After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Nanny Li was hiding behind a big tree not far away. It was dark and she squinted her eyes. She could only see a rough outline of the figure, just a back view.

She saw Shangguan Shu drink a sip of wine, then look down at the princess in his arms. The princess was quiet and didn't make any noise. It seemed that the two of them were quite harmonious.

Nanny Li felt relieved a little, thinking that although Prince Meng Lang had gone too far in the past, he was, after all, a man of status from a large family, and would not do such a disrespectful thing!

Indeed, Shangguan Shu didn't do anything else. Didn't he just feed the wine to Zhao Ying and then drink it from Zhao Ying's mouth?

Isn't it just doing it again and again, and never getting tired of it?

This is not a big deal, I already have five children...

When the Peach Blossom Drunk was almost finished, Shangguan Shu shook the bottle with an unsatisfied look, put it down, then lowered his head, put his cheek against Zhao Ying affectionately, and murmured, "Ying'er, Ying'er..."

He really loves her and likes her so much...

The fragrance of flowers and wine filled the air, the spring night was slightly cool, and the night breeze blew away his lust. At this moment, he simply liked her and instinctively wanted to be with her. Even if they just sat there together until the end of time, it would be great.

Zhao Ying leaned on Shangguan Shu's shoulder, her eyes were dull and her black pupils blinked from time to time but were out of focus. It seemed that she was really drunk.

Shangguan Shu followed her gaze and looked up at the sky. There were many stars. Shangguan Shu pointed to one and said softly, "This is Ji, one of the seven stars in the east. It is also called Nanji. The Book of Songs says, 'There is a dustpan in the south, but it cannot be used to winnow...'"

Shangguan Shu pointed at the stars in the sky and explained them to Zhao Ying one by one. He didn't care whether Zhao Ying listened or not. He just wanted to chat with Zhao Ying, even if he had nothing to say!

Fortunately, he reads a lot of books and doesn't talk nonsense.

Suddenly, Zhao Ying raised his hand, pointed at the brightest star in the sky, and asked, "What star is this?"

Shangguan Shu was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. Ying'er was not drunk to death, and she could still hear him talking!

"That is the Purple Star, which is..."

Shangguan Shu looked up at the Purple Star in the sky, and suddenly, the smile on his lips stopped. Then, he frowned and put on a solemn expression.

Zhao Ying did not respond.

Shangguan Shu pondered for a while and said calmly, "That is the Emperor Star, the Emperor Star surrounded by the Big Dipper. The dark one is your father, and the one next to him..."

Shangguan Shu paused, lowered his eyes, and looked at Zhao Ying's face. His voice was three times softer than the spring breeze. "If I'm not mistaken, it belongs to Zhao Xi."

Zhao Xi’s Emperor Star is shining.

……

After Shangguan Shu finished speaking, Zhao Ying fell asleep.

Shangguan Shu carried her back to the dormitory.

There was a dim candle light in the room. Shangguan Shu held Zhao Ying close to the bed. On the inside of the bed, Shangguan Qingyue was blowing bubbles from her mouth, with her hands raised in surrender, sleeping soundly. The quilt had been kicked under her feet, and her belly rose and fell with her breathing. Shangguan Shu looked at her with curved eyebrows.

Shangguan Shu gently put Zhao Ying on the bed. The little guy might have felt the breath of his mother, and rolled towards Zhao Ying in a daze, then buried his head in Zhao Ying's arms.

Shangguan Shu pulled up the quilt and covered the mother and daughter, and then... as usual, he opened the cupboard and made the bed on the floor.

When Nanny Li outside saw Shangguan Shu carrying Zhao Ying into the house and not coming out for a long time, she suddenly became anxious. She eavesdropped at the door for a long time, but was relieved when she didn't hear anything she shouldn't have.

If the prince really wanted to do something inappropriate while her princess was drunk, it would be quite embarrassing for her to go in this time.

But she probably wouldn't do that, because the little lady was still inside, and she would never do that in front of a child...

Since there is nothing like that, then you have to leave!

Nanny Li opened the door quietly and went in, intending to coax Shangguan Shu away. However, when she lifted the beaded curtain, the scene she saw made her almost unable to control herself and scream out. When she came to her senses, she covered her mouth tightly and looked at the man on the ground in disbelief.

Shangguan Shu has excellent hearing, how could he not hear someone coming in?

He didn't care about losing face, he stood up and looked at Nanny Li with a warning in his eyes.

Nanny Li nodded at him repeatedly and left in a hurry.

Shangguan Shu was very depressed. This damned slave, if she found out, she would definitely tell Zhao Ying, and then he wouldn't be able to come here secretly anymore!

No matter! He just won't admit it. Let's see what they can do to him!

Nanny Li closed the door, feeling a surge of bitterness in her heart.

Oh...it's so pitiful...

A prince of a duke, with so much power in his hands, was so humble as to secretly sleep on the floor...

Even though she feels jealous, she will still complain to the princess tomorrow!

Nanny Li held her head high, puffed out her chest, snorted, and walked away in big strides.

The next morning.

Nanny Li had been waiting outside with the maids early in the morning, waiting for Zhao Ying to call for service. She thought to herself that when she saw the princess, she would tell her in detail what she had seen yesterday!

However, she underestimated Shangguan Shu.

In the room, Shangguan Shu waited until dawn and did not leave. He lay flat on the ground with clear eyes and a cunning look on his face.

Only when he heard some movement from the bed did Shangguan Shu close his eyes and pretend to be asleep.

Zhao Ying patted the "big meat worm" of the cricket pupa in her arms in a daze, then opened her sleepy eyes. The scenes of last night instantly flooded into her mind. She was a little angry, but now was not the time to settle accounts with Shangguan Shu. Besides, he was not here to settle accounts with her.

"Mommy~" The little guy acted coquettishly in her arms. Zhao Ying coaxed him with a smile, then sat up. The next second, when she saw the person on the ground, the smile on Zhao Ying's mouth stopped abruptly.

"Shangguan Shu, why are you here?"

Shangguan Shu and Shangguan Qingyue were both awakened by Zhao Ying's shout. Shangguan Qingyue half stood up and leaned on Zhao Ying's arm, his big eyes blinking as he looked at his father who was slowly waking up on the ground.

Shangguan Shu looked at the mother and daughter on the bed, his eyes half asleep, his voice hoarse as if he had just woken up, "Ying'er, you're awake."

Zhao Ying suddenly remembered Shangguan Qingyue saying that she had seen Shangguan Shu in her bedroom. Could it be that he had been...

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying widened her eyes, "Why are you sleeping here!"

We even slept on the floor!

"I sleep here because..."

Shangguan Qingyue interrupted Shangguan Shu and looked at Zhao Ying, "Mother, I was right! It's Daddy!"

Shangguan Shu's mouth twitched slightly. Of course, you have such a good eye...

The mother and daughter then looked at Shangguan Shu with a common hatred and asked, "You don't come here secretly every night, do you?"

Shangguan Shu, however, did not feel the slightest bit of regret or guilt. Instead, he calmly stood up, walked to the bed, stretched out his hand, and touched Shangguan Qingyue's forehead with the back of his hand.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, it's not hot anymore."

The mother and daughter were puzzled, and Shangguan Shu explained, "You were drunk and unconscious last night. When I sent you back, I found that Yue'er had a fever. It was late at night and no one was taking care of her, so I kept her."

Shangguan Qingyue's tightly-knit eyebrows suddenly relaxed.

[It turns out that Daddy was afraid that I would get sick and no one would take care of me in the middle of the night, so he stayed and slept on the floor. Ugh, Daddy loves me so much! ]

The little guy pursed his lips and looked at Shangguan Shu with emotion. After a while, he stretched out his hand to him, "Daddy, give me a hug..."

Shangguan Shu picked up Shangguan Qingyue and chuckled in his heart, hehe.

Zhao Ying looked a little unnatural after hearing this. She misunderstood Shangguan Shu. She thought...

Zhao Ying couldn't help but look at the bedding on the ground, thinking that Shangguan Shu could do this for his daughter, and he could be called a good father... Never mind, considering how much he suffered last night, she would not bother with him about what happened last night.
