Nanny Li hid behind a big tree not far away. It was dark and she squinted her eyes. She could only see a rough outline, just a back view.
She saw Shangguan Shu drink a sip of wine, then look down at the princess in his arms. The princess was quiet and didn't make any more noise. It seemed that the two of them were quite harmonious.
Nanny Li felt a little relieved, thinking that although Prince Meng Lang had gone too far in the past, he was, after all, a man of status from a prominent family, and would not do such a disrespectful thing!
Indeed, Shangguan Shu didn't do anything else. Didn't he just feed the wine to Zhao Ying and then let Zhao Ying drink it?
Isn't it just doing it again and again, and never getting tired of it?
This is such a big deal, I already have five children...
When the Peach Blossom Drunk was almost finished, Shangguan Shu shook the bottle with a reluctant look, put it down, then lowered his head, pressed his cheek against Zhao Ying affectionately, and murmured, "Ying'er, Ying'er..."
He really loves her, likes her so much...
The fragrance of flowers and wine filled the air, the spring night was slightly cool, and the night wind blew away his lust. At this moment, he simply liked her and instinctively wanted to be with her. Even if they just sat there until the end of time, it would be great.
Zhao Ying leaned on Shangguan Shu's shoulder, her eyes dull and her black pupils blinked from time to time, but they were out of focus. It seemed that she was really drunk.
Shangguan Shu followed her gaze up to the sky, where a crisscross of stars dotted the sky. He pointed to one and whispered, "This is Ji, one of the seven eastern constellations. It's also called Nanji. As the Book of Songs says, 'There's a dustpan in the south, but it can't be winnowed...'"
Shangguan Shu pointed at the stars in the sky and explained them to Zhao Ying one by one, not caring whether Zhao Ying listened or not. He just wanted to chat with Zhao Ying, and he would talk even if he had nothing to say!
Fortunately, he reads a lot of books and doesn't talk nonsense.
Suddenly, Zhao Ying raised her hand, pointed at the brightest star in the sky, and asked, "What star is this?"
Shangguan Shu was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic. Ying'er was not drunk to death, and she could still hear him talking!
"That's Ziwei Star, that's..."
Shangguan Shu looked up at the Purple Star in the sky. Suddenly, the smile on his lips stopped. Then, he frowned and put on a solemn expression.
Zhao Ying didn't respond.
Shangguan Shu pondered for a long moment, then said calmly, "That's the Emperor Star, the one surrounded by the Big Dipper. The dark one is your father, and the one next to him..."
Shangguan Shu paused, lowered his eyes, and fixed his gaze on Zhao Ying's face. His voice was even softer than the spring breeze, "If I'm not mistaken, that belongs to Zhao Xi."
Zhao Xi's Emperor Star is shining.
…
After Shangguan Shu finished speaking, Zhao Ying fell asleep.
Shangguan Shu carried her back to the dormitory.
There was a dim candlelight in the room. Shangguan Shu held Zhao Ying close to the bed. On the inside of the bed, Shangguan Qingyue was blowing bubbles from her mouth, with her hands raised in surrender, sleeping soundly. The quilt was kicked under her feet, and her belly rose and fell with her breathing. Shangguan Shu looked at her with a frown.
Shangguan Shu gently put Zhao Ying on the bed. The little guy might have felt his mother's breath, and rolled towards Zhao Ying in a daze, then buried his head in Zhao Ying's arms.
Shangguan Shu pulled up the quilt and covered the mother and daughter, and then... as usual, he opened the cabinet and made the bed on the floor.
When Nanny Li outside saw Shangguan Shu carrying Zhao Ying into the house and not coming out for a long time, she suddenly became anxious. She eavesdropped at the door for a long time, but didn't hear anything she shouldn't have heard, so she felt relieved.
If the prince really took advantage of her princess's drunkenness and wanted to do something inappropriate, it would be very embarrassing for her to go in this time.
But she probably wouldn't, because the little lady was still in there, and she would never do that in front of a child...
Since there is nothing like that, then you have to leave!
Nanny Li opened the door quietly and went in, intending to coax Shangguan Shu away. However, when she lifted the bead curtain, the scene she saw made her almost unable to control herself and scream out. When she came to her senses, she covered her mouth tightly and looked at the man on the ground in disbelief.
Shangguan Shu has excellent hearing, how could he not hear someone coming in?
He didn't care about losing face, stood up and looked at Nanny Li with a warning in his eyes.
Nanny Li nodded repeatedly at him and left in a hurry.
Shangguan Shu was very depressed. This damn slave, if she found out, she would definitely tell Zhao Ying, and then he wouldn't be able to come here secretly anymore!
No matter! He refused to admit it and saw what they could do to him!
Nanny Li closed the door, feeling a surge of bitterness in her heart.
Alas...it's so pitiful...
A dignified prince of a state, holding so much power, yet he was so humble as to secretly sleep on the floor...
No matter how jealous she is, she will still complain to the princess tomorrow!
Nanny Li held her head high and chest puffed out, snorted, and strode away.
The next morning.
Nanny Li had been waiting outside with her maids early in the morning, waiting for Zhao Ying to call for service. She thought to herself that when she saw the princess, she would tell her in vivid detail what she had seen yesterday!
However, she underestimated Shangguan Shu.
In the room, Shangguan Shu waited until dawn and did not leave. He lay flat on the ground with his eyes clear and a cunning look on his face.
Shangguan Shu closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep until he heard movement from the bed.
Zhao Ying patted the "big meat worm" of the cricket pupa in her arms in a daze, then opened her sleepy eyes. The scenes of last night instantly flooded into her mind. She was a little angry, but now was not the time to settle the score with Shangguan Shu. Besides, he was not here to settle the score.
"Mommy~" The little guy acted coquettishly in her arms. Zhao Ying coaxed him with a smile, then sat up. The next second, when she saw the person on the ground, the smile on Zhao Ying's mouth stopped abruptly.
"Shangguan Shu, why are you here?"
Shangguan Shu and Shangguan Qingyue were both awakened by Zhao Ying's shout. Shangguan Qingyue half-stood up and leaned on Zhao Ying's arm, his big eyes blinking as he looked at his father who was slowly waking up on the ground.
