Chapter 24: Sudden Mischief
Chu Sishui raised her head. "When I first met you, I thought you were a deity. You were so quiet. Even after we got married, you wouldn't talk unless I took the initiative."
Rong Zhuo, "There's nothing to say."
"Although he doesn't talk much during the day, he's better than before. At least when he answers questions, his sentences are longer and he uses some emotion."
Rong Zhuo, "You like me talking to you."
"Of course. If you're cold all day, I'll still be a little scared."
Rong Zhuo, "Are you not afraid now?"
Chu Sishui, "After getting to know each other, I realized that Xiaoyue was just cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
Rong Zhuo, "..."
"Rest."
Chu Sishui wisely closed her eyes, wondering why this man was so quiet tonight.
Rong Zhuo saw that she was twisting and turning, changing several positions but still couldn't fall asleep, "Are you worried about something?"
Chu Sishui said, "No, I just went to bed a little early."
Rong Zhuo closed his eyes, "Want it?"
Chu Sishui widened her eyes and looked sideways, "...what?"
Rong Zhuo didn't wait for her to react and started working on her.
Chu Sishui felt embarrassed and annoyed. His behavior seemed to show how hungry she was, thinking about those things every day.
"...Your Highness...please...wait...for a moment."
The answer she got was the sound of pajamas being torn. Chu Sishui was stunned. She didn't know how to answer if Lu He asked her about it tomorrow.
She was about to raise her hand to stop him, but someone else's arm was faster than her. She turned around and the familiar and embarrassing touch came over her again.
She buried her face in the pillow sadly, and her voice was swallowed by the soft pillow core.
After a long time, Rong Zhuo turned her over, smoothed her sweat-soaked hair, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to sleep?"
Chu Sishui was not afraid of him at this moment. She slapped him with her backhand, but the force was so soft that it only reached him before he was blocked.
Rong Zhuo's eyes softened and he said darkly, "You are the one who recruited me."
Chu Sishui turned sideways and glared back at him.
Rong Zhuo calmly pulled the quilt over her and covered her with it, returning to his daytime appearance. After getting dressed, he stood up, grabbed the handrail, got on the wheelchair and went to the bathroom.
Chu Sishui was still feeling weak and tired, but she was very sleepy, so she moved to another clean room like a ghost.
Reach out and take the cotton cloth to wipe it, one hand...
Her face suddenly turned red with shame. She usually pretended to be as cool and indifferent as a fairy, but at night she was like a hungry wolf. She never lacked him during the days they were together, so why was he so excessive?
She started to worry when she thought about what would happen if her leg got better.
He walked out slowly, but the culprit was still sitting in the wheelchair.
Chu Sishui was puzzled, "Are you still not asleep?"
Rong Zhuo was calm and composed, "...the bed is a little dirty, it needs to be changed."
It turns out that she has to replace the evidence of the two people herself...
Chu Sishui was about to laugh at him, "You can let the maid come in."
If we are to be ashamed, we should be ashamed together.
Rong Zhuo, "The maids are very curious."
Chu Sishui laughed silently, opened the cupboard door resignedly, and took out the clean sheets.
He then busily changed the dirty sheets and spread the new sheets flat with a great effort.
"You're responsible for fixing that corner over there."
Rong Zhuo drooped his eyelids, stretched out his hand, smoothed out the embroidered sheets, first fixed the head of the bed, then pushed the wheelchair to the foot of the bed and tidied it up silently.
The couple finally returned to bed.
Chu Sishui didn't want to pay any attention to him at this moment, so she fell into a deep sleep naturally.
The two of them slept until noon.
After a while, Rong Zhuo woke up, got up by himself, changed his clothes, pushed the wheelchair and opened the door.
Jin Pei had been watering the flowers since early morning. She had watered three rounds and saw that there was still no movement in the main room. She was about to leave when she saw Prince Rui.
"Your Highness, please have some breakfast." Although it was almost noon, the princess did not get up.
"Bring some cakes to my study and wait for the princess to wake up before having lunch."
"yes."
Jin Pei left the courtyard and called Lu He, "Go and keep watch. The princess will probably wake up soon."
Luhe nodded, walked quietly to the stool in the main room and sat down.
Although the windows in the room were closed, the conversation still drifted into Chu Sishui's ears.
She didn't want to get up at the moment, for fear of being laughed at. After lying there for a while and being dazed for a while, I guessed that Jin Pei should have gone to the study.
Chu Sishui called Lu He in.
As soon as Luhe came in, she saw a pile of messy sheets thrown on the ground, and the pajamas that the young lady was wearing yesterday were also floating on the ground.
She picked up the pajamas that were torn into several pieces out of curiosity. This really made her, an unmarried woman, blush.
Knowing that she was a lady with a thin face, she pretended to be indifferent and picked up the bed sheet from the ground. As soon as she reached out her hand, she felt the silky silk and felt distressed. Such an expensive thing was wasted like this.
Chu Sishui saw through her thoughts and said embarrassedly, "Take it to someone to clean it. It should still be usable, but you have to wash it by hand and ask them to pay more."
Lu He: "Yes."
The embarrassment had passed, and Chu Sishui now remembered the wheelchair incident last night.
He quickly stopped Lu He who was walking out with the bed sheet, "Lu He, tell Yin Ren to bring the craftsman from last time. I have something to arrange."
Luhe thought it was a big deal, so she took the bed sheet back.
"Hey, take it out and have it washed first. Remember not to let anyone see it. Then go call Silver Blade."
Lu He understood and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I will stay away from people."
Chu Sishui gritted her teeth secretly, shook off the embarrassing thoughts that had been in her mind since the morning, put on her clothes by herself, and called Yinpei in to help her put on makeup.
After the two of them had lunch, Rong Zhuo returned to the study alone.
Just then, Yin Ren and the craftsmen arrived.
"Yin Ren, push out one of the prince's spare wheelchairs."
Then he said to the craftsmen waiting nearby, "Your Highness's wheelchair can be improved. Here is the drawing. The craftsmen can take a look."
Several workers passed down the drawings that required widening and heightening, and changing the axle of the rotating shaft movable device.
After another detailed discussion, "Princess, could you please tell me the measurement of His Highness' height? This will be more accurate."
Chu Sishui thought for a moment and said, "Wait here for a while."
So he took the measuring equipment and rushed to the study.
Rong Zhuo was practicing calligraphy at the moment. Just as he wrote the last word, the sound of the princess' brisk footsteps came. The door creaked and Chu Sishui came in directly.
"Your Highness, I need to measure your height."
Rong Zhuo put down his pen, pushed his wheelchair to her side, and asked, "What?"
"You'll know in a little while."
He used instruments and a measuring tape to measure Rong Zhuo from head to toe, picked up a goose feather beside him, dipped it in ink, and wrote a long string of numbers on it.
When she put down her pen, she happened to see Rong Zhuo's calligraphy. Although Chu Sishui was a modern person, she had been forced by her parents to learn calligraphy for two years. She sincerely sighed, "Your Highness, your handwriting is really good. Is it the style of Yan Zhenqing?"
Rong Zhuo, "Yes, do you like it?"
Chu Sishui nodded.
Rong Zhuo, "I'll have the silver blade framed and hung in the bedroom."
Chu Sishui shook her head. "Although your highness's handwriting is good, this content is not suitable for the bedroom. Diligence makes you proficient, while play makes you lose. Thought makes you successful, while carelessness makes you lose. It is better suited for the study."
Rong Zhuo, "…what sentence do you want?"
Chu Sishui thought about it, wrote it down, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, please remember to write it down and put it in our bedroom."
Then he took the measured data and left the study.
Rong Zhuo pushed the wheelchair to look at the content, "When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world." Even if he controlled it well, the corners of his mouth still curved.
Since she wanted it, he wrote it.
To be honest, it was she who gave it to him.
