The candlelight was flickering, and the shower had just stopped. Tao Ti lay weakly in his arms, feeling her body being hollowed out.
Rao Pei Yan knew her taste by eating her marrow, seeing her pitiful appearance, she couldn't bear to do it again.
He sat up, Tao Ti thought he was coming again, her thick eyelashes trembled.
Pei Yan looked at her forehead hair that was wet with sweat, strands were sticking to her forehead, and her slender fingers brushed it away for her. Pulling back the quilt to cover her again, she said in a gentle voice, "I'll have someone prepare some hot water, you go to bed first."
Tao Ti was still a little embarrassed to look at him, covered half of her face with the quilt, and gave a soft "hmm".
Pei Yan leaned over and kissed her forehead, put on his coat, and went out to call for someone.
Tao Ti was really tired, and it was very late at the moment, she closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
When she woke up again, she was soaking in the warm tub, filled with white mist, and her body was limp, as if it was about to melt away.
If Pei Yan hadn't been behind her and fixed her with his firm arms, she might have slipped into the water.
Drowsy, as if she had been exercising for a while, she was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, she leaned against Pei Yan's arms and let him torment her.
This sleep was drowsy and long, and I had a dream.
In her dreams, there were also some charming and beautiful scenes, repeated over and over again, one way or another, she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.
When she woke up the next day, Tao Ti lay in bed for a while.
When she was about to sit up, the soreness in her body reminded her that last night was true.
She really ate up Pei Yan... Oh no, it should be that there was nothing left of her being eaten.
Only now did she realize that she really had a big misunderstanding of Pei Yan, not only in terms of character, but also in terms of body.
She seriously suspected that he even pretended to be sick!
Just when she was about to get up, the felt curtain suddenly opened, and Pei Yan, who was dressed in a black robe, walked in.
Compared to her exhaustion, Pei Yan was refreshed and satisfied.
When Tao Ti saw it, she immediately pulled off the quilt and lay down again with her head covered. Although she had seen everything she should and shouldn't have seen last night, she felt inexplicably shy when they met again in broad daylight.
Seeing her childish movements, Pei Yan's lips curved slightly.
He walked over slowly and sat down, patted the bulging hillock lightly, "Are you still awake?"
Tao Ti muttered softly, "Wake up."
Pei Yan pulled off the quilt, looked at her peach-like delicate cheeks, recalled her sweet taste last night, her eyes darkened.
He had known for a long time that once he tasted this taste, it would be difficult to restrain himself.
"It rained heavily last night. Qin Tianjian said that there will be rain later, and the emperor ordered the camp to return to the palace. The chariots and horses are all ready, and we have to set off in half an hour." Pei Yan rubbed her "Hey, it's time to wake up."
"Going back so soon?" Tao Ti was startled.
Pei Yan responded, and from the corner of his eyes, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scarlet mark on her collarbone, and his throat tightened inexplicably.
Tao Ti also noticed his scorching gaze, her face blushed, she quickly pulled off her pajamas, and urged in a low voice, "Your Highness, you go out first, let Linglong come in and serve me."
Pei Yan knew that if he stayed any longer, he would definitely not be able to leave within half an hour.
He got up, said "I'll wait for you outside", and strode out.
After a while, Linglong walked in, and when she saw Tao Ti, she was all smiles, as happy as if she was marrying her daughter.
"Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess." She greeted Ann happily, and hurriedly stepped forward to wait for Tao Ti to get up and wash up.
When she saw those ambiguous traces on Tao Ti's body, Linglong also blushed, thinking that His Highness is really true, she didn't know how to feel pity.
After washing up, Qinghe and Xu Wenchan came to find them. They took a car when they came, and they wanted to take a car when they went back.
I never imagined that Pei Yan blocked her back without even seeing Tao Tiren, "She is still feeling unwell, so I will take her back in a carriage alone."
Xu Wenchan had a strange expression on his face, "You still feel unwell? You looked fine yesterday."
Aside from her swollen eyes, Artie can eat, drink and play cards, and she and Qinghe won a lot of money yesterday.
Qing He firmly believed in Pei Yan's words, only when Tao Ti's wind and cold got worse, she said worriedly, "Brother Prince, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to show my cousin?"
Pei Yan said, "No need."
Just when Linglong came out, Pei Yan turned around and went back to the tent first, Xu Wenchan pulled Linglong to find out what was going on.
Linglong couldn't hide the smile between her brows and eyes, and muttered something vaguely to Xu Wenchan.
Although Xu Wenchan is not married, his theoretical knowledge of Fengyue is also extremely deep. She quickly understood and couldn't help clicking her tongue, "I can't tell."
The prince looked at the graceful and fairy-like figure, how could he make Arti unable to get out of bed? Tut tut.
Qing He was in a fog when he heard it, his cool eyes were full of curiosity, "Can't you see anything?"
Xu Wenchan looked at Qinghe's innocent face, coughed lightly, and said solemnly, "You are still young, you will know when you grow up."
Qinghe, "..."
She is too old, not too young!
...
It was still raining outside, pattering, but it was very warm inside the tent.
Tao Ti was wearing a smoky pink shirt and a lotus-colored brocade dress. She was wearing a short bun, fastened with two light pink silk flowers.
She was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, wondering how to cover up these hickeys.
Pei Yan walked slowly behind her, lowered his eyes, and saw a little red plum-like hickey on her slender, white neck. He was silent, put his palm on her shoulder, and whispered, "I have a way."
Tao Ti raised her eyes to look at the "culprit", her cheeks were still flushed, "What can you do?"
Pei Yan quickly asked Fu Xirui to fetch a black cloak with embroidered patterns.
He was tall, and the cloak fit him just right, but Tao Ti was petite, and when covered by the cloak, his whole body was tightly wrapped.
Tao Ti, "..." Good idea.
Outside the tent, Fu Xirui gently reminded that it was time to leave, Pei Yan responded, bent down and directly hugged Tao Ti.
Suddenly flying into the air, she hugged his waist subconsciously, and said in surprise, "Your Highness."
Pei Yan held her firmly in his strong arms, "It's not convenient for you to walk, I'll carry you into the car."
Tao Ti's face suddenly became hot, and she muttered in her heart that you knew it would be inconvenient to walk, but she was ashamed to say so, and just buried her head in his arms.
The cloak covered her tightly, Pei Yan hugged her the whole time, outsiders could see nothing but the back of the Crown Princess' head.
After getting into the carriage, Pei Yan let her sleep on him.
He knew that Meng Lang slept a little last night, and when she fell asleep, he couldn't help asking for it again, which made her sleep restless.
Tao Ti nestled in his arms as if she had no bones, her eyes fixed on the line of his jaw and on his sexy Adam's apple.
She couldn't help reaching out to touch it, and before she dared to touch it, she felt the hand around her waist tightened.
"Don't make trouble." He squeezed her hand.
"I'll touch it."
"You can't bear the consequences of touching her now." He squeezed her hand and kissed it on his lips, coaxing in a low voice, "Rest now, and when I go back at night, I'll let you touch her casually. ""
Tao Ti only felt that the wheel of the car was directly on her face, and complained in her heart: How could a person who looked quite serious before become so dishonest after applauding for love!
She was indeed tired. After the carriage rattled forward, she closed her eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep.
The rainy day is dim and the light is fading. Pei Yan put one arm around her limp body, and leaned on her forehead with the other hand, with a loose expression on her clear eyebrows and eyes, quietly staring at her well-behaved sleeping face.
He thought a lot, thinking of their friendship last night, her charm and deliciousness, her tears, her concealment, and her identity.
She said that she is not the Tao Ti she used to be...
In fact, he has already seen the clue. Perhaps since the night of her wedding, when she was rescued by drinking poisonous alcohol, she has become different.
He never believed in ghosts and gods before, but now, apart from the theory of ghosts and gods, he really couldn't think of any other better explanation.
But he is not that curious, and he doesn't care about those things, as long as her heart, her body, and her whole body belong to him, the rest of the things are meaningless to him.
As the rain continued, he kissed her forehead lightly, thinking in his heart that he would be with her forever and ever, forever, full of children and grandchildren.
When we returned to the East Palace again, it was almost evening.
Tao Ti was carried from the carriage to the bedroom by Pei Yan, without touching the ground the whole time.
At first, the palace people in Yaoguang Palace thought that something happened to the princess, but Linglong explained that she had contracted the cold, and all the palace people were surprised, that's it
Linglong smiled and said, this shows that our prince loves the princess and regards her as a treasure.
The palace people all felt that it made sense, and looked forward to it happily. If the Crown Princess could soon have a little grandson, then there would be more Liangdi Zhaoyi around the Crown Prince in the future, and the position of the Crown Princess would be as solid as gold.
Let's say that Pei Yan carried Tao Ti back to Yaoguang Palace, and the two stayed together for a while, he left to deal with government affairs first, and Tao Ti continued to lie on the bed like a salted fish.
It was dusk in a blink of an eye, looking at the cool autumn rain outside, Tao Ti suddenly wanted to eat some warm soup.
Thinking that she hadn't cooked for a few days, she was also idle, so she got up and went to the small kitchen. After scanning the existing ingredients, she decided to make a pot of Malatang.
The most important thing about Malatang is the base soup. Different places have different recipes for Malatang. The taste of Tao Ti is biased towards the Chongqing area. It is heavy and oily, and the base soup is fragrant and rich.
After frying the bottom ingredients, she began to add side dishes to the soup, fish balls, meat balls, sausage slices, vermicelli, potato slices, lotus root slices, mushrooms, green vegetables, and some beef slices. A pile of various ingredients are steaming in the small pot, and the light rain is crackling outside, and the time has become quiet and leisurely.
Gradually, a burst of salty, spicy and spicy aroma filled the entire small kitchen, the palace servants swallowed greedily, and even the cat Yuanbao came over and meowed.
Tao Ti gave it a fish ball, and it immediately "meowed" obediently, and then buried itself in eating.
After the Mala Tang was cooked, Pei Yan also came back.
Through the window, he can be seen in the misty rain and mist. He is dressed in a bamboo green robe, his figure is as tall and straight as a bamboo, and he is holding an oiled paper umbrella in his knuckle hand, stepping on the rain slowly.
As if smelling the smoke from the kitchen, he raised his eyes and slowly looked towards the kitchen.
Tao Ti looked straight at her, and her first reaction was that her husband's umbrella is so beautiful; her second reaction was, why does such a gentle and fairy-like person look different on the bed.
Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance.
She suppressed the messy thoughts in her mind, and asked the palace servant to return to the palace with the spicy hot pot. She took off her apron, blushed, and walked forward slowly.
