Chapter 174 Send You a Hundred Miles

There were many young men and scholars around him. After he realized what was happening, he immediately asked for his leave to Ling Chenyi and asked the other men to leave.

But I couldn't help but secretly look back several times to glance at the lake blue corner of the clothes.

After everyone had gone far away, Xiao Yuan and Ling Chenyi walked towards the lake pavilion and pulled out the two figures squatting there.

"Hua Sheng." Ling Chenyi stared at her with an unfriendly look.

In fact, it’s okay to peek at your future husband in your own house, but it’s a bit inappropriate to bring Shen Anan with you. Don’t you know that Xiao Yuan is most taboo about literati and scholars?

Hua Sheng tightly grasped Shen Anan's sleeve and smiled, "I just want to see what kind of person my mother and eldest brother chose for me."

Even if there is no feeling, one should still have an idea of ​​who is round and who is flat. Unfortunately, he was blocked by his fourth cousin just now. Not to mention Master Zhao, he didn't even see the faces of the other masters, only a piece of their clothes.

Ling Chenyi glared at her helplessly, pulled her behind him, and bowed to Shen Anan and said, “Hua Sheng was too playful and implicated his cousin’s wife.”

“…”Involved? Shen Anan hasn’t realized what it means yet.

Hua Sheng has always been very dull and rarely acts so unrestrained, so she is willing to join her in making trouble.

She raised her head slightly and met Xiao Yuan's unfriendly gaze. Then she realized what Ling Chenyi meant and said quickly, "Well...it's getting late, and I should leave too. I'll say goodbye now and we'll talk again when I come back."

Hua Sheng nodded reluctantly, "Cousin, don't forget to write to me, and be sure to come back early."

Shen Anan gave her a smile, looked at Xiao Yuan and said, "Let's go then."

"And me," Li Huaiyan said jokingly, pulling Xiao Yuan out.

Hua Sheng blinked and asked Ling Chenyi, "What's wrong with fourth cousin? Why does he look so bad?"

Ling Chenyi glared at her again, "You still said that Shen Anan is already a married woman, how can you bring her to see a man."

Still a group of scholars.

"So what's wrong?" Hua Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong. After getting married, did she not even tolerate men looking at her?

Ling Chenyi didn't know how to explain it to her, and finally just said, "He is in a very irritable state right now, and loves to make assumptions. He is too fragile and can't stand the slightest provocation."

Shen Anan also felt that it was nothing. If Xiao Yuan even cared about this, then he was too narrow-minded.

But what Xiao Yuan cared about was not this at all, but... "You have forgotten what I told you just now in the mansion, right?"

"..." He said so much in a rambling way, how could she remember it all, so she asked tentatively, "Which sentence did you say?"

Obviously noticing that Xiao Yuan's eyes were getting even more hostile, Shen Anan immediately withdrew his gaze and stopped talking.

Xiao Yuan felt a little angry.

He had warned her again and again not to talk to, touch or get close to men, but now, not even half a day had passed, she had forgotten everything.

There was nothing under his nose, and he was far beyond her reach in Jiangnan. Was she still so tactless?

Isn't it like letting yourself go completely like a cat on the loose? ! !

But saying this makes me seem a little petty.

He remained silent, but after a moment he felt that she was about to leave, and it was not worth it to continue to be sulking, so he simply reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"I said so much, but you didn't take any of it to heart."

He sighed softly. Well, at least Li Huaiyan and Qingfeng were watching her, so he could always know her movements.

Shen Anan didn't move, letting him hold her, thinking for a while, and then spoke softly.

"You should also be careful in the capital. The emperor has been balancing your power with Xiao Ze, allowing the two of you to restrain each other for so long. Now he suddenly lets the two of you fight against each other. I don't know what he is thinking."

"If the timing is right, you can use the affair between Xiao Ze and Duan Mengmeng to give you some breathing space. And Duan Yingying is a cruel and ruthless person, so you should be careful with her as well."

Although she used all her malice against Xiao Ze and Duan Mengmeng, it is still better to be cautious in everything.

Xiao Yuan hummed softly, "It's hard to believe that you still miss me."

Shen Anan was silent for a moment and said, "You and I are husband and wife now, we are on the same boat. Of course I hope you are well. Only when you are well can I be safe..."

Before she could finish her words, she felt a slight stinging pain on her earlobe. The next moment, her red lips were covered by his big hand, and the man's voice was a little gritted.

"You really are ruining the mood. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything. Just listen to me."

“…”

There was innocence in Shen Anan's eyes.

What she meant was that they would prosper together and suffer together, and she was just telling him that she and he were on the same front.

But to Xiao Yuan's ears, it was extremely unpleasant. Knowing that she couldn't say what he wanted to hear, Xiao Yuan simply hugged her and stopped talking.

As the carriage left the capital, Uncle Zhong, Chen Tian, ​​and Qingfeng were already waiting outside the city gate.

Xiao Yuan did not delay this time and took her to change carriages. Shen Anan was still wondering why he was so easy to talk to, when she found that the carriage slowly started to turn, and Xiao Yuan was still in the carriage.

"you……"

Xiao Yuan's voice was low and hoarse, "I'll take you to Langyue Lake."

Langyue Lake is more than fifty miles away from here, and it takes at least half a day to go back and forth.

"The Emperor will be leaving for Xiangjue Temple in the next two days. Will it be okay for you to leave the capital at this time?"

Xiao Yuan didn't care, "It's only one day, Ling Chenyi can handle it."

She suddenly thought of a new problem, "You used Wen Yin to plot against Meng Meng, the girl of destiny. You should be careful of the emperor and make sure he didn't find out anything during those days in Xiangjue Temple."

"Yes," Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Yuan," Shen Anan suddenly asked, "If the emperor wants to recuperate, he can go to the manor or many other places, but why did he choose Xiangjue Temple?"

She keenly felt that the royal family seemed to have some special feelings towards Xiangjue Temple.

"I don't know." Xiao Yuan paused for a moment and said, "Maybe it's just a whim. The higher the position, the more people believe in these things."

Shen Anan knew that he didn't want to say it, so he didn't continue asking.

The carriage hurriedly arrived at Langyue Lake before dark.

Langyue Lake is not just lake water, but the name was given because of the famous scenery of the area.

It used to be a place for scholars and literati to hang out, but now it is winter and even the most beautiful scenery has become bleak and desolate, with only the cold wind raging.

Xiao Yuan asked Qingfeng to find an inn next to Langyue Lake. Standing in front of the window, one could see the view of the lake. It was the most sought-after private room in spring, summer and autumn.

There is a thin layer of ice on the surface of the lake, which is crystal clear, especially when the soft light of the crescent moon is refracted in the center of the lake, it looks soft and dreamy.

It complements the two people snuggling together in front of the window.

Shen Anan didn't know whether the scenery was beautiful or not, but she was really tired after traveling for half a day. As she listened to Xiao Yuan talking, her head slowly began to feel dizzy.

By the time Xiao Yuan noticed something, she had already nodded her head on his arm, her almond-shaped eyes half closed and unable to open.

"Are you sleepy?" He was angry and helpless.

Shen Anan responded vaguely, changed into a comfortable position and leaned back to fall asleep completely.

Xiao Yuan stared at her eyes, and finally let out a heavy breath, not wanting to wake her up from her sleep, "You woman, you really don't understand romance at all."

He took some time to choose Langyue Lake, hoping to leave her with some good times before she left, so that she would remember him all the time during her absence.

Now everything has been in vain and I am so angry but I can't bear to vent it.

The bright moonlight in winter was very shallow, and refracted in the window frame, only vaguely illuminating her brow bone, her fair skin, and her gentle features, which had lost the sharpness that they had when they first met.

Xiao Yuan raised his hand and slowly stroked her face. After a while, he reluctantly picked her up by the waist and placed her on the bed. Hesitant for a long time, but considering that she had to travel the next day, he decided to be quiet and not make any more trouble.

Shen Anan felt that her ears had not rested that night, as if she had listened to mumbling for half the night, but she couldn't remember what she had heard specifically.

The next morning, she held her forehead and was stunned for a long time before slowly coming to her senses. The man was no longer beside her.

Mo Xiang came in to serve, and after she had washed and dressed, Shen Anan asked, "Where's he?"

"He said there was something going on in the capital, so the master left before dawn and asked me to take good care of the prince's wife."

"Yeah." Shen Anan nodded, still a little confused.

The situation in the court is very complicated now, and it really requires people, so he cannot leave.

But for some reason, I had a strange feeling in my heart, as if... I was lost.

She shook off the subtle thoughts and said to Mo Xiang, "Have Li Huaiyan and Qingfeng woke up?"

"They are all up. Chen Tian and Uncle Zhong are waiting for the princess downstairs."

"When you go out, if you change your name, it will be troublesome if others hear it."

"yes."

After packing up and going downstairs, the group had already had breakfast and were sitting in the lobby waiting for her. Shen Anan asked Mo Xiang to pack some cakes and immediately told them to hurry on their way.

Li Huaiyan was still a little tired, as if he was very sleepy. He yawned as he walked, "If I had known it would be so painful, I wouldn't have come."

It was a thankless job to rush on the road in the freezing cold wind and protect Shen An'an's safety.

Shen Anan glanced at him through the carriage and said, "Then why are you following."

She didn't want him to go because he always caused trouble for her when doing things, and she had to avoid him for some things.

As if he had come to life and found a way to get rid of his sleepiness, Li Huaiyan rode his horse slower and talked to Shen Anan next to the carriage.
