Having said that, it is impossible to stay.

Song Qingxue insisted on returning to her own courtyard. Xiahou Chongyuan tried to keep her there but to no avail, so he let her go.

only--

Why would he follow Laichun back to the garden? !

Song Qingxue stood on the steps in front of the house with an expressionless face, staring at Xiahou Chong.

After a long while, she finally spoke: "My Lord, it's late at night, it's time to rest."

"Um."

Xiahou Chongyuan responded softly, then walked up the stairs and prepared to go into the house.

Song Qingxue quickly opened her arms to block the door, "Your Majesty! This is my room!"

"The princess's room belongs to me." Xiahou Chongyuan said this without blushing or beating his heart, and his tone was full of matter-of-factness.

"..." Bah! Have some shame!

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiahou Chongyuan said again: "Since the princess has agreed, then put down your hands and let me go in. It is indeed very late."

"No!" Song Qingxue looked up at him, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Xiahou Chongyuan lowered his eyes, "How can the princess say that to me? I thought the princess was so happy in the main courtyard just now because she was happy to see me. I came here just to let the princess see me more and be happy all the time."

"Haha, I'm not particularly happy."

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Xiahou Chongyuan's move was somewhat vengeful.

She carefully recalled the scene in the main courtyard just now -

It seems like you are feeling a bit gloating?

She suddenly understood and even felt a little regretful.

If I had known earlier, I would not have asked so many questions. Now look what I have done. Instead of gloating over someone else’s misfortune, I was outmaneuvered by someone else!

This Xiahou Chongyuan really has no moral principles.

Xiahou Chongyuan laughed secretly, and then said: "Princess, don't you feel happy to see me?"

"No, no, Your Majesty, how could you think that? I am very happy. I am really very happy."

"Since you are happy, Princess, please make way and go to bed with me."

“…”

I'm quite happy, but a little sad.

She originally thought that she was already a dramatic actress, but she didn't expect that Xiahou Chongyuan was even worse than her.

Song Qingxue suddenly recalled how the villain who shouldn't have cooperated with her in the performance blindly cooperated with her when she first came, and she suddenly burst into tears.

Xiahou Chongyuan glanced at the little man above her head who was being chased and drenched by dark clouds and drizzle. His face showed no emotion, but he felt extremely amused in his heart.

So he deliberately asked: "Princess, why are you still standing there? Aren't you sleepy?"

Song Qingxue bit her lip, looking depressed.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to be normal! I promise I will never gossip again, seriously!"

"Well, no gossip, just gloating."

"Ah, this!" She was right in her guess, it was because of this!

She swore that if she gloated in front of Xiahou Chongyuan again, she would be a dog!

Song Qingxue lowered her head, and said sincerely, "I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time and let me go!"

"I don't mind." Xiahou Chongyuan raised his hand and patted her head, then lowered his voice and said, "But I really have to sleep in the same room with the princess tonight."

"Why?!" She didn't understand, but was shocked.

Why do you have to sleep in the same room with her?

Could it be that Xiahou Chongyuan suddenly fell in love with her and wanted to monopolize her and control her?

No way!

How is this possible!

Song Qingxue's expression was full of rejection. She opened her mouth, but before she could say the word of rejection, she was frightened into silence by Xiahou Chongyuan's sudden body pressing down on her.

Xiahou Chongyuan was very close to her, his thin lips almost touching her ear, "There are people from the Emperor in the mansion tonight. If the princess shows too much resistance, it will arouse the Emperor's suspicion."

"How could it be?" Song Qingxue looked incredulous.

"Go inside and talk."

Having said this, Song Qingxue naturally had no reason to stop him any longer, so she had to move forward and let him in.

Song Qingxue walked in, closed the door, and immediately asked, "What do you mean by there are people from the emperor in the mansion?"

"The Emperor has taken great pains to help us maintain a good relationship as husband and wife."

Although he said this in a roundabout way, Song Qingxue could still hear the underlying meaning of his words.

Her expression suddenly became serious, and she walked closer and asked in a low voice, "Now that the emperor has become resentful of you, doesn't that mean Xiahou Chun has an opportunity to take advantage of you?"

“It’s not that easy.”

"But the royal family is indifferent to each other. If there is a real rift, it will probably be difficult to reconcile in the future."

"That's why the princess has to cooperate with me so that the emperor can rest assured."

"Oh." I see.

No wonder Xiahou Chongyuan acted so abnormally today, it turned out there was a reason.

"Then..." Song Qingxue hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll sleep on the floor tonight."

“No need.”

He just couldn't do something like asking women to sleep on the floor.

So, he slept on the floor tonight.

After everything was arranged, the two washed up and went to bed.

This was the first time Song Qingxue lived in the same room with a man.

Although one of them was in the air and the other was on the ground, Xiahou Chongyuan's presence was so strong that she couldn't ignore it at all.

To put it simply - she suffered from insomnia.

She lay in bed tossing and turning until the third watch gong struck, but she couldn't fall asleep.

When she turned over for the umpteenth time, Xiahou Chongyuan's voice came from under the bed, "You can't sleep?"

Song Qingxue was startled, "You haven't slept yet?"

"You start tossing and turning from the moment you lie down, and it's hard not to be affected."

"Sorry." Song Qingxue turned over, moved slightly to the edge of the bed, then lay down and looked at Xiahou Chongyuan who was lying properly.

It was snowing outside, there was no moon in the sky, and the night was very dark.

After blowing out the lights, you can hardly see anything.

She could only vaguely see Xiahou Chongyuan's outline.

"It's okay." Xiahou Chongyuan said, "Go to sleep."

"Oh." Song Qingxue didn't move and still lay there.

This time she did not turn over and over again, but just lay there quietly until her arms became numb, then she carefully turned over and lay down.

I don't know when I felt sleepy, but when Song Qingxue woke up, the mat under the bed had been folded away, and Xiahou Chongyuan was nowhere to be seen.

"Liu Huan, what time is it?" She sat up and stretched, but was soon defeated by the cold and quickly shrank back into the quilt.

Liu Huan came in from the outer room carrying a charcoal basin and replied softly, "Madam, it will be noon in a quarter of an hour."

It’s so late.

Song Qingxue asked again: "Where is the prince?"

"He went to the morning court early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."

That’s right, today is not a day off, so he has to go to court.

It's because I slept too late last night and my mind is confused.

Song Qingxue stayed in bed for a long time, and only got out of bed at dinner time.

"It's so cold." When Song Qingxue walked out the door, she felt the cold wind like a knife, blowing on her face and making it hurt.

"Why is it still snowing?"

Song Qingxue was a little reluctant to go down the stairs. It snowed all night last night and the snow in the yard was higher than her instep.

She didn't like walking on the snow at all. Not only did it leave soft and cottony footprints, but it also made her feet cold.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Liu Huan, ask someone to go to the dining room and let them know, and ask them to deliver the food directly."

"yes."

"By the way, where is Pin'er?" She had been standing here for such a long time, but she didn't see Zhu Pin'er. This was the first time since she returned to Beijing.

"Pin'er went to find Guard Lin."

"oh?"

Song Qingxue suddenly became interested. Zhu Pin'er had been staying by her side these days, and Lin Xian only came once in a long time. She almost thought that there was no hope for these two.

"Why did she suddenly think of looking for Lin Xian?"

Liu Huan said, "Pin'er bought some cloth to make clothes for Guard Lin a few days ago. It was finished last night, and she sent it over right away this morning when she got up."

"How come I didn't know about this?" Which process did she overlook? How come Pin'er had already made the clothes for Lin Xian, but she didn't know anything about it? ?

"Pin'er was afraid you would laugh at her, so she didn't say anything."

"Tsk" Girls' thoughts are always poetic, she can't laugh at them.

After thinking about it, she waved her hand and told Liu Huan to go about her business.

After a simple lunch, Song Qingxue had nothing to do, so she went to the study and found a pile of medical books to read.

Although I don’t have to deal with patients every day now, I can’t slack off.

After all, there is a huge difference between ancient medicine and modern medicine. Modern doctors basically do not know how to use both Chinese and Western medicine. There are very few doctors like her and her teacher who are proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine.

However, the areas she is involved in are mostly modern medicine, and she only has a relatively good understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, but has not fully mastered it.

Now that she is in this world, she needs to consolidate her Chinese medicine skills.
