Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei, whose eyes were still not fully open and who was staring at him in a daze, seemingly not yet fully awake.
"When did you go to bed last night?"
"Your Highness, when did you climb into bed last night?"
Both asked almost at the same time, each pausing in surprise.
"I went to bed quite early last night." Primarily because she spent the afternoon eating and drinking with Concubine Xu and Lady Tao, and wanted to sleep to digest the food.
Going to bed early should have been a happy thing, but Xiao Jinyan felt somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
He couldn't pinpoint exactly why.
"I, your consort, climbed into bed around the fourth watch of the night." This sentence was simply a response to Shen Chuwei's question.
Shen Chuwei calculated the time; the fourth watch was around two in the morning, "That's late, Your Highness should go to bed earlier. It would be troublesome if you ruin your health while you are still young."
