She gently patted Yu Nanqing's back: "Don't overthink it, it won't come to that. Go to sleep."
I'm really... sleepy.
Perhaps it was because of Yu Nanqing's 'torture' that Su Wanyan, who doesn't usually dream much, had a bad dream that night.
In her dream, for reasons unknown, she and Yu Nanqing held hands and jumped off a cliff together, committing suicide for love.
Startled, Su Wanyan sat up abruptly.
Looking up, the sky was still gray and not yet bright.
"Yan'er?" Yu Nanqing was awakened by Su Wanyan's movements and asked suspiciously.
Su Wanyan rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit dizzy.
"uncomfortable?"
Su Wanyan pushed Yu Nanqing down, placed her hands on his chest, and looked at him with resentment and dissatisfaction: "It's all your fault! What were you doing last night! You made me have some strange dreams."
Yu Nanqing's gaze involuntarily fell on Su Wanyan, and he felt a strange heat rising in his throat. He restrained himself and turned his face away, changing the subject: "Yan'er, this is the first time I've heard of a dream..."
"Heh, you know it's your first time." Su Wanyan released his chest speechlessly, rubbing her temples as she slumped onto the bed.
The thin undergarment against the gray night sky outlined Su Wanyan's figure in a way that was both visible and hidden. Yu Nanqing kept looking away, not daring to look at her openly.
Su Wanyan lay down on the bed: "It's not dawn yet, let's continue sleeping."
Yu Nanqing lifted the blanket and gently covered her with it.
His large hand encircled her slender waist from behind, gently caressing her small hand, his movements careful and cautious, not daring to be presumptuous again.
When I woke up again, the sun was shining brightly.
Su Wanyan slept in late, which was rare for her.
She shifted her body and realized that Yu Nanqing had been hugging her from behind the whole time.
With this movement, Yu Nanqing also woke up.
"Yan'er is awake?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched Su Wanyan's forehead.
Su Wanyan didn't stop him: "Aren't you busy today?"
These days, every time she wakes up, Yu Nanqing is already up early. It's quite unusual for him to sleep with her for so long like today.
"I apologize." Yu Nanqing uttered two words with a smile, took Su Wanyan's hand and kissed it, then asked with a smile, "Get up?"
Su Wanyan stretched and said, "I'll lie down for a while longer."
Yu Nanqing's lips curled up even more as she lifted the covers and got out of bed.
Su Wanyan asked curiously, "Are you going to get busy?"
"I said I would apologize today." As he spoke, Yu Nanqing had already put on his brocade robe.
He came to the bedside, leaned down, and gently stroked Su Wanyan's face: "I'll let Qiuye in in a moment. Now I'll go to the small kitchen to make you breakfast."
"Isn't it going to take a long time to start making breakfast now?"
"No problem." After Su Wanyan fell asleep last night, he specially went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients, and it will be ready soon.
He gently tapped Su Wanyan's nose and left the room in a good mood.
Su Wanyan looked at the top of the canopy, her eyes darting left and right. After some hesitation, she closed her eyes and said, "I'll just close my eyes a little longer."
Yu Nanqing's apology was to stay in the mansion with Su Wanyan all day, accompany her to the small pharmacy after breakfast to help her, cook lunch for her at noon, and then accompany her to stroll in the back garden in the afternoon.
The secret passage in the library that we mentioned last time, Su Wanyan took the opportunity to show it to Yu Nanqing, but if they want to go in and explore it, they still need to find a suitable time.
As the sun set, Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan went to the Moon-Viewing Terrace to watch the sunset.
After a long day, both of them seemed to have nothing to do. Su Wanyan chatted with Yu Nanqing about many trivial and ordinary things.
Normally, if Su Wanyan mentions seeing an ant nest, they can chat about it for quite a while.
April is over, then May arrives, and the annual Dragon Boat Festival is here again.
Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing had made plans long ago to watch the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival.
As for the location, they probably don't need to worry about it; the various departments in Fucheng will arrange it for them.
However, before this year's Dragon Boat Festival, Yu Nanqing seemed to be much busier than last year, and the number of times he went to the military camp was visibly more frequent.
Su Wanyan remained the same as always, eating and drinking as usual, and researching medicine as usual, without neglecting anything.
Fucheng, the government office.
Yu Nanqing sat in the prefect's seat, reviewing the various documents they handed over.
The largest component was the program arrangement and schedule for this year's Dragon Boat Festival.
The celebratory programs for the Dragon Boat Festival were all selected by officials, and Yu Nanqing was only given a symbolic approval.
Last year, they would submit these memorials to Prince Gong's Mansion, but this year, due to various matters, Yu Nanqing did not want to disturb Su Wanyan's peace and quiet, so he tried to handle things outside these days.
There wasn't much to do. Yu Nanqing finished reviewing the last memorial and was about to get up and leave when the prefect called out to him, "Your Highness."
Yu Nanqing looked up and saw the prefect take a memorial from a clerk: "There's...there's one more."
He was a little breathless when he spoke.
Yu Nanqing remained expressionless and did not immediately accept the memorial. Instead, he glanced at the group of officials standing in the hall.
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, so we need to finish all the final approvals today. Almost all the officials in Fucheng are here now.
When the prefect handed over this final memorial, everyone lowered their heads, and for a moment, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a mosquito.
Seeing that Yu Nanqing did not make a move, the prefect felt uneasy. He cautiously raised his eyes, but quickly lowered them after meeting Yu Nanqing's indifferent expression, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Finally, the prefect bowed and asked, "Your Highness?"
This sound seemed to pull Yu Nanqing back to reality, and he gestured to Tanaka.
Tanaka then stepped forward, took the memorial, and handed it to Yu Nanqing.
Judging from their expressions, Yu Nanqing had already guessed about 80-90% of what was in the memorial. He opened it and, sure enough, it was true.
The above text describes the marriage arrangement between the Bai family and the Prince Gong's family.
Because rumors were rampant in the city, and neither the Bai family nor the Prince Gong's mansion had clarified the matter, all the people believed that Bai Jiaojiao was going to marry into the Prince Gong's mansion.
This memorial blatantly recorded the date of the marriage alliance between Prince Gong's Mansion and the Bai Mansion.
Yu Nanqing looked at the memorial without saying a word, and everyone in the hall lowered their heads even further.
Their actions were actually a test to see what Yu Nanqing's attitude was.
Because the Lu family had already inquired about the situation for them, and according to the Lu family's daughter, Princess Gong did not object to Yu Nanqing taking a concubine. Since Yu Nanqing did not come forward to clarify the rumors even after they had spread to this extent, does that mean that the development of the situation is what Yu Nanqing wants to see?
But as long as he thought about it, there was nothing that could be done since Yu Nanqing never expressed his opinion.
