Ye Qingxue quickly bent down to tie it.
Yun Zhuo suddenly grasped her hand.
Ye Qingxue looked up in confusion and saw a fire seemingly burning in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn with her.
However, Yun Zhuo simply took her hand and re-tied her belt.
Seeing his practiced movements, Ye Qingxue blurted out without thinking, "Does Your Highness often tie belts for young ladies?"
"...No, it's just that I've been on the battlefield for many years, so I learned these kinds of small things when I was very young. When soldiers are wounded and the military doctors are too busy, I also help bandage them."
Ye Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief; so that's how it is.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zhuo suddenly lowered his head, pressed his forehead against hers, his fingers still hooked around her belt, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's tied now, I'll untie it myself on our wedding night."
Ye Qingxue: "..." How come Prince Jing, who was blushing from her flirting before, is acting so strangely tonight?
Did he gradually become bolder because they were engaged and because she had taken the initiative to hold his hand?
Yun Zhuo's forehead was still pressed against hers, his breath hot, and Ye Qingxue felt as if she was about to melt from the heat emanating from him.
How did things get to this point...?
"...Shall we do something else now?" Ye Qingxue felt a little thirsty, probably because she had been soaking in the bath for too long and hadn't had a chance to drink water before Yun Zhuo arrived.
She licked her lips, her fingertips unconsciously tightening around Yun Zhuo's clothes.
Yun Zhuo was stunned, almost going crazy.
"Qingxue," he called her softly, his voice unusually low and hoarse.
Ye Qingxue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and before she could respond, Yun Zhuo's lips covered hers.
The warm touch was fleeting, as light as a snowflake landing on her lips, yet it burned her ears.
Yun Zhuo stepped back slightly, his eyes dark, as if observing her reaction.
Ye Qingxue's breathing became slightly erratic, and she lifted her eyelashes to meet his burning gaze.
He didn't laugh, only showed burning passion, and lowered his head to press his lips against hers again.
This time, it won't be a half-hearted attempt.
His hand cupped the back of her neck, his knuckles sinking into her loose hair, his lips lingering on hers, their breaths mingling.
Ye Qingxue's fingertips trembled slightly, but he grasped them with his other hand, interlocking their fingers and pressing them against her heart.
His heart was pounding so hard it made her palms burn.
Before anyone knew it, Ye Qingxue was forced onto a chair by him, and Yun Zhuo almost merged her into his body.
Ye Qingxue wrapped her arms around his neck.
Yun Zhuo's fingers hooked around her belt again, his fingertips lightly stroking the edge of the silk, as if measuring the distance, or as if testing her acquiescence.
But he didn't untie it in the end. Instead, he whispered a restrained sigh in Ye Qingxue's ear: "...The belt, let's wait until our wedding night to untie it. But...why is the wedding still so far away!"
Ye Qingxue chuckled softly.
...
After Yun Zhuo left, Ye Qingxue washed herself again. She was sweating and felt sticky and uncomfortable, so she changed her clothes again.
Granny Xing said, "Miss, you should go to sleep early. You have ointment on your body, so you need to sleep well so that the scars on your skin can be completely removed on your wedding day."
Ye Qingxue had been suffering from numerous injuries, both major and minor, and had never had a proper chance to treat them. Now that she finally had some free time, she could finally take care of her scars and prepare for her wedding.
Granny Xing couldn't help but say, "Prince Jing came to see Miss so late... I suppose it's because young men are full of vigor and couldn't resist."
"But even under such circumstances, he did not just pick any woman in the Prince's mansion. He still restrained himself in front of the young lady, which shows that he is a good man to whom one can entrust one's life."
She was very worried at the time. Yun Zhuo and Ye Qingxue had gotten married ahead of schedule. The young woman had lost her virginity before marriage, and she was afraid that something might happen in the future.
Fortunately, Yun Zhuo didn't do that, otherwise she definitely would have come out to interrupt.
Ye Qingxue rubbed her red lips. She had been taking good care of herself at home recently and hadn't gone out. She hadn't expected Yun Zhuo to come just as she was about to fall asleep.
But it must be said that kissing Yun Zhuo was truly unforgettable; she was very happy and enjoyed it very much!
“He said he doesn’t have any other women,” Ye Qingxue said.
"Won't it have happened before, and won't it happen again? He's a prince, after all. The emperor or the virtuous concubine will bring more women into his courtyard to produce offspring for the royal family," Granny Xing said with a smile.
"..." Ye Qingxue suppressed her anger and said, "That sounds despicable. Does he want to have more women and have more offspring? I'll ask him later and see if that's what he's thinking!"
