Chapter 63 Why I Can't Resist
The book "The Secret History of the Embroidered Couch" tells the story of Chen Wan, a daughter of a prominent family, who married Liu Dalang, a well-matched son of the prime minister's family, but by chance she fell in love with her younger brother-in-law Liu Erlang.
As fate would have it, the three of them lived a shameless life from then on.
Yang Manyan originally just flipped through the book out of curiosity, but he didn't expect that the book's wording and sentences were fresh and fluent, and the characters' emotions were delicate. He couldn't stop reading after just a few pages.
She was so fascinated by the scene that before she knew it, an hour had passed. After Xiao Yan finished her work and returned to the dormitory, she washed up but still couldn't find Yang Manyan, so she went to look for him.
Walking into the side room of the main hall, I saw a young girl sitting on a Huanghuali armchair with her chin propped up, her cheeks flushed, and she was reading a book attentively.
"Yuanyuan, why are you staying here alone?" Xiao Yan had a smile in his eyes and his gaze was gentle.
But when he saw the four big words "The Secret History of the Embroidered Casket" on the cover of the book, he paused, seeming a little shocked.
Yang Manyan was startled and subconsciously stood up, hiding the notebook behind his back, his face flushed.
Xiao Yan chuckled, walked up slowly and took Yang Manyan's hand, "It's late, go back and rest."
Yang Manyan nodded, too embarrassed to speak. The scarlet collared jacket she was wearing had narrow sleeves, so the notebook couldn't be stuffed into it.
Xiao Yan saw her embarrassment and said, "Don't be shy, I have also read these in private."
He thought that the secret play pictures prepared for him by the imperial court before his wedding might be similar to these books, so he just made up something.
Yang Manyan was shocked. How could such a well-behaved and polite Crown Prince secretly read these books?
No wonder he was so skilled and experienced on their wedding night. She had originally misunderstood that he had a concubine.
It was only later that she learned that before she entered the Eastern Palace, the prince had never had any maids serving him.
Xiao Yan's ears turned red, "Okay, let's go back to the bedroom first."
The two walked hand in hand through the corridor and returned to the bedroom behind the main hall. With the help of Xingyun Suyue, Yang Manyan took off her hairpins and bun, and washed and changed her clothes.
The lights in the room flickered, casting interlaced shadows. Xiao Yan sat on the edge of the bed waiting, his eyes falling on the storybook.
He was very interested in Yang Manyan's hobbies, and also wanted to find out why Yang Manyan could never resist his father.
After much hesitation, he finally opened the book "The Secret History of the Embroidered Couch" on the bedside table and quickly skimmed through the thin volume.
But the more he watched, the more his brows furrowed, and his face became as gloomy as water.
Is this a story about brothers sharing a wife?
Both Liu brothers have deep feelings for the heroine Shen Wan and have risked their lives to save her many times, but Shen Wan has been unable to make a choice between the two.
The three of them reluctantly agreed, and the Liu brothers suddenly realized that since they couldn't let go, they might as well live in harmony.
Xiao Yan's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but recall the scenes in his dream.
"Your Highness..." The girl walked out gracefully, the light dimly reflected on her body, and her long hair was shining with a faint luster.
Xiao Yan came back to his senses and immediately closed the storybook, looking a little uncomfortable, "I was just curious and took a look."
Yang Manyan pursed his lips, vaguely believing what he just said. It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really had such a little hobby in private...
The soft smoke gauze bed curtains were lowered, Yang Manyan climbed into the bed and lay down properly.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yan suddenly hugged the person in his arms and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of Chen Wan in the book?"
What he wanted to ask more was whether Yang Manyan longed for such an ending where she was surrounded by men on both sides. If she was unable to leave her father in the end, all his careful planning would be in vain.
Yang Manyan was slightly startled, and recalling the story in the book, she murmured softly, "I think Chen Wan is not fickle, but she has no choice."
In the book, Shen Wan's marriage to Liu Dalang was arranged by their parents and they fell in love with each other over time. However, she and Liu Erlang were truly like-minded and they appreciated each other.
In particular, the author's writing style is delicate, and the entanglement between the three people is written in an extremely lingering and sad way, which makes the bystanders unable to give up on any of them. Fortunately, there is a happy ending in the end.
Far away from the palace and completely immersed in the world of books, Yang Manyan completely forgot that he was in a similar situation.
Xiao Yan looked a little dazed, as if something was stuck in his throat.
Before this, he had never thought that Yang Manyan could accept brothers sharing a wife.
Although she was drunk last night, it makes sense that she speaks the truth after drinking. She said she wanted both, and I'm afraid she was telling the truth.
"Your Highness, do you think what I said is wrong?" Yang Manyan asked weakly, putting her arms around the man's neck in a flattering manner.
She didn't know that the words she just said were like a sharp knife cutting into her husband's heart.
At this moment, a group of people quietly entered Yuquan Mountain and headed straight for the palace halfway up the mountain.
