"Have you slept enough?"
Xie Qingyao looked at He Zheng beside the bed, still a little dazed. After a while, she said "hmm".
The next second, He Zheng picked her up. When He Zheng put clothes on her, Xie Qingyao was embarrassed and wanted to hide.
But she has always been a lazy person and won't make herself suffer. If someone serves her, she won't be picky. She will get used to it after a few times.
As you adapt, you will accept it well.
Although it was a day off, He Zheng did not handle any official business. He really just accompanied her, watching the snow, drinking tea, and even daydreaming at the villa.
Xie Qingyao wrapped herself in a cloak, snuggled up to He Zheng's arm, holding a small heater in her hand, and looked relaxed and lazy.
Until an uninvited guest came to the villa.
"Princess Yongle is here?" Xie Qingyao heard the servants report, "Let's welcome her in."
It turned out that Princess Yongle heard that she came to Yunlin Villa yesterday, so she set out from the princess residence early this morning, as if to fulfill the previous agreement with her - to take a hot spring bath.
He Zheng stroked the back of Xie Qingyao's neck with his palm, then gently turned her face and kissed her.
His kiss was gentle.
When Princess Yongle arrived, she froze not far away.
The Marquis of Anguo's eyes were cold. Was it her imagination? Did he not seem to welcome her?
Xie Qingyao took the lead, walked down the bluestone steps, and took Princess Yongle's arm. "Your Highness is here. Yesterday I was thinking it would be great if Your Highness were here too, so we could have fun together."
Together……
Princess Yongle didn't dare to stay with Marquis Anguo as she felt very oppressed.
"You should just call me Yongle instead of Your Highness. It sounds strange."
To be honest, she doesn't have many friends. Those noble ladies are afraid of her status and are too restrained in their behavior and speech. It's really boring.
It’s better to be like Xie Qingyao, who is neither humble nor arrogant and is generous. She doesn’t have to act like a princess.
Xie Qingyao said softly, "Yongle."
"Then you can call me Qingyao."
He Zheng lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Princess Yongle is really a refined person."
Princess Yongle's heart tightened, and she realized that Marquis Anguo thought she was in the way and disturbing the world of him and Xie Qingyao.
Then she leaves?
Xie Qingyao turned her head and said, "I want to go to the hot springs with Yongle. My Lord, you don't have much to do. Please go and get busy."
The air suddenly froze.
Princess Yongle's palms were slightly sweaty.
In fact, it is not necessary to soak in this hot spring.
After a moment, He Zheng's deep voice was heard, "Yaoyao, go play with Princess Yongle."
After He Zheng left, Princess Yongle suddenly felt extremely relaxed and let out a breath.
She asked Xie Qingyao: "Aren't you afraid of the Marquis of Anguo?"
"Marquis Anguo is even more stern than my father. I dare not speak loudly in front of him."
"The prince is also in awe of him."
Xie Qingyao looked lazy and said bluntly, "I'm his wife, not a prisoner. If I were afraid of him, I'd probably not be able to live like this."
This... seems to make some sense?
Xie Qingyao continued, "There are so many couples in this world who respect each other like guests. What's the big deal if we're missing?"
"It's better for couples to be closer."
"Besides, the Marquis is henpecked, so I have no reason to be afraid of him."
What? Henpecked? Marquis Anguo is henpecked?!
Princess Yongle was so surprised that she almost stumbled and fell on the spot.
Marquis Anguo is such a majestic and stern person, how could he be henpecked?
He wasn't even afraid of the emperor, and she thought there was no one in the world he was afraid of.
Now tell her that Marquis Anguo is actually afraid of his wife?
Princess Yongle opened her mouth.
Xie Qingyao said seriously, "Don't disbelieve me, the Marquis said it himself."
Princess Yongle: “…”
She, she really didn't know what to say.
This silence lasted until the two of them arrived at the hot spring pool.
Soaking in the warm spring water, the two of them lay on the smooth stone wall and chatted face to face.
Xie Qingyao took the opportunity to inquire about Concubine Wei's situation.
Princess Yongle said nonchalantly, "It is said that a lot of blood was lost, but the stab didn't hit a vital part, so he won't die."
She had no good feelings towards any of the concubines, and they used all sorts of tricks to please her father and win his favor.
He often went to his mother's place and asked her to make the decision, which made her very upset.
"The Emperor was very angry and ordered the imperial physician to do his utmost to treat the patient. He also punished the servants in the cold palace. But if you think about it, those people were quite innocent and were implicated by Li Qianluan."
"The Duke of Zhenguo repeatedly sent people to the palace to visit Concubine Wei, but Prince Kang stayed by her side, refusing to eat or drink, and never sleeping. He didn't fall ill until Concubine Wei was out of danger."
"Everyone outside praises Prince Kang as a filial son."
After hearing this, Xie Qingyao always felt weird.
Although it is natural for people to worry about their own mother, why does King Kang's actions give the impression that he is putting on a show for others to see?
Princess Yongle splashed water at Xie Qingyao and said, "Let's not talk about Concubine Wei anymore. It's boring."
"My father, the emperor, and my mother have been urging me to find a prince consort, saying they will grant me a marriage if I choose the one I like."
Xie Qingyao smiled and asked, "Do you have any favorites?"
Princess Yongle gave a stiff smile and said, "Even if I like it, the other party may not be happy with it."
This surprised Xie Qingyao a little.
As the legitimate daughter of the queen, she is not spoiled or willful. She does what she wants and also considers the other party's wishes.
Xie Qingyao: "Who is it?"
