Chapter 211 Have you thought about it?
A month later.
"Xiao Ye, is it time to get up?" Qing Yi looked outside and saw that it was already bright, then looked at Ye Qingyu who was still sleeping with his eyes closed.
"Hmm? Get up, I'll sleep for a while." Ye Qingyu turned over without opening his eyes.
"Hey, that's not right. Xiaoye has been going out early and coming back late every day for the past month. How come he slept in today?" Qing Yi was slightly startled, and a trace of doubt could not help but arise in his heart.
"Xiao Ye, are you feeling okay?" Qing Yi's heart tightened, and he quickly reached out and gently stroked Ye Qingyu's forehead. Ye Qingyu let Qing Yi's hand touch his forehead, still closing his eyes tightly, immersed in his own dream, unwilling to wake up.
"You don't have a fever. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Qing Yi took Xiaoye's pulse again and found that her pulse was steady and strong, with nothing unusual.
"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, open your eyes and look at me!" Qing Yi couldn't find out the reason for Ye Qingyu's abnormal behavior, so he had no choice but to gently shake the person beside him.
Ye Qingyu was a little annoyed by the continuous disturbance and murmured in dissatisfaction: "Huh? Qingyi, what are you doing? Don't disturb me." He moved his body further into the bed, away from Qingyi's disturbance.
"Something's wrong? Xiaoye, what's wrong with you? I'll ask someone to call Doctor Lin!" Qing Yi said as he was about to get out of bed.
"Don't go..." When Ye Qingyu heard Qing Yi wanted to ask Doctor Lin, he seemed to wake up instantly and grabbed Qing Yi's sleeve.
"What's wrong with you?" Qing Yi looked at Ye Qingyu with concern again, and looked at him carefully. It didn't seem like he was feeling unwell.
"I have finished learning the art of playing the zither and the art of mechanical engineering. I am a little tired and want to sleep a little longer." Ye Qingyu closed his eyes, his voice sounding a little lazy.
"Ah? You've finished learning? Why didn't you tell me last night?" Qing Yi was slightly stunned. He knew that Xiao Ye was indeed very tired this month. He went out early and came back late every day, and it was very hard.
"Yeah." Ye Qingyu responded again.
Qing Yi remained silent, quietly admiring the sleeping face of his beloved. Her delicate features and long eyelashes looked particularly beautiful in the morning light. Gradually, Qing Yi's heart began to wander, and his hand involuntarily reached over and gently stroked the person's cheek.
Ye Qingyu unconsciously raised her hand and gently pushed away Qing Yi's touch, as if protesting against this sudden interruption.
Seeing this, Qing Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, "I've been holding it in for a month! Finally, the ban is lifted!"
"Hmm..." Ye Qingyu finally opened his eyes in a daze, complaining secretly in his heart that the people around him were really annoying, constantly touching him here and there, disturbing him and preventing him from sleeping.
"Xiao Ye, did you deliberately not tell me?" Qing Yi asked with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
“…” Ye Qingyu looked at Qing Yi who was approaching her, just staring at him silently without saying a word.
"Let's discuss this. Can you go back to sleep later?" Qing Yi leaned close to Ye Qingyu and said softly.
"No, don't bother me," Ye Qingyu refused firmly. He hadn't wanted to tell Qing Yi last night because he was worried that if he knew, he wouldn't let him rest properly. Over the past month, he'd been forced to absorb so much knowledge that he was truly exhausted. He'd just let the cat out of the bag in his sleep. He'd originally planned to rest for two days before telling Qing Yi.
"It has to be done no matter how hard it is!" Qing Yi would not endure it any longer, and he started to touch her all over in a very impulsive manner.
Ye Qingyu gradually woke up. What else could he do? He had no choice but to obey and let Qingyi do whatever he wanted. After all, Qingyi had been doing well over the past month. In order to let him focus on learning the art of the zither and the art of mechanical engineering, he didn't get too close to him.
"Xiao Ye, did you miss me?" Qing Yi asked while gently stroking Ye Qingyu's skin.
"Aren't we together every day?" Ye Qingyu opened his eyes and said lightly.
"Have you ever thought about it..." Qing Yi pointed with his finger, with a teasing look in his eyes.
With a sudden "bang", Ye Qingyu, the young prince of the Northwest, who was still a little thin-skinned, felt a burning sensation on his face. He couldn't stand the teasing and quickly turned his head away.
The two continued to linger, immersed in this warm and sweet time.
Outside the palace
Is the young prince here? Your Majesty invites you to the front hall." The housekeeper arrived with a message, breaking the momentary silence.
"..." The maids around Ye Qingyu looked at each other, not knowing how to respond. It was already noon, and their mistress hadn't gotten up yet. What should they do?
"Huh? The young prince is not here?" the butler asked in confusion.
"Well... the master came back late last night..." The head maid Ruxue explained haltingly, with a bit of embarrassment on her face.
"He hasn't gotten up yet?" The housekeeper was surprised. It was already so late, why hadn't the young prince gotten up yet? Could he be sick? Thinking of this, the housekeeper couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"I will go and inform him right away." Ruxue didn't dare to wait any longer. After all, it was the prince who asked the young prince to come over, and there was no time to delay.
Just as she reached the door of the bedroom, she heard faint sounds coming from inside. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, has the master woken up?
"Master? Are you awake?" Ruxue asked in a raised voice, with a hint of tentativeness in her voice.
However, there was no response from inside. Ruxue was very puzzled. She clearly heard some movement inside, so why didn't the master answer?
She had no choice but to raise her voice again, "Master, the prince invites you over."
"Got it. I'll be there soon." After a while, someone finally responded from inside, but it was not the young prince's voice, but Young Master Qingyi's.
Ruxue immediately understood, her face slightly red, and she hurried out of the bedroom, secretly thanking herself for not rashly in.
"Is the young prince up?" The butler was still waiting for a reply. Seeing Ruxue come out, he asked hurriedly.
"Well...that...the master said he would come over after washing up..." Ruxue replied hesitantly.
"Okay, then I'll go back and report." Seeing this, the butler didn't ask any more questions and turned away.
"Ruxue, is everything alright, Master? Why haven't you gotten up yet?" the maid, Ruying, asked, a worried look on her face. Qingqing had taken leave yesterday, saying she had to go to the other courtyard to help Doctor Lin pick fruits, so she wasn't around.
"Get up right away. I'm going to get some water." Ruxue didn't dare to tell him why her master hadn't gotten up yet, so she had to make up an excuse. But just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw Ruying walking towards the bedroom with a new set of clothes for the young prince. She quickly called out, "Ruying, where are you going?"
