Xiao Xu shook her head again, couldn't help but turn around, and looked at Chu Junlan's gentle gaze, under the warm candlelight, her silhouette was softer, her long hair was scattered over her shoulders, and her palm-sized little face was as white as jade.

Seeing Xiao Xu standing still, Chu Junlan couldn't help but smile and get up, put his hands around his neck, and the whole person hung on him, shaking childishly.

"What's wrong? Is it the prince's attitude towards you that makes you feel cold? ”

Xiao Xu's arms hung behind Chu Junlan, in an encircled posture, but they didn't fall for a long time.

Chu Junlan closed his eyes, put his side face on his shoulder and sighed, his voice was a little tired: "It doesn't matter, the days ahead are still long, no matter how the emperor and the prince are ready to treat you, I will accompany you." ”

Xiao Xu's neck and ears were burned red, and the big hand hesitated for a moment, but it finally fell on her. The soft delicate body really made his heart flutter, and he couldn't help but look down at her.

"Okay."

Chu Junlan sneered: "Why are you sick, your temperament has changed back, don't you like to talk to me very much?" ”

"I ...... There is no dislike. ”

"Got it, don't be nervous, Ming'er has to hurry, let's rest."

Chu Junlan climbed onto the wooden bed and lay on his side inside, leaving most of Xiao Xu's position.

Xiao Xu looked at the body of Nephrite Warm and fragrant like a mountain, his Adam's apple rolled for a while, and he hesitated for a long time before taking off his robe and lying down on his back.

Chu Junlan's heart was beating much faster than usual, this was the first time she shared the bed with Xiao Xu, and she didn't expect that it was not on the wedding night, not on the exquisite Qiangong bed, but in such a simple tent in the wilderness, lying on a broken wooden bed that was about to collapse when it shook.

The bedding was too thin, and it was really panicked, and the early spring night was cold and windy, and occasionally the wind could be heard, and the tent would shake with the wind.

This kind of environment is really not romantic, and even gloomy.

But Chu Junlan's heart was unprecedentedly peaceful, she couldn't imagine that the peak would turn around, Xiao Xu was unharmed, and he came to pick her up. Chu Junlan covered the quilt for Xiao Xu, hugged his arm and shrunk to his side. Seeing that Xiao Xu's breathing gradually evened out, she also yawned softly, and fell asleep with her forehead against his upper arm.

In the dark, Xiao Xu slowly opened his eyes, moved gently, pulled his arm back from Chu Junlan's arms, and left the warm and soft embrace, he felt a sense of loss in his heart, and couldn't help but support half of his body to look at her.

Such a neat man, but he was completely defenseless by his side, and his long eyelashes flickered with his breath after falling asleep, like a child.

Xiao Xu's heart suddenly softened, he turned out a silver chain from his neckline, hung the small jade whistle on Chu Junlan's neck again, and finally made her arm as a pillow, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The corners of Chu Junlan's lips in his sleep hooked up a sweet smile.

Returning to Beijing from Qingjian Mountain, the road conditions were not much better than when they came, and when they returned to the land in spring, the snow melted, and it became muddy, which really slowed down their speed, although five hundred soldiers and horses escorted Xiao Xu and his party to march at the fastest speed, and it was the end of March when they arrived in the capital.

When I left, the capital was still covered with snow, and now I can vaguely see a new green after the defeat.

After entering Beijing, Chu Junlan smiled and said, "I want to go back to see my eldest brother first, then go to the Guogong Mansion to have a look, and then go back to the house." ”

Xiao Xu nodded, pursed his thin lips, and said, "I should have accompanied you, but I still have to go to the military department to return the soldiers and horses." Previously, the emperor had an errand to tell me to do it. ”

Chu Junlan nodded understandingly: "It's not good to delay, you can go quickly." It's not that I don't know the way home, when will you get home? I'll wait for you to eat together. ”

"No, you eat first, I don't have a chance here," Xiao Xu refused a little quickly, but looking at the look of confusion on Chu Junlan's delicate and delicate little face, his ears turned red again, and he reached out and pinched her cheek, "Let Jingyu and Huo Yeqing follow, you and I will go." ”

"Okay," Chu Junlan's eyebrows curled with a smile, "Come back early." ”

Looking at the back of Xiao Xu leaving with five hundred soldiers and horses, Chu Junlan's puzzled gaze fell on Jingyu and Huo Yeqing.

Jing Yu smiled and said, "Princess Shizi, let's go to the Maoguo Mansion first, or go to Shichahai first?" ”

Chu Junlan shook his head slightly, frowned, and said, "You didn't tell the prince about my deal with the real person who wanted to do it, did you?" ”

"No, no." Jing Yu shook his head and waved his hand repeatedly, and Huo Yeqing also lowered his head and said, "No." ”

Chu Junlan said: "Why is the son of the world? ”

"What? Princess, what's wrong with the prince? Jing Yu's voice was slightly higher.

Chu Junlan said: "For more than a month, I always feel that the son of the world is not quite right, so I think he knows something, so he will have a pimple in his heart." ”

Not to mention anything else, although Xiao Xu was affectionate and polite to her in the past, sometimes a man's thoughts can't be hidden at all, even if he is cold, there will be times when he can't help himself, especially now that they are a serious couple.

But on the way back to Beijing, they had too many opportunities to stay in a hotel, but they still didn't have a round house, and even Xiao Xu didn't take the initiative to kiss her, and every time she blushed like rouge, so she couldn't wipe her face and ask in person.

Maybe Xiao Xu thinks that things like the round house will have to wait until he returns to the house?

Chu Junlan was not in a hurry to round the house, but felt that Xiao Xu's behavior and attitude were a little abnormal, but if he looked closely, he couldn't see what was wrong.

Chu Junlan went to Shichahai and went back to the Maoguo Mansion again, only saying that he had come back after studying art from his teacher. Because she didn't explain the real reason when she left, the family didn't know that she almost couldn't come back for the rest of her life, and now she was only two months away, so everyone naturally didn't think much about it.

However, when Zi Yuan and Zi Yan saw Chu Junlan, they both cried into tears, knelt in front of her and hugged her legs without letting go.

"If the princess goes out again, she will bring her slaves and maids."

"Yes, the slave maid doesn't want to be separated from the princess in this life."

caused Chu Junlan to cry.

When it was getting late, Chu Junlan returned to the palace.

"Zi Yuan, Zi Yan, you go to Princess Zhang and Princess Cai respectively, and say that I just dared to come back, because it is too late to disturb the rest of the two concubines, Ming'er will go to ask for peace in the morning."

Zi Yuan and Zi Yan should be, and quickly retreated.

Chu Junlan returned to the main house of Jingxuan, and the people sent by Princess Cai, Mother Han, Cui Song, Xi Xue, and Xi Wen entered the door and saluted respectfully.

"The slaves and maids greet the princess."

"Get up."

Chu Junlan turned his wonderful eyes, and found that these people had become a lot more honest, and even his eyes didn't seem to dare to roll around.

Chu Junlan only said a few words, and then ordered these people to retreat.

Jing Yu said with a smile: "After you went out, the prince warned these people, and the prince was strict, and they didn't dare to make a mistake." ”
