"Your Highness, don't you know how to start? You should have seen the fire avoidance map before you got married, right? If you don't remember it, you can find it and I will look at it with you." Chen Xueying deliberately provoked him.
The man stiffened, immediately glared at her, and said viciously: "Shut up!"
He lowered his head, got close to her, put his lips close to her neck, and breathed hot breath on her.
The palms of his hands held her shoulders, and they seemed to be crushed with a slight force.
"Hey, be gentle!" Her shoulder throbbed, she took a breath and couldn't help but kick him.
This kicking action brought the two of them into closer contact.
As if he had been stimulated by something, the man suddenly retracted his hand and froze in place.
He raised his hands high and kept completely away from Chen Xueying, as if she was fragile and untouchable.
But at the same time, this action is very similar to raising your hands in surrender.
Chen Xueying chuckled, her laughter getting louder and louder, her whole body trembling with laughter.
Lu Zhao had a cold face and reprimanded in a low voice: "What's so funny!"
She slowly stopped smiling, kicked her legs, and said innocently: "Lu Zhao, you poked me."
The man was startled. Before he could think about it, he had already responded automatically and got out of bed.
The fast one seemed to have encountered a savage beast and was unable to avoid it.
"It should be a dagger, right? Where did His Highness hide the dagger?" She propped up her upper body and kept scanning his body with her eyes, a curious expression on her face, as if she was really looking for the dagger.
"Well, Lu Zhao, you said you wanted to get married, but you actually wanted to assassinate me with a hidden dagger!" She deliberately misinterpreted, with an angry expression on her face.
"Shut up!"
His voice was cold, but his body was hot, and the roots of his ears were so red that they were about to burn.
He noticed the glance in her eyes and regretted that he was dressed like this. His chest, which was not covered by fabric, felt like it was scratched by feathers, which was itchy and uncomfortable.
Chen Xueying was lying on her side, supporting the side of her face with one hand. Her clothes were messy, and her green and black hair was tangled with her fair skin, making her figure even more charming.
Under the candlelight, she looks like a cannibalistic female temptress, making people afraid to look at her for fear that their souls will be taken away.
She looked at Lu Zhao leisurely, tangled her fingers in the tail of her hair, and said casually: "Your Highness has a beautiful idea, but he can't even achieve a small goal, so go to the bridal chamber in your dream!"
Lu Zhao clenched his fists uncomfortably. In fact, he wanted to rub his ears. Both ears were red, congested, and itchy.
But Chen Xueying was staring at him at the moment, and all his movements were invisible, so she still held back to avoid being laughed at by her again.
"The Crown Princess is too worried. Gu Ye said that she will not have sex with you. It was just a joke." He said in a cold voice.
It sounded very ruthless, but he didn't look at Chen Xueying at all.
"Your Highness should look at me and say this, otherwise your red ears will be exposed." Chen Xueying said lightly.
Lu Zhao immediately turned his head, and when he saw her half-smiling expression, his expression darkened.
"Gu Cong is like a small stove when he is born, especially after taking a bath. Not only his ears are red, but his body is also prone to redness. It is a natural phenomenon. Princess, please don't think too much." He explained in a calm tone.
Chen Xueying raised her eyebrows, feeling a little regretful that she could still be so calm after being exposed by her. Her mental quality was indeed good enough.
"Whatever the prince says is whatever he says. I have rested in peace, you can do whatever you want." She shook her hand at him, then lay down peacefully, closed her eyes and prepared to fall asleep.
Lu Zhao looked at her sleeping posture and gritted his teeth secretly, always feeling that he had lost inexplicably.
Obviously they didn't have a duel just now, let alone a fight, but the feeling of frustration in their hearts was very obvious.
He could only attribute it to the fact that his secret struggle did not achieve the desired results.
Facing his deliberate closeness and ambiguity, Chen Xueying, as a woman, was not ashamed at all. On the contrary, she was even more enthusiastic than him.
But it's not unexpected, after all, she can't use common sense to infer.
He turned around and left, that's all. He couldn't afford to offend her, so he just went to sleep in the west hall.
But after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and saw the woman on the bed curling her lips, apparently hearing his retreating footsteps, with a victorious smile on her face.
Lu Zhao came back again, how could he be willing to do so?
If he went to the west side hall, she would really feel scared.
There was no word "withdraw" in the life history of the Northern Qi Prince, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he was asked to go to bed.
When I got entangled with her just now, something was wrong with my body, and I still feel uncomfortable thinking about it.
He has been on the verge of death all year round. Whether he is snatching the crown prince's position from his brothers or rushing to the battlefield to fight, he remains absolutely vigilant. The first condition is to have complete control over his body.
But at that moment before, he couldn't control it at all. When the passion surged up, he wanted to regain his composure, but he couldn't. This was what made him afraid.
In the end, he still held the brocade quilt and beat him to the floor. At least he didn't leave the dormitory, so he didn't lose.
After a period of rustling sounds, silence returned to the main hall.
Chen Xueying quietly opened her eyes and saw the figure of a man laying on the floor not far from the bed.
The corner of her mouth raised slightly, and besides feeling a little funny, she also felt a little uneasy for some reason.
They both fell asleep quickly. Too many things happened tonight and they were so exhausted that it was easy to fall asleep.
In the middle of the night, Lu Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and heard a faint sound.
Turning around, he saw Chen Xueying struggling on the bed, shaking her head as if to avoid something.
"Chen Xueying." He called out, but received no response.
Lu Zhao stood up and walked to the bedside. He saw her eyes closed tightly, her brows furrowed, and she seemed to be saying something.
"Old pervert, old pervert..."
He leaned closer and heard her keep repeating these three words, which were obviously not good words. And when he heard the word "old", he guessed that these words must be scolding Lu Wuji.
It was obvious that she was frightened.
Even in the underground martial arts training ground, she stepped forward to help the fourth prince out of trouble and stopped him from directly confronting Lu Wuji in time, acting decisively like a heroine.
But the melee between the wolves in the martial arts field and the bloody battle that followed shocked her, but she just endured it and didn't show it.
She thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night, and now she had nightmares.
"Chen Xueying, wake up." He called softly again.
But she was addicted to nightmares and couldn't wake up for a while.
Lu Zhao had no choice but to push it with his hands.
Having nightmares all the time is not a good thing.
His hand gently pushed her shoulder, and before she could wake her up, he was suddenly held by her.
As if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she clenched it tightly, then gritted her teeth tightly and grinded her teeth hard before relaxing in vain.
Lu Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the sweat on her face, he couldn't help but want to wipe it for her.
If this picky and clean-loving princess goes to bed with sweat like this, I'm afraid she will have to complain and even scold her when she wakes up early tomorrow morning.
But when he wanted to withdraw his hand, Chen Xueying hugged him again, frowning slightly and humming, obviously not wanting him to leave.
At first, Lu Zhao thought it was because of his own sentimentality. After all, he had been ridiculed by Chen Xueying several times, trying to put gold on his face, and he really didn't want to bear this bad reputation in her sleep.
He tried a few more times, but every time he tried to pull away, she held her tightly, as if some mechanism had been installed.
The man sighed helplessly: "Chen Xueying, you are not ashamed, you still hold Gu's hand in your sleep."
The woman didn't respond.
"Let go first and go get the handkerchief." He changed his tone, obviously trying to persuade, but it still had no effect.
Lu Zhao had no choice but to stare at her.
Chen Xueying has red lips and white teeth, and her face is like a silver plate. She has a good appearance.
It's just that she usually has a very powerful mouth and is always unforgiving. People only focus on her strength and don't dare to look at her beauty.
At this moment, she was asleep and extremely quiet, completely showing the appearance of a quiet beauty.
He couldn't help but chuckle: "When you fall asleep, you are a good sleeper."
In the early morning, Ye Jing and Hua Rong were lying outside the door, listening carefully to what was going on inside.
Li De couldn't help but cough lightly, and when the two of them looked over, he lowered his voice and said, "You two girls, it's not time yet, don't be in a hurry."
"Why isn't it time yet? It's already bright outside. Doesn't His Highness the Crown Prince need to go to court early?" Ye Jing couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness will have a rest today." Li De replied.
In fact, Lu Zhao got up quite late today. Even if he was sleeping, as the crown prince of a country, he still insisted on getting up early.
It was obviously a lot late today, but considering that the two of them had sex last night, they must have been doing couple things, so they were inevitably tired.
Ye Jing and Hua Rong looked at each other, hesitantly.
Do I need to call this out?
While they were hesitating, they heard a scream coming from the hall, and the two of them immediately opened the door and went in.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Ye Jing took the lead, she was afraid that Chen Xueying would suffer a loss.
However, after rushing in, they found that the two of them were well-dressed and nothing happened.
"Get out." Lu Zhao frowned and said coldly.
Ye Jing and Hua Rong didn't dare to say anything. Seeing that Chen Xueying didn't say anything to persuade her to stay, they both shrunk their necks and retreated.
Chen Xueying suddenly woke up due to the urge to pee. She struggled to get up and wanted to go to the bathroom. When she opened her eyes, she saw someone sitting next to the bed, and she screamed in fright.
"Why are you here?" She glared at him dissatisfied: "Sitting on the edge of the bed like a wandering ghost."
Lu Zhao sneered: "Who is the wandering soul? I have nightmares in the middle of the night. I have to hold Gu's hand to sleep, and I won't let him go at all."
He shook his hand, which was still tightly held in her hand.
Only then did Chen Xueying react and immediately let go. She watched the man beat his shoulders and do some relaxing exercises. It was obvious that being held motionless for most of the night was really uncomfortable.
"You didn't sleep afterwards, so you just sat by the bed and waited?" Chen Xueying asked in disbelief.
"I don't want you to, but you refuse to let go. If I wake you up, given the princess's character, I'm afraid I'll be doomed again." Lu Zhao raised his eyebrows and said in a neutral tone.
"I don't believe it. When did His Highness the Crown Prince become so considerate? Shouldn't he be against me?"
She raised her chin slightly, assuming a proud posture, but the corners of her lips were raised, but she was still happy in her heart.
No matter what the reason was, the Prince of Northern Qi really sat by the bed and waited for half the night, expressing his attitude with practical actions, which was more impressive than rhetoric.
"Didn't you feel that the favor returned to me last night was too light? It should be evened out this time, right?" He stood up, pinched his numb fingers, consciously walked to the bedding from last night, and bent down Put away all the brocade quilts.
Chen Xueying suddenly felt very good, and at the same time she found that he was very awkward.
Since he was holding her hand, he could just lie down next to her. The bed was spacious enough anyway, but he managed to endure it, and his shaft was hurting.
After the two of them washed up, they began to have breakfast.
Lu Zhao once again saw her pickiness. It was clear that there was only one more princess, but the entire harem seemed to be filled to the brim with palace people walking around.
Various exquisite breakfasts were served to the table one by one.
Chen Xueying was sitting on a chair, with Hua Rong standing next to her, and she was concentrating on serving her dishes.
Ye Jing also stood aside and comforted Chen Xueying in a soft voice: "Princess, this lotus seed soup was originally intended to be served with cherry cake, and the flavor is just right. Unfortunately, there are no cherries in the East Palace, so I can't make this dessert. I can only feel aggrieved." You."
"Also, this Sydney pear and white fungus soup must be added with pear sugar. The taste is corrected. Time is tight. The small kitchen has no time to cook it, so I made do with sugar cubes. Can you see if it can still be eaten?"
Every time Hua Rong served a dish, Ye Jing stood beside her and pointed out at least two or three shortcomings. Everything reflected the poverty of the East Palace. Those who didn't know better thought that their master and servant had joined the Beggar Clan.
Lu Zhao happened to serve himself a bowl of white fungus soup. He took a spoonful and tasted it. He felt that it was slightly sweet but not overpowering. It tasted better than the previous one. It must have been recommended by Chen Xueying's maids.
"Teach the East Palace cooks more when you have time, so that the prince will not eat so poorly every day." Chen Xueying nodded.
After taking a few mouthfuls, she put down the bowl and chopsticks and gave Ye Jing a warning.
"It's good to eat alone." He answered calmly, seemingly disapproving of it.
Chen Xueying sneered: "Your Highness is easy to feed, even if the pig food is placed here, you can eat a full belly."
"Tsk!" Lu Zhao frowned and said dissatisfied: "You were so picky just now, but I didn't even say a word. Why is it that when it's your turn, you carry a gun and a stick as soon as you open your mouth? Can you speak properly?"
"I am also kind-hearted and considerate of you. You eat simple meals, wear coarse clothes, and sleep on a shabby bed in a shabby house. Others only care about whether you fly high or not, but I am the only one who worries about whether you are tired from living. I take the initiative To show your kindness, you actually showed a cold face. The last person who treated me like this had his own face swollen."
"Not only did I not slap you, but I just said a few sarcastic words. Your Highness should be glad that I have deep feelings for you. A dog bites Lu Dongbin and does not recognize a good heart."
She curled her lips and rolled her eyes, as if she didn't want to pay attention to him.
Lu Zhao paused while drinking the soup, and a thought came to his mind subconsciously: Ah, are you so ignorant?
It seems so.
Then he reacted and immediately shook his head to get rid of the water in his head.
Chen Xueying's brainwashing skills are getting stronger and stronger, what a piece of shit!
"You were kind to me, but I was scolded away before I could feel it. The princess is most lovable when she is asleep."
"I don't care what you like!" She replied subconsciously, refusing pua.
However, when he mentioned falling asleep, she remembered that when she opened her eyes, she saw him sitting by the bed guarding her, and her heart suddenly softened a little.
"Well, you performed well last night, but I don't know you. Ye Jing, you can talk to the East Palace cook in detail later and pass on some pastry recipes that the prince likes to eat to the small kitchen. Anyway, a good thing has been done. , As for this kindness, His Highness the Prince will accept it or not. If he doesn’t eat it, make the cakes and feed them to the wolves!"
She doesn't mind taking the initiative to give some sweetness, of course, this sweetness is really too big for her.
Lu Zhao swallowed the porridge in his mouth, was silent for a moment, and said in a serious tone: "I have to read the memorial today, so I will get hungry easily. Li De, please prepare the kitchen and send it to the study."
Obviously, he was very grateful for this kindness.
Normally, he would have accepted it silently without saying much, but at this moment he expressed his stance directly.
Although he didn't say the word "thank you", to him, it already contained a lot of gratitude.
Chen Xueying curled her lips and said no more.
She knew that a cold-blooded and powerful man like Lu Zhao didn't actually need anything valuable. On the contrary, it was this kind of detail that moved him.
Because he was in dire straits, with everyone around him plotting against and tormenting him, there were almost no people who could truly only think about him.
Of course, this is not a gift from anyone, he is very rare.
If he failed to establish a certain foundation of emotional communication and trust with him, and wanted to win his heart with such a small favor, the prince of Northern Qi could go over and cut off the other person's head with his backhand.
Chen Xueying only does the most appropriate things at the right time, and she can make big gains with small things.
After breakfast, the two went their separate ways.
Chen Xueying got on the sedan chair and went straight to Hailang Hall.
"Princess, the Fourth Highness fell ill after he came back. He had a fever all night last night and the temperature went down this morning. But he is still unconscious." The eunuch of Hailang Palace came to report immediately.
Chen Xueying frowned slightly: "What did the imperial doctor say?"
"The imperial doctor has prescribed the medicine and the medicine is ready. However, His Highness the Fourth Prince refuses to open his mouth to drink the medicine. Please go in and take a look."
Before she walked in, she smelled the smell of medicine. Someone from the palace was in front of the bed, carefully persuading him to drink medicine.
But Lu Qingyue never replied.
The originally rebellious young man was lying motionless on the bed.
He was obviously still a little hot, his cheeks were red, but his lips were pale and chapped, almost burning.
"I've come here to give him medicine several times, haven't you learned yet? He doesn't have eyes or hands. Just pinch his nose and he can drink it even if it's yellow lotus water!" Chen Xueying said in a bad tone. scolded.
The people in the palace knelt down to apologize, but no one dared to take action. They were still afraid that the fourth prince would go crazy.
Chen Xueying rolled her eyes. The wolf cub was so beaten that he looked half-dead. How could he still have the strength to go crazy?
"Go and ask for a bowl of rice porridge first. He won't be able to go without food for a long time."
She motioned for Ye Jing to come forward. One of the master and the servant pinched his nose, and the other held a spoon and fed him porridge. A bowl of porridge was quickly eaten.
After waiting for two cups of tea, she drank the medicine again.
Seeing the fourth prince frowning even in his sleep, Chen Xueying felt uncomfortable.
In this state, there is no hint of the wildness of the wolf cub in the past. He really looks like a drowned dog that has been severely beaten. He looks extremely pitiful.
"Fourth brother, you have to grit your teeth and hold on, it's better to die than live. Not all of your wolves are dead, there are still a few panting, waiting for you to take care of them. If you are gone, there will be no one Ignore them, when the time comes, you step with your front feet, and they will follow with their rear feet!"
"The most important thing is that I intervened in the bloody battle last night and tried my best to smooth things over for you. If you die without knowing what to do, who will repay the favor you owe me! Live well, do you hear me? "
She was afraid that he would lose his fighting spirit and wouldn't be able to hold on any longer, so she specially said some harsh words to stimulate him.
When he looked up, he saw the astonished expressions on the faces of several palace officials. It was obvious that they did not expect the Crown Princess to behave like this. To comfort a seriously ill person and say such words was comparable to a curse.
Chen Xueying waved her hand and said confidently: "This is called fighting poison with poison. The fourth brother is different from ordinary people. He doesn't like soft words, but likes strong winds and rain."
It sounds like complete nonsense at first glance to focus on a weak character, but the fourth prince at least gave some reaction.
His brows were furrowed tighter than before. :,,
