When Fu Yuanxiao heard the news, she saw Tang Wanqing walking in with her skirt in hand, her manners were elegant and dignified. Every time she saw Tang Wanqing, she felt that women like Tang Wanqing were the real ladies.
Tang Wanqing slowly stepped forward and saluted, "Princess."
Fu Yuanxiao said: "Get up."
"Thank you, Princess." Tang Wanqing stood up slowly and raised her head to look at Fu Yuanxiao. She heard Huan Yu say early this morning that Xiao Ji spent the night in Chu Yuwanli last night, so she came over without even thinking about it.
Now when she saw Fu Yuanxiao's innocent and harmless face, she felt that she might have thought too much.
"How did the princess sleep last night?"
Fu Yuanxiao paused while biting the cake and recalled last night. She fell asleep not long after being held in Xiao Ji's arms and slept until she woke up naturally.
"fine."
Tang Wanqing saw that Fu Yuanxiao was in good spirits. Although she had not consummated her marriage with Xiao Ji, she had heard before she got married that the second day of consummation was not so relaxing.
"That's good." Tang Wanqing hesitated for a while and asked, "Why did the princess see the prince last time and why did she turn a blind eye? Is it because she was unhappy?"
Fu Yuanxiao nodded when he heard this, "Well, how do you know?"
Tang Wanqing said warmly: "The prince is busy every day and neglects the princess. If the princess is unhappy, I can go out with her."
"No need." Fu Yuanxiao declined bluntly, lowered his head and continued to eat the hibiscus cake in his hand.
Tang Wanqing was not surprised to be rejected. Every time she came to Chu Yuwan and chatted with Fu Yuanxiao for a while, she never saw Fu Yuanxiao looking for her.
The rumored Fu Yuanxiao is not so easy to get in touch with.
"Did the prince have breakfast in Chu Yuwan this morning?"
"No." Fu Yuanxiao paused here and raised her eyes to look at Tang Wanqing. Last night she asked Xiao Ji the reason for marrying Tang Wanqing. Xiao Ji didn't admit it, but she felt that they were inseparable.
Tang Wanqing was not relieved when she heard that nothing was wrong. She just wondered why Xiao Ji stayed in Fu Yuanxiao's room last night.
Tang Wanqing was not Fu Yuanxiao, and she always felt that it was not that simple for Xiao Ji to stay overnight in Chu Yuwan.
When a man and a woman lie on the same bed, nothing happens. In my mother's words, unless the man can't do it.
But seeing Fu Yuanxiao's innocent face, she really couldn't think about it.
But when he thought of Xiao Ji staying at Chu Yuwan, he couldn't help but think about this.
Although Fu Yuanxiao is stupid, she is also a famous beauty in the capital.
If he hadn't been stimulated when he was a child, someone from a family like Fu Yuanxiao would have been a candidate for marriage with all the noble men in the capital because of his talent and beauty.
Fu Yuanxiao finished the hibiscus cake in his hand and wiped his hands with a handkerchief. He looked at Tang Wanqing and asked bluntly: "You like the prince, right?"
Tang Wanqing was startled when she heard this. She didn't expect that Fu Yuanxiao, who didn't understand anything, would ask such a question. However, Fu Yuanxiao didn't understand anything, and his love might not be between a man and a woman in her eyes.
"I married the prince, so naturally I like him."
Fu Yuanxiao was not surprised when he heard this, and replied quietly, "You shouldn't like him."
Tang Wanqing was stunned when she heard Fu Yuanxiao's childlike words. She didn't know whether she was overthinking it or overthinking it, but she always felt that there was something in her words.
I came to Chu Yuwan today just because I wanted to inquire about Xiao Ji's stay.
"Princess, I'm leaving now."
Fu Yuanxiao looked at Tang Wanqing's leaving figure and knew that she was different from the concubines in the mansion. If he knew that Xiao Ji did not marry her because he liked her, but...
She didn't know what Tang Wanqing was thinking.
If it were her, she would definitely be sad.
Baozhu walked in with the meal and saw Fu Yuanxiao sitting there in a daze again. Could it be that the Tang concubine said something to the girl and made her unhappy?
"Girl, did Concubine Tang say something to you?" Baozhu walked in with a tray, placed the freshly cooked meals on the low table, and looked at Fu Yuanxiao worriedly.
"She didn't say anything." Fu Yuanxiao looked at the food in front of her, including her favorite crystal dumplings and xiaolongbao. She picked up a xiaolongbao with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth and took a bite. Lots of fillings and good taste.
Baozhu looked at the girl's sad look, feeling a little helpless, and said with relief: "Girl, the prince dotes on Concubine Tang very much, and the affairs in the palace are also left to Concubine Tang to handle, but the girl does not need to be sad, the prince still has the girl in his heart. Didn’t the prince come to stay overnight last night?”
When Fu Yuanxiao heard this, she raised her head and looked at Baozhu. Thinking of what happened last night, she blushed, "Who asked him to stay overnight?"
Fu Yuanxiao snorted, lowered his head and continued to eat the xiaolongbao in his hand.
When Baozhu heard the girl's childish words, he knew that the girl didn't understand anything, so he consoled her carefully: "Girl, you can't say that. If the prince doesn't come, it means that the girl has fallen out of favor. This is not a good thing."
Fu Yuanxiao puffed out his cheeks and said vaguely, "It's not a good thing that he's here."
Baozhu was a little helpless. The girl didn't know how to fight for favor. Without the prince's favor, life would not be so easy in the future.
After Tang Wanqing came out of Chu Yuwan, she originally went back to Jingshu Courtyard, but she walked to the study and looked at the closed study door from a distance.
"Why am I here?"
Huan Yu raised her head and looked at Tang Wanqing, "Does the girl want to find the prince?"
Tang Wanqing was stunned when she heard this. She wanted to see Xiao Ji and wanted to ask why Xiao Ji stayed in Chu Yuwan last night, so she couldn't help but come to the study.
Tang Wanqing clenched her handkerchief, hesitated for a while, and walked over.
Xu Yan saw Tang Wanqing and greeted her with a smile, "Concubine Tang."
Tang Wanqing glanced at the closed study and asked, "Mr. Xu, is the prince in the study?"
"Concubine Tang, the prince is inside. Does Concubine Tang have something to do with the prince?" Xu Yan glanced at the closed door and continued, "But the prince is busy. If Concubine Tang has anything to do, my subordinates can Convey it on your behalf.”
Tang Wanqing looked at the closed study door, wondering why it would be so troublesome to meet Xiao Ji.
But considering that Xiao Ji is a prince, it is normal for him to be busy with official duties.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at Xu Yan, "No, I'll come back later."
Xu Yan smiled and said, "I will inform the prince."
"Um."
Tang Wanqing glanced at the closed door and then left slowly.
Xu Yan looked at Tang Wanqing's leaving figure with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Xiao Ji was busy with the things at hand, and what happened last night kept popping up in his mind, making it impossible for him to calm down and deal with things.
I know clearly that I can't think about it and I will be distracted. As a result, I get deeper into it and have endless aftertaste.
The more I think about it, the drier my mouth becomes.
He picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth, took a sip, frowned, put down the teacup in his hand, and ordered: "Xu Yan."
Xu Yan opened the door and walked in, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Ji: "Change a cup of tea."
"It's your lord." Xu Yan paused for a while and said, "Your lord, Concubine Tang was here just now."
Xiao Ji's eyes paused when he heard this and asked, "What is she doing here?"
Xu Yan replied: "Tang's concubine didn't say anything, but she said she would come to see the prince later."
Xiao Ji said calmly: "I understand."
Xu Yan then turned around and exited.
After a while, Xu Yan came in with a new cup of tea and placed it on the desk.
Xiao Ji glanced at the tea cup on the table, lifted it to his mouth and took a sip. It was a little hot.
When it was time to turn on the lamp, Xiao Ji raised her head and looked out the window. At this time, Xiao'er should be having dinner.
All day today, Xiao'er's shy face was in my mind, and I couldn't get it out of my mind.
He looked away, stood up and was about to walk out when he saw Tang Wanqing walking in. She was holding a food box in her hand, which was self-evident.
"Wanqing, you're here."
Tang Wanqing walked in slowly with a food box in hand. The moment she saw Xiao Ji, a smile immediately appeared in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I personally cooked some dishes and I want to give him a try."
Xiao Ji glanced at the food box in her hand, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for your trouble."
There was a hint of shyness in Tang Wanqing's eyes, "There is no need to be polite between us." After saying this, she walked to the desk with the food box, opened the food box, took out the meals inside, and placed them one by one on the desk.
Xiao Ji sat down on the chair again and looked at the food placed on the table. The bowls were still steaming, and it was clear at a glance that they had just come out of the pot.
After Tang Wanqing placed the food, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Ji, her voice as gentle as her eyes: "Your Highness, please try it."
"Okay." Xiao Ji picked up the silver chopsticks placed in front of him, glanced at the food in front of him, picked up the bamboo shoots and put them into his mouth to chew slowly.
Tang Wanqing looked at him expectantly, "Your Majesty, how does it taste?"
Xiao Ji raised his head and praised without hesitation: "I didn't realize that you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you are also so good at cooking."
Tang Wanqing smiled when he heard this, "No way, I just know a little bit. If you like it, I will do it for you next time."
Xiao Ji still had a smile on his lips: "Just leave it to your servants to wash your hands and make soup. Your hands are used for calligraphy, painting and playing the piano."
Tang Wanqing looked down at her hands. Her father also said the same thing, saying that she should not waste time on cooking. Her hands were used to play the piano.
But she still insists on learning some cooking skills, hoping that in the future she can wash her hands and make soup for the people she likes.
"I don't do it often, besides." Tang Wanqing lowered her head shyly, "I want to cook for you."
Xiao Ji looked at Tang Wanqing calmly, knowing exactly what she was thinking.
"I understand your thoughts."
Xiao Ji picked up the vegetables and ate the food slowly.
Tang Wanqing looked at the way Xiao Ji was eating, his gestures and gestures were full of nobility. He didn't have to do anything, just sitting there would make people unable to take their eyes away.
She thought about what she saw last night and pursed her lips, "Why did the prince go to Chu Yuwan to stay overnight last night?"
Xiao Ji paused while chewing. Thinking of last night, his eyes darkened and the food in front of him became tasteless.
He slowly raised his head to look at Tang Wanqing and chuckled: "Why, are you jealous?"
Hearing this, Tang Wanqing lowered her eyes shyly and said coquettishly: "I don't know, I'm just confused. You don't like the princess, so you went to Chu Yuwan to stay overnight..."
After Tang Wanqing said this, she raised her eyes to Xiao Ji again, looking forward to his answer.
Xiao Ji said calmly: "She is just like a child. She is noisy all the time. I have no choice but to stay and comfort her. You don't have to think too much."
Tang Wanqing had no doubt after hearing this. Fu Yuanxiao was indeed like a child, ignorant and stupid.
"The princess may not be used to marrying into the prince's palace. The prince is as dependent on her as a family member in her eyes, so she pesters the prince. I think the princess is also a pitiful person."
"You're right. She treats me as a family member, so she relies on me for everything. Naturally, I have to take care of her more. It's hard for me to be so considerate of you. It's also my blessing."
What Xiao Ji said was so profound that it was difficult for anyone to doubt the truth of his words.
Tang Wanqing said softly: "This is what it should be. Husband and wife should understand and trust each other."
In Tang Wanqing's eyes, she and Xiao Ji liked each other. Even though she was not the princess, she and Xiao Ji were still husband and wife.
Hearing this, Xiao Ji suddenly remembered what Fu Yuanxiao said that couples should be honest with each other, but he kept everything secret from her, which made her unhappy.
He clenched the chopsticks in his hand. What should he say about the things he did? How to confess?
Xiao Ji never ate much, and she kept thinking about Fu Yuanxiao, so she stopped eating after one bowl of rice.
Tang Wanqing was packing the dishes and chopsticks while looking at Xiao Ji. She saw him elegantly wiping the corners of his mouth with a square handkerchief. He hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I recently learned a new piece of music. When Your Majesty is finished, go and relax." How about Shuyuan listening?"
How could Xiao Ji not understand what Tang Wanqing meant when he heard this?
"I'm afraid I will be busy tonight." Xiao Ji paused for a moment before saying, "Tomorrow, I will go to Jingshu Courtyard for lunch. How about you play it to me then?" "
Although Tang Wanqing felt a little disappointed when she heard this, her upbringing taught her that she should understand the general situation and be considerate.
"good."
In the dead of night, Xiao Ji came to Chu Yuwan under the moonlight. He stretched out his hand to push the door, but failed to push it open. He increased his strength and still failed to push it open.
He frowned, the door bolt was bolted inside.
It's Xiao'er.
A door can't stop him at all, it's easy to get in.
Xiao Ji stared at the closed door for a long time, then turned around and walked to the other side of the wall to the window. He held the window sill with one hand and easily turned over and jumped in. When he landed, his clothes flowed smoothly and made no sound.
After entering, Xiao Ji glanced at the door. Both door bolts were bolted.
He withdrew his gaze and came to the bedside. He opened the bed curtain with his slender fingers and his eyes fell on the sleeping person on the bed. He looked so peaceful and peaceful that he would never tire of it.
Xiao Ji stared at the sleeping person for a while, then sat down on the edge of the bed, lowered his eyes and looked at her sleeping face. His long fingers pushed away the strands of hair from her forehead, revealing her full forehead.
He glanced at the hand on his face. It was the same hand that helped him last night.
Although he held her hand and guided the whole process, it was always unforgettable for him.
All these things were on his mind today, making it impossible for him to calm down and do things.
I have lived for twenty years, with a pure heart and few desires, and I have never been distracted by this matter.
But the initiator knew nothing about this.
Xiao Ji stretched out his hand, covered it, and then held it. Compared with his hand, it was a whole length smaller, white and soft, one big and one small, very obvious.
Fu Yuanxiao slept late tonight. Not long after he fell asleep, he felt his hand being held, just like last night.
It was the first time in my life to experience such a thing, and I will never forget it even if I want to.
This would be held, jolting her out of her sleep.
Good night, babies!
