A subtle and intimate atmosphere filled the air, and two delicate faces slowly approached each other.

Unlike the gentle exploration before, this kiss was passionate from the beginning.

Xiao Zhan hugged Jiang Xue tightly with his strong arms and pressed her to his chest with his big hands.

Finally, she was almost exhausted and collapsed in Xiao Zhan's arms.

"Your Highness..."

She raised her hand with the last bit of her strength and gently placed it on his chest.

She's not ready yet, not yet...

She had mixed feelings towards Xiao Zhan, including a sense of exploitation, pity, deep sympathy, and an affection that was hard to ignore.

These emotions were so complicated that she couldn't tell for sure whether she liked him more or sympathized with him. Before she could sort out her inner thoughts, she didn't want to have any deeper intimate contact with him.

"I understand. I won't force you." Although he was eager at the moment, his excellent self-control prevented him from going any further.

His hands were still neatly wrapped around her waist, not crossing that line.

During this period of time, he knew Jiang Xue's character very well. Besides, he was unwilling to force others to do things, after all, things that were forced always tasted a little worse.

"Xiaoxue, I am willing to wait for you. Until you know your true feelings." He pulled away a little and gently left a kiss on her brow.

This man always had a way to make her feel at ease. A warm current once again surged into Jiang Xue's heart. She looked up and looked at him, her eyes tender and affectionate: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"But don't let me wait too long." After saying that, Xiao Zhan added with a wicked smile.

Although he is not a pushy person, he is not a saint without desires. How can he say that he does not have any thoughts when he lives in the same room with his beautiful wife every day?

Jiang Xue was speechless for a moment, as she felt that there was something else hidden in his smile. "It's late, Your Highness should go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow to pay respects to the palace according to the rules." Since she became a princess, it was inevitable for her to deal with people in the palace.

She stood up and planned to get a quilt for Xiao Zhan, but saw him smile slyly, take off his shoes and clothes, and fall directly on the bed.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xue sighed inwardly and thought that she would have to find another place to sleep.

Just as she turned to leave, Xiao Zhan grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her down onto the bed. He had taken off the Phoenix Coronet and thrown it aside. She lay on the spacious bed and just as she was about to sit up, he gently held her down.

"It's the first night of your wedding and the guards outside the door are tight. If you sneak out, aren't you afraid that others will gossip about us sleeping in separate beds after we got married and saying that we are incompatible?" Xiao Zhan smiled like a fox. Jiang Xue looked at him and felt worried.

When you think about it carefully, it is really true. If there is a rumor that a couple is not getting along on their wedding night, there will probably be a lot of trouble in the future.

When Prince Gong first showed his potential, there were countless people waiting to catch him, especially his two royal brothers. There were probably more spies outside the palace gate than ants.

"I understand." Jiang Xue sighed lightly, took off her shoes and socks by herself, and lay down beside Xiao Zhan properly, with her clothes on.

Under the same quilt, I can vaguely feel each other's warmth.

Jiang Xue originally thought that she would suffer from insomnia until dawn, but as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell into a sweet dream. In her dream, she seemed to be in a warm ocean, full of happiness.

The next morning, just after the hour of Mao, the maids knocked on the door. Xiao Zhan was afraid of disturbing her sweet dream, so he quickly covered her ears with both hands, turned around and whispered to the maid to put down the things and leave without making any noise.

The girl in his arms rubbed against him, and her hair brushed gently against his chest, bringing a slight itch.

Xiao Zhan lowered his head helplessly, looking at his charming princess, laughing secretly, adjusting his posture and half hugging her.

This little girl kept trying to get into his arms last night, which made him unable to sleep well all night and he almost couldn't control the anger in his heart.

What a annoying little elf.

Should he consider shortening his waiting time?

"Your Highness, you're awake." Jiang Xue said in a daze. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the enlarged handsome face. She was instantly awake. She shrank back and sat up. She got up too quickly and felt dizzy.

"When you get up in the morning, move slowly. Be careful not to get dizzy." Xiao Zhan stood up and rubbed her temples. "Are you feeling better?"

Jiang Xue blushed and gently pulled his hand down: "Your Highness, we should get up and wash up."

Seeing her pretending to be calm while getting out of bed to change clothes, Xiao Zhan couldn't help laughing. He threw back the quilt and got out of bed, signaling the maid to bring the clothes to Jiang Xue.

"This is..." Jiang Xue looked at the clothes in front of her with confusion.

"Princess, according to the rules, you should change His Highness' clothes yourself after the marriage." The maid replied.

"Really?" Jiang Xue looked at the maid in confusion. How come she didn't know about this rule in Beiling?

The maids all smiled secretly, it was obvious that this rule was made by His Highness on a whim yesterday.

It seems that His Highness really cares about the princess.

"Princess, there is indeed such a rule." The old nanny who had managed the palace for many years confirmed with a smile. Jiang Xue took the clothes half-believingly and turned to walk towards Xiao Zhan, who was grinning from ear to ear.

She carefully put on each piece of clothing for him, and finally stood on tiptoe to help him adjust his collar. Xiao Zhan enjoyed the whole process very much, and his smile never dropped from the moment he opened his eyes until now.

"Your Highness, everything is dressed." After a busy period, Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief and landed firmly on the ground.

"Yun Che." Xiao Zhan tapped her lips lightly and looked at her tenderly.

"Hmm?" He suddenly called her name, which made Jiang Xue stunned and unable to react.

“We are already married, it would seem strange if you continue to be so polite. Just call me Yun Che from now on.” He wanted to hear her call him like that. Her voice was clear and pleasant, and it must sound especially nice when she called him that.

"Yun Che." Jiang Xue agreed readily. It was just a name, so why be shy about it?

Xiao Zhan's heart suddenly melted like honey. This "Yun Che" was probably the most beautiful call he had ever heard in his life.

"Let's go." He took her hand contentedly, and after enjoying breakfast, they got on the carriage to the palace together.

Arriving at the palace gate, Jiang Xue saw a familiar figure as soon as she got out of the car.

"Ms. Lu, I appreciate your kindness, but it is hard for me to accept this gift. Please take it back." Nan Jingxing's steady voice came.

Lu Linyi's eyes dimmed instantly, and her hand holding the basket slowly dropped. This was the first time in her life that she had the courage to give a man a gift, but the result was such a complete rejection.

"Cousin." Jiang Xue walked quickly forward and called softly.

Lu Linyi glanced at Jiang Xue somewhat embarrassedly, and forced a bitter smile.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxue and Prince Gong caught him at this awkward moment when he hit a wall.
