Xiao Chengji had gone out to drink and have fun, so Yan Yu certainly couldn't stay at home crying alone. It wouldn't be good to cry until her eyes went blind, so she should just continue doing what she was supposed to do.

When she saw Xiao Chengji coming back, she lay back on the bed, covered her face with the open book, and pretended to be asleep.

After Xiao Chengji washed himself and changed his clothes, he pushed Yan Yu's shoulder and said, "Let me sleep inside."

Yan Yu remained motionless and completely ignored him.

Xiao Chengji said: "It's okay to sleep outside, just lean inside."

Yan Yu still didn't speak.

Xiao Chengji took away the book covering her face and flicked her eyelashes: "Are you asleep?"

Yan Yu's eyelashes were particularly long, and the lines of his eyebrows and eyes were particularly elegant. Xiao Chengji looked at her for a few more times and said in a low voice: "Are you really going to ignore me?"

She didn't say anything, so Xiao Chengji went to unbutton her shirt. Sure enough, Yan Yu raised her hands to cover her chest.

Xiao Chengji chuckled, held Yan Yu's hand, bent down and kissed her.

Yan Yu was caught off guard and was kissed several times, including on her hands and face. She was a little dazed, and it took her a while before she remembered that she should continue to be angry.

Xiao Chengji pushed her inside and fell asleep while holding her in his arms.

Yan Yu gathered his anger and gently kicked his calf: "Don't hug me."

Xiao Chengji's voice was low and hoarse: "Are you still angry?"

"How dare I be angry with you." Yan Yu turned over with his back to him, "You are the prince, the emperor's biological son. I have a pitiful life and no one to rely on. I don't have any reliable relatives at home. Even if I have a hundred lives, I would never dare to offend you."

Seeing that she was being sarcastic again, Xiao Chengji twisted her shoulders and pinched her face: "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. From now on, you can talk to whoever you want."

Yan Yu said: "How dare I say that? If I say anything more, the prince might accuse me of something. I was originally a woman whose engagement was broken off and whose reputation has been damaged. I am not worthy of a man like the prince who has nothing wrong with him. If the prince still thinks that I am fickle, then I might as well die."

"Nonsense." Xiao Chengji saw that she was still speaking in a weird way and continued to pinch her face, "Don't say such nonsense in the future. This time I was wrong, don't be angry."

Yan Yu raised his eyes: "How is your highness wrong? What did your highness do wrong?"

"..."

Xiao Chengji really couldn't figure out what he had done wrong. Was it wrong for him to not allow his princess to talk to a wild man outside?

He was right from the beginning to the end, okay?

Speaking of which, Xiao Chengji was really furious.

He said that he was happy for Yan Yu to talk to others. However, Xiao Chengji wanted to see who dared to come up and talk to Yan Yu in the future. He would skin and rip those people apart.

Yan Yu was so angry that she fell ill in the middle of the night, and they had to call the imperial physician over to say a few nice words to make her happy without killing her. Xiao Chengji said casually: "Everything is wrong. Nothing is right."

Seeing that he was truly repentant, Yan Yu hugged his waist and buried his face in his arms.

Xiao Chengji stroked Yan Yu's long hair and asked, "What did you eat tonight?"

She didn't eat anything. It was so hot and she had no appetite.

Yan Yu said: "You are going to make me so angry that I don't want to eat anything."

Xiao Chengji raised his eyebrows: "Really? It's all my fault. I beg you to eat something."

He asked the kitchen to send over a bowl of Tremella and lotus seed soup and two or three kinds of pastries. He watched Yan Yu eat a little before having them taken away.

Yan Yu always felt uncomfortable and sticky all over, so he washed himself, changed his clothes and lay back on the bed.

After eating, Yan Yu forgot about the unhappiness of the day, and continued to ask Xiao Chengji questions in his arms, asking him who he met outside and what he did.

Xiao Chengji knew clearly that she had never traveled far and as a girl she had never interacted with too many people. If he told her about some things in the officialdom, she would probably find it boring.

He picked up some that sounded interesting and told Yan Yu: "I met some Westerners and Kunlun slaves at the port. Most of these things I brought here were exchanged from them. Have you seen them before?"

Yan Yu shook his head: "I have never been out of the house and have never seen anything."

"Lingcheng is close to the sea, with such a large port, has your family never had a Western woman? Bo Feng took a Western woman as a concubine."

Yan Yu shook his head again: "The Shao family doesn't associate with weird people. However, they do have a lot of Western stuff at home. I've seen a copper-gilded telescope that can see very far away."

"Those Westerners have golden hair and blue eyes, while the Kunlun slaves are all coal-black..."

Yan Yu couldn't help but let his imagination run wild as he listened to him.

But no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out whether this appearance was beautiful or ugly, decent or vulgar.

There are also people who are as black as coal. No matter how black a person is, he shouldn’t be this black. It’s strange to think about it.

Yan Yu said: "People who are so dark may have been burned by fire when they were young. Normal people can't be so dark."

Xiao Chengji laughed softly and said, "No, they are born with this. Do you want to see it? If you want to see it, I will have someone bring a few to the palace for you to see."

Yan Yu shook his head again: "I specially invited people to my house just to see what they look like. It's like looking at monkeys. It always feels weird."

Xiao Chengji scratched her nose and said, "Then I'll take you out for a walk some other day. There are several shops in the capital run by people from the vassal states. The things inside are all very interesting."

Yan Yu's eyes lit up: "Is it okay?"

"It's okay, you can move around freely, I will accompany you." Xiao Chengji said, "Look, I am not a stingy person, I don't intend to lock you up at home and not see anyone, if you want to talk to others, just say it, there is only one thing, you are not allowed to talk to Xiao Jiashan, he is not a good person."

Yan Yu felt somewhat happy, so he hugged him and gave him a kiss.

Xiao Chengji smiled and raised his hand to rub her hair.

Yan Yu talked to him for a while, but still felt very hot. He took a fan and fanned himself twice, but all that came out was hot air. It was the same as having no basins of ice in the room.

It was a hot summer this year, and there was not as much rain as in previous years. Xiao Chengji knew clearly that drought might occur again in several neighboring provinces, and rebellion would easily break out in the event of a disaster. In the north, the Cang State was eyeing them covetously... The territory of the Wei Dynasty was so vast that from winter to summer, there were always some places where unexpected things happened.

He did not let the maid come in to fan her. The light green silk embroidered small fan in Yan Yu's hand could not do much. Xiao Chengji took the silk fan from her hand and replaced it with a purple bamboo fan for her.

This time the wind was finally cool, and Yan Yu fell asleep soon.

After she fell asleep, Xiao Chengji got up and went to the study to look at some official documents delivered today.
