Chapter 121: Yu Yanran takes the initiative
The East Palace is divided into three parts: the front palace, the middle palace and the harem.
The front palace is where officials from the East Palace work and where Zhao Xing entertains guests on weekdays.
The middle palace is Zhao Xing’s bedroom and office.
The harem contains gardens and many courtyards. These courtyards are where the concubines of the East Palace live.
The middle palace is called Chaoyang Palace, Chaoyang is the rising sun, and the East Palace is the residence of the prince, which means that the prince is the rising sun of the Song Dynasty.
It was already late at night, the study room of Chaoyang Palace was brightly lit, Zhao Xing was sitting at the desk holding a storybook, and did not turn the pages for a long time.
Sanshui walked up to Zhao Xing and whispered: "Your Highness, the old lady next to Miss Yu just came over to ask if Your Highness has rested."
Zhao Xing sighed silently after hearing this. In one breath, he said: "Tell her to let Miss Yu come to Chaoyang Palace."
He originally thought that he would stay in the study for a longer time, but there was no news from Yu Yanran there, maybe Just fell asleep.
However, until late at night, Yu Yanran was still waiting. If she continued like this, she might have to wait until dawn.
"Yes." Sanshui responded and retreated.
Zhao Xing stood up, stretched and left the study.
Back in the palace, after washing up under the care of the palace maid, he took off his coat and sat on the bed in his underwear.
After a while, Yu Yanran was led in by the palace maid.
"Greetings to Your Highness!" Yu Yanran lowered her head slightly and felt blessed.
Yu Yanran has obviously been carefully dressed. Under the lamp, her skin is like cream, her fair and tender face is rosy, and her long black hair is spread over her shoulders.
The youthfulness that comes with age seems to have dissipated a bit.
Yu Yanran lowered her head slightly. She couldn't see Zhao Xing looking at her, but she seemed to be able to feel Zhao Xing's gaze. Her heart was beating fiercely, and her face became more and more rosy. There are people who are more delicate than flowers. Feel.
“Ahem…”
It took Zhao Xing a while to come back to his senses, he coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and said, "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you help Miss Yu take off her makeup and change her clothes."
"Yes!"
< br>Hearing this, the palace maid in the room responded and led Yu Yanran to the dressing table to remove her makeup.
After taking off her makeup, the palace maid helped Yu Yanran change her clothes. During the whole process, Yu Yanran lowered her head and allowed herself to be manipulated by the palace maid.
Soon, Yu Yanran's coat was taken off, leaving only a tube top.
"Turn off the lights and retreat." Zhao Xing said.
Hearing this, the palace maid extinguished all the lights in the room, leaving only one night light, then bowed and retreated.
There was only a weak candle left in the huge palace, and the palace was very dark.
Zhao Xing sat on the bed and watched Yu Yanran standing in front of the screen with her head hanging motionless. He shook his head slightly, got up and walked over.
Yu Yanran's head felt dizzy as she listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer.
"Ah!"
Suddenly she felt dizzy and couldn't help but raise her head and exclaimed.
"Don't scream!" Zhao Xing shouted.
Only at this moment did Yu Yanran realize that she was being hugged by Zhao Xing. Seeing Zhao Xing's face so close at hand, she was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes.
Zhao Xing carried Yu Yanran to the bedside and put her on the bed. Seeing Yu Yanran motionless with her eyes closed, like a puppet on strings, Zhao Xing said speechlessly: "Go inside , otherwise you won’t be able to sleep alone. It’s a bit cold at night, so cover yourself with a quilt and don’t freeze.”
The main reason was that he couldn't stand it anymore. Yu Yanran was only wearing a tube top, exposing her shoulders and collarbone, but the back was empty and only tied with a ribbon.
When he hugged her just now, he felt the silky smoothness of her back, which made Zhao Xing feel very hot.
After hearing this, Yu Yanran's dizzy head gained a glimmer of consciousness. She opened her eyes like a frightened rabbit, lifted up the quilt and got in.
Zhao Xing shook his head slightly, lifted the quilt and lay down.
Close his eyes and try to calm himself down, but the faint fragrance kept entering his nose, making him feel inexplicably irritable.
After Yu Yanran got into bed, her head shrank into the bed.
When she felt the quilt being lifted, she felt nervous goosebumps.
However, after Zhao Xing lay down, there was no movement.
The room was very quiet, so quiet that Yu Yanran could even hear her own heartbeat and Zhao Xing's breathing. Zhao Xing didn't see any movement for a long time. While Yu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, a thought came to her mind - could she be asked to take the initiative?
Yu Yanran thought of what her grandma had taught her. She hesitated for a long time, suppressed her shyness, and stretched out her hand to fumble in the direction of Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing was reciting the scriptures he had pieced together, and finally calmed down, when he suddenly felt a hand touching him.
Zhao Xing was speechless. Are you so proactive?
Originally Zhao Xing wanted to pretend to be asleep, but Yu Yanran's hand was very accurate and she reached in through the slanted opening of his inner garment.
When Yu Yanran's hand touched the skin of his chest, he was shocked.
Zhao Xing stretched out his hand to hold Yu Yanran's hand, held Yu Yanran tightly in his arms with his other hand, put his lower hand on her head, and whispered: "Sleep, don't move."
Yu Yanran was held in Zhao Xing's arms and her head went blank. She didn't know how long it took before she regained her ability to think. Listening to Zhao Xing's even breathing, her tense nerves relaxed.
For some reason, she felt a little lost...
Zhao Xing really fell asleep, hugging Yu Yanran's soft body and smelling the fragrance of her body. Instead, he felt a sense of tranquility. It didn't take long before he fell asleep.
The next day, Zhao Xing woke up in a daze, not yet conscious. He felt a tenderness in his hands and squeezed them instinctively.
"Hmm~"
Yu Yanran groaned and opened her eyes blankly.
When Zhao Xing heard the low groan, he was completely awake and knew what he was holding.
I didn’t expect Yu Yanran to be quite predictable.
Seeing Yu Yanran open her eyes, Zhao Xing quickly pulled his hand back, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Yu Yanran felt the hot hand on her chest leave, and instantly understood what had happened, her face turned red as blood.
But when she saw Zhao Xing getting out of bed, she seemed to have thought of something and lifted the quilt to get up.
"You can sleep a little longer..."
Zhao Xing turned around and wanted to let Yu Yanran sleep a little longer, but happened to see Yu Yanran lifting the quilt and starting to do it.
The tube top and lingerie she was wearing was untied by someone unconsciously last night, or the ribbon at the back was untied while sleeping.
The tube top was made of soft silk and slipped down as Yu Yanran sat up.
Yu Yanran saw Zhao Xing stop talking and looked straight at her. She blushed and lowered her head. Only then did she realize that her bra had slipped down. She was shocked. With a cry, he pulled the quilt to cover himself.
Zhao Xing touched his nose and said, "It's still early, let me sleep a little longer."
After saying that, he walked out.
Ignoring her shyness, Yu Yanran showed her head and said urgently: "Your Highness, wait a moment, I... I will get up and help Your Highness change clothes."
"Didn't I tell you that it's still early, so I'll let you sleep a little longer," Zhao Xing said.
Yu Yanran said a little uneasily: "But serving His Highness is what a concubine should do, otherwise I should punish the slave."
Zhao Xing said a little domineeringly: "This is what Dong Gonggu said Forget it, if I let you sleep, you can sleep peacefully. Who dares to punish you?"
After that, Zhao Xing turned around and left, went to the inner room, and called the palace maid to help him wash up.
After washing, Zhao Xing warned: "Mother Feng, it's still early, let Yanran sleep a little longer, and don't go in to disturb her."
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Grandma Feng thought that Zhao Xing favored Yu Yanran last night. She was inconvenienced, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
Where was Yu Yanran sleeping? After Zhao Xing went out, she got up and put on her clothes.
By the time she packed up and came outside, Zhao Xing had already washed up and went out to practice martial arts.
Seeing Yu Yanran come out, Aunt Feng smiled and said: "His Royal Highness also said that Miss Yu should sleep a little longer. Why did Miss Yu get up by herself without shouting? I can arrange for someone to serve me. You guys are just standing there stupidly. Why don't you go and help Miss Yu wash up?"
"Thank you, mama." Yu Yanran thanked her.
"Miss Yu is so polite."
Nanny Feng arranged for a few palace maids to help Yu Yanran wash up, and then she went into the inner room with a few palace maids to clean the house.
When she came to the inner room, Nanny Feng went straight to the bed, lifted the quilt, and saw the slightly wrinkled Yuanpa, which was still white and flawless, and the smile on her face froze.
Reluctantly, she checked on the bed and found no red spots.
