A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

As night fell, when it was time to go to bed, the east wing of the Wutong Courtyard was still brightly lit.

“Go back to the main room to sleep. Gao Yu will take care of you. I will also have Jinwen and Liu Yao keep watch at night. You don’t need to be afraid of anything.”

"I'm not a real child. I'm not afraid of the dark, but I still want to sleep with you."

"going or not?"

"Don't go."

Qin Suiyou and Beitang Yan were deadlocked on this topic for a long time, and Beitang Yan even resorted to all sorts of unreasonable behavior, almost to the point of rolling around on the ground.

"You still say you're not a child? Even a child wouldn't be as shameless as you."

Beitang Yan blocked the doorway, refusing to leave himself or let Qin Suiyou sleep anywhere else.

"I don't care, husbands and wives should sleep together. If you really don't want to, then I'll just sit here. Don't worry, I won't get on the bed and bother you."

This is why they would rather sleep on the ground than go anywhere else.

Qin Suiyou felt that he had sighed more times today than he had sighed in his previous life. Seeing how persistent Beitang Yan was, he couldn't bring himself to let him sleep on the ground, so he had no choice but to give in.

He got up and walked to the door. Beitang Yan looked at him warily, as if afraid that he would rush out the door if he wasn't careful.

Qin Suiyou said, "Get out of my way."

Beitang Yan shook his head firmly.

"I do not."

"Ah~"

Qin Suiyou lowered his head and patted his head, then said softly, "Gao Yu is still waiting for you outside. I don't need him to keep watch here. Since you're not going back to the main room, you should let him go and rest first."

Beitang Yan was enjoying himself when he suddenly looked up upon hearing Qin Suiyou's words.

"You're saying I can stay?"

Bright, sparkling eyes

Qin Suiyou watched, and the slight annoyance he had felt dissipated. He smiled and nodded.

"But……"

Beitang Yan was still somewhat hesitant. He was afraid that if he moved aside, his wife would run away, so he dawdled and clearly didn't want to move.

Seeing this, Qin Suiyou, who was in a great mood, had no choice but to say, "Then I'll talk here by the window, okay?"

After speaking, he walked to the window and opened it. Gao Yu was standing by the pillar outside the door, looking as if he had been waiting for a long time and had seen through the vanity of the world.

Beitang Yan came over excitedly. Seeing that Qin Suiyou had indeed told Gao Yu to go back first while he could stay and sleep, he was relieved and happily went into the inner room. He took off his outer robe, shoes and socks and prepared to get into bed.

After instructing Gao Yu, Qin Suiyou went in and saw Beitang Yan, who had stripped down to only his undergarments, looking like he was asking for praise.

Qin Suiyou rubbed his forehead and said, "What's the rush? Come here, let me take you to wash up first. Let me tell you, don't even think about getting into my bed looking all dirty."

As Qin Suiyou pulled him toward an inner door, Beitang Yan couldn't help but examine himself.

"I'm not dirty."

Qin Suiyou gave him a look, and Beitang Yan immediately changed his mind: "I will definitely wash myself clean before going to bed."

It was getting late, so Qin Suiyou didn't let Beitang Yan actually take a bath. However, the bathhouse, which was just around the corner from the inner gate, was already prepared with hot and cold water. Since the patient still had a scab on his head and couldn't wash his hair, he was allowed to wipe himself down with a cotton cloth.

The reason it's described as hot and cold water is because Qin Suiyou has a habit of deciding the water temperature based on his mood when bathing. So he asks the people who carry the water over every day to prepare enough cold and hot water, and he mixes it according to his own preference.

Therefore, even though it was quite late, both of them still had water at a suitable temperature to wash themselves.

At first, Beitang Yan still planned to go with Qin Suiyou, but he gave up after being threatened by Qin Suiyou to be kicked out of the bedroom. So he washed himself first and waited outside the bathroom.

Qin Suiyou not only washed himself inside, but also washed his hair. After all, he had served in the army in his previous life, so he could be incredibly fast if he wanted to. When he came out of the bathroom, it was clean and his hair was dry.

So when the bathroom door opened, Beitang Yan was greeted by a fragrant-smelling wife.

This fragrant scent was Beitang Yan's own idea. Qin Suiyou's bath products were all blended by himself using herbs. He didn't have much of a fondness for incense, and the ones he usually used were for health and calming. When making bath products, he adhered to the principle that as long as the smell wasn't unpleasant, it would be fine. So at most, he would have a faint, refreshing herbal scent, but it still smelled very nice.

Seeing Beitang Yan sniffing around him, Qin Suiyou asked in confusion, "What are you smelling? Do I smell strange?"

"It is strange."

Beitang Yan straightened up and said, "It smells really good."

As she spoke, she even seemed a little shy and twisted her body slightly.

Qin Suiyou: ...Where did this guy learn such cheesy pickup lines?

Shaking off the goosebumps, Qin Suiyou went back to his bedroom on his own, while Beitang Yan followed him closely.

"You sleep outside."

"it is good."

Beitang Yan agreed readily. He had originally planned to sleep on the outside himself because he was afraid that if his wife slept on the outside, she might accidentally fall off, even though the bed was not small and could easily accommodate two adult men.

When Qin Suiyou first arrived, he was puzzled. The craftsmanship of beds at this time was very complicated, not to mention those in the Prince's mansion. But there was no need to put such a large bed in the side room.

However, since he was enjoying it himself, there was no reason for him to be so ungrateful as to ask for a smaller bed. Besides, when Qin Suiyou first arrived at the Prince An's residence, this was the bed he was most satisfied with.

"and many more."

Beitang Yan hadn't fully lain down when Qin Suiyou called him to wait. He was afraid that something might go wrong with their plan to sleep together tonight, so he tensed up.

"Go and put out the candles."

"it is good."

Seeing Beitang Yan happily go to extinguish the candles and then hurriedly run back, almost tripping over the foot pedal, a faint smile spread across Qin Suiyou's face in the dim light.

……

The next day.

Before Qin Suiyou even opened his eyes, he felt an undeniable sense of confinement. He knew with his toes that the man who had tried to hug his wife last night but was rejected had secretly taken advantage of her being asleep to hug her again.

The moment I opened my eyes, a magnified handsome face was right in front of me.

Hmm... it's quite pleasing to the eye; at least it's halfway to my good mood this morning.

"Aren't your hands sore?"

Beitang Yan also opened his eyes. He probably slept too well beforehand. He went to bed late last night, but woke up before dawn. However, now that he had amnesia, he didn't know what he could do so early in the morning. Seeing his wife still sleeping soundly, he went back to sleep for a short nap. He woke up as soon as Qin Suiyou made a sound.

"It's not sour. Actually, I changed positions a few times, but you didn't notice."

It would be a lie to say that they didn't notice, given their current posture.

However, after falling asleep at night, Qin Suiyou really didn't notice Beitang Yan's movements. Logically speaking, he wouldn't sleep so soundly on his first time sharing a bed with someone he wasn't very familiar with, but Beitang Yan managed to break through his habits time and time again.

Then, Qin Suiyou got up, and Beitang Yan followed; Qin Suiyou washed up, and Beitang Yan followed his steps meticulously; Qin Suiyou combed his hair, and Beitang Yan, who hadn't learned yet, handed him things while taking notes and learning with his eyes. When Qin Suiyou combed his hair, he would ask a few questions from time to time, as if he had learned something.

Breakfast consisted of sweet rice porridge with side dishes, and Beitang Yan continued his behavior from yesterday, serving Qin Suiyou side dishes.

Qin Suiyou accepted it quickly and didn't even ask Beitang Yan to stop serving him. He just focused on feeding himself the porridge and vegetables without any qualms. Anyway, there was nothing Du Ruo made that he didn't like. With Beitang Yan being so diligent, he was saving himself the trouble.
