1826 I’d Like To Go To Sleep, Long Yin
Long Yin sat next to her in bed and pulled her into his arms. He said a little helplessly, “Why have you become a little reserved with me after we haven’t seen each other for a few months?”

“I’m not.” Hexin lifted her head to look at him.

“Are you sure?” Long Yin lifted her chin and stared at her with his deep, dark eyes. “We’re now husband and wife. I don’t want to see you being so reserved with me. You married all the way here to Great Shang—if you still act so polite and distant when facing me, it would only make me sad. It hurts to see you this way. I hope that you can live a carefree and relaxed life after marrying me, and not act all distant and reserved.”

Hexin could not help reflecting on her actions after hearing this.

After setting their wedding date last year, they had not seen each other for close to six months. They had met in a hurry a few days ago after she arrived at Great Shang and did not manage to speak to each other. When they next met last night, it was already their wedding night.

Since meeting him again, she seemed to have become more reserved and distant from him. It was probably because they had not seen each other for a long time.

This time, she relaxed as she met the serious look in his eyes. She nodded. “Alright, Big Bro Long Yin.” Her arms circled his neck as she spoke and she kissed him on his clear, clean chin.

However, she still blushed when she met his deep, dark eyes, and she pulled herself a little further from him.

Long Yin hugged her tighter instead and carried her to sit on his lap. After that, he took the dress beside him and put it on for her.

Taking it off had been easy, but putting it on was much more difficult.

It was the first time Long Yin was helping a girl put on her dress and he fumbled a little. He could not do it as fast as he hoped.

Hexin sat on his lap and could not help laughing at the way he was helping her dress up.

He did not look at all like the high and mighty Crown Prince right now.

“What are you laughing at?” Long Yin finally helped her put the dress on with difficulty. He was about to help her tie her belt on when he saw her laughing and he looked at her with a frown.

Hexin quickly pressed her lips tight. “Nothing.”

Long Yin looked deeply at her and said purposefully, “I’ll take care of you tonight.”

Hexin blushed and did not dare laugh at him any longer as she looked at him quietly.

That night, they returned to the Eastern Palace after having dinner at Grand Phoenix Palace.

It was still early, so Long Yin went to the study to finish some work before returning to their bedchamber.

Hexin had already taken her bath when he returned and was leaning against the bed’s pillar as she read. Her dark, glowing hair hung on her shoulders and she looked especially serene.

She quickly put her book away when she saw him return and got off the bed.

“Do you want to take your bath?” She went up to him as she wanted to help him change.

“Yes.” Long Yin nodded. A smile appeared on his lips as he watched the girl get busy in front of him, and an unfamiliar feeling welled inside of him.

It was the first time Hexin was attending to him changing. It took her quite some effort before she managed to take off his robes.

She had just hung them up when he hugged her from behind and said huskily, “Hexin, come and attend to me for my bath.”

Hexin’s heart thumped. She did not reject him and nodded gently. “Okay.”

Long Yin held her hand and they went to the bathroom together.

However, they did not leave the bathroom for a long time after going in.

By the time they came out, Hexin was curled up in his arms, revealing her fair, slender legs.

Hexin could hardly keep her eyes open when the soft covers touched her body.

She could not help but shudder a little when she saw the man still looking energetic. She began to beg for mercy. “I’d like to go to sleep, Long Yin…”
