When Shen Xihe woke up, Xiao Huayong was lying beside her, sleeping soundly with shallow breathing. She turned her head and happened to see his face, which was illuminated by the morning light and had a jade-like luster. His long, fine and dark eyelashes made even the girl feel envious.
His sight moved down to his lips. His lips were slightly darker in color because he had poison in his body, but it just happened to make his overly handsome face less feminine, and contrasting with his smooth contours, it added a bit of fortitude.
Shen Xihe has never been a person who cares about color, but he has to admit that it is an extremely beautiful thing to have such a pleasing face with the person next to him.
"Madam, are you looking at me like this because you think I'm so beautiful and want to have a bite of me?" Xiao Huayong, who had woken up at some point, smiled slightly, tilted his head and opened a pair of eyes filled with silver light. His gaze was hooked and he emphasized the word "eat".
The gentle smile on Shen Xihe's face instantly faded. She sat up, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt refreshed. She asked the figure outside the house, "What time is it?"
"Replying to the Crown Princess, it's six o'clock in the morning." Pearl replied from outside the house.
"You should leave quickly, as there will be more people here soon. I also need to get up and go see my father." Shen Xihe got off the bed and took some benzoin for Xiao Huayong before urging him. It was already very late, and she should have gotten up half an hour earlier to go see her father.
Xiao Huayong took the benzoin, leaned forward suddenly, and pecked Shen Xihe on the face. Before Shen Xihe could react, he had floated to the window, half of his body leaning outside, blinked at Shen Xihe with the corner of his eye with a small mole, and disappeared in a flash.
Shen Xihe shook her head helplessly and suppressed her emotions. When she was dressing up, she found that she had a good sleep the night before and looked very good. She had to use makeup to cover it up a little. She ate a few bites of breakfast casually and hurried to Shen Yueshan's house. When she arrived, everyone had already arrived.
Shen Yun'an stepped forward and held her shoulders: "You look haggard, why don't you rest for a while, Dad is here."
Her haggardness was pretended and concealed. Shen Xihe looked up at Shen Yun'an. His eyes were full of red bloodshot and his chin was covered with stubble. He estimated that he did not see what he looked like now.
"Brother, you should take a rest for a while. I will take care of Dad." Shen Xihe said distressedly, "Yoyo needs you, Dad needs you, and the Northwest Palace needs you too. Even if you don't do it for yourself, you have to take care of yourself."
"Brother is fine. In previous years, he had to march and fight, not sleep for days and nights, and also had to be on guard against enemy attacks. Brother was able to make it through. Don't worry." Shen Yun'an couldn't sleep at all at this time. He was worried about Shen Yueshan's condition.
"Brother, if you want to do this, then from now on I will stay by father's side just like you." Seeing that he could not persuade Shen Yun'an, Shen Xihe had to threaten him.
"Yo Yo..."
"Prince, what Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess said is absolutely right. Anyone can fall down at this juncture, except you, Prince. I and others are here, and with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess here, Prince, please go and take a rest." Shen Yueshan's confidant also followed suit to persuade.
Next it was Shen Yueshan's brothers who came, acting as elders and persuading Shen Yun'an in an admonishing and commanding tone. Only then was Shen Xihe sent back to the bedroom. Shen Xihe winked at Zhenzhu.
