If we were to ask who was the happiest person about the general suddenly moving into Cheng'en Palace, it would undoubtedly be Yun Xiao.
She was originally one of the two Sigui, and had been serving Ning Qingxuan closely together with Xue Qing, who was also a Sigui. She was arranged to be by the general's side after he appeared, and thus left Cheng'en Palace.
Now that the general has returned and he can stay close to Ning Qingxuan, Yun Xiao is naturally in a surprisingly good mood.
Apart from Yun Xiao, the happiest person was Xue Qing.
She entered the palace a little later than Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao had been with her from the very beginning. She had always been accustomed to having such an elder sister who was like a mother to her. Xue Qing was extremely uncomfortable during the first few days when Yun Xiao was away.
Of course, in the Suzaku Palace not far away, there were two people who were quite happy about this.
As the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Ning Qingxuan would not be the first to know about any big or small events that happened around him, Ning Junkang, as the Emperor - after all, Ning Junkang trusted Ning Qingxuan very much.
But it was impossible for Ning Junkang not to know about such a big event as "the Crown Prince suddenly invited a woman to sleep in the palace".
Who made Ning Qingxuan, now 19 years old, show no sign of interest in this matter?
Although the practice of having experienced maids "enlighten" the growing male offspring in the upper classes of the empire and even in the royal family has long ceased, Ning Junkang had never seen Ning Qingxuan have such an impulse, and he could not help but feel suspicious.
Could this child have a problem with his sexual orientation?
Something big is going to happen at home that day.
To the extent that later on, Ning Junkang even secretly hoped that one day he would suddenly hear the news that the prince could no longer restrain himself and took action against the maidservants around him.
"What's wrong? You look so happy. Is there anything good happening?"
Wen Guxi, who was taking off her headdress bit by bit with the help of the palace maids, saw Ning Junkang's smiling face behind her through the mirror and couldn't help but ask softly.
Ning Junkang walked over to Wen Guxi, waved away the others, and personally untied Wen Guxi's long hair, saying at the same time: "Qingxuan finally got it."
"Um?"
When Ning Junkang told Wen Guxi what had happened in the Eastern Palace not long ago, he was so happy that he covered his mouth.
"You just said that Miss Ying moved into Cheng'en Palace after Miss Yae regained her human form. Do you think it's because of this incident that Miss Ying has a sense of crisis?"
"Is that brat that charming?"
After saying this, Ning Junkang thought of Ning Qingxuan's usual situation and felt helpless.
"Yes, indeed. You know that I have suppressed many of the memorials sent by the court officials to test whether I want Qingxuan to marry their daughters of marriageable age. These people are all eyeing the position of the Crown Princess, and they are just about to pounce on it to grab it."
"Don't mention this for now. It's not convenient at this late hour. I will go to the East Palace tomorrow to see what kind of natural beauty Miss Yae is that can make the cold Miss Ying do this."
"Okay, after all, she's a woman, it's not convenient for me to go - Zitong, you see it's late at night...?"
"Hmph~!"
…dividing line…
the next day.
Thanks to her precise biological clock, Ning Qingxuan still woke up on time at the fixed time.
The warm morning light shines through the carved windows and the soft couch covered with gauze. What is different from the past is the faint scent of gentian.
Then, there was a soft feeling of pressure on the chest.
Moving her eyes slightly downward, Ning Qingxuan saw the purple color occupying a large area of her vision - the general's long hair was spread out directly on the couch like a piece of gorgeous silk.
Mmmmm...
Ning Qingxuan fell into deep thought.
His sleeping posture is very good. His posture when he wakes up is generally not much different from when he falls asleep. He does not kick the quilt or toss and turn frequently.
The couch was wide enough. When they slept last night, he and the general lay on each side, and the middle was wide enough to accommodate two or three more people.
But when she woke up this time, Ning Qingxuan found that her two bodies had been stuck together during her sleep, with the general curled up in her arms like a cat.
"What's going on... Ugh!"
While muttering, the general got up from Ning Qingxuan, but suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words, and his expression gradually became subtle.
The facial features that looked like exquisite works of art adorned her delicate and snow-white face.
Her long hair naturally fell along her cheeks, covering up her graceful figure that had become loose after a night's sleep and could not be covered by clothes at all.
However, the general's vague appearance made Ning Qingxuan even more dazzled, as he woke up from the beauty's sight.
So, he/she was stunned together.
It's not like he hasn't checked the general's body before; after all, he takes a bath every day.
But this was the first time Ning Qingxuan saw the general who had just woken up like this - when she saw him a few days ago, he had already washed up and was sitting in front of the mirror, being made up by the palace maids.
The general with a bit of naivety standing right in front of her, especially the round shoulders and slightly upturned red lips in the morning light, reminded Ning Qingxuan of the classic comments made by some stupid netizens on the Internet in her previous life:
——Food grade.
His cheeks gradually turned red, and the general slapped himself hard on the face, then slapped Ning Qingxuan on the face again.
"What are you thinking about yourself?"
In the pure land of one mind.
He has figured out the pattern and discovered that he can only successfully share the senses of the general from another world after he "wakes up".
Although he can't understand why the general he created has the defect of needing sleep, he has developed the habit of taking a look at the general as soon as he wakes up every day and then doing his own things.
Just like today, I was thinking about how to avoid the sight of Sky Island and the rules of Teyvat and safely contact the shadow on the opposite side. As soon as I realized that the general had woken up, I began to try to contact him just like following a show.
The moment the one-way synchronization of the senses was completed, Ying curled up her red lips complacently.
Although the research has not been completely successful, it is not without progress. At least the speed of synchronizing my senses is getting faster and faster.
The beautiful image in his mind synchronized the general's five senses with his thoughts.
Then, she saw "herself" with disheveled clothes and flushed cheeks, slapping Ning Qingxuan "coquettishly".
And it was on a couch.
A moment later, a deafening thunderstorm sounded above the castle tower...
