The Prince Consort's Beloved

The eldest princess’ birthday banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. Li Yuanrou had already made arrangements with Xiao Luobai to attend the banquet together.

During the day, the little girl packed up all of Xiao Luobai's things and moved into the Qingmei Garden with Qingfeng.

Although Qingfeng stopped talking nonsense, he still looked unwilling. He felt that Princess Shanyang was not sincere to her master. He didn't know how much money her brother and sister had taken from their master.

Qingfeng thought that Princess Shanyang was not a kind person and she must have some ulterior motive for doing this.

Xiao Luobai came back exhausted, holding a dog in his arms, and actually brought Wangcai with him.

Li Yuanrou was overjoyed, and Wangcai circled around her as if he recognized her.

Li Yuanrou stroked the dog's head lovingly, her smile never falling. She smiled at Xiao Luobai and said, "It was so small back then, but it's so big now. Wangcai is ten years old now, so he is really not small anymore."

Xiao Luobai looked at the man and the dog, sitting alone at the table, without saying a word.

Li Yuanrou also ordered people to lay cushions in the house to make a doghouse for Wangcai, intending for the two of them and the dog to live in the same room.

Xiao Luobai poured himself a cup of tea in annoyance, and couldn't help looking at Li Yuanrou who was grinning and stroking the dog's head. He regretted it so much that he wanted to bite his teeth to pieces. He was really stupid to go and pick up Wangcai.

Although Wangcai can find people by smell, bringing him to the princess's mansion might be useful, but...

Xiao Luobai sighed deeply in his heart.

While petting the dog, Li Yuanrou mentioned the birthday party gift, saying that she hadn't chosen a suitable gift and hoped that Xiao Luobai could make a decision. There was only one day left and she didn't know if he could prepare it. Xiao Luobai agreed immediately and told Li Yuanrou not to worry about it, he would take care of it.

After washing, they took off their outer robes and went to bed. The bed was big enough, Li Yuanrou lay inside, Xiao Luobai lay outside, and Wangcai lay in the middle. Xiao Luobai threw Wangcai off the bed several times and let it sleep in his own doghouse, but Wangcai jumped up again without giving up and wanted to lie between the two of them.

Xiao Luobai regretted his decision and was so angry that he couldn't sleep looking at the dog in Li Yuanrou's arms. According to his plan, the two of them would sleep in the same bed, and it would be logical for him to hold Li Yuanrou in his arms, but now it turned out like this.

Li Yuanrou and Gou Zi became true love, and he became an accident.

Li Yuanrou looked at the man and the dog beside her, grabbing the corners of the quilt and couldn't help laughing. She remembered the divine song adapted from The Legend of Zhen Huan that she had watched on a short video before: Huanhuan, if you let him spend the winter with you, can I sleep in the middle~

Xiao Luobai had dull eyes and said nothing, like a dead body with its eyes open. Finally, he waited until Li Yuanrou fell asleep. He exhaled a breath, gently threw Wangcai off the bed, covered Wangcai with his quilt, quietly slid into Li Yuanrou's quilt, slowly covered her from behind, gently embraced the beauty in his arms, and finally got what he wanted, and closed his eyes as if to close them.

When she woke up the next day, Li Yuanrou was shocked when she saw the big hand on her waist, and her posture became even more unscrupulous, using her hands and feet to wrap around Xiao Luobai like an octopus.

She was suddenly embarrassed, her face burning like a boiled shrimp. She was about to apologize for her bad sleeping posture, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she felt something hard against her waist.

Her alarm bells rang and she dared not move. Then she thought that since she was clinging on someone like that, it was no wonder that they reacted.

Xiao Luobai coughed lightly and said, "Wangcai took my quilt away. I felt cold in my sleep so I just grabbed a quilt. I didn't expect..."

I didn't expect to catch you by chance.

Li Yuanrou looked at the dog lying on the ground. Wangcai looked at her with a resentful face and made a sound that sounded like a coquettish question.

If the dog could talk, it would definitely scold that although it is not a human, Xiao Luobai is a real dog.

Not long after Xiao Luobai left, someone brought him two sets of gorgeous clothes, a large box of jewelry, and a sapphire headpiece, saying that they were sent by the prince consort.

A set of men's robes and a set of women's dresses, both are sky blue and seem to be made from the same piece of cloth.

Is this a couple outfit?

Li Yuanrou looked at the light blue clothes, it seemed that Xiao Luobai liked this color very much.

Daya smiled from ear to ear and held the jewelry box to show Li Yuanrou.

The gold filigree lantern hairpin is lifelike, the kingfisher-inlaid pearl hairpin is dazzling, the lily and gem-inlaid butterfly hairpin is lifelike, and the gilt and gem-inlaid cloud pattern hairpin is extremely luxurious.

Daya, who is used to seeing good things, couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Your Ma Consort is really good, all of them are in excellent condition, just these few pieces are enough to cover the expenses of our family for half a year."

After nightfall, Xiao Luobai had not returned yet. The north wind was howling outside, breaking the silence of the night.

Li Yuanrou was lying on the chaise longue holding Wangcai. The charcoal basin in the room was burning very brightly. She was afraid that Xiao Luobai would not be able to keep warm in time after he came back.

A spark flew from the charcoal fire, Li Yuanrou yawned and closed her eyes. When Xiao Luobai came back, she had already fallen asleep on the couch, with Wangcai dozing off in her arms.

Xiao Luobai threw Wangcai into the doghouse, then gently carried Li Yuanrou to the bed, stripped off her coat, and lay down beside her.

Li Yuanrou opened her hazy eyes and murmured, "You're back."

She turned sideways to face him, put her arms around his strong waist, buried her head in his arms and fell asleep again. She did this in one go as if she had gotten used to it over the years, even though they had only slept in the same bed for a day or two.

Xiao Luobai's slender fingers brushed her back and patted her twice. He felt a slight itch in his heart and the blood gathered somewhere in his body. He took a deep breath, his long eyelashes covering his eyes, and felt the warmth in his arms, feeling satisfied in his heart.

Being able to hold her in his arms every day was a long-cherished wish that had once been out of reach. He could wait, wait for time to reward him, wait for the spring breeze to come.

Wait until he finishes what he promised to the princess.

Time brews wine, the aftertaste turns into flowers, and there is a long way to go.

He was in no hurry; they still had several decades to go.

When Li Yuanrou woke up the next day, she found that she had a very bad sleeping posture, with her whole body hanging on Xiao Luobai. Xiao Luobai looked to be in poor spirits, with some dark circles under his eyes. It should be because he did not sleep well because of the disturbance caused by her.

She apologized self-reproachfully: "I'm sorry, I don't sleep very well. If you can't sleep well here, why don't you go back to Qingzhu Garden? It's not good to not get enough rest like this all the time."

Xiao Luobai patted her on the back and said, "It's none of your business. It was Wangcai who always jumped onto the bed at night and woke me up. Let Wangcai sleep in Qingfeng Room from tomorrow on."

Wangcai snorted from his nose. He was really lying with open eyes. The world was going downhill. If he could speak like a human, he would definitely scold Xiao Luobai to death.

Today they went to the eldest princess' birthday banquet together. They both changed into the Tianshui green robes delivered yesterday. The woman's decorations were more complicated and it took her longer to dress up than the man.

When Li Yuanrou came out, Xiao Luobai was already waiting. She was wearing light makeup, and stood tall and graceful. Her sweet smile made people feel like a spring breeze. Her peach blossom eyes were full of affection, her skin was as white as cream, her waist was as thin as a ribbon, and her brilliance was revealed in her eyes.

The two of them stood together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, just like a perfect couple.

Everyone was fascinated.

Daya nudged Qingfeng with her shoulder and said, "How about it? Are you stunned? What a perfect match. A perfect match made in heaven, a talented and pretty girl."

Qingfeng pursed her lips and said nothing.

The weather is nice today, and the sunshine adds a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

Xiao Luobai held Li Yuanrou's hand in his own and took her into the carriage.
