He was really too good to her. Now that he was pampering her like this, she was still going after him!
Do you still think he's too scheming and calculating?!
Wanruo immediately shook her head: "No!"
He did not stop, with a sneer on his lips: "Really?"
She shuddered at the sinister aura and took two steps back. He approached her again, his dark eyes poised to strike.
Wanruo took two steps back, and suddenly her knee hit the chair, then she stumbled and fell onto the chair.
But this armchair has a hard surface, and if you sit on it suddenly, the wound will be pressed.
"ah!"
Wanruo gasped in pain, her little face wrinkled instantly.
Xie Xianyu's expression changed. He hurriedly helped her up and put her on the bed. "Did you bump into something? Does the wound hurt? Where did you bump into something?"
Wanruo actually only felt pain for a moment. Her injuries had mostly healed, so the collision only caused some pain. She secretly glanced at his expression, then frowned and buried half of her face in the soft pillow, saying, "It hurts."
He gently massaged her, his face sullen: "You're so clumsy when your wound hasn't healed yet. How long will it take to fully recover if you keep doing this?"
"Am I being clumsy?"
He was suddenly speechless. It was a rare occasion for him to be blocked in his speech, so he could only swallow his anger. Feeling suffocated, he rubbed her with less force.
Wanruo turned her head back, lay on the soft pillow, and faced him with the back of her head.
“…”
His eyebrows twitched. She was becoming more and more lawless!
Wan Ruo suddenly asked in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty is not in good health, why is he still going on a spring hunt?"
Your Majesty has issued a decree that this year's spring hunting will be held as usual, at the beginning of next month.
He said indifferently, "The worse your health, the more you must not show signs of fatigue. Otherwise, the court will surely lose its morale and various forces will be ready to make a move."
"But hasn't King Xuan already..."
"King Xuan is innocent, but the people behind him won't give up on him so easily. The interest group headed by the Queen's clan, the Nian family, won't let him go so easily."
Wan Ruo was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at him: "So you kept the thank you gift?"
There was a hint of hostility in his eyes, but his hands were still gentle: "You're like a grasshopper after autumn, you won't be able to jump for much longer."
-
The Lantern Festival and the Lantern Festival are the most lively days of the year in Yuhang.
The streets were bustling with people, jugglers, lanterns, fire dragons, loud gongs and drums, and a deafening roar of voices.
An eighteen-year-old boy, dressed in a plain white shirt, was keeping accounts in a bustling restaurant. His quietness was out of tune with the noisy environment.
Suddenly, fireworks exploded and the crowd cheered in surprise. He was attracted by the suddenly shining night sky and looked up at the sky outside the window.
Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night, illuminating the dark night, and his silent peach blossom eyes also lit up a few times.
When he was about to look away and continue working, he was caught off guard by the bustling crowd outside the window. A little girl in a red cloak stood in the middle of the street with a confused look on her face, turning around and looking for someone.
He hesitated for a moment, put down his work, and walked out.
"Are you lost?" he asked her.
There was some alertness and fear in her eyes: "I didn't."
"There are all kinds of people in this street, be careful not to get kidnapped."
She became even more frightened after hearing this, her eyes turning red. She couldn't help but take two steps closer to him: "I got separated from my family, and I don't know the way back."
When she goes out, she either takes a car or a sedan chair. How could she remember the way?
There were many people on the street today, and she was naturally afraid of being separated from her servants by accident.
He couldn't stand seeing girls cry: "Don't cry, where is your home? I'll take you back."
She choked up and said, "Chen Mansion in the west of the city."
The Chen family is a well-known wealthy family in Yuhang and is the most prominent family in the area.
A daughter of such a wealthy family would certainly attach the greatest importance to her reputation.
He thought for a moment, found a branch on the ground, and handed it to her: "Hold on tight, don't get lost."
She grabbed one end of the branch, and he pulled the other, leading her towards Chen's house in the west of the city.
He took big steps, and after walking for a while he found that the branch was getting heavier. He turned around to look at her, but saw that she was holding the branch with one hand, jogging along, her face flushed, and she kept wiping the tears from her face with the back of her other hand. She looked as miserable as a little cat.
He was stunned for a moment: "Why are you crying?"
Her eyes were filled with tears and she cried pitifully: "I'm a little scared."
Seeing her so helpless, he had never coaxed a girl before. He wanted to give himself a handkerchief, but he felt that it was against etiquette and seemed like a private gift.
But if I don't send her off, she will keep crying. Why is this girl so hard to comfort?
In a hurry, he suddenly saw the candied haws on the stall next to him, and immediately bought a string from the vendor and handed it to her.
She was stunned for a moment, and looked at him blankly with her tearful almond-shaped eyes.
"Here, eat it and don't cry anymore."
She wasn't hungry at all, nor did she particularly like eating candied haws, but somehow, she reached out her hand, took the candied haws, and then really stopped crying.
He held her hand through the branches, walking against the current through the bustling crowd. Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, the lights were brilliant, and the voices of the people were noisy. Her eyes were misty with tears, but she could only see him.
Suddenly the scene changed, and a bridal sedan chair carried by eight people, with ten beauties in red, passed through Zhuque Street. Officers and soldiers fired their guns, gongs and drums roared, and bustling crowds swarmed on both sides of the street, vying for the wedding hall and copper coins distributed by the palace maids.
