Golden Branch

Wang Heng fell asleep.

Lou Yu turned around and lay on his side nearby.

He supported his head with one hand and stared at the sleeping person.

Inside the huge green pavilion, the tall candlesticks were dotted with flickering candlelight, and from time to time there were subtle beeping sounds.

In the air, besides the incense that Wang Heng usually used, there was also a faint scent of heather.

"Well!"

Wang Heng was also restless in her sleep.

Maybe it was because she was too tired today, or because she had encountered something she had never experienced before, or because she was not feeling well, but she let out a low moan in her sleep.

On the skin that is as white as frost and snow, there are red plum blossoms and an uncomfortable sticky feeling.

Hearing Wang Heng's hum, Lou Yu came back to his senses.

A pair of fox eyes scanned Wang Heng from head to toe, trying to find anything that made her uncomfortable.

Then--

"Someone! Bring in some hot water!"

As smart as Lou Yu was, he quickly discovered that something was wrong with Wang Heng.

He slowly sat up and gently gathered the collar of his pajamas.

Following his order, there was movement outside the tent.

Several maids came in one after another, carrying copper basins, copper kettles and cotton towels.

Lou Yu quickly raised his hand and pulled over the bright red silk quilt embroidered with gold thread to cover Wang Heng.

The leader among the maids was Bai Zhi, who was Wang Heng's personal maid and married into the Duke of Qi's mansion with her.

Now that the princess needs to be served, Bai Zhi has to do it herself.

Bai Zhi walked to the couch with the hot water in her hand. Just as she was about to lift the red gauze curtain, she heard a deep, condensed male voice: "Put your things down and get out!"

Bai Zhi was stunned:

go out?

What are you going out for?

If they go out, who will serve the princess?

"go out!"

Lou Yu's voice became increasingly cold, with obvious impatience.

If Bai Zhi wasn't someone Wang Heng needed, Lou Yu would probably have told her to get lost.

You really can’t blame Lou Yu for being rude. He waited for all these years and finally married Wang Heng home.

With the identity of husband, he can rightfully monopolize Aheng.

He wished he could take care of everything for Ah Heng himself and would never allow anyone else to interfere.

Even the servants who serve you personally are not allowed to do so!

Bai Zhi didn't know Lou Yu's domineering thoughts, but she could still hear the suppressed violence in Lou Langjun.

She couldn't help but feel her heart tremble slightly.

Bai Zhi and the others already knew what kind of person Mr. Lou was.

He is heartless and ruthless.

If any of the servants do not meet his liking, Lord Lou will deal with them without mercy.

Of course, Bai Zhi is Wang Heng's person, so she doesn't need to be afraid of Lou Yu, and should only obey Wang Heng's orders.

However, Wang Heng and Lou Yu have an unusual relationship, and Lou Yu is not an easy person to get along with.

Maids like Bai Zhi have served Wang Heng for many years and have also been with Lou Yu for many years.

They naturally understood that Lou Yu was their master whom they could not disobey!

"Yes!"

Bai Zhi and the other servants agreed, put the basin, kettle and other things on the table, then bowed and left.

After everyone had left and the door of Qinglu was closed again, Lou Yu stood up, walked to the table, and brought the copper basin filled with hot water to the high table in front of the couch.

A clean cotton towel was thrown into the basin, wetted, rubbed, and wrung out the water. Lou Yu then took the wet and hot towel and gently and carefully wiped Wang Heng.

From head to toe, inside and outside, Lou Yu did not miss a single inch.

When Lou Yu's hand touched a pair of jade-white feet, it stopped.

He stared at it in a trance as a large, white, slender hand gently grasped the slender and beautiful ankle.

“It’s really thin!”

Lou Yu sighed softly. He was sure that if he exerted a little force, he could break it.

Although it is slender, it does not feel bony.

The place where he touched was tender and soft as if it had no bones, which made Lou Yu touch and knead it repeatedly.

Many images that only exist in dreams or on drawing paper flashed through my mind.

Suddenly, Lou Yu thought of something, gently loosened his hands, walked a few steps to the clothes rack, and found the purse he wore daily from the hanging belt.

He untied his purse and took out a thin chain of pure gold.

The golden anklet is very delicate, with hollow patterns, flowers, and two or three small bells.

Lou Yu held it in his hand, and the anklet hung in the air, making a crisp tinkling sound.

He returned to the bed and put the anklet on Wang Heng's ankle.

The size is just right.

The plain white anklet and the red gold anklet complement each other perfectly.

"It's exactly as I imagined!"

While Lou Yu was satisfied, he had a new idea: "Order someone to make another one inlaid with rubies!"

The bright red gemstones, falling on the snow-like skin, will surely become more beautiful and charming.

After putting on the anklet, Lou Yu put the little foot back into the quilt.

With a "pop", Lou Yu threw the cotton towel back into the basin and said in a deep voice: "Someone come!"

Baizhi and other servants were guarding outside the Qinglu. When they heard the sound, they hurriedly pushed the door open and came in.

"Pick these up!"

Lou Yu stood in front of the couch and gave instructions in a low voice.

Bai Zhi subconsciously glanced at Wang Heng lying on the couch. Her master was still sleeping peacefully.

It seems that there is nothing abnormal!

Although she knew that Lord Lou would not harm the princess, as a loyal servant, Bai Zhi was still worried instinctively.

Seeing that Wang Heng was fine, Bai Zhi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, fell back to its original place.

She took other servants with her to clean up the basins, copper kettles and other items, and wiped away the water stains on the ground.

After a busy period of cleaning up, Bai Zhi and the other servants bowed and left.

In Qinglu, only a newlywed couple was left again.

Lou Yu returned to the couch, lay down, and took Wang Heng into his arms.

Wang Heng was sleeping very soundly and was not woken up even though she was being treated like this.

She murmured unconsciously, twisted her body, found a relatively comfortable position in Lou Yu's arms, and continued to sleep.

She rested her head on him, her long, thick black hair spread out like seaweed, covering Lou Yu's entire chest.

A small face, half lying down, its warm breath brushed his chest through the open collar.

A small hand casually rested on his side, and Lou Yu resisted the urge to hold it.

In the end, he just held the little girl's shoulders, hugged her, and slowly closed his eyes.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The brilliant sunshine poured into the yard, bathing the entire Qinglu in it.

Lou Yu had woken up long ago. He practiced martial arts all year round, and no matter whether it was the coldest or hottest time of the year, he would get up on time and go to the training ground.

Today, Lou Yu stayed in bed for the rare occasion.

My chest felt slightly heavy, the little girl was still sleeping soundly.

Lou Yu didn't move, for fear of waking her up.

It was not until the sounds of servants busying around outside could be heard that Wang Heng slowly woke up.

"...Brother?"

Wang Heng raised her head and met a handsome face.

She was stunned at first, and obvious surprise and panic flashed in her smart Litchi eyes.

But soon, she realized: Yes, I have married my brother!

We are husband and wife now!

Last night was our wedding night.

My brother and I...

boom!

Thinking of what happened last night, Wang Heng's face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

"Awake? Did you sleep well last night?"

Lou Yu kept staring at the person in his arms, and naturally would not miss Wang Heng's waking up and her changing little face.

Lowering his head slightly, Lou Yu asked softly.

The gentle voice sounded like thunder to Wang Heng's ears.

She quickly raised her arms and tried to sit up, but the starting point was not the bed, but——

Wang Heng became more and more shy, and felt confused and flustered.

After a lot of trouble, not only did he fail to escape quickly, but he fell back into the arms again.

Lou Yu did not reach out to help, but instead put his hands behind his head and watched Wang Heng fluttering around like a rabbit calmly.

Wang Heng: …

How embarrassing! How awkward!

What was even more embarrassing and awkward was that she struggled for a long time before she suddenly realized that she was naked.

Where are the pajamas?

Where are her pajamas?

Also, what's with all this aches and pains all over my body?

"..."

Lou Yu finally couldn't help it and laughed softly.

His laughter was very low, but Wang Heng, lying on top of him, could clearly feel the rise and fall and vibration of his chest.

Wang Heng’s numb face: I’m tired, let’s destroy it!

……

Someone laughed enough, then helped a little girl and slowly sat up.

"Aheng, can I help you change your clothes?"

As he spoke, his deep eyes were full of anticipation.

Snapped!

Wang Heng slapped the back of his hand and said, "No!"

Humph, you make fun of her and still want to take advantage of her?

No way!

Wang Heng was in a state of half understanding now, but even if she didn't understand, she knew that she and her brother had become husband and wife.

The two of them are extremely close, but they can't really be open and honest with each other.

Especially when someone is a hungry wolf with bad intentions!

"Really? You want to do it yourself? Ah Heng, aren't you tired?"

Lou Yu felt a little disappointed, but for the sake of what he wanted, he still wanted to fight for it again: "Let me help you. We still have to go to the ancestral hall later!"

Can't miss the time.

But Wang Heng did not let Lou Yu lead her by the nose. He gave her two choices, so she had to choose one of them?

impossible!

There was clearly a third option: "I'm tired, but I don't want you to help me! Bai Zhi! Bai Wei! Come in and serve me!"

Wang Heng continued to slap Lou Yu's arm, trying to break free from his arms, while shouting loudly.

Lou Yu: ...Well, Ah Heng is really smart. Even in such an embarrassing situation, she can still keep some common sense.

Feeling regretful in his heart, Lou Yu also knew that this was the limit and he couldn't tease her any further.

Otherwise, the little girl would really get angry.

How should he coax her then?

kneel?

Is it Yeah?

Well, it doesn't seem impossible.

Lou Yu had a gentle and gentlemanly face, but all he was thinking about were pictures that needed to be blurred.

Maids such as Baizhi entered one after another, holding various toiletries.

Lou Yu stood up. He didn't need any servants to serve him and went around to the outside of the screen.

Wang Heng let the maids help her change clothes and wash, and then she sat in front of the dressing table to comb her hair and put on makeup.

Lou Yu had already changed into a brand new pink round-necked blouse. When she returned to behind the screen, she saw the maid putting makeup on Wang Heng.

He moved his fingers slightly, "Aheng, I will draw your eyebrows for you, okay?"

Wang Heng looked at herself in the mirror, more beautiful than a flower. After a moment's thought, she said, "Forget about drawing my eyebrows. Can you draw my flower ornaments for me, brother?"
