Marrying Gold and Jade

Why did the fire suddenly start?

Seeing that there was no spark in the hall, everyone became a little panicked. The emperor was unable to drop the golden crown in his hand, so he had to put it back on the tray in the eunuch's hand.

"Leave the palace first!"

Emperor Xianzhen gave the order, and Lin Yu wanted to leave immediately, but he heard someone shouting "Protect the emperor" and the eunuchs above were clearing the way for the emperor, so he turned around again.

Princess Pingyao beside her reacted very quickly. She took two steps with her heavy skirt in hand and saw that she was standing still, so she grabbed her arm.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave!"

Lin Yu was dragged and pulled by her, and later almost carried out of Wenhua Hall.

He didn't know how old the spring shirt given to him was. She was half a head taller than him and her legs were much longer, so Lin Yu had a hard time keeping up with her.

When I walked out of the palace, I could see a faint smell of smoke spreading into the palace.

Lin Yu was still ill, and his dress was heavy. He ran in a hurry, and as soon as he stood still, he covered his lips and started coughing.

The people in the hall, who had been in order just now, were now scattered in the open space outside the door, and occasionally court officials and eunuchs bumped into each other.

Lin Yu also heard several ceremonial officials standing near him, repeatedly saying things like "an unlucky sign" and "God is wrathful" and so on.

There was not even a spark in this fire, but it seemed to have burned Xu Jinxuan's reputation.

Pingyao saw that his father, the emperor and his mother had already left. He turned around and saw Lin Yu coughing non-stop. He couldn't help but teach her a lesson: "Silly, you are still so weak. If the fever really starts, you will be the first one to burn!"

Lin Yu didn't know why, but she, a princess with many people around her, could walk so fast while dragging herself.

"I've been sick lately and haven't recovered yet." Although she knew in her heart that even if she wasn't sick, she was not as strong as her.

Pingyao was about to say something else, but saw Xu Jinxuan just coming out of the hall, and he immediately spotted Lin Yu in the crowd.

Because of her mother, she had no intention of meeting this fifth brother. She only said to Lin Yu, "Come to the training ground to find me in a few days. I will take you to practice."

After saying this, he did not allow anyone to refuse and just turned and left.

Xu Jinxuan was the last one to leave the hall, and he immediately sent people to check the fire. Knowing that Lin Yu would be fine, he walked up to her consciously.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Lin Yu nodded.

There were several ceremonial officials surrounding the emperor. Emperor Xianzhen frowned and soon gave instructions in a clear voice: "The coming-of-age ceremony will be held on a later date. Everyone go back today."

Everyone responded and Xu Jinxuan took her hand, "Let's go."

The red robe he put on specially for the coming-of-age ceremony was extremely complicated, and the pendants on his waist collided with each other when he moved, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Who wants to harm you?"

The man walked a little ahead of her. Lin Yu couldn't see his expression, but she still couldn't help asking.

"It just so happened that during your coming-of-age ceremony, the palace next door caught fire."

Xu Jinxuan was still in doubt, but couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, so he needed to ask someone to investigate it carefully.

Turning back to meet her worried eyes, he just repeated, "Don't worry."

The original intention was to comfort her and not want her to worry about her own affairs, but in Lin Yu's eyes, it seemed to become a barrier.

Does not wanting to say mean that you don't trust me, or that you don't care at all?

He led the people all the way back to Chonghua Palace, and Xu Jinxuan immediately went to meet his confidant, and was unable to return in time for dinner.

Lin Yu only knew that he was very busy these days. Although he would come back at night, he didn't have time to have a good chat with him.

After three days, he finally returned to Chonghua Palace for dinner, looking more relaxed than before.

After dinner, I asked her, "Did you stop taking the medicine today?"

Her cold has almost healed, so she doesn't need to take any more medicine today, Lin Yu nodded truthfully.

Then he said, "Let's move to the main hall tonight."

When he had nothing to do, Lin Yu also went to see the main hall. It was decorated more exquisitely than the side hall, and the beds and dressing tables were also more luxurious.

Maybe it would be more comfortable than the side hall. She nodded, not doubting the man's motives.

It was not until bath time that Xu Jinxuan went behind the screen again after a long absence.

The palace maids who were originally standing outside the screen were nowhere to be seen. It was obvious that they had been dismissed by him.

"It's cold."

Lin Yu sank down against the tub. She wasn't too afraid of him, but was afraid that he would get out of control and catch a cold while bathing.

It's already midwinter.

Xu Jinxuan said "hmm", walked to her side, and his particularly bony hand rested on the edge of the wooden barrel.

"I'll help you wash it."

He has been very busy these days, and when he is busy he forgets to take care of himself, so she has been absent for many days compared to before.

Already used to being close to him, Lin Yu only said, "I don't want it."

When the man's hand finally fell on her shoulders and neck, and she saw that he did not make any unusual movements, she slowly relaxed and did not resist.

He was already very familiar with the strength in his hands, and pinching and releasing the girl's body actually relieved a lot of his fatigue.

"A little higher."

Xu Jinxuan moved up a few inches, not forgetting to put his hand out to test the water temperature, and stopped after more than ten times.

"The water is getting cold."

Just when she was feeling comfortable with someone massaging her shoulders, the massage suddenly stopped. Lin Yu looked up at him with dissatisfaction.

The steaming water vapor cast a faint red hue, and her originally beautiful eyebrows and eyes were now shimmering, making her look even more charming and beautiful when she was angry.

Almost being seduced, the man's hand climbed up her cheek and coaxed her: "Go to the bed and continue."

Lin Yu then turned back, thinking that it was not easy to ask him to serve her, so naturally she was unwilling to let him go easily.

But when I thought about him being behind me, I just didn't have the courage to stand up.

"You go out and wait."

Sitting in the tub was one thing, scrubbing yourself in front of him was another.

The man did not move, and even took the towel hanging beside him into his palm, and said to himself: "Can I help you?"

This is unwilling to avoid.

Lin Yu's face felt hot, and after a while her cheeks turned even redder. She still stood up hesitantly.

She wanted to take the towel from him, but he did as he said and started from her back, wiping it carefully.

Lin Yu had no choice but to try hard to ignore the discomfort in his heart, raised his hand, turned around, and cooperated very well.

Although he was always well-behaved and wrapped her in pajamas in time as if he was afraid that she would be cold, Lin Yu still had a premonition that this was just the calm before the storm, and once she lay down with him, he would not be so obedient.

The bed in the main hall is made of huanghuali wood. It is more spacious and covered with a canopy with a lotus pattern.

When he was picked up and put on the bed, Lin Yu hooked his arm around his neck and for some reason he suddenly felt palpitations.

He stared down at himself, intently.

It seemed as if the next moment, an irresistible kiss would fall.

Lin Yu didn't know if she was affected by the love poison, but just by being looked at by him like this, she became distracted and thought about their past.

But today Xu Jinxuan was very patient. He let down the bed curtains, and the two of them were hidden inside. No matter how they looked at each other, they could only see each other.

Lin Yu was caught again while secretly looking at him, and quickly looked away.

"Lie down." Xu Jinxuan said.

Lin Yu suppressed her panic and did as he was told. His hand fell to the junction of shoulder and neck.

"Was this the place just now?"
