Huayan didn't go out to bask in the sun for many days, now she was lying on the recliner, with the warm sun shining on her body, she closed her eyes very comfortably, and soon fell asleep.
Caiqing and Xiaozhongzi looked at each other, and they both quietly dared not disturb her.
Half an hour later, Xiao Zhongzi saw that Huayan was still asleep, so he asked Caiqing in a low voice, "Should the princess be moved to the room to sleep? If she sleeps for a long time, what should I do if I catch a cold?"
Cai Qing hesitated and said, "It was just half an hour ago, and now it's warm, and the princess is covered with a thin quilt, so she shouldn't catch a cold."
Xiao Zhongzi was still worried, "Prince Princess is weak now, and when she really catches a cold, neither you nor I can bear it."
Caiqing also hesitated, seeing that Huayan was sleeping soundly, she couldn't bear to wake her up, thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, we can just move the recliner back into the room so as not to disturb the Crown Princess's sleep, but also to keep her from catching cold. "
Xiao Zhongzi nodded, "Good idea, let's do it this way."
So, the two moved closer, and one of them occupied one end, and they were about to move the recliner.
Huayan didn't sleep too deeply, she woke up slowly, opened her eyes and took a look, and said, "It's okay, I'll go into the room after sleeping a little longer, I won't catch a cold."
The two stopped immediately.
Huayan slept for another half an hour, couldn't bear to let the two of them worry all the time, so she got up slowly, and was supported by Caiqing back to the house.
After returning to the house, she was no longer sleepy, and said to Caiqing with a smile, "If there are any strange novels or stories in the city, go find a couple of them to relieve boredom."
Caiqing readily agreed and went immediately.
Not long after, Caiqing came back with a big stack, and laid them out in front of Huayan, "Crown Princess, look, these are all the latest ones, which one do you like?"
Huayan glanced at it, flipped through it casually, and picked out a book about wit and beauty, and said with a smile, "This is it."
Caiqing nodded, put away the rest, and said to Huayan, "I will read to you, so that you won't get tired from reading."
"Alright." Hua Yan handed the script to Cai Qing.
Cai Qing tried her best to imitate a storyteller with her crisp voice, and began to read with emotion.
Huayan leaned against the bedside, listening quietly to pass the time.
In the evening, when the sky was getting dark and Yun Chi hadn't come back yet, Xiao Zhongzi came in and whispered, "Your Highness hasn't come back yet, but you are hungry so I asked the kitchen to bring dinner, you eat it first."
Hua Yan asked, "Can he send a message saying that he won't come back to eat?"
Xiao Zhongzi shook his head, "No."
Huayan said, "Then wait."
Xiao Zhongzi was very happy for His Highness the Crown Prince, but he still said, "You should use it first, if you are starved to death, His Highness will be the only servant to ask you when you come back."
Huayan smiled and said, "It's not that serious, I'm not hungry yet, wait another half an hour, if he doesn't come back, I'll eat again."
Xiao Zhongzi nodded and retreated.
Seeing that Caiqing had been studying for an hour and a half, Huayan probably must be tired too, so she took the opportunity to ask her to stop.
Caiqing put down the book and said, "The book is not well written. That wit is too weak. He is full of literary talents, but he can't lift his shoulders. He travels with that lady and encounters robbers and rascals. He still wants that lady." Protect him, fortunately that young lady has practiced martial arts since she was a child, otherwise, wouldn't it be a disadvantage to see that she is a scholar who is useless."
Huayan pursed her lips happily, "It's true."
Cai Qing said again, "It's better for His Royal Highness, who is both civil and military, to break into King Gu's palace alone and rescue the princess."
Huayan smiled, and looked at Caiqing, "Does the empress's hidden guards all worship His Royal Highness as much as you do?"
Cai Qing nodded, and said affirmatively, "Well, Your Highness has been gifted with precocious wisdom since childhood, and has literary talents and martial arts. It is difficult for ordinary people. We respect and worship His Highness the Crown Prince very much."
Hua Yan asked with a smile, "How many people are there in this dark guard?"
Cai Qing said, "Two hundred people. After the empress died, some of them were buried. The slaves were selected by the guards when they were three years old and made up for them. This time when they came to the southwest, His Highness selected fifty people. The slaves are the luckiest. Choose to serve you."
Huayan nodded, and asked in a low voice, "How did the empress die because she was weak and ill?"
Caiqing shook her head, and said in a low voice, "I don't know, when the servant came, the lady had been dead for several years."
Huayan thinks about it too, considering her age, she is still very young, and the empress has been dead for fifteen years.
The Hua family in Lin'an has nothing to do with the royal family, so although the hidden stakes are spread all over the world and they are deeply planted, they don't probe into the royal family's private secrets. Since she was eleven years old, she took over all the common affairs of the Hua family in Lin'an. Now five years, she has ignored the affairs of the royal family. She thought that she would never have anything to do with it in her whole life. Who knew she became a crown princess.
Now that I have agreed to Yunchi, it will be a matter of my life. It seems that I still need to know more about it in the future.
Just as she was thinking, Xiao Zhongzi's voice came from outside, "Prince
Concubine, His Highness has returned home. "
Huayan nodded, "Understood, let the kitchen prepare."
Xiao Zhongzi responded and rushed out to welcome him.
Not long after, Yun Chi walked over quickly, before Xiao Zhongzi opened the curtain, he quickly raised the bead curtain himself, and entered the inner hall in three or two steps.
Cai Qing quickly saluted, "His Royal Highness"
Yunchi said "hmm", came to the bed, and asked Huayan, "Waiting for me to have dinner"
Huayan looked at him, covered in dust, she seemed to be out of the city today, not in the capital, she nodded, "Why did you leave in such a hurry, you look covered in sweat."
Yun Chi took a step back when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you'll be in a hurry waiting for me to have dinner, and you are indeed sweating."
Huayan smiled and asked, "It's not too late, I'm not hungry yet, do you want to take a bath first and then eat?"
Yun Chi nodded and gave instructions to the outside.
Xiao Zhongzi quickly agreed.
Cai Qing knew that Yun Chi didn't like people swaying around in front of him, so she quickly backed out.
Yun Chi took off his coat, and asked Huayan, "Caiqing suits you."
Huayan nodded, "It's very agreeable, straightforward, and very pleasant."
Yun Chi smiled and said, "Then stay by your side and let her serve you." After a pause, he added, "After the queen mother passed away, she left a hidden guard for her daughter-in-law to wait for you." When it’s done, I’d like to take over.”
Huayan rubbed her chin and said, "The secret guards left by the empress to her daughter-in-law, do they listen to her daughter-in-law alone, or do they listen to her son most?"
Yun Chi couldn't help but stare at her with eyes like a spring, and said with a smile, "Is it important that a husband and wife are one?"
Hua Yan nodded sincerely, "It's very important, a husband and wife are one, and there should be a little privacy for each other."
Yun Chi smiled and said meaningfully, "I don't want to have any small space with you."
Huayan blushed, and turned her head away, "I'm telling you seriously, if you give me something, you have to obey me completely, otherwise, you can keep it for yourself."
Yun Chi raised his forehead, "Can we discuss it?"
"Yeah." Hua Yan turned her head to look at him again, "What is the discussion?"
Yun Chi said, "Try not to make the space too big, and keep it small. Except for trivial things, any big things that involve your relationship with me, you must let me know, and you must not hide it from me, how about it?"
Huayan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Let me think about it."
Xiao Zhongzi brought someone to bring water, and after the screen was released, Yun Chi stopped talking and went inside with a smile.
Huayan leaned on the pillow, listening to the rustling sound of undressing inside, and then the gentle sound of water splashing, thinking to herself that this prince, Yunchi, really doesn't have the pomp of a noble status, bathing and taking care of himself, etc. I did it all by myself, not even Xiao Zhongzi.
Generally, noble sons from rich and noble families rely on maids to take care of bathing, grooming, etc., but thanks to his prince, he likes to do everything by himself.
Not long after, Yun Chi finished bathing, changed into a loose soft robe, walked out of the screen, came to the bed, stretched out his hand and pulled Huayan into his arms, with gentle eyes and a warm voice, "What are you thinking?"
Huayan didn't resist, leaned into her arms, and asked lazily, "Where did you go out of the city today? The situation outside is still optimistic."
Yun Chi rested his chin on his shoulder, hugged her and said, "I went three hundred miles away, met Mei Shuyu's soldiers and horses from Southern Chu, and made some arrangements. The situation hasn't deteriorated, it's not serious, I can handle it."
Huayan frowned, "It took three hundred miles to go, and three hundred miles to come back. You are very tired from traveling all day, right? It's okay if you don't come back today."
Yun Chi rubbed her shoulder, with a hint of a smile in his voice, "I'm not tired, if I don't come back, I won't be at ease, and I won't trust you."
Huayan felt that the thin brocade silk on her shoulders was scorching hot from his rubbing, and she blushed, "I don't know how to run, so why don't you feel at ease if you don't feel at ease?"
Yun Chi shook his head and said with a smile, "I know you won't run away. That's not what I mean. I don't see you for a day, I'm afraid I can't bear it. Although there are many people in the palace, it is in southern Xinjiang after all. Afraid of making a mistake."
Huayan's heart felt warm, and she stretched out her hand to push him, "Eat dinner, even if I'm not hungry, you must be too."
Yunchi nodded, and went to the table with Huayan in his arms.
Xiao Zhongzi led the people to put the dinner on the table one by one, and retreated with a smile.
