âFortunately, I am alone.â Bai Aoxue suddenly sat up in bed. After checking around, she patted her heart and said to herself.
Looking at the already bright sky through the window, Bai Aoxue sighed slightly. The bed was very soft, and the quilt was warm. The birds sang beautifully. If those people outside the door havenât talked about her as if nothing had happened, everything would be better.
âWell... do you think that Miss and His Highness slept together last night?â Mumian looked at the closed door cunningly and âwhisperedâ.
âI think that... His Highness dared not to do anything to Miss!â Hongxiu answered.
Wenxi, on the other side, listened to their meaningless conversation. The corner of her mouth quivered. She said: âYour doubts are superfluous.â
After listening to Wenxiâs words, Mumian and Hongxiu looked at Wenxi tacitly and said: âWenxi, your personality is kind of like Miss. Do you think that Miss and His Highness slept together last night?â
âNo.â Wenxi said lightly. They even struggled with such a simple answer.
âAh... if Wenxi says ânoâ, then they really donât.â Hongxiu sighed.
Wenxi wondered why Hongxiu was so sad when she knew the answer.
âWhatâs wrong?â Wenxi asked.
âHaha... because she loses money! Hongxiu have lost all her monthly money in this month to me! â Mumian answered Wenxi with her arms akimbo and laughed.
âLosing money... What did you bet on?â Wenxi already had some ideas in mind, but she still wanted to make sure.
âWeâre guessing whether Miss slept with His Highness. I bet that Miss slept alone, but Wenxi insisted that His Highness showed his talents and consummated the marriage!â Mumian said triumphantly.
âAh... how can I know 5th Prince is such a gentleman?â Hongxiu sighed. She was not satisfied with this result.
Wenxi looked at them, only felt that they were completely hopeless.
They had no idea that the people they were talking about had already heard their conversation.
Jun Yeyan originally planned to come over and saw if Bai Aoxue woke up then went to the palace with her. He didnât expect to hear the conversation of Bai Aoxueâs three maidservants.
He surely didnât expect that there would be a maidservant who supported him like that.
Jun Yeyan picked up his mouth and smiled. He needed to work harder in case he would be looked down by these girls.
âZhao, you didnât gamble on such silly things yesterday, did you.â Jun Yeyan questioned faintly but in a declarative tone.
Zhao emerged from the air and knelt down on one knee. He said: âKing, Young master Nalan did so. He has made a fortune.â
If Zhao hadnât lowered his head, Jun Yeyan could have seen that when Zhao said these words, the corner of his eye quivered vigorously.
When Jun Yeyan listened to Zhaoâs words, he smiled involuntarily. His voice was a little bit hoarse like the sound of a cello. Although it was attractive, it made Zhao quivered fiercely.
âHaha... It seems that Hong is too leisurely. Tell him that the consolidation of Mobeiâs strongholds will be finished by him personally, and I only give him one month.â Said Jun Yeyan. He narrowed his phoenix-like eyes, feeling the warm sunshine in the early spring.
After hearing the words of Jun Yeyan, Zhao was sure that he could laugh at anybody expect for his own master. Otherwise, he would make him feel that to live was no better than to die.
From Chengxi to Mobei, even if he didnât need to eat or drink, it would take him about fifteen days, not to mention the current complicated situation of Mobei. Before Nalan Youhong arrived at Mobei, he probably had already had a difficult time.
Thought of this, Zhao couldnât wait to see Nalan Youhongâs miserable look.
The way his two eyebrows wrinkled together was especially ridiculous.
âAs your wish. Now Iâm going to inform Young Master Nalan.â He said respectfully, forcing himself not to laugh at his misfortune.
Jun Yeyan walked to Bai Aoxueâs courtyard with big strides, thinking about what Bai Aoxue would look like when he saw her in a while.
Last night, his little princess was very different.
After listening to Mumian and othersâ words, Bai Aoxue recalled her behaviors last night and began to hesitate.
She vaguely remembered that after singing last night, she drank a lot. She didnât listen to Jun Yeyanâs advice, so she got drunk.
Originally, she wanted to make Jun Yeyan drunk and solve the problem of sleeping in the same room at night. She was clear about her capacity for liquor, but she did not realize that she got drunk first before Jun Yeyan.
She remembered her last words: Donât try to climb my bed, Jun Yeyan!
The most important thing was that, when she said this, she stepped on the round wooden table and seized Jun Yeyanâs collar. The strong smell of alcohol all sprayed on Jun Yeyanâs face.
And after saying this, she pushed Jun Yeyan on the ground. She fell asleep, treating Jun Yeyan as a mattress.
She didnât expect that she would look like this when she drank too much. Bai Aoxue blushed with shyness.
Thinking of this, Bai Aoxue fell back into bed again and rolled herself into a ball.
I must confiscate all their monthly money this month to make up for my broken heart!
Yes! Thatâs it! Bai Aoxue comforted herself in her heart, and also found an excuse for her embarrassment.
When she was thinking, Bai Aoxue heard Mumianâs cheerful voice outside the door.
âPaying respects to Your Highness!â Mumian was very happy since she could have more money this month!
And Hongxiu, who looked crestfallen, also saluted.
That Jun Yeyan just showed up meant that he didnât stay here last night, so her monthly money really lost to Mumian. Think of this, Hongxiu glanced at Mumian and Wenxi angrily.
Wenxi was so puzzled by Hongxiuâs glance. She didnât bet with her.
âHas princess got up?â Jun Yeyan looked at the closed door and asked faintly.
âResponding to Your Highness, princess is still resting now.â As the most mature one among them, Wenxi answered in a polite manner.
âGo to the kitchen and bring the breakfast for Princess. There are no other ladies in the mansion. Now, that will be four of you together with princess. You are mainly responsible for taking care of Princess in daily life. You need to be with her all the time. Just tell the housekeeper if you need anything.â Jun Yeyan was going to open the door, while he looked at them who were stunned and said slowly.
There was no female in 5th Princeâs mansion. Once, Jun Wuhen sent women in with all kinds of excuses, but they all were frightened by those servants in the mansion.
In fact, those servants were all his subordinates who were loyal to him.
âYes, we are going to prepare Princessâs meal.â Wenxi said respectfully. She left after saluting.
Mumian and Hongxiu also saluted respectfully after Wenxi.
When Bai Aoxue heard that, she knew that Jun Yeyan was coming in. She cowered herself into the quilt involuntarily.
This was what Jun Yeyan saw when he entered the room. A petite body was wrapped by a quilt like a silkworm cocoon, only leaving a small head to breathe.
Jun Yeyan knew that Bai Aoxue remembered what happened last night from her movements. He laughed and said: âXue, are you awake? We need to go to the palace later.â
When Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Yeyanâs words, she moved to show that she was awake.
âXue... uh... get up. You should wash and dress. I asked Mumian and others to prepare breakfast for you. You didnât eat much in last evening, so you should eat more today.â Jun Yeyan seemed to be unable to see Bai Aoxueâs embarrassment. He just kept saying.
When Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Yeyanâs words, she got angry again.
Suddenly, she directly lifted the warm quilt, sitting up and looking at Jun Yeyan. She said: âI didnât see you wrong! Hum! â
Jun Yeyan stared at Bai Aoxueâs proud but cute face. Those people in the mansion all believed that Bai Aoxue was cold and noble, but in his eyes, Bai Aoxue was a veritable proud and lovely queen.
Now, this queen spoke.
âDonât you come here and serve me? I need to dress!â Bai Aoxue peeked at Jun Yeyan and pretended to be arrogant.
When Jun Yeyan listened to her words, he indeed echoed her: âAs you wish.â
Then he really walked towards Bai Aoxueâs bed. Gently lifting Bai Aoxueâs fine and graceful foot, he helped her put on socks and shoes which had already been prepared.
Bai Aoxue didnât expect that Jun Yeyan would take her jokes seriously. Her cheeks were red like cherries which would flow water after a gentle pinch.
âJun... Jun... Jun... Jun Jun Yeyan! You donât need to do this... â Bai Aoxue was somewhat at a loss.
In her two lives, it was the first time that somebody put on shoes for her. She felt it amazing and unbelievable. It seemed that a warm current whistled across her heart.
She was incredibly satisfied.
Jun Yeyan looked up at Bai Aoxue and said: âXue, you are my wife.â There was an undeniable firmness in his clear phoenix-like eyes.
Looking at Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue finally stopped talking.
When Mumian, Hongxiu and Wenxi came in with dishes, they saw this scene.
The Man wore a black silk gown. His hair was tied with a silk ribbon gently. He knelt on one knee, lifting the womanâs foot on the bedside and carefully putting on socks and shoes for her like treating a treasure.
At this time, the woman who sat on the bedside was less indifferent and careless than she used to. She was shy and happy like a girl.
Her beautiful face overflew the brilliance that she never noticed. People couldnât move eyes from them.
Mumian, Hongxiu and Wenxi looked at each other and smiled silently. They were unwilling to disturb such a beautiful scene.
Eventually, Jun Yeyan broke the peace. After he put on socks and shoes for Bai Aoxue, he stood up as if nothing happened. He then let Mumian and others to serve Bai Aoxue, and he went to wait in the front yard.
Compared with the pleasant and sweet atmosphere, a chase-and-kill was happening in a sparsely populated alley in the capital.
âMother! Why do we have to flee? Is this man really my father?! Bai Suxue followed Su Qianqian anxiously and kept questioning.
âSuxue, in a minute, go hide yourself. I and your father will lead them away. At that time, go back to Su Family, they will take care of you.â Su Qianqian said, looking at Bai Suxue anxiously.
âMom, who are they? Why are they chasing us? Does Father really abandon us?!â Bai Suxue didnât pay attention to what Su Qianqian said.
When Su Qianqian thought of Bai Qiwei, her heart was full of resentment, but she couldnât do anything. Bai Qiwei only divorced her and drove them out of the door. He was merciful enough.
âSuxue! Listen, Bai Qiwei is not your father. Bai Lei is your father! These people are here to kill us. Go hide yourself in a while. Weâll lead them away!â Su Qianqian roared anxiously.
Bai Suxue also understood the seriousness of the matter and nodded stiffly. After Su Qianqian and Bai Lei hid her carefully, they said: âSuxue, if we return safely, we will live together and move on.â
Bai Suxue nodded stiffly and watched Su Qianqian and Bai Lei run away.
After a long time, Bai Suxue saw that there was no sound outside, so she stood up quietly and went along the way that Su Qianqian and Bai Lei left.
Blood was flowing and winding like a brook. Hiding in a corner, Bai Suxue looked at this scene nervously.
