Xiao Xu shook his head again, turned around and met Chu Junlan's gentle gaze. Under the warm candlelight, her outline was softer, with long hair spreading on her shoulders, and her small face as big as a palm was as white as jade.

Seeing Xiao Xu standing still, Chu Junlan couldn't help but smile and stood up, put his hands on his neck, hanging his whole body on him, shaking childishly.

"What's wrong? Is it because the prince's attitude towards you that makes you feel heartbroken?"

Xiao Xu's arms were hanging behind Chu Junlan, in a siding position, but they did not fall down for a long time.

Chu Junlan closed his eyes, pressed his face against his shoulder and let out a long sigh, his voice a little tired: "It doesn't matter, the days ahead are still long. No matter how the emperor and the prince are planning to treat you, I will accompany you."

Xiao Xu's neck and ears were burning red. His big hands hesitated for a moment, and it finally fell on her body. His soft body really made his heart rippling, and he couldn't help but look down at her.

"good."

Chu Junlan chuckled: "Why did you get sick? Your temperament has changed. It turns out that you don't like talking to me very much?"

"I... didn't dislike it."

"I understand, don't be nervous. I have to hurry up tomorrow. Let's take a rest."

Chu Junlan climbed onto the wooden bed and lay on the inside, leaving most of the place for Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu looked at the soft jade-warm figure that was undulating like a mountain. The Adam's apple rolled for a while. After hesitating for a long time, he took off his outer robe and lay down on his back.

Chu Junlan's heartbeat was much faster than usual. This was the first time she had a bed with Xiao Xu. Unexpectedly, it was not on the wedding night, not on the exquisite Qiangong bed, but in a simple tent like a wilderness, lying on a broken wooden bed that was about to collapse when it swayed.

The quilt is too thin, it is really uncomfortable. The wind is cold in the early spring night, and occasionally you can hear the sound of the wind, and the tent will shake with the sound of the wind.

This kind of environment is really not romantic, even gloomy.

But Chu Junlan felt unprecedented peace in her heart. She could not have thought that Xiao Xu was fine and was still here to pick her up. Chu Junlan covered the quilt for Xiao Xu and hugged his arm. Seeing that Xiao Xu's breathing gradually became even, she yawned gently, and fell asleep with her forehead against his upper arm.

In the darkness, Xiao Xu slowly opened his eyes, moved gently, pulled his arm back from Chu Junlan's arms, and left the warm and soft embrace. He felt a little disappointed and couldn't help but hold half of his body to look at her.

Such a skilled person was completely unprepared by his side. After falling asleep, his long eyelashes flashed with his breathing, like a child.

Xiao Xu's heart suddenly became soft. He took out a silver chain from the collar, hung the small jade whistle on Chu Junlan's neck, and finally made her a pillow for her, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Chu Junlan, who was sleeping, had a sweet smile on the corner of his lips.

Returning to Beijing from Qingjian Mountain, the road conditions were not much better than when we came. When spring returned to the earth, the snow melted, and the inside became muddy, which really slowed down their speed. Although five hundred soldiers protected Xiao Xu and his party to march at the fastest speed, it was already the end of March when they arrived in the capital.

When I left, the capital was still covered with snow, and now I can vaguely see a new green after being defeated.

After entering the capital, Chu Junlan smiled and said, "I want to go back to see my elder brother first, then go to the Duke's Mansion, and then go back to the mansion."

Xiao Xu nodded, pursed his thin lips and said, "I should have accompanied you, but I have to go to the Ministry of War to return the troops. The emperor had an errand before and told me to do it."

Chu Junlan nodded understandingly: "This is not a delay, please go quickly. I don't recognize the way home. When will you go home? I'll wait for you to have dinner together."

"No, you eat first, I'm not sure," Xiao Xu refused a little quickly, but looking at Chu Junlan's beautiful and delicate little face with a look of confusion, his ears turned red again, and he reached out to pinch her cheek, "Let Jing Yu and Huo Yeqing follow you, you and I'll leave."

"Okay," Chu Junlan smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, "Come back early."

Looking at Xiao Xu's back as he left with five hundred soldiers, Chu Junlan's puzzled eyes fell on Jing Yu and Huo Yeqing.

Jing Yu smiled and said, "Criminal Princess, let's go to Duke Mao's Mansion first, or to Shichahai first?"

Chu Junlan shook his head slightly and frowned and said, "You didn't tell the prince about my dealings with Suixin Zhenren?"

"No, no." Jing Yu shook his head and waved his hand repeatedly, Huo Yeqing also lowered his head and said, "No."

Chu Junlan said: "Why is the prince?"

"What? Princess, what's wrong with the prince?" Jing Yu's voice was slightly higher.

Chu Junlan said: "For more than a month, I always feel that something is wrong with the prince, so I feel that he knows something and feels that he has a knot in his heart."

Not to mention anything else, although Xiao Xu used to be affectionate and polite to her, sometimes the man's thoughts could not be hidden at all. Even the coldest person would have time to be unable to control himself, especially now they are serious couples.

But on the way back to Beijing, they had too many opportunities to stay in a hotel, but they have not yet fulfilled their house, and Xiao Xu has not even kissed her on his own initiative. Every time, they blushed like they were dyed with rouge, which made her unable to hide her face and ask in person.

Maybe Xiao Xu felt that things like completing the house would have to wait until they return to their homes?

Chu Junlan was not in a hurry to fulfill his family, but felt that Xiao Xu's behavior and attitude were a bit abnormal, but after looking carefully, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Chu Junlan went to Shichahai and returned to the Duke of Maoguo's mansion. He only said that he had returned from studying art after learning. Because he did not explain the real reason when he left, his family didn't know that she would almost never come back for her whole life. Now she has only been thinking about her for two months, so naturally no one thought about it.

However, when Zi Yuan and Zi Yan saw Chu Junlan, they both cried and knelt in front of her and hugged her legs without letting go.

"If the princess goes out again, he will at least bring his servants with him."

"Yes, I never want to be separated from the prince's concubine in my life."

It made Chu Junlan cry.

When it was getting late, Chu Junlan returned to the palace.

"Zi Yuan, Zi Yan, you go to Princess Zhang and Princess Cai separately. I said that I dared to come back just now. Because it was too late, it was inconvenient to disturb the rest of the two mothers. I will go to pay my respects tomorrow morning."

Zi Yuan and Zi Yan should have retreated quickly.

Chu Junlan returned to Jingxuan's main house, and the mother Han, Cuisong, Xixue, Xiwen and others sent by Princess Cai, came in and saluted respectfully.

"I'll pay my respects to the princess."

"Get up."

Chu Junlan turned his eyes and found that these people had become much more honest, even his eyes seemed to dare not turn around.

Chu Junlan said just a few words briefly and ordered these people to retreat.

Jing Yu smiled and said, "After you went out, the prince warned these people. The prince was harsh and they dared not act rashly."
