As for whether this beauty was his wife, Nan Chu didn't need to use his brain as the leader of the Yehe tribe to know that the only unfamiliar woman who appeared in the East Courtyard and was wearing an expensive Manchu dress must be the wife bestowed upon him by the Great Khan.
Nan Chu's mind was in a state of confusion and blankness. He vaguely thought that the Khan was actually willing to give him such a beautiful woman to be his wife. He really valued him too much. How honored he was!
Nan Chu stared blankly at Qing Yin, who was lying in the courtyard, sleeping with her eyes closed in the sun.
He stood frozen in place, as if he had been born with wood, not daring to disturb the sleeping beauty in the distance.
While waiting for Maya to come out and cover her wife, who was sleeping in the sun in the yard, with a thin blanket, they saw the chieftain dressed as a wooden figure at the gate.
Maya: "..."
Maya was about to bow to Nan Chu when Nan Chu interrupted her, gesturing to his mouth with his hand to signal her to be quiet so as not to wake the Princess Consort.
Nan Chu walked over quietly, whispered a reminder to Maya to step back, and took the blanket from Maya's hand.
Maya: "..."
Maya: Although, even if he is the chief, he can't take away her job of taking care of the princess, waaaah, it's a pity she can't resist the chief.
Maya left this place, looking back every step of the way.
In the courtyard, only Qingyin, who was lying on the chaise longue, and Nan Chu, who was sitting on a small stool next to the chaise longue, remained.
This small stool was originally intended for Maya to serve Qingyin, but now it's a boon for Nan Chu, who can quietly admire (obsessively) his own wife's beauty.
The man's tall frame, even when seated, still resembled a large tree, blocking half of Qingyin's face from the sunlight.
Qingyin seemed to sense this unusually intense gaze in her sleep, and her delicate, thick eyelashes trembled involuntarily.
Nan Chu kept staring, and a sudden panic made him subconsciously look away. Then the sunlight returned to his wife's face, which looked like a goddess. The delicate beauty quieted down again and soon fell asleep.
Nan Chu looked at his wife's appearance and wanted to laugh, thinking, "So delicate, she's uncomfortable even when the sunlight is blocked."
That's what he was thinking, but he actually moved to a more respectful position, making sure he wouldn't block the sunlight from the princess's face while still being able to see her beautiful face.
He instinctively wanted to reach out and touch the princess's face, but then he was afraid of waking her up, so he withdrew his hand.
...
When Qingyin finally woke up naturally after her afternoon nap, she opened her eyes to see a pair of burning eyes staring intently at her.
Qingyin was startled: "Ah!"
With a slight movement, she almost fell off the chaise longue.
Nan Chu was startled and nimbly caught Qing Yin in his arms.
With a warm and fragrant woman in his arms, even the Yehe leader, who was always aloof and indifferent to women, couldn't help but feel his heart flutter.
His mind was a jumble of thoughts.
His wife was so soft and fragrant. Holding her warm body, the scent wafted towards his nose.
Nan Chu's ears turned red.
After being held for a while, Qingyin finally understood the truth.
Since she finished her postpartum confinement, whenever the sun is out, she asks Maya to bring out a chaise lounge so she can sunbathe and take a nap.
That's why she's lying on the chaise lounge in the courtyard today.
But Maya, who was always by her side, was not there. Instead, sitting next to her today was a tall, handsome young man in a brocade robe.
Qingyin didn't need to think to guess the man's identity.
She leaned against the man's chest, her face pressed against his chest, and could even feel the texture of his well-developed pectoral muscles.
Qingyin was secretly pleased with her husband in this life, but she still pretended to be shy and said, "Lord Nan Chu, please put me down. I am no longer startled."
Nan Chu nodded, feigning composure: "Mm."
He reached out and, with great self-control, released the warm, fragrant jade in his arms.
His expression remained calm, still that of a cool and handsome man.
But Qingyin, who has lived through many lifetimes, is able to sensitively detect any unusual behavior in men.
His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes and ears betrayed him.
Do you have facial paralysis?
That's interesting.
Qingyin blinked her innocent eyes and looked at Nan Chu rather awkwardly. Her expression and movements looked very elegant, but it was not hard to see that she was nervous and distant.
Nan Chu understood, but a sense of disappointment subconsciously arose in his heart.
The princess was originally the crown princess of the Great Khan. If it weren't for his merits, the Great Khan would not have rewarded her with this title. Moreover, she had given birth to two daughters for the Great Khan. She cried for so long when she came to his residence this time, so she must be thinking about the Great Khan... Nan Chu felt a sense of resentment and jealousy.
The atmosphere between the two remained eerily quiet for a while, then...
"you……"
"you……"
The two of them asked in unison.
Qingyin and Nan Chu looked at each other, one staring boldly, the other avoiding the gaze with shyness, and Nan Chu's mood inexplicably improved.
Even if the princess was the Khan's woman before, now that she is his wife, he will cherish her and strive to make her more important than the Khan!
Nan Chu secretly encouraged himself. Despite having so many thoughts in his mind, Nan Chu's cold expression remained unchanged.
Qingyin's suspicion that her future husband was expressionless deepened.
Nan Chu smiled and said to Qingyin, trying to put on a kind expression, "Princess Consort, you can speak first if you have something to say."
