"You can leave." Xie Fei said to the people standing at the side, waving his hands. Thanks to the wine, his cold voice carried a few points of softness.

The people answered in agreement, retreating.Please read at yanyantls dot wordpress dot com.

As soon as the doors opened and closed, there were only two people remaining in the room. In the quiet, Xi Wen could even hear the soft sound of the candle burning. Her heart suddenly tightened, her two hands unconsciously squeezing her clothes tightly.

Xi Wen held her breath, listening carefully. In the next second, she felt the red veil on her head being lifted gently. She timidly raised her eyes, glimpsing Xie Fei's tall and fair figure standing in front of her. He asked with a slight smile, "You've waited long, haven't you? Just now I was drinking wine with Tang You and the others, it wasn't good to refuse."

Xi Wen wanted to shake her head, but she didn't dare to move. The phoenix coronet on her head looked exquisite, but it was extremely heavy. Her neck had long been pressed until it was sore and soft. She could only say quietly, "It wasn't long."

Xie Fei noticed she was leaning her head to the side, looking unwell. A sliver of laughter slipped into his inklike pupils. He reached out to take the phoenix coronet off of her head.

Xi Wen only felt her head suddenly get lighter, immediately looking at Xie Fei with astonishment.

"Wearing this is heavy, right? If it's not comfortable just take it off. From now on, this is your house. There's no need to be so reserved," Xie Fei said lightly, looking at her. He set the phoenix coronet on the dressing table at the side.

It was easy to say it like this, but coming to a strange place, there weren't many people who could really relax, Xi Wen thought secretly in her heart, but her little face flushed. She shyly lowered her head, fingers stealthily pinching the blankets underneath her. Her voice quiet as a mosquito, she mumbled, "I know now. Many thanks to Young Master."

Xie Fei nodded, taking Xi Wen by the hand. She froze, unconsciously standing to follow him.

When they reached table, she returned to her senses. She struggled to pull away her hand, her face red. "Young Master..."

Xie Fei laughed, letting go of her readily. He pushed the pastries on the table towards her. "You're hungry, right? Eat some pastries first, I've already had Lu Qi go to the kitchen to get food boxes."Please read at yanyantls dot wordpress dot com.

Xi Wen looked at the pastries and nodded, her eyes sparkling. She reached out to take a pastry, eating it carefully. She was really too hungry. Other than the few candies her empress mother had slipped to her before getting on the bridal sedan, she hadn't eaten anything for the entire day. Her stomach had started rumbling a long time ago. Now, seeing food, how could she remember anything else?

Xie Fei's right hand supported his chin, slightly tilting his hand and focusing on Xi Wen tenderly. He always knew she was beautiful. Even Houtu was inferior to her by a bit. But just now when he lifted the bridal veil, even he was shocked.

It was probably because he had lived alone deep in the palace for so many years. After knowing Xi Wen for so long, he rarely saw her put on makeup, but today she had drawn on exquisite makeup, put her hair up in a complicated bun, and even put on a hairpin with all kinds of pearls.
