Chapter 34: Sharing a bed with Qingjia is simply her treasure.
Yu Qing regretted it the moment she finished speaking. She always lost her mind when she saw Qing Jia.
Even she, as innocent as a piece of paper, could sense the ambiguous feelings. Although she did not reject Qingjia's intimacy, the fatal problem still existed: she was not a man!
While holding Qingjia in his arms, he was thinking in his mind, the princess said that she was just accompanying me tonight, right?
There won't be any undressing part later...
Fortunately, Qingjia did not do anything out of the ordinary. She just hugged Yu Qing quietly. The warmth from their two bodies gradually seeped into each other, and Yu Qing could feel her heartbeat.
The thunder roared again and the rain fell heavily.
Qingjia's arms tightened for a moment, and Yu Qing said, "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."
After about a moment, the princess finally calmed down from her panic-stricken and sad state.
Yu Qing felt that she should have recovered, so he whispered, "You continue to sleep. I'll get a blanket and go to the couch over there..."
Qingjia grabbed her sleeve and said, "Don't go."
Yu Qing: “…”
Qingjia said softly, "It's still thundering. I can only sleep if you stay next to me. Come in and lie down a little."
She hesitated for a moment, then took off her outer robe. There was nothing unusual about the clothes underneath.
She blew out half of the lamp again, took a deep breath, walked into the bed as if facing a great enemy, and slept with the princess.
She was a little stiff, but fortunately the princess's bed was spacious, so the two of them were not pressed together without a gap.
It was difficult to see anything in the darkness, so the princess spoke to her in a low voice.
"I'm sorry for calling you here so suddenly tonight and making you sleep poorly..."
Yu Qing said: "I was awake too, the thunder was really too loud."
"Have breakfast with me tomorrow before going to court."
"Um……"
"Will you come over tonight?"
"……Come."
"I'll ask them to make you your favorite snacks, okay?"
"good……"
The two of them were talking to each other, and Qingjia rustled closer in the darkness. Yu Qing subconsciously tensed up all over in an instant.
Qingjia rested his forehead on her shoulder and placed one hand on Yu Qing's waist. Yu Qing said with difficulty, "Your Highness, Your Highness..."
"Hmm? Did I crush you?"
Qingjia's arms had no weight at all, but this level of intimacy was already beyond what Yu Qing could accept. Even her internal energy became disordered, and she couldn't imagine what she would do if he got any closer.
At this point tonight, thinking about everything that has happened recently, Yu Qingxin made up his mind and thought, if he can get ahead of himself, he will get hurt. Why not just make it clear today?
She has been thinking about it day and night these days, but she really can't find a suitable solution.
At present, there is only a simple and rough explanation. I don’t know whether Qingjia can accept it... The main thing is that it will be too painful to continue like this!
"Nothing... Are you going to sleep now?"
Qing Jia said, "I'm not particularly sleepy yet."
The sound of rain continued. Yu Qing said, "Well, I'm going to confess something to you, okay? You need to be prepared..."
Qing Jia was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "What is it? If you don't want to, you don't have to tell me."
"No, I still need to tell you, otherwise I will feel uneasy. Actually..." Yu Qing said resolutely.
Qing Jia said, "No, you don't have to say it."
Yu Qing said: "I have to say, I can't lie to you anymore, actually I——"
By now her eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and Qingjia, who had been leaning on her shoulder, was looking up at her in surprise.
"Actually, I got that old injury on the battlefield a few years ago," Yu Qing paused. "Military doctors are usually very crude and didn't treat me properly. I was left with that, a little hidden illness. I can't die, but I can't have sex..."
Qingjia: "..."
Yu Qing: “…”
She didn't want to make Qingjia feel disappointed, but she couldn't consummate their marriage. At the same time, she wanted to maintain this close relationship with her. She couldn't find the balance, so she decided to give up her dignity as a man - she wasn't a man anyway, so it didn't matter.
But she still overestimated her own shamelessness and became more and more embarrassed as she spoke. After all, it was not a glorious thing.
Qingjia was indeed stunned. Yu Qing's ears felt hot and he felt like finding a hole to crawl into. He didn't dare to think about the other person's mood at the moment and waited for her reaction anxiously. After a long time, he heard Qingjia burst out laughing.
Yu Qing: “?”
Made the princess laugh?
Qing Jia said softly, "Is that so? I thought it was something else."
Yu Qing: "What do you think it is?"
Qing Jia: "Well, I thought you wanted to say that you had a lover in the past. Or that you had a family outside the Great Wall."
Yu Qing: "...This is absolutely not the case."
"That's good, I don't care about anything else. I think you are...good like this." Qing Jia said.
Yu Qing: "Ah?"
"I'm a very timid person and I didn't really want to do that kind of thing. I'm afraid of other men except you," Qing Jia said softly. "Besides, I said before that I had no children, and the prince consort didn't blame me, right?"
Her answer was completely beyond Yu Qing's expectations. How could the princess accept it so easily?
Then why was I unable to sleep or eat well before?
Qing Jia said: "As long as you have me in your heart, it is enough for me."
She leaned over again and put her hands on Yu Qing's waist again. Yu Qing almost thought she was dreaming.
The huge rock in my heart fell to the ground so lightly.
Qingjia is her treasure, tender and loving, never holding grudges.
If it weren't for her, Yu Qing would have been alone for another ten or twenty years. But now she and the princess were snuggling together and whispering to each other, with her soft jade and warm fragrance, it was so comfortable.
The sound of rain gradually stopped, and Yu Qing hugged Qingjia and fell asleep.
Before closing her eyes, she thought to herself: Well, it feels good to be in such peaceful company with a woman.

Qiying woke up early the next morning and found that Yu Qing was nowhere to be found. After asking, she learned that the prince had gone to the princess in the middle of the night and had not returned all night. She was scared and went to deliver the court clothes in trepidation. When she arrived at Wenhua Garden, she found that Yu Qing was unharmed and was leaning next to Princess Qingjia, happily watching her dress up.
Qiying: “…”
The two of them had breakfast together. Before Yu Qing went to court, Princess Qingjia even put on her hair crown.
If a man were in this state, he would be completely immersed in the land of tenderness and lost.
Yu Qing was in a good mood the whole day.
Thinking back, she was too hasty to confess to Qingjia. Normally, she would think twice before acting, but people are always prone to impulsive behavior at night.
But she didn't expect that the problem would be solved so easily, which made her regret not telling Qingjia earlier and why she had to go through so many detours.
She didn't need a man's face anyway, and the princess wouldn't laugh at her.
As evening approached, she was returning from the Cavalry Camp. Thinking of Qingjia, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
The guard suddenly said, "General, look, that looks like the carriage from your house."
Yu Qing looked up and saw a familiar carriage parked at the city gate. The patterns on the body and hood were indeed from the Xuanbei Marquis's Mansion. Looking more closely, he saw that the driver in front was a servant of the Marquis's Mansion.
"Whoa!" She reined in her horse and stopped.
Before he could ask what was going on, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a hand, and a woman leaned out. Yu Qing asked in surprise, "Your Highness?"
She quickly jumped off the horse and came to the front of the carriage. Qing Jia smiled and said, "I wanted to see you earlier today, so I came here to wait."
The princess's eyes were as bright as autumn water, and Yu Qing almost took her arm and led her into the carriage... Then he remembered that he had left a group of people behind.
Yu Qing led the horse back and saw all the guards craning their necks to look over here with great interest. Yu Qing: "..."
Who wouldn't be curious about their boss's family affairs? Princess Qingjia usually lived in seclusion, and even the guards had never seen her. They only knew that their general had married a princess, but they had no idea whether she was ugly or beautiful, or what her temperament was.
"General, is that your Highness?"
"Is this a princess? Is this a fairy?"
"General, you are so lucky..."
Qingjia was far away and only showed her face briefly just now. Yu Qing estimated that half of them didn't even see her appearance clearly and were just there to make a fuss.
"That's enough!" Yu Qing scolded softly, then handed the horse to one of them, "Hey, take the horse back for me first."
"Yes, as you command," the guard said with a smile, "It seems the general and the princess have reconciled!"
Yu Qing was surprised: "What?"
"Hey, my brothers have noticed. A few days ago, you came in early and left late every day, and you were dawdling when you returned home. I understand. I was like this when I had a quarrel with my wife at home. I didn't dare to go back... It seems that the princess has forgiven you?"
Yu Qing: “…”
"When has there ever been any rift between the princess and me?" Yu Qing said stubbornly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Under the understanding gazes of the crowd, Yu Qing turned back and got on the carriage.
"Are they your guards?" Qing Jia asked, "What are you talking about? It's so lively."
Yu Qing touched the tip of his nose and said, "No, they just like to be in the spotlight."
Qingjia just smiled and said nothing.
Yu Qing looked at her for a while and said, "Hey, Your Highness, have you changed your lip balm?"
Qing Jia's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You can see that."
Yu Qing said: "It's a little different."
Qing Jia said: "Well, I'm using the new one you bought for me."
After entering the city gate, Yu Qing suddenly remembered something: "Your Highness said before that you wanted to go to Nanhu, right?"
She had been upset that she had not accepted Qingjia's invitation last time. Qingjia was rarely interested, but she couldn't make the trip.
Qing Jia said: "Well, wait until your next day off."
Yu Qing said, "That still requires a few days of waiting. I don't have anything to do today, and this place isn't far from Nanhu Lake. How about going for a walk?"
Qing Jia pondered for a moment: "But you've been busy all day, aren't you tired?"
Of course, Yu Qing didn't feel tired when playing with the princess, and he was full of energy.
"It's a good time to take a break from the busy schedule," Yu Qing said cheerfully. "It's a perfect time to go. I heard it's more beautiful at night, with the hustle and bustle of traffic."
Qing Jia said, "Okay then."
"Ah," Yu Qing suddenly remembered, "That's not going to work. The big ships over there have to be booked in advance, so I probably won't be able to book one if I go last minute."
She knew Qingjia didn't like crowds and wanted to charter a big boat to cruise the lake, so she said angrily, "Why don't we wait until I make a reservation and then we can go."
Qing Jia smiled and said, "Why do we need such a big boat? Let's go, it's okay to just take a stroll."
