The son-in-law is too shy

After the luncheon, the juniors were sent to the garden, and only the elders sat down with the ladies in the palace and chatted about their daily affairs.

Li Qiushuang didn't like excitement and Xu Huai'an liked quietness, so the two simply left and found a quiet place.

Li Qiushuang glanced at Xu Huai'an, hesitated to speak.

Xu Huai'an looked at it and couldn't help but said: "Is there something you want to ask, Your Highness?"

Li Qiushuang sighed softly, and then said: "Tomorrow we will leave Beijing to go to Lingjue."

Xu Huaian was startled, tomorrow she will leave this place where she has lived for 20 years.

"You entrusted me to investigate the matter. I have already arranged for Xiuqing to investigate, but Langxuan disappeared 20 years ago, and it will take some time to investigate carefully." Li Qiushuang said.

"Your Highness is troubled." Xu Huai'an narrowed his eyes.

Li Qiushuang took a deep look at Xu Huai'an and said, "Aren't you willing to tell me where this thing came from?"

Xu Huai'an tugged at his sleeves irritably, and said: "It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just that it involves a lot of things, which makes me upset, and I don't understand a lot of them, and I can't tell His Highness, but what is this jade pendant?" It is very important to Yuchen, and I have a vague feeling that this thing has something to do with me."

Hearing this, Li Qiushuang pursed her lips, finally nodded and said: "I understand."

Xu Huai'an hesitated for a while, and finally tugged on Li Qiushuang's sleeve. Li Qiushuang looked at her puzzled, but she said awkwardly: "Your Highness treats me well, and I understand that Your Highness will not harm me. After learning the truth, I will tell His Highness everything."

Li Qiushuang's face softened a bit, then she withdrew her gaze and looked straight ahead and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation on this matter."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After returning home from the palace, it was dusk, Li Qiushuang ordered two buckets of hot water, and they bathed separately.

After Xu Huai'an took a bath, Li Qiushuang was still taking a shower in the side room, so she simply dried her long hair and picked up a book to read.

When Li Qiushuang opened the door and entered, she saw her leaning on the bed and studying hard.

The candlelight was beating, and the orange light reflected on her delicate face, adding a bit of warmth.Because she had just finished bathing, her long hair was loose, her expression was soft and her eyes were tender.

Li Qiushuang thought, if one day Xu Huai'an wears women's clothing again, she must be a slim beauty.

Realizing that she lost her composure looking at Xu Huai'an, Li Qiushuang quickly returned to her senses, her face was a little embarrassed, and she deliberately made some noises and returned to the soft couch.

Hearing the movement, Xu Huai'an raised his head and watched Li Qiushuang walk past with a sullen face, and sat on a soft couch not far away.

Xu Huai'an looked at Li Qiushuang in surprise, she didn't understand why Li Qiushuang, who was in a good mood when he came back, was tense at this moment, she couldn't help but put down the book and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

As if she was caught doing something wrong when she was young, Li Qiushuang blushed rarely, she coughed lightly and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

Seeing her rosy face, Xu Huai'an remembered for some reason Li Qiushuang's makeup when they got married, which was cold and charming, and couldn't help but blushed, and said, "Then...then Your Highness will rest early, and I will turn off the lights right away." .”

After saying that, he hurriedly put the book away and turned off the light.

The room fell into darkness, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time.

Early the next morning.

The carriage was ready a few days ago, since it was time to return to Ling Jue, Li Qiushuang only brought Xu Huaian and Jiang Xiuqing with him.

After Xu Huaian packed his luggage, he got into the carriage with Li Qiushuang.

"Do you want to go back to the house and talk to Second Aunt?" Li Qiushuang looked at Xu Huai'an and asked.

Xu Huaian just hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No need, just go."

Although Li Qiushuang was surprised, she didn't say anything, and asked Jiang Xiuqing to drive.

She did not inform anyone when she left, just like when she came back.

When she and Jiang Xiuqing came, they came on fast horses, but when they returned, they had Xu Huai'an by their side and could only take a carriage, so the speed slowed down.

Lingjue Palace is located on Mount Tai, the highest of the Five Sacred Mountains, which means Lingjue Palace has a unique position in the world.

The carriage traveled for a day, and at dusk, the three arrived at a small town outside Zhengzhou.

"Xiao Er, the two upper rooms!" Jiang Xiuqing spoke first as soon as he entered.

Li Qiushuang's face froze, Xu Huai'an's footsteps stopped, both of them felt helpless.

Li Qiushuang rubbed her brows. To prevent accidents, she did not tell Jiang Xiuqing about her fake marriage, so this girl still thinks that the two of them are really married.

Fortunately, Xu Huai'an is a woman, so it's fine.

As soon as Xiao Er saw the three people dressed in dignified clothes, the two women were holding swords in their hands, and she didn't dare to neglect, she hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile: "It just so happens that there are two vacant upper rooms, the younger one will take you there."

Going up to the third floor, Xiao Er pointed to the two adjacent rooms in the corner and said with a smile: "That's it."

"When we order wine, food and hot water at the meeting, you don't have to change the money and use it as a tip." Jiang Xiuqing generously handed over a piece of silver to the little girl.

Xiaoer was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, left the key and left.

Jiang Xiuqing left the inner room for the two of them, put down their bags as soon as they entered the room, and after tidying up, Xiaoer brought up the wine and dishes.

The two finished their dinner quietly, and Xiao Er brought hot water for them to take a bath.

Xu Huai'an couldn't help breaking the silence in front of him because the two of them hadn't said a word since they came in, causing the atmosphere to be too awkward.

"Your Highness, why don't you go take a bath first?"

"No need." Li Qiushuang, who was sitting beside him wiping his sword, said without raising his head, "You go first."

Xu Huai'an pursed his lips, seeing that Li Qiushuang didn't seem to move, so he took his clothes and entered behind the screen.

But he never noticed that when she left, Li Qiushuang looked up from behind and watched her enter behind the screen.

Li Qiushuang closed her eyes, she was a little annoyed, she had never paid too much attention to others, and it was easy to have worries when she was in a messed mood.

She took a deep breath, sheathed the long sword, crossed her legs on the bed, closed her eyes and meditated.

This was the scene Xu Huai'an saw after coming out of the bath. She hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Your Highness, go take a bath."

Li Qiushuang opened her eyes suddenly, and Xu Huai'an couldn't help taking half a step back from the aura in her clear eyes. When Li Qiushuang saw that it was Xu Huai'an, she stopped her aura, got up, picked up her clothes and put them behind the screen.

There was confusion in Xu Huai'an's eyes, she blinked, but without thinking about it, she wiped her long wet hair.

But soon, her thoughts became uncontrollable.

The sound of water being stirred came from behind the screen, Xu Huai'an couldn't help thinking, what a proud figure the person in the bathtub still had, and the long crow-green hair scattered in the water, like the drifting seaweed, engulfing the person Surrounding it, the snow-greasy skin is immersed in the water full of petals, red, white and black are intertwined, how beautiful it should be.

Xu Huai'an only felt a burst of hotness on her face, she shook her head fiercely, trying to get rid of those embarrassing thoughts that shouldn't be in her mind.

Such a beautiful person as Li Qiushuang, how could he conceive and blaspheme here?

Xu Huai'an pinched himself to calm himself down, brushed his long hair carelessly, and then made up the bed.

There is no soft couch, and it is impossible for Li Qiushuang to sleep on the floor, so tonight the two will share the same bed for the second time since the day they got married.

When Xu Huai'an had made the bed, Li Qiushuang also came out of the shower, seeing that Xu Huai'an had already made the bed, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

Xu Huai'an turned around and saw Li Qiushuang looking at him with a faint smile on his face, his face turned red, he lowered his head and hesitated, "There is only one bed here, and there is no soft couch, your highness is precious, so you can't sleep on it. On the ground, the minister made his own decision and asked His Highness to make amends."

Looking at the frightened deer, Li Qiushuang's voice softened a little.

"It's okay."

Hearing what Li Qiushuang said, Xu Huai'an breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Your Highness, let's dry your hair and rest earlier."

After saying that, he felt that his words were wrong, with a hint of invitation, Xu Huai'an's face turned even redder.

Seeing that the person's cheeks looked like boiled crabs, Li Qiushuang couldn't help laughing, but suddenly hearing Li Qiushuang's laughter, Xu Huai'an was taken aback for a moment, and then his face turned into anger from embarrassment.

She no longer looked at Li Qiushuang, she got into the quilt and turned her back to Li Qiushuang.

Li Qiushuang's calm and accustomed face showed a bit of playfulness, looking at Xu Huai'an's back, Li Qiushuang actually thought of teasing her.

"Is the son-in-law unwell?" Li Qiushuang stepped forward, sat on the bed and asked.

Hearing Li Qiushuang's question, Xu Huai'an was annoyed, and said in a muffled voice under the blanket, "Never."

Li Qiushuang said again: "I just saw that the son-in-law's face is very red, but is it a little hot?"

Hearing her voice, I felt that she was very serious, but this person asked Xu Huai'an embarrassing questions in the most serious tone, which made Xu Huai'an hold a breath in his heart but couldn't let it out.

"It's all right, it's late at night, Your Highness should rest early." Finally, she said sullenly.

Seeing that she was determined not to turn around, Li Qiushuang curled her lips into a smile, and stopped teasing her, took a towel to dry her long hair, then extinguished the candle and lay down beside Xu Huai'an.

Feeling the movement around him, Xu Huai'an's body couldn't help but froze.

She has never shared the same bed with anyone since she can remember. Although they shared the same bed on the day they got married, she drank too much that day and was in a daze. People share the same bed, feeling extremely nervous for a while.

Li Qiushuang noticed Xu Huai'an's stiffness, it was obvious that she still covered herself in the quilt and felt annoyed and amused.

She lifted the quilt covering Xu Huai'an's head with her hand, she couldn't help but be speechless when she saw the panicked appearance, and finally said kindly: "I am not a scourge, and I won't do anything to you. Why are you so afraid of me?" Palace? Don’t cover your head with a quilt, it’s easy to get short of breath.”

Xu Huai'an was still in shock, she never thought that Li Qiushuang would lift her quilt, but he had good intentions, so she had to murmur to acknowledge it.

If Li Qiushuang were to describe Xu Huai'an at this moment, it would be a hedgehog whose thorns were pulled out, helpless and pitiful.

Li Qiushuang finally sighed softly: "Go to sleep, hurry up tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he lay back and didn't look at Xu Huai'an anymore.

Xu Huai'an responded lightly, and closed his eyes obediently without covering himself in the quilt again.

No more words for one night.
