He could still clearly see the tiny white hairs on her face, which flickered faintly in the candlelight.
Her curled eyelashes in the candlelight trembled slightly like butterfly wings, and his heart seemed to tremble along with them.
Su Jingyao's expression was focused and serious when she applied the ointment, and her movements were light and gentle, making Jun Zechen feel a coolness on the skin under his eyes, which was extremely comfortable.
His eyes involuntarily fell on her exquisite and beautiful face, as if attracted by an invisible force and unable to look away.
After Su Jingyao finished applying the cream, she parted her red lips and said softly, "Your Highness will have to attend court tomorrow morning. I noticed your beard has grown a bit long, so I'll shave it for you."
While Jun Zechen was soaking his feet, he was immersed in the comfortable feeling because of her gentle actions just now.
He nodded slightly, a hint of laziness and satisfaction showing on his face, and gently closed his eyes, as if he completely trusted Su Jingyao.
Su Jingyao carefully and gently applied the beard softening ointment around his lips.
This was the first time a woman shaved Jun Zechen's beard. In the past, it was Anshun who took care of his beard.
Ling Yue has a bold and unrestrained personality and never cares about these details. He has long been accustomed to An Shun's service.
Su Jingyao's jade hands were as soft as catkins and as smooth as silk.
As the cream was applied on his face, Jun Zechen felt extremely comfortable. He enjoyed it to the fullest, closing his eyes tightly, with the corners of his mouth unconsciously rising slightly.
Seeing this, Su Jingyao couldn't help but complain in her heart.
This dog man is the first person she has served in this way. I really don’t believe that there is any man who doesn’t like this gentle place.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao skillfully picked up the copper knife that was polished to be as thin as a cicada's wing and began to shave Jun Zechen.
After shaving, she picked up the towel and put it in the basin on the cabinet, wrung it gently, and then gently washed his face.
After everything was done, the two of them slowly walked towards the bed.
This time, Jun Zechen still chose to sleep on the outside, while Su Jingyao slept peacefully on the inside.
The two of them were each covered with a thin silk quilt and fell asleep quietly.
The candle flame was more than half burned. It was the season between spring and summer, and it was rainy. The sound of rain began to be heard outside the house.
suddenly.
With a loud "boom", thunder broke through the air and Su Jingyao was awakened instantly.
In panic, she covered most of her face with the quilt, her small hands tightly grasping the thin quilt, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.
Jun Zechen was also awakened by the thunder. Just as he was about to go back to sleep, the trembling of the woman next to him prevented him from falling asleep again. He was a very light sleeper to begin with.
He frowned slightly and asked softly, "Afraid?"
When Su Jingyao heard the voice, she was shocked and surprised that he would actually speak on his own initiative.
She responded softly: "Your Highness, I want to go to the side hall."
"Why?" Jun Zechen looked puzzled.
"I have been afraid of thunder since I was a child. I will go to the side hall and ask Madam Li to accompany me to sleep."
Su Jingyao's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. She seemed a little embarrassed, afraid that the man would think she was being too pretentious.
"If you leave now, what will the people in the palace say about you tomorrow? If my mother knew, wouldn't she blame me because of you?" Jun Zechen said in a flat tone.
"But...I'm afraid."
Su Jingyao turned around timidly, her eyes full of fear and grievance, looking particularly pitiful under the dim candlelight.
"come over."
Su Jingyao hesitated for a moment, frowning slightly. Is this what she thought it meant?
Then she cautiously tried to move her body over.
She clung tightly to the man's strong arms, as if they were her only support in the stormy sea.
Seeing that he did not refuse, Su Jingyao felt a little relieved. She quietly got into his quilt, pressed her body tightly against his arm, and rested her head gently on his shoulder.
She opened her red lips slightly, and a fragrance like orchid wafted out: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Jun Zechen didn't know why he was so gentle to her. Perhaps it was her pure and kind character, or perhaps it was her innocent and careless nature that always made him feel pity for her, and even a little distressed.
Su Jingyao felt the warmth of the man beside her, the fear in her heart gradually dissipated, and she fell into a deep sleep again.
However, Jun Zechen still couldn't fall asleep.
The woman's delicate body was like a sweet torture, making his body even hotter.
Her body still exuded bursts of fragrance, mixed with a hint of sweetness, like an invisible charm, tempting him to hug her tightly and fall asleep.
The more Jun Zechen tried to endure, the harder it was for him to fall asleep. Finally, he involuntarily pulled his hand out of the woman's arms, then tightly hugged her slender waist and gently held her in his arms.
With his arms filled with warmth and softness, surrounded by the lingering fragrance, he finally fell asleep slowly.
The smile on Su Jingyao's face in her arms became more and more smug. Didn't she hate the pitiful, delicate and pretentious girls from wealthy families?
Oh.
