By the time we arrived at the cold palace, it was already evening.

Under the dim light of the setting sun, the courtyard of the cold palace is quiet, and with the yellowed vegetable leaves planted in the yard, it looks a little depressed.

Lan Yin walked into the house quickly and took a look, then came out and replied, "There is no one in the house. ”

Jiang Li let out an "oh", "Then wait." ”

In the evening, it was a little cold outside, so Jiang Li took Lan Yin into the house unceremoniously.

She could see at a glance that the bed was still covered with Qin Jue's original shabby bedding, and she didn't know where she threw it away last time.

Lan Yin couldn't help but glance at her, as if she was afraid that she would feel sad, so she comforted her a little awkwardly, "Perhaps...... Maybe His Royal Highness the Fifth is just afraid that your things will be dirty, princess, so put them away. ”

Jiang Li wasn't angry, he just smiled, "It's really awkward...... If I were him, I would never let myself suffer in order to maintain my useless self-esteem. ”

Even if she was Qin Jue, she would probably have found a way to attract Emperor Qing's attention, whether she was pretending to be pitiful or flattering, she would try to turn the situation around.

After a grandson, he found an opportunity to destroy the other party in one fell swoop, and didn't he get his self-esteem back?

asked her to say that Qin Jue would be so miserable, mainly because her personality was too awkward and she couldn't think about it.

While she was talking, Lan Yin was already rummaging in the cabinet on the side, and then suddenly turned around, "Look, princess, it was really put away by him!" ”

When she said this, Lan Yin was obviously a little happy, probably because she felt that her princess's kindness was not treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.

Jiang Li was also a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows, "Not bad, it's a bit of progress." ”

It seems that the little lesson he was given last time is still useful, and he has learned a little bit.

At the moment, I don't know how long it will take for Qin Jue to come back, Jiang Li is a little tired, so she simply asked Lan Yin to help her make the bed, and then lie down to rest.

When I came during the day before, I didn't think that at night, the cold palace really lived up to its name, and it was very cold.

Even if the quilt was covered, Jiang Li felt that his exposed face was cold.

Lan Yin went out to look for a round of charcoal fires, and finally found only a little pitiful inferior black charcoal, which would have been smoky if it burned in the house, and had to give up in the end.

Jiang Li lay in a daze for a while, and finally heard a little movement.

Lan Yin's voice came faintly in the courtyard, "Fifth Highness, you are finally back. ”

Jiang Li was a little greedy for this warmth in the bed, and he didn't get up, but continued to close his eyes and be confused on the bed, just waiting for Lan Yin to bring people in.

It took a while for the door to finally be pushed open.

There were no candles in the room, and she squinted her eyes only to see the silhouette of a faint man walking in.

He paused for a moment at the door, as if to look at her.

After a few moments, he walked to the table in the dark and lit the only wretched red candle.

The room was lit up by dim candlelight, and Qin Jue's usual cold and hard face seemed to be much softer against that background.

He walked towards her with a candlestick in both hands, Jiang Li couldn't help but squint his eyes again because of the firelight, his voice was a little hoarse, and he spoke with a lazy breath, "Why did you come back?" ”

As she spoke, she moved into the bed.

Her intention was to leave him a place to sit, but in this case, it was more like a wife waiting for her husband to come home and make room for him to sleep.

Qin Jue paused, looking at Jiang Li who was confused on the bed, probably because he had just woken up, he looked extremely soft and cute at this time, without the bravado and aggressiveness he usually has.

A thought popped into his mind...... If only she could be like this all the time.

When this thought came to him, Qin Jue was startled, and the corners of his subconsciously curved mouth were quickly pressed down by him.

Are you kidding...... This woman is a femme fatale, and this moment of well-being is just her disguise.

Because of a thought in his heart, Qin Jue's face was not very good-looking.

He didn't sit down on the edge of the bed, he just stood a meter away from the bed, holding the candlestick in one hand, and said in a cold voice, "Looking for me?" ”

The change in his expression was subtle, but Jiang Li still caught it.

I can't help but slander in my heart, this guy is really turning his face faster than turning a book.

She yawned, sat up wrapped in the quilt, and patted the bed next to her, "What are you doing so far away?" Come and sit. ”

Qin Jue obviously resisted, but after hesitating for a moment, he still put the candlestick next to him and sat at the end of the bed farthest away from her.

Jiang Li didn't care about this little rebellion, but just asked as if he was gossiping, "It's dark, why did you come back so late?" ”

Qin Jue didn't lie, "Go to the Huanyi Bureau to help people wash their clothes and change some winter clothes." ”

Jiang Li frowned, "You still go to wash clothes on such a cold day?" ”

[With such a beautiful hand, why don't you know how to cherish it? ] It's a terrible thing! 】

Qin Jue heard her heart, and subconsciously shrank his hand into his sleeve.

He hated her purposeful concern, not because he was afraid that he would suffer and suffer, but because he was worried that he would do what he did.

It's like...... In her mind, he was just a good-looking vase.

She only cared if he looked good enough, and never cared what he thought.

was about to divert the topic, but Jiang Li had already loosened the quilt wrapped around his body, and came over and took his hand without saying anything.

Qin Jue subconsciously wanted to pull it back, but she raised her head and glared at him fiercely, "Don't move!" ”

He froze slightly, and then saw her lower her head again, because she was close, and the messy hair on the top of her head was so close that people felt a little itchy inexplicably.

Qin Jue didn't dare to move anymore, so Jiang Li carefully looked at Qin Jue's hand by candlelight.

Probably just came back to wash his hands, his hands were exceptionally cold, and ...... He hadn't seen him for a few days, and he had some chilblains on his hands.

It seems that these days have not stopped, and most of them have been helping people wash clothes.

[Damn, just for a broken winter coat, I don't know if I don't know what to ask me? What a donkey temper! 】

This is the first time Qin Jue has heard Jiang Li's voice so angry, she seemed to be calm no matter what before, but she didn't expect to be so angry today...... It's just for his hands?

Qin Jue felt ridiculous, but when he thought that she was Jiang Li, it seemed to be reasonable again.

Jiang Li looked at his frozen place and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Her hands were very warm, and when she touched the frostbite, it was a little tingling, which made Qin Jue's heart seem to tremble.

He was inexplicably a little uncomfortable, turned his head slightly, and said dryly, "...... I'm fine. ”

Jiang Li suddenly raised his head and glared at him angrily, "Of course you're fine, I'm fine!" ”
