Eunuch Zhang left as soon as Mu Xiyue entered Chaoyang Palace. Not even a maid had come out to welcome her. She could imagine what a poor life the eldest prince lived!

She sat for a quite a while in the main hall. Having got too bored, she fell asleep over the table.

It wasn’t her fault, honestly. She didn’t sleep at all last night. And today, she had so many things to handle. She got really sleepy.

Back in the 21st century, she performed operations on a patient for nearly a dozen of hours. After the operation, she could even sleep while standing! Therefore, she could sleep wherever possible.

Long Yinfeng saw her sleeping over the table when he came back. He had thought that she could come later. So, he didn’t ask his servants to clear up his palace or welcome his new wife yet.

Carrying Long Yinfeng on his back, Mo Heng went back to the palace. He was also shocked when he saw Mu Xiyue and he asked, “Where is Yanzi? Why is here a girl in Chaoyang Palace?”

Long Yinfeng patted his shoulder and ordered, “Put me on the chair near her.”

“But your wound...” said Mo Heng, worried.

But before he finished, Long Yinfeng stopped him. “I’m fine.”

Mo Heng had to put him on the chair near Mu Xiyue. He was about to wake Mu Xiyue up when Long Yinfeng caught him by the arm. With a serious look, Long Yinfeng said, “She’s now my wife and your master. You must protect her in the same way you protect me. Got it?”

Mo Heng glanced at Mu Xiyue. She was rather thin. He guessed that she might only turn fifteen. Besides, she used to be Prince De’s wife. She was not good enough for his master Long Yinfeng.

Resentful, he complained, “Your Highness. Why do you agree to marry her? She was Prince De’s wife. She isn’t good enough to be yours.”

Long Yinfeng looked unhappy. He stared at Mo Heng sharply, “Dare you say one more word! I’ll kill you!”

Mo Heng lowered his head. He realized that he was talking too much.

“Get out!” Long Yinfeng yelled simply, but Mo Heng still felt his anger. Mo Heng left, frowning.

Long Yinfeng looked back at Mu Xiyue, who was having a sound sleep over the table. He reached out to touch her. First, on her beautiful face. Then, eyes. Nose and soft mouth.

The tender feeling reminded him of last night when he accidentally toucher her skin. The feeling seemed to remain at his fingertips.

He just sat there, staring at her face, until it got dark.  

When Mu Xiyue woke up, it was all dark in the main hall. She gave a stretch. Wow, she had a wonderful sleep.

“Finally, you woke up.” There came a sudden voice, which freaked her out. She took a closer look and saw someone sitting on the chair nearby.

She patted her breast and complained, “You’re freaking me out!”

Long Yinfeng waved his arm and the candles in the main hall suddenly lit up. His handsome face turned up in the air.

“You’re the eldest prince?” asked Mu Xiyue.

She stared at him. “What a handsome guy!” thought she. “If he were in the 21st century, he would be a popular idol!”

Long Yinfeng winked and asked, “You know me?”

“I met you today, in the Imperial Study.” Mu Xiyue approached him and replied with a shy smile, “You look much more handsome than Long Yichen.”

There came a slight smell of herb. Looked like he was chronic and he always took medicine.

He lowered his eyes and smiled, “I thought you recognized me.”

He talked in such a low voice that Mu Xiyue could hardly hear him. She then got closer and asked, “What did you say? Sorry I didn’t get it.”

The beautiful smell of girl lingered on around him. Looking at her red lips, Long Yinfeng forced himself to look away and replied faintly, “Nothing.”

Mu Xiyue sat back, patted her belly and complained, “I had nothing to eat today. I’m starving.”

“Yanzi, get us the dinner.” said Long Yinfeng.

Just as his words faded away, a girl, wearing a lavender dress, walked in. She gave a kind smile and put the dishes on the table.

She explained, “Miss Mu, I don’t know what you like. So, I made you some different dishes. Hope you’ll enjoy them.”

Mu Xiyue pounced at the table! She couldn’t help swallowing while she stared at such delicious dishes!

“I’m not picky at food! I’ll eat whatever you made me.”

She took up the bowl and chopsticks. Before she was about to enjoy the dinner, she suddenly thought of Long Yinfeng. She then turned to him and asked, “Why are you still sitting there? Come and have dinner!”

Yanzi no longer smiled and tried to explain. But Long Yinfeng did it before her, “Don’t bother. I can’t walk. Mo Heng will come in and carry me there.”

As he spoke, his eyes were dimmed. Mu Xiyue realized that she asked a wrong question.  

She apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t mean that.”

Long Yinfeng forced a smile and shook his head. “It’s okay. I’m used to that.”

The simple reply made Mu Xiyue feel so sad.

He was the eldest prince, who used to fight battles. But now, he couldn’t walk unless carried on someone else’s back. No one could accept such a big change!

He not only had to accept the fate alone, but also had to bear terrible gossips. He really made Mu Xiyue’s heart ache.

She said, “I met a man last night. He was injured and he couldn’t walk, either. I promised him that I would cure him if I met him again. I wonder how he’s doing now.”

Just then, Mo Heng walked in. He carried Long Yinfeng on his back. Mu Xiyue patted the chair next to her and said, “Get him here.”

Mo Heng glanced at her, but didn’t plan to put Long Yinfeng beside her.

“Mo Heng!” yelled Long Yinfeng angrily. He was annoyed.

Mo Heng didn’t put Long Yinfeng in the chair beside Mu Xiyue until Yanzi winked at him.  

Mu Xiyue bit the chopsticks and glanced at Mo Heng. She said to Long Yinfeng, “I don’t think your bodyguard like me.”

Instead of replying, Long Yinfeng said coldly to Mo Heng with a poker face, “Leave and go get punished.”

Mo Heng opened his mouth. But words remained on his lips. he only replied, “Yes.”

Mu Xiyue frowned as she watched Mo Heng leaving. She said, “I was just kidding. Now you punish him and he’ll hate me more.”

Long Yinfeng took up his chopsticks and filled her bowl with some vegetables. He asked, “Aren’t you hungry? Enjoy your dinner, or it’ll get cold.”

Well, instantly he asked, Mu Xiyue felt awfully hungry. She took up his bowl and devoured the dishes.
