"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 85

 The next day, Ji Ling Xue was woken up by Xiao Yi Chen's voice, she suddenly opened her eyes to see Xiao Yi Chen was right in front of her, Ji Ling Xue's heart leapt, after making sure she had been sleeping on the couch, her nervous heart calmed down.

Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, "Why are you so scared of me being close?"

Ji Ling Xue didn't reply, she only stared into Xiao Yi Chen's earnest eyes, silence was the best answer.

Xiao Yi Chen turned around pushing open the door he left.

Ji Ling Xue breathed out, feeling the imperial calligraphy hidden on her, her gloomy mood disappeared.

The door opened with a squeak, Ji Ling Xue turned her head, seeing Xiao Yi Chen come in carrying a copper basin.

Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, this was the palace, what it didn't lack the most were palace maids, what was with Xiao Yi Chen, insisting on doing this himself?

Xiao Yi Chen knew what Ji Ling Xue was thinking, explaining: "The palace maids sent over to serve us are all spies, some belonging to the empress dowager, the emperor, do you want them to know we don't get along with each other, I slept on the bed and you slept on the couch?"

Ji Ling Xue made an understanding sound, the palace maids hadn't come, she could only fix her own hair. From inside the copper mirror, Ji Ling Xue watched Xiao Yi Chen tidy himself up, it seems he usually doesn't allow people to help him freshen up.

Ji Ling Xue: Xiao Yi Chen, it seems I don't understand you more and more...

Xiao Yi Chen wrung a cloth dry and walked to Ji Ling Xue's side, noticing she was lost in thought, he waved his hand in front of her face, "Were you peeping at this prince just now?"

Ji Ling Xue looked ahead, "No, I was just and directly looking."

Xiao Yi Chen smiled, passing the cloth to Ji Ling Xue, "This prince has already gotten used to dressing and washing myself."

Ji Ling Xue pointed at her own still messy hair, "Then what should I do?" Mo Xiang looked after her everyday needs, she had never brushed or styled her own hair.

Xiao Yi Chen tilted his head in deep thought for a while, walking behind Ji Ling Xue he said, "This prince will comb for you."

After a quarter of an hour, Ji Ling Xue left the side palace hall with a roughly braided pigtails, Xiao Yi Chen walked in front of her, thus Ji Ling Xue could not see the smile which appeared and disappeared on his face.

The empress dowager woke up early today, maybe because she was thinking about Ji Ling Xue's and Xiao Yi Chen's progress yesterday night, she had very early sent a maid to go pay respect, the maid had returned to report, Xiao Yi Chen had sent them all away, walking back into the room carrying a copper basin himself.

When the empress dowager saw Xiao Yi Chen and Ji Ling Xue come in holding hands, a satisfactory smile appeared on her face.

After giving morning greetings to the empress dowager, Ji Ling Xue left the palace with Xiao Yi Chen under the shocked gazes of the palace maids.

Having just arrived back at the residence, Ji Ling Xue had wanted to lie down and take a nap, Xiao Yi Chen however called after her, "Let's eat breakfast together."

Ji Ling Xue raised her head to give Xiao Yi Chen an admonishing look, the words refusing were suddenly stuck in her throat, she lowered her head and silently followed Xiao Yi Chen to the reception pavilion.

In the reception pavilion, Ji Yu Qing and Zi Su had already been waiting earlier, seeing Xiao Yi Chen come over a bright smile appeared on their faces, welcoming him like flowers to the sun, when they saw Ji Ling Xue follow behind Xiao Yi Chen, the two were suspicious and confused, in the end they bowed their heads and covered their smiles.

JI Ling Xue kept her face calm, she had already been disgusted with the hairstyle Xiao Yi Chen had given her a hundred times over, she just had to be unable to comb her hair and could only bear with it.

Ji Yu Qing said: "Older sister, your hairstyle...ah, it's very strange..."

The comment didn't only target Ji Ling Xue, Xiao Yi Chen's face turned black, but it wasn't good to lash out, he wouldn't admit in front of everyone that he had helped a woman brush and style her hair, it would damage his prince's brilliance.
