When I returned to the palace, it was already a long time since the usual meal.

As I expected, Fu Zhenzhen did not send an attendant to find out my whereabouts, nor did he come to ask me about the meal, and he did not even know my itinerary for today, but someone informed him early that I would not return early, and told him that he did not have to wait for me to eat by himself - this prescient person, if he did not think about it, it must be Jiang Zhuo.

No wonder God mysteriously left for a while in the morning, it turned out that he had gone to order the attendants.

I did not debunk her little trick by laughing at her, but I rejoiced in her possessiveness for me, and I was able to force myself to eat it all without changing my face, because when I was dining with her, I was still retaliating against her for the trivial prank of adding a lot of yams to my bowl, and I could force myself to eat it all without changing my face—after all, no matter how unpalatable this yam was, it was also her "heart", and I could not bear to refuse.

After dinner and a walk in the garden, I consciously followed her back to Tingxue Pavilion.

Even if it was something that had been promised to her, it didn't matter if it would attract gossip and even Yan Ke's attention—I just didn't want to admit it, so I suppressed the idea of being intimate with her day and night in the secret of my heart.

As usual, he dismissed all the attendants, washed up with her, and then rested in the room.

This time I was very awake and not sleepy, tossing and turning around under the quilt with inexplicable anticipation and fear of some kind of imminent behavior.

Looking at Jiang Zhuo, who was slowly understanding the belt of his bedrobe, racking his brains to think of a topic to alleviate the discomfort of this moment, a flash of inspiration, suddenly appeared about the day's events, and naturally mentioned the third prince: "Speaking of which, the skills of those guards of the ukuli are quite good!" Especially the male guard, the skin is healthy wheat, and he looks very sunny, but he is too stereotyped......"

Before I finished speaking, I was keenly aware of the stagnation of the atmosphere, and when I thought about it, I suddenly wanted to slap myself - is there a more wrong topic to praise other people of the opposite sex in front of my lover?

No one would be happy if they changed, would they?

What's more, it is Jiang Zhuo, who is light on the surface and is actually more vinegar than anyone else...... Am I digging a hole for myself?

With a wry smile and seeing her lie down with her back to me, without saying a word, I couldn't help beating my pillow in frustration: Look, I knew she must be angry.

"Jiang Zhuo, Jiang Zhuo?" Tentatively poked her back, poked a few times and she didn't react, and later, she tightened her muscles, but taught me that my fingers hurt, "You just snort, don't ignore me~"

"Since His Royal Highness likes the barbarians of the Lintoe Country, just open his mouth to ask the third prince for it, presumably he will not refuse to agree for the sake of the diplomatic relations between the two countries." Shrinking her shoulders, she was silent again.

I felt helpless, but I couldn't help but want to laugh - why did I think she was so cute when she was jealous? If it weren't for the fear that the joke would end too badly, I really wanted to continue teasing her......

After thinking about it, I reached out and wrapped my arms around her waist, raised my foot to hook her legs, and most of my body lay on her back, holding her down firmly, and waited until she symbolically struggled a few times before she stopped moving, and then whispered in her ear: "It is true that the third prince's guard looks excellent and very likable, but what does that have to do with me?" My heart has long been occupied by a jealous silly girl. ”

- That silly girl, sometimes calm and handsome enough to scream, sometimes so arrogant and naïve that to madden, but no matter what she looks like, I can't do anything about her.

Listening to me slowly dissect my heart with her with a smile, Jiang Zhuo just listened quietly at first, and suddenly turned over, pressed me under him, and looked down at me directly, looking at me with a look of disgust and annoyance.

"Don't you know my mind?" Taking advantage of her softening, I quickly pressed her hand to her chest and swore an oath: "If you don't believe it, touch it, see if it's beating for you." ”

looked at each other for a moment, but she was defeated first, turned to the side and lay down, and snorted softly: "Flim flamboyant." ”

In the end, I didn't shake off the hand I had quietly searched for.

He smiled silently, clasped his hands and fingers clasped, just lying side by side like this, doing nothing, but more fulfilled and satisfied than ever.

Staring at the carved flowers on the top of the bed, I was stunned for a while, and I suddenly opened my mouth to break the silence - only because there was a question that had bothered me for a long time, although asking would inevitably ruin the excellent atmosphere at the moment, but I didn't know if I could still open my mouth if I missed this moment: "Jiang Zhuo, tell me about you, I want to know you better, okay?" ”

"What do you want to know?" Her voice was steady, but her grip on my hand tightened involuntarily.

"Well, for example, who else is in your family?" Playing with the thin calluses on her fingertips, I asked casually.

"My parents died early, and there is no collateral relationship, doesn't Your Highness know?" She glanced at me lightly, meaning uncertainly, "Every palace guard should have a file on file. ”

I knew the file she said, and I had seen it from Bingsan, but I still wanted to know everything about her from her mouth with my own ears, as if it had an extraordinary meaning—but she probably misunderstood me, thinking that I was suspicious of her.

I didn't know how to justify, so I simply asked: "That day, Princess Jiang Lanyi told me before leaving, her real name is Jiang Yan, from the Rongxi Jiang family, I don't know if you recognize her?" ”

I turned to the side, looked up into her eyes, and asked after considering the words, "She also said that she is the only daughter of the Jiang family and has never had a sister." ”

The silence, the restless palpitations spread, and I met her eyes, and I felt as if I had crashed into a bottomless pool, cold to the heart, but overflowing with a trace of sadness—I could not help but regret it.

Just when I was thinking about how to divert the topic, I heard her whisper: "I am indeed the adopted daughter of the Jiang family. My mother said that she had picked me up on a snowy night, when they had just lost their child, and thought that I had been merciful to make amends to them, so they took me as their own daughter and loved me in every way. Although they have mentioned their own daughters to me, they don't want to say more, for fear that they will be sad, so I don't dare to ask more. ”

She spoke lightly about her past, and her tone was as calm as if she was recounting the affairs of others: "After they died, only an old servant and attendant were left to stay in the old mansion and grow up with me. ”

I was fascinated by what I heard, but she stopped abruptly, and hurriedly grabbed her hand and urged, "What else? What else? ”

"It's gone." She tried to withdraw her hand, but I pressed it tightly to her chest, and helplessly turned her face and asked, "What else do you want to know?" ”

"Hmm...... You said you also have an old servant and squire at home, what's the matter with that squire? How old is it? Did you make a promise? Also, he's ...... Does it look good with me? Before the last question came out, I wanted to bite my tongue: the intention was too obvious!

I said that it was an attendant, and I asked what I was doing so much?

"Oh, you mean Ah Xing, he has served me since he was a child, and he should be nineteen this year, but he has never been married. It stands to reason that he is my little roommate, unless he made some big mistake and taught me to expel me from the lintel, otherwise he will follow me for the rest of his life. Jiang Zhuo replied casually as if he hadn't noticed my careful thoughts, "As for the appearance, it is naturally far worse than you, but after so many years, it is also pleasing to the eye." ”

Growing up together since childhood, isn't that a childhood sweetheart, the love between the two little ones?

Follow her all my life, so what am I?

Tong, room, small, house, is that what I understand?

It turns out that she has already had someone else besides me, and I am still complacent, thinking that each other is each other's first love...... So, when Jiang Zhuo kissed me, did she think of her little girl named A-Xing?

Will you compare me to him?

When I think about it, I just feel like it's hard to breathe.

"Why is your face so ugly?" She suddenly approached my eyes, so close, almost face to face, lip to lip talk, teaching me to lose the focus of my gaze, "You are only allowed to warblers and warblers in the backyard, a hundred flowers are competing, but I am not allowed to have a roommate?" His Highness is too domineering. ”

"This, this is different!" I held back my tears, avoiding her intimacy, angry and trying to justify myself, "I am with them, they ...... Anyway, I haven't touched them! ”

I don't know if Kuang Xihan had any connection with these flowers and plants in the past, but when she acted with Jiang Zhuo that time, it was clear that she was still red, so it can be seen that she was just acting on the spot, and she never moved her real character.

When I was choking up, I heard her sneer, nodded the tip of my nose, the corners of my lips were slightly raised, her eyes were smiling, and her voice was a little sigh and a little gentleness: "I haven't said anything yet, why are I in a hurry?" Since you haven't touched those beautiful people, don't I look like a clean person? ”

Realizing what she meant, I burst into tears and laughed, but I was embarrassed by my impulsiveness, so I quickly twisted myself and buried myself in the pillow and loaded the ostrich.

She patted me on the back and whispered, "I don't know who my biological parents are, why they abandoned me; When he was young, he only knew that he was desperately practicing martial arts and studying, lest he be abandoned by his adoptive parents. Ah Xing has been with me for many years, and I am like family, I only regard him as a brother and nothing else. ”

Listening to her explain to me in a good voice, I should have breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason my heart was so sour, I didn't care about the shyness and sadness of self-pity, turned around and hugged her, and promised repeatedly: "It's okay, you still have me, I won't leave you...... I won't. ”

"Really?" She bit her lip lightly, and there was a little fragility and hesitation in her eyes.

I only felt distressed, and without hesitation, I raised my palm: "I swear." ”

"Don't say ......" she grabbed my lips and shook her head.

"If you break this oath, you will be destroyed, and you will not die well......" gently brushing her hand, I said the most vicious punishment I could think of—if my persistence could teach her peace of mind, why not?

I won't abandon her - I am so convinced of this at this moment.

She looked at me deeply, as if she wanted to see me into my heart.

Suddenly, she took me into her arms, held my hand, and said in a deep voice, "Sleep." ”

It's rare that her hands are a little cold, but I don't want to let go, I just want to use my body temperature to help her heat up.

"Jian Xin, did I say that I am at ease by your side." Before I was about to fall asleep, I vaguely heard her whisper in my ear.

――Do you feel at ease?

…… Me too.
