After all, they still have a long, long future.
After the two chatted about life events in a relaxed manner, Yan Xi took the little girl to catch up on her sleep.
Of course, it ended up with the two of them lying together.
Logically speaking, before marriage, even if you already have a status, you should not be so affectionate.
But you can't expect Gardenia to care about rules.
And Yan Xi was happy to indulge her, feeling that she had been used as a humanoid pillow in the past.
In the end, he didn't know whether it was the side effect of the medicine or the comfort of holding the little girl, so he fell asleep.
It wasn't until the evening when Ding Jue heard the news from the palace and came to pick them up that the two of them woke up.
Yan Xi walked to the window and took a look, then went over to wake the little girl up.
"Your Highness, it's time for you to return to the palace."
Seeing her getting up with a sleepy look on her face, she slowly dressed herself. Yan Xi, who had already packed herself, thought about it and couldn't help but speak.
"Let me do it."
Gardenia tilted her head, expressing her happiness that someone was willing to help, and the next second she gave him the clothes in her hand.
After all, she is a princess, so even ordinary clothes are still made according to specific specifications. Although they are exquisite and beautiful, it is very troublesome to put them on piece by piece.
Yan Xi pursed her lips, took the clothes and put them on for her, feeling a little confused for a moment.
They really look like a couple.
Fortunately, he was skilled in movements and thoughtful, and even though he was a little stunned, he successfully helped the little girl get dressed.
After a while, he turned around and brought a sachet over, tied it around her waist, and lowered his eyes.
"I made this myself. If Your Highness doesn't mind it, you can wear it from time to time. The medicinal materials in it will help calm your nerves."
In the country of Nuzun, women only wear jade pendants that match their status around their waists. If they have a family, they will add a sachet made by their husband or servant.
Gardenia's harem has always been empty, so naturally it has never been given away.
If you wear it like this, it is equivalent to showing that you have someone in your harem.
The little girl looked down and saw a small word embroidered on the back of the sachet.
She nodded obediently.
"I'll wear it."
When Ding Jue opened the door, he saw this scene.
In the orange light rendered by the sunset, the slender beauty lowered her head slightly and concentrated on tying the sachet for the person in front of her.
The two of them are almost hugging each other, and the picture is beautiful and harmonious.
Hearing the door being pushed open, Gardenia looked at her in confusion.
"What are you standing there for?"
The maid was silent for two seconds, closed the door silently, and stood outside the door thinking about life.
She hadn't been with His Highness for just a week, so how come the two of them had already reached this point?
It's like you've been worried that your daughter is too old to fall in love, but a few days later she suddenly comes back with someone and says she wants to get married.
Ding Jue didn't understand and was shocked.
It wasn't until the two of them were on their way back to the palace that she couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness, you and Mr. Yan..."
Gardenia blinked her eyes and answered honestly.
"I was about to tell you that I will go to the Queen Mother's Palace later to ask the Queen Mother to confer marriage."
"……OK."
…
On the second day, word spread among the ladies and gentlemen who attended the banquet of His Highness the Third Prince yesterday.
It was said that Yan Xi went to attend the banquet and was made trouble, and was picked up by the princess who rushed over on the way.
There is no need to explain the meaning, everyone already knows it.
But before she had time to think about the complicated relationship between the two princesses, she was caught off guard and knocked unconscious by two imperial edicts.
It was an imperial edict announcing that the Crown Princess would ascend the throne on that day, and it also came down with the conferment of marriage to Yan Xi.
