At night, Xiao Linting broke in and coaxed Jiang Qingqing to sleep with a mixture of coaxing and half-threatening. The next day, the two of them had breakfast together as if nothing had happened.

After that, Xiao Linting began to process the information sent to him. Jiang Qingqing stood obediently in front of the desk, holding a pen in her hand, writing a self-criticism seriously.

There are only Jiang Qingqing and Xiao Linting in the princess's mansion.

He sat on the edge of the bed and read the information in his hand. Occasionally, to relax, he looked up and always found that petite figure in his sight. She became an irreplaceable part of his sight.

In just one day, Xiao Linting developed the habit of looking up and relaxing from time to time. After reading a certain amount of information, he would always look up and subconsciously find Jiang Qingqing. After making sure she was still by his side, he would continue to read the information with a happy mood.

Gan Yuan and Gan Lin were serving the two in the house at first. As the atmosphere in the house gradually calmed down, the two of them quietly walked out of the house.

Gan Yuan walked contentedly with Gan Lin to the outer porch and whispered, "Your Highness and the Prince are getting along more and more like an old married couple. I would have thought this was their married life. It's so pleasing to the eyes!!"

Led by Gan Yuan's help, Gan Lin gradually felt that His Highness and the Prince were a perfect match.

The two maids chatted to each other, and soon it gradually darkened.

Jiang Qingqing had almost finished washing up, and it was almost dark outside.

Gan Yuan asked casually, "Your Highness, are you going to bed now?"

Jiang Qingqing subconsciously turned her head to look out the window and saw the window of the next room. She saw that the candlelight on the opposite window was bright.

She pursed her lips, pulled Gan Yuan, and whispered, "Light up a few more lights around."

After saying that, she sat down on the bed, picked up a book and pretended to read.

The lights in the main house became brighter at night. Xiao Linting was originally calculating the time, and was restrainedly thinking that if the lights in the main house dimmed after half an hour, he would not have to go to the main house anymore.

After holding on to the mentality for half an hour, Xiao Linting reluctantly collected his thoughts and continued to process the information in front of him.

Once this information was processed, the tricky parts took a lot of time, and before I knew it, an hour had passed.

He looked up at the main house and found that the candlestick there was still lit. He immediately put down the information in his hand, stood up and walked towards the main house.

As soon as he stepped into the room, the first thing he saw was Luohan **. The little girl had her elbows on the small table, her head supported by her wrists, and the other hand was still half-clenched with a book in her hand, and she was nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Looking at her so honest and cute, Xiao Linting couldn't help but let a doting smile appear in his deep phoenix eyes, and his thin lips curled up slightly.

He walked quietly to the Arhat bed and the first thing he did was to look at the book in Jiang Qingqing's hand.

It was a book about military strategies that he had brought from the main house during the day. Who would have thought that this little guy actually read a few pages of it seriously.

This was something he had not expected.

Xiao Linting put his armpits under Jiang Qingqing's armpits, put his other hand over her knees, and then gently lifted her up from the Arhat's chest in a princess hug.

The book in Xuxu's hand fell to the ground with a slight sound.

Jiang Qingqing actually felt someone coming in, but she was taking a deep nap and was unwilling to open her eyes.

Until the familiar fragrance entered her nostrils, Jiang Qingqing felt more relaxed and nestled in Xiao Linting's arms without any vigilance.

She also put her arms around his neck, found a comfortable position and nodded her head.

The petite girl in Xiao Linting's arms was so adorable as she was sleeping soundly. Coupled with her unguarded look, Xiao Linting felt helpless and indescribably happy at the same time.

He carried her behind the screen. Tonight he was not as rough as last night. Instead, he placed her on the bed carefully. However, the girl's hands never let go. Xiao Linting had no choice but to half bend over, still hugged by Jiang Qingqing, who pulled the quilt to cover her with both hands.

After the quilt covered her body, Jiang Qingqing loosened her hands around Xiao Linting's neck by pulling the quilt to turn over.

At this moment, Xiao Linting felt his neck was empty, and he looked at the little girl's white hands again.

I couldn't help but want to hold this little hand and never let go.

But he knew in his heart that it was not the right time for him now.

Xiao Linting was just about to get up and leave, but the little girl turned over again and stretched out her little hand.

The moment he saw her slender hand stretched out, he somehow reached out his hand to meet her hand that was about to grab something.

Although Jiang Qingqing was taking a deep nap, her senses were still sharp. She felt that Xiao Linting was about to leave, so she turned over and prepared to grab the quilt to sleep. But when she grabbed it, she found that what she grabbed was not soft and smooth fabric.

It was a big hand with a little callouses, but it felt very safe to touch.

She screamed "Oh no" with her remaining consciousness, but the bewitching fragrance at her nose made her unable to resist greedily yearning for this large palm.

In a daze, Jiang Qingqing just held Xiao Linting's hand and fell into a deep sleep.

For some unknown reason, someone brought his hand closer to his, an action that Xiao Linting himself didn't even react to.

He pursed his thin lips, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Even so, Jiang Qingqing still held his hand.

He wondered, if she held his hand all night and they met the next morning, could he use this as an excuse to explain why he didn't leave all night.

Actually…

Jiang Qingqing held his hand for more than an hour, and both of their palms were slightly sweaty.

Perhaps Jiang Qingqing felt uncomfortable with the touch of the handshake in her sleep, so she quickly shook off Xiao Linting's hand, kicked the quilt, turned over, and fell asleep again under the quilt.

It was the first time that Xiao Linting realized that Jiang Qingqing couldn't sleep well even in the middle of the night.

He reluctantly covered her with the quilt, his hands feeling a little empty. He took a deep breath, then turned around and extinguished all the candles in the room, then left the main house in the night light.

Jiang Qingqing unexpectedly did not have any dreams that night and slept until dawn.

She woke up lazily from the bed and stretched. Gan Yuan and Gan Lin, who heard the noise outside, hurried in.

"Your Highness woke up quite early today, so we servants don't have to worry about disturbing His Highness."

Jiang Qingqing was a little dazed in her sleep, and she was confused when she heard this.

Gan Yuan kindly reminded: "Your Highness, today is your birthday banquet, we should go to the palace."
