1827 Could Not Hold Back
A woman who has received his love would have a different-sounding voice than before. Instead of a clear ring, she now sounded a little husky and seductive.

Long Yin was still young, after all. Even though he was quite tactical at handling affairs in the imperial court, this was the first time he had tasted the forbidden fruit. Faced with a seductive beauty who was this gorgeous, he could not hold back.

There was a dark look in his eyes as he climbed onto her once more.

…

Hexin slept in the next day.

It was already noontime when she woke up and Long Yin was no longer in the room.

She was shocked to find out she had overslept and quickly got up.

Die’er came in to attend to her. When Die’er saw her condition, she placated Hexin and said, “There is no need to feel anxious, Crown Princess. The Crown Prince has instructed us to let you sleep in longer.”

“But I need to go to Grand Phoenix Palace for the morning greeting…” Hexin said after some hesitation.

“Her Highness was concerned for you and sent someone before this to inform you that you don’t need to greet her in the next few days,” Die’er said with a smile.

Hexin suddenly felt embarrassed when she heard this. She felt that her mother-in-law had seen through everything.

The thought of what had happened the night before made her blush furiously.

Die’er helped her change her dress. The moment Hexin sat in front of the dressing table to comb her hair, Long Yin returned.

Long Yin’s dark eyes twinkled with a smile as he watched the prim yet beautiful woman sitting in front of the dressing table. He gave Die’er a quick glance.

Die’er understood the hint and quickly left the room.

Long Yin went behind Hexin and looked at the blushing woman through the mirror. He picked up the comb and helped her comb her thick, beautiful hair.

Hexin’s long eyelashes fluttered and her eyes closed slightly. She did not dare to look at him. All she said was, “Let me do it myself.”

Long Yin placed a hand on her shoulder and leaned in close to her ear. “Let me comb your hair for you.”

Hexin blushed instantly. She bit her lip and glanced at him, then relented.

They returned to their bedchamber after lunch.

“Do you want to take a nap?” Long Yin asked.

“No, I don’t.” Hexin shook her head. She had slept the entire day before and she had only woken up at noontime today. If you continued sleeping right now, others might not look kindly at her.

Long Yin could tell what she was thinking and he caressed her cheek as he said softly, “Go and have some rest if you’re tired. You don’t need to be bothered what others think of you.”

“I’m really not tired.” Hexin pushed his hands away and sat on the soft bed at the side. She sipped some tea nonchalantly.

Long Yin walked over to her and put his hands on either of her sides. A smile appeared on his lips. “Hmm… It looks like last night… Mmph!”

Hexin quickly pushed a piece of cake into his mouth and said with angry embarrassment, “Stop spouting nonsense.”

Long Yin was taken aback and he suddenly held her cheeks as he leaned in with the cake in his mouth.

Hexin realized what he wanted to do and tried her best to avoid him.

In the end, she failed and was instead pressed onto the bed by him as she took a mouthful of the cake as well.

Cake crumbs were all over their faces.

They looked at each other and could not help bursting out in laughter.

Hexin looked at the Crown Prince, who was not his usual prim and proper self, and smiled. She took out her handkerchief and carefully wiped his face clean.

Long Yin stayed on top of her as he steadied himself with his hands. He looked at the cake crumbs on the corner of her mouth and took the handkerchief from her hand to clean her mouth for her as well.

“Accompany for a nap, Xinxin.” He hugged her after a while and laid down on the soft bed.

“It’s too narrow here. Let’s go back to sleep on the bed,” Hexin said.

Long Yin’s fingers brushed her shoulders and there was a glint in his eye. “We’d better. Otherwise, I’m worried you won’t be able to take it.”
Hexin was embarrassed and angry to hear that. She gave him a punch. “How can you be so naughty?”
