Drunk Bamboo

Hua Qinfeng had a dreamless night.

After spending a long time on the battlefield, not only will you develop a fixed sleep and wake-up time, but you will also not be able to easily fall into deep sleep. Even when you are asleep, your nerves are tense and you cannot completely relax and fall asleep. On the battlefield, if an enemy attacks, you will really fall into a deep sleep.

I woke up today feeling particularly refreshed. I slept very well last night.

There was no sign of another person sleeping on the bed. Hua Qinfeng looked around the room for Xie Yuzhu. He put on his shoes and walked around before he saw her sleeping on the desk behind the screen, wearing a piece of clothing that was neither thick nor thin.

The candle on the table was still burning, and there was a brush across his fingers, apparently he had fallen asleep while writing.

He wanted to wake up Xie Yuzhu and let her go to bed, but he saw the pretty girl curled up in her clothes and sleeping soundly. He couldn't bear it and gently picked her up.

Xie Yuzhu was lighter than he had imagined. Holding her in his arms felt like holding a ball of cotton, soft and warm.

"Prince?" Xie Yuzhu had just fallen asleep when she felt her body become lighter in her sleep. She opened her eyes a little and called out.

Her voice was very soft, and Hua Qinfeng couldn't help but lower his voice: "Did I wake you up? Why don't you go to bed?"

"I want to, too, but once the prince lies on the bed, there's no place for me." She closed her eyes with relief, her voice soft and tingling.

It was the first time that Hua Qinfeng heard such a soft voice from a woman, and ripples began to form in his heart.

He didn't know what this felt like, having never experienced it before.

"Sorry, you can wake me up later."

"A-choo!" Xie Yuzhu leaned towards him to absorb the warmth.

"Even if you don't go to bed, why don't you put on a thick cloak? Where is the white fox cloak that your mother gave you?" Hua Qinfeng took a step forward and carried her to bed.

“…I couldn’t bear to use it.” He answered in a daze.

"Didn't I tell you that it doesn't matter if it gets worn out?" He then pulled the other quilt over and covered her with it. "Are you warm now?"

"Hmm..." She responded with her eyes closed. The quilt that Hua Qinfeng had slept in was still warm, and Xie Yuzhu felt warm all over as soon as she lay in it.

"Sleep a little longer, I won't let anyone disturb you."

"Um……"

Xie Yuzhu fell asleep quickly, with steady and regular breathing.

Hua Qinfeng took his clothes, tiptoed to the ear room to change them, and then went out.

"Your Highness, how did you sleep last night?" Chaoyang's face was full of anticipation, and his brows were rarely relaxed.

"The bed is too small." Hua Qinfeng frowned, thought about it, and said seriously.

"The bed is too small?" Chaoyang was surprised.

I immediately imagined some scenes. Was the prince and princess so intense last night? The princess is petite, will she be unable to bear it?

"Let's ask a carpenter to come to the house and change the bed today." Hua Qinfeng thought that this bed was more than enough for two ordinary people to sleep on, but he was taller than the average man and liked to lie flat when he slept. Now with Xie Yuzhu, the bed was indeed a little small.

If he couldn't change it tonight, and couldn't let Xie Yuzhu sleep on the desk again, he would have to sleep on the floor.

"Go as soon as the carpenter's shop opens." He didn't want to sleep on the floor, so he reminded Chaoyang, "Don't let anyone disturb Xie Yuzhu's sleep. She didn't sleep well last night. Ask Baiguo to make some ginger tea for her to drink when she wakes up."

"Okay!" Chaoyang's eyes were filled with joy. The prince was caring and doing things in a meticulous manner. He wanted to tell the nanny about this good news. The nanny would definitely be happy.

After training and breakfast, Chaoyang happily went out to buy a big bed for Hua Qinfeng.

Hua Qinfeng followed closely and left the house. He went to the palace to find the queen.

The bed that Chaoyang customized was a king-sized one, which would take ten days to make, so the prince had to squeeze into a small bed these days.

After returning to the mansion, the prince was nowhere to be seen. Just when she wanted to find Lao Liu to ask him, before she reached the gate, she saw the prince coming back happily, followed by a maid from the palace. In less than a quarter of an hour, he brought everyone in the mansion back to the palace.

Chaoyang's rare good mood disappeared in an instant.

It was already noon when Xie Yuzhu woke up. It felt good to wake up naturally. In the past, at Xie's house, there were rules for when to turn off the lights and when to get up, unless she was sick and had to lie in bed.

"Yunling." She called out habitually.

"Princess, you're awake. Have a bowl of ginger tea first. The prince asked me to make it specifically and told you to drink it when you wake up." It was Baiguo who responded.

"Where's Yunling?"

"Yunling... has returned to the palace. I will be serving the princess these days. If the princess has anything, please let me know at any time." Bai Guo paused and smiled again.

Is Hua Qinfeng so fast?

"Where is the prince? I want to find the prince." Xie Yuzhu stood up immediately. Yunling was considerate and steady, and worked very hard. She even forgot that she was also a member of the palace. I don't know if she can keep her.

"The prince should be in...Bai Lianxuan now." Bai Guo thought she was angry and didn't dare to say anything.

Xie Yuzhu: "Help me comb my hair into a simple bun."

After getting dressed, Xie Yuzhu took Bai Guo into Bailianxuan. Before entering the hall, she heard a sound coming from inside the house.

Nanny Bai said earnestly, "My Lord, I know you don't like these people in the palace, but you rushed into the palace to find the queen only three days after your wedding and sent the palace maids back. This is too hasty."

Chaoyang continued, "Didn't I tell the prince not to act rashly yesterday? Lao Liu is already investigating their background. We will find a way to slowly send out those who are harmful to the palace. The queen is the mother of the country, and she is from one of the four famous Wang families. She is upright and generous. The prince is grateful for her upbringing, but she is also the prince's biological mother. Has the prince forgotten that she also sent people to monitor the prince three years ago? How can the prince find her?"

Hua Qinfeng sat quietly on the wooden chair, and no matter what the people in the hall said, he did not move. He had already prepared himself mentally.

Nanny Bai didn't smile anymore, she sighed, "Your Highness can ignore these things, but has your Highness ever thought about the Princess? Husband and wife should discuss everything. Did she know that you took her maid Yunling away?"

Yunling? Hua Qinfeng remembered that she was Xie Yuzhu's personal maid, and his expression was stunned for a moment. Didn't she even bring a maid?

Nanny Bai: "The Xie family could have adopted a girl from the side branch to marry the prince, but the princess still voluntarily married here. She has no relatives here. The prince is her husband and her only relative in Zhongdu. Whatever the prince does, he should consider her feelings first. Bai Guo said that the princess was busy in the yard all day yesterday, and she didn't use anyone from the mansion, and only let Yunling follow her. It can be seen that Yunling is special to her. Since the other garden, the princess has been helping the prince. She didn't complain, cry, or ask for anything. It can be seen that the princess is a well-behaved and sensible girl, and she is also a person who doesn't cause trouble, and is willing to tolerate the prince's willfulness. Prince, the princess has just reached the age of marriage, and is the youngest in the mansion. We should take care of her and treat her well."

Hua Qinfeng finally moved his mouth: "Mammy, I didn't treat her badly. I treat Xie Yuzhu as my own. I discussed it with her last night, and she told me to do whatever I want. Didn't Mammy say that as long as she agrees, I can do anything."

Nanny Bai: "The princess has just arrived in Zhongdu and is not familiar with the situation in the palace. The princess trusts the prince, and the prince should be more considerate of the princess."
