At night, the cold moonlight slanted down from the branches of the trees in the garden, through the cracks in the windows, through a thin veil, and hit Ye Chen's calm face.

Thanks to the snow outside the house, thanks to the empty and cold dormitory, and thanks to the brazier that got out of control for some reason, Ye Chen at this moment is full of gratitude for everything in the world. The reason is that Ye Lin, who was cowering in Ye Chen's arms, this is the first time she has taken the initiative to hug her, although it is just for warmth.

Ye Lin, who is weak, has now become particularly afraid of the cold, and she needs several braziers to sleep peacefully during the long winter, however, just when this winter has just come, the brazier suddenly gets out of control, making Ye Lin dare not use it anymore, so there is this scene now.

Looking down at Ye Lin's delicate sleeping face, feeling her warm breath hitting her chest, a fragrance slowly invaded her heart, Ye Chen just looked at it quietly, sometimes happy, sometimes bitterly smiling, thinking a lot. In the continuous relationship, Ye Chen could feel that Ye Lin's gaze towards him was getting more and more gentle and closer, but this was not what Ye Chen wanted, because from beginning to end, Ye Lin's gaze towards him was a gaze towards an important relative, not a man, a husband.

But Ye Chen also knew that this was the reason why Ye Lin was close to him, because he was her eldest brother, a relative who had been with her since she was six years old. Sometimes Ye Chen was thinking, if he was not Ye Lin's eldest brother, would the other party still propose marriage in the palace that day?

The question is just a matter of going through the mind and coming up with the answer, no. Although Ye Lin acted aggressively and informally, she was more wary of men and women than anyone else, and she learned from the conversation between the fishing village and Feng Yi that day. Ye Lin's closeness to Feng Yi on the surface is well known, but Feng Yi finally said with a wry smile that before, when Ye Lin was seriously ill in bed, she still adhered to that trace of vigilance, and her body couldn't be touched by Feng Yi.

At that time, Feng Yi had no evil thoughts in his heart, so when Ye Chen easily appeared in front of everyone with Ye Lin in his arms, he had been jealous for a long time and couldn't let go of it for a long time. Feng Yi is not a person who is difficult to distinguish between male and female, let alone others, as far as Ye Chen knows, Feng Yi is the closest man to Ye Lin among all the men he knows, except for him, by the way, Jing Lian must be excluded.

Jing Lian Ye Chen still can't understand this person's thoughts, there is no trace, no matter whether Ye Lin was forced to treat him as a brother and sister back then, on the point that he is willing to sacrifice for Ye Lin, Ye Chen agrees with this person.

From this, I know that Ye Lin is so close to herself and unguarded, just because she is her relative? Ye Chen suddenly felt helpless, her appearance and talent were useless in Ye Lin's eyes, and she had been working hard until now, in her heart, she was still the eldest brother who cared for her sister.

A little discouraged in his heart, Ye Chen looked at Ye Lin, who was unaware of his mood change at this time, and still absorbed the temperature on his body heartlessly to keep him asleep.

"When will you accept me as a husband?"

Instead of being the eldest brother, he whispered to himself, and the person in his arms suddenly twisted and let out a dissatisfied sigh, Ye Chen quickly loosened his embrace, so that Ye Lin had a comfortable posture to continue to sleep. sighed helplessly, for Ye Lin, Ye Chen really had no way at all, but fortunately, people had been firmly tied to him, and there was still a long time to come.

The next morning, Ye Chen woke up, first looked down at Ye Lin, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and smiled lightly, it seems that Ye Lin can't be seen in the court this winter, he likes this result very much, Ye Lin's beauty only needs to bloom for him, he doesn't like the amazing gaze of other men looking at Ye Lin, especially when Ye Lin becomes more and more beautiful in his eyes.

When Dongling decisively sent troops to attack Ximing, Ye Chen arrested Ye Lin, the empress, and put her under house arrest after winning the battle, so that she could not only protect her safety, but also firmly control her by his side, but it was a pity that he was defeated at the feet of Ye Lin in the first confrontation with Ximing, and the enemy army was stronger than he imagined.

Little by little, he broke free of Ye Lin's arm holding him, the other party let out a snort, and seeing Ye Lin's reluctant expression of attachment unconsciously revealed in his sleep, Ye Chen almost disarmed and gave up Zaochao and lay back on the bed again to warm her, but in the end, he ruthlessly stuffed Ye Lin with a pillow for her to hug and twisted the quilt for her, until Ye Lin's slightly wrinkled face softened again, and then he was willing to leave with confidence.

After that, this situation was almost staged every morning, but Ye Chen, who thought he would slowly get used to it, became more and more ruthless, until one day.

"Huh? Why are you still here? ”

Ye Lin, who woke up naturally from sleep and found that she was lying on Ye Chen's body, couldn't help but raise her head and asked in a daze. In this regard, Ye Chen just pinched Ye Lin's little nose dotingly, and blamed him.

"It's not because you're hurting."

Yes, it was because he woke up in the morning and found Ye Lin sleeping on his stomach, which caused him to be unable to get up without disturbing Ye Lin's sleep, so that he couldn't get up and go to the court.

“？？？”

With a blank face, after Ye Chen explained softly, Ye Lin reached out and combed her messy hair, and then snorted coldly disdainfully, if you are lazy, you are lazy, and you still blame her? Hmph, the inferior nature of men is clear at this moment.

"In other words, are you going to be lazy today?"

Ye Lin opened her mouth to make a summary, and Ye Chen smiled and nodded. "Oh" and continued to bury his head, muttering on his lips.

"Call me for dinner."

After speaking, his body remained motionless, and the cold wind blowing in from outside made it difficult for Ye Lin to give up the "big heater" under him.

"Okay."

When he subconsciously answered this sentence, Ye Chen's heart was incredibly calm, maybe he was completely used to it. But it didn't take long for Ye Lin to wake up not the upcoming lunch, but the information sent by the Holy Guard.

Turning over, after carefully reading this piece of information, Ye Lin smiled.

"It's time to give back."

That sneering look made Ye Chen can't help but guess.

"Prairie."

"That's right, who else is our enemy but it now?"

Ye Lin's face regained confidence and calmness again, and she said slowly.

"From now on, just as we couldn't imagine that they would strike in the summer three months in advance, they would never have imagined that we would come back in the winter."

The Central Plains attacked the grassland in a big way, which was more unimaginable for the grassland people, the two countries had no time to take care of the grassland at all, but when the other side attacked it, they resisted a little and repelled things, and the grassland was vast and boundless, and the various tribes of the grassland often changed their places of residence due to the seasons, and the attack on the grassland was time-consuming and laborious, and no one would do thankless things.

It's just that this time is different from the past, the two countries have merged, and there is only one enemy left in the grassland, and this time in the winter when they are the weakest defense, they will give each other a fatal blow, Ye Lin is full of confidence in this.
