After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

The eldest princess was not displeased when she heard this, but she did not give a direct answer either. She only said, "It depends on your performance. Well, I'm a little sleepy and want to rest for a while." After that, without giving him a chance to speak again, she put her arm around his waist and lay down directly.

Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, but the princess had already fallen asleep and was still breathing softly.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This was the first time he had such close contact with a girl, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

After a long moment, he looked down at the woman sleeping in his arms.

The eldest princess's appearance is not the kind that will amaze you at first sight.

But she has a pretty face, the type that is pleasing to the eye.

But now, as she fell asleep, she lost her usual nobility and coldness, and instead gave people the feeling of a soft little girl.

Qin Xuan curled the corners of his lips.

But soon, he remembered that he had not asked her what happened.

Suddenly, I lost all desire to sleep.

When the eldest princess woke up, she noticed someone staring at her closely. She paused for a moment and then remembered that Qin Xuan was still there.

After waking up from a nap, she felt much more awake and naturally remembered what she had done before falling asleep.

He was acting like a hooligan due to being drunk, and now that he is sober, he feels very embarrassed.

Just when she didn't know how to face him, Qin Xuan's voice rang in her ears, "Your Highness is awake?"

The eldest princess wanted to continue pretending to be asleep, but she couldn't do it anymore and slowly opened her eyes.

Meeting the young man's clear gaze, she calmly asked, "You haven't left yet?"

Qin Xuan glanced at her and moved his arm that was held down by her, "Yeah."

The princess then realized that his arm was under her head and immediately sat up, "You can wake me up."

"I don't have anything to do. You can wait for Your Highness to wake up." Qin Xuan said gently.

The eldest princess raised her hand to tuck her messy hair behind her ears. Suddenly, she paused, quickly put her hand down, stood up, jumped to the ground, ran to the basin rack, and started washing her hands.

Seeing her actions, Qin Xuan was silent for a moment, and his ears felt hot.

The princess came back after washing her hands. She was a little afraid to look him in the eye, but thinking of her previous excessive behavior, she still explained, "I...drank too much today."

"It doesn't matter, you are my fiancée anyway." A smile flashed across Qin Xuan's black eyes.

The princess just felt that this sentence sounded familiar.

She suddenly remembered that she had used the fact that he was her fiancé to silence him.

So this guy was using what she said to block her.

She dug her toes into the ground in embarrassment.

At this moment, a shadow covered her eyes. As soon as she raised her head, she met the boy's dark eyes.

"You..." She was about to step back, but the other person's strong arms held her waist, "Your hair is messy."

"Ah?" The eldest princess was a little puzzled, and then she saw that there was a comb in his other hand, and then he raised his hand to help her comb her hair.

While he was in a daze, he heard the young man's gentle voice asking, "Your Highness, are you drinking alone? Are you worried about something?"

"It's Prince Ning..." After the princess blurted out these three words, she immediately came to her senses, closed her mouth, and glared at him unhappily.

This boy was actually trying to trick her.

Qin Xuan noticed her displeasure and smiled, "I don't have any other intentions, I just want to share your worries."

The eldest princess fell silent, her brows unconsciously furrowed.

Seeing that she was silent, Qin Xuan did not ask any more questions, but continued to help her comb her hair. Just when he thought she would not say anything, she spoke, "Qin Xuan, I am not actually the daughter of the Empress Dowager."

Qin Xuan was stunned and a little surprised.

He had never heard of this.

Ever since he could remember, he knew that she was born to the Empress Dowager and was a biological sister of the current Emperor from the same mother. The late Emperor had always doted on this eldest daughter.

After a pause, he asked in a low voice: "Did Prince Ning tell Your Highness?"

The princess shook her head, "No, my father told me this himself."

"Then what are you worried about, Your Highness?" Qin Xuan's voice was gentle.

The princess was silent for a moment before continuing, "Prince Ning said that my biological mother was just a concubine in the palace, but she was favored by the emperor. My mother was jealous and murdered her."

"So Your Highness believes what Prince Ning said?" Qin Xuan frowned.

The princess sighed, "In fact, I had heard some rumors about this matter long before my father passed away, but he did not allow me to investigate, and he also gave me some troops so that I could protect myself in the future.

Father's actions, combined with the news I received today, have made me suspicious of Mother."

"Your Highness, don't trust Prince Ning's words. He has evil intentions and may be doing this to sow discord between you and the emperor. If you trust me, I will help you investigate the matter of your biological mother." Qin Xuan said.

The princess was stunned. "Can you help me check?"

"Your Highness, do you agree?" Qin Xuan lowered his head and looked at her seriously.

The princess said with a complicated expression: "Why are you helping me? If it is true, I might seek revenge on the Queen Mother, and then involve the Duke's Mansion..."

"You are my fiancée." Qin Xuan interrupted her calmly and firmly, "And I believe that the person who killed your biological mother was not the Queen Mother."

"Why are you so sure?" the princess was surprised.

"If the Queen Mother was the enemy who killed your mother, why would she raise you and treat you like her own daughter? Over the years, no one has ever doubted that you are not her biological child."

The eldest princess was startled.

Yes, if the Queen Mother killed her biological mother, why was she so kind to her and treated her like her own daughter? Wasn't she afraid of raising a tiger to cause trouble?

Even though she was kept under his name out of consideration for his father's face, his father had passed away for so long, there was no need for her to put on a show anymore.

Concern leads to chaos.

Qin Xuan's words woke her up.

The eldest princess, who was originally upset, now calmed down.

She almost fell into Prince Ning's trap.

If she believed Prince Ning's words, she would go to seek revenge on her mother, or stand against her brother...

She couldn't imagine the consequences.

Her heart trembled, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she grabbed Qin Xuan's hand and said, "You are right, my mother would never kill my biological mother."

Qin Xuan felt relieved to see that she took his words to heart. Noticing the sweat on her forehead, he raised his sleeve and gently wiped it off for her.

The princess was stunned, "You..."

She wanted to say, don’t you mind it being dirty? But she saw the corners of his pretty lips curled up, and he suddenly hugged her in his arms.

Suddenly, a strange feeling came over her.

She couldn't help but raise her eyes and look carefully at the young man in front of her.

The immaturity between the boy's eyebrows and eyes had been replaced by maturity and stability at some point. His shoulders were so broad, his chest was so strong, and he was full of strength. (End of this chapter)
