The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

Chapter 128: I can't get enough of watching for a lifetime

Wen Jin didn't sleep much all night.

Usually, insomnia is caused by pain and tossing and turning, but this night it was completely because he couldn't bear to sleep.

He lay on the couch, staring at Yan Qing's sleeping face, the more he looked, the more he opened his eyes, and even had the urge to get closer, closer... but he didn't dare to.

Yan Qing ignored him and went to bed early, and he didn't feel comfortable being watched by him for most of the night.

Until dawn, Wen Jin slept for an hour or so. For someone who always gets enough sleep, an hour is more than enough, but it is barely enough. After all, he spent that day in his previous life with insomnia, and he has long been accustomed to getting enough sleep.

Wen Jin told the maid outside last night that she would summon Xu to come in every morning to disturb the palace, and the curtains in the inner palace were all open, completely blocking the light outside, so that Yan Qing rarely overslept.

As soon as she woke up, Yan Qing noticed that there were eyes watching her next to her. She knew it, and couldn't help but said, "Haven't you seen enough after watching for a whole night?"

"I'll see enough for a lifetime." Wen Jin replied consciously, and then sat up half a beat late, her voice as soft and gentle as a puppy watching over its master, "Is the palace awake?"

Yan Qing hummed, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

No plans.

Wen Jin thought for a moment: "Your Highness said before that he would discipline me when he came back. I feel that I have been too obedient recently. Has Your Highness thought about how to discipline me?"

Yan Qing paused, then slowly turned to look at him: "Are you looking forward to being disciplined by me?"

"...Yes." Wen Jin hesitated for a moment before saying, "I thought Your Highness had forgotten about this matter, so..."

Yan Qing sneered, his voice could distinguish between joy and anger: "Your memory is wrong."

Wen Jin wondered whether this was a compliment or criticism, and said honestly: "I just want to find a reason to be alone with Your Highness."

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows.

Wen Jin continued, "I don't want to be disturbed by someone I'm related to."

"Who are the people I'm related to?"

"A lot." Wen Jin replied, "Except for the minister, everyone else is a person I'm related to."

Yan Qing raised her eyebrows: "How about you build a cage and imprison me?"

Wen Jin pursed her lips, her voice sounded very gentle: "I dare not."

Yan Qing got up to wash and change clothes.

Chen Xiang had already brought people to fetch water and was waiting outside. When she heard the door open, she was about to go in, but she heard Wen Jin say: "Give me the water."

Chen Xiang was startled, and she subconsciously wanted to say that this was in accordance with the rules. They should be the ones serving the master, so why let the young master do it for them?

However, Wen Jin insisted, and Chen Xiang handed the basin to him.

Wen Jin turned and entered the hall, put the basin on the shelf, and saw Yan Qing reaching for clothes, so he took Yan Qing's clothes and helped her put them on. However, the clothes Yan Qing wore outside Zhuque City were all princess-standard clothes, with layers of layers inside and outside, complicated layers, and accessories with belts... Wen Jin had never had the opportunity to help a woman dress in his previous life, and he was in a hurry and had no idea how to do it.

Raising his eyes slightly, meeting Yan Qing's playful eyes, Wen Jin coughed lightly, turned around calmly and let Chenxiang in.

Chenxiang led the maids in one after another, helping the master dress, straighten the collar, and tie the belt in an orderly manner.

Yan Qing turned around to wash, Wen Jin raised his hand to dismiss the maid who was about to serve, and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

Yan Qing glanced at him, and Wen Jin said, "This is easy."

The maids stood aside, lowered their heads, and looked a little strange.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter." Wen Jin said seriously, "When you go out, you can wear some light and simple clothes, which are comfortable and not stuffy."

Yan Qing raised her hand and gathered her wide sleeves: "This material is light and cool, not stuffy."

Wen Jin was silent: "Yes."

After washing and dressing, she began to put on makeup. Yan Qing sat in front of the dressing table. The maids served her carefully and dared not be negligent. It was not that the princess had a good temper, but there was a pair of eyes staring at her. They couldn't help but feel nervous.

In fact, Wen Jin behaved well. She stood quietly by the side and didn't say anything. Her eyes and expressions were no different from usual. She was gentle and noble, like a Zhilan tree.

But he is a man after all, with a tall figure and a dignified demeanor. Even if he just stands quietly by and watches, the maids feel pressured.

So Yan Qing said: "You have nothing to do?"

Wen Jin pursed his lips: "Your Highness..."

"Go to the study and wait." Yan Qing said, "Read or write as you like, don't stand here."

Wen Jin was silent for a moment, turned around and walked towards the study.

The maids breathed a sigh of relief, but they couldn't help thinking that Master Wen was handsome and outstanding, and his temperament was gentle and calm, but... he seemed a little too clingy.
