Chapter 361: Hard-mouthed
In a blink of an eye, another four days passed, and it was the day when Xie Jingxi married Du Xiner, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister.
The Jingbei Palace was decorated with lights and was extremely lively.
However, this bustle had nothing to do with Shen Wan. When Xie Jingze married Song Nanyue, the prince and princess were worried about the large number of guests and that someone would bump into Shen Wan, so they didn't let Shen Wan help greet the guests. Shen Wan was happy to have some peace and quiet.
A few days ago, her cousin Ye Caiwei got married. She did not return to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to send her off, nor did she go to the Zhou family for the wedding banquet. Since the second house was having a wedding, it was even less likely that Shen Wan would show up.
Zhaolanxuan was built in the heart of the palace, but it seemed to be isolated from the outside. The second house hung red silk and posted wedding characters everywhere. Even Jingyuxuan, which was uninhabited after Xie Jingze moved out, was hung with red silk. But there was not even a piece of red cloth in Zhaolanxuan, for fear that she and Xie Jingyu would be affected by Xie Jingxi and Du Xiner's happiness.
Chen Wan did not leave Zhaolanxuan, but those who were close to her would come to see her when they came to the Jingbei Palace for the wedding banquet.
As we walked along, we were filled with joy wherever we went. But when we entered Zhaolanxuan, we felt a little uncomfortable.
Although the bride was from the second branch, the wedding was held at the Jingbei Palace after all, so Shen Ji and the Yun family would definitely come to drink in the wedding wine. They both came to see Shen Wan, and the eldest wife of the Yun family also came. With the coming and going of groups, Zhaolanxuan became lively.
Shen Wan sent Shen Ji and Yun Shi out, and just then Wei Mingzhu, Ling Xue, Zhao Ru and others came over.
Ling Xue and Zhao Ru were talking and laughing, but Wei Mingzhu was in a bad mood and looked a little thinner.
Shen Wan felt strange, "It's only been a few days, how come you've lost so much weight?"
Wei Mingzhu's nose felt sore and she wanted to cry, "I feel like I've been possessed by evil spirits these past few days. Whenever I go out, I always run into that annoying guy. I just ran into him again!"
Disgusting...
She's not talking about the Prince of Yuzhang, right?
Shen Wan looked at Ling Xue, and Ling Xue whispered, "It's the Prince of Yuzhang."
Shen Wan, “…”
Well, considering that Prince Yuzhang showed no mercy to women, he deserved this nickname.
Shen Wan said, “There’s no need to get so angry.”
Wei Mingzhu didn't want to either, but when she met Prince Yuzhang, she couldn't contain her anger. Not only was she so angry that she couldn't eat, but she also thought about it day and night. For three consecutive nights, she dreamed of that bastard Prince Yuzhang, who either threw her into the lotus pond or threw her off a cliff.
She woke up from a nightmare at night, and couldn't sleep because of the pain in her chest. She couldn't tell her maid about it, so she was in a bad mood. The maid advised her to go out to the street to relax. Once she went out, she ran into the Prince of Yuzhang...
She likes shopping, and Prince Yuzhang is even more amazing. It's as if he lives on the street. You can run into him wherever you go. It's really weird.
In the past few days, she couldn't remember how many times she had met Prince Yuzhang. The two of them never said a word to each other. At most, they passed by each other and ignored each other.
However, everyone in Kyoto knew that she was thrown into the lotus pond by Prince Yuzhang. Whenever they saw the two of them at the same time, they would inevitably mention it. She was not a good-tempered person, and she couldn't help but get angry when she heard it.
Wei Mingzhu was planning to carry a brick with him when he went out in the future, so that he could always find a chance to hit Prince Yuzhang with the brick to repay him for saving his life.
Chen Wan didn't know how to comfort Wei Mingzhu. Fortunately, Zhao Ru and Ling Xue were there. Everyone talked and laughed, and Wei Mingzhu felt much better.
I haven't eaten well these past few days, and I've slept even worse. Wei Mingzhu isn't as energetic as before. Ling Xue, due to her hemophobia, is misunderstood as being weak and has few friends. Zhao Ru is only the daughter of a Hanlin Academy scholar, and her status isn't noble enough, so there aren't many ladies from wealthy families who are friends with her. The three of them simply played in Zhaolanxuan until they heard the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums from the front yard, and then they went to the front yard to watch the ceremony.
After paying homage to heaven and earth, the newlyweds are sent to the bridal chamber, and then everyone sits down and drinks the wedding wine.
Prince Yuzhang, Xie Jingyu, Chen Li, Prince Yong, Yun Yue and Prince Weiguo were at the same table.
Everyone was toasting each other, talking and laughing.
But there was one exception.
The Prince of Yuzhang kept drinking and didn't say a word for a long time.
Chen Li patted his shoulder and said curiously, "Something's wrong. Usually you have the most fun, but today I haven't heard you say a word while sitting here for a long time. Did you leave in a hurry and leave your mouth at home?"
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
Xie Jingyu also felt that Prince Yuzhang was very abnormal.
The Prince of Yuzhang has a cheerful personality and plays best with Chu Yang, Zhao Ang and others, but in fact he can get along with anyone.
They have known each other for so many years, but this is the first time they see Prince Yuzhang so depressed.
The Prince of Yuzhang opened his mouth but didn't utter a single word. Finally, he raised his glass and said, "Today, we won't go home until we are drunk."
Something happened.
Absolutely something.
However, since Prince Yuzhang didn't say anything, they wouldn't ask too much. They would know what they needed to know.
Everyone continued to drink and play guessing games, having a great time.
The wedding banquet lasted for more than an hour before it ended. Xie Jingyu and the prince sent the guests out of the mansion and then returned to Zhaolanxuan.
Chen Wan was sitting on the swing in the yard. When she saw Xie Jingyu coming, she couldn't control herself. There was no way. The drunk Xie Jingyu walked towards her like a bowl of magic potion, and she couldn't control herself at all.
Shen Wan had not forgotten that she had asked Xie Jingyu to stay away from him after drinking. She held the swing tightly, determined to hold back.
Xie Jingyu saw all of Shen Wan's patience. He was about to come over, but he raised his eyebrows and went to the study.
Seeing him enter the study, Shen Wanxin felt empty, and her footsteps in the air fell to the ground.
But that's not where she wants to go.
The baby in my belly misses its daddy.
Shen Wan blushed as she went to the study. As soon as she entered, her waist was hugged. "Your husband thought you would endure it for a while..."
She spoke as if she was a female hooligan who couldn't control herself.
Shen Wan was stubborn and said, "I'm here to get the book!"
"real?"
It must be true!
Chen Wan pushed Xie Jingyu away, lingering on the alluring aroma of wine while walking towards the bookshelf.
Shen Wan was extremely annoyed in her heart. Why couldn't she help herself? Isn't this a slap in her face?
Shen Wan took a book and saw Xie Jingyu coming over. Shen Wan said, "Stay away from me."
I have no self-control to begin with, and he got so close to me. This bastard must have done it on purpose.
Xie Jingyu picked up two books and was about to leave. He carried Shen Wan to sit on the desk. Just as he was about to tease Shen Wan, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Brother Jingyu..."
When Shen Wan heard this, he quickly slid down from the desk.
She didn't want to be seen by Prince Yuzhang after being caught by Chu Yang.
The study door was not closed, and Prince Yuzhang walked in directly. Xie Jingyu said, "Didn't you leave?"
"I'm back again."
This is nonsense.
If he doesn't come back, why is he here?
Shen Wan said, "You guys talk."
When Chen Wan was about to leave, Prince Yuzhang said, "Sister-in-law, please stay and help me with some advice."
The word "sister-in-law" came out of his mouth, and Prince Yuzhang frowned. He was used to calling her that. She was his cousin, and how could a cousin call his cousin "sister-in-law"?
Xie Jingyu asked, "What do you want from me?"
Prince Yuzhang glanced at Xie Jingyu and turned to close the door.
Seeing his action, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu looked at each other, and then saw the Prince of Yuzhang came forward with a red face, stiff and silent for a long time.
Xie Jingyu was really curious, "What's so hard to say?"
Prince Yuzhang said in a low voice, and even with Xie Jingyu’s hearing, he couldn’t hear it clearly, let alone Shen Wan.
Xie Jingyu said, "If you can't say it, then don't say it."
That won’t work!
Prince Yuzhang made up his mind, his ears reddened, "Well, can you try to match me up with Miss Wei Si?"
Shen Wan, “…???”
Xie Jingyu, “……???”
