Xie Xun, who was locked out, couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.
Qin Rushuang dared to lock him out!
It's not that this mere wooden door can stop him. If he really wants to force his way through, it can only be done with a wave of his hand.
What made him angry was that Qin Rushuang actually locked the door in his palace. Who was this to protect?!
But he couldn't ask Qin Rushuang if she was guarding him. If he really asked, where would he lose his face?
So I could only say coldly outside the house: "Open the door."
Qin Rushuang didn't know if it was intentional, so she asked: "Who is it so late?"
Xie Xun was so angry. Who else did this woman want to come in the middle of the night?
"This is my king. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Open the door."
Xie Xun originally thought that he had made it so clear, and Qin Rushuang should open the door. Who knows, after a slight rustling inside, Qin Rushuang's voice appeared behind the door: "If the prince is here to ask about Chun Lie, I agree.
, I will take Qin Fanghao into the palace tomorrow, and as long as the noble concubine agrees, she can go too."
"This is not why I came here."
"Then please come back, Your Majesty."
Across the door, Qin Rushuang's voice was calm. She had said before that she wanted to draw a clear line with Xie Xun and that she should no longer indulge her feelings.
In the final analysis, whether you love or hate, it is ultimately because of the unwillingness of your previous life.
In this life, the fetus in her belly is still there, Liu's nails have been removed, and Xie Xun is not as indifferent as in the previous life. Since he doesn't like himself, at most it's just a bridge back to a bridge, and the road back to the road.
After Qin Rushuang decisively rejected Xie Xun, she listened carefully to the movement outside the door.
Xie Xun didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, the sound of leaving footsteps sounded.
Qin Rushuang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling empty in her heart.
"Qingzhi, bring the key and tidy up and take a rest."
Since Xie Xun has left, there is no point in locking the door.
With a "click", the door lock opened. Qin Rushuang took the lock and key and turned around. Suddenly, there was another "squeak" sound of the door opening behind her.
Qin Rushuang turned around and saw that Xie Xun had already walked in.
"Didn't the prince go back?" Qin Rushuang said in surprise, holding the key secretly.
"When did I stop being able to tell you?"
Afraid that Qin Rushuang would drive him away again, Xie Xun added: "It's the first day of the new year. According to the rules, I have to come to your place."
"Oh. Then please make arrangements earlier, Your Majesty. I'm pregnant, so I won't be able to serve you anymore."
The clenched hands slowly loosened.
She has been thinking about many things these days, putting aside the grudges from her previous life.
In this life, Xie Xun, although he still doesn't like himself, doesn't have much ill will toward him. Everything he does is just fulfill his responsibility as a husband.
But it's just a responsibility.
For example, he helped her out of trouble, or he came to her place on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to fulfill his "responsibility" as a husband.
Qin Rushuang was still a little unnatural when she lay down. She was used to sleeping alone. In the cool night, it was hard not to care about the strong chest next to her that radiated heat anytime and anywhere.
The two of them remained silent. Qin Rushuang moved a few times, trying to find a suitable sleeping position, but Xie Xun suddenly stood up and moved the quilt towards her.
"Is it cold?" Xie Xun asked in a low voice.
Qin Rushuang was lying on the bed, Xie Xun leaned forward slightly, and his slender arms pulled the quilt over her body.
Qingzhi likes to leave a lamp beside the bed for Qin Rushuang. The dim light shines through the lampshade, making the vision in the room a little blurry.
Even so, from this angle, Qin Rushuang could still clearly see Xie Xun's sharp chin, the small half of his face hidden in the light, his handsomeness and fortitude, and the elusive light in his eyes.
Just like him.
Xie Xun's face had the integrity and decisiveness of a soldier.
Xie Xun has never been an evil person. This is what Qin Rushuang has always felt.
Her hatred for Xie Xun in her previous life was more mixed with a sense of powerlessness and reluctance towards her own feelings.
Ask yourself, Xie Xun is not wrong, what is wrong is that he does not love her.
Because I don’t love, I won’t cherish it.
Because I don't love him, I can't respond to her feelings.
Because they don’t love them, they probably don’t have any feelings for their stillborn child...
Thinking of this, Qin Rushuang closed her eyes.
Xie Xun pulled the quilt up again. After all, he had never served anyone before, so he pulled the quilt up to the tip of Qin Rushuang's nose.
"I can't breathe." Qin Rushuang said gloomily.
"Sorry." Xie Xun leaned over again and helped her pull the quilt down a little. When he saw the hair hanging down by her ears, he couldn't help but reach out to brush it away for fear of being pressed by him.
Because the leaning posture was too low, when he stood up, the side of his face accidentally touched Qin Rushuang's lips.
There was a moment of silence for both of them.
Fortunately, Qin Rushuang kept her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep, suppressing the flash of throbbing in her heart.
Except for that night when they were together, they had never been so close.
Xie Xun also felt a little hot, so he hurriedly lay down and said sorry again.
Got no response.
"Are you asleep?"
Still no answer.
Xie Xun breathed a sigh of relief. The warm and soft touch that just brushed his cheek made him at a loss for a moment, and his heart beat fast.
so far so good.
Fortunately she was already asleep.
Xie Xun closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep.
As soon as I close my eyes, that fleeting feeling always lingers in my heart.
The mysterious aroma that belonged to Qin Rushuang that seemed to be absent on the tip of his nose made him even more upset.
And he found that Qin Rushuang seemed to be awake too, but she just closed her eyes and didn't speak.
Silence filled the room.
Half an hour later, Xie Xun really couldn't sleep and couldn't stand the strange atmosphere in the room, so he got up and put on his clothes.
"Prince? What's wrong?" Qingzhi asked in a low voice outside the house.
"...It's nothing. Go in and serve your princess. I...can't come over tonight."
Inside the room, Qin Rushuang slowly opened her eyes.
Can't you bear it even if you just touch it?
From then on, just keep the distance you deserve.
I closed my eyes again and slept until dawn.
Today it's time to bring the three concubines and Qin Fanghao into the palace.
Along the way, Qin Fang finally didn't cause any trouble. He was extremely quiet and his eyebrows were lowered.
Qin Rushuang saw that she had changed her temper. Although she was confused, she didn't ask any more questions.
What Qin Rushuang didn't know was that Qin Fanghao was very happy at this time.
First, I got the opportunity to enter the palace to see the noble concubine, and I could try to go hunting in the spring with the prince;
Come... She got the news last night that the prince went to Qin Rushuang's room. The two of them didn't know what kind of conflict they had, and the prince actually left in the middle of the night.
Qin Fang couldn't guess the reason, but secretly thought that the two of them had a disagreement about whether she should go to spring hunting or not.
After so many days, she finally found something that made her happy.
Qin Fanghao's demeanor became more dignified and respectful. She must strive to win the concubine's favor today.
This spring hunting, there are some things she must achieve.
