Chapter 153 Happy New Year
The fire in the room flickered quietly, and the house was unusually quiet.
Jiang Yunxi has never been able to stay up late. On the surface, she was forcing herself to keep watch here, but in fact, she had already fallen asleep with her head propped up.
Zhen Zhen held the cat and sat on a mat beside the stove so that she could add more charcoal to the fire.
But as she waited, she fell asleep with the kitten in her arms.
Nan Nan sent the other servants back to rest early. Nan Nan, the only one awake in the room, put a cloak on Zhen Zhen and another cloak on Jiang Yunxi.
She also sat cross-legged on the mat beside the stove, fiddling with the charcoal fire with a pair of fire tongs.
Nan Nan looked at the charcoal fire, then looked at Jiang Yunxi and Zhen Zhen, thinking, "Maybe a day like this is not bad?"
Jiang Yunxi's hands on the table could no longer support his head, and he suddenly crashed into the table.
A hand held her face steadily. Jiang Yunxi rubbed her face against his palm, as if she had found a comfortable position, and did not wake up.
Nan Nan stood up and was about to salute.
Zhao Changyu raised his index finger to cover his lips, signaling Nan Nan not to wake up Jiang Yunxi.
Nan Nan nodded and said nothing.
Zhao Changyu picked up Jiang Yunxi and walked towards her bedroom.
Nan Nan looked very relieved and sat down cross-legged again, not worrying at all about what might happen in the bedroom.
Jiang Yunxi found a comfortable position in Zhao Changyu's arms, holding on to the clothes on his chest tightly.
She was sleeping soundly and Zhao Changyu didn't want to wake her up.
Jiang Yunxi, who depends on him like this, is a completely different person when she is awake.
Zhao Changyu casually curled her hair with one hand and kept watch over her with his eyes open.
He knew that Jiang Yunxi didn't want to be his queen.
But he couldn't bear to let her go. If he lost this last bit of comfort, he wouldn't be able to survive in the palace.
The world is so big, once Jiang Yunxi runs away, he will never come back.
When the night watchman sounded, Zhao Changyu gathered Jiang Yunxi, kissed her on the forehead, and said to her happily, "Happy New Year, Yunxi."
Jiang Yunxi responded in a daze, but in fact, she was just having a sweet dream and did not hear what Zhao Changyu said.
Zhao Changyu curled the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes, and gradually fell asleep.
------------
"Ha!" Jiang Yunxi put the scroll heavily on the table, his eyes full of sneers, "I knew it, why is His Majesty so anxious to let Jiang Youcai inherit the position of the Duke of Zhenguo? It turns out that... there is trouble in the south, and a powerful person is needed to calm the situation. He didn't even think about how a new noble like Jiang Youcai can win the trust of the soldiers in the army?"
Seeing that Jiang Yunxi was angry, Nan Nan pursed her lips and said, "How about the princess go and talk to His Majesty?"
"I'm afraid he has already made up his mind. No matter who goes to talk to him, it won't work." Jiang Yunxi said seriously, "Nannan, you go with Ah Cai. If there is any situation at the front line, you can send a message back and I will try to coordinate it."
"It seems that the princess is not as indifferent to what's happening outside as you said. It just depends on the person." Nan Nan said with a smile.
She hadn't finished her sentence yet, "Why does the princess always try to avoid talking about your majesty's affairs, as if trying to cover up something that is only making it more obvious?"
But Nan Nan would not say this out loud. Jiang Yunxi was like a frightened kitten now and could not bear to hear anything about Zhao Changyu.
Nan Nan had a silent smile on her lips.
"In addition, I allow you to investigate the case secretly, collect evidence, and overturn the case for the Yang family."
Nan Nan's expression suddenly became serious. She clasped her fists and bowed to Jiang Yunxi, "Thank you, Princess."
