Xie Wanyu smiled softly, "Don't worry, Princess, Wanyu will definitely be good to the prince."
"I really envy you." The imperial concubine showed a happy smile, "If he hadn't been the emperor back then, we might have been able to stay together forever."
In the eyes of the noble concubine, Xie Wanyu and Taishu Ai are in love. Moreover, Xie Wanyu behaves generously and can hold the late emperor's Buddhist beads. Her family background must be prominent, so the two of them will not be like her when they are together. Generally speaking, because of her low background, she could only settle down to the position of a noble concubine.
Xie Wanyu smiled shyly and looked at Taishu Ai.
Unexpectedly, his eyes were extremely soft, even mixed with a hint of sadness.
Such an expression made the smile on Xie Wanyu's face freeze. He reacted belatedly and looked at the noble concubine, "Mother concubine, this time I sent someone to bring some scriptures."
"That's great." The imperial concubine didn't fight or fight, she just passed the time by paying homage to the Buddha, and she felt more comfortable.
Xie Wanyu said, "Since your concubine likes Buddhist scriptures, when I have time, I will copy more for you. I have many unique copies at home."
Tai Shuyi nodded, "Concubine, she has a lot of unique books in her hands. You may have something to do in the future."
The imperial concubine smiled from ear to ear, "That relationship is so good, it makes me successful in life." She looked at Xie Wanyu, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her, "You are much prettier in person than in the portrait."
"Portrait?" Xie Wanyu looked confused.
Tai Shuqi was a little embarrassed, pretended to cough, and then said, "Mother, I remember you used to use cinnabar to copy Buddhist scriptures when you were a child. Do you still use it now?"
The topic was changed, and the imperial concubine ignored Xie Wanyu's question.
The mother and son talked about something else, but Xie Wanyu just had a smile on her face. By the end of her laugh, she felt that her cheeks were stiff.
Before leaving, the noble concubine pulled Xie Wanyu and said that Tai Shuqi didn't like to talk and asked her not to worry about it, and so on.
Xie Wanyu responded one by one, and then was helped by Tai Shuqi to get into the carriage.
Both of them pretended to be tired, but it had to be said that the imperial concubine was in a good mood, and the smile on her face never broke.
The carriage moved slowly.
Xie Wanyu put away the smile on her face, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"What? Are you tired?" Tai Shuyi asked.
Xie Wanyu hurriedly opened her eyes and saw Tai Shuqi's dark eyes staring at her. She smiled awkwardly, "No, I just didn't have dinner."
How dare she say she is tired.
Tai Shuqi paused for a moment, then opened the car curtain and said to the driver, "Go around from Xicheng."
"Yes." The coachman responded, raised his whip, and the horse ran even more happily.
The two were speechless for a moment.
After entering the city, the road became much smoother, and Xie Wanyu was no longer so tired. She couldn't help but ask, "Has the prince ever shown my portrait to the noble concubine?"
Tai Shuqi paused slightly, then shook his head, "No."
Xie Wanyu wanted to ask, but seeing that he had no intention of continuing to speak, she obediently shut her mouth.
Since Tai Shuyi never gave the noble concubine her portrait, where did the noble concubine see it?
She touched the fox fur on her body. Who was she pretending to be?
The carriage stopped slowly. Xie Wanyu could already smell the aroma of the food, and her stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Tai Shuqi looked at her deeply before getting off the carriage.
"My lord, my lord, long blessings." It was Xiao Jing's voice, and Xie Wanyu immediately felt her whole body tense up.
If Xiao Jing saw her in the carriage, she would probably be rewarded with three feet of white silk by the Xiao family even if she was not immersed in a pig cage.
Tai Shuyi's voice was very calm, "Master Hou, third brother, why are you here?"
"It's just two brothers who came here to have a drink." After King Jin finished speaking, he looked at Tai Shuqi with confusion, "You just returned to the court this morning. Instead of having a palace banquet in the palace, you came to a restaurant instead?"
"After all, you can't get used to eating palace banquets, and it's not like Third Brother doesn't know." Tai Shuzhen's voice was also a little tight. It would be easier to say if Xiao Jing was the only one, but King Jin was not as easy to deal with as Xiao Jing.
King Jin smiled and said, "That's true. We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, so why not eat something together."
Tai Shuyi smiled slightly and said, "No."
He always cherished words like gold, and King Jin was used to it. He was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.
Before anyone could react, he suddenly opened the car curtain!
Fortunately, Xie Wanyu was looking out of the car window, so Prince Jin only saw the side of her face. After she reacted, she hurriedly covered her cheeks with a handkerchief.
"Third brother!" Tai Shuqi's face turned cold and he hurriedly blocked the car curtain.
King Jin didn't care at all and laughed loudly, "Why do you smell the fragrance? It turns out that you are a hidden beauty in the golden house. Why don't you call me down and let your brother feast his eyes on you."
He has always liked beautiful women, and the profile of her face just now was enough to make him uneasy.
Tai Shuqi had long since suppressed his smile and said without any politeness, "Third brother's house is full of wives and concubines, so why would he care about this ordinary-looking woman?" Hearing what King Jin said, he knew that King Jin had not seen anything. , and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can't quite see it. This woman has a graceful figure, skin as good as snow, and her side face is absolutely stunning..." Prince Jin paused, "Brother Xiao, that woman looks a bit like your wife."
Xiao Jing was watching the excitement and was stunned for a moment when King Jin said this.
Tai Shuqi's eyes darkened, and he already put one hand on the edge of the car.
As for Xie Wanyu in the carriage, her hands were tightly clasped together, and her heart seemed to be beating out of her chest.
"My wife is recuperating in another hospital. Besides, she looks ordinary." Xiao Jing said with a smile.
"You are so blessed that you don't know how lucky you are. That woman in your family is not a mediocre person..." When talking about women, King Jin always had endless things to say.
But she was Xiao Jing's legitimate wife after all, so King Jin couldn't say much and stopped mid-sentence.
Tai Shuqi summoned the waiters in the shop and named a few dishes. Then he turned to King Jin and said, "Third brother, just keep eating. I'm going back."
"You are so warm and fragrant that you don't want to eat outside?" King Jin laughed loudly after saying this.
Tai Shuyi didn't say a word, turned around and got on the carriage.
Seeing that Xie Wanyu looked unhappy, he couldn't help but give her a reassuring look.
Unexpectedly, King Jin was already drunk, and he was holding the carriage door open to come up.
Taishu Ai reacted quickly and hurriedly took Xie Wanyu into his arms and buried her face in his chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, Xie Wanyu couldn't care less about blushing and just hoped that King Jin would get off the car as soon as possible.
As soon as King Jin came in, he saw Tai Shuqi holding a woman in his arms, so he got out of the carriage and said, "I can't delay his business. Let's go, Brother Xiao, to my house."
Listening to their voices gradually fading away, Xie Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurriedly pushed Tai Shuqi away and sat a little further away from him, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
"It's me who is rude." Tai Shuqi said calmly.
