After slowly enjoying the exquisite meal, Yun Zhizhi straightened her skirt, gently covered her head with the beautifully embroidered red veil, and sat upright on the edge of the bed, waiting for Zhao Yunjin's return with a mix of joy and shyness.
Time passed by, and just as she was feeling bored and drowsy, her eyelids began to droop uncontrollably, as if she were about to fall asleep at any moment.
Suddenly, a clear and childlike voice drifted in from outside the door.
"Sixth Imperial Sister-in-law, can you hear me?"
The Eighth Princess stood on tiptoe, pressing herself tightly against the closed door. Her little face was slightly flushed from shouting, making her look as adorable as a ripe apple.
The tenth prince, who always liked to follow her around like a little tail, obediently remained silent, standing behind the eighth princess with his big eyes curiously looking around.
Upon hearing the voice, Yun Zhizhi, who was inside the room, was slightly taken aback at first, then a faint smile appeared on her lips. "It must be the Eighth Princess!"
Upon receiving a response, the Eighth Princess's face immediately broke into a bright smile.
"Sixth Sister-in-law, my tenth brother and I knew you must be bored staying in your room alone, so we came here to keep you company and chat with you to relieve your boredom."
Yun Zhizhi was touched by the two little ones' thoughtful gesture. "You two are so considerate! So, what should we talk about next?"
At this moment, a subtle glint of cunning flashed in the Eighth Princess's eyes.
A surge of joy filled my heart.
The fish is about to take the bait!
"Let's talk about the hot topic of wedding favors! The guests who came to the wedding banquet today absolutely loved the gifts you, Sixth Princess, prepared so thoughtfully. They were absolutely fantastic! Especially the young ladies from wealthy families, they were all screaming with excitement!"
The conversation suddenly shifted.
"Of course, I love it too. However, the head housekeeper said that each family can only receive one."
“But my family is a bit special. Besides my mother, my father also had several concubines. In my opinion, he had several families.”
"Sixth Imperial Sister-in-law, may I represent the Empress's family to receive a share?"
At this moment, the Tenth Prince suddenly blurted out, "Sixth Sister-in-law, may I represent Consort Rong's family to receive a share?"
After hearing this, Yun Zhizhi's expression was a colorful mix of emotions.
This quirky eighth princess has so many clever ideas.
She's clearly using the excuse of chatting to relieve her boredom to ask for a gift.
So, the real intention wasn't in the wine after all!
However, what she said makes a lot of sense.
Yun Zhizhi readily replied, "Sure, you can both get one."
Upon hearing this, the two little ones beamed with joy and shouted in unison, "Thank you, Sixth Princess!"
The sound was clear and resonant, filled with joy.
Just then, a deep, slightly languid voice suddenly rang out: "What are you two doing here, sneaking around like this?"
Zhao Yunjin has an upright posture and a composed gait, exuding an innate noble temperament in every gesture.
As soon as the Eighth Princess saw him, her big, watery eyes started darting around, clearly calculating how to respond.
"Hehe! My tenth brother and I were just about to start a wedding night prank on you!"
After saying that, he playfully winked at Zhao Yunjin.
Immediately afterward, she put on a dramatic act, clutching her stomach tightly and exclaiming, "Oh no! My stomach suddenly feels so bloated! I can't take it anymore, I need to go to the toilet right away!"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to react, he disappeared in a flash.
Seeing this, the tenth prince secretly groaned inwardly.
He was already hesitant to look his sixth brother in the eye with his imposing gaze, and now that he saw his eighth sister make an excuse to slip away, he panicked even more.
So, he lowered his head and stammered, "Um... I... I also suddenly felt an urgent need to urinate, so I'm afraid I need to go to the outhouse too."
Watching the two little ones disappear in an instant, Zhao Yunjin couldn't help but chuckle.
With a soft creak, the door was pushed open and then gently closed again.
Zhao Yunjin walked slowly and gracefully towards Yun Zhizhi, and sat down peacefully beside her.
He asked gently, "Did that little chatterbox, Eighth Princess, disturb your peace just now?"
Yun Zhizhi shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips, and let out a soft laugh: "No, they came here specifically to chat with me and keep me company."
It's better not to tell the truth.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid she has ulterior motives!"
After all, he knew his younger sister all too well.
After speaking, Zhao Yunjin extended his broad, warm palm and carefully placed it on Yun Zhizhi's slender hands to warm them.
Instantly, a wave of warmth washed over her, and Yun Zhizhi was slightly taken aback. She said in a sweet voice, "Yun Jin, how come your hands are so warm? They don't look cold at all like they should be after being outside for a long time."
"I practice martial arts regularly, so my body is naturally stronger than that of ordinary people. Besides, I just drank some wine, so my palms are warm right now."
Seeing that Yun Zhizhi's hands were gradually warming up, Zhao Yunjin let go of her hands and gently lifted the bright red veil from her head.
In an instant, Yun Zhizhi's charming, stunningly beautiful face was presented to him without reservation.
Zhao Yunjin felt her heart suddenly race, as if a little deer was pounding wildly in her chest.
He gazed at Yun Zhizhi intently, and couldn't help but exclaim, "My wife, you are so beautiful!"
