Early on the next morning, everyone in the palace began to get busy. The servants were cleaning when they were supposed to, and shopping when they were supposed to, and shuttled between the various courtyards.
However, everyone unanimously avoided the main courtyard.
In the entire palace, only the main courtyard was quiet, without any noise at all.
Linglong and Manman were leaning against the door, their eyes a little empty. Because they stayed up late, their eyes were red and bloodshot from exhaustion, and their eyes were still green and black.
The two of them stayed vigil last night, which was simply torture. When it was almost dawn, they were called up to prepare hot water, which was another struggle. It wasn't until the east turned white that the people in the room fell asleep, and they could barely lean against the door.
Take a nap.
However, it seems that just as soon as I closed my eyes, it was dawn.
This time, the two of them couldn't sleep anymore, staring blankly with a pair of dull eyes.
After a while, Manman asked in a daze: "Is it time for the prince to go to court?"
Linglong: "...It seems so."
Manman turned his head slightly to look at her, and asked leisurely: "Then why don't you go ask the prince to get up?"
Linglong tilted her head and looked at her: "Are you going?"
When Manman heard this, he was half awake from his drowsiness, and his head was shaking like a rattle.
It was scary enough at ordinary times, but it could only be even scarier today. She didn't want to die yet, she wanted to stay with the princess and take good care of her.
Linglong sighed and didn't dare to say anything.
Normally, she would definitely not be afraid, but today, she was a bit worried and didn't dare to knock on the door.
Besides, the prince is very self-disciplined on weekdays and never needs his maids to wake up early. Usually by the time they arrive, the prince has already gotten up and finished washing.
Today is the first time Linglong has seen Lou Yan bedridden after serving him for so long.
The two little girls looked at each other in silence, neither of them dared to say a word.
But the prince they thought was lying in bed was not asleep at all at this time. On the contrary, he was uncharacteristically energetic, staring at the person in his arms with a pair of big eyes, his eyes unblinkingly sticky.
, with a sweet smile on her lips.
In fact, he didn't sleep a wink all night.
After working in the first half of the night and cleaning Qin Zhen and stuffing her into the quilt in the second half of the night, he couldn't bear to close his eyes again.
Qin Zhen was like a little hedgehog, putting away all her sharp spines and spreading her soft belly in front of her.
She lay softly in his arms, doing whatever he asked her to do, being good and obedient.
How could there be such a lovely person in this world?
Therefore, Lou Yan didn't close his eyes all night and just looked at the person in his arms.
He listened to the words of the two little girls outside the door word for word. He didn't know that he should get up and wash up at this time to go to court, but looking at the people in his arms, he couldn't bear to leave.
No wonder there is a saying in ancient times that beauties bring disaster to the water. The spring nights are bitter and short, and the sun rises high. From then on, kings do not go to court early.
Today, he doesn't want to go to court, he wants to be a foolish king.
After lingering on the bed for another half an hour, when he couldn't hold on any longer, Lou Yan lowered his head and kissed Qin Zhen on the corner of her lips, and said softly: "If I don't go to court today, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to court tomorrow."
I will be called a little vixen."
He thought about that scene and couldn't help but chuckle.
He carefully got up from the bed, without even wearing any shoes, and quietly walked out of the room.
Outside the door, the two little girls saw the door suddenly opened. They were so frightened that they took a step back and looked at Lou Yan in shock.
When they saw Lou Yan's appearance clearly, Manman and Linglong took a deep breath, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
They saw their majestic prince, currently wearing an undershirt, with his coat casually hanging on his arms. The most outrageous thing was that he actually walked out barefoot, with his shoes still in his hand.
Lou Yan ignored their strange looks, closed the door to himself, walked to the yard and sat down.
Linglong finally came to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lou Yan get dressed. Manman also hurriedly knelt down, took the boots from Lou Yan's hand and put them on his feet.
Lou Yan allowed them to wait until everything was settled, and then said: "When the princess wakes up, ask Dr. Murong to come over and take a look at her body. Instruct the kitchen to prepare some light and nutritious food to serve her when the princess wakes up."
Also, she should be tired, so let her sleep a little longer without disturbing her."
After a pause, he couldn't help but smile, and said to Manman: "By the way, tell her that I will come back early to accompany her."
Manman was a little confused and said subconsciously: "Yes, I will tell the princess."
The smile on Lou Yan's face faded a little. He looked at Manman with a slightly cold look in his eyes and said coolly: "You still call her the princess? She is my wife now. It's time for you to change your words."
Manman's scalp felt a little numb when he saw that cold look, and he quickly said: "Yes, yes, it's time for me to change my story. It's the princess, the princess!"
Lou Yan was satisfied and raised his feet to leave.
"It's too late," Lou Yan said, "There's no need for it today."
exquisite:"……"
So in order to stay with the princess for a while, you didn’t even eat breakfast?
Manman next to him wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said leisurely: "Why do I feel that the prince is more terrifying..."
Linglong: "...Didn't the prince laugh just now?"
"It's scarier when you laugh."
"..."
Linglong shook her head and said helplessly: "You are afraid of the prince and you can't change it."
Manman really couldn't change, she felt terrible when she first laid eyes on Lou Yan.
"It's just a title, is it that important? So fierce." Manman curled his lips and muttered.
Linglong was amused and whispered: "Of course the title is important. Princess is not just a title, she is a recognition of identity, a title that belongs exclusively to the prince. The prince is so precious to the princess, so naturally he cares about these things."
Manman curled his lips, glanced at the closed door with some worry, leaned over and whispered to Linglong: "Tell me, is the Princess Princess really okay? She screamed for help last night, and her voice became hoarse in the end...
"
Linglong's face turned red after hearing this, she couldn't help but slap Manman in the face, and said angrily: "Master, please stay out of your business."
"Also, the prince doesn't love the princess more than you do? Don't worry, the prince will not hurt the princess."
After Linglong finished speaking, she ran away with a blushing face.
Manman stood there for a long time, and then said quietly: "But the princess screamed really miserably..."
If he hadn't been particularly afraid of Lou Yan, Manman would have really rushed in to save people last night.
She looked at the closed door, walked over and sat down against the door, lowering her head and dozing off.
Before I went to bed, I was still thinking that I should not get married in the future. I was not happy at all to see the princess getting married. She screamed for help in pain. She would never suffer like this in the future.
