Seeing that Wei Ying had agreed, Qin Zhao was extremely delighted and said, "Good, good, good. I've sent people to clean the place where Qing'er used to live every day. You can just move in directly when you're here. There's no need to tidy it up specially."
Saying so, Qin Zhao was about to lead Chu Qing and Wei Ying there.
Just as Chu Qing was about to say something, Chu Zhan spoke up first, "Mother! Are you going to let Qing'er and... the prince live together?"
After hearing what her son said, Qin Zhao gave him a sideways glance and said, "It's only natural for a husband and wife to live together. What, do you want to live with Zi Zhan?"
At Qin Zhao's words, Chu Zhan blushed and hurriedly said, "Mother!"
"Alright, go and take your father to rest quickly. I'll take Qing'er and the others there first." Although Qin Zhao's voice was always gentle, her tone brooked no argument.
"Well, okay. I'll go back and rest." Chu Xing, whose decision had been made by his wife, pursed his lips, then nodded resignedly.
After the father - son duo of Chu Xing and Chu Zhan chatted with Chu Qing for a while, they reluctantly turned around and left.
Looking at all this, Chu Qing silently took note in her heart. In the Chu family, it was her seemingly gentle and weak mother who had the final say!
...
When Qin Zhao led Chu Qing and the others to the door of the room, she turned around with a beaming smile and left without staying a moment longer.
Only then did Chu Qing come to her senses. She had finally "fallen" to the point of having to sleep with Wei Ying...
Luoluo and Liuxin, who had been silent all this time, were now whispering to each other in a low voice. Then, Luoluo blushed and said, "Shall the maids go and prepare hot water for the prince and the mistress now?"
"Go ahead." Wei Ying nodded.
Watching Luoluo and Liuxin trotting away, the smile on Chu Qing's face finally cracked.
Well, some things were ultimately unavoidable.
...
After Luoluo and the others had prepared the hot water, just as Chu Qing was about to walk over, she was grabbed by Wei Ying.
Chu Qing tilted her head slightly in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"
What, was he not even allowing her to take a bath and get ready? Could it be that... this guy wanted to take a bath with her?
Just thinking about it made her heart race and her face flush!
Seeing Chu Qing's confusion, Wei Ying said somewhat uneasily, "Aren't you... having your monthly period? I heard that women shouldn't take a sit - bath during that time. If you're uncomfortable, you can just wipe yourself with a towel for now."
Seeing that Wei Ying was serious, Chu Qing resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
Wasn't Wei Ying the bloodthirsty prince who killed without batting an eye on the battlefield? Could this gentle and considerate prince be a fake?
She had just casually made up an excuse about having her period, and he actually believed it?
The bloodthirsty beast had turned into an innocent little white rabbit?
Chu Qing gently pressed her fingertips against her temples. She needed to calm down... this was truly her own doing, and she couldn't blame anyone else.
No! Chu Qing belatedly realized that was she actually regretting Wei Ying's lack of understanding?
Chu Qing rubbed her temples hard. She was truly... in big trouble!
Taking a deep breath, Chu Qing put on a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Then she led Luoluo and the others behind the screen to wipe her body!
Naturally, Wei Ying didn't understand the twists and turns in Chu Qing's mind. Seeing that her smile just now was not natural, Wei Ying was a bit confused.
Had he said something wrong...?
He couldn't just ignore her health and let her do as she pleased, could he?
Thinking of this, Wei Ying silently sighed.
Loving someone was more tiring than the intrigue in the court and the brutal battles on the battlefield.
...
Chu Qing quickly finished tidying up. Wrapped only in a thin robe, she walked out. Luoluo and Liuxin had already changed the water, so she motioned for Wei Ying to go in.
At this moment, due to being steamed by the hot water vapor for a long time, Chu Qing's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were misty. Her curvy body wrapped in the thin robe was even more eye - catching, and a large expanse of fair and delicate skin was exposed at the collar.
The unconscious temptation was the most lethal.
Wei Ying felt that if he looked any longer, he might really lose control.
So, Chu Qing only saw a figure dart out like a flash.
Then came a sentence:
"You can go to sleep first."
After that, she didn't know where he had gone.
Chu Qing looked blank. It took her a while to realize that Wei Ying seemed to have run away...
Chu Qing: "???"
Liuxin: "???"
Luoluo: "Mistress... does the prince suddenly have something urgent to do?"
Chu Qing gave Luoluo a cold look and said, "The prince is in a hurry to cool off his ardor."
"Cool off his ardor?" Luoluo was initially surprised, but quickly understood.
"Mistress, with you here... why does the prince still..." Luoluo felt that although it was a bit improper to say such things, she really couldn't understand, and she also felt a bit resentful for her mistress.
"I told him yesterday that I'm having my monthly period." Chu Qing said expressionlessly.
"..." Luoluo didn't know what to say now.
Well, the quirks of the masters were really strange. It was better for them little maids to ask less!
...
Although she had a dreamless night, when Chu Qing woke up, she felt sore all over. She didn't know if it was because she was used to her own bed.
When she opened her eyes and sat up, she saw a certain prince sitting upright not far away by the window...
She didn't know when he had come back.
Chu Qing didn't want to say anything more. After quickly tidying up, she was ready to bid farewell to Chu Xing and the others.
Since she was worried that Wuya would leave early, Chu Qing and Wei Ying didn't stay for breakfast. After simply chatting with Chu Xing and the others, the two of them set off back to the prince's mansion.
...
On the way back, since Wei Ying was also sitting in the carriage with Chu Qing and the others, Luoluo and Liuxin, who could originally liven up the atmosphere, became cautious in their words and deeds. They even deliberately softened their breaths.
When they arrived at the prince's mansion, Wei Ying got out of the carriage first.
Who would have thought that before Chu Qing and the others could get out, they heard Xu Xin's soft voice outside, "Your Highness! Your concubine has been waiting for you for a long time! You're finally back!"
"What's the matter?" Wei Ying's voice was still calm.
"The princess is missing again!"
The face of the so - called princess darkened. Luoluo and Liuxin looked at each other, then angrily lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. They reached out their hands to help Chu Qing out.
But before Chu Qing could put her hand in Luoluo's, she felt a sudden tightness around her waist.
She was then carried out of the carriage by Wei Ying in full view of everyone.
After Chu Qing stood firmly on the ground, Wei Ying said unhurriedly, "This prince accompanied the princess to stay at the Chu mansion last night."
Xu Xin felt a lump in her throat. Then she forced a smile and said, "That's good. It's just... why didn't Your Highness inform the mansion?"
"Does this prince need to inform anyone when doing things?" Wei Ying glanced at Xu Xin, and his voice began to turn cold.
