An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

His Xier must have spent a lot of time and effort, and her energy must have been greatly damaged. Last night, when he learned that she had finally woken up, he went out to the palace gate to greet her. The moment he saw her, he discovered that her originally round and lovely oval face had become a pointed and cute melon-seed face, and she was so pale that it made people feel distressed. However, she still cared about his safety and came for him.

At that moment, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness and felt useless. In the most critical and dangerous moments, Xier was always thinking about him, protecting him, and even saving him from danger many times.

However, the entire plan that he had carefully laid out happened to hurt the girl first, and almost put her into an irretrievable situation.

I don’t know why I had such a beautiful and strange dream.

The moment he woke up, Jing Chunxi immediately realized that his dream was clearly about walking into the bridal chamber of a newlywed couple.

So when she suddenly saw Xu Zize's face so close to her, she immediately felt guilty and ashamed for her reckless dream and the words that came out of her mouth. Her cheeks turned slightly hot and she was speechless for a moment. She didn't know how to respond to him, and her eyes flickered as if trying to avoid his gaze.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zize stared at her with scorching eyes, love and regret swirling in his eyes. His emotions were so intense that he subconsciously pursed his lips, and the force was so strong that he almost bit his lips to bleed without realizing it.

The pair of peach blossom eyes that always smiled at her were even covered with a thin layer of water, rippling with unspeakable pain and pity. He was completely immersed in his own emotions and did not immediately notice her embarrassment and discomfort at the moment.

"Xi'er wants to see what kind of beauty she is."

In the uneasy silence, Jing Chunxi himself didn't know why, as if to break the deadlock, but also as if with a bit of inexplicable anger, he suddenly muttered this sentence in a low and rapid voice.

The voice was as light as a feather, but it fell clearly into Xu Zize's ears.

……

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zize was obviously stunned and paused for a moment. A trace of surprise flashed across his face, and then he was a little bewildered, as if he had not expected her to suddenly ask such a question, and as if he had not thought about how to answer, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.

Seeing his reaction like this, Jing Chunxi suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart for no reason, as if an inexplicable emotion was blocked in mid-air.

She suddenly lifted the quilt from her body and climbed up. As she moved, she realized belatedly that Princess Anyang was no longer around her. She was the only one on the bed, and there were only the two of them facing each other in the huge room. The air seemed to have become thinner.

"I..." She suddenly felt at a loss, her heart distraught, as if something was thrashing around in her chest, unable to find an outlet. She simply used the situation as an excuse to lash out, turning her head away from him, her voice tinged with a hint of irritation she wasn't even aware of, "Forget it if you don't want me to see it."

After saying that, she quickly turned around and crawled out of the warm bed as if to escape from this suffocating atmosphere, intending to land and leave.

"what!"

As soon as her feet touched the cold and firm pedals, she suddenly felt cold and realized that she was only wearing a thin white undergarment, with her curves vaguely visible.

This made her even more flustered. She let out a soft cry and quickly retracted her feet onto the bed like a frightened deer. Then she hurriedly grabbed the quilt next to her and wrapped herself tightly around it, curling up into a ball. However, she didn't expect that this series of clumsy and panicked movements had been seen by someone.

"Xi'er, don't be afraid," Xu Zize's voice sounded in time, his voice slightly hoarse with some suppressed emotions, "Brother Xiaokang, turn around, you get dressed first."

As he spoke, he immediately stood up and turned to the wall, his back to the bed, his body straight but stiff.

Jing Chunxi then remembered that she had entered the palace alone last night, without a single maid. Now that no one was there to serve her, she had to do it herself.

There was no other way, so she first quickly glanced at the figure standing upright with his back to her, and confirmed that he did not turn back. Only then did she cautiously reach out and grab the brand new dress that obviously did not belong to her and was draped on the back of the chair beside the bed, and hurriedly put it on.

From behind came the subtle but clear sounds of dressing, the friction of fabric, the slight clash of rings and bracelets, and her occasional, suppressed, rapid breathing. All these subtle movements were infinitely amplified in the silent room, and penetrated into the ears of Xu Zize, who was lying with his back to the bed, making him uneasy and his blood boiling.

It was obvious that the two of them had been together day and night for several years, and had almost never deliberately avoided suspicion, and were very close. However, at this moment, because of the lingering estrangement, strong emotions and this ambiguous and awkward situation, they seemed extremely distant and yet extremely close, which made his heart beat fast and he could hardly control himself.

Suddenly, he remembered the words she blurted out when she just woke up. Xu Zize's heart tightened suddenly. He knew that this stage would be difficult after all, and the girl still had some resentment and grievances in her heart.

He couldn't help but feel uneasy and apprehensive. But what he was most worried about at the moment was not that she would be petty, but that she would be too worried and anxious, which would lead to something uncomfortable.

If the girl gets into any trouble again because of him, he will never forgive himself.

He took a deep breath, looked at the wall in front of him, and explained in a low and urgent voice, trying to break the uncomfortable silence and also trying to comfort her.

"When we were in the cave, it wasn't just her and me. Besides the eight secret guards hiding in the shadows, who were on constant alert, the attendants and guards were also not far away, responding to calls instantly. There would be no... there would be no chance of anything going against the rules that would allow her to take advantage of us, and there would be no chance of Xi'er misunderstanding us."

He paused, organizing his words, trying to make his point more clearly.

"What about in the capital?" Jing Chunxi originally knew that he was not such a ridiculous person. After experiencing all the thrilling things last night, she understood more thoroughly that all this was part of his plan. His original intention was to exclude her, keep her away from the center of danger, and protect her safety.

She actually understood it in her heart, but at this moment she just didn't want to let him go so easily. She didn't want to pursue the matter at first, but suddenly she felt like teasing him and wanted to hear what he had to say, so she interrupted him. Her voice came from behind her in a muffled voice, with a hint of deliberately pretended coldness.

"In the capital?...Puchi..." When Xu Zize heard the question, he remembered his reputation as a "romantic man" that was widely spread among the people in the capital, almost known to everyone, and almost chewed to pieces. Then he compared it with the actual situation. The strong contrast and absurdity made him unable to hold back and he burst out laughing. The tense atmosphere also loosened a little.

Jing Chunxi didn't tolerate him, and as if stimulated by his laughter, he suddenly raised his head. Even though his back was turned, he could still feel the dissatisfied glare.

Xu Zize immediately stopped laughing, touched his nose, coughed lightly to cover it up, and then hurriedly shouted outside: "Qingfeng, call Jiuyue in."

"Yes," Qingfeng's clear and steady response came immediately from outside the door.

Xu Zize then turned around and gave Jing Chunxi a slightly embarrassed and flattering smile. He quickly added, continuing to pass on the message outside, his voice returning to its usual clear and bright tone: "Just let her dress like she did a few days ago."

"September also entered the palace?" Jing Chunxi's hand, which was tying his belt, paused slightly, a little surprised.

On second thought, the only ones who could get his permission and have the ability to sneak into the palace with her for personal protection must be July or September, who are the most agile and alert.

"Yeah!" Xu Zize didn't explain much, but just responded with a simple affirmative.

He stared at the door awkwardly, as if expecting a savior to arrive soon, wishing he could stare a flower out of the carved wooden door.
