The carriage drove slowly, trying to keep it as stable and safe as possible. Ai Ai decided to go to the government office to pick someone up first, and then go buy honey.
Xiaowu was accompanying him, but he was indeed a little absent-minded.
"What are you thinking about?" Ai Ai observed her all the way.
"Ah?" Xiao Wu came back to his senses, raised his head, and quickly lowered it again, hesitating to speak, "No, I didn't think about anything..."
The flickering look in his eyes showed that he had something on his mind, but he was trying to hide it and not admit it.
Ai Ai smiled knowingly and said, "These past few nights, I seem to always see you going out at night..."
"!" Xiaowu straightened up instantly.
"Haha, don't be nervous. Look how scared you are. The whole Chen Palace knows about your secret meeting with Zhan Hu at night."
“——!”
And you said don't be nervous?!
This time, Xiaowu was so scared that he jumped up and hit his head on the roof of the carriage. He sat back in pain, holding his head and grimacing in pain.
Ai Ai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's not something shameful. Why are you scaring me like this? He's not married, and you're not married. Isn't it normal for you to be together?"
“…”
Ever since Prince Chen's wedding, Jing Yi and Yun Ying returned to the small town and stayed there temporarily. Zhan Hu naturally followed his master.
The small town was neither close nor far from Jiangnan. Almost every night, Zhanhu would ride his horse at full speed to Jiangnan City to look for Xiaowu.
Every time, I would bring her a gift.
It could be a little rabbit, a little fox, a bunch of flowers, or a rare wild fruit...
At first, Xiaowu was a little scared, fearing that the bearded man might be aggressive, but after getting along with him for a while, he found that he was brave and careful, and a very nice person.
When mentioning Zhan Hu, Xiao Wu blushed a little embarrassedly, slowly lowered his head, and whispered:
"Ai Ai, I... He is the right-hand man of the King of the Western Regions, I dare not marry him..."
Hearing this, Ai Ai shook her head in amusement: "If you two were really not suitable, the princess would have stopped you on the first night of your tryst."
What is a tryst!
It's obvious that she is very secretive every time she goes out!
"How did the princess know that I was secretly meeting Zhan Hu?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Not only the princess knows, but the prince, I, Wei Xi, Zi Ye, the housekeeper... everyone knows that Zhan Hu has a rough voice. Even though you were hiding in the haystack, what he said to you... cough cough!"
Within a radius of twenty meters, anyone with ears capable of hearing it can hear it!
Xiao Wu: “…”
It was like a bolt from the blue, hitting her, leaving her burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and she was completely stunned.
Oh my God!
Come on, let's throw a thunder and kill her!
It's so embarrassing!
She is too embarrassed to see anyone!
Crying!
Ai Ai couldn't stop smiling, and directly suggested that the two of them should stop hiding it and ask for permission from the prince tonight. The prince would definitely arrange a marriage for them.
Xiao Wu: “…”
Stop talking, let me be quiet, it's all because of Zhan Hu's loud voice, it's like he has a loud speaker installed, now everyone in the palace knows that they have secret meetings every night...
The carriage was moving steadily towards the government office, but no one knew where it was heading. Outside, there were a few scattered voices talking:
"This is really strange..."
"Who says it's not true? Prince Chen is so lucky, marry one and get one free."
"Haha! He married Princess Nanyuan and gave her a maid. Both the master and the servant were pregnant at the same time. I heard that it was Prince Chen's child! Prince Chen is not as infatuated as the legend says."
"That's right. How could a normal man love only one person in his life?"
"I heard that the master and servant serve King Chen together, and the three of them have fun every night. It's a two-pronged approach, and it feels so good!"
