She reached out and stroked his cheeks and eyes, smiling with satisfaction, and kissed his stubble-covered chin, not minding the discomfort at all.
Noticing her restless behavior, his closed eyes suddenly opened, his gaze fixed intently on her, burning with a desire to devour her whole.
He grabbed her waist, flipped her over, and pinned her beneath him. Thirteen smiled lightly, "Does the Princess Consort miss me that much?"
He Yue chuckled, about to retort, when suddenly her mouth was covered, and she couldn't speak.
After being separated for a long time, the two missed each other terribly, their limbs intertwined, reluctant to part.
A man in his twenties is at the peak of his energy. Since the deposed crown prince, the two have not had any intimacy. Thirteen is very domineering in this regard, and Heyue has been completely devoured. While complaining in her heart, she was also extremely gratified, thinking that it seemed he hadn't taken advantage of her absence to cheat on her.
Having understood this, Heyue harbored no resentment and let him do as he pleased.
The next day, Heyue slept until the sun was high in the sky.
Opening his eyes, he was greeted by the same handsome face of Thirteen.
He couldn't help but lament, "The spring night is too short, and the sun rises high; from then on, the emperor no longer holds morning court."
However, now that he is under house arrest and does not need to attend court, he naturally does not need to get up early.
But the people in the courtyard will probably laugh at us.
Heyue pinched his nose and saw him gradually frown, open his mouth, and open his eyes in dissatisfaction. His arms were still wrapped around her waist. He raised one hand, grabbed her mischievous hand, and placed it on his chest, muttering, "Be good, don't move, I'll sleep a little longer."
"Hmph, sleep what? Are you really going to throw away your dignity?!" He Yue grimaced for a while, then suddenly her eyes rolled and a strange smile appeared on her lips.
The next moment, Heyue reached out her other hand and tickled his armpit.
At first, Thirteen frowned and endured it, but later he couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing. He pulled her into his arms and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Alright, alright, I was wrong, please forgive me, my lady! Please forgive me, my lady..."
Hailan and Zhizhu, who were outside, covered their mouths and chuckled as they listened to the laughter and pleas for mercy coming from inside.
The dark clouds of these past few days seem to have disappeared.
It's so good that the Princess Consort is back.
He Yue originally thought that Thirteen would be depressed and despondent because of this, but to her surprise, he was calmer than she had imagined and could still laugh so heartily.
This laugh wasn't fake; it came from the heart.
This version of him is completely different from the down-and-out, gloomy and deep-seated Thirteen.
After a while of laughter and playfulness, the two quieted down. Thirteen took Heyue's hand, kissed it lightly, and looked at her with tender eyes, feeling both heartache and self-reproach: "Heyue, I'm sorry you had to suffer."
Heyue didn't care at all; these hardships were nothing to her. Although her fourth brother hadn't agreed to beg Kangxi, she still wanted to try again and get back the promise from Kangxi no matter what.
“I’m doing fine there, but I’m uneasy because I can’t see you and the children. I can’t eat or sleep well.”
If we only say it's good, Thirteen would probably be even more worried. She was telling the truth; if she weren't concerned about him and the child, she wouldn't be so exhausted.
"By the way, how are Hongchang and Tongxuan? Did they make a fuss? Did they cry?" Heyue suddenly realized that she had forgotten about her own children because she was so happy to see Thirteen after waking up yesterday and had been kept up by him all night.
Heyue felt extremely guilty; she was such an irresponsible mother.
Thirteen quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, the children are fine. They cried because they couldn't see you, but fortunately, Father Emperor didn't completely cut off my freedom. Fourth Brother can come to see me often and even brings the imperial physician. The children are all healthy."
He Yue originally thought that Thirteen's situation must be very serious, after all, that's how history is, but she didn't expect that Kangxi would allow Thirteen to meet with Fourth Brother.
It seems history has shifted, and my efforts were not entirely in vain.
In this way, changing Thirteen's situation is not so difficult.
He Yue's heart was suddenly at ease, and he regained his confidence.
Thirteen's expression was complicated. He didn't tell Heyue that although his father allowed his fourth brother to see him, he had personally said that his father was disloyal and unfilial and unfit to be a son, which was a denial of all the previous father-son affection.
As for his fourth brother, perhaps he still cherished that father-son bond, which is why he allowed his fourth brother to visit him occasionally.
He Yue quickly got up and called someone in.
Hailan and four maids helped the two of them wash up and change clothes.
After everything was settled, Heyue had someone bring the three children over.
Upon seeing Heyue, Tongxuan and Hongchang, who were being held by the nanny, immediately had tears in their eyes and cried loudly, stretching out their arms to be held by Heyue: "Mother, Mother, waaaaah, Mother..."
He Yue felt a pang of heartache. Holding one child in each arm was a bit of a struggle. She placed them on the tatami mat, kissed each child's cheek, and softly comforted them, "Good boy/girl, Mommy's here. Don't cry, okay?"
Hongchang was strong and rushed into Heyue's arms. Heyue fell onto the couch, protecting him, listening to his heart-wrenching cries: "Mother doesn't want Dabao anymore, Mother is bad..."
Heyue's heart was breaking. She kissed his cheek hard, her eyes reddening, and said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you. Dabao, don't cry."
Tongxuan hugged Heyue's neck, her eyes brimming with tears, like they were filled with bubbles: "Xiaobao, don't throw it away either!"
Heyue gently pinched Tongxuan's cheek and smiled, "Good boy, Mommy won't abandon you."
Thirteen smiled with relief and stepped forward to hug Heyue and the two children: "Father will never let Mother leave you again."
Hailan and the other four maids reddened their eyes and secretly wiped away their tears.
