Bai Yanqing had just woken up, but her head was still confused. It was normal for her reaction to be slower.
However, when Bai Yanqing thought about Yun Ji's words several times, she naturally understood what Yun Ji said!
What Bai Yanqing couldn't figure out was not that the emperor suddenly issued an order to marry herself to Yunqi. But, it was clear that Yun Ji had made such a big fuss before just to marry him. Why would Yun Ji be so happy now that he was given a marriage to Yun Qi?
Bai Yanqing tried to find a trace of sadness on Yun Ji's face, even if it was regret, but... there was nothing except joy! Nothing else!
This made Bai Yanqing a little depressed!
"Third Prince, why are you so happy?"
Bai Yanqing still couldn't hold it back and asked.
Yun Ji was stunned, maybe he didn't expect that Bai Yanqing would suddenly ask this question.
"Of course the third prince is happy. If he hadn't wanted you, the eldest prince wouldn't have asked the emperor to betroth you to the eldest prince."
Cai Xing came in with porridge at the right time. Seeing that Yun Ji only had good things to say, Tun couldn't help but speak and directly exposed Yun Ji.
Ever since Cai Xing saw with his own eyes that Yun Ji was fooling around in front of the emperor in order not to marry Bai Yanqing, Cai Xing disliked Yun Ji even more!
Bai Yanqing was seriously ill and did not wake up. What Yun Ji thought of was not how to save her. Instead, he looked like he couldn't wait to establish a clear relationship with Bai Yanqing! How can one not feel chilled by what he has done?
"Miss, please drink the porridge first. When you have some strength, I will talk to you slowly."
Cai Xing spoke to Bai Yanqing gently, then filled up the warm porridge and brought it to Bai Yanqing.
Cai Xing naturally knew that at this time, Bai Yanqing must have a lot of questions that she wanted to ask! However, Bai Yanqing is still weak, and it is not appropriate to be overtired at this time. Cai Xing doesn't want these little things from Yun Ji to affect Bai Yanqing's recovery!
"Let me do it!"
Yunqi took the porridge bowl from Caixing's hand and said hoarsely.
When Cai Xing saw this, he didn't show any pretense and handed the bowl directly to Yun Qi! After observing these days, Caixing felt that Yunqi was much more reliable than Yunji!
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Yun Ji felt very bored, so he could only retreat in embarrassment!
Yunqi scooped up the warm porridge with a spoon and carefully brought it to Bai Yanqing's lips. Bai Yanqing didn't show any pretense, she opened her mouth, held the spoon in her mouth, and drank the porridge.
The two of them went back and forth like this, one feeding and the other drinking. After a while, they finished a bowl of porridge.
Seeing this, Cai Xing took the bowl and was about to serve another bowl for Bai Yanqing, but Yun Qi reached out to stop him!
"She just woke up and her spleen and stomach haven't recovered yet, so she shouldn't eat too much."
Hearing this, Cai Xing understood. Seeing Bai Yanqing again, she didn't seem to be resisting Yun Qi, so Cai Xing calmly took the dishes and retreated.
Before leaving, Cai Xing said, "Miss, my servant is outside. If you need anything urgent, just call me." It was as if she was afraid that Yun Qi would bully Bai Yanqing.
Yun Ji left, Cai Xing also left. In the huge dormitory, only Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi were left, and an awkward atmosphere spread between them.
"I……"
"I……"
"You speak first……"
"Your Highness, let's talk first..."
The two struggled for a long time, and finally decided to speak, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
"I'm sorry, it was my recklessness that caused you to fall into the water!"
Yunqi apologized.
"You were the one who saved me, weren't you?"
Bai Yanqing never minded this.
"It's just that I have a question."
Bai Yanqing paused and then said.
"You ask."
Yunqi responded.
"Why didn't you... let your entourage go into the water to rescue us? If he had gone into the water at that time, we should have gotten ashore faster."
At that time, Yun Qi's followers wanted to go into the water to save them, but Yun Qi
Bai Yanqing heard the roar of "Go away". At that time, she thought... Yunqi deliberately didn't want to save her!
"Because...your clothes were soaked at that time...I don't want other men to get close to you."
Yunqi was stunned for a moment, then answered truthfully.
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing's cheeks burned quietly. She vaguely remembered... Yun Qi seemed... to kiss her on the lips!
"Ahem...why?"
Somehow, Bai Yanqing suddenly asked one more question.
"Which man would like to let other men get close to his woman?"
Yunqi's words seemed to be taken for granted. But he didn't notice at all that the person in his arms was blushing!
Who said Yunqi was stupid and incapable of understanding the relationship between men and women? Bai Yanqing felt that the person who said this must be blind or deaf! It is obvious that Yunqi understands the love between men and women better than others! This love story is quite smooth!
"The eldest prince."
"Well, you tell me."
"You're not stupid, are you?"
"Um."
The conversation between the two seemed ordinary, but as soon as Yunqi said "hmm", Bai Yanqing knew that she would be inseparable from Yunqi in the rest of her life.
"why me?"
Bai Yanqing was very curious as to why Yunqi chose herself.
"Because it can only be you."
Yun Qi hugged Bai Yanqing and said calmly.
"Because...are there the Bai family and the Ji family behind me?"
Although Bai Yanqing didn't want to admit it, she still intuitively believed that Yunqi chose her because of the maternal clan behind her!
"Bai family? Your father is a pedantic man. Do you think he will form a clique for personal gain? Ji family? Your grandfather is a stubborn old man. Do you think he will succumb to power easily? What's more... in the Ji family, your grandfather is the only one in power now. He is getting older. If he is really allowed to lead troops in a war, I am afraid that he will be too ambitious but not strong enough!"
In Yunqi's words, it seemed that he looked down upon the power of the Bai family and the Ji family.
"Only my father... who is so foolish and eager for quick success, would think that by holding you, he can hold the Bai and Ji families!"
What Yun Qi said is actually not unreasonable if you think about it carefully. The Ji family is indeed in decline now, and the Bai family... is only supported by Bai Jingxuan. After all, the main wife of the Bai family has no son.
"Those who rely on women to achieve great things are mediocre people!"
It is rare for Yunqi to be willing to reveal his true feelings in front of others.
"Aren't you afraid that I will expose you in front of the emperor?"
Bai Yanqing squinted her eyes, feeling a little tired.
"Not afraid. Neither will you."
Yun Qi stroked Bai Yanqing's temples without caring at all.
"Go to sleep, you are tired. I will always be with you."
Looking at the little girl in his arms, her eyes closed, Yun Qi coaxed softly.
"Are you him?"
Bai Yanqing asked this question while half asleep and half awake. It was a meaningless question.
"Um."
I don't know if Yun Qi heard clearly what Bai Yanqing said. Bai Yanqing only heard him say "hmm" and then fell into a deep sleep.
Yun Qi just hugged Bai Yanqing, letting her lean against his chest peacefully, and fell asleep.
Maybe she didn't sleep comfortably enough. Bai Yanqing couldn't help but move in her sleep. Seeing this, Yunqi quickly changed her position to make her lie more comfortable.
I don't know how long it took, but it was so long... Yunqi felt that his chest was numb, and Bai Yanqing woke up again.
"Your Highness is still there?"
Bai Yanqing's first words after waking up were to ask Yun Qi why he didn't leave.
"I want to stay with you."
Yun Qi hugged Bai Yanqing tighter. What he didn't actually say was that he was afraid that Bai Yanqing would fall asleep and never wake up again! Therefore, he will always stay with her until he sees her awake again!
"Your Highness, there is no need to feel guilty. You didn't mean to do it when you fell into the lake."
Bai Yanqing only thinks of Yun Qi as feeling guilty, so she treats her so well. After all, it was Yun Qi who reached out and pulled Bai Yanqing, causing Bai Yanqing to fall into the lake.
"So, I will spend the rest of my life making up for my mistakes."
Yun Qi hugged Bai Yanqing and couldn't bear to let go.
"Your Highness, Miss, Doctor Zhao is here."
Caixing shouted inside through the curtain. She was embarrassed to go in and disturb the two people inside at this time.
"Let him in!"
Yun Qi responded, then carefully pulled away and let Bai Yanqing lie flat on the bed.
When Imperial Physician Zhao came in, he saw Yun Qi standing nervously aside, and Bai Yanqing lying down with slightly squinted eyes. He stepped forward, took out a handkerchief, and spread it on Bai Yanqing's wrist. Then, through the handkerchief, he placed two fingers on Bai Yanqing's pulse.
"Miss Bai is still weak and needs to be recuperated for a few more days. As for her old illness... On weekdays, she should try to touch as little cold food as possible and eat more food to replenish qi and blood."
Doctor Zhao folded the handkerchief that was placed around Bai Yanqing's pulse and said to the two people in front of him.
"I will prescribe some prescriptions for dispelling cold and dampness, and replenishing blood and replenishing qi. This girl, follow me later and go to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine."
Doctor Zhao packed up the medicine box and said to Cai Xing.
"Excuse me, Doctor Zhao."
Caixing nodded hurriedly in agreement.
"Caixing, send Dr. Zhao to you."
Bai Yanqing opened his mouth and ordered Caixing.
Throughout the whole process, Yunqi never said a word.
"His Royal Highness, do you have any orders?"
Before leaving the house, Imperial Doctor Zhao suddenly turned around and said to Yunqi.
Yunqi looked at Bai Yanqing on the bed and saw that she was slowly closing her eyes.
"What my wife says is whatever she says."
Yunqi replied seriously.
Doctor Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
"Then, old minister, I will take my leave."
Doctor Zhao walked away with a smile.
"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, this... we haven't even gotten married yet! Why is this a lady?"
Seeing that everyone was gone, Bai Yanqing couldn't help but speak and spat at Yun Qi.
"The imperial edict has been issued, do you still want to go back on it?"
Yun Qi saw Bai Yanqing choking him and thought her angry look was very cute. So she couldn't help but stepped forward again, wanting to hug her.
"Brother Emperor, what did Dr. Zhao say?"
Yun Ji shouted and ran in quickly.
"Don't you know how to knock before entering the house?"
Yun Qi was disturbed by Yun Ji, and he felt bad at the moment.
"This is my bedroom, what door should I knock on?"
Yun Ji scratched his head and was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled. Why did his imperial brother have some resentment in his words?
Yunqi didn't bother to explain to him, so he stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for Bai Yanqing.
"Sister-in-law, how do you feel now? Are you still feeling well?"
Seeing that Yun Qi ignored him, Yun Jitun changed his words and asked Bai Yanqing directly.
"Stop yelling, my little daughter and your royal brother are not married yet!"
Bai Yanqing was really impressed by these two brothers, so how could he still make such nonsense?
The emperor had indeed issued an edict that Bai Yanqing would be betrothed to the eldest prince. This was true, but... an imperial edict was an imperial edict, and she and Yun Qi were not yet married. Such a title was not appropriate either emotionally or rationally.
"Whether we get married or not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, my brother, besides you, Bai Yanqing, will never marry another woman in this life!"
Yun Ji stepped forward and blurted out in front of Bai Yanqing.
Bai Yanqing was stunned. Who gave Yun Ji the courage to say this?
"How can a prince not accept a side wife for the rest of his life?"
Bai Yanqingke
If you don't believe Yun Ji's nonsense, she has been prepared to serve the same husband with other women since the day she decided to enter the palace.
"My imperial brother! My imperial brother can't!"
Yun Ji patted his chest and vowed.
"What about Chen Xiu?"
Bai Yanqing smiled, but she never believed in a man's promise. In the First Prince's Mansion, there is still a Chen Xiu!
When Chen Xiu was mentioned, the smiles on Yun Ji and Yun Qi's faces suddenly disappeared.
Yes, there is another Chen Xiu! I didn’t think what would happen if Chen Xiu, this hot potato, was placed in the First Prince’s Mansion! But now that Yunqi has Bai Yanqing, he naturally doesn't want to keep Chen Xiu in his house anymore!
"Then...let her go back no matter how she came here!"
Yun Qi looked at Bai Yanqing, his eyes full of doting. Yun Qi never thought that in this life, besides Bai Yanqing, he would be interested in other women.
