The two were silent for a long time.

After careful consideration, she asked cautiously, "Yan Qing...are you still angry?"

After she finished asking, she didn't hear his voice for a long time, so she continued to mutter, "After leaving the palace... I rushed back immediately."

Hearing her soft voice, I couldn't bear to blame her anymore.

"How have you been lately?"

In one month, he only met her a few times in a hurry, and he didn't know whether Jiang Zhuo and that man did anything to her!

She shook her head slightly in his arms. It was good, but also not good. She had to stay in the palace for a few days to achieve her goal.

His heart trembled, he loosened his grip slightly and looked into her eyes, "Did they bully you?!"

"No, it's just..." She paused, looking at his ink-black pupils, which were flickering with some worry.

"Yanqing, I miss you."

He was stunned. These few short words touched his heart, dissipating the little anger left in his heart and melting the ice in his eyes.

He held her cheek with his right hand and kissed it gently, as softly as running water. He kissed her lips again and again reluctantly, savoring the sweetness that belonged only to her.

He didn't dare to kiss too deeply, for fear that he would lose control and want to continue. The sound of their heartbeats and breathing echoed in his ears. He was reluctant to stop.

miss.

The longing for her lingered in his heart during this month. He always wanted to ask about her and her situation, but he was worried about hearing about her situation. He could only confirm over and over again that she was safe.

"Yuer, when will you trust me a little more, believe that I will protect you, believe that I will..." He didn't continue with the rest of the sentence.

He held her tightly in his arms, as if confirming again and again that his protection of her was from the heart.

She was held and embraced by him, pressed against his chest, feeling his muscles that had been flexed over the years, and the heat from his hot skin that was transmitted to her.

Her heartbeat became more and more irregular, and she felt soft-hearted, but she didn't dare.

Yan Qing, if one day you get to know the real me, will you still protect me like this?

She couldn't be sure, and she couldn't lose the warmth she had now, so she had to continue. It was not enough, she didn't have his love yet, the love she wanted.

After a while, she fell asleep in his arms.

Her warm breath sprayed on his chest, and he stroked her back again and again with his palms, hugging her curled up body.

She has always been like this. Even though he was mean to her and bullied her, she still fell asleep peacefully in his arms.

He really couldn't understand why she clearly didn't trust him, yet could stay by his side without any guard.

He placed a kiss on her forehead and wanted to fall asleep like that, but thinking that he still had things to deal with, he reluctantly got up after careful consideration.

He covered her with the quilt, walked away slowly with light steps.

Seeing him come out, Xiao Wenshu hurried forward.

"elder brother!"

"Keep your voice down!" he stopped her subconsciously.

Xiao Wenshu was stunned and quickly lowered his voice, "Brother, Qingyu..."

"Why haven't you gone to bed yet? Haven't you been practicing enough recently?" He interrupted Xiao Wenshu's hesitant question.

Wen Shu must have been waiting outside for more than an hour. Was she so afraid that he would hurt her?

"I...Brother! Tell me now..."

"She fell asleep." He responded lightly, as if it was just an extremely simple question.

"Ah? Fell asleep? In..." Xiao Wenshu subconsciously wanted to look inside.

Just a few words shocked him so much that he couldn't react for a long time.

Fell asleep?! Weren’t they arguing? Isn’t Qingyu afraid of my brother? How dare he sleep?! What… is going on?!

Xiao Wenshu suddenly thought that this was his brother's bedroom. His brother never liked others to enter or sleep in his brother's bed.

"What? Do you think I will do anything to her?" He interrupted Xiao Wenshu's wandering thoughts.

"not me…"

"Go back, she's fine now. If you want to know, ask her tomorrow."

Before Xiao Wenshu could sort out his thoughts, Xiao Yanqing had already started to drive him away.

"Qianyun, ask Hua Niang to keep an eye on Jiang Zhuo's people. Jiang Zhuo will definitely find a chance to meet her. If there is any situation, ask Hua Niang to report it immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness." After he finished his instructions, he turned around and went back to the house.

Xiao Wenshu wanted to step forward and ask, but Qianyun quickly reached out to stop him.

Xiao Wenshu could only anxiously look inside when the door opened. There was a dim light on inside, and it was very quiet, as if nothing had happened.

"Don't worry, Prince. I believe that His Highness will not harm the princess." Qian Yun spoke to comfort him.

Xiao Wenshu still wandered outside for a long time until there was no sound from inside. After careful consideration, he repeatedly told Qianyun to come to him immediately if anything happened.

He didn't leave until Qianyun agreed.

……

Xiao Yanqing never let her go that night, and she habitually snuggled into his arms, even tearing off his clothes and hugging him tightly, spending a warm and beautiful night like this.

He never liked to waste time sleeping, but since she came into being, he actually began to miss her.

He sent away Wen Shu, who had been waiting at the door, while she was still sleeping soundly in bed.

"Yuer, it's time for lunch." He ruffled her hair and spoke in a low voice as if he was afraid of scaring her.

In fact, it was already past mealtime. I always got up at mealtime before, so what happened today?

"Hmm..." She rolled into the quilt in resistance.

"Yuer, can you eat lunch before going to bed?"

She shook her head in the quilt and resisted again.

She is not usually so lazy in bed. Could it be that she hasn't slept well recently?

Helplessly, he reached out and took her out of the bed. Her limp body leaned against his arms, resisting the light outside.

He reached out and hugged her, "Yu'er, I made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs today, don't you want to eat it?"

The girl in my arms finally responded, mumbling, "I want to eat... I really want to eat..."

"Then get up nicely, okay?"

"I'm so sleepy... I haven't slept well these days..." Her voice was soft but slightly hoarse when she woke up.

She liked this palace, liked this bed, and liked being held in his arms.

It turned out that those warm nights were not dreams. He always held her in his arms until she fell asleep. She liked it, she really liked it.

She suddenly put her arms around his waist and buried her face in his arms.

Noticing her hug, he tightened his arms.

Listening to her words, he fell into deep thought.

Is it because you are in an uneasy environment?

She stayed with him in bed for a while before getting up to eat and take a shower.

After doing these things in a daze, my brain gradually became clear.

The maid was combing her hair, recalling every detail of what happened yesterday, how he kissed her many times, how he worried about her, how he cared about her, how he held her to sleep, and how he called her in the early morning.

The warmth from last night seemed to still remain on her lips. She reached out and covered her lips. The slight pain conveyed his strong invasion last night.

Their hearts are slowly getting closer to each other.
