Lu Ze stood up and walked to the outer room. Seeing Qi Yuning wrapped in three thick silk quilts, he chuckled. Qi Yuning's bare face when sleeping was much more beautiful than her usual elegant and sophisticated princess look.
Qi Yuning opened her eyes and saw Lu Ze staring at her. She frowned and asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"
Lu Ze said hoarsely, "No, I just think you look pretty even in this plain look."
Qi Yuning chuckled softly, "You only knew this princess was beautiful on the first day? Where's Lingling?"
"Lingling is still sleeping. I should go to the morning court. Princess, you can go back to bed and sleep."
Qi Yuning was more than happy to go back to the bed and hug Lingling, the little stove. She felt warm as soon as she got into bed.
The feet that had been kept warm by the hot water bottle all night were finally warmed up by the Lingling stove.
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling tightly and fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, it seemed like I was in a secluded orchid valley.
In the Orchid Valley, Lu Ze suddenly appeared in front of them, his peach blossom eyes smiling as he said, "Sister Qi, I warmed your bed for you. Did you sleep well?"
Qi Yuning woke up suddenly, his forehead covered in sweat. How could he have such a nightmare?
Qi Yuning stood up and instructed Lichun, "After Lingling wakes up, change the bedding on the bed."
Lichun replied, "Yes."
After Qi Yuning washed up, she began to look at the account book. While looking at the account book, she fell into deep thought.
The struggle for imperial power is treacherous and complex. Although we know that Xiao Zhaojie will succeed to the throne in the future, no one can predict the dangers involved, and it is also hard to say whether there will be any changes.
Huo An has been lurking in the Shu Palace for more than ten years. Qi Yuning couldn't guess what Uncle Huo meant. And what did Uncle Huo mean when he said, "Uncle is not my uncle"?
Princess Shan was just a child, so why was she abused to death?
His Majesty is old, and there may have been undercurrents beneath this peaceful Dasheng Empire. Qi Yuning had to be on guard.
…
In the princess's mansion.
Qin Yuli came to see Princess Pingrou early in the morning just to inquire about Lingling.
Princess Pingrou knew her cousin well. She had liked Lu Ze since she was a child. Two years ago, Lady Qin had also thought about betrothing Qin Yuli to Lu Ze, but Lu Ze refused.
Lu Ze had always followed his parents' orders regarding marriage, and the only one he refused was Qin Yuli.
Princess Pingrou now knew that Qin Yuli was after Lingling's identity, so she kept avoiding the topic and refused to mention Lingling's identity directly.
"Cousin Ze!"
Qin Yuli saw Lu Ze coming from the Moon Gate and happily stepped forward to salute him.
Princess Pingrou saw Lu Ze coming back and asked, "When did you come back?"
"last night."
Princess Pingrou asked, "Last night? You didn't stay at home last night?"
Lu Ze nodded slightly. "I was too tired last night, so I slept in the courtyard outside."
Qin Yuli smelled the fragrance coming from Lu Ze. It was not just the orchid scent he was used to wearing, but also the incense wood. The incense wood was expensive, and most people used it as bracelets or tea trays.
Only Qi Yuning was extravagant, burning incense and using it to fumigate his clothes and quilts.
Princess Pingrou also smelled the fragrance on Lu Ze. "This fragrance suits you better than the orchid scent. Where did you get it?"
Qin Yuli's eyes were red as she said, "In all of Shengjing, only Qi Yuning uses incense. Cousin Ze, is the fragrance on your body contaminated by the fragrance on Qi Yuning's body?"
