84 Chapter 84
◎As soon as she turned over, someone blocked her lips.◎
Today's dinner was just as the princess wished, with several plates of dumplings with different fillings and a few side dishes.
The dumpling was wrapped very delicately and was so small that even someone with a cherry-sized mouth like Xu Qinghe could eat one in one bite. The skin was thin and the filling was thick. As soon as you bit into it, the rich aroma of meat filled the tip of your tongue.
Dip it in the spicy and sour vinegar and it is really delicious. It can both whet your appetite and fill your stomach.
Xu Qinghe's appetite increased rarely, and he ended up eating two full small bowls.
Wei Che originally wanted to make a big fuss about her previous mockery of him being jealous, but seeing how the girl was enjoying her meal, he gave up the idea and just supported his chin and watched her quietly.
Xu Qinghe was having someone scoop a bowl of noodle soup and pour it into the sweet and sour sauce, stirring it with a spoon to make a bowl of sour and spicy soup.
Just as I was about to drink, I found that this person was staring at me with burning eyes, which made me feel uncomfortable.
"Why are you always looking at me instead of eating properly?"
Wei Che propped up his chin, his slender white knuckles half covering his face. He raised the corners of his mouth, and a smile could not be hidden in his eyes: "With a beauty beside me, I am satisfied with just looking at her. Why do I need to eat?"
Xu Qinghe glanced at him and ignored his smooth talk. Whether he wanted to eat it or not, she just changed direction and continued to drink the soup.
The end result was that she was so exhausted that she had to walk around the yard fanning herself.
The wisteria flowers on the shelf have long since faded, but the dense green leaves are still flourishing. When the breeze blows, bursts of plant fragrance and the rustling sound of green leaves colliding are heard.
Xu Qinghe walked under the flower stand, fanning herself, looked up at the green leaves, and then walked along the flower stand out of the moon-shaped gate.
It must be said that the Duke and Duchess of Fuguo really loved their son very much. Fenghe Courtyard was quite large, a small house with three entrances. So even though she did not go to the front yard where Wei Che and Fu Zongying held meetings, she had already digested most of the food by just walking back and forth a few times in the back.
By the time she walked back to the dormitory yard, the rosy glow in the sky had been completely swallowed up by the night, and the whole world seemed to have darkened.
In this quiet night, the chirping of insects in the grass is more clearly audible. The night wind blows over, not only bringing a little coolness, but also bringing bursts of rustling sounds of grass and trees.
The dim lanterns under the corridor were swaying left and right in the wind, and the candlelight was dim, making the gold threads on Wei Che's scarlet brocade robe flash with tiny lights.
He leaned against the porch with his arms folded, a smile on his lips, and just stared at her intently.
Almost wherever she went, his eyes were fixed on her, and she couldn't get rid of them.
Xu Qinghe covered half of his face with a round fan and asked him, "Why are you staring at me here all the time instead of taking the portrait I drew and looking for someone?"
Wei Che stood up, straightened his wrinkled sleeves, and walked towards her with a smile on his face.
"Our princess is really too popular, with the young General Xie and the eldest son of Wei. I'm afraid if I can't keep an eye on her, she'll abandon me and go with someone else. So, of course, I have to keep a close eye on her."
Xu Qinghe glared at him.
This guy started talking nonsense again.
In fact, as soon as Wei Che said this, he also felt that it was inappropriate. Why should Wei Ming be called the eldest son of Wei, and he was the young general Xie?
What a "little" general, it really undermines the dignity of a man!
He was still thinking this, but he didn't stop for a moment, walking towards Xu Qinghe slowly and leisurely.
"It's hot in the summer, stay away from me." Xu Qinghe placed the round fan against his chest and stepped back step by step.
She took a step back, and Wei Che wanted to take two steps forward. Finally, he grabbed her slender white wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Xu Qinghe's nose was hit by his hard chest, and he saw stars for a moment.
Before she could react, her body suddenly felt lighter and she was picked up by him again.
"What are you doing Wei Che!"
"What?" His chest vibrated slightly, and he was laughing again.
"To continue what we left unfinished during the day, of course."
During the day... things that are not done...
Xu Qinghe swallowed subconsciously, and couldn't help but think of the kissing, groping, and the wet touch of lips and tongue in the stuffy studio.
——Plop, plop, plop.
She huddled tightly in his arms, but her heartbeat suddenly became extremely rapid, as if there were countless deer hiding in her chest, now scrambling to rush out.
The moment she was put into the soft bed, she suddenly grabbed Wei Che's arm and said, "Bathe, I haven't bathed yet. Call Nanzhi in. I want to bathe."
Wei Che was unbuttoning his robe one by one. Her excuse was quite reasonable, so he smiled and said, "Why bother with her? I'll just help the princess bathe."
As he spoke, he casually hung his outer robe on the rack beside him, wearing only his ivory-white undergarment, and leaned over to hug Xu Qinghe.
Xu Qinghe thought he was serious and quickly pushed him away: "I don't want you, I only want Nanzhi."
She raised her voice towards the door and called Nanzhi in.
Because the prince was in the inner room, he never liked maids to get close to him, so Nanzhi couldn't go directly to the princess. She just stood at the door of the inner room obediently, and waited for the princess to come out with a blushing face. Then she helped the princess take a bath.
Although Nanzhi is a few years older than Xu Qinghe, she knows less about matters between men and women than Xu Qinghe.
Until today, when she was bathing, she saw red spots on the princess's white jade-like body, especially around her waist and thighs, which were covered with red finger marks and were simply unbearable to look at.
Only then did she realize that the things that men and women do between them would leave marks all over a girl's body, and that the princess and the prince were not simply painting in the studio today.
No wonder the princess' lips were so red and swollen when she entered the studio today.
However, even with Nanzhi, with whom he grew up, Xu Qinghe really didn't want to talk about these intimate matters between men and women.
Fearing she might ask something out of curiosity, she took the initiative to steer the conversation elsewhere: "Has there been any news from Lin Xiaoke in the past few days?"
After seeing the portrait of the little beggar, Mr. Jiang had come to see her a few times, but now that she wanted to build her own business, she naturally wanted more money.
Nanzhi lifted up the loose hair on the back of the princess's head and was about to pour water on the back of her neck, but found a few finger marks there as well.
Her face flushed slightly, and she whispered back, "No, that girl has been very busy these past few days, looking for a shop and negotiating prices. She hasn't sent us any news in a few days."
Xu Qinghe nodded slightly, and the hot water slid across her shoulders and neck, eliminating the fatigue she had from painting in the afternoon.
She couldn't help but squint her eyes in comfort, her voice becoming a bit lazy. "Since she's good at this, let's hand it over to her. In the future, the restaurant will be directly registered under her name, and she will be in charge of it."
Nanzhi couldn't help but pause. "I know the princess is worried that others will notice what we're doing. Lin Xiao doesn't often appear in public, so it's easier for us to do things. But directly registering the restaurant under her name... isn't that too risky?"
Xu Qinghe also knew that Lin Xiao was not as good as Nanzhi, and was not someone she knew well, but ever since she came to her, she had always done her best, so she still trusted her to some extent.
"I've already taken risks like marrying Wei Che, so why would I be afraid of this? At most, she'll take the money and run away, and you and I will just make a comeback."
Anyway, all this money was earned by the princess. As long as the princess is around, they will have no worries about their future.
Nanzhi nodded in response and stopped questioning.
Xu Qinghe had already washed her hair during the day, so she didn't wash it again at night. However, she took her time and finally got out of the bathroom after half an hour.
She walked lightly with her black hair loose, and saw Wei Che staring at the painting of the southern landscape on the wall.
He always had a smile on his face, but at this moment he pursed his lips tightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Xu Qinghe was about to ask when he saw him turn his head towards her, and in the blink of an eye, a faint smile appeared on his face.
The speed was so fast that it seemed as if the person with a gloomy face just now was just her imagination.
"I thought the princess was scared and was planning to stay in the bathroom all night and not come out."
Still with that teasing tone.
"If that's the case, then you're getting a free deal, enjoying such a nice big bed all to yourself." Xu Qinghe never loses in words.
She walked to the dressing mirror, applied some moisturizing facial cream on her face, and took out a horn comb to comb her hair.
After finishing all this, I turned around and found Wei Che coming out while wiping his hair.
How can he be so fast?
She silently turned her head away and pretended to go to bed, not realizing that she felt inexplicably nervous.
But Wei Che grabbed her and said, "Hey, I've braided your hair so many times. Can you braid mine today too?"
Xu Qinghe struggled slightly, but didn't look him in the eye: "I'm going to sleep, let Nanzhi do it for you."
Wei Che said, "I don't want her, I only want you."
Xu Qinghe had no choice but to take the towel he handed to her.
So Wei Che sat in front of her dressing mirror and let her braid his hair.
In the exquisite and clear peep mirror, the man has a handsome face, but his pair of affectionate eyes only look at the girl behind him through the mirror.
Her movements were extremely gentle, as if she was afraid of hurting him. She only lifted a strand of hair and wiped it slowly.
Wei Che knew that this was not her real purpose.
Seeing the girl's serious expression, he couldn't help but laugh: "Princess, do you want to rub your hair until dawn?"
Xu Qinghe coughed guiltily and found a suitable excuse: "If you don't wipe it thoroughly, you will get sick tomorrow. It's okay if you get sick yourself, but don't infect me."
But the fact is, she is stalling for time.
Every time he brushed her hair, she would always feel so comfortable that she would fall asleep, so she hoped that Wei Che would be the same. It would be best if he could be so sleepy that he would fall asleep on the bed, so that he would not be able to think of anything else.
But unexpectedly, Wei Che was in high spirits, and he kept looking at her with a smile until his hair was no longer damp.
"Can we go to bed now?" He smiled as he looked at the girl in the mirror who seemed to have a tragic look on her face.
Xu Qinghe threw the towel to him, sighed helplessly in his heart, and had to climb onto the bed first.
Wei Che put the towel away, then walked to the bedside and saw that she still had two quilts placed there.
The girl was smart. She wrapped herself in a quilt and huddled inside, sleeping almost against the wall.
He raised his eyebrows and simply put away the other quilt. Then he got back on the bed and held the girl and the quilt in his arms.
The action was so fast that Xu Qinghe had no time to react.
"What are you doing—"
She had just turned over when someone blocked her lips.
Before her body softened from being kissed, Xu Qinghe wondered why Wei Che always had such a bad habit of kissing her without waiting for her to finish her words.
How rude!
