The next day happened to be a rest day, so Ning Chen didn't have to attend court, and therefore, Yuan Jiu didn't wake him up outside.
As for Ye Yun, she usually slept until the third watch when she didn't need to get up early to pay her respects, so the servants in Yu Xiu Pavilion also didn't wake her.
As a result, the two of them ended up sleeping until nearly lunchtime.
In the end, it was Ning Chen who woke up first.
He moved his arm, which had fallen asleep, feeling quite numb.
Being pressed by the woman in his arms all night was somewhat unbearable.
He planned to gently pull away, but unexpectedly, his movement startled Ye Yun awake.
"What time is it? Why hasn't Your Majesty gone to court?"
Ye Yun turned her body, burying her face in the soft pillow while clearly still not fully awake.
"I'm taking a break today. What about you? Do you usually sleep like this?"
Although his tone was somewhat disdainful, he didn't get out of bed and instead turned to embrace her.
It was early in the morning, and with the warmth of soft skin in his embrace, and since they hadn't done anything last night, it was hard not to feel restless.
His hands, not obeying, began to explore through her nightgown.
Ye Yun hummed a couple of times, turning to face Ning Chen, raising her legs to hook around his waist, her head leaning against his chest.
How could anyone resist such initiative?
Thus, on this cold morning, they engaged in a harmonious and delightful activity.
Perhaps Ning Chen had been holding it in for too long, and he was a little too violent, causing Ye Yun to scratch several red marks on his shoulders and back, not to mention the marks on his neck.
"Are you born in the year of a dog?" Ning Chen gritted his teeth.
He hadn't felt the pain before, but now, with the passion fading and sweat dampening the skin, it was somewhat uncomfortable.
Ye Yun rolled her eyes and weakly poked his chest. "Your Majesty keeps asking this. Then let me ask you, are you a wolf? So fierce."
As she spoke, she lifted the covers and pointed to the red marks on her chest and waist, which were clearly left by a certain wolf.
Ning Chen rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He hastily threw on a middle coat and called for someone to come in and assist with washing up.
The servants in Yu Xiu Pavilion were quite perceptive, having already prepared hot water and a bathtub early in the morning, and they had also warmed several pots of charcoal in the washroom, making it cozy.
The two of them went in and had a comfortable bath.
After lunch, Ning Chen returned to Jiu Chen Palace to handle state affairs.
However, before leaving, he specifically instructed them he would come back in the evening.
Naturally, Ye Yun had no objections to being thought of by the Emperor.
Before he left, she gave him a sweet kiss, making it hard for him to concentrate on the documents for the rest of the afternoon.
While Ning Chen had to face the grind of work, Ye Yun was left with nothing to do.
