Chapter 37: The Vigil
The foundation of the Hou Mansion has long been lost by the late old Hou Ye. This Qin Jiaojiao thought that if she got the right to be a housekeeper, she would be able to be a master, when she knew that the Hou Mansion was just an empty shell, she was disappointed and angry, and then thought that Meng Youyou and Xue Pingping had a lot of good things in their hands, but she couldn't get any of them, of course she was so jealous that she wanted to go crazy.
People's desires are never satisfied, and Meng Youyou sighed and went to the back room. Xue Pingping followed step by step, with no intention of returning to his yard at all.
The sky was already dark, the red sandalwood lit the lamp, the green bamboo also burned incense, the tea and pastries were served, and the two little maids sat behind the screen and embroidered.
Meng Youyou sat under the lamp, took a book and looked at it, Xue Pingping sat opposite her, looking at her.
"Aren't you going back to rest, aren't you going to enter the palace on an errand tomorrow?" Dream Youyou was stared at by him, and he couldn't concentrate at all.
"I won't enter the palace until tomorrow afternoon, and I'll accompany you for a while." Xue Pingping said very naturally.
Dream is quiet but uncomfortable to hear, who wants you to accompany you? But he didn't leave with his face, and it was not easy to chase him, so he had to turn around and face him sideways.
"Reading under the lamp is easy to spoil your eyes." Xue Pingping reminded.
"Well, I know, I'll stop watching it for a while." But I muttered in my heart: If you don't leave here, I can't rest. Meng Youyou couldn't help but cover her mouth and yawn.
"Do you know how I can stay with the emperor on an errand?"
"Well, how do you do that?" Xue Pingping's words refreshed Meng Youyou, she had been curious, but she didn't ask.
Xue Pingping walked towards her, Meng Youyou immediately nervously guarded, last time he secretly kissed him while she was sleeping, but he couldn't let him have a chance to take advantage of it again.
"You sit down, I won't do anything to you, just help you relieve your fatigue and relax, this is the way to make the emperor take a fancy to me." Xue Pingping said, put a pair of warm hands on her shoulders, and gently squeezed them.
Meng Youyou wanted to get up, but he pressed it, and with the movement of Xue Pingping's hands, her stiff body slowly relaxed.
Usually the red sandalwood and green bamboo also massages her to relieve fatigue, but she always feels itchy, so she only lets them knock on her back. Xue Pingping's technique, but he didn't feel itchy at all, he only felt that the strength was moderate, straight to the point, relieved and relaxed, and it was very comfortable.
Although Xue Pingping was quietly and honestly massaging her, his mind was turning back and forth.
Her hair was so black, smooth and shiny, and the fragrance lingered on the end of her nose. Her skin is so white, tender and smooth, like a piece of transparent jade fat. Her skin and bones are just the right amount of firmness and smoothness, which is reverie...... Swallowing his saliva silently, his hands were meticulous, and he told himself in his heart that he couldn't act rashly, otherwise he would annoy her and give up all his efforts.
As soon as Meng Youyou relaxed, she was a little drowsy, and she wanted to ask Xue Pingping to stop, but Xue Pingping gently "shhh
Xue Pingping rubbed the sleeping point on the back of her neck for a while, and Meng Youyou couldn't hold it anymore, lowered her eyelids, and fell asleep.
Xue Pingping heard her breathing evenly and knew that she was asleep, so he stopped, walked in front of her, gently picked her up, walked to the bed, carefully put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and carefully pressed the corners of the quilt.
Seeing the two maidservants yawning, he went over and said, "Go and rest also, for I will keep vigil here tonight." ”
"Huh? Not so well, how can you keep a vigil? Rosewood asked suspiciously.
"I'm her husband, I keep vigil for my wife, what's wrong. Go and rest, you've been doing well lately, and you'll be rewarded tomorrow. ”
When the two maids heard that they were rewarded, they didn't think much about it, they went down obediently, and closed the door when they left.
Xue Pingping returned to the bedside, staring at Meng's quiet sleeping face and admiring it, his eyebrows were like Yuandai, his eyelashes were like an ink fan, his nose was small, and his cherry lips were moist. Xue Pingping controlled the impulse of a kiss Fang Ze, and gently lay down sideways beside her, looking at her like this, his eyes did not blink, and his body did not move.
"Daddy...... Father! Meng Youyou didn't know what she had dreamed about, frowned, and anxiously called out to her father twice. Xue Pingping patted her back and gently comforted her in her ear: "Youyou is not afraid, I am here, I am here." ”
Meng Youyou really quieted down, and his frowning brows were loosened, and he didn't wake up.
Xue Pingping maintained the posture of patting her back, holding her, thinking about it, but he never dared to move, afraid that she would wake up and that she would be angry.
I don't know when Xue Pingping fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Meng Youyou hadn't opened her eyes yet, she only felt that she had slept very well this night, and she wanted to stretch her waist, but she found that something was pressing on her waist, she immediately opened her eyes, it was Xue Pingping! How did he ...... How did you sleep in your own bed?
A handsome face close at hand, with sword eyebrows and a straight nose, surrounded her with a warm breath exhaled, which was not disgusting, but still felt ...... Peace! On his waist is his strong arm, he was held by him and slept all night, but he didn't even notice it, and he slept soundly, it was really ...... I'm going to die!
Meng Youyou carefully removed his arm, got out of bed gently, and quickly checked his clothes, except for a little messy, they were also intact. Breathing a sigh of relief, she walked outside, she had to educate Zi Sandalwood and Green Bamboo well, how could she casually let others spend the night in her room!
When Meng Youyou turned around and went out, Xue Pingping on the bed opened his eyes and showed a satisfied smile. She didn't annoy herself, which means that she is slowly accepting herself, it's really good, her sincere dedication will impress her sooner or later!
Xue Pingping was in a good mood, got up proudly in the spring breeze, walked outside, and saw that Meng Youyou had finished washing up and was preparing for breakfast.
"Madame, morning! Did you sleep well last night? ”
Meng Youyou's face was calm, and he said with a frosty voice: "In the future, you are not allowed to stay here without my permission." Although her face was cold, she could still see that the roots of her ears were slightly red.
"Madam, I was about to leave last night, you don't know what kind of dream you had, you pulled me and didn't let me go, so I stayed with you, but I didn't do anything, although I like you, but I will never do anything against your will." Xue Pingping said it rightly.
In this way, she spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? It is true that he has occasional nightmares, but he pulls him and doesn't let him go...... What a shame! Meng Youyou felt that her face was heating up, she must be very red, and her tone of voice became weaker: "Then, thank you, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”
Xue Pingping sat opposite her, served her a bowl of porridge, and said in a deep voice: "You are my wife, it is my responsibility to protect you and take care of you." Even in my dreams, I hope that I can be by your side when you are sad and sad. ”
"I ...... Be able to take care of yourself. Regarding Xue Pingping's confession, Meng Youyou didn't fully believe it.
Since her father died, no one has been heard to protect her and take care of her. In the past few years, she has become accustomed to being alone and has learned to be strong and forbearing, but Xue Pingping's words still moved her a little.
