"Are you cold?" Baili Che lowered his head and asked the person in his arms gently.
"Oh. It's not cold." Qing Huan nestled in Baili Che's arms and shook her head gently.
At this moment, the night was hazy. The sky was filled with brilliant stars, shining brightly. Qing Huan leaned against Baili Che's chest as she sat on the roof and looked at the stars. Her small head leaned back in trust, her small mouth slightly opened, and she was snoring sleepily.
"The dignified Prince Dong Jing has also become a gentleman on the Liang Liang. Haha." Qing Huan tilted her head and teased.
"Yes, and the one he stole was a beautiful little beauty.”Baili Che lowered his head and looked at Qing Huan. The stars in the sky seemed to fall into the eyes of the person in front of him. His eyes were still long and narrow, but there was an indescribable charm. Her cheeks were rosy from waking up, and her mouth was small and moist. He couldn't help but lean down and gently kiss her cheek.
It was thin, smooth, soft, and fragrant. She felt her heart soften.
Qing Huan rolled her eyes. Please forgive her for not being able to understand the young feelings of the person in front of her. He snorted again.
"Baili Che, aren't you afraid that my father will catch you?”Her soft voice carried a pleasant smile.
" Tell me," Baili Che pulled her hard." Are you secretly laughing every day when I'm locked outside by your father?"”
"Hey, how did you know…Ah." Qing Huan cried out.
Baili Che trapped Qing Huan in his arms, his hands under Qing Huan's armpits and started to move violently.
"Haha…Stop it…"
"Ah, third brother. I was wrong."
"Haha, I'm not sure. I won't dare to do it again. Haha."
"Ah…Che." The clear laughter spread far and wide, and they could not hold on any longer, so they kept begging for mercy.
Baili Che didn't want to let her off, but she called out softly," Che." It went straight into his heart. She stopped unconsciously and hugged Qing Huan in her arms again,""Huan 'er. Call me again."
"Ah, what?" Qing Huan's breathing quickened. He had laughed too intensely just now. In addition, his body had yet to recover, so he was really tired. However, this question was obviously playing dumb.
"Huan 'er. Good girl. Call me again." Baili Che softened his voice.
"What is it called? I don't want to." Qing Huan turned her head away from him. The corners of her mouth were curled up, and her eyes were curved.
"Haohuan 'er. Be obedient. Just call me." Baili Che patted Qing Huan's cheeks and demanded.
"What is it called? Baili Che?" Qing Huan smiled and turned to look at him.
"No."
"Third Brother?"
"That's not right. You know that." Baili Che pinched Qing Huan's cheeks and refused to let go.
"What? I don't know." Qing Huan broke free from Baili Che's hand. She only giggled.
"You." Baili Che looked at the sky. He felt that the fight had gone on for too long. Qing Huan's body had not recovered yet and needed to rest. It was late at night, and it was time to go back. He stopped pestering her and turned to face Qing Huan. He pinched her little nose and said dotingly," Forget it." I'll send you down. Time to rest."
After saying that, he held Qing Huan in his arms and turned around to enter the room. He gently placed Qing Huan on the bed. She put her coat aside and turned around to tuck in Qing Huan's blanket.
"Be good and sleep. I'm leaving. I'll come and see you tomorrow." With that, he turned around to leave.
"Che." A small hand tugged at his sleeve. The sweet voice seemed to be right beside his ear. It was a soft and short syllable with a lingering ending. It was just like this that he was able to give himself comfort and warmth on that night that he could not face, and he was able to tell the secret that had been trapped in his heart for many years.
Baili Che didn't know that his eyes were filled with gentleness at this moment. They were like a pond of spring water under the moon, sparkling and melodious. He turned around and bent down. He planted a kiss as light as a feather on Qing Huan's forehead. Without any confusion or desire. Clean, cherished, pious, and firm. It was like an oath.
Then, he turned around and left. The corners of his mouth were curled into a satisfied smile.
Qing Huan covered her forehead. Her eyes were sparkling and her cheeks were red. Oh, was she infected by him? It felt like his first love. She was a fake loli, a fake loli. Why did he still have this feeling? Her heart was thumping and her cheeks were burning.
"Ah!" Qing Huan covered herself with the blanket. He didn't want to think about it anymore. Sleep.
Qing Huan quickly fell asleep. The lights in Jing Hua Garden went out for the third time.
"Husband, go to sleep." Madam Nalan put her hand on her husband's shoulder.
General Nalan kept turning over, getting up, and then lying back down, like an ant on a hot pan. He was extremely frustrated. When he heard his wife comforting him, he said angrily,"How can I sleep? That brat can't even come during the day. He came every day in the middle of the night. He's disturbing Huan 'er's rest."
"Isn't that because you don't let people in during the day?”
"Why did you call him in?" General Nalan was unconvinced.
Madam Nalan pursed her lips and smiled. This Brother Jing seemed to be thirty years younger when it came to her daughter. He actually started arguing with the Third Prince. Really, hehe. It was really cute.
"General." A black figure stood outside the door and called out softly. It was Ma Shun.
"What is it?" General Nalan immediately stood up and asked.
"The Third Prince has left." Ma Shun had a dull nature and rarely smiled. At this moment, he was smiling faintly. He had never seen such a general before.
"Oh, I see. That was good. You should go back and rest too." General Nalan was relieved and sent Ma Shun away. After a while, she felt sleepy. In less than a quarter of an hour, she fell asleep. Madam Nalan, who was at the side, did not know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at her husband and closed her eyes.
"Master."
Baili Che returned to Che Hua Palace, washed up, and was about to go to bed. Yin San walked in.
"What is it?" Baili Che knew that if it wasn't for something important, Yin San wouldn't have bothered him so late at night.
"Master, the little princess of the Beihan Kingdom, Wanqi Xuya, is about to come to the East for a marriage alliance. She will arrive at Kuling City tomorrow. It is said that I have admired you for a long time. The emperor is happy to see it happen and will probably send you to welcome him.”
Baili Che frowned.”
"Yes, I am. His mother was the adoptive mother of the King of Beihan and had a very high status in Beihan. Wanqi Xuya was the most valuable princess in Beihan.”Yin San said in a low voice. The 13 Silver Guards all knew that their future mistress was General Nalan's youngest daughter, the young and talented girl. But Master's years of hard work cannot be wasted. It was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. At most, he would just dote on Miss Nalan more.
"Why did I only know the news when the princess arrived?”
"Master has been in General Nalan's residence recently, so he didn't report.”
Baili Che's brows were tightly furrowed as he understood. This marriage probably also determined the ownership of the throne: "You may leave."
"Master, Silver Clothing Valley, Red Jade Tomb."”
Baili Che clenched his fists and shut his eyes. Silver Clothing Valley, Red Jade Tomb. That was the place where his mother rested. She had once vowed to make those who had hurt her pay the price. For Baili Xiong and the Empress, the most suitable choice was to take the throne from their eldest brother. Then, destroy it.
As a prince, marriage was a means and a tool. However, he met Qing Huan. Marry Wanqi Xuya, get Beihan's support, and ascend to the throne. This was the best solution. Big Brother was calm and capable, but he lacked some dominance and ambition. Baili Xiong was ambitious. His timely performance should have made him more and more fond of him.
But Huan 'er.
It wasn't that he didn't know what feelings Huan 'er wanted, even though she didn't say it out loud. If she had to say it, it would be meaningless.
Perhaps, he only needed five years. Could she wait?
Baili Che lowered his head with a puzzled expression. He kept weighing the pros and cons. He sat on the bed without moving.
The night was as dark as ink. The darkest moment before dawn.
The morning light shone, and the light of dawn dyed the horizon bit by bit.
After the rooster crowed, the sky lit up bit by bit.
A eunuch in green asked the attendant outside the door,""Has Your Highness woken up? The emperor is summoning him."
"Eunuch Gong has worked hard. I will go and report to Master now.”the attendant replied respectfully.
"Yes, I am. Be more efficient."
"Yes, I am. Don't worry."
The eunuch left, and the attendant called out softly,""Your Highness. Your Highness."
No one answered, so he raised his voice a little."Your Highness, Your Highness. The emperor summons me."
The attendant looked at the already bright sky. If he didn't go, the Emperor would probably blame him. He mustered up his courage and went to push the door open.
Creak. Baili Che walked out and ordered,""Prepare the soup bath."
"Yes." The attendant replied. A chill ran down his spine. His Highness looked as if all his vitality had been sucked out, and he suddenly lost the happiness he had a few days ago.
"Greetings, Imperial Father." Baili Che bowed.
"Che 'er, come here." Baili Xiong was sitting behind a desk, approving memorials.
Baili Che walked over slowly, pausing with every step. It was like walking barefoot on cold ice. There were many times when we had already foreseen the sad ending, but we still had to walk over it bit by bit. Some injuries were clearly known but still had to be done.
We will never be able to see everything. He always had to sacrifice a little to gain a little.
Whatever he wanted, he had to let some down.
When he finally reached Baili Xiong, Baili Che smiled gently as usual,""Father."
"Che 'er is already thirteen years old. His father felt that Che 'er was the most suitable candidate for a marriage alliance with the Princess of the Beihan Kingdom.”
Father, Che 'er is only thirteen years old." Baili Che subconsciously wanted to do something. If Imperial Father were to bestow the marriage to someone else…He would not fight for it.
"That princess is twelve years old this year. Isn't it just nice? I'm not asking you to get married now. The Princess came with the Imperial Advisor to discuss the matter of borrowing food. This time, we only need to settle your marriage. You can marry her in a few years."
Baili Che did not respond.
"Is Che 'er unwilling? Actually, Imperial Father feels that your Eldest Brother and Second Brother are also capable. But your big brother is seventeen this year and can't wait for that little princess. Your second brother has been running around outside all year round. Only you are suitable. Moreover, the princess has already heard about you and likes you the most.”Baili Xiong was silent for a moment before he asked," Is it because of that little girl from the Nalan family?”
"Father." Baili Che lowered his head.
"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. He would marry the princess first before taking her in. The actions of the four great secondary consorts could not be considered to have wronged her.”Baili Xiong had already made up his mind." Go back and pack up. Tomorrow, bring people to Kuling City to welcome the princess.”
"I know." Baili Che replied in a low voice. It could be considered that he had agreed to this marriage.
Huan 'er, please wait for me.
Huan 'er, please.
Huan 'er.
Qing Huan was reading on the bed when she suddenly felt her heart palpitate. Looking at the sky, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
At this moment, General Nalan and Nalan Qinglang walked in together. Their faces were dark and furious.
Qing Huan got up and wanted to ask,"Father, brother." What's going on?" Cancel review all: wdd201302 Time:111420185:56PM
