C118 (2/2)
In the outer room, Mu Tan's light snoring could still be heard vaguely. It seemed that she was already asleep, and the lanterns outside the window were still flickering. Not far from the window, the sound of the beans and the firecrackers made it seem like Sun Jinzi was unable to sleep.
Tightening the blanket, Sun Jinzi felt even colder. She looked at the charcoal brazier and saw that the flames were still burning. This meant that the temperature was high enough and was extremely cold. However, she could only wrap the blanket tighter around herself.
”Zi Er, open the window.”
Sun Jinzi was constantly sleeping, when she suddenly heard a voice, she was shocked. Seeing that there was indeed a human figure on the window, Sun Jinzi knew that it must be Jin Chupei who was outside, and his heart was filled with joy.
He got up and opened the window lock. Then, he quickly put on his shoes and went back to bed. He then wrapped himself in the blanket.
After Jin Chupei jumped into the window, he glanced at the person on the bed and smiled. He felt as if the position in his heart had been filled up in an instant.
”Zi Er, why aren't you asleep yet? Could it be that you're waiting for me?”
Sun Jinzi rolled her eyes and did not say a word. As if she thought of something, and made a gesture of silence, Jin Chupei also shut her mouth, carefully listening to something.
Mu Tan was also awakened, she did not expect the Sixth Prince to be so careless, and did not realize there was someone else in the room.
”Miss, you haven't slept yet. I want to get up at night, afraid of waking you up. Aiyo, my stomach hurts, I'm going!”
Faintly hearing the sound of clothes being put on, followed by the sound of door closing, Mu Tan did not forget to carefully close the door.
Sun Jinzi and Jin Chupei looked at each other, and saw a hint of laughter in each other's eyes. The two of them had both shut their mouths and not mentioned about the palace feast s tonight. Sun Jinzi looked at Jin Chupei's face and a hint of concern appeared in his eyes.
”Is the Empress Dowager doing well?”
Jin Chupei stared blankly for a moment, and then smiled slightly, ”Mn, she's fine. Luckily I don't have any worries in my heart, otherwise, my heart would be in pain.”
Sun Jinzi nodded her head, seeing Jin Chupei drag a chair and sit on the side of the bed, his heart instantly felt filled with emotions, and he held Sun Jinzi's slightly cold hand in his hands, gently warming it.
”How did you know I went to see the Queen Mother?”
Jin Chupei had begged the royal father in the day and wanted to see the Queen Mother, but he had not agreed. As his son, how could he watch the Queen Mother celebrate New Year alone in the cold palace?
If he wanted to go, no one could stop him. But this time, Jin Chupei discovered that the security of the Qingyou Palace had increased by a lot. Jin Chupei was still a little happy, at least there would be no more vicious people casually entering and harming the Queen Mother.
”Gu gu …”
Sun Jinzi was startled when she heard the voice, she immediately retracted her hand and hid her head under the blanket.
What a disgrace, I was so hungry just now and I didn't have a stomach to howl for, but now I'm stomach, and this is in front of Jin Chupei, this stomach is really too disappointing!
Jin Chupei curled his lips, and even his eyes revealed a bright and beautiful smile.
”What's there to be shy about when you're hungry? It's your fault for eating so little on the palace feast.”
Sun Jinzi could clearly hear some ridicule from his words and she was even more angry. She pushed back her blanket and glared at Jin Chupei.
”Do you think you can't eat well even with an iron stomach like yours?”
”Gu gu …”
Sun Jinzi was startled for a moment, but after confirming that her stomach was growling subconsciously, she laughed out loud. Previously, this man was still laughing at him, but now it was finally his turn to vent her anger.
Jin Chupei was not afraid of her smiling, but seeing her smiling like that, he was also a little happy. Every time he met Sun Jinzi, he would feel that the more he got to know her, the more he would see of her, causing him to be even more irreconcilable, as if he wanted to make up for his previous life's love with her.
Sun Jinzi was even able to see a few traces of embarrassment in those glittering eyes.
”What are you looking at? It's already so late. Why aren't you going back to sleep?”
She knew that the imperial family had many rules, and would even need to wake up early tomorrow to pay respects to the ancestral hall. It was already so late, but Sun Jinzi was worried that Jin Chupei might not be spirited tomorrow.
”I don't want to sleep yet. As a person, if I'm hungry, I won't be able to sleep.”
Sun Jinzi looked at Jin Chupei contemptuously. She had forgotten that in the past, there were really times when he would get up after falling asleep, so she had suspected that he had gone over there. However, when he came back, he always brought along the scent of food, so she knew where he had gone over to, she had thought it was strange at first, but now, Sun Jinzi knew that he was not lying. She could not help but feel that this man was even cuter.
”Then quickly go back and eat something, I'm going to sleep.”
Sun Jinzi did not lie down, nor did she seem like she was going to leave. She glared at him, and only smiled slightly.
”That maid of yours isn't back yet. I'll wait for her to come back before leaving.”
Why did Mu Tan that girl come back? Maybe she had already gone back to her room to sleep, and was snoring like thunder again.
”You don't have to wait for her. She won't be back tonight.”
”That's great. I'll take you out to eat.”
Carefully looking at Jin Chupei's eyes, Sun Jinzi was sure that he was not joking, and could not help but feel a little moved.
