Qiao Xuan flushed and felt so sweet inside her heart. She said shyly, “Me too…”
“What is it?”
“….”
The two of them exchanged a look and smiled. Qiao Xuan chuckled as she buried her head in Shao Yunduan’s chest, complaining a little with her sweet voice.
The two of them spent a lot of time together, and time passed very fast. They seemed to arrive at the house in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Xuan adjusted her clothes and hair, putting on a dignified look.
Shao Yunduan chuckled and took hold of her hands. “We are home, let’s get inside.”
Qiao Xuan smiled and got off the wagon with him.
Back at home in the capital, Sun Qian and Sun Bai bade them farewell and returned to the East Palace with their men.
Qiao Xuan said to Shao Yunduan with a regretful smile. “Sun Bai and Sun Qian are trained by the East Palace. They are capable, reliable and dutiful. How rare!”
The Crown Prine was one of the most influential people in the imperial family, and there were many aspects that no one could compare to. Ordinary families would not be able to train people like Sun Bai and Sun Qian unless they were lucky.
Shao Yunduan put his arms around her and smiled. “It seems that they have saved you a lot of trouble. Crown Prince has many people who can be of use to you, and it doesn’t matter if they are away from the Crown Prince. If there is a chance, I will ask Crown Prince to let them work for us in the future, okay?”
They were working for the Crown Prince anyway.
Qiao Xuan’s eyes sparkled. “Is that really okay? Will Crown Prince be displeased?”
Shao Yunduan said, “No!”
Qiao Xuan was very happy. “That is great, but you don’t have to force yourself.” It was not worth it to offend the Crown Prince.
Shao Yunduan smiled warmly and said, “No need to worry.”
During his service to the Crown Prince, Shao Yunduan had never made any mistakes. Now, in the East Palace, he held a position that commanded respect from all. Perhaps it was due to Minister Old Yun’s influence that the Crown Prince held him in such high regard. All he required were two loyal individuals to assist him, and the Crown Prince would not be concerned.
However, Shao Yunduan preferred not to dwell on this topic. They were back home now, and it was time to focus on their reunion.
He changed the subject, gazing affectionately at Qiao Xuan. His arms wrapped around her, and he leaned in to whisper softly, “My love…”
Qiao Xuan’s heart skipped a beat as she felt a tingling sensation spread throughout her body. She playfully nuzzled against him, her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately.
Shao Yunduan eagerly reciprocated. His anticipation and desire grew with each passing moment. The room’s temperature rose, enveloping them in an atmosphere of passion and intimacy.
Unbeknownst to them, Lixia, who had been about to enter the room with tea, paused outside the door. Her cheeks flushed, and she discreetly withdrew.
Shao Yunduan only had one day off, with government office duties awaiting him the next day.
Qiao Xuan luxuriated in her late morning slumber, feeling completely at ease and lazy in the comfort of their home. She had no intention of leaving her bed.
The previous evening, they had only emerged from their bath and enjoyed a late dinner when darkness had already fallen. Afterward, they had slept for hours, leaving them feeling delightfully languid and unwilling to stir from their intimate cocoon.
But she couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of contentment and fulfillment.
Her cheeks flushed as she recalled the events of the previous night, her heart swelling with sweet memories.
Qiao Xuan finally rose from her slumber at lunchtime.
After a refreshing bath and getting dressed, Lixia and Liqiu served lunch. Lixia also presented a platter of vibrant red strawberries, elegantly arranged on a white rhododendron-style fruit tray, creating a visually stunning and tempting display.
