Even the hangover soup tasted a little sweet to me, and I held onto his hand tightly. Xie Yuancheng let me do whatever I wanted, and I was even happier to see his smiling face. I changed into some lighter clothes and dragged him around the room.
"No, look at the lamp. I see a little fairy sitting inside." I pointed to the nearest lamp to Xie Yuancheng and said there was a little fairy inside.
"Ying'er, we need to sleep now. The little fairy needs to sleep too. We can watch it again tomorrow."
"No~ She said she wants us to fan her, so she can sleep better that way~"
"Okay, here's the fan." Xie Yuancheng handed me a silk fan. I took it and started fanning the lamp, but why did it go out?
"Alright, the little fairy has gone back to sleep. Ying'er, come lie in my arms."
He spoke so gently that I went to lie down on the bed. Xie Yuancheng held me as we slept, and I would turn my head to look at him from time to time to make sure it was Xie Yuancheng beside me before I felt at ease.
While I was sleeping soundly next to Xie Yuancheng, I even imagined a hateful woman in my dream. I followed the kingfisher and gave her a good beating, so that she would be afraid of Xie Yuancheng from now on.
"Ugh, my head hurts so much~" It was already broad daylight when I rubbed my head, feeling miserable, and looked pitifully at Xie Yuancheng, "I won't drink this wine next time."
"Okay, I won't give Ying'er any more of this. Here, have a little more of this hangover remedy, and you won't feel so bad in a bit."
Xie Yuancheng picked me up and stirred the spoon to feed me. I drank in small sips, always looking up at him. I felt so pitiful no matter how I looked at him. Xie Yuancheng lowered his head and kissed me several times.
"Yuancheng~ I feel unwell~" After finishing the soup, I grabbed his sleeve and wouldn't let go, my brows still furrowed.
"I'm sorry for what I did to Ying'er this time. I won't let you drink it next time, Ying'er~ You can punish me however you want when you're better."
"Why aren't you wearing an outer garment?" I was thinking about how to punish him, but my eyes were fixed on him.
"You're confused again. We're still in bed. This was brought in by the maids."
"They're not allowed to watch, I have to watch it all by myself!" I grabbed his hand and shook it back and forth. Xie Yuancheng laughed even louder, but I refused to laugh along with him and looked at him with a displeased expression.
"Ying'er, we're still dressed, how could we see me?"
"Well, why were your clothes open? I saw it all." I knew he was doing it for my sake, but I still wanted to tease him.
"Want to know?" Xie Yuancheng leaned closer with a dangerous look on his face. I felt a little better and quickly shook my head. "Ying'er~ I'm not going out today, and you shouldn't go out either."
I regret it. I shouldn't have asked him on purpose. Love, I've really been outmaneuvered! It must be snowing outside again. It's so quiet inside. I reached out to lift the blanket, but Xie Yuancheng grabbed my hand.
"You look so energetic~ Ying'er, it's already afternoon." Dimples appeared on Xie Yuancheng's face, and I curled up in the blanket and leaned against his chest. "Didn't you dance beautifully? You danced it all for me."
"Yes, they're all mine." I said to him as I listened. Xie Yuancheng was just too gentle. He rarely stayed in bed all day. Even if he had nothing to do, he would go out for a walk.
"Hehe~ Little Chengcheng is staying home all day because of me~" I played with his black hair. I was so envious of his hair, it was like silk.
"I need to spend time with Ying'er occasionally. We're husband and wife, but it's not like we're together every day. However, I do want to spend more time with Ying'er, but I'm always so busy. I'll spend some quality time with you these next few days."
"I'm not going to stay in bed all day. I've seen the young man who just slipped you the note several times already. What are you two talking about now?"
"It's not a good thing. The foreign woman who was scolded by Ying'er until midnight last night is requesting an audience outside the mansion, but I didn't let her in."
"Pah! This person has no shame whatsoever! What is she doing in our manor? Does she want to be the Marquis's wife? Doesn't she even know if she's qualified!"
This woman is dreaming. Don't think she can get past me by playing the victim. If she were a beggar, I'd give her some money, but she's here to steal my Yuancheng. I should be grateful I don't beat her to a pulp.
"Haha~ Ying'er is so cute when she's angry. She came in the morning and then again in the afternoon. She said she was coming to visit us in the morning, and then she said she was bringing her sisters to give us gifts in the afternoon."
"You're not allowed to see her!" I got up and pressed Xie Yuancheng down on the pillow, looking at him warily. "If you dare to look at other women behind my back, I'm not a gentle person."
"Yes, has Ying'er been seeing other men behind my back?"
"Of course not!" The image of the Second Prince from yesterday flashed through my mind. Should I tell him or not? This peacock might just be confused for a moment. If I tell him, it will cause them to fight, and outsiders will have something to hold against Linyang.
"Really?" Xie Yuancheng tickled me, and I laughed so hard I fell to the side. "I saw Ying'er's eyes moving. I'm several times smarter than you; you can't fool me!"
"Hmph! Even if there is one, it's just unrequited love. I won't let you go! I'd rather tear your reputation to shreds than let you leave."
I swiped the blanket over myself, trapping Xie Yuancheng inside. Even if he tried to resist, he'd be more considerate of me and wouldn't resort to brute force. He definitely knows the Second Prince saw me yesterday. Anyway, I have a clear conscience; I just hope we can resolve this peacefully.
It was already dark when I finally had the maids bring in water. After I soaked in the hot water again, Xie Yuancheng came over and asked, "Didn't they mention him again?"
"No, but I'm curious, isn't it said that the Second Princess Consort is very jealous?"
"If you love someone deeply but they don't reciprocate, you'll humbly do things for them if they give you even the slightest hint."
"How did you know?" I was scrubbing his back. Could there really be such a stupid woman?
"You're lucky, and so am I. We developed feelings for each other quickly, so you can't understand her feelings yet."
"Then don't know~ Anyway, I'm sticking to you." I was so happy to scrub Xie Yuancheng's back, and the more I scrubbed, the more accomplished I felt.
Xie Yuancheng was unusually calm today, which made me worried he might act impulsively as before and plot against the other party. Once we leave, even if the Second Prince acts up again, it's his problem.
Feelings are mutual, and we have no past ties, so we're not on the same path. The Second Prince's eyes were full of unreadable expressions. He didn't have Xie Yuancheng's strengths, but he had quite a few weaknesses. Even a fool would definitely choose Xie Yuancheng.
I explained the situation to Xie Yuancheng, and he laughed. I helped him change his clothes, but I still didn't know what he was laughing about. Was I wrong?
"That's right." Xie Yuancheng pushed open the door. It was so cold outside. I climbed onto his back. "Ying'er, you're bullying me again."
"I'm just going to bully you~ Tell me first, don't be impulsive. I haven't taken this to heart, he can say whatever he wants, we'll just live our lives."
