Reborn Princess

At the Ye Mansion, Ye Qinghe continued to avoid Ye Ji'an since he returned home. Ye Ji'an was busy with official duties and did not visit Ye Qinghe.

Even Madam Wu in the Ye Mansion noticed that something was wrong with the two, so she immediately prepared a family dinner and finally got the brother and sister to eat together at the same table.

Ye Qinghe sat next to Madam Wu with her head down, picking up the dishes in front of her. Seeing Ye Jinan sitting opposite her, she didn't even pick up the two dishes in front of him.

It was a meal that was eaten in extreme silence.

"Qinghe has not been out of the yard recently." Mrs. Wu broke the quiet atmosphere.

When Ye Qinghe's name was called, she pursed her lips guiltily. In fact, Ye Jian'an did not mention her Lantern Festival and Xue Jingxuan's lantern viewing event to Madam Wu.

But at this moment, she was extremely afraid that Ye Jian'an would say it out loud.

"Maybe it's because it has been raining these days, so my sister doesn't like to go out." Ye Jianan said.

Ye Qinghe was a little surprised. She secretly raised her head and glanced at Ye Jian'an, but he didn't look at her.

I don't know why, but I feel inexplicably lost.

Marquis Yongyi said, "It has indeed been raining a lot these days. The rain in winter makes people feel cold. Qinghe is warmer in his own yard."

Mrs. Wu nodded and looked at Ye Qinghe. Seeing that Ye Qinghe was picking up the two dishes in front of her and not eating anything else, she used the serving chopsticks to pick up some dishes and put them on her plate.

"If the weather clears up in a couple of days, go to the stables with your brother and ask him to take you for a ride. Don't stay stuck in the house all day."

Ye Qinghe paused while eating and said, "No."

"You used to love going out, what happened to you now?"

The dining room fell into silence.

Ye Jianan glanced at her helplessly and said, "If you have nothing to do the day after tomorrow, I'll take my sister with me."

Mrs. Wu didn't care whether Ye Qinghe agreed or not. She nodded to show her satisfaction.

Ye Qinghe looked up and glared at Ye Jian'an, but Ye Jian'an pretended not to see it. He picked up the serving chopsticks and put her favorite roasted lamb into Ye Qinghe's bowl.

Mrs. Wu glanced at Ye Qinghe when she saw this. Ye Qinghe didn't want to eat the mutton at first, but he had no choice but to pick up the mutton and eat it because his mother was staring at him.

The meal was boring. After everyone left, Ye Qinghe walked towards his own yard and Ye Jian followed him.

"Qinghe, I apologize to you for what happened during the Lantern Festival."

Ye Qinghe didn't look at him and continued walking forward. She was stopped by Ye Jian and said, "Xue Jingxuan is indeed not a good match. Did you know that he already has a concubine in his courtyard?"

Ye Qinghe stopped and looked at Ye Jian, "He can accompany me, but my brother can't."

Ye Jianan said: "There are better young men in the capital. Dad and Mom will definitely find one for you. It doesn't have to be Xue Jingxuan."

Ye Qinghe stared at Ye Jianan and asked, "Brother, don't you have someone you like?"

Ye Jian was stunned for a moment and then said, "No."

Ye Qinghe was not annoyed when she heard Ye Jian'an's words. Her brother would eventually get married and have his own life.

"Brother will also have someone he likes in the future, just like me. It is my own business whoever I like." After saying that, Ye Qinghe left without looking back.

Ye Jian'an looked at Ye Qinghe's back for a long time without coming back to his senses.

……

Shen Xilan was not surprised to learn that the emperor had granted marriages to Zhao Ruyun and Shen Luoning at the same time, but she felt a little guilty, as granting marriages on the same day really wronged Zhao Ruyun.

A month later, both of them will marry Zhou Jingmo at the same time, and then there will be another big drama.

While Zhou Cechen was flipping through the files, he looked up and saw Shen Xilan, who was sitting next to him, frowning as he held a pen and traced his handwriting.

She didn't even notice the ink drop from the tip of the goat's hair brush falling on the rice paper until she placed the brush directly on the paper and left it there for a long time, leaving a pool of ink.

"Fufu."

After hearing Zhou Cechen's words, Shen Lilan came back to his senses and looked at him. Following Zhou Cechen's gaze, Shen Lilan looked at his rice paper again.

It’s over.

After picking up her piece of paper, she saw that the "Red Cliff Fu" written by Zhou Cechen at the bottom of the paper was blurred by ink, covering several lines of words.

This time it's over.

Shen Lilan blinked and looked at Zhou Cechen, her face full of apology.

Zhou Cechen ignored those words and said, "Nothing."

Shen Yanlan put down the rice paper and heard Zhou Cechen ask, "Are you tired?"

Shen Lilan was not tired, but she was thinking about something and didn't want to practice anymore, so she nodded and said "tired."

"come over."

Shen Xilan walked to Zhou Cechen's side, and Zhou Cechen took her hand and pressed her wrist.

"Don't be too impatient when practicing calligraphy."

Seeing that Shen Lilan was silent, he pushed aside the pile of files in front of him. He picked up Shen Lilan and placed him on the table.

"Are you worried about something?" he asked her.

Shen Lilan discovered that Zhou Cechen liked to let her sit on the table, and he would prop himself up and talk to her.

"I was not thoughtful enough in my actions this time, and I wronged Miss Zhao and Shen Luoning for getting married on the same day."

Zhou Cechen stared at her and said, "No wonder you are the one. Everything has its regrets. Nothing is perfect."

Shen Lilan: "The prince can take care of everything."

Zhou Cechen shook his head, "Fu Fu, I am also a human being."

Seeing that Shen Xilan was still frowning, Zhou Cechen reached out to touch her brow but she dodged.

His hand was still suspended in mid-air, and Zhou Cechen narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't expect Shen Yanlan to dodge.

Shen Lilan looked at him innocently. "Your Highness has been staying in the study these past two days. Is it because you have too much official business?"

Zhou Cechen felt a little helpless for a moment. He had been very busy with official duties recently. Whenever he dealt with them until late at night and went to the bedroom, Shen Lilan had already fallen asleep. Shen Lilan was a light sleeper, and he would wake her up as soon as he got on the bed.

Moreover, they had not slept in the same room since the last time. He held her in his arms while sleeping at night, which eventually made him very agitated. She was obviously sleeping soundly and he did not have the heart to wake her up, so he had to take a cold shower alone.

So he simply stayed in the study for the past two days, but he didn't expect that this would cause Shen Xilan to think too much.

"What do you think, Princess?" Zhou Cechen's Adam's apple rolled.

Shen Xilan had no idea that Zhou Cechen was so impatient, she just thought he had too much official business.

Seeing that Shen Lilan was still confused, Zhou Cechen pulled her hand and touched a certain place, which was so hot that Shen Lilan wanted to pull her hand back immediately.

But Zhou Cechen was not willing to do that. Now that she had mentioned it, he could no longer control himself.

"Fu Fu, do you know how uncomfortable I have been these past few nights?" Zhou Cechen stared at Shen Lilan until his face turned red.

Zhou Cechen took Shen Lilan's soft hand and probed inside.

"No." Shen Yanlan curled his fingers and whispered.

Zhou Cechen had no choice but to stop.

"We are husband and wife." Shen Lilan looked at Zhou Cechen and said, "Okay..."

"What can I do?" Zhou Cechen stared at her.

"Do what a married couple should do."

Zhou Cechen understood what Shen Lilan meant. He curled his lips and smiled, "Does Fu Fu want it?"

Shen Lilan's face turned red all the way to her neck, and she didn't dare to look at Zhou Cechen.

Zhou Cechen lifted her chin with his hand and forced her to look at him. "A few days ago, I praised our Fu Fu for being very courageous."

Shen Lilan lowered his eyes.

Holding Shen Lilan's waist, Zhou Cechen's slightly firm hand reached inside without blocking her clothes.
