Although they were tired, the two of them were not even half sleepy when they were lying on the bed. They just closed their eyes and thought about their own thoughts.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhu Yan suddenly turned sideways and hugged Xia Yuanqiu beside him. He seemed to turn over and fall asleep accidentally. His long arm gently rested on his waist. Seeing that she didn't move, he closed his arm again. , dragging her into his arms, very gently, fearing to wake her up or that she would suddenly reach out and push him away.
But no, she didn't open her eyes or push him away, she just nestled quietly in his arms, listening to his heartbeat and his vague sigh.
She greedily inhaled the taste of his arms. She didn't know how long she could enjoy this taste unscrupulously. This embrace was her most cherished harbor. This man was as important in her life as her father and grandfather. She was a man who was even more important than them. She never thought of leaving him. She thought that they would be happy until they grow old and be together forever.
But now, she is faced with a choice. If she takes the risk with him, the most terrible consequence is that she and Zhu Yan will be buried in the cracks of time and space, never able to come back. If she leaves him behind, he will blame her and hate her. She will be negative and sad, and may even lose confidence in life, but these are only temporary. Time is the best medicine. It can heal all pain. If she can come back, she will definitely try hard to ask for his forgiveness. , if she can't come back, it also gives him a chance to start his life again.
Zhu Yan, originally the most noble person in Xiliang Kingdom, had given up too much for her. She could not be selfish again and again, even if she would suffer heart-gnawing pain.
There was no words all night, and when dawn came, Zhu Yan gently pressed a kiss on her cheek and whispered: "Smelly girl, don't even think about getting rid of me. Don't even think about it."
He got out of bed and went to the courtyard to practice as usual.
Xia Yuanqiu got up quickly after he left. After washing up, she cooked a sumptuous breakfast very quickly. She told Yun Xiangjun to remember to ask Zhu Yan and Wen Rentuo to come over to eat, while she went to Yun Mansion herself. study room.
There are many books in the study room of Yun Mansion, and there is a boy who specializes in organizing books. The boy recognized Xia Yuanqiu, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly greeted her and said, "If the princess needs any books, please tell me, and she will help you immediately." Find out!"
Xia Yuanqiu smiled and said, "I'm looking for a book about celestial phenomena. Is there any?"
The boy nodded hurriedly: "Yes, of course there is. Just wait, I will find it for you right away."
The boy quickly moved a bench and carried it under a bookshelf. He stood on the bench and rummaged around on top of the bookshelf on tiptoes. Finally, he pulled out a green-covered book and jumped off the bench in a hurry. It was delivered to Xia Yuanqiu's hands.
When Xia Yuanqiu saw the words on the book cover, they turned out to be ancient characters again. She had a black line on her head and said with a dry smile: "Little brother, I don't recognize this character. Please help me look for it and see if there are any astronomical books with this kind of characters."
The boy nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I thought you, princess, would want this kind of ancient book, so I'll get you a replacement quickly."
After a while, the boy handed another green-covered book of the same color to Xia Yuanqiu and said, "This one is the same as the one just now. It's a translated version, more detailed, and with pictures."
Xia Yuanqiu flipped through it roughly, and it turned out that it was what she wanted. He quickly took out a piece of gold from the space ring and handed it to the boy: "Take this, thank you for your hard work."
