Chapter 161 Why don’t you sleep a little longer?
Chunzhi paused and nestled in Huo Zheng in silence.
It was quiet in the dead of night, and in the tent, only the sound of each other's breathing was particularly clear.
Huo Zheng held her in his arms and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Go to sleep."
Chunzhi hummed softly, hugged him and fell asleep quickly.
The next day, Xiaoxing woke up before dawn, but Chunzhi was still too sleepy to open his eyes. Huo Zheng got up and changed his diaper, then handed the child to the wet nurse so that Chunzhi could sleep a little longer.
When Huo Zheng was changing his clothes, Chunzhi rubbed his eyes and stood up to help him tie his belt.
It was still gray outside the window, with only a few lights on.
Huo Zheng let her move and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Prince Chang'an had to go to court, so he got up before dawn. Usually, he would change his clothes and wash up quietly, and go out quietly. He also instructed the maids and servants not to disturb the princess's rest.
Today, when Xiaoxing woke up, he woke Chunzhi up as well.
"It was fine before that I didn't know when you left, but today I saw it all. How can I continue sleeping?"
Chunzhi tied his belt, asked him to sit in front of the mirror, and tied his hair.
Huo Zheng said, "This is your own house. You can sleep as long as you want. No one dares to say anything wrong about you."
"No one in the mansion dared to say anything." Chunzhi combed his hair and said softly, "If this happens too often, it won't be good if it gets to the Queen Mother's ears."
Huo Zheng wanted to say something else.
Chunzhi continued, "Besides, Wan'er had an accident yesterday. I was worried about her and kept thinking about going to the Song residence to check on her..."
Huo Zheng raised his eyes and looked at her, "So you didn't get up early today for me."
Chunzhi heard the sour taste in his words and couldn't help laughing, "Who is dressing you and tying your hair now?"
Huo Zheng said: "Of course she is my princess."
Chunzhi was very skillful and quickly tied up Huo Zheng's black hair and put on the purple gold crown.
Huo Zheng was born extremely handsome. Wearing a golden crown and a dragon robe, he looked even more noble and handsome.
Even Chunzhi, who was facing him every day, couldn't take her eyes off him when she saw him like this.
She raised her hand to smooth Huo Zheng's clothes and said softly, "Okay."
Huo Zheng held her hand and kissed her fingertips, "Thank you for your hard work, Princess."
Chunzhi felt a tingling sensation at her fingertips and smiled as she pulled her hand back. "What's so hard about this? You should go to court. Hurry up and get out before you're late."
As she said this, she walked Huo Zheng out. As soon as they walked out of a door, Huo Zheng asked her to stop.
Chunzhi stood at the door and watched him stride away. The lantern in the servant's hand was shaking, stretching his tall figure very long.
As the morning light gradually brightened, the scene of the entire yard became clear.
Qingye brought the maids to help Haruzhi wash and change clothes.
While changing clothes, Qingye whispered to Chunzhi, "The princess is going back to the mansion to see Miss Wan'er today. Can you take me with you?"
Qingye came from the Song family after all, and he was also very concerned about Song Wan'er.
Chunzhi said, "That's exactly what I meant."
When Qingye heard this, he quickly said, "Thank you, Princess."
After Chunzhi washed and changed her clothes, she went to the side room to see Xiaoxing. The child woke up and fell asleep soon after. The wet nurse was doing needlework in front of the bed while watching the little boy.
"Princess." When the wet nurse saw Chunzhi coming in, she immediately put her needlework aside and stood up to greet her.
Chunzhi put her index finger to her lips and made a "hush" sound, signaling the wet nurse not to make any noise and wake the child.
She walked to the bed and sat for a while. Seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, she raised her hand to signal the wet nurse to go out with her and gave the wet nurse some instructions to take good care of the child.
The wet nurse nodded in agreement.
Chunzhi took Qingye and a few maids to the Song residence. As they were leaving, they ran into Yuzhu. She said to Yuzhu, "I'm going to the Song residence to see Wan'er. Do you want to come with me?"
Yuzhu wanted to go, but she was worried about Nian'er, "But the young master and Nian'er..."
Chunzhi said, "Xinghui and Nian'er have their own wet nurses to take care of them, so we can just come back early."
"Okay." Yuzhu nodded in response.
Since coming to the Chang'an Palace, her life has become much better. She feels more at ease leaving Nian'er in the care of the wet nurses rather than leaving her to Ji's mother.
Chunzhi took Yuzhu, Qingye and others on board the carriage of the Chang'an Palace. Even if the princess was traveling in a low-key manner, she would still bring several guards and maids with her.
When we arrived at Song's house, it was already bright.
When the doorman saw that it was Chunzhi who came, he asked someone to report to the young master and quickly welcomed her in.
Song Anlan quickly brought people out to meet them.
"Brother." Chunzhi called him, "How is Wan'er?"
Song Anlan said gently, "Wan'er is fine, she was just a little frightened."
"I'll go see her."
Chunzhi said this and was about to walk towards Song Wan'er's yard.
"Chunzhi." Song Anlan called her hurriedly, "Wan'er is not in her own courtyard."
"Then where is she?" Chunzhi asked in surprise.
Song Wan'er is at the Song residence, not in her own yard. Where did she go?
"In the west wing." Song Anlan's expression was a little subtle. "Yesterday, a knight rescued Wan'er from a group of villains. He was seriously injured and has been unconscious ever since. Wan'er has been guarding him in the wing."
Chunzhi asked, "Is the knight seriously injured? What did the doctor say?"
Song Anlan said: "The doctor said that the external injuries look scary, but they are not fatal. I just don't know why he has been unconscious."
As they talked, they went to the west wing together.
The weather is very good today, with light golden sunlight shining across the courtyard. The entire west wing is covered with lush trees and leaves, and bamboo shadows are reflected on the wall.
When Chunzhi and Song Anlan passed by the window, they saw Song Wan'er sitting on a small brocade stool beside the couch, trying to feed water to the unconscious person on the couch.
"Wan'er." Song Anlan called her and said as he stepped inside, "Let the maids handle this kind of thing. You're not good at serving people, so don't offend your benefactor."
When Song Wan'er heard this, she was about to say something, but when she turned around, she saw Chunzhi, Yuzhu and the others. She immediately put down the teacup in her hand and threw herself into Chunzhi's arms, "Sister!"
Chunzhi raised her hand and touched the back of Song Wan'er's head. "I'm glad you're safe. I was terrified when I heard you were kidnapped yesterday."
"Those villains suddenly appeared, and I was almost scared to death." Song Wan'er hugged Chunzhi and whispered, "Thank goodness my sister sent the palace guards and servants to rescue me."
When Song Anlan brought his sister back yesterday, he told her all these things.
Chunzhi said, "You and I are family, there's no need to say thank you or not."
"Sister is my real sister." Song Wan'er hugged Chunzhi for a long time before letting her go.
Chunzhi looked at the unconscious man on the couch. He was about twenty years old, and his handsome appearance could not be concealed even with the scars on his face. She asked Song Wan'er, "Was he the one who saved you yesterday?"
