Yan Yu leaned on Xiao Chengji and continued reading.

It would be nice to have a human-shaped pillow. Xiao Chengji is tall, has long legs and broad shoulders, so he can easily cover Yan Yu with it.

Yan Yu's body was a bit cool, but Xiao Chengji's was hot, and it was really comfortable to lean on him.

She felt a little tired of watching and buried her face in Xiao Chengji's arms.

To be honest, Xiao Chengji smells quite nice. Maybe he likes to use wood incense, especially sandalwood and agarwood. Yan Yu always feels like he is secretly taking a nap in a Buddhist temple.

Xiao Chengji put a hand on Yan Yu's weak shoulder: "Are you sleepy? Want to sleep for a while?"

Yan Yu said "hmm" and raised her chin for him to kiss.

Her face was a little pale, her chin was pointed, her eyes were beautiful and moist, but perhaps because the room was too dry, her pale pink lips looked a little dry.

Xiao Chengji stared at her for a moment, his heart skipping a beat.

In the end, he didn't kiss her. After all, he was not a man without self-control.

Xiao Chengji pinched Yan Yu's chin and said, "You just act like a spoiled brat all day long. I can't stand you being like this."

He had never seen a woman as clingy as she was.

Yan Yu kicked him and said, "Then go and find someone who doesn't act like a spoiled child to follow you."

Xiao Chengji: "..."

Xiao Chengji was silent for a moment and held Yan Yu's feet.

She was wearing a pair of rabbit fur socks on her feet, and even through the layer of fur, her feet could still feel cool.

Yan Yu didn't want to be held by him, and struggled a little: "I'm so annoyed by you, don't touch me."

Xiao Chengji pulled her into his arms: "Okay, stop making trouble."

Yan Yu didn't want to pay attention to him now, so she pushed him away, then got up from the couch and went to the inner room to sleep.

Xiao Chengji had a cold face, and black energy was about to come out of his body.

Huoha, who was standing next to him, wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. As long as the prince didn't notice him and vent his anger on him, it would be better than anything else.

Seeing that he was about to throw something again, Huoha reminded him with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, this vase is an antique from two hundred years ago. It is not easy to find another one that is exactly the same. If you throw it, the princess will probably cry for three days and three nights."

Xiao Chengji put down the vase and went straight inside.

He was a man of integrity and could not afford to argue with a weak little woman like Yan Yu, so he went to bed and held Yan Yu in his arms.

Yan Yu stopped making trouble with him and soon fell asleep leaning on his shoulder.

After waking up, Yan Yu finally felt a little hungry, so she took the tea that Ning Xia handed over to her.

Xiao Chengji took a sip of tea from Yan Yu's hand, and Huo Ha came up to him and said, "Your Highness, you have to go to the palace now. The emperor has summoned you."

Things in the palace are much more important than things in the mansion.

Yan Yu also knew that the emperor valued Xiao Chengji and favored him the most among all his sons. Xiao Chengji was now doing very well in the Ministry of Justice, and the emperor would ask about many things.

She straightened Xiao Chengji's clothes and said, "Don't rush for the moment. Eat something to fill your stomach first, and then go into the palace."

As he spoke, Ruidong brought over a few plates of tea cakes, all of which were cut into flower patterns, some of which were plum and peach blossoms, and some were crabapples and peonies.

They look crystal clear and bright in color. Some are filled with tangerine peel and red bean paste, some are filled with hazelnut, chestnut and almond, and some are filled with rose, osmanthus, jasmine and other flower fillings.

Yan Yu knew that Xiao Chengji didn't like sweet things, so the maid had prepared these for her to eat when she woke up.

She asked the kitchen staff to cook a bowl of clear soup noodles, and took out a few plates of braised goldfinch, roe deer loin jerky, and goose liver in fermented wine from the porcelain jar, as well as a few plates of light bamboo shoots and salted beans.

Xiao Chengji entered the palace and didn't know when he would come back. When he was hungry, he didn't even ask for food and he didn't pay any attention to these things.

In just a quarter of an hour, the maid placed the dishes on the table, and the kitchen also sent a bowl of pulled noodles in clear soup.

Yan Yu saw that it was going to snow outside, so she went to get a big fur cloak and said, "Your Highness, please eat something first. If you stay up too late, Huoha, remember to remind Your Highness to have some snacks."

Huo Ha responded quickly.

After Xiao Chengji finished eating, he took the tea handed to him by Yan Yu. She took the cloak and tied it on him: "Don't ride a horse, take a carriage."

It was so cold, and my hands and face were frozen while riding a horse. It looked like it might snow, and I was afraid the horse’s hooves would slip and I would fall off the horse.

Xiao Chengji said, "Hmm," and said, "I'll come back to see you in the evening."

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Okay."

After Xiao Chengji left, Yan Yu ate some porridge and listened to the people below report some things in the mansion.

Xiao Jiashan stood outside the Prince Qin's Mansion for a long time.

Shi Liang didn't know what his master was thinking. He clearly didn't have a good relationship with the King of Qin, but he had been wanting to visit the King of Qin's mansion for some time.

What's the difference between this and a weasel trying to find a chicken to pay New Year's greetings? In short, the King of Qin was not willing to pay attention to Xiao Jiashan.

Shi Liang saw snow falling from the sky and Xiao Jiashan standing there, frozen like an ice sculpture. He hurried to persuade his own prince: "Fifth Master, let's go back. If we stay any longer, you will catch a cold tomorrow."

Xiao Jiashan sneered: "I would rather die of a cold."

Shi Liang: “…”

What's the point of all this?

To be honest, Xiao Jiashan wouldn't die even if he just stood here for a whole day.

He was wrapped in such thick fox fur, tightly from head to toe. What if he could die?

The ones who really suffer are the minions they follow.

It's so cold and I'm wearing padded clothes. It was fine when the sun was shining during the day, but now that the sun has set, the cold wind is blowing through my sleeves, and it's so chilling.

Xiao Jiashan looked at Xiao Chengji riding out on horseback with the eunuchs, and a deep hatred flashed in his eyes.

Not only did this man steal his father since he was a child, he also stole his fiancée who had been engaged for more than ten years.

If Xiao Chengji had not intervened, even with what happened between Xiao Jiashan and Wei Ruxuan, Yan Yu would have nowhere to go and would have had to obey the marriage and marry him.

At that time, Xiao Jiashan might not be willing to marry Yan Yu as his principal wife, and Yan Yu could only enter his prince's mansion as a concubine or a maid. But once she came in and the two met, Xiao Jiashan would still help her up.

Without Xiao Chengji, how could there be so many twists and turns?

The hatred of having his father taken away and his wife taken away made Xiao Jiashan feel more and more hateful. He turned around and got on the sedan chair: "Go back home."
