"What? You don't like the skill of combing your husband's hair?" Su Xian laughed.
Tang Shuwan gradually came back to her senses, stood up and walked to the dressing table, saying: "I am so happy that my husband can comb my hair by himself. How can I dare to doubt my husband's craftsmanship?"
With that said, Tang Shuwan raised her steps and was about to move forward.
"Wait a minute, ma'am!"
Su Xian screamed again, waving his hands forward with his fingers spread wide, while his facial expression was exaggerated, as if he had seen something extremely shocking.
Tang Shuwan immediately paused. The slightly raised foot also hovered in the air. She looked at Su Xian and asked curiously: "What's wrong, husband?"
"Madam, don't move. Listen to me first. There is something very important that Madam must know." Su Xian looked serious.
Tang Shuwan was infected and thought Su Xian was going to say something big, so she looked serious and said, "Husband, please tell me."
"Madam, the distance from here to the dressing table... is too far. How can I let you walk there in person? It would be bad if Madam is tired." Su Xian said seriously.
Tang Shuwan was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled: "But if I don't walk over, how can I dress up?"
Su Xian smiled and said, "It's simple. My husband will carry you over."
Just as he was talking, Su Xian took a half step forward, bent down and picked up Tang Shuwan.
Tang Shuwan laughed and yelled "Ah". She quickly hooked her hands around Su Xian's neck and adjusted her posture to make Su Xian's hug easier.
Su Xian weighed it casually, then walked towards the dressing table.
Although Tang Shuwan didn't know why Su Xian went crazy, she squeezed her shoulders and put on her shoes. Now she was still holding her while walking, and she would comb her hair later.
However, the sweetness in my heart is getting more and more thick, just like honey, and it can be silky.
This sweetness actually made her forget about the abnormal behavior of Su Xian...
She pressed her face against Su Xian's chest with a smile on her face. When she saw Su Xian weighing himself, she asked curiously: "Husband, am I heavy?"
"It's not heavy, not heavy at all. Madam is very light." Su Xian smiled.
His original intention was to praise Tang Shuwan. After all, in his understanding, women in later generations generally regard thinness as beauty.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Tang Shuwan's smile dropped slightly: "It seems that I need to eat more..."
Su Xian suddenly realized that the current trend is for women to be plump as beauty, because only plumpness can reflect the prosperity of the family.
sweat!
"Madam, you don't need to be too pushy. In fact, my husband prefers to be thinner. For example, Madam looks very good now." Su Xian said hurriedly.
"Is it true?" Tang Shuwan was greatly surprised. She hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice, "However, I found that my husband seems to particularly like...women like Sister Liu."
Su Xian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "So, Madam, you secretly drink papaya soup?"
"I don't have..." Tang Shuwan was really embarrassed to admit it.
"Madam, I don't understand. If you don't lose weight, how can you show... well, what about that kind of richness? Be thin where you should be thin, and don't be stingy where you should be rich."
Su Xian weighed the beauty in his arms again and said with a smile: "Just like Madam, if you drink papaya soup for a while, you can reach the ideal state that my husband said."
After hearing this, Tang Shuwan didn't gnaw, and slowly fell into deep thought...
After chatting for a few words, Su Xian had already walked to the dressing table.
He carefully placed Tang Shuwan on the stool in front of the dressing table and sat down.
Then he took out a concubine from the exquisite dowry and walked around behind Tang Shuwan. He did not comb his hair immediately, but leaned over and put his head to the side of Tang Shuwan's head. They rubbed their ears and temples together and looked at the pair of beauties in the bronze mirror.
"Madam, you are so beautiful that your husband is fascinated by you." Su Xian praised.
"My husband is even more handsome and martial, and I... love you endlessly!" Tang Shuwan said with a sweet smile.
"It's time to comb Madam's hair." Su Xian put his hands on Tang Shuwan's shoulders, patted her lightly, then straightened up, holding the comb in hand, and began to comb Tang Shuwan's hair.
Tang Shuwan's hair has been carefully maintained since she was a child. It is smooth and silky, with clear roots. The comb is done from top to bottom in one go, without any obstruction in between.
Su Xian combed his hair for a while and said:
"That girl Minglan has been combing Madam's hair all year round. I thought it was hard for her, but I didn't expect that her work is actually a kind of enjoyment."
"Enjoy it?" Tang Shuwan was a little confused.
"Yes, Madam's hair is so soft and combing it makes you feel happy. This is not just work, it's really a kind of enjoyment." Su Xian said with a smile.
Only then did Tang Shuwan understand that Su Xian was praising her hair in a different way!
Generally speaking, women all over the world love beauty, and recognition from the outside is an important part of it.
Su Xian's compliment made her secretly happy, and a beautiful curve appeared on the corner of her lips...
Looking at the man combing her hair in the bronze mirror, Tang Shuwan felt very warm and romantic. Coupled with Su Xian's shoulder-squeezing, shoe-wearing, and princess hug, the combination of multiple romances made her almost melt on the spot. !
Suddenly, as she felt extremely sweet in her heart, she remembered Minglan's words just now...
This made her have a little doubt——
She has been married to the Hou family for a long time, and she is very affectionate with Su Xian, but... if we talk about intimate actions such as squeezing shoulders and combing hair, today is really the first time!
My husband went to Haizhou and Nanchen and came back, why did he seem to be a completely different person?
"My husband, when you come back this time, do you have anything to say to me?" Tang Shuwan is a very smart woman. Looking back now, Su Xian's behavior just now is really too abnormal.
Even though she was carried away by the sweetness, she had to have unnecessary thoughts in her heart.
Su Xian paused slightly while combing his hair, but then quickly continued combing it down: "No, why does Madam ask this?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that after my husband came home from this trip... he was too kind to me!" Tang Shuwan thought for a while and decided to tell the truth.
"Madam is too worried. My husband just hasn't seen her for a long time, and he just wants to be intimate with her. Doesn't it mean that madam doesn't like it?" Su Xian asked back.
"No, I like it very much." Tang Shuwan smiled sweetly and added: "It's just that my husband is the prince of the dynasty after all, and he is responsible for the national economy and people's livelihood."
"I am afraid that... my husband is too obsessed with the love of his children, thus neglecting the important affairs of the court..."
"Silly girl."
Su Xian stopped combing his hair, put his hands gently on Tang Shuwan's shoulders, leaned down, rubbed her ears and temples, and said with a smile: "Family affairs do not conflict with state affairs. If your husband cannot manage the family well, how can we talk about state affairs?" "

"Don't worry, husband, as long as I have my concubine here, I will keep the palace in good order and will not distract you from housework." Tang Shuwan said hurriedly.
Su Xian threw the comb on the dressing table with a clatter, then hugged her tightly, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice:
"This is what your husband likes about you. If your husband likes you, shouldn't you show it?"
As she spoke, Su Xian kissed the side of her red face.
Tang Shuwan's heart almost melted. She really wished that time could stay at this moment forever...
Su Xian picked up the comb again and continued to comb her hair. After a while, Su Xian asked seemingly casually: "By the way, why did the letter Madam sent me only have the word 'reply soon' on it?"
After so long of preparation, this sentence finally came out.
It's so dangerous, Tang Shuwan is really too smart, even though she has been diligent for so long, she still almost noticed...
Of course, what he said to Tang Shuwan was true. He really liked Tang Shuwan's virtuous and capable nature. She managed the Hou Mansion in a tight and orderly manner, which really saved him a lot of effort.
But Su Xian still felt unsure.
If Tang Shuwan suddenly jumped up and accused him of having a private meeting with Zhang Meiniang and Chen Keyan in Nanchen, it would be a waste of effort and a headache.
After hearing this, Tang Shuwan's face straightened up and she said slowly: "My husband is going to Nanchen..."
"My husband's change of route to Nanchen was unexpected. It was entirely due to official business. My husband didn't see anyone and didn't do anything bad!" Su Xian explained hurriedly.
He even interrupted Tang Shuwan's words.
Tang Shuwan looked surprised and looked sideways at Su Xian: "Why are you so anxious, husband? I haven't even finished speaking yet."
Su Xian rubbed his eyebrows: "Madam, please tell me."
"Husband, it's really hard to go to Nanchen..." Tang Shuwan seemed to be considering her words, so she paused.
After hearing this, Su Xian couldn't help but froze in his eyes, with a look of disbelief on his face. He originally thought that Tang Shuwan was going to accuse him, but it turned out that he had worked hard!
Tang Shuwan sorted out her words and continued:
"I shouldn't have sent the letter, and asked my husband to reply quickly, just because... something big happened, and I felt vaguely scared, so I sent the letter."
"What's the big deal? Even the wife is scared?" Su Xian was a little puzzled, and at the same time he felt relieved. It seemed that his guess came true, and Zhou Wei guessed wrong.
Tang Shuwan turned her head, stared at Su Xian with her starry eyes, and said slowly: "This important event may not have much to do with the Hou Mansion, but it does have something to do with Princess Lanling."
"Related to Lan Ling?"
Su Xian was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but think of the pile of envelopes that only had the word "reply soon" written on them. One of them was sent by Lan Ling, but he didn't expect that this matter actually related to Lan Ling!
"That's right, but husband, don't worry too much. It's possible that I'm overthinking it." Tang Shuwan nodded.
Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "What happened to Princess Lanling?"
"Recruiting a son-in-law!" Tang Shuwan said briefly.
"Recruiting a son-in-law?!" Su Xian was surprised again. The two key words Lanling and recruiting a son-in-law are connected... Doesn't Princess Lanling want to recruit a son-in-law?
hiss!
Su Xian's heart, which had just been relieved, suddenly tightened again.
No!
Lan Ling is my forbidden love, she cannot marry anyone else... Su Xian thought harshly in his heart.
Since he cooperated with Princess Lanling, the relationship between the two has become increasingly ambiguous and unclear.
In front of outsiders, Princess Lanling, who was as pure and pure as a fairy, was with him in private... Well, Su Xian once thought that he would have Lanling to himself, and Lanling belonged to him!
As a result...Lanling wants to recruit a son-in-law?
No!
Su Xian said it was hard to accept, why did he want to recruit a son-in-law without any explanation?
Didn't Lan Ling reward him with parts of her body?
In anger, Su Xiancai secretly said in his heart, "Lan Ling is my forbidden love"...
But then he thought about it again, and Su Xian suddenly had a bold idea in his mind-could the son-in-law Lan Ling wanted to recruit be...him?
How else to explain the letter sent by Lanling?
And the short word "reply soon" on the letter.
Furthermore, Lan Ling and he were already deeply bound. They were grasshoppers on a rope. Before, Lan Ling had never shown the idea of getting married.
Even if you want to marry, you can only marry him...
"Although this matter is very involved, please don't worry, husband. There is a solution to everything. I believe in you!" Tang Shuwan said with an encouraging tone.
Su Xian came to his senses and smiled bitterly. Tang Shuwan probably noticed the various expressions on his face just now and thought he was worried about this matter.
With a thought in his mind, he grabbed Tang Shuwan's little hand: "Madam, tell me honestly, who is the son-in-law that Princess Lanling wants to recruit?"
"I don't know who I am..." Tang Shuwan replied.
"Madam, you don't know?" Su Xian was stunned.
"Yes, it depends on who Princess Lanling can recruit as her son-in-law."
"You still want to see someone else? What do you mean?"
"My husband is unaware of this. Princess Lanling and Her Majesty the Queen have unanimously decided to entrust the matter of recruiting a son-in-law to one person. That person will decide who can be Princess Lanling's husband."
"Is there another one?" Su Xian was surprised. Then he remembered the dispute in the court and immediately asked: "Could that person be... His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Su Xian's guess has some truth, because the prince has always been Lan Ling's elder brother.
Since ancient times, the eldest brother is the father, and it makes perfect sense for the prince to choose a son-in-law for Lanling.
In addition, there is another important reason. The prince must want to use this move to severely suppress Lan Ling... In other words, the essence of recruiting a son-in-law for Lan Ling is a power struggle!
If that's the case, then it's really going to be a bit troublesome...
Su Xian couldn't help but frown secretly and began to worry about the future.
Even if he can bear the pain and let go of his possessiveness towards Lan Ling, their future cooperation will inevitably be hindered, which is the most difficult thing to deal with!
"No."
Tang Shuwan suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Su Xian, her starry eyes twinkling, with deep doubts and confusion in her scorching eyes. She hesitated for a long time, and finally said:
"My husband guessed wrong. The person whom Princess Lanling and Her Majesty the Queen agreed to recruit as a son-in-law is not the prince, but... you, husband!"
"I!?"
Su Xian was shocked again.
stunned.
Lanling wants to recruit a son-in-law, and then appoints him to choose her son-in-law?
Why does this sound so ridiculous?
"Yes, you are my husband!"
The confusion on Tang Shuwan's face became more and more serious, but seeing Su Xian's stunned expression, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that her husband doesn't know either... She thought to herself.
After Su Xian was shocked, he immediately realized that the matter must not be as simple as it seemed on the surface, so he straightened his face, grabbed Tang Shuwan and asked:
"Madam, do you know the whole story of Princess Lanling's recruitment of a son-in-law? Also, why did the princess suddenly think of recruiting a son-in-law? Why did Her Majesty the Queen agree?"
