A faint sense of loss passed through Prince Yan's heart.
At night, the Prince of Yan went to the Princess's place for dinner. Although he no longer had any feelings for his wife, he would occasionally give the princess the respect she deserved.
At the dinner table, the princess was still thinking about how to get rid of the old nanny and was absent-minded. The Prince of Yan and the Princess hardly communicated with each other throughout the entire meal. On the huge dinner table, the only sound was the cold clacking of bowls and chopsticks.
Prince Yan did not enjoy the meal very much, so naturally he did not stay overnight at the princess's place.
Tired from riding all the way, King Yan returned to his main house to rest. Although I was tired, I couldn't sleep.
The pillow he slept on was the mugwort pillow given by Shen Wei, which was fragrant and soft. He covered himself with a thin summer quilt, and the quilt cover was also made by Chen Wei using fine fabrics. The room was full of traces left by Chen Wei.
King Yan missed Chen Wei's soft and fragrant hands, her clear eyes, and even more her soft and delicate body...
Tomorrow, Chen Wei should come back from Luoyue Lake Villa. As the King of Yan thought about this, he slowly closed his eyes and had a relatively sound sleep.
Early the next morning, Prince Yan went to the East Palace to visit the Crown Prince. It was already afternoon when we returned to the palace. Prince Yan habitually looked under the eaves, but the eaves were empty and there was no familiar figure in sight.
Shen Wei hasn't come back yet.
Prince Yan called over the butler, Fugui, and frowned, "No news from the Luoyue Lake Villa yet?"
The rich butler smiled awkwardly: "My Lord, Princess Zhaoyang sent someone to deliver a message. The princess said that she was in a bad mood recently, so she asked Master Shen to stay in the other courtyard for a few more days."
Fugui was filled with sorrow.
There are many wives and concubines in the backyard of the prince's mansion, but only Master Shen of Liuli Pavilion can make the prince worry about her.
The King of Yan was furious: "This Zhaoyang is simply making a fuss!"
He was on a five-day journey, and the person he missed the most was Shen Wei. Zhaoyang was so good that he actually left Chen Wei in the Luoyue Lake Villa!
“Your Majesty, how about I go to Luoyue Lake and bring Master Shen back?” Fugui asked carefully.
Prince Yan was silent for a moment. His tiger guards were well-informed, and naturally Prince Yan knew about Zhaoyang's experience in the past few days.
After thinking about it, King Yan could only wave his sleeves and said reluctantly: "No need, let Weiwei stay with Zhaoyang for two more days."
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
Luoyue Lake, the blue sky, the white moon, and the rows of green lotus leaves. The princess's pleasure boat slowly glided across the water. Shen Wei sat on a rattan chair at the bow, accompanying Princess Zhaoyang in appreciating the lotus flowers.
The pain of a broken heart is the hardest to heal, and Zhaoyang has been in a bad mood these days.
Shen Wei took a sip of the sour citrate water and enjoyed the comfort of the lake breeze blowing on her face. She loves this kind of leisurely and comfortable life so much that when she retires in the future, she will buy a big pleasure boat and travel around the mountains and rivers every day.
The painted boat docked at the pier. As soon as Shen Wei and the princess got off the boat, Yun'er, the maid from the other courtyard, came running over to report, "Princess, the prince sent the rich steward to take Master Shen back to the palace."
Zhaoyang was as if facing a great enemy, and tightly held Shen Wei's arm: "No, Weiwei promised to accompany me to go fishing at night! Yun'er, go tell Fugui that Weiwei will stay with me for two more days. The scenery of the villa is beautiful, and it is most suitable for resting the baby and recuperating."
Yun'er: ...
Zhao Yang: "If you tell my second brother again, tell him that I have been crying every day recently, in great pain, and unable to sleep all night! Only with Chen Wei by my side can I feel at ease."
Yun'er: "...Yes."
Zhaoyang really likes Chen Wei now.
Whenever Zhaoyang encountered difficulties in her relationship, Shen Wei could always answer her questions and help her get out of the confusion of broken love.
In addition, Shen Wei can also arrange flowers, go fishing, grow vegetables, do makeup, and do beauty treatments, etc. Zhaoyang feels happy and comfortable when he gets along with Shen Wei every day.
Zhaoyang raised her chin: "If my second brother comes to snatch me away, I will report it to my mother!"
Yun'er had no choice but to convey the princess' words to the palace's wealthy steward.
After dark, Shen Wei and Zhao Yang went fishing by the lake and returned with a full load. Zhaoyang was lucky and caught a five-jin fish, and he laughed happily.
Zhaoyang originally thought that after completely letting go of Yan Yunting, her life would become dull and bleak. But now Zhaoyang understands that the sky is high and the earth is vast, and there are many new and interesting things that can bring her happiness.
She was better off without Yan Yunting.
Before going to bed, Zhao Yang said to Shen Wei in a beaming mood, "Wei Wei, cook fish soup tomorrow morning. This will be the first time for this princess to taste the fish she caught herself!"
Shen Wei nodded: "Good night, Princess."
Shen Wei returned to her room, removed her makeup, and exercised for half an hour before taking a bath and resting.
Cai Ping spread the newly changed thin bedding on the bed and asked, "Master, the prince has sent people to pick you up twice, but the princess is unwilling to let you go. Master, why don't you take the initiative to ask the princess to return to the palace?"
Cai Ping was worried that if the King of Yan failed to see Chen Wei, he would summon other concubines to sleep with him.
Shen Wei lay back on the bed and smiled: "No hurry."
When getting along with King Yan, Shen Wei needs to appropriately show her personality and uniqueness to highlight her presence.
Shen Wei is King Yan’s woman, not his servant. As soon as Prince Yan returned to the palace, Shen Wei immediately couldn't wait to serve him and ask about his well-being. This was too humble.
If Chen Wei only tried to please King Yan, obey him blindly, came when he was called and dismissed when he was dismissed, and stayed by his side all the time, King Yan would eventually feel bored and annoyed.
She also wanted to "leave" Prince Yan for a few days to let Prince Yan experience the feeling of being anxious.
Simply put, it means "playing hard to get". The longer the Prince of Yan couldn't see her, the more itchy he became, and the more interested he became.
"Have you finished the task assigned to you?" Shen Wei asked Cai Ping while lying on the bed.
Cai Ping smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Master. When the rich steward came this afternoon, I handed over the food box."
Chen Wei raised the corners of her lips: "Very good, it's getting late, Caiping, you should also rest early."
Caiping gently lowered the bed curtain, blew out the candles in the room, and left quietly.
Shen Wei fell asleep quickly, but Prince Yan in the palace tossed and turned in bed.
He sent Fugui to Luoyue Lake to pick someone up in the afternoon, but Zhaoyang sent him away with just a few words. Weiwei was thinking about him, so she made a bowl of lotus seed, corn and pork ribs soup and a box of lotus crisps and asked Fugui to send them back to the palace.
As Prince Yan drank the sweet pork rib soup and ate the crispy lotus cakes, he missed Shen Wei more and more.
...
Early the next morning, Shen Wei was woken up early by Zhao Yang. Zhaoyang asked the kitchen to make fresh sea bass and water shield soup, and tasted it with Shen Wei.
After breakfast, Shen Wei and Zhao Yang applied beauty masks and dyed their nails with flower juice.
The two of them became best friends, eating, drinking, and having fun together.
In the afternoon, Shen Wei and Zhao Yang had their fill and took a walk together along the beautiful Luoyue Lake. In the distance were green mountains and nearby was the rippling lake. Zhaoyang said excitedly, "Weiwei, the vegetables in my mansion are growing very well. Come to my mansion someday and we can pick vegetables together—"
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear horse neighing was heard.
A gorgeously decorated carriage was parked by the lake, with a black flag with the word "Yan" embroidered in gold hanging on the front of the carriage.
