Yixuan went back to the palace to sleep after drinking the sobering soup, and it was late at night when she woke up, she was the only one in the warm pavilion, and the room was very dark. Her head was still aching a little, and she raised her hand to rub it, lifted the bed curtain and got out of bed.
The warm pavilion and the outer room are separated by thick felt curtains, Yixuan opened the curtain, and a candlelight suddenly appeared in front of her, she squinted her eyes to get used to it for a while, and then opened it again, and found Zhao Zhen sitting next to the desk, and there were a lot of official documents on the table.
There is only a heater outside, not as warm as in the warm pavilion, Yixuan didn't wear a coat, just wearing a nightgown and came out, she couldn't help but feel cold, and immediately sneezed.
Zhao Zhen raised his head from the pile of briefs when he heard the movement, looked at her with some surprise, and walked over to hug her and take her to the warm pavilion.
Yixuan rubbed her nose, followed by another sneeze.
Zhao Zhen found a crane to put on her, tucked her neckline tightly, put her hand down again, and grabbed her two little hands to feel the temperature.
It's quite warm.
He said, "Let someone cook you a bowl of ginger soup." โ
"No, you don't."
Zhao Zhen ignored her, held her face with both hands, stared at her and said, "You stay here and don't move, I'll go out and tell them." โ
He turned around and walked away, Yixuan couldn't hold him, and stood a little sluggishly in place for a while, completely ignoring his "stay here and don't move" instructions, and went to the outer room where he used to sit and sat down.
At this time, the maids were all asleep, and the tea room was locked, so Zhao Zhen went to call someone in person, and it was a little far to walk over and back. When he came back, he saw the girl sitting on a chair, obediently waiting for him. She held her cheeks with both hands, her head was lowered, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and her long black hair was casually placed on her shoulders, like a black silk satin, because the curled curve of her hair during the day.
Quiet and soft, the years are quiet.
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and walked towards her with a smile in his eyes.
Yixuan raised her head and smiled at him as well.
"Wait for me?"
"Hmm."
Yixuan hugged the man's waist, rested his head, rubbed it gently, and said, "Aren't you cold watching the music here?" โ
"Sort of."
Yixuan said "ah", "Then why don't you go to the warm pavilion to see it?" โ
Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand and stroked the girl's little head, and his tone was very gentle: "You sleep in it, I'm afraid it will affect you if you light the lamp."
Yixuan looked up at him apologetically and said, "Then you can go in and have a look now." โ
Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little pitiful: "It's so late, you still can't bear to let me watch the twists?" โ
โฆโฆ
Yi Xuan bit her lip and said in a small voice, "If you don't want to watch it, then rest." โ
"How do you rest?"
"Huh?"
Yixuan looked confused.
How else can you rest, it's so late, of course it's sleeping.
Zhao Zhen lowered his eyelids and sighed, "Is there any way you can help me relieve my fatigue?" โ
This question stumped Yixuan.
She felt that the most relieving way was to sleep, and she slept in the dark, and the next morning she was full of energy.
But Zhao Zhen didn't seem to be willing.
"Why don't I pinch your shoulders for you?" Yi Xuan asked not very confidently.
She hadn't helped anyone pinch her shoulder, but it was the only thing she could think of right now.
Zhao Zhen smiled with great interest, "Okay." โ
โโฆโฆโ
The two exchanged places, and Zhao Zhen sat and stood with Yixuan. He leaned back in his chair relaxed, closing his eyes, "Would you pinch your shoulders?" โ
No.
Yixuan didn't speak, Zhao Zhen probably guessed it, and laughed helplessly, "Okay, you can pinch it twice, I don't have any requirements."
โโฆโฆโ
It's useless to have a request.
Yixuan rubbed his palms against him for a while, and then put them on one of his shoulders, afraid of pinching him, so he dared to exert himself a little, and asked worriedly: "Does it hurt?" โ
"It doesn't hurt." Zhao Zhen hooked his lips, "I have rough skin and thick meat, don't worry." โ
โโฆโฆโ
Yi Xuan pressed hard for a while, Zhao Zhen had a normal expression as if she was tickling him, Yi Xuan was a little unhappy, stood on tiptoe, and pinched Zhao Zhen's shoulder with the strength of breastfeeding.
Zhao Zhen tilted his head to look at her, "Tantrums?" โ
"Nope."
Zhao Zhen put his arm around her waist and sat on her lap, "That's tired." โ
She shook her head.
It's just that the first time I pinched his shoulder, I suffered such a setback, and I didn't feel a sense of accomplishment.
Zhao Zhen stared at her for a while, and suddenly smiled gently, "I feel very comfortable." The lady pinched it so well. โ
Yi Xuan looked back at him in disbelief.
"Really comfortable?"
"Hmm."
The girl laughed at this time, hugged the man's neck and kissed him on the cheek, and the moment the soft lips touched his skin, there was a sudden itchy feeling, which made him feel strange. He looked down at the girl's clear eyes and muttered in a low voice, "You seduced me." โ
As soon as he finished speaking, before he could do anything, Shuang'er appeared outside the door.
"Lord and princess, the decanting soup is ready."
Shuang'er saw the two masters who were entangled in twisted sugar, and lowered their heads as if they didn't see it. If she has seen a lot of this kind of thing, it is not strange that she has no waves in her heart and even wants to yawn.
She felt a gaze, raised her head, and sure enough, she saw the prince staring at her resentfully.
โฆโฆ
Presumably he blocked the prince's good deeds.
Shuang'er put down the ginger soup with an expression of "I don't know anything", and said, "I made two bowls, and the princess and princess can drink one bowl for each person, so as not to catch a cold." Slaves...... Do you want to step back first? โ
Zhao Zhen nodded.
Shuang'er hurriedly left, like the wind under his feet.
The ginger soup was served in a covered bowl, and Zhao Zhen lifted the lid and it was still steaming. He stirred it with a spoon and blew it a few times, asking to feed Yixuan to drink.
Yi Xuan is embarrassed.
It's not about drinking medicine, drinking ginger soup, why do you want someone to feed it?
She stubbornly took the spoon from Zhao Zhen's hand, picked up her own bowl, and drank it in small sips. Jiang Wei'er was a little rushed, she drank it and frowned, but she hated catching a cold and getting sick more than ginger, so she pinched her nose and drank it.
The girl's drink seemed to be leaking, and soup flowed from the corners of her mouth, gathering into small drops hanging on her chin. Yixuan felt it, and hurriedly prepared to put down the soup bowl and wipe her mouth with a handkerchief first, and felt that someone used her thumb to wipe it off.
The fingertips are a little cold, and a little rough, and her chin is so itchy.
She put down the ginger soup and winked at Zhao Zhen softly.
Zhao Zhen licked off the little ginger soup left on his lips, this action was inexplicably sultry and a little evil by him. Yi Xuan felt a stream of heat burn to the base of her ear, and she guessed that her face must be red.
Annoying.
She hurriedly picked up the bowl again, drank it carefully, for fear that another soup would run down, and then he reached out to help her wipe it off.
But I'm afraid of what's coming.
She felt a stream of water meander mischievously from the corners of her mouth, still following the same wet trajectory as before.
โฆโฆ
She stuck her tongue out and tried to lick it off before the water reached her chin, cutting off her beard halfway.
The girl's every move was in Zhao Zhen's eyes.
He raised his eyebrows, his throat was so dry, he leaned over, didn't give her a chance to react, and kissed her directly.
The kiss between the two was a bit spicy.
But after a long time, I feel quite sweet.
Well, it's sweet.
*
Yixuan was tossed by him enough this night.
But my mind is gradually clearing.
During the day, she could vaguely recall what Zhao Zhen told her in the wine shop.
She couldn't remember the specific words, which probably meant that he wouldn't care about his mother's affairs all day long, but handed his mother over to her.
This...... Are you sure you're not embarrassing her?
"Did you tell me that you were going to hand over your mother to me?"
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes." โ
"You want me to serve your mother?"
In fact, Yixuan also has the consciousness of being a daughter-in-law, and it is also appropriate to serve her mother-in-law, but the concubine has such a big prejudice against her, it is strange not to take this opportunity to tease her.
Even if the concubine was her mother-in-law, she didn't want to be bullied like this.
"It's not to serve, it's just to care." Zhao Zhen paused for a while, thinking about how to explain this difference to her, "If you have nothing to do, go and accompany my mother, let her see your benefits, and she will naturally slowly change her opinion of you." I try not to interfere in your affairs, if she treats you badly, you can deal with it, right? โ
It's not that he doesn't want to interfere, it's really powerless. There is anything between the two women that can still be clarified, if this matter is related to him and he is in charge, then there is no way at all.
And he has confidence in Yixuan, she will never let people bully her and not fight back.
Yi Xuan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "Okay." So what if the concubine comes to complain to you? โ
"I just said I couldn't handle it."
Yi Xuan looked at him and smiled, "Then from tomorrow onwards, my mother's food, clothing, housing and transportation will all be arranged by me, so you don't have to worry about it." I will also ask Hu Zhixian to come to the diagnosis and treatment on time for her illness, you don't have to worry. โ
He was certainly not worried. He understands Yixuan's style of acting, and he is meticulous and proper. He held her wrist and pressed it against his cheek, and said in a low voice: "I heard that before my mother's accident, you often went to feed medicine and serve the sick. โ
Yixuan didn't expect him to mention this suddenly, and she didn't know if he was going to ask her about her guilt next, so she was a little nervous, and her fingers curled.
"Yes."
Although the two couldn't see each other clearly in the dark night, Zhao Zhen could still feel this change in her mood, and kissed her fingers very gently and hugged her tightly.
"Thank you." He said, "I couldn't fulfill my filial piety by my mother's side, but you were guarding her." โ
Yi Xuan's eyes suddenly became sour.
She didn't expect him to say such a thing to her.
Why and thank her?
She's not worth it.
At the beginning, she was only ashamed because she fooled Zhao Zhen to the northwest, and the only son of the concubine could not be filial piety by her side, so she felt ashamed, so she often ran to the concubine.
Moreover, she also concealed the news that the concubine was seriously ill, so that Zhao Zhen could not see his mother for the last time, and she hated him for five years.
Of course, now whether this concubine is real or not, she can't be sure yet. If the concubine in front of her is real, then her sins have been lightened a little.
"Actually, I concealed the news that the concubine was seriously ill, and the whole city was under martial law. Aren't you angry? โ
She felt the need to tell him the truth.
