Having successfully convinced himself, Fu Hanlai quickly closed the book containing the explicit content and stuffed it back into the hidden compartment. Then he lay down and obediently covered himself with the blanket.
Quiet and honest.
Jiang Xuelin, standing next to her, was equally quiet and well-behaved.
Both of them had their eyes tightly closed, but they couldn't fall asleep. Certain indescribable images kept swirling in their minds, but Fu Han was certain that he was absolutely innocent and he didn't want to think about those things at all!
I don't want to at all!
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Hanlai realized that he still couldn't fall asleep at all.
"……Hello."
Just then, Jiang Xuelin, who was next to her, seemed to finally be unable to hold back and called out softly, but she was still wrapped in the brocade quilt and only her head was showing.
Anyway, it's Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, and the temperature will be quite low at night, so I won't feel hot even when I'm wrapped in a blanket.
Even though Jiang Xuelin had lowered her voice, and even though she only said "hello," Fu Hanlai was already lost in thought, and the slightest sound would startle him, let alone Jiang Xuelin's voice.
"...What, what's wrong? Jiang Xuelin, let me tell you, I'm still a virgin, I won't agree!"
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
What the hell are you talking about!
Damn it, a virgin young man, damn it, I won't agree! What do you think I'm going to say?
"I'm a virgin too, who do you think you are more noble than!" Unable to hold back any longer, Jiang Xuelin retorted, "Do you think I'm blinded by lust and only interested in your body? Of all the people I could have my eye on, why would I choose you?"
Fu Hanlai, who was already regretting his overreaction, was also a little unhappy when he heard Jiang Xuelin's next words.
"Am I inferior to anyone? You look down on me, but I look down on you too!"
These words did sound a bit sarcastic, but unfortunately neither Jiang Xuelin nor Fu Hanlai realized it. Jiang Xuelin had also forgotten what she was about to say, and sat up after lifting the blanket.
Fu Hanlai reacted quickly as well.
The two sat on the bed again and started arguing.
"Knock knock knock!"
Just as a fight was about to break out, a sudden knock on the door interrupted them.
"Your Highness, Your Highness's Consort, is there anything you require?"
Hongluo, who was keeping watch at the door, asked with some hesitation.
Hearing rustling sounds and low voices inside, Hongluo assumed the two were talking about something and didn't say anything. But later, the two started arguing for some unknown reason.
The voice grew louder and louder, and even the person at the door could hear everything. After hesitating for a moment, she knocked on the door and asked.
"...No further instructions."
"yes."
After leaving behind this message, Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai looked at each other and finally decided to go to sleep.
"...What were you trying to say just now?"
Finally, Fu Hanlai lowered his voice and asked hesitantly.
He admitted that he had indeed been misled by the book, thinking that Jiang Xuelin was just too curious about the contents of the book, which was why she called him, and that she wanted to try it out. By the time he realized what had happened, it was too late.
Jiang Xuelin still hasn't said what she called him back then.
Jiang Xuelin then remembered what she was about to say, and her face showed a rare hint of embarrassment. She then regained her composure and said, "Oh, this? I just wanted to say that since you're going to sleep, you should take the glass lamp off the bed. Otherwise, although the light is soft and not glaring, it's still a bit too bright."
It's just right by the window, but too bright to sleep on the bed.
"……oh."
Fu Hanlai nodded, picked up the glass lamp, got off the bed, put it away, and went back to bed. Jiang Xuelin was already lying down.
Neither of them caused any more trouble, and it seemed that after the argument, their minds were cleared of all the lewd thoughts, and they no longer had trouble sleeping.
The next morning, Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai were both yawning and extremely sleepy when they got up. Unfortunately, there was a palace banquet today, and several masters of the Pingwang Mansion had to go to the palace to attend the banquet, so they had to get up early to prepare.
As Green Ivy styled Jiang Xuelin's hair, she observed Jiang Xuelin's complexion and asked, "Did the Princess Consort not get enough rest last night?"
The area around his eyes was a dark, bluish-black mass, which was extremely jarring to look at.
Jiang Xuelin was naturally fair-skinned, so any slight abnormality would be very noticeable. Now, with dark circles under her eyes, and since she was going to the palace later, she couldn't be impolite. After thinking for a moment, Green Luo changed to a box of pearl powder and applied a lot around her eyes to at least cover it up a bit and prevent the dark circles from being too obvious.
"Yes, I'm feeling a bit sleepy. I'll take a short nap in the carriage when we go to the palace later."
Jiang Xuelin had no choice but to accept this situation.
She absolutely had to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner; she couldn't be impolite, she knew exactly what that meant.
Fu Hanlai was already dressed. He watched as Jiang Xuelin sat in front of the dressing table, letting Green Ivy do her makeup. She wandered around the area seemingly unintentionally, but didn't say anything extra.
Green Ivy's hands are extremely skillful. In her daily life, she takes care of Jiang Xuelin's daily life the most. She redid Jiang Xuelin's makeup, combed her hair, put on various jewelry and decorations, and even put a blooming begonia flower on Jiang Xuelin's forehead.
Then, the Crown Princess, dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking radiant, appeared.
Fu Hanlai was stunned for a moment, then looked away.
