Dianxia Qingcheng

g in front of the Emperor.

 Those officials looked at each other helplessly (2), and said to the Fourth Prince together, “Your Highness, this…”

 The Fourth Prince stood up straight and closed his eyes, “You withdraw first.”

 Those people hurried out of the study as if they had received an 'exempt from punishment' order.

 The study suddenly became quiet.
Qi Changyi, who was still lying under the desk, listened carefully.
Everyone should have left.

 His legs were already numb from kneeling.
But with the corners of Pei Zheng's robe covering his body, he didn't feel cold anymore.
He even felt the heat from Pei Zheng's legs, and couldn't help leaning towards the source of the warmth. 

 At this moment, Pei Zheng withdrew the fingers that kneaded the earlobe.
The skin that was white and almost transparent now turned red, as if it was about to drip blood. 

 Qi Changyi secretly moved on Pei Zheng's legs.
Pei Zheng moved back slightly, looking under the desk with his eyes down.

 The little man was lying on his lap with half of his body, and happened to raise his eyes to look at him.
Together with the white clothes on his body, he is very well-behaved like a little rabbit who people are fond of. 

 Pei Zheng's line of sight was involuntarily attracted by his small red earlobes, which were his masterpiece.

 Qi Changyi moved his mouth, asking “Pei-Gege, can I go out?”

 As a result, before Pei Zheng could answer, the sullen voice of the Fourth Prince in the study sounded.

 “Lord Pei, This Prince is still standing here and you just ignore it without even looking at This Prince? What good things are there under the desk that can make Lord Pei look so fascinated?”
