Although he had long been aware of her feelings for him, she never said anything and kept them hidden in her heart, which frustrated him greatly.
He sighed softly, raised his hand to stroke her face, "I miss you so much, so much..." He paused, then suddenly leaned close to her ear, his warm breath tickling her.
Just as she was about to dodge, the man's ambiguous voice fell on her ear, "...My body aches."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yingying blushed so deeply that it seemed as if blood was about to drip from her face. Her long, fan-like eyelashes fluttered, and she looked at him helplessly.
Wen Tingyun's eyes suddenly darkened. He leaned down and kissed her lips. At the same time, his hands were not idle. He skillfully untied her sash.
As Lu Yingying was almost lost in the kiss, she placed her hand on his shoulder and reminded him softly, "You haven't bathed yet..."
"You'll sweat anyway, you can just take a shower later." Wen Tingyun said in a hoarse voice, then raised his hand and pulled down the curtain.
...
The next day.
Madam Xu sent Ding Mama to the Prince of Xiang's residence to take care of Wen Nong Nong's daily life.
Wen Nongnong was used to being served by Lüqiao alone, and suddenly having another person by her side made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't want to refuse Madam Xu's kindness, so she accepted Ding Mama.
It is undeniable that Ding's mother is indeed very experienced.
As soon as she arrived, she managed to keep the servants in the courtyard in check.
Some things that could be harmful to the fetus were removed early on.
Even the meals prepared by the cooks for Wen Nong Nong were supervised by Ding's mother throughout the entire process to ensure they didn't make any mistakes.
They were only allowed to eat light meals suitable for pregnant women.
Thanks to Ding's mother, Lü Qiao has become much more relaxed.
That day, while Wen Nong Nong was taking a nap, Lü Qiao went back to her room to get something and then found Si Yi.
Today, Wen Tingyun and Wen Tingyun came to the Prince's Mansion. They are currently discussing important matters with Gu Linchao in the study. Si Yiyi is guarding outside the study as always.
Sensing someone approaching, he looked over sharply, but when he saw that it was Lü Qiao, he was surprised for a moment, then a faint smile flashed in his eyes, "Why are you here? Is something the Princess has to do?"
Green Fairy stopped in front of him with her hands behind her back and shook her head. "No."
"Then you..." Si Yi asked in confusion, but before he could finish speaking, Lü Qiao suddenly stuffed something into his hand. "This is for you."
Si was taken aback and was about to look down when Lü Qiao hurriedly said, "Look at it after I leave."
Si Yi looked at her, puzzled. "Why?"
Greenie stamped her foot lightly, "Why are you asking so many questions?" With that, she turned and ran away in a flash.
Si Yi looked completely bewildered.
He only looked down at what he was holding after she was out of sight.
When he realized that what he was holding was a sachet, he paused, picked it up, and examined it for a moment.
Why would I give him this?
He doesn't use sachets, yet he acts all mysterious; I wondered what it was all about.
However, since it was given to him by Lü Qiao, he reluctantly accepted it.
He was about to put the sachet into his pocket when he remembered something and paused.
He remembered that Lü Qiao had said that she was very good at needlework, and that a few days ago a maid had also made a sachet to give him...
So she suddenly made a sachet and gave it to him, but was it because of what happened that day?
Was that girl, Lü Qiao, jealous, or was she showing off her cooking skills to him?
Regardless of which level of consciousness it was, it brought Si Yi pleasure.
He couldn't resist taking the sachet out of his arms again.
However, at that moment, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and snatched the sachet from his hand.
He was startled and immediately turned around, only to see Wang Houde.
He said with a gloomy expression, "Give it back to me right now."
Wang Houde shook the sachet in his hand and clicked his tongue, saying, "This sachet is embroidered so well. Just look at the fine stitches. You can tell that the person who made this sachet has excellent skills and put a lot of effort into it."
But why embroider two mandarin ducks with their necks intertwined?
Si Yi was taken aback when he heard this. Was it a pair of mandarin ducks?
He thought they were just two ordinary birds and never expected this.
Wang Houde returned the sachet to him, smiling as he said, "You're quite the lucky guy, isn't this made for you by Lü Qiao?"
Si Yi put the sachet back into his pocket and changed the subject, saying, "Did you choose the date I asked you to pick?"
Wang Houde nodded. "Look carefully, the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day. Once you're ready, just propose to the Princess directly."
Upon hearing this, Si Yi gripped his sword tighter and nodded, "Understood."
Wang Houde said with emotion, "I never expected that you and that girl Lüqiao would be so destined for each other. It's good that you two get married in the future. One of you can serve the prince, and the other can serve the princess. It's quite suitable."
Si Yi looked at him and couldn't help but say, "You're not young anymore, why don't you let the princess pick a suitable person for you?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Wang Houde choked on his own saliva and stared at him incredulously, "What nonsense are you talking about? A man like me doesn't need to get married. I'd only be a burden to other people."
Si Yi, holding his sword, glanced at him indifferently and sneered, "What kind of person are you?"
Wang Houde felt a chill run down his spine and slunk away.
As soon as Wang Houde left, Si Yi took out the sachet from his bosom again.
Looking at the mandarin ducks embroidered on the sachet, a smile appeared in his dark eyes, but then he quickly pursed his lips again, as if thinking of something.
How could he possibly wear such a beautifully embroidered sachet out in public?
Couldn't she embroider other patterns?
Si Yi became somewhat troubled.
That evening, after serving Wen Nong Nong, Lü Qiao returned to her own room.
She unbuttoned her dress, about to take a bath, when suddenly there was a short knock on the door.
She recognized the sound of the knocking; only Si would knock like that.
She looked down at her disheveled appearance, her face flushed, and she didn't understand why Si Yi would come at such a late hour. So she pretended not to hear and didn't open the door.
But then, Si Yi's deep voice came from outside the door, "If you don't open the door, I'll come in myself."
Startled, Lü Qiao hurriedly closed her clothes and rushed over to open the door.
The door opened, and sure enough, it was Si Yi.
"What are you doing here?" She pressed down on the door panel, frowning as she looked at him.
Si Yi pushed the door open. "Let me in so we can talk."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao looked at him warily, "Whatever it is, just say it like this, there's no need to come in."
Late at night, a man and a woman are alone in a room. What is this guy thinking?
He used to always tell her that men and women shouldn't touch each other, so what is he doing now?
Si Yi was almost amused by her guarded look. He lowered his head, his dark eyes fixed on her, and asked, "What do you think I'm going to do?"
"In the dead of night, who would know?" He suddenly leaned closer, and Greenie blushed, saying weakly.
"If you don't let me in, I'll shout." Si Yi looked at her calmly.
Green Beauty: "..."
She stared at him in disbelief.
