Chapter 10

Qi Xinglan said that she would not sleep with him and that meant she would not sleep with him. After dinner, she went back to Linlai Lanquan Palace to find him. Fu Wen did not dare to wait any longer and hurried in to report.

Qi Xinglan had no intention of letting him in after hearing this. He had already come back from his bath and was lying on the couch in his pajamas, studying Xiyuan's history book.

"Your Majesty? Are you really not going to let the King in?"

Qi Xinglan looked up at the girl and waved her hand to let her go. "No! If he succeeds, I won't be able to live in peace."

"...Yes." Fu Wen did not dare to resist, she just hoped that the king would not be angry with her.

Hui Lin had excellent hearing and he heard every word the two people spoke.

The next moment, Fu Wen heard the usually serious and dignified king banging on the door and shouting, "Lan'er! Please let me in! I can't sleep well without you by my side."

Knowing that Qi Xinglan would take soft words but not hard ones, Hui Lin hunched his shoulders and said in a trembling voice: "Lan'er, it's very cold outside. I wonder if the dragon in your room is burning well..."

Qi Xinglan was already hesitant, and she wavered even more when she heard that he had sold out.

Even though she knew he was pretending, Qi Xinglan still gave Fu Wen a look and asked her to open the door.

Fu Wen smiled and bowed her head in response, with a hint of helplessness in her smile, "I knew that your Majesty the Queen would not bear to leave the King."

"No way!" Qi Xinglan wanted to explain, but Fu Wen went to release Lin and didn't hear her.

Hui Lin rushed in impatiently from outside, and the warm air hit his face.

As soon as he came in, he saw Qi Xinglan half lying on the bed. His face was healthy and rosy, his cheeks were plumper than when they first met, and he looked cuter than before.

He already liked his Lan'er very much, and he felt uncomfortable when he couldn't touch her at all, let alone now that she was staring at him blankly, with her collar half open, revealing her fair chest.

He rushed to Qi Xinglan almost immediately, and without waiting for the person to react, he directly pressed Qi Xinglan tightly into his arms.

The cold air from his body had not yet dissipated, but Qi Xinglan was startled by the chill and pushed his arm away with great effort, "You're hugging me too tight! You're so cold!"

The man in front of him seemed to suddenly realize the difference in their body temperatures. He let go of Qi Xinglan awkwardly and took a step back, lowering his head and not looking at him.

People who didn’t know would think Qi Xinglan was making trouble again.

Qi Xinglan realized that his tone was indeed a little impatient when he spoke just now, but now he immediately lowered his head and stepped down from the stage, as if he was very easy to talk to.

This time he must learn a lesson!

Qi Xinglan thought so, and the two of them stood there in a stalemate, neither moving nor speaking. Qi Xinglan couldn't stand the strange atmosphere, so she cleared her throat and asked him, "Has the cool air on you dissipated?"

Of course, his tone was still very bad, but the king was already very satisfied. He immediately raised his head and took the step back, "It's already warm..."

After hearing the answer, Qi Xinglan sat up a little. Hui Lin didn't understand what she meant at first, until Qi Xinglan opened her arms and didn't move, then he realized what she meant.

"Lan Er you..."

"You're all warm now, why don't you come and hug me!"

To be honest, Qi Xinglan felt that she was being very unreasonable after she finished speaking, but Hui Lin happily went forward and hugged Qi Xinglan.

"Lan'er just took a bath, right?"

"Um..."

"You smell great, I love it."

Qi Xinglan raised her body slightly and hugged his shoulders, but he found a loophole and pushed her down directly. Qi Xinglan exclaimed: "Hui Lin, what are you going to do!"

Hui Lin looked down, and when he heard that, he raised his head and smiled at him meaningfully, "No, but I want to get some benefits..."

Before Qi Xinglan could refuse, he opened her clothes.

His knees were pressed hard by Hui Lin's hands, leaving red marks. Qi Xinglan couldn't stand it and wanted to lift his legs several times, but Hui Lin held him down.

After finishing, Hui Lin casually reached out a towel to wipe his mouth, then stood up and kissed Qi Xinglan.

"Hmm!" Qi Xinglan knew that he had just swallowed it, and she felt uncomfortable and didn't want him to kiss her even more.

But in this kind of thing, Huilin always succeeds in the end.

After Hui Lin calmed his breathing, he hugged Qi Xinglan in his arms again. He looked up at Hui Lin's slightly closed eyes. His eye sockets were deep, his nose was high, and his temper was okay.

Of course, that aspect is also very impressive.

Qi Xinglan was somewhat satisfied with Hui Lin as her "husband".

Although Hui Lin closed his eyes, he was not asleep. After noticing Qi Xinglan moving, he held him closer to him.

Qi Xinglan immediately sensed his uneasiness. Thinking back to the steps just now, he felt that he should have learned something a long time ago, so he asked tentatively: "Why don't you..."

"Um?"

Qi Xinglan risked her life and said, "I can help you..."

Although he said it, his voice became weaker and weaker, but it was still loud enough for Hui Lin to hear it clearly.

He scratched Qi Xinglan's nose and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"If you really want to help me..." Hui Lin held his hand and stretched it towards herself.

......

Qi Xinglan's hands were almost broken before he stopped.

"So long..." Qi Xinglan muttered softly.

“But you usually like it.”

Qi Xinglan turned away in anger and humiliation again. Hui Lin grabbed his two hands and rubbed them one by one. He didn't move for a long time. Hui Lin looked at him again, but found that he had already fallen asleep soundly.

I am tired indeed.

Hui Lin hugged him gently, let his head rest on his arm, then bent down and kissed him before he went to sleep.

—

The next day, before Qi Xinglan woke up, she moved twice unconsciously and was immediately hugged tightly.

Qi Xinglan was so sleepy that she didn't even open her eyes and fell asleep soon.

By the time he finally woke up, Huilin had already gone to court.

Fu Wen wanted to go in and wake him up, but she saw Qi Xinglan had already woken up. The latter was about to ask her what was wrong, but she saw Fu Wen's eyes move down and see something on her body, and her expression suddenly became unnatural.

Qi Xinglan frowned in confusion, "What happened?"

Fu Wen was still a little girl, and she stammered, "Your Majesty, it's too obvious on your neck. Why is the king like this..."

Qi Xinglan then lowered her head. No wonder Fu Wen looked at her so strangely. There were marks all over both sides of Qi Xinglan's neck. Anyone could tell how they came about.

I guess I didn't let Huilin get the real deal, and he took revenge on me in the middle of the night when I was not paying attention.

"No! I..."

Qi Xinglan knew she had no way to defend herself, so she pretended to be angry and urged Fu Wen to leave.

Qi Xinglan came back from washing up and looked through the bronze mirror to see that even though she was wearing clothes, she could still see some marks of eczema. She couldn't help but blame him in her heart.

Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and they have to wear cloaks when going out, so part of their necks are blocked so that people can't see clearly. Otherwise, the whole royal court would know what they did last night.

It was cold outside, and Qi Xinglan hardly went out all day. She was still studying the book she hadn't finished reading yesterday.

"Queen, it's getting dark. Why don't you invite the king to have dinner at Lanquan Palace?"

"It's so cold, a hot pot is the best thing to do."

After Fu Wen's reminder, Qi Xinglan looked up at the sky outside the window. It was already turning yellow and was getting dark.

Qi Xinglan was still sulking about his careless behavior yesterday, but then she remembered that she was the only one left in Huilin, and she would feel lonely in the cold weather...

Qi Xinglan was actually moved by Fu Wen's proposal, but that was just his character. Fu Wen had been with him for more than half a month, so she knew what was going on when she saw his expression.

Without Qi Xinglan having to speak, she asked first: "Then I will take charge and ask someone to invite the king?"

Seeing that he was still hesitant and didn't nod, Fu Wen understood, "Just say that it was someone below who made the decision on their own and didn't tell you in advance that they made the decision on their own."

Qi Xinglan raised her eyebrows at this point, "That's fine too."

—

Fu Wen's subordinates moved quickly. When Hui Lin heard that it was someone from Qixing Lan Palace calling him, he said "impossible" but his body had already stood up to listen.

The people below knelt down and repeated what Fu Wen had said.

Taking into account the presence of others, Hui Lin's expression remained normal. After the palace servants finished speaking and Qi Xinglan waved her hand for them to leave, he moved freely, walked around inside for a few times before putting on his clothes and going out.

"Go to Lanquan Hall."

Qi Xinglan was waiting for him here and hadn't started cooking yet.

Fu Wen saw the person coming and was about to report when he stopped her. "I'll go in like this. You go down."

"yes."

Qi Xinglan sat comfortably and didn't even move her eyelids when she heard the steady footsteps.

"Lan'er, why didn't I see you during the day? I thought you would come to Zichen Palace to find me."

"How could you not know why I didn't go out!"

He was embarrassed to show so many traces to others.

When I returned to Lin, I knew that I was too reckless yesterday and Lan'er would definitely be angry. I thought I would really have to guard Hengyi Palace alone tonight, but I got such good news.

However, he did not dare to forget to please Qi Xinglan. He ignored the cold stares and sat next to him. "I was too much yesterday. I will accept Lan'er's beating and scolding me if she wants to."

It was clearly his fault, but he always pretended to be submissive. Qi Xinglan hated him the most.

"You always—"

"Yes, yes, Lan'er, I always do this. I promise this is the last time. From now on, I will never leave any marks on the bed without your permission."

Having said that, Hui Lin Zhen raised three fingers to swear.

"If there is any violation, I will..."

"Okay, let's eat!" The pot was on, and steam was coming out with a rumbling sound.

Qi Xinglan glanced at Hui Lin who was still standing there in a daze, "Why are you standing there? Aren't you hungry? If you're not hungry, go back."

"I'm so hungry. I'm starving. Lan'er is not here, and I can't eat well the whole day." As if afraid that Qi Xinglan would not believe him, he picked up a random piece of food with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

The hot pot must be very hot. Hui Lin was shivering from the heat. Qi Xinglan was laughing at his funny look. "Okay, eat slowly!"

Hearing his calming tone, Hui Lin saw Qi Xinglan's brightly smiling face again. He walked over and looked into her eyes carefully, "Lan'er, you're smiling."

Qi Xinglan immediately stopped smiling when she heard him say, "As long as you are happy."

The former's eyes wandered, and he used eating as a cover to get through this period.

Tonight, Huilin seemed to have learned a lesson. Apart from insisting on sleeping with someone in his arms, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Nothing happened all night.
