The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

Qi Yejing's heart moved, and he immediately held her hand.

"Aning, don't worry, I'm here and I will never let anything happen to you."

"Of course I believe in the emperor, but the palace is deep and full of spies. It's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid. I'm here for you. I won't let anything happen to you. Absolutely not."

Although she knew that Qi Yejing's promise was useless, Yun Zhining was still very happy to hear him say that.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. It's too cold outside. Let's go in quickly."

"it is good."

After entering, Qi Yejing first had someone strip Yun Zhining of her clothes, then boiled some hot water and let her take a bath before changing her into new clothes.

He also took a bath, changed his clothes, and drank ginger soup to avoid catching a cold.

He was not afraid of catching a cold, but if the matter got out, Yun Zhining would be blamed, and that was not what he wanted to see.

After everything was done, the two leaned against the head of the bed and talked.

As Yun Zhining was talking, she suddenly remembered something.

"Your Majesty, didn't you go back to Longqian Palace to sleep last night? Why did you suddenly come to Qingning Palace?"

"You came here without even knocking. You sat alone under the palace eaves. What if something bad happened to you?"

Qi Yejing was silent for a moment, then spoke softly.

"After what happened last night, I felt so upset that I lay in bed for a long time without falling asleep."

"I finally felt a little sleepy, but was woken up by someone, and then I couldn't fall asleep again."

"I was feeling very upset, so I just wanted to go out for a walk. Who knew I would end up at Qingning Palace?"

"It's strange, but as soon as I saw the plaque of Qingning Palace and thought of you, I felt at ease and fell asleep."

A trace of heartache flashed across Yun Zhining's eyes.

"Your Majesty, next time you encounter this situation, just ask someone to open the door for you. If you don't want to trouble others, just climb over the wall and come in."

"Don't ever stand outside like you did last night, enduring the ravages of the wind and snow."

"If you make yourself sick, I will never talk to you again."

"Humph!"

"Good good."

Seeing that Yun Zhining was angry, Qi Yejing quickly made a promise.

"Don't worry, if I encounter this kind of situation next time, I will definitely ask someone to open the door for me."

"It's strange, no matter how big my worries are, as long as I come to you, all those things will be thrown behind my mind, and I can sleep very well."

"Tell me the truth, did you give me some drugs?"

"how is this possible?"

Yun Zhining glanced at him and snorted coldly.

"I just found a recipe by accident while reading a book, and then asked Doctor Chen to take a look. After confirming that there was no problem, he prescribed a fragrance."

"The fragrance is very light, and those who smell it will temporarily forget all their worries and calm down. I also added some dishes that can soothe people's emotions to the diet, so you will feel relaxed and comfortable when you come to my place."

"Of course, there is another possibility..."

"What's possible?"

Yun Zhining curved her eyebrows and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Perhaps, Your Majesty, you like me very much, so you are very happy every time you see me. When you are in a good mood, your spirit is relaxed, so you can fall asleep peacefully and sleep until dawn. After waking up, you feel relaxed all over, as if you have been reborn."

Qi Yejing supported his chin with his hand, thought for a moment, then nodded as if it was a matter of fact.

"It's not impossible."

Yun Zhining chuckled.

"Okay, okay, you stayed out all night last night, I guess you didn't sleep well. Take advantage of the time you have nothing to do now and make up for it, otherwise you won't have time to sleep again when the court opens in a few days."

"Okay, but you have to sleep with me."

"I want to sleep with you, too."

A sound exploded in her ears. Yun Zhining turned stiffly and saw a tiny person appear at the door.

Her eyelids trembled violently.

"Little Grape, why are you running here so early in the morning instead of sleeping?"

"I was planning to go outside and play in the snow, but when I heard that my father was coming, I came to see him."

"Mom, do you want to sleep together? Take me with you, okay?"

"not good!"

Yun Zhining waved her hands as if she was shooing away a fly.

"Don't you want to play in the snow? Go ahead and do it. Don't disturb us while we sleep."

"Mother, ..."

Seeing that Yun Zhining ignored her, Little Grape had no choice but to look at Qi Yejing with a pitiful look.

Qi Yejing's heart softened instantly.

"Aning, it's still early and there's nothing much to do, so let Little Grape sleep with us."

"Children grow up so fast. If I don't spend time with her and care for her when I have nothing to do, she won't need my care when she grows up."

"You are such a girl-loving maniac!"

"I can't help it. Little Grape is the first child born after I ascended the throne. She is also my first daughter. If I don't spoil her, am I going to spoil someone else?"

"Okay, okay."

Yun Zhining was completely defeated by him.

"What are you doing standing still?"

"Your father has already agreed to let you sleep with us, why don't you hurry up and come up?"

"If you don't want to come up, go out and play. Don't disturb us from sleeping."

"No, I'll be right there!"

Little Grape closed the door, ran over quickly, threw away her shoes, and threw herself into Yun Zhining's arms.

Qi Yejing was startled and quickly hugged her.

"Your mother just had a miscarriage last night. She is still very weak and can't stand you doing this."

"If you want to play, come find Father, and he will play with you."

"Know it!"

Little Grape nodded obediently and played with Qi Yejing for a while. Seeing that Yun Zhining's eyelids could no longer hold up, she got off him and lay between the two of them. Each of them took one of her hands and placed it on her belly, then slowly closed her eyes.

Sleeping seems to be contagious. Even if you have just woken up and are not very sleepy yet, as long as there is someone sleeping next to you, you will be affected and feel groggy and want to sleep.

So after a while, all three of them fell asleep.

The sunlight shines through the gauze curtains and falls on their faces. It is quiet and beautiful. How wonderful it would be if time could stay at this moment forever?
