Chapter 154: Numbness
A good night's sleep.
When she woke up the next day, Shen Wan opened her eyes and found herself lying in Xie Jingyu's arms. She was stunned for a moment and then she remembered that she had really married him.
He hasn't woken up yet, his eyes are tightly closed. On his exquisite face, those eyes that are so deep that they sometimes frighten people are tightly closed. His eyelashes are long and his nose is high. God really loves this guy, giving him such a good family background and such a handsome face. He is successful in both literature and martial arts.
In all of Kyoto, perhaps only she, who had lived a second life, could barely compare with him, Chen Wan thought immodestly.
Noticing that he was showing signs of waking up, Shen Wan didn't want to let him know that she had been sleeping in his arms. She wanted to sit up, but she forgot that her arm was still held by him. She tried hard, but not only did she not get up, she was also pulled forward and kissed him on the cheek.
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
Xie Jingyu opened his eyes, a smile of joy appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Kissing your husband secretly so early in the morning?"
asshole!
Who kissed him secretly?!
Seeing that there was no sleepiness in his eyes, Shen Wan said angrily, "You woke up a long time ago, you are just pretending to be asleep!"
Xie Jingyu's eyes were full of smiles. "Is this arm pillow comfortable for sleeping?"
Shen Wan's ears flushed, "I still prefer my own pillow."
Xie Jingyu sat up and said, "How heartless! My arms are numb from pillowing them, and yet I still get despised."
He reached up and rubbed his arm.
Shen Wan said, “You can push mine away.”
She was asleep and didn't know it, but he had woken up a long time ago. He could have pushed her away but didn't. It was not her fault that his arm was numb.
But this guy really kept his word and didn't do anything to her. Shen Wan was about to get up when there was a knock on the door and a voice came, "Is the prince and princess awake yet?"
Xie Jingyu was about to call them in, but just as he opened his mouth, his voice was covered.
Shen Wan said, "Let them not come in yet."
After giving the instructions, Shen Wan let go.
Xie Jingyu looked at her. Shen Wan wanted to bite her finger, but she bit it twice and it didn't break. Xie Jingyu looked at her, "What are you going to do?"
Chen Wan took out the Yuanpa from under his buttocks and looked at Xie Jingyu eagerly, "I'm afraid of pain, can I bite you?"
Xie Jingyu, “…”
As expected, he has studied seriously and knows a lot.
But she couldn't easily fool the nanny beside her mother.
Xie Jingyu reached out and grabbed the Yuanpa and threw it directly behind the screen.
Then he rushed out the door and said, "Come in."
As the door creaked open, a woman about forty years old came in. She was Mother Zhao, who served Princess Jingbei, followed by two maids.
When she got closer, Xie Jingyu and Shen Wan had already gotten off the bed, and Shen Wan felt very guilty.
Mother Zhao stepped forward and saluted, "We need to serve tea today. We can't keep the elders waiting. The princess asked the prince and his wife to go early."
"knew."
Shanhu Yinchuan brought in a copper basin, and Chen Wan went to wash up.
Xie Jingyu was wearing a brocade robe while being helped by his maid. The maid went to look for the Fang Yuan handkerchief under the quilt, but she couldn't find it after searching over and over the quilt for a long time.
The maid turned around to look at Mother Zhao and whispered, "Yuan Pa is not here..."
How could he not be here?
She made it on the bed herself.
Mother Zhao looked for it again, but still couldn't find it.
The Yuanpa disappeared, and there was no trace of it on the bedding, so Mother Zhao asked Shen Wan, "Princess, where did the Yuanpa on the bed go?"
Shen Wan's hands trembled when he was asked, and before he could think of how to answer, Xie Jingyu said, "I put it away."
Shen Wan, “…”
Shen Wan's face flushed red.
Although it was completely false, what he said was enough to make people think about it.
As the prince of Jingbei, he would not accept a Yuanpa casually. It must be a Yuanpa worth keeping.
Mother Zhao was stunned at first, then smiled with understanding and said, "Then I will go and tell the princess."
Shen Wan, “…”
Is that enough?
I was bitten twice just now, and my fingers, which didn't break but were still painful, are crying out in injustice.
But this guy really has no shame at all...
After Mother Zhao and the two maids left, Shen Wan hurried to pick up the Fang Yuan handkerchief behind the screen and put it away.
After Chen Wan finished dressing up, the maid brought in breakfast. Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu sat down to eat together. Xie Jingyu picked up some food for Chen Wan. There were not only Shanhu and Yinchuan in the room, but also Xie Jingyu's two maids, so Chen Wan also picked up some food for him.
Not to mention the maid, even Chen Wan had the illusion that the two were newlyweds, and were in perfect harmony.
After breakfast, it was time to serve tea. After going out, Xie Jingyu stretched out his hand towards Shen Wan. Shen Wan was confused for a moment before realizing that he wanted to hold hands, and silently stretched out his hand.
Amid the envious gazes of the maids, Chen Wan was taken out of Zhaolanxuan by Xie Jingyu.
Chen Wan had been to Prince Jingbei's Mansion several times, but it was her first time entering Zhao Lanxuan yesterday. However, Chen Wan couldn't remember the last time she came to Prince Jingbei's Mansion. She had no memory of it anymore. There were carved beams and painted buildings, winding corridors, and a different scene with every step.
The Prince of Jingbei's Mansion is even more magnificent than the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. Its various layouts are both majestic and elegant, surpassing the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion.
She was just being led forward all the way, and the maids and old women passing by were looking at her. Shen Wan felt that her face was growing thicker and thicker. She forced herself not to break free because it would not do her any harm. The servants were used to serving people according to the dishes they had. She, the new princess consort, was favored by their prince, so the servants did not dare to bully her or the people she brought from Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Shen Wan suspected that Xie Jingyu was helping her, but she felt that she was overthinking it. After all, he did the same thing during the Lantern Festival.
Being peeped at by the servants, Chen Wan felt a little embarrassed. She was taken by Xie Jingyu to Yongchun Courtyard where the old lady of Jingbei Palace lived. As soon as she stepped into the house, she felt more than a dozen pairs of eyes falling on them. Chen Wan's already red face suddenly became even redder.
She tried to break free from Xie Jingyu's hand, but failed. Instead, Xie Jingyu pulled her forward a few steps.
Chen Wan was wearing a dress in the color of smoky clouds embroidered with orchids. Her slender waist was not thick enough to be held in one hand, and she looked dignified yet pretty. Xie Jingyu was wearing a brocade robe and had an upright posture. When the two of them walked in, they seemed to have walked out of a painting, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Xie Jingyu is already handsome enough, and Chen Wan's appearance is also one of the best in Kyoto. I can't imagine how good-looking the children they will have in the future will be.
Xie Jingyu brought Shen Wan forward and saluted the old lady.
The old lady smiled and said, "Serve me some tea."
The maid brought a futon and placed it in front of the old lady. Xie Jingyu then let go of Chen Wan's hand, and they both knelt down to serve tea to the old lady.
The old lady is not the biological mother of Prince Jingbei, but the old prince’s second wife.
The old lady drank tea and put an exquisite gold and jade bracelet on Chen Wan's wrist. The second lady saw it and said, "Why did the old lady give this bracelet to the Crown Prince's Consort as a meeting gift..."
The old lady patted Chen Wan's hand and said, "This bracelet was given to me by the old prince when he was young. I am old now, and it is not appropriate for me to wear it anymore. You can wear it every day and have children for my Jingbei Palace as soon as possible."
Chen Wan glanced at Xie Jingyu, hoping that he could help refuse, but Xie Jingyu said nothing. Since the elder's gift could not be refused, Chen Wan had no choice but to accept it.
"Thank you, Madam."
