Led by the palace maid, Xiao Yichen stood at the door of the side hall. After waving away the palace maid, Xiao Yichen pushed the door and walked in.
The room was dark, with only two candlesticks lit sporadically.
"Ji Lingxue..." Xiao Yichen walked forward while calling out her name. He was wondering why Ji Lingxue would stay in the Empress Dowager's palace. There must be something fishy going on.
When Xiao Yichen pulled aside the curtain and stood beside the bed, and saw Ji Lingxue sleeping like a beautiful snake on the bed, he understood everything.
Ji Lingxue was sleeping soundly, with light makeup on. Her long black hair was scattered all over her head, framing her fair and delicate cheeks like a waterfall. Her slightly red lips were dazzling, like a rose blooming in the dark night, emitting an alluring fragrance.
Perhaps it was because the room was too quiet, so quiet that Xiao Yichen could hear his own heartbeat getting faster and faster.
A faint fragrance coming from somewhere lingered at his nose, and Xiao Yichen couldn't help but lower his head and move closer to Ji Lingxue.
However, the next moment, Xiao Yichen's body froze in mid-air. He looked down at Ji Lingxue's sleeping face, and a sense of guilt rose in his heart. He straightened up and took a deep breath for a moment, then he regained his senses.
Recalling the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet where Ji Lingxue had plotted against him, Xiao Yichen's face turned dark, and the beautiful atmosphere was instantly covered by cold air.
He raised his hand and pushed Ji Lingxue's shoulder not gently, "Ji Lingxue, hey, wake up..." We haven't settled the accounts during the day yet, so no one can sleep well tonight!
Ji Lingxue was lying on the bed with her eyes still closed, as if she couldn't hear his voice.
After shaking Ji Lingxue for a while, Xiao Yichen became annoyed. He stood up, walked to the window, opened it and started to let in the cool air.
Ji Lingxue on the bed moved her eyelids, and cautiously opened them a little to look around the room. Her sight fell on Xiao Yichen, who was standing by the window wearing a purple prince's robe. Ji Lingxue wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue.
Ji Lingxue had to admit that Xiao Yichen was actually quite a gentleman. She felt nervous just after drinking the miyao tea given by the empress dowager. She thought of many possibilities and took precautions, but things did not develop in a bad direction.
Ji Lingxue looked up at the curtains above the bed and sighed: It seems that Xiao Yichen is really not interested in women, could it be that he... really likes men
Ji Lingxue couldn't help but imagine whether Xiao Yichen was a top or a bottom, and whether he liked his military advisor. The man looked quite weak, and was a good match for him.
Xiao Yichen turned around and saw Ji Lingxue opening her eyes and looking at the bed curtain. He leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, "Are you awake?"
Ji Lingxue shuddered suddenly, turned around and gave Xiao Yichen an awkward smile: "My Lord, you have also entered the palace."
"You threw me in the clothing shop and turned around to go into the palace. What do you want to do?" Xiao Yichen's words were murderous, as if something bad would happen if he didn't get a satisfactory answer.
Ji Lingxue turned over and sat up, shrugging innocently, "It was the Queen Mother who asked me to come and accompany her often. There's no need to tell you everything about the agreement between us women, right?"
Xiao Yichen: "It would be best if you didn't do anything to harm me. I hate being betrayed the most."
Ji Lingxue smiled indifferently, looking heartless.
Xiao Yichen suddenly strode towards Ji Lingxue, scaring her so much that she hugged her pillow and huddled in a corner, "You're a grown man, you're not going to fight with me for the bed, are you?"
Xiao Yichen sat on the bed and turned his head to look at Ji Lingxue, "You didn't lose your memory, did you? I am your husband and you, so there's nothing wrong with us sleeping in the same bed together?"
Ji Lingxue blinked, and then saw Xiao Yichen raised his foot as a matter of course, and the black cloud-soled boots fell in front of her.
Xiao Yichen said: "Take off my shoes for me."
Ji Lingxue: “…”
Did this guy treat her as a maid? !
Ji Lingxue curled her lips, looking as if she would never obey.
Xiao Yichen sighed, shook his head, put on his slippers and went to bed. Ji Lingxue was still in shock until Xiao Yichen's snoring started.
Ji Lingxue naturally did not sleep well that night. The presence of a man in the room made every cell in her body tense. How could she sleep well
The bed was occupied by Xiao Yichen, and Ji Lingxue sat on the soft couch by the window, planning to watch the stars all night.
