The next day, Ji Lingxue was awakened by Xiao Yichen's voice. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw Xiao Yichen right in front of her. Ji Lingxue's heart skipped a beat. After realizing that she was sleeping on a soft couch, her heart settled down.
Xiao Yichen twitched his lips, "Are you so afraid of me getting close to you?"
Ji Lingxue did not answer, but just stared at Xiao Yichen's serious eyes. Silence was the best answer.
Xiao Yichen turned around, opened the door and walked out.
Ji Lingxue let out a breath, touched the imperial pen hidden on her body, and her depressed mood disappeared.
The door creaked open, Ji Lingxue turned around, only to see Xiao Yichen coming back with a copper basin.
Ji Lingxue twitched the corners of her mouth. This was the imperial palace, and the thing that was most in demand in the palace was maids to serve. What was wrong with Xiao Yichen? Why did he have to do it himself
Xiao Yichen seemed to understand Ji Lingxue's thoughts and explained, "These maids who come to serve are all spies from various palaces, some are from the empress dowager, and some are from the emperor. Do you want him to know that we two don't get along well? You sleep while I sleep on the bed and you sleep on the couch?"
Ji Lingxue said "oh", since the palace maid didn't come, she had to fix her hairstyle by herself.
From the bronze mirror, Ji Lingxue saw that Xiao Yichen kept himself organized. It seemed that he usually didn't ask others to help him wash and groom himself.
Ji Lingxue: Xiao Yichen, I seem to be increasingly unable to understand you...
Xiao Yichen wrung out the towel and walked to Ji Lingxue. He found that she was in a trance, so he waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Were you spying on me just now?"
Ji Lingxue raised her head and corrected him, "No, I was clearly looking at it openly."
Xiao Yichen smiled and handed the towel to Ji Lingxue, "I've long been accustomed to dressing and washing myself."
Ji Lingxue pointed to the messy hair on her head and said, "Then what should I do?" Mo Xiang took care of her daily life, and she had never combed her hair into a complicated bun.
Xiao Yichen tilted his head and thought for a moment, then walked behind Ji Lingxue and said, "I will comb it for you."
A quarter of an hour later, Ji Lingxue walked out of the side hall with her rough braided hair. Xiao Yichen was walking in front of her, so Ji Lingxue could not see the faint smile on his face.
The empress dowager got up early today, perhaps because she was thinking about the progress of Ji Lingxue and Xiao Yichen last night, so she sent the palace maids to pay their respects early. When the palace maids came back to report, Xiao Yichen sent them all away and walked back to his room with the copper basin in his hand.
When the Queen Mother saw Ji Lingxue and Xiao Yichen coming in hand in hand, a bright smile appeared on her face.
After greeting the Queen Mother good morning, Ji Lingxue and Xiao Yichen left the palace under the surprised gazes of the palace maids.
Just after returning to the palace, Ji Lingxue wanted to go back to sleep, but Xiao Yichen called her, "Let's have breakfast together."
Ji Lingxue looked up and met Xiao Yichen's warning eyes. The words of refusal were stuck in her throat. She lowered her head and silently followed Xiao Yichen to the flower hall.
In the flower hall, Ji Yuqing and Zi Su had been waiting there early. When they saw Xiao Yichen coming, bright smiles appeared on their faces, like flowers welcoming the sun. When they saw Ji Lingxue following behind Xiao Yichen, they were both puzzled and puzzled, and finally smiled silently with their heads down.
Ji Lingxue was no longer surprised. She had disliked Xiao Yichen's hairstyle thousands of times, but she didn't know how to do it herself, so she had to endure it.
Ji Yuqing said: "Sister, your hairstyle... Oh, it's so weird..."
Of course, Ji Lingxue was not the only one who was insulted. Xiao Yichen's face turned dark instantly, but he couldn't get angry. He would not admit in front of everyone that he combed a woman's hair. It would be too damaging to his wisdom as a prince.
