Chunhua's leaving the Princess's Mansion and entering the Prince of Jin's Mansion was just an extremely unimportant episode. Because the purpose of the person who planned this matter was not achieved, the plan without achieving the purpose was meaningless.
Nowadays, the most talked-about person among the scholars in Chang'an is still Yan Shangyan Suchen.
There is also gossip that Liu Xianggong wanted Yan Shang to enter the Secretariat directly, but Yan Shang refused because Yan Shang still wanted to try the October examination.
All the scholars were shocked, jealous, envious and regretful.
The Secretariat is such an important department of the imperial court! If you can enter the Secretariat, even if you can't become a prime minister in the future, you will have a bright future... The future that scholars have been striving for but can't get is easily rejected by Yan Shang. Even though Yan Shang's character is praised by others, this move makes people envious and jealous, and makes people feel complicated.
Not to mention the jealousy of the children from poor families, even the children from wealthy families could hardly hold back for a moment.
When Yan Shang's elegance spread throughout Chang'an City, Concubine Zhao Ling was practicing martial arts with a gun in her small martial arts arena at home.
Zhao Ye, the grandfather of the Zhao family, was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College of the current dynasty. The position of chief academic officer of the Imperial College was of high rank, but it was leisurely and noble, and it was an official position that civil officials envied very much.
However, this kind of official position without real power cannot be involved in real politics. For Zhao Gong, who has been trying to cling to power and want to make his family further, he dislikes this official position very much.
Mr. Zhao walked into his backyard with a gloomy face, and heard the sound of swords and guns from the small martial arts field. This made him even more headache - wanting power and not having it was a pain; as a scholar, having a daughter who liked fighting and killing was also a pain.
But today, when he heard the noise of Zhao Wuniang practicing martial arts at home, Mr. Zhao did not have a headache as usual when he mentioned his daughter. Instead, he seemed to be thinking about something.
Lord Zhao asked the servant beside him, "What has Wu Niang been doing recently? Has she gone out?"
The servant replied, "Most of the time my wife is practicing martial arts and reading. When she goes out occasionally, she just goes to the tavern to drink and listen to storytelling."
The servant said something extra: "My lady hasn't been in trouble recently."
Lord Zhao glared at the talkative servant: Can not causing trouble be considered a girl's advantage? !
Mr. Zhao flicked his sleeves and went to the place in his home that he liked least - the small martial arts field.
In the sunlight, he stood in the corner of the corridor and saw the petite girl in riding clothes. The sweat on her forehead shone like pearls in the sunlight.
Her eyes were bright and focused, and she held a spear in her hand, performing her martial arts with great force in the empty martial arts arena. Every time she swung her spear, there was a sound of wind breaking through the air, which made the servants watching tremble in their hearts.
However, this violent lady had a pretty and bright appearance. When she stopped, the maid dripped sweat for her, and she smiled carefree again.
Lord Zhao sighed.
I thought it was not easy for Wu Niang to get married. Besides my own reasons, it was also because my daughter was too strong in martial arts. If I had known this would happen, I would not have let Wu Niang always follow Yang Si when she was still young. What has a good girl become now?
Lord Zhao called out, "Spiritual Concubine!"
Concubine Zhao Ling was standing by the weapon rack, wiping her sweat. When she heard her father calling her, she turned around and saw someone. She was surprised. Because her father hated her martial arts practice, the two often quarreled about it. Even when returning to the inner house, Lord Zhao would rather take a long detour than pass by the small martial arts field.
Concubine Ling of Zhao ran over. Under the twitching gaze of Lord Zhao, the beautiful girl outside the corridor couldn't even walk properly. She gently held the railing outside the corridor with her hand, and jumped over with incredible agility and jumped into the corridor.
This jumping height and ability...not an ordinary man can do it, right?
Concubine Zhao Ling smiled and said, "Father, why did you come to see me today? Do you want me to look for a good husband again? I told you, I don't like any of the ones you picked!"
Lord Zhao got angry when he talked about this: "You are a girl who fights and kills all day long, and other good husbands don't like you! Who wouldn't be afraid of marrying you and being beaten half-crippled by you?"
Zhao Lingfei kicked the stones under her feet and said nonchalantly, "I am reasonable. I don't beat everyone I see. Why would I beat a good husband? Why would I beat someone who doesn't do bad things? Some husbands do a lot of bad things themselves, and still think I'm not gentle and virtuous enough... But there are also husbands in the world who are really bright as the moon and have the demeanor of a gentleman. I will only admire such husbands and won't beat them."
She was thinking of Yan Shang again, and there was a lot more melancholy in her words.
She blushed again.
Lord Zhao looked at her like this, paused and said, "That Yan Erlang, have you not visited him recently?"
Concubine Zhao Ling tilted her head and stared at her father with eyes like black grapes: "Don't you dislike me looking for him? Saying that he is poor and unworthy of us? I would have stopped looking for him a long time ago."
Mr. Zhao coughed.
Then he said solemnly: "I now realize that I am too narrow-minded. Yan Erlang is a great man. If you like him, how can you give up just because I say a few words to you?"
Of course, Concubine Zhao Lingfei did not give up just because of her father's two words.
She stared at Mr. Zhao for a long while, smiling, "Oh, I understand. You see that Second Brother Yan's reputation is spreading in Chang'an, and you know that even Mr. Liu admires him... You are anxious and think that such a person should be won over. So you thought of me, hoping that I can rely on our old relationship to win over Second Brother Yan, help you open up the situation in the officialdom, and help the Zhao family move to a higher level."
Hearing his daughter call Yan Shang "Second Brother Yan", Lord Zhao was pleased that his daughter and Yan Shang had a good relationship.
When he heard his daughter point out his true thoughts so pointedly, Lord Zhao couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
He said angrily: "I am doing this for the good of the family!"
Concubine Zhao Ling looked up at the sky and said disdainfully: "Ha!"
Lord Zhao: "Anyway, I agree to your marriage with Yan Erlang!"
Concubine Zhao Ling put her hands behind her back and said, "So what? I won't bother Brother Yan just because you like him!"
Lord Zhao: "... Is there something wrong with you, my little lady? Even when I locked you up, you still had the courage to cry out that you wanted to find your husband?"
Zhao Lingfei said: "It's not that I don't have courage. As long as Second Brother Yan likes me, I dare to go through fire and water. Even if Second Brother Yan doesn't like me, as long as I like him, I will have the courage to give him. But the problem now is that Second Brother Yan is busy with the exam, and there are too many people in Chang'an who want to make friends with him. He already has a lot of things to do, and I don't want to bother him anymore and make him worry.
"Besides, I am not worthy of Second Brother Yan at the moment. After I heard the storyteller talk about Second Brother Yan killing the head of the Zheng family, I realized that what Her Royal Highness the Princess said that day was right. After I heard what Second Brother Yan did, I admired him and was afraid of him. I admired him for being just an official, but he dared to kill people; I was afraid of him for making such a quick decision. If I were someone around him, what would I do if I couldn't understand and hated him and made trouble for him?"
Concubine Zhao Ling lowered her head and laughed at herself: "In short, I am not worthy to be with Brother Yan now. When I can understand him, if he is not married by then, I will go find him... I hope I can grow up soon, and I will understand him before Brother Yan gets married!"
Lord Zhao: “…”
He said, "You little girl, are you crazy? I don't know what nonsense you are talking about all day long!"
Zhao Lingfei waved her hands. Anyway, she and her father had never had the same ideas. They had been arguing for so many years, and they could not understand each other, so there was no need to say too much.
Zhao Lingfei: "Father, if you have nothing else to do, I will continue to practice martial arts! Tomorrow, my cousin Yang San and I have an appointment to play Cuju. Father, can you let my mother come over to watch?"
Lord Zhao: "What's so good about being covered in sweat? Girls should be demure and elegant!"
After saying that, he left angrily.
-----
In the evening, Yan Shang was in his room, applying medicine powder to Liu Wenzhi.
Liu Wenji sat there blankly for several hours, listened to Yan Shang's words, and went to wash up. Now Liu Wenji changed out of his clothes covered with mud, put on Yan Shang's old clothes, sat here with Yan Shang, and was in a daze for a long time.
Liu Wenji's eyes and mouth were bruised by the guards from the princess's mansion. When Yan Shang applied medicine to him, he didn't react at all, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.
Liu Wenji was undoubtedly a handsome young man, and even with the scars on his face, he only looked more pitiful and innocent. However, the bright and positive pride that Liu Wenji usually had was completely gone at this moment. He seemed to be covered with a layer of dust.
After Yan Shang packed up the medicine powder, he sat opposite him and whispered: "...Anyway, that's it. Chunhua was used as a pawn by someone, and she had no choice but to enter the Prince Jin's Mansion."
Liu Wenji lowered his eyes and said, "But she was pregnant before she entered the Prince of Jin's mansion. If she hadn't had this fetus, if she hadn't been pregnant with a royal heir, maybe there would have been room for maneuver."
Yan Shang was silent for a moment, and said, "What room for maneuver is there? Pregnant with the heir to the throne but wanting to secretly abort it is a capital crime. It's okay if it's not discovered... but who can guarantee that it won't be discovered for a lifetime? What's more, the princess told me that if Chunhua aborts this pregnancy, she may not be able to get pregnant next time. If a girl has no children of her own in her life, how many people can bear the strange looks she will suffer?
"How could you bear to let Chunhua go to that point? You are the only son in the family, you must have children. Even if you say now that you are willing to give up for Chunhua, will your father and mother agree? How will they view Chunhua? They will think that this witch has ruined the Liu family and will hate your wife.
"Chunhua has made her own choice, and you should accept it."
Liu Wenzhi covered his face, slowly bent over, and buried his face in his hands.
He choked up and said, "I understand, I understand everything! You, Yan Er, are so reasonable and you broke things down and analyzed them for me, how could I not understand... But who can compensate Chunhua and I for the love we have for each other? I just feel wronged and unwilling to give up.
"Unbeknownst to me, Chunhua was pregnant with the Prince of Jin's child. By the time I found out, the situation was irreversible. I skipped all the stages of being angry, unwilling, jealous... I just had to accept the ending that the girl I loved had to become the Prince's concubine. I was so, so... miserable."
Before I could say anything, I heard the crying of my long-time friend in my palm.
Liu Wenji's shoulders trembled, and Yan Shang silently patted his shoulders, sat with him, and comforted him with his company. Yan Shang was a person with strong empathy, and he could easily empathize with the plight of others, so when Liu Wenji cried with his face buried in his palms, Yan Shang also felt the heart-wrenching pain.
Yan Shang whispered: "Don't blame Chunhua."
Liu Wenzhi choked with sobs.
Yan Shang: "You live your life well, her leaving will be meaningful."
Liu Wenzhi's shoulders trembled even more violently.
Yan Shang was a little confused, and said slowly: "Now we are weak and powerless, and we can't do anything about it. Maybe when you enter the court and get an official position, there will be a way..."
Liu Wenji: "What can we do?"
He raised his face from his palms, his eyes were red and hot tears rolled down.
Liu Wenji was shaking: "You want me to endure it, afraid that I will do something stupid, you want to convince me that a gentleman's revenge is never too late? But Su Chen, a gentleman's revenge is never too late. But who should I take revenge on? This whole thing... is a vicious circle!"
His voice turned angry: "Should I seek revenge on the King of Qin who wants to take advantage of all this?
"Or should I seek revenge on Brother Chunhua who wanted to sell my sister?
"Or is it the Zheng family that forced Brother Chunhua to sell his farm?
“Or is it the King of Jin who took Chunhua by force?
"The Princess of Jin who forced Chunhua to enter the Prince of Jin's mansion?
"Or are you all watching this unfold coldly, knowing the truth but unable to do anything?"
Yan Shang was still dazed.
Seeing Liu Wenji trembling and standing up in the room, Liu Wenji looked at Yanshang sadly and disappointedly.
Liu Wenji said miserably: "Are there too many people I want to avenge? I am just a scholar. Do I have to challenge the entire imperial power to avenge myself? Are all the things they did just to humiliate Chunhua? Su Chen, do you know what is the saddest thing about this matter? Chunhua and I were sacrificed, but I knew nothing about it and Chunhua was powerless.
"We were sacrificed. But the whole thing, the whole thing... even Chunhua and I were the most meaningless part!
"Does the King of Qin care about us? Is all his planning just to deal with Chunhua and me? Does the King of Jin care about us? He just wants a maid who is pregnant with his child to enter his palace. He doesn't care about anything else. Whether it's Princess Danyang or the high and mighty Crown Prince... The significance of this matter to them is to rectify the powerful and restore order to the world."
Liu Wenzhi stood on the ground empty-handed, with his face downcast and tears falling.
He murmured, "We are the least important. You say, Su Chen, even if I want revenge, who should I take revenge on? I can't even find a direct reason."
The words are still quiet.
He stared at the miserable Liu Wenzhi, and for the first time, he realized the horror of politics through his good friend.
Politics is a monster. It changes everyone beyond recognition and makes everything impossible to do.
This horrible monster was devouring them...but the sad thing was that they were powerless to do anything.
-----
Half an hour later, Yan Shang took Liu Wenzhi to the princess's mansion next door to ask for an audience.
The first time Liu Wenzhi came to the princess's mansion, he was not to see Chunhua, but to pay a visit to the princess.
The princess's mansion was magnificent, brightly lit at night, and had its own lush scenery. However, Liu Wenji had no intention of appreciating it. He just followed Yan Shang in a daze, looking at his friend's tall and straight back, and listening to his friend's gentle voice greeting the people in the princess's mansion.
Mu Wanyao would naturally not meet anyone in the main hall at night. They entered the inner bedroom of the princess's mansion, and the maids asked Liu Wenji to wait here.
Yan Shang said to Liu Wenji gently: "Brother Liu, wait a moment. I will talk to His Highness and then His Highness will summon you."
Liu Wenzhi nodded indifferently, his eyes were empty and he didn't care about anything anymore.
Knowing that he had suffered a great blow today, Yan Shang sighed and said no more.
-----
The maid opened the curtain for Yan Shang, and Yan Shang entered the princess's bedroom.
It was said that Mu Wan was shaking her head because of a pain in the head. She had taken a nap in the afternoon and had just woken up. So she had to wait a while to see Liu Wenji. Mu Wan was in no mood to see anyone.
When Yan Shang went in, he saw Mu Wanyao sitting by the window writing.
The golden curtains fluttered in the wind, and the girl under the tent had her hair loosely tied up, with floating green and red hair.
Yan Shang stared at her white and slender fingers in surprise. It was the first time he saw Mu Wanyao writing. Usually, all written letters were given to people around her, and Mu Wanyao rarely wrote by herself.
Mu Wan shook his head coldly: "What are you looking at?"
Yan Shang came back to his senses and asked, "What is your highness writing?"
Mu Wanyao said indifferently: "Write a letter to a few court officials and ask them to attack the imperial concubine's recent behavior in the court."
Yan Shang was a little confused: "What does this mean?"
Mu Wanyao said succinctly: "The imperial concubine is the biological mother of my third brother, the Prince of Qin."
Yan Shang understood it immediately.
Mu Wanyao was seeking revenge for what King Qin had done before.
The King of Qin caused Mu Wanyao to suffer the loss of the Zheng family. Now that Mu Wanyao has free hands, he wants to borrow the imperial concubine and make the King of Qin pay for his own losses.
Staring at the princess's cold profile, Yan Shang thought of Liu Wenzhi's previous crying again... The monster of politics made Mu Wanyao become strange and distant in his sight.
Mu Wan tilted her head and looked at Yan Shang: "How is your hand?"
Yan Shang was stunned for a moment, remembering that Liu Wenji had bitten his hand and it bled. Yan Shang walked towards Mu Wanyao, raised his sleeve to let Mu Wanyao see his hand that had been medicated, and said, "Nothing."
Mu Wanyao frowned, took his hand and asked him to sit down: "What kind of medicine did you apply? It's too casual. Let me reapply it for you."
Yan Shang was pulled by her to sit down, and when he saw her asking the maid to fetch medicine, he smiled and felt that he had been wrong. Although politics was terrible, Mu Wanyao was still the little princess he knew, who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and the cutest thing.
-----
Mu Wan shook Yan Shang's hand and applied medicine to him while asking, "How was the question?"
Yan Shang paused.
Said: "Your Highness, the conversation between me and Brother Liu that you described seems to have ulterior motives."
Mu Wanyao raised her head and glanced at him, saying, "Is this the first day I met you, Yan Shang? You won't do anything useless. Even if you comfort your friends, you will definitely comfort them with something. Otherwise, I would have gone straight to see Liu Wenji, why would I let you take him away?"
She said lazily, "Tell me about it."
She casually held his hand and sprinkled some golden powder on the back of his hand, then lowered her head, put her lips against his hand, and blew gently to disperse the powder.
Her red lips almost touched his fingers...
That scene made Yan Shang's heart beat fast, and he quickly looked away to hide his momentary discomfort.
He coughed and said, "Chunhua had been communicating with Brother Liu before. After being taken away by Princess Jin, Chunhua planned to break up with Liu Wenji. So she wrote a letter at that time, laying the groundwork step by step. At first, she said that she had a minor cold and would be fine in two days. Then she said that she had been coughing and was afraid of infecting Brother Liu, so she asked Brother Liu not to go to see her. After that, the letters stopped. According to Brother Liu, he thought she was recuperating.
"But Brother Liu has always been worried about Chunhua's condition. So yesterday, His Highness returned home, and Liu Wenji came quietly today, wanting to check on Chunhua's condition. Unexpectedly, he saw Chunhua being taken away... So all this is a coincidence, not something someone did on purpose."
Mu Wan shook her head and said, "When I came back in the afternoon, I checked the princess's mansion and found no trace of an insider. I can only say... everyone has their own thoughts, and when they are put together, it is such a coincidence."
She was holding Yan Shang's hand and had already applied the medicine. She was so lost in thought about these things that she forgot to let go of Yan Shang's hand.
Yan Shang: “…”
He felt that his hands were going to turn red from her pulling.
He struggled slightly, and Mu Wanyao finally reacted and let go of his hand. Mu Wanyao was very calm, but Yan Shang felt a little disappointed. He looked at Mu Wanyao, and then at the table between him and the princess.
At such a long distance, Mu Wan acted in a businesslike manner... Yan Shang frowned, thinking that this shouldn't be the case between lovers, right?
When he was in Beili, he saw men and women laughing and being intimate. Even if proper lovers would not be so clingy and flirtatious, it seemed that they should not be like him and Mu Wanyao, as calm as a king and his subject, sitting on either side of a table, right?
While Yan Shang was daydreaming, Mu Wan shook his hand and held his chin, and said slowly: "Let's review this matter and see if you and I think the same thing."
Yan Shang came back to his senses: “Okay.”
Mu Wanyao: "In the beginning, it should be that the King of Qin knew that the King of Jin coveted the maid in my house, and took advantage of Zheng's arrogance and the King of Jin's love for Chunhua to start this matter. It would be easy for the King of Qin to know, as long as the third brother and the fifth brother had a few glasses of wine together, maybe the fifth brother would reveal something after being drunk, and the third brother would know. Or there may be other reasons... Anyway, it is not complicated to know this matter."
Yan Shang nodded.
Mu Wanyao said again: "Afterwards, I think that the fifth brother also took advantage of this matter. The fifth brother usually does not interfere in government affairs and watches the fight between the crown prince and the third brother from afar, but now I think that the fifth brother is not that stupid. The third brother used him, even if he didn't know at the beginning, he would know it later. But the fifth brother pretended not to know and followed the plan arranged by the third brother.
"Either the fifth brother took advantage of the situation and wanted to get rid of Chunhua. He could win over the Li family behind me and alienate the prince from me, which is not a bad thing. Or the third and fifth brothers teamed up from the beginning. Maybe they were afraid of the prince's nobleness, and they were worried about the father's health this year. The prince is now trying to please the father to build a garden in preparation for the end-of-year ceremony... They are afraid that the prince will be rewarded by the father, and that the position of crown prince must belong to the prince, so these two people teamed up."
After saying that, Mu Wan shook her head and looked at Yan Shang.
Yan Shang looked at Mu Wanyao with some approval.
He said: "The Prince of Qin's intervention was something everyone could have guessed. Your Highness was able to guess that the Prince of Jin was not innocent either. He has improved a lot compared to a few months ago. Your Highness's political sense is far from what it used to be."
Mu Wanyao blushed at his praise.
He coughed and said, "Perhaps the prince has also seen it. He is waiting for me to see what I will choose. If I choose to eliminate the powerful, I am afraid that the prince will be relieved. Because if I don't choose this way, he might take action... After all, he doesn't have enough background and doesn't want to offend the powerful easily. So he was satisfied when I took action. After that, he also added my aunt to the list of targets for suppression, probably for money.
"He wants to take this opportunity to fill up the Ministry of Revenue. Otherwise, he will be very annoyed if he has no money and has to make up for it here and there."
Yan Shang nodded. With the help of Mu Wanyao's analysis, he also figured out a lot of things, so he added a few more words.
The two of them discussed this and replayed the events, and for a moment they could not help sighing.
Mu Wanyao seemed to be thinking deeply, "I have always thought that Fifth Brother is not greedy for the throne, and he doesn't care who becomes the emperor... Fifth Brother looks like a victim in this matter, no matter who wins or loses in the end, Fifth Brother has no losses. Fifth Brother is so well-behaved, and he looks the same as usual... But if Fifth Brother really cooperates with Third Brother, that would be terrible. This shows that we have always underestimated Fifth Brother."
Yan Shang said: "We need to wait and see."
Mu Wan shook her head and said, "I will remind the prince."
Just as she was about to start writing the letter, she saw Yan Shang frowning slightly. That fleeting look was very subtle. Mu Wan shook her head and looked over: "What did you think of?"
Yan Shang looked at her and shook his head.
Across the table, Mu Wan shook off her embroidered shoes and kicked at his knee.
Yan Shang felt pain in his knee: "..."
His face was slightly red, and his knee was kicked by her jade foot. He was stiff and didn't know how to react. Mu Wanyao had already scolded him: "Just say what you want to say! Why do you have to be so reserved as a retainer?"
Yan Shang sighed: "I'm just afraid that I'm wrong and I have no evidence."
Mu Wanyao: "What does it have to do with you whether it's wrong or not? Your role is to help me find all the doubts. I will judge whether it's right or wrong."
Yan Shang had no choice but to tell his fleeting thought. He said slowly, "Your Highness, have you ever guessed that the smooth development of all these things is due to the tacit approval of His Majesty the Emperor? His Majesty wants to see your play, so that the play can go on?"
He said, "The reason I think so is because His Highness just said that Princess Luling once tried to see Your Majesty, but Your Majesty refused. This means... Your Majesty should know what you are doing."
Muwan was dazed.
She and Yan Shang looked at each other.
She said, "Could it be that my father was responsible for Zheng's fate at the beginning? Although Zheng obeyed me, as my mother's dowry, my father must have intervened. So did my father want to get rid of me, or just Zheng?"
The words are still silent.
Seeing Mu Wanyao's pale face, he comforted her, "It's just our guess. His Majesty didn't do anything, did he? He didn't even ask about the matter of Prince Jin being wounded by an arrow. Otherwise, if he did, Your Highness would also be blamed."
Mu Wan shook his head and thought about the past month he had spent with his father. His father was as kind as any other father in the world...but perhaps behind the scenes, his father was observing all of them and testing all of them.
Yan Shang stood up, walked to Mu Wanyao, bent down and placed his hand on her shoulder, and said softly: "Don't be sad, Your Highness. No matter what, I will accompany Your Highness."
Muwan shook stiffly.
He put his hand on her shoulder and stood in front of her. She didn't know whether to push him away or not. Should she rebuke him like a monarch for crossing the line, or acquiesce to his approach like a lover...
After a moment, Mu Wanyao seemed not to notice his hand on her shoulder. She stood up casually and rubbed her forehead.
Mu Wanyao complained, "It's so tiring to think so much."
Yan Shang smiled.
Mu Wan turned her shoulder, and Yan Shang's hand on her shoulder fell down.
Mu Wan shook her head and said, "You go out, I want to see Liu Wenji. Chunhua asked me to take care of Liu Wenji, although I don't like Liu Wenji very much... but, um, I still want to ask Liu Wenji what he thinks. If he is willing... I can get him a job now to compensate him."
Yan Shang said, "I'm afraid Brother Liu is not in the mood right now."
Mu Wan shook her head: "That's something I have to ask."
She stood up and was about to go out, intending to meet someone in the dormitory. Yan Shang held her hand, and she stiffened.
Yan Shang stood behind her and said, "I won't leave. I'll wait for you here, okay?"
Mu Wan shook: "..."
She pretended to be calm and said, "Why don't you leave? Shouldn't you go back to school? Be careful not to fail the exam and make a fool of yourself."
Yan Shang said: "I want to study here, Your Highness... Is that not possible?"
Mu Wan shook her head casually: "Just reading?"
Yan Shang: “…”
There was silence behind him, and Mu Wan shook his head.
She glanced at him, teasing and charming. Under the light, their eyes met for a moment, and they knew each other well.
Yan Shang blushed and looked away, but held her hand and did not let go.
Mu Wanyao blushed and snorted, "Whatever you want."
