The reprimand was like a bucket of cold water, sobering up the princes and preventing them from acting rashly.
It was a rare occasion for Yin to rest with her. She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, burying her face in his chest like a spoiled kitten.
"Does your knee still hurt?" Yin Qingchen's voice was unusually deep.
Um? !
Qingyan remembered that when she returned that day, Yin noticed the bruises on her knees, and the anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed. When she met his angry gaze, her heart pounded wildly.
"It doesn't hurt anymore!" Qingyan's kitten-like voice rang in his ear, and his hot palm traveled through her undergarments to her skin.
Soon, they will be setting off back to the capital, after which they will have to face reality.
Outside, they could deceive themselves into having a private time together, but now that she was slowly returning to the palace, she felt somewhat out of place.
As soon as he unbuttoned two buttons, a blush appeared on her face. Yin had been very well-behaved these past few days since her knee injury.
"Master, it's time to get up!" Su Peisheng's words were like cold water poured on Yin.
He punched the bed in frustration, but no resentment came to his heart.
Damn it!
If Su Peisheng comes a few more times, he estimates that there will really be problems.
"Fourth Prince, don't keep your mother waiting!" Qingyan nudged Yin, urging him to get up quickly.
************************
On the carriage, Qingyan began to eat breakfast, but inwardly she was complaining about Yin.
He actually planted a few hickeys on her neck without her noticing, and when he was chatting and laughing with the Grand Consort, the ambiguous look in Yin Genjueluo's eyes almost made Qingyan's whole body burn.
"How annoying!" Qingyan thought of this and threw a cushion at Yin.
Yin coughed twice and continued reading the memorial.
Early in the morning, he deliberately interrupted Su Peisheng's intimate actions. He was quite uncomfortable about it.
"Hmph! You can sleep in the study for a month!" Qingyan pouted.
Yin was very self-disciplined. Even when he was punished by sleeping in the study, he would not provoke the servants and would handle government affairs on his own.
Qingyan had once worried that Yin might be keeping women in his study. After observing him many times, she found that he made no other moves and even punished several maids who tried to get into his bed.
“Alright!” Yin replied without hesitation.
Late at night, Qingyan tossed and turned on the soft couch, feeling empty beside her, unable to fall asleep at all.
Yin rested outside the screen, and she always wanted to go over and fall asleep in his arms.
"No!" Qingyan stared wide-eyed at the roof of the carriage, pulled the blanket up with both hands, and bit the blanket tightly with her small mouth, as if this could stop her from screaming.
After a cup of tea, she could no longer restrain herself and stepped out from behind the screen, still wearing her undergarments.
"Fourth...Fourth..." Qingyan called him softly.
Yin woke up as she moved. He closed his eyes slightly, as if he were asleep. He was waiting for her to take the bait. For the past few days, Yin had been holding her to sleep, and if he suddenly changed his posture, the little girl would definitely not be able to sleep.
"Sisi, are you awake?" Qingyan, dressed in a white undergarment with her long hair loose, pouted slightly and pinched his cheek with a look of dissatisfaction.
Yin's patience was superb; Qingyan was finally relieved to find that he wouldn't wake up even when she pinched him.
She got up and climbed into his bed, and he rolled over and pulled her into his arms.
He felt the cool little body roll into his arms and let out a delicate little yawn.
In the early morning, Yin propped his head up with his right hand and looked at the little girl beside him. She opened her sleepy eyes and saw the slight upturn of his lips.
"Get up, little darling!" His deep voice rang out again, and Qingyan instantly woke up.
Her face instantly turned bright red. The day before, she had confidently told Yin to sleep in the study, but... she ended up sleeping in the study with him too.
"You stinky fool!" Qingyan knew she had fallen into a trap when she saw his smiling face.
Yin leaned down and kissed her cheek, his forehead touching hers.
"My Lady is very pleased that she shares a bed with me!" Yin's eyes were full of smiles, quite different from his usual forced smile.
Immediately, her eyes lit up. If Yin Neng could smile like that often, who would call him the Iceberg Fourth Prince?
Now, his smile probably feels like an iceberg melting.
"We'll be on the road for a few days," Yin said with a slight smile.
She shrank under the covers, the small blanket covering half her face, her watery eyes shyly staring at his collar, not daring to look directly at him.
"Alright!" Yin pinched her little cheek. "Want to go to sleep now?"
Yin picked up Qingyan, walked around the screen, placed her on the soft couch, and pulled the blanket up.
"I'll sleep with you tonight!" Yin whispered in her ear.
Qingyan's face turned red again; they still had to report to Emperor Kangxi every day.
"Where are you going?" Qingyan asked, puzzled. Yin would leave for half an hour every morning.
"Go to Father's side!"
Qingyan released his hand, letting him go to pay his respects first. His departing figure warmed her heart.
In a daze, she drifted off to sleep. After changing into his everyday clothes, Yin came in to check on her. She was sleeping soundly with her mouth slightly open, so Yin left with peace of mind.
An hour later, Yin returned. Su Peisheng was carrying a lot of memorials behind him. Su Lan and the others were still waiting outside the screen. He waved his hand and told them to leave first.
Xiao Guai didn't like outsiders disturbing their lives. He took the memorial and leaned against the upper left of the window, starting to deal with the court officials, waiting for Xiao Guai to come to her senses.
Just now, the Crown Prince mentioned the jewelry from Linglong Pavilion, which displeased him. Qingyan's design skills are indeed good, but he wouldn't lower his status to design jewelry for the Crown Prince's concubine. Otherwise, if the news got out, how would Xiaoguai socialize with her sisters-in-law?
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and slammed the folded document heavily onto the table. The loud noise jolted Qingyan awake from her semi-conscious state.
"Awake?" Yin walked over and watched the little guy get up and change into his everyday clothes.
"You're getting angry again?" Qingyan hoped that Yin could vent his dissatisfaction; he couldn't relieve stress by bottling it up.
If he keeps all his anger inside, it will definitely affect his health.
Emperor Kangxi would smash cups at the slightest provocation; this was his way of venting his frustrations.
"No, in the future, if the Crown Prince invites you again, just say you're sick and refuse!" Gegenhas is definitely not going to stay quiet. In just a few days, he has already allowed Yin to come to his door asking for jewelry. His family is not the Crown Prince's servant. The position of the Crown Prince is not yet determined, so there is no need for them to curry favor with the Crown Prince.
"Huh?" Qingyan was confused and turned to draw eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil.
"Are you stupid?" Yin stepped forward, wiped her face clean with a warm handkerchief, held an eyebrow pencil in one hand, and held her head still with the other, carefully drawing her eyebrows stroke by stroke.
Her eyes widened in disbelief. Was this really Si Si? (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
