The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Upon hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Murong Jiu seemed to realize something, and two blushes appeared on her face. She lowered her head and said, "My lord, you should go to sleep first..."

"Oh……"

Jia Daoshi was a little confused. It seemed that there was only one decent bed in the house. In such cold weather, why wasn't Murong Jiu sleeping? What was she going to do?

But he was too lazy to think about it anymore, so he took off his coat and climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

But after he got into bed, Murong Jiu showed no intention of getting up. Instead, she picked up the oil lamp and said, "Sister Qinglin, let's go to the side room."

"Hmm," Di Qinglin responded softly from the side.

Jia Daoshi: "..."

Judging from the way the two sisters are acting, this must be their normal daily routine!

They didn't even sleep together at night. It seems that Jia Daoshi was indeed no good before!

How could any normal man remain unmoved by a woman in his lap?

Just as Jia Daoshi was stunned, Di Qinglin sat up. Because Murong Jiu had taken away the oil lamp, Di Qinglin had already removed the black veil from his face, and his dark green eyes shone brightly in the night!

Jia Daoshi had never seen such beautiful eyes before!

Like the brightest star in the night sky!

Di Qinglin moved the blanket off himself onto Jia Daoshi.

Fragrant.

The fragrance emanating from Di Qinglin was like intoxicating osmanthus wine, making Jia Daoshi somewhat intoxicated.

Soon, Di Qinglin also got out of bed and left.

She was just warming the blankets.

"Ahem, well..." Jia Daoshi couldn't help but say.

"What's wrong?" Di Qinglin asked. "My lord, isn't it warm enough?"

"Oh, it's quite warm." Jia Daoshi nodded.

As soon as he said it, Jia Daoshi knew he had made a mistake.

"My lord, you've had a long day too, get some rest." Di Qinglin nodded, then quickly walked to Murong Jiu's side, and the two graceful figures disappeared into the side room.

Jia Daoshi lay on the bed for a while, then suddenly felt that something was not right.

During the day, he observed his "home".

The side room next door had many tiles that had fallen off!

Not only is the roof drafty, but the windows and walls are also full of holes!

Also, it seems that these two didn't burn firewood for the kang (heated brick bed) over there, did they?

In this kind of weather, it's bad enough that the house is drafty, but you don't even have a fire to warm it up. You'll freeze at night.

Thinking of this, Jia Daoshi got up, put on his clothes, and walked to the door of the side room under the cover of night light.

After just one glance inside, Jia Daoshi shook his head and sighed.

On the kang (heated brick bed) in the side room, there was some straw, and on the straw was a straw mat, and on the straw mat were several tattered cotton quilts!

The two of them were covered by the same quilt.

The quilt was already full of holes, so Di Qinglin took the relatively intact half and covered Murong Jiu with it.

"It's so cold, how can you sleep like this? How can you even sleep?" Jia Daoshi asked.

“My lord, we always sleep like this…” Murong Jiu said softly.

You could tell her voice was still trembling.

"Alright, you can all sleep over there. There's a fire on the kang (heated brick bed) over there. Bring your quilts over and squeeze in with everyone." Jia Daoshi couldn't stand it anymore.

"This……"

Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu could hardly believe their ears!

For some unknown reason, ever since they were brought back, Jia Daoshi has been very resistant to having any physical contact with them!

Even at night, we must sleep in separate beds!

They were already surprised by Jia Daoshi during the day, but they were even more surprised by him at night!

That said, it must be really cold for them to sleep here!

Moreover, Jia Daoshi did not allow them to burn firewood!

Because this kang (heated brick bed) is definitely not a heated kang!

After all, firewood costs money these days!

"My lord, is...is it alright?" Ajiu asked first.

These days, she saw Di Qinglin covering her with a good quilt so that she would be warmer at night, while he himself was shivering from the cold!

This made her feel very sorry for him.

"What kind of talk is that? Of course!" Jia Daoshi laughed. "Starting tonight, the three of us will sleep together!"

At Jia Daoshi's insistence, Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu finally slept on the large heated kang bed in the main house!

Of course, with such a beautiful woman by his side, it was inevitable that Jia Daoshi would have some wandering thoughts!

But he was so exhausted that he fell asleep very soon...

……

The next morning.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Di Qinglin got up.

That's her habit!

Because as a guard, especially an elite guard, she doesn't need much sleep!

Her father, a general, also maintained the habit of getting up at the crack of dawn to practice martial arts for many years.

but……

Di Qinglin finished bandaging his eyes and turned to look at Murong Jiu beside him.

The one who suffers the most is this little princess!

Murong Jiu hadn't had a proper night's sleep in ages. The warm blankets made her cheeks flush, reminding her of her childhood in the Daqing Palace.

If life could always be like this, it would already be so much better than before.

However, thinking of the taxes that were about to be paid and the nearly empty rice bin, Di Qinglin frowned again.

"Wait! What's that smell?"

Just then, Di Qinglin sniffed the air!

"It smells so good!"
