Chapter 69: I will fulfill my wife's duties
Let’s talk about tomorrow’s things tomorrow. I have nothing to do today anyway.
Meng Mingshu waited for a long time before Xiao Yan came out of the bathroom, covered in thick water vapor.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Xiao Yan went to bed and held Meng Mingshu in his arms.
Sensing something strange, Meng Mingshu's body stiffened and her eyes widened slightly:
"Didn't you go take a shower? Why are you still..."
Xiao Yan smiled but said nothing, his eyes deep.
Meng Mingshu couldn't help but tremble. She felt as if she was being stared at by a hungry wolf.
And this hungry wolf was even more terrifying than she had imagined.
"How about... I help you?"
Meng Mingshu hesitated for a long time before finally making up her mind.
She still felt a little bit reluctant.
In their past and present lives, they only conceived Tuan'er once.
Xiao Yan, a hot-blooded man, was forced to become a eunuch because of her.
If it were another man, he would have been unable to tolerate her long ago.
As Meng Mingshu spoke, she supported herself with her arms and sat up, her long black hair falling in front of her chest.
Xiao Yan's eyes were deep: "How are you going to help?"
Meng Mingshu blushed and moved to the end of the bed, suppressing her shyness.
She held her hair, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and bent down to lower her head.
Xiao Yan's breathing stagnated, and the blood in his body seemed to boil.
The evil thoughts that had been suppressed with great difficulty were easily provoked by Meng Mingshu.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and finally reason prevailed.
"sleep!"
Xiao Yan stretched out his long arm, grabbed Meng Mingshu in his arms, and wrapped her up in a quilt.
"I don't need you to do this for me."
It’s not that Xiao Yan doesn’t want to.
He had thought about this kind of thing in his dreams countless times.
In reality, Xiao Yan still couldn't bear to let Meng Mingshu serve him like this.
Love for her outweighs instinctive desire.
Meng Mingshu was extremely ashamed. She had mustered up great courage, but was still rejected by Xiao Yan.
"Why don't you want to?"
She was wrapped tightly, with only her head exposed.
Meng Mingshu felt a little aggrieved. She thought Xiao Yan would be happy if she did this.
As a result, he was so cold.
"Ashu, I don't want you to do this."
"I don't want you to feel wronged."
Xiao Yan held her in his arms, his slightly muscular arms pressing against her chest.
Meng Mingshu blushed: "Then you just... did the same to me."
Xiao Yan shook his head and laughed: "I do this because I like it... I am willing to do it."
Meng Mingshu didn't say anything.
In fact, she was willing to do so.
"If I didn't see you feeling miserable, I wouldn't do this."
Meng Mingshu snorted softly: "It's a pity that some people don't appreciate it."
Xiao Yan hugged her tighter: "It's not that I don't appreciate it."
Seeing that Meng Mingshu still wanted to speak, Xiao Yan had to threaten her.
His rough big hands pressed her delicate lips and slid down to her neck and throat.
"If you want to talk normally tomorrow, don't tease me again."
"Otherwise you'll drive me crazy and you'll be the one who suffers."
Meng Mingshu was indeed obedient. She didn't dare to move and nestled in Xiao Yan's arms very obediently.
Xiao Yan had a smile in his eyes. He lowered his head and kissed her hair lovingly: "Be good, go to sleep. We have serious things to do tomorrow."
"What's going on?"
Meng Mingshu's extremely beautiful eyes stared at Xiao Yan eagerly.
Xiao Yan patted her butt with his big hand: "If you don't sleep now, you won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Meng Mingshu didn't dare move anymore and forced herself to close her eyes.
She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she felt sleepy even faster than she expected.
————
Early the next morning, Meng Mingshu was picked up by Xiao Yan. She vaguely felt Xiao Yan changing her clothes, washing her, and even combing her hair.
"Mother?"
When the maids in the East Palace saw this scene, shock flashed in their eyes.
I stood there, not knowing whether I should go up.
After all, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does are what these servants do.
"You go down."
Meng Mingshu has also slowly regained consciousness.
"I don't like this eyebrow shape."
Meng Mingshu directed: "I want a thinner one"
Xiao Yan nodded good-temperedly: "Okay."
He drew again for Meng Mingshu.
In the past four years, Xiao Yan had already become very skilled in doing these things.
"How about this?"
Xiao Yan placed the bronze mirror in front of Meng Mingshu.
Meng Mingshu held her face and admired it for a long time before nodding with satisfaction: "Not bad."
She stood on tiptoe and kissed Xiao Yan on the face: "Thank you, husband."
"Let's go."
When Xiao Yan took Meng Mingshu out of the inner courtyard, he saw Liu Zhongquan running towards them in a panic.
Xiao Yan's expression turned colder: "What happened?"
Liu Zhongquan knelt on the ground, his voice filled with trepidation: "Your Highness, there is an imperial decree from His Majesty."
Xiao Yan took Meng Mingshu to the main courtyard, and together with the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, there was also Zhao Zhiyuan.
When she saw Zhao Zhiyuan, Meng Mingshu's beautiful eyes frowned.
I thought that after what happened in the Empress Dowager's Palace yesterday, Zhao Zhiyuan would behave himself for a while.
After all, any woman with a thin skin would not have pestered Xiao Yan any further after hearing his clear rejection yesterday.
I didn't expect Zhao Zhiyuan to come again today.
Her ability to endure is even greater than Meng Mingshu thought.
With such a thick face, if Zhao Zhiyuan were a man, coupled with her talent, he might be able to achieve success in his career.
But she is a woman.
The highest position one can compete for is the position of future queen.
Thinking of this, Meng Mingshu could understand why Zhao Zhiyuan appeared today.
As a woman, if Zhao Zhiyuan wanted to snatch something, it was not Meng Mingshu's husband.
Meng Mingshu might appreciate her.
Unfortunately, Zhao Zhiyuan became her enemy.
When dealing with enemies, Meng Mingshu does not distinguish between men and women, and will not show mercy.
Being soft on your enemies is hurting yourself.
"Why is Miss Zhao here?"
Meng Mingshu asked directly.
Zhao Zhiyuan, who was crying yesterday, stood there today and regained his usual demeanor.
"It was the Queen Mother and His Majesty who asked me to come to the East Palace."
Zhao Zhiyuan lowered his head and glanced at Xiao Yan cautiously after he finished speaking.
Meng Mingshu sneered in her heart.
In front of Xiao Yan, Zhao Zhiyuan always pretended to be pitiful and weak like a little rabbit, as if she posed no threat at all.
Just when Meng Mingshu was about to speak, Zhao Zhiyuan dropped a bombshell.
"Your Majesty has announced to the world that I will be your Crown Princess."
Xiao Yan's hand paused as he was about to open the imperial edict.
Zhao Zhiyuan knelt on the ground, revealing her snow-white neck. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yan devoutly.
"Your Highness, I am now your wife.
Please give me a chance, I will do my duty as a wife in the future."
"I will take good care of Sister Meng. Your Highness loves me, and I will never let Sister Meng suffer any injustice."
