The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi

This was the first time that Shen Nanzhi, who had lived two lives, had been so close to someone.

At that moment, her brain seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, and her ears were buzzing.

At this time, she was still held in Xiao Chuyun's arms.

If it were someone else, she would have avoided him the moment they approached him.

But because he was Xiao Chuyun, perhaps because she trusted him and believed in his character, and the fact that they were already engaged, Shen Nanzhi subconsciously did not guard against him.

So, when his earlobe was bitten unexpectedly, Shen Nanzhi was completely stunned.

For a moment, she didn't even know how to react.

Xiao Chuyun's lips gently caressed her earlobe, and the warmth penetrated her thin skin and reached her heart.

At the same time, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, a feeling she had never experienced before.

Not only that, Shen Nanzhi felt her cheeks suddenly heat up, as if they were burned by a red-hot iron. Even the air around her seemed to solidify. Shen Nanzhi could only hear her own messy and somewhat out-of-control heartbeat.

The place on her earlobe that was touched by Xiao Chuyun seemed to be burning with flames, and the heat quickly spread to her cheeks, making her whole body feel like it was on fire, and her heart was hot and numb.

It was as if something had broken out of the ground in her heart and was growing wildly, gradually getting out of control.

Shen Nanzhi didn't have time to think about what was wrong with her. She hurriedly looked up at Xiao Chuyun.

When I raised my eyes, I met his deep brows and saw the cautiousness in his eyes.

The moment he met Shen Nanzhi's eyes, he lowered his eyebrows and looked at Shen Nanzhi.

The voice that was originally as clear as jade was now a little hoarse: "Ms. Shen said that I don't need to pretend and can face Miss Shen with my truest self. How about this? Is it okay?"

He was referring to intimate things like biting the earlobe and kissing the cheek.

What he didn't say was that this was his truest side when facing Shen Nanzhi, even worse.

Shen Nanzhi was the delusion in his heart, an existence that could easily make him lose control and sink without any provocation.

However, he also knew that the time was not right yet.

He couldn't act too hastily, or he would scare her.

So he could only proceed step by step and take it step by step.

He was born extremely handsome, and his handsome eyes seemed to only see Shen Nanzhi.

Just that affectionate and lingering look made Shen Nanzhi's heart skip a beat.

However, Shen Nanzhi still had a trace of rationality left.

She knew she should push him away, but her body did not move.

Shen Nanzhi was feeling annoyed that there would actually be a day when he would be bewitched by beauty. When he raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Chuyun's eyes darken.

He suddenly lowered his eyes, and said with an apologetic and uneasy tone: "I'm sorry, Miss Shen was just trying to comfort me, so she said a few polite words, but I took it seriously and overstepped my authority."

His words were sincere and not false at all. If you listened carefully, you could actually hear a hint of grievance in his tone.

Shen Nanzhi's heart, which had been struggling, suddenly softened.

Xiao Chuyun's expression made her doubt herself.

Yes, it was she who wanted Xiao Chuyun to not be so restrained and cautious in front of her, and she wanted to be more relaxed and comfortable with Xiao Chuyun.

Therefore, this kind of intimacy is perfectly normal between a man and a woman who are already engaged.

Why is she being so pretentious?

Especially when he met Xiao Chuyun's eyes that seemed a little hurt, Shen Nanzhi felt even more guilty.

She thought that he had injuries on his body, and after the wedding, he would not be able to have sex like a normal man. That was why he was so cautious when facing her, for fear of making her unhappy or disgusted.

Now that he had her consent, he finally mustered up the courage to be more intimate with her, but what he got in return was her surprise and even avoidance...

It would be better not to say those words in the first place, as this would only hurt people more.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi felt more and more that he was really going too far.

Seeing that Xiao Chuyun had let go of her and was about to get up, Shen Nanzhi's heart softened when she saw the loneliness in his brows, and she somehow reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, that's not the case. I'm telling the truth, not just to comfort you."

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Nanzhi. He opened his thin lips slightly and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Miss Shen, there is no need to comfort me. I know I'm fine, and I don't want to wrong Miss Shen."

Having said that, he was about to get up and leave.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi blamed himself.

She thought that he must have sensed the surprise she had just expressed, and now he didn't listen to anything she said.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi became more and more anxious.

Her hands moved faster than her brain. Before she could react, her hand had already grabbed Xiao Chuyun's sleeve and pulled Xiao Chuyun, who was about to leave the bed, towards her.

Xiao Chuyun probably didn't expect her to react like this. His originally tall and straight body was easily pulled in front of her.

In order to suppress his uneasiness and make him feel at ease, Shen Nanzhi looked at the handsome face in front of her and met his eyes full of surprise and fear of offending her. She raised her head and took the initiative to press her lips against his cheek, deciding to use practical actions to make him believe that what she said was true.

His skin was as delicate as porcelain, and the delicate and warm touch made Shen Nanzhi's heart beat faster.

Her face had already turned red as if it was dripping blood.

After just a moment, she let go immediately, and then looked into Xiao Chuyun's deep eyes gently but firmly: "Can the prince be trusted this time?"

After saying this, Shen Nanzhi's face had already blushed with embarrassment. She turned her head away somewhat awkwardly, not even daring to look into Xiao Chuyun's eyes.

She didn't look carefully, so naturally she didn't see the chaos in Xiao Chuyun's eyes at that moment.

Although it was just a dragonfly skimming the water, the soft touch was like a spring breeze blowing silently, yet easily stirring up the water in the pond.

Xiao Chuyun's Adam's apple rolled involuntarily. He suddenly leaned down, rested his forehead against Shen Nanzhi's neck, laughed softly twice, and then said in a hoarse voice: "I really... lost to you."

As he finished speaking, his hot breath sprayed on Shen Nanzhi's neck.

Shen Nanzhi's brain seemed to be on fire, and she was dizzy. She didn't even react to what Xiao Chuyun meant.

But at this moment, a maid's announcement was heard outside the courtyard: "Miss, Miss Ye is here."

Ye Qingwan is here?

Shen Nanzhi's confused mind suddenly became clear.

At the same time, Xiao Chuyun also stood up calmly.

He raised his hand and carefully tidied up Shen Nanzhi's messy clothes and long hair, and helped Shen Nanzhi sit down against the soft pillow so that she could talk to others later. After finishing all this, he whispered, "I'll go back first, you can rest and recover."

His eyes were clear and his expression was frank, as if the previous scene was just Shen Nanzhi's illusion.

Shen Nanzhi nodded.

She actually still had some questions about Xiao Ziyi that she hadn't had time to ask, but now was really not the time to speak.

"Take care, Your Majesty."

Xiao Chuyun nodded, turned and walked to the window. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned to look at Shen Nanzhi, and said with a little expectation and caution in his eyes: "Can I come directly to Miss Shen like this next time?"

Coming directly to her bedroom like this... is not appropriate after all.

But just as Shen Nanzhi showed some hesitation, Xiao Chuyun lowered his eyes and said with a bit of sadness in his tone: "I didn't think it through. This is indeed against the rules. I shouldn't embarrass Miss Shen."

Having said that, he turned and was about to leave.

At that moment, Shen Nanzhi could clearly see the disappointment in his eyes.

Shen Nanzhi's heart softened, and he said, "It's not difficult. As long as the prince is willing, just come."

As soon as the words came out, Shen Nanzhi realized what he had said and immediately felt a little regretful.

Even when cousin Chang'an came to her yard, his legs would be broken by his aunt, but she still let a man from outside come in.

What kind of words is she talking about!

But before Shen Nanzhi could regret it, he saw Xiao Chuyun smiling.

The corners of his lips raised slightly, outlining a shallow arc.

That smile was like a spring breeze, warm and unobtrusive, yet enough to freeze the air around it. His eyes seemed to have gathered all the stars, shining brightly.

All the beautiful flowers in the garden were overshadowed by his smile.

Even though they had been together for such a long time and had been amazed so many times, Shen Nanzhi was still a little dazed.

Xiao Chuyun already smiled and said, "Then I'll come back another day."

By the time Shen Nanzhi reacted, Xiao Chuyun had already left the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the empty window, thinking about what he said about coming back another day...

Shen Nanzhi's cheeks became even hotter when she reacted.

What on earth is wrong with her!

How could I be led by the nose and agree to something in a hot-headed manner?

She herself was not someone who was easily influenced by others' emotions, and Shen Nanzhi began to doubt her life.

But before she could examine herself carefully, the maid outside the yard asked again.

Shen Nanzhi quickly suppressed his chaotic emotions and asked someone to invite Ye Qingwan in.

After Xiao Chuyun left, Lu Pianpian, who had disappeared automatically before, appeared again from nowhere.

At this moment, she had a shiny braised pig's trotter in her hand. Before Ye Qingwan entered the room, Lu Pianpian had already squatted on the footstool beside Shen Nanzhi's bed, holding the braised pig's trotter, as if she was going to stay with Shen Nanzhi all the time.

Ye Qingwan hadn't entered the house yet when the voice came in.

"Zhizhi, how are you?"

"I rushed here as soon as I heard about your accident, but your housekeeper said you were still unconscious and no one could disturb you. I was so anxious these past two days! I came here several times in vain, and today I finally saw you!"

Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It’s not that the Shen family’s steward didn’t allow her to see him, it’s that Xiao Chuyun was guarding her, so even the Shen family members couldn’t see her.

To outsiders, the Shen family had no choice but to say this.

As he was speaking, Ye Qingwan, dressed in pearls, jade and emeralds, and wearing a Xiangyun gauze skirt, looking gorgeous and wealthy, walked into the room.

Since coming to Beijing, she has been suffering from rashes all over her body due to unfamiliar climate and water, and has been recuperating at home for a while. In the past few days, she has taken the prescription sent by Lu Pianpian, and although she has gradually gotten better, the rashes have just scabbed over and some have not completely fallen off, so she still wears a veil hat outside, covering her entire face and half of her body.

It's a pity that she has to run around just for Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi said with some shame: "There have been a lot of things going on at home recently, and my aunt and the others have been watching over me, so I haven't been able to take care of you. Thank you for your hard work!"

If someone informed the doorman, even if she couldn't see Shen Nanzhi at that time, the Shen family's steward would politely send her back and promise her that he would send someone to deliver a message to her after Shen Nanzhi woke up, so that she wouldn't have to run back and forth again.

Ye Qingwan smiled and walked to the bedside, waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's not far away anyway. As long as I see that you are okay, I will feel relieved."

As she spoke, she took off the veil on her head, revealing her face which was originally very beautiful, but now had many acne marks and scabs and looked a little scary.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would have wanted to cover it up and not want to see anyone, but Ye Qingwan didn't seem to care at all.

She threw the veil aside, took Shen Nanzhi's hand and said coquettishly: "Zhizhi, look at me, my face is almost disfigured! I really can't get married now!"

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but joked: "If you don't control your temper, it will be difficult for you to get married without disfigurement, right?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingwan pretended to be angry and raised her hand to scratch Shen Nanzhi.

But the next moment, he was blocked by a half-eaten braised pig's trotter.

Fortunately, Ye Qingwan reacted quickly and stopped in time, otherwise her hands would be covered with grease.

Before she turned to look at Lu Pianpian and started to complain, she heard Lu Pianpian solemnly remind her: "Sister Zhizhi is very weak now and can't be touched. Can you two save me some worry!"

Ye Qingwan's complaint was stuck in her throat.

Realizing her own recklessness, Ye Qingwan waved her hands repeatedly: "I didn't mean to do that. Sorry, sorry! I won't dare to move again... Hey, what is this?"

Ye Qingwan's eyes inadvertently swept to an oil-paper bag beside Shen Nanzhi's pillow.

After she reminded them of this, Shen Nanzhi and Lu Pianpian also noticed it.

Before Shen Nanzhi opened her mouth, Lu Pianpian had already taken a deep breath. Smelling the fragrance emanating from it, Lu Pianpian's eyes lit up and she said, "It's the peach cake from Babaozhai!"

Shen Nanzhi raised her hand and took it up. It was indeed the peach cake from Chengnan Babaozhai.

There is also the seal of Babaozhai on the oil paper package.

This peach pastry is Shen Nanzhi's favorite flavor.

I think this should have been left behind by Xiao Chuyun before he left.

Shen Nanzhi didn't notice just now that the oil paper bag was warm to the touch. Shen Nanzhi's heart seemed to be filled with this heat and suddenly became hot.

Moreover, the warmth spread all the way from the heart to the face.

Ye Qingwan, who was standing by, hadn't noticed Shen Nanzhi's expression change. She listened to what Lu Pianpian had just said and asked curiously, "Pianpian just said that we are bothering her. Besides me, is there anyone else here?"

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "The one I was about to introduce to you is Sister Jingya from Liu Jijiu's family."

Hearing this, Ye Qingwan's eyes fell on the oil paper bag held by Shen Nanzhi, and she said with emotion: "She is so good to you. I heard that the cakes from Babaozhai are hard to buy. I guess she sent people to queue up to buy them early in the morning. She is really thoughtful."

Shen Nanzhi was about to say that she had misunderstood, but since Xiao Chuyun had come, she couldn't explain it, so she just nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Jingya is a very nice person."

I thought the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Nanzhi finished speaking, he heard Liu Jingya's voice outside the yard.

She was supported by the maid and hopped into the house on one leg. When she looked up, she saw the oil paper bag that Shen Nanzhi had not yet put away. She immediately asked curiously, "Sister Zhizhi, when did you buy this cake from Babaozhai? I asked my cousin Changan to queue up early in the morning, but he didn't buy any!"

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

When Shen Nanzhi turned around and saw Ye Qingwan's intriguing expression, his scalp tingled.

It can be seen that people cannot lie easily.
