IACF [QT] Chapter 77.1

The horse stepped directly into the palace. The people below stared at the King and Princess on the horse with their eyes wide open.

King Rui landed neatly on the ground, then reached out, and took the Princess off the horse, holding her horizontally in his arms.

The servants in the palace then remembered that they should come forward to serve, but King Rui did not give them a chance and directly carried the Princess to the backyard.

Su Yi lifted her veil, and her face under the veil was smiling. She stretched out her hand and scratched the chin of King Rui.

She said with a smile: “Your Majesty is so majestic.”

King Rui lowered his head, chased after her hand, took the slender white fingers in his mouth, and sucked them twice between his lips with his teeth.

Along the way, many people saw the King holding the Princess with her finger in his mouth, as if he would like to hold the Princess in his mouth if the situation allowed.

Back in the main courtyard, the toiletries were ready, and the servants tactfully retreated outside.

King Rui put Su Yi on the couch, kissed her on the lips, then walked aside, and quickly washed off the dust.

Su Yi lay on her side, propped up her head, and looked at him, her sock-clad feet swaying.

“You’re back earlier than I expected.” She said.

King Rui was wiping his face, so his voice was muffled by the towel. He uttered an ambiguous ‘Hmm’.

In fact, if he had traveled at a normal speed, the time spent on the road alone would have been more than the time spent in the past few days, not to mention working.

King Rui left on horseback at full speed and came back at lightning speed. Among his subordinates, except for the Old Seventh who was sent back in advance to report the news, the rest were still on the way.

He quickly cleaned himself up, changed into clean clothes, then moved closer to the couch, picked up Su Yi from above, and lay down himself, using himself as a cushion for her.

His body was hard and not very comfortable. Su Yi disliked it at first, but now she was getting used to it and even felt a little uncomfortable when he left.

She turned over and lay on King Rui’s chest, with her head against his chin, “Tell me what interesting things happened on the way.”

King Rui paused as he stroked her back.

For a person who didn’t like to talk, asking him to describe what he saw and heard along the way was purely embarrassing. It would be easier to force the Old Seventh to dance the colorful dance.

But it was the Princess who made this request, so no matter how difficult it was, King Rui had to speak.

So, Su Yi heard a boring and dull travelogue without any ups and downs, such as where he arrived today, who he met, when he left, and where he arrived next.

It was quite hypnotic. She had been tossing and turning before and didn’t want to fall asleep, but now, listening to the chanting-like voice beside her ears, she fell asleep in no time.

King Rui didn’t stop until he realized that she was completely asleep.

There was silence in the room for a while. The servant cautiously poked his head out to see if he could go in and put away the toiletries. But he saw the King holding the Princess’ chin with great care, gently kissing her forehead, then closing his eyes, and falling asleep with his arms around the Princess.

The leading maid waved her hand to the people behind her, signaling everyone to keep quiet and come in later.

The Emperor had received the news that King Rui had returned to the capital, but he waited and waited, but no one came to the palace to report.

After further inquiry, he found out that King Rui had returned to his palace and fell asleep with the princess in his arms.

His Majesty just threw the memorial out of habit but was not angry.

It seemed that this was a great improvement. Eunuch De Hai, who was squatting on the ground picking up the memorial, thought so.

Su Yi slept until dark before she woke up. It was very rare that when she woke up, King Rui was still sleeping.

Su Yi raised her head slightly to look at him. The dark circles under his eyes were enough to show that he was exhausted from the journey. Maybe he had not slept all night to rush back.

She stretched out her finger and touched the wrinkles between the other party’s eyebrows, but the person still didn’t wake up.

Su Yi stopped disturbing him, got up quietly, put on an outer robe, and walked out the door.

Qing Xing came over immediately, looked into the room, and asked in a low voice, “Are you hungry, Princess? Do you want to set up the meal?”

“Wait a little longer.” Su Yi shook her head.

Qing Xing said, “Just now on the street, the King suddenly flew up to the third floor and carried the Princess away. I was shocked.”

After returning to the palace, those maids who didn’t see it with their own eyes still pestered her and asked her to tell them about the scene at that time, but she only knew to scream at that time, so how could she remember anything?

However, after the King and the Princess left, the whole street was filled with people talking about it in excitement and amazement, like boiling water.

Qing Xing couldn’t help but puff out her chest with pride as she listened to the words of praise and envy from those people.

In the world, isn’t it only their princess who can be called stunning? And only a hero like the King is worthy of the Princess.

“When did you become so timid?” Su Yi asked with a smile.

Qing Xing pursed her lips and said, “It’s hard to say whether I am timid or the Princess is too brave. At that time, everyone in the private room was scared to death except me. If the Princess wants to do something like this next time, at least, let me know in advance to avoid scaring people again.”

Su Yi looked innocent: “I didn’t do anything, otherwise, you can raise this opinion with the King.”

Qing Xing was choked and speechless. If she dared to give her opinion to the King, would she still be frightened?
