's unimaginable, this time... I don't want you to take risks."

What Zheng said was very sincere, and Jin Zhao could feel it, but...

"Mother, I know you are doing it for my own good. Think about it, even if Dad goes to the provincial capital, it is still unknown how long he will stay there, so this trip... must be going."

"I understand what you mean, but even if I agree, he may not agree, and...he has already made up his mind." Zheng said.

Jin Zhao changed his mind and said: "I will leave while he is recuperating, and then you..."

"Nonsense!"
