Chapter 73: The Gentle Prince and the Sick Princess (5)
In the middle of the night, the palace is lit up with dim lights, the sky is slightly cool, the moonlight is like water, reflecting on the steps, everything is quiet and peaceful.
Jinxiu, who guarded the door, was also tired from a day's work, accidentally squinted, and rested on the edge of the door for a while.
Who knew that when she heard the footsteps again and woke up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already come to the gate with a group of people, and Jinxiu panicked and wanted to run to the house to wake up Lan Qing, but was stopped by the eunuch in charge first.
"What's wrong? So flustered? ”
Jinxiu had no choice but to walk over with a numb scalp and whispered, "Girl, she...... Still resting. ”
The steward eunuch was stunned for a moment, looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had no mood swings around him, and urged Jinxiu with small movements, "Come in quickly, urge the princess to wake up." ”
What is it to sleep on the wedding day?
At this moment, Jiang Rin spoke up, with a faint word.
"It doesn't matter."
When Jinxiu heard this, his footsteps stopped, Jiang Rin had just lost a lot of wine, his jade cheeks were flushed with a light crimson, which reflected the warm lights, and the clear smell of wine was lingering, his eyes remained clear and clear, and his voice was clear, "You guys stay outside." ”
"Yes."
Jiang Rin slowly pushed open the door, the room was burning with red carved lacquer phoenix candles, under the oblique light of the lamp, Lan Qing was lying on the couch on her side, her face covered with red gauze, her body was thin, her clothes were hanging down, revealing her slender white ankles, and her little feet were wearing golden lotus embroidered shoes, hanging on the edge of the bed.
Jiang Rin walked to the side of the bed, hearing Lan Qing's rapid breathing, he bent down, caught a glimpse of the sweat on her slender neck, thought for a moment, he reached out and twisted the red hijab with his fingertips.
Lan Qing frowned tightly, her fair face was exposed, the fat powder was pretty, and her sideburns and forehead were full of cold sweat.
Jiang Rin took the handkerchief on one side, held the wide robe with one hand, and carefully wiped it for her with the other, Lan Qing's breathing gradually stabilized, and she also walked out of the nightmare.
"Awake?" Jiang Rin turned his face sideways, his eyes seemed to be rippling with fluorescence, and he calmly folded the sweat towel on his hand.
“…… Well. ”
Lan Qing's back was still in a cold sweat, and seeing Jiang Rin again made her a little uncomfortable, for her, not long ago, the two of them drowned together under the water.
She leaned her back against the rail, clutching her aching chest, trying to get up and salute.
Jiang Rin took the first step to see through her actions, and reached out to press her shoulder, "No need to salute." ”
“…… Your Highness. ”
Jiang Rin looked at her with her head down, her expression couldn't be seen clearly in the dim candlelight, and a hearty laugh came, and he said softly, "How can you be so afraid of me?" ”
“……”
Lan Qing just didn't think about what to say, it was fundamental to strategically pretend first, so she simply buried herself in the head and didn't say a word.
"There's one thing I want to ask you about, though." Jiang Rin restrained her smile a little, withdrew the hand resting on her shoulder, and said seriously, "Have you ever known each other?" ”
When Jiang Rin heard Lan Qing's name that day, there was a faint movement in his heart, as if he was manipulated by some inexplicable emotion, and it was a bud rooted in his heart, growing silently.
"I didn't want to delay your marriage, but if it wasn't in the name of husband and wife, I would meet you privately, and it would also damage your reputation, so I made this decision." Jiang Rin said very gently, "I checked that you didn't have a lover before, and I also accepted the jade pendant I gave you, and for the rest of my life, I will take responsibility and take good care of you." ”
