Shen Dingzhu was stunned. She was not very angry. Xiao Langyan always spoke harshly. She only had her own purpose in mind and didn't care about anything else.
So she flattered the embroidery she had made in the past few days, which was a pair of velvet gloves, and presented it to Xiao Langyan with both hands.
Xiao Langyan's profile was cold, and his dark and frosty thin eyes were filled with a sense of distance.
"What's this?"
Shen Dingzhu lowered his head, his cheeks glowing with red clouds: "I remember that that night at Juema Temple, the old wound on the hand of the prince's sword practice was torn. I guess it was due to the cold in the winter. This was something that had not been done in the prince's palace before. I finished it after I went to my aunt's house, thinking I would give it to the prince if I had the chance."
Xiao Langyan didn't take anything from her, he just lowered his head and looked at her coldly.
After a moment, he opened his mouth and said harshly: "I don't want anything, I think it's dirty."
As soon as these words came out, the tears gathered in Shen Dingzhu's eyes suddenly dropped, and the hot tears fell on the back of his hand.
Xiao Langyan frowned and looked down, only to see that the beauty's eyes were red and she was crying silently, but the tears kept rolling down her face like broken beads.
He sneered: "Why are you crying? Who knows who you are doing it for, and you still want me to pick up things that others don't want?"
Shen Dingzhu raised his eyes with tears rolling down his face: "This is specially made for you."
Xiao Langyan refused to accept such flattery. The carriage happened to stop and arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion. He opened the curtain with one arm and said: "Leave it to your sweetheart!"
Regarding his inexplicable anger, Shen Dingzhu didn't know where it came from, but she slowly wiped away her tears, thinking that this life would be the same as before.
Xiao Langyan was a piece of ice that was cold both inside and outside. If she wanted to hold him tightly, she would have to endure all kinds of pain, but that didn't matter, as long as she achieved her goal, she didn't care about anything.
After Shen Dingzhu followed him into the palace, even the maid Zheng Erlan looked shocked. Unexpectedly, Shen Dingzhu was actually brought back by Xiao Langyan.
She quickly calmed down the expression on her face and stepped forward to take off Xiao Langyan's cloak. Shen Dingzhu stepped aside consciously.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Langyan looked back coldly and stared at her: "I didn't bring you back just to look good. Come here and serve me."
Shen Dingzhu could only walk over and take off the jade crown for him. She still remembered Xiao Langyan's habit of hanging the cloak on the screen and scenting it with cool bamboo silk fragrance.
Xiao Langyan watched her movements and lightly told Zheng Erlan: "Go and ask Xu Shou to give her an ultimatum. From now on, she will be a member of Prince Ning's Mansion."
Zheng Erlan asked hurriedly: "In what capacity do you enter the mansion? I hope you can explain clearly to Mr. Xu."
"Two rooms." After Xiao Langyan said that, he changed into his regular clothes and went to the study.
Not to mention how jealous and uncomfortable Zheng Erlan was. She had been serving in the palace since she was a child, waiting for Xiao Langyan to show her favor and take her into the room.
After waiting for several years, she was already eighteen years old. She thought that the prince's heart was always with the young lady from the Fu family. She thought she could not compare with her, and she did not want to compare with her. She could be satisfied as a concubine.
But, who would have thought that Shen Dingzhu would appear halfway!
Facing Zheng Erlan's hostility, Shen Dingzhu seemed not to notice and only asked: "Where do I live?"
"Of course it's the servant's room! Come with me." Zheng Erlan said angrily.
Shen Dingzhu did not move, only holding on to the door frame. Her figure was as delicate as a willow. She glanced at the yard playfully and pointed to the side room in the yard: "Take care of that place and I'll live in it."
Zheng Erlan frowned: "Not everyone can live in the prince's courtyard. Even if you have a common room, you are just a servant. How can you deserve to live here?"
Shen Dingzhu spoke slowly: "Since we are roommates, my duty is to warm the prince's bed and be there when he is called. It is inconvenient to live far away. If you can't handle this, then I will go to the prince and ask him to He found someone who could arrange it well.”
"You——!" Zheng Erlan bit her lower lip, feeling so angry that her heart ached. "It's so shameless. You show off to the public to warm the prince's bed. You are so unruly."
Shen Dingzhu ignored her, raised her skirt and chased in the direction of Xiao Langyan, calling: "Your Majesty~"
Zheng Erlan was afraid of being punished by Xiao Langyan, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop Shen Dingzhu: "Stop shouting, I will vacate this room for you."
Shen Dingzhu narrowed her eyes. There was no smile on her face. Her fair and pretty face was like a newly bloomed hibiscus: "Why don't you hurry up and do it?"
Then, he crossed his arms across his chest and leaned against the door to wait.
I saw Zheng Erlan calling two maids to move things out of the side house. Only after looking at it did I realize that Zheng Erlan had lived here before.
Probably thinking that those who are closer to the water come first, Xiao Langyan never said anything to her. Now he wants to make room for Shen Dingzhu, no wonder Zheng Erlan is reluctant.
That night, Shen Dingzhu saw that the time was up, took a bath and changed clothes consciously, wearing only a white undershirt, and climbed onto Xiao Langyan's bed holding the stove.
She had put tangerine peel in the hand stove before, and now it was burning with fragrance, making his bedding as warm as a spring day. But after waiting for a long time, Xiao Langyan didn't come back.
She wanted to cheer up, but half an hour later, at midnight, Xiao Langyan was nowhere to be seen, and Shen Dingzhu fell asleep on her own.
I don’t know how long it took, but a stern scolding came from my ears: “Who allowed you to sleep here, get out!”
Shen Dingzhu quickly opened her sleepy eyes. When she saw Xiao Langyan standing coldly beside the bed, she woke up from her dream and hurriedly got out of the bed and took away her hand stove.
"I came to warm the bed for the prince, but I fell asleep when I couldn't wait for you to come back. I'll leave now..."
Shen Dingzhu's exposed little feet looked even more gleaming white in the candlelight. Her slender waist was hidden under her white underwear, and her long hair was like fine brocade.
Before she had even taken two steps, Xiao Langyan held her shoulder down, and he easily threw her back onto the bed.
Shen Dingzhu fell into the blankets and groaned. When he got up and looked at Xiao Langyan with innocent eyes, he stepped forward and grabbed her chin, pushing his knee into the center of her leg.
"Why are you running, forgetting the rules I told you during the day? Waiting for you to change."
Shen Dingzhu quickly escaped from his arms, stood calmly on the ground, and obediently reached out to take off his robe and hair crown.
She dusted his clothes as usual, hung them on the screen, lit bamboo silk incense, and put them under the clothes for fumigation.
Suddenly, Xiao Langyan said: "You are always good at observing people's emotions. When did you know that I like to use bamboo silk incense?"
Shen Dingzhu adjusted his black boots for a moment. Xiao Langyan never likes to reveal his true preferences to others, so he likes Zhusixiang. It was also when she stayed by his side in the previous life and started to serve him, so he carefully observed it. learned.
It has become her habit to comply with his preferences. It is difficult to explain this.
Shen Dingzhu's slender waist was bent and took a while to straighten up.
"Does Your Majesty like the fragrance of bamboo silk? I don't know. It's just that this is the only spice on the table in this room. I picked it up." Shen Dingzhu said with his usual expression, spreading the quilt with his slender fingertips like white jade.
Xiao Langyan stared at her, his dark eyes showing no emotion.
After a moment, he said coldly: "You don't have to pretend to be weak in front of me. I saw how charming and unruly your temper is that night at Juema Temple."
At this time, Shen Dingzhu's cherry-red complexion finally showed a hint of embarrassment.
That night at Juema Temple, he was really in great physical condition...
