Just when the undercurrent in the East Palace was surging, Xiao Yu finally returned to the palace from the palace.
Seeing someone who had obviously lost a lot of weight, Xie Songhua felt really distressed.
Xiao Yu, on the other hand, had a smile on his face, and regardless of the presence of so many people, he came up and hugged her.
This time Xie Songhua made him a little embarrassed. Although everyone was almost used to it, they could still clearly see them smiling with their lips pursed.
Xie Songhua patted him gently and gave him an angry look.
Xiao Yu knew that she still had to maintain her dignity in front of the people below, so he put her down and the two of them went into the house together.
Everyone's knowledge and interest were all gone.
Aunt Lan ordered people to fetch water, and Xie Songhua helped Xiao Yu organize the things for washing.
Seeing her busy figure, the smile on Xiao Yu's face never fell.
This time in the palace, knowing that he might face something that might cost him his life, for the first time, he felt fear in his heart.
And this fear was brought to him by Xie Songhua. He was afraid that he would not be able to come back here and that he would not be able to see this person.
The moment he stepped into the courtyard and saw her, his heart fell to the ground, and he was finally convinced that he was indeed back.
Even though they didn't ask about anything, and the two of them didn't talk about anything about entering the palace this time, they actually understood everything between them.
For Xie Songhua, the most important thing right now is to tell him to relax first. The matter has passed and there is no rush.
Xiao Yu took a bath and wanted to get the official documents, but Xie Songhua held him down.
Then I would just stay in the house and watch him fall asleep.
As for during this period, someone asked her to sleep with him several times, but Xie Songhua just remained unmoved.
She could see that Xiao Yu was very tired this time, and his eyes were all red and bloodshot.
Looking at the shadowy figure behind the bed curtain, she thought to herself that if she was doing some needlework in her hands at this time, she would be more like a real ancient woman.
But her role as a female celebrity was really bad, so she simply gave up, got bored, and went to sort out the things she had been dealing with these days.
When Xiao Yu woke up, it was already dark. When he walked outside, he saw several maids setting dishes silently.
Xie Songhua was sitting in the living room, busy with something in his hands.
It wasn't until he stood there for a long time that she noticed anything. She looked up and saw Xiao Yu leaning on the Duobao Pavilion with his arms folded, looking at her and smiling.
Such a relaxed posture is quite rare in him.
But looking at the partiality, one can’t help but feel moved.
This is the case for some, even simple and ordinary movements seem to have special magic power when it comes to him.
The maids tacitly understood what they were doing and quickly finished their work and left.
Putting down the things in his hands, Xie Songhua walked over and looked up at him through the light, "Do you feel better?"
Xiao Yu didn't speak, just stared into her eyes.
"Your Majesty?"
As soon as he finished shouting, Xiao Yu suddenly took out his hands, hugged her around the waist, pulled her into his arms, then lowered his head and put his head on her shoulders.
Xie Songhua was stunned for a moment, then reached out and hugged him as well.
At this moment, I finally felt at ease.
This person is really back, his temperature and smell are right in front of me, literally under his touch.
"It's all over."
After a long time, Xie Songhua heard Xiao Yu's muffled voice coming from her neck, her warm breath spreading on the exposed skin, and immediately there was a numbing feeling. She subconsciously wanted to run away, but
Again, he suppressed his impulse.
Only then did I understand what he meant.
Even though I had imagined this possibility, now that I heard these words coming from his mouth, I still felt that it seemed a bit unbelievable.
Xiao Yu slowly let go of her, and what he saw was her somewhat stunned expression.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xiao Yu's question brought Xie Songhua back to her senses. She looked at the person in front of her seriously, "Your Majesty, did I...really do it?"
Xiao Yu lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Songhua immediately took one of his hands and then reached out to check his pulse.
Calm, healthy, powerful, nothing out of the ordinary.
Xie Songhua couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, and tears welled up in his eyes, "Finally..."
"After so many years," Xiao Yu looked at her with some emotion in his tone, "I finally got rid of this. After all, God still favored me and sent you to me."
Such sensational words came from Xiao Yu's mouth, and Xie Songhua always felt an indescribable sense of violation.
This kind of violation brings a different kind of warmth.
Before the atmosphere became warmer, she came back to her senses and said quickly: "The prince has been sleeping for a long time, and the palace must not be eating well. I ordered people to cook your favorite dishes. If you have anything to do, eat while you are there."
Let’s talk, we have plenty of time now!”
She turned around and went to the dining table first. Xiao Yu smiled helplessly and could only follow her.
As she said, the whole table was full of his favorite food.
There isn't much spicy food.
But, how can you talk while eating?
Seeing that the person opposite was still abiding by the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping, Xie Songhua was also very helpless.
Habits developed over the years cannot be broken overnight.
Xie Songhua was not hungry at all, so he quietly watched him eat.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Yu seemed to be in a rare good mood, "Let's go for a walk in the garden!"
In fact, Xie Songhua is not familiar with this palace after having been here for so long.
Especially the huge garden.
She was not keen on the social life of this era, so naturally she did not invite others to her home for gatherings.
And all her daily activities can be completed in a courtyard like Yanchundai, so she is too lazy to go elsewhere.
For her, this home is really too big.
Since she got married, she has only walked through the garden at the back two or three times, and has not even visited half of it.
Looking at the well-kept landscape, I suddenly felt a little distressed.
How much does it cost to maintain?
I don’t know why, but Xiao Yu seemed to have seen through her inner thoughts, "You are not thinking of selling this garden!"
Xie Songhua quickly smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, this is your palace after all."
"It's also your palace," Xiao Yu immediately corrected her, but then quickly added, "But we still can't sell these things."
Xie Songhua shrugged quietly, this is class!
It's a pity to leave it here for nothing, as aristocratic families must have such a pomp.
"Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to visit this garden?" Xie Songhua casually grabbed a maple leaf and held Xiao Yu's hand and walked slowly along the trail by the lake.
"It suddenly occurred to me that since we got married, we have never walked together without any burden."
Xie Songhua was a little stunned by these words. Thinking about it again, don't tell me, it's really like this.
Thinking about it this way, the two of them seemed a bit boring indeed.
but……
She suddenly thought of something, took a quick step forward, then turned around and looked at Xiao Yu face to face and stopped, "My lord, do you have something to say to me?"
Sure enough, when he said these words, Xiao Yu's eyes were obviously startled.
