When She Yue woke up from her sleep, it was already dusk.

The terrible nightmare made She Yue sit up suddenly. Cold sweat broke out on her smooth and plump forehead. When she found out that it was just a dream, the alluring princess breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" A figure flashed into the house.

She Yue's face was a little pale. When she saw Qin Xiao rushing in with a concerned look on her face, she shook her head: "It's okay, just...it's nothing." She glanced out the window and saw that it was already dusk, frowned and said, "What time is it?"

Already?"

"I don't know, but you seem to be too tired from sleeping until now." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "The dishes were cooked at noon. I wanted to wake you up, but I saw that you were sleeping soundly.

, I didn’t call you.”

She Yue looked a little uncomfortable and a little annoyed: "Did you come into the house while I was asleep?"

"Didn't enter the house." Qin Xiao knew that although the princess looked charming on the outside, she was actually a cold beauty, charming on the outside but cold on the inside. If he told her that he had been staring at her peach butt for a long time when he was bored, what would happen to her?

The beauty was afraid that she would jump out of bed and fight with her, and said with a sincere face: "I just took a look at the door of the room. In addition to cooking, I patrol the village to protect the safety of the princess."

With a delicate face and a sincere expression, She Yue spread her brows and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Princess, please wait a moment." Qin Xiao went out and soon came in with two broken earthen jars. As soon as she entered the door, She Yue smelled an appetizing aroma that penetrated her nose.

, there are so many delicacies in the palace, but She Yue has never had such an appetite as she does now.

Qin Xiao directly placed the earthen jar on the wooden bed. She Yue took a look and saw that among the two earthen jars, one contained roast chicken and the other contained delicious fish soup.

Sheyue's throat moved, but she still looked calm and asked, "You went fishing?"

"There are fish in the pond by the village." Qin Xiao handed She Yue a pair of chopsticks and said with a smile: "I finally caught two, princess. The water in the pond is very clear and the fish in it are very clean."

She Yue rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Who dislikes being unclean?" She took the chopsticks, but she was still very reserved and did not move them immediately. When she saw Qin Xiao standing by the bed, she hesitated and finally used them towards the opposite side.

With a look, Qin Xiao was very smart. He understood immediately and was not polite. Just as he was about to take off his shoes and go to bed, She Yue already said: "No need to take them off, let's just do it like this." I thought that you have been gone for several days and you haven't taken them off yet.

The smell of smelly socks comes out of my shoes. If I really need to take them off, I won't eat anymore.

Qin Xiao laughed, got on the bed and sat down cross-legged opposite She Yue.

"Where are your chopsticks?" She Yue was a little surprised to see that she only had one pair of chopsticks.

Qin Xiao said: "I don't need chopsticks. Princess eats first, and I will just use my hands later." Pointing to the roasted chicken, he said: "I use chopsticks to poke it here and there, but I can't tear it apart with my hands and eat it happily."

She Yue also sat cross-legged, trying not to let the injured sole of her foot touch anything. Even so, her sitting posture was still very elegant.

"Bring some water, I need to wash my hands." She Yue put down her chopsticks.

Qin Xiao was startled, but immediately got out of bed and went out. He quickly brought in an old wooden basin filled with water. Knowing that She Yue had difficulty walking, he brought it directly to the bedside. She Yue washed her hands and Qin Xiao put down the wooden basin.

He washed the basin himself and sat across from She Yue again.

"No need for chopsticks." She Yue looked at the golden roast chicken in the earthen pot, moved her index finger, and no longer pretended to be reserved: "Tear it up for me."

Qin Xiao laughed and said: "That's right." He stretched out his hand and tore off a chicken leg and handed it to She Yue. She Yue took it. Qin Xiao tore off a chicken wing and ate it deliciously. She Yue

Seeing that he was already eating, he was no longer polite. Although he still tried his best to maintain the dignity that a princess should have, he devoured it after a few bites.

"Has the princess ever eaten roast chicken like this in the palace?" Qin Xiao's mouth was filled with oil.

She Yue shook her head and said: "There is also roasted chicken in the palace, but I don't like it. During the meal, the palace servants will cut the chicken into small pieces, and the palace is not allowed to use hands to catch it. You should treat the palace as the same as the folk.

, you can do whatever you want? When you are in the palace, there are royal rules for food, clothing, housing and transportation. If there is anything wrong, there will be a special palace person beside you to nag you."

"You are a princess, and someone dares to talk about you?"

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been female palace officials responsible for regulating the words and deeds in the palace." She Yue said: "Even the saints have palace servants around them to remind them of their behavior, let alone a princess like me."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I thought that as a princess, I would have nothing to worry about. It turns out that you have to abide by the rules."

"Is it funny?" She Yue glared at Qin Xiao, "Don't laugh."

Qin Xiao suppressed his laughter and looked at She Yue's charming face. He suddenly turned his head and burst out laughing.

She Yue said angrily: "Don't laugh, if you laugh again... laugh again...!" Suddenly she realized that she was in such a state of desperation that there was nothing she could do to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao raised his hand and pointed at the corner of She Yue's mouth. She Yue didn't react for a moment and frowned: "What?" He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, only to find a small piece of chicken skin stuck to the corner of his mouth.

Only then did I understand why Qin Xiao couldn't hold back his laughter. He blushed for a moment and wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Your majestic princess, have you ever been in such a humiliating situation in front of your courtiers?

But this kid was really looking at the joke and staring at his own face.

If there was a knife at hand, She Yue could not wait to slash through it.

"I used to do this all the time." Qin Xiao recalled the past: "Every time I ate chicken, if I was too hungry and choked on it, the chicken skin would stick to the corners of my mouth...!"

She Yue took the unfinished chicken legs, took a deep breath, and her plump and tall breasts rose and fell, highlighting the majesty that a princess should have. She raised her hand and pointed to the door: "Get out!"

"I'm not full yet!"

"I tell you to get out, hurry up!"

Musk moon phoenix has sharp eyes.

Qin Xiao laughed, got out of bed and went out.

After the villagers left, the village was extremely deserted. It was getting dark now, but Qin Xiao was very alert. He knew that this was not a safe place, and someone would touch it at any time.

After walking around the village to make sure it was safe, he returned to the house. As soon as he entered the house, he heard She Yue call: "Qin Xiao, come here!"

Qin Xiao estimated that after turning around in a circle, She Yue should have finished eating. He entered the room, but the sky turned dark. There were no lights in the room, and it was dark. All he could see was She Yue's figure sitting beside the bed.

"Where have you been?"

"Walking around the village, beware of anyone coming."

She Yue hesitated for a moment and then said: "From now on, you stay here and don't go anywhere."

Qin Xiao was startled and said in surprise: "But what should I do when I go to bed at night? I can't stay in this room when the princess goes to bed."

"This...!" She Yue thought for a moment: "You go find some hay and spread it on the ground, and sleep here at night." "Princess, this is not good, right?" Qin Xiao thought to himself that he had just put me on the ground not long ago.

I was kicked out, and now I let myself sleep in the same room at night. This change is really big: "There is another room over there, I can just sleep there. Don't worry, I sleep with my eyes open at night, no one can

Close to you."

She Yue said anxiously: "This is my order. You must not disobey it."

"I'm not disobeying the princess's order. I'm worried that if I sleep in the same room with you tonight, when I return to Kyoto, you will trouble me about what happened tonight and accuse me of blasphemy against the princess. Then I will have a hard time defending myself.

Ah." Qin Xiao shook his head: "I forgive you for not daring to make a mistake."

She Yue seemed even more annoyed and didn't speak for a while. Qin Xiao said softly: "Princess, if you don't have any other instructions, can I just pack up and go out?"

"Then...can you find a lamp and light one in the house?" She Yue's tone even contained a hint of pleading.

Qin Xiao immediately said: "Princess, we are still being hunted by the Queen Mother Association. Are you lighting a lamp here because you are afraid that people will not know there is someone in the village? What if someone sees a lamp and touches it?"

"If you don't stay and don't light the lamp, then... what should I do?" She Yue said angrily.

Qin Xiao was a little confused and said: "Princess, I...I don't understand what you mean."

The princess hesitated for a moment and finally said: "I...I'm afraid of the dark!"

Qin Xiao was startled, and then almost laughed out loud.

The Princess of the Tang Dynasty, who held countless lives and deaths in her hands, was the most beautiful woman in charge of strategizing, and was actually afraid of the dark?

"The lights must not be lit." Qin Xiao seemed to be in a dilemma and thought for a moment: "Since the princess has an order, I can only obey it. However, after returning to the capital, the princess must not settle accounts with the queen or take advantage of others' danger."

She Yue snorted coldly and said: "Taking advantage of others' danger? Do you have the courage?" Then he said: "You clean up and take me to the pond."

"To the pond now?"

"Why are you talking so much?" She Yue said angrily.

However, Qin Xiao already understood that She Yue must not be able to bear it anymore and had to go to the pond to take a good bath no matter what. Three days without bathing was certainly a torture for this golden princess.

Qin Xiao packed up the earthen pots, then came over and carried She Yue to the small pond at the edge of the village.

In May, the grass beside the pond is lush, and the bright moon rises. The moonlight shines on the calm, mirror-like water, and is reflected in it, making it extremely clear.

Qin Xiao carefully placed She Yue by the pond and reminded: "Princess, don't go into the water. The injury on your foot is not healed, and you can't see the water yet."

"I know." She Yue thought for a moment and then said: "You go to the nearby area to check, I will call you after I wash it." The voice suddenly turned cold: "Qin Xiao, what should I do and what shouldn't be done? I shouldn't do it.

May I remind you?"

Aren't you just worried that I might peek at you taking a shower? Do you really think that I have no bottom line?

Qin Xiao could only say: "Don't worry about taking a bath. I will never come here without your greeting. Princess, learning to trust others is also a skill." Without any nonsense, he turned around and left without looking back.

When She Yue saw Qin Xiao walking away, she felt relieved and moved to the edge of the grass, using the grass as cover. In this way, even if Qin Xiao hid and watched from a distance, he would never be able to see him.

That guy may not dare to peek, but it's always good to be more prepared.
