When she groggily woke up again, an arm was wrapped around her waist, and her whole body slowly moved backward, pressing against a hot chest. Yue Jiang didn't need to look to know it was Jing Yan.
For some reason, he's being unusually clingy tonight and even telling jokes.
Yue Jiang suspected that Jing Yan might be feeling unwell, so she reminded him, "Your Highness, this won't do."
"I'm just giving you a hug, Jiang'er, don't overthink it," Jing Yan, who had just taken a bath, smelled fresh and clean, and his voice was no longer hoarse. All Yue Jiang could feel was warmth and comfort.
Yue Jiang was ashamed of her earlier thoughts, but Jing Yan said she was just overthinking things.
No, it's infuriating that Jing Yan is holding her so she doesn't overthink things.
Yue Jiang angrily scratched his chest, and Jing Yan subconsciously grabbed Yue Jiang, pretending to warn her: "Jiang'er, just because I haven't thought about it doesn't mean I won't. If you cause trouble, we'll deal with it the same way we did when you had your period last time."
"I won't pity your hands."
"I'm going to sleep, Your Highness, please rest," Yue Jiang hurriedly withdrew her hand, closed her eyes, and remained silent.

Before long, the day arrived for the arrival of the various nations. Jing Huaixu first received them in the court and then held a banquet in the Delin Hall.
The envoys from the five kingdoms of An, Yu, Chen, Qi, and Yue sat in the lower-level guest seats of the Delin Hall.
They congratulated Jing Huaixu one by one, offering words of flattery and humility.
Taking advantage of this free time, Yue Jiang saw that the envoy from the Yue Kingdom was Yue Lang again, and gave him an annoyed look.
Yuelang, being from Yuejiang's family, inquired about Yuejiang's recent situation as soon as she arrived, and was surprised to learn that she had become pregnant so quickly.
Thinking back to the last time Shang Yu took his pulse and diagnosed that he would have difficulty conceiving, he went back and promoted the beauties kept by the state for several months, but did not make them drink contraceptive soup, yet none of them had good news.
Seeing Yue Jiang made him feel even more regretful.
Soon, the envoys from various countries had finished their polite exchanges, and the envoy from Anguo announced that he had a gift from his crown prince to present to Jingyan and Yuejiang.
A man in his thirties or forties, with a solemn expression, walked straight toward Yue Jiang and Jing Yan, carrying a box in his hand.
Upon reaching them, he opened the box and displayed it to Yue Jiang and Jing Yan, waiting for them to take a look.
Yue Jiang and Jing Yan glanced inside and saw a long, rectangular document with the words "marriage certificate" on the cover.
Yue Jiang looked up and instantly remembered that she seemed to have signed a marriage certificate with An Chenghuan, and afterwards, Yue and An each held a copy.
She secretly glanced at Yue Lang and noticed that he was staring at her nervously.
Yue Jiang was in a state of confusion. Looking back at the Anguo envoy in front of her, she saw his serious expression. Would An Chenghuan really send a minister who was willing to risk his life to deliberately humiliate her and Jing Yan with the marriage certificate in the presence of all the countries?
Thinking of Chu Lu, who had ambushed and killed her last time, she realized that the man was somewhat insane.
Yue Jiang turned her head and looked at Jing Yan with concern.
