"No, I'm selective about the bed." Nan Fenghuang said, her eyes slightly opening a crack.
Xie Lingqin was puzzled, "So you're not going to choose my bed anymore?"
"Hmm, it's really strange. As soon as I lay down, I felt relaxed and comfortable all over, and then I felt sleepy."
As Nan Fenghuang spoke, she yawned without any restraint, pulled the blanket up over herself, and went to sleep.
Before long, even breathing began to rise gently, continuous and peaceful.
Xie Lingqin...
After a long while, he reached out and touched Nan Fenghuang's breath.
"It really did fall asleep, but it's really big."
Xie Lingqin glanced at the quilt, then got up and lit the floor heater, instantly warming the room.
She wasn't particularly sensitive to the cold, so one quilt was just right for her. However, one quilt was a bit insufficient for the two of them, so turning on the floor heating would make it warmer.
The next day, it was just getting light.
"Bang--"
A loud bang startled Xie Lingqin awake.
"Ugh, this bed is so hard."
"Please, you rolled onto the ground, okay?" Xie Lingqin rolled her eyes at Nan Fenghuang, who was sitting on the ground with the blanket.
"Hey, why are you sleeping on the soft couch?"
Nan Fenghuang looked at Xie Lingqin with a puzzled expression.
"hehe……"
Xie Lingqin chuckled dryly, "Don't you even look at your own sleeping posture?"
She had just fallen asleep when Nan Fenghuang squeezed into her, almost squeezing her out of her throat.
"You'd better practice your sleeping posture, otherwise your life with Yu Qingyi won't be very harmonious in the future."
Xie Lingqin was straightforward, and Nan Fenghuang wasn't shy either, smoothing her messy long hair, "This princess will make him behave."
While the two were talking, Tridacna, who had heard the noise outside, immediately pushed the door open and came in.
"...Princess Nan?"
"Yes, that's right, it's me. When you prepare breakfast for your young lady, give me a portion too. I want some porridge."
When Nan Fenghuang started ordering around the giant clam, she was quite ruthless.
Tridacna lowered its gaze and looked at Xie Lingqin questioningly.
Xie Lingqin rubbed her temples and waved her hand, "Do as she says."
Tridacna glanced at Nan Fenghuang again, her eyes thoughtful, and then withdrew.
"Hey Nan Fenghuang, what's your second brother like?"
Xie Lingqin asked as she stood up.
Nan Fenghuang straightened her clothes, patted the quilt, and tossed it onto the bed for Xie Lingqin. "My second brother? Isn't he just that kind of person?"
Why doesn't he show his true face?
"Yes, he thinks he's ugly and is afraid of being ridiculed."
Xie Lingqin...
"If that's the case, then don't come out and scare people."
These words were clearly sarcastic. Nan Fenghuang laughed dryly twice, looking quite serious, and said, "Then I'll tell him later."
After the two finished washing up, just as Tridacna brought out breakfast, General Xie, for some reason, heard that Nan Fenghuang was at Qingshui Pavilion and came with his steward.
Xie Lingqin had never seen such an eager smile before. She sneered inwardly, too lazy to even put on a show, and sat down to drink her porridge.
"Lingqin, the princess of Southern Qi has arrived. Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
"The princess arrived last night and slept in my room. Is Father going to come and barge into her boudoir?"
Xie Lingqin's tone was unfriendly.
General Xie choked, smiled gently at Nan Fenghuang, then looked at Xie Lingqin with great anger, "You are a guest from afar, and the princess hasn't even sat down to eat yet, and you've already started eating. Is this how you treat a guest..."
“Father, you never taught me how to treat guests when I was little.”
Xie Lingqin slowly raised her head, looking at Xie Jiang in a bad mood.
General Xie maintained his composure on the surface, but the cold light in his eyes shone directly at Xie Lingqin.
Xie Lingqin faced it calmly.
Looking closely, to be honest, this father has almost no redeeming qualities other than being good-looking.
"Father, please be kind to Ningyi."
After all, he is your only son now.
When Xie Lingqin suddenly uttered such a sentence, General Xie's expression darkened even more. Was this a threat?
His son only obeyed his disobedient daughter.
However, due to Nan Fenghuang's presence, General Xie could only maintain a smile.
"General Xie, there's no need for such formalities. I feel at ease anywhere and don't need any special treatment. I'm glad Miss Xie would take me in."
Nan Fenghuang, showing no respect, plopped down and started drinking porridge from the bowl.
General Xie's idea of using Nan Fenghuang to extinguish Xie Lingqin's arrogance vanished instantly. He suppressed his anger and left in a huff.
Xie Yushu breathed a sigh of relief and followed.
"Butler Xie, I'd like to buy something and discuss it with you," Xie Lingqin called out to him.
Xie Yushu realized that Xie Lingqin must have something to say to him, so he asked General Xie for instructions and stayed behind.
Xie Lingqin got up and walked out.
Nan Fenghuang glanced outside and continued drinking her porridge.
"I had someone check on your fiancée, and she should arrive in Beijing within the next two days."
As soon as Xie Lingqin finished speaking, Xie Yushu's face began to tremble. "I thought you would help me stop it."
"Stop her?" Xie Lingqin raised her finger and tapped her forehead. "No need to stop her. According to the news, this woman is kind-hearted and a good match for you. Alright, go ahead and get busy."
Seeing Xie Lingqin enter the house without stopping, Xie Yushu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Tridacna, "Alright, alright, hurry back and get yourself ready."
Xie Yushu looked at the giant clam, his handsome face slightly annoyed and extremely uncomfortable. "You, you're making fun of me too."
"Alright, Steward Xie, this is good news." Tridacna patted Xie Yushu on the shoulder, laughing with obvious schadenfreude.
