Shen Wan slept until lunchtime before waking up, and when she did, she was alone in bed.
Yinshuang came in to help Shenwan get up. Shenwan didn't ask Xie Jingyan, but Yinshuang didn't need her to ask. She said directly, "The prince got up half an hour ago and is reading in the study right now."
She was exhausted after just one night of staying up with him. He suffered so much yesterday, didn't he need to get some rest?
I slept all morning and caught up on all my sleep.
Shen Wan got out of bed, and Yin Shuang combed her hair and washed her face. The maid brought lunch, and Xie Jingyan also returned.
Xie Jingyan pushed the wheelchair into the room, sent the maid away, and then stood up from the wheelchair.
He changed into a sky-blue brocade robe, embroidered with auspicious clouds in gold and silver threads, which made him look like a handsome and dignified man. She embroidered a belt around his waist, with a purse she embroidered hanging from it. When she saw the jade pendant, Shen Wan was stunned for a moment.
Xie Jingyan didn't wear the lotus jade pendant; he switched to one of slightly higher quality...
Didn't he always have that jade pendant with him?
Why aren't you wearing it anymore?
Thinking of Xie Jingyan's words about wanting to repay her with his body, is this guy serious?
Shen Wan was eating her meal while her mind was wandering. Xie Jingyan frowned as he watched her. "You're even daydreaming while eating. Aren't you afraid of choking?"
Shen Wan snapped out of her reverie and picked up some food for herself. Xie Jingyan asked, "What were you thinking about just now?"
Shen Wan shook her head. "It's nothing."
Continue eating.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Xie Jingyan didn't ask. He had gotten used to Shen Wan's habit of getting distracted all the time.
Just as Xie Jingyan finished eating and put down his chopsticks, Haitang came in and announced, "Your Highness, the Prince of Yanping's heir has arrived."
Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan and said, "Push me out."
Shen Wan obediently pushed Xie Jingyan out, and from a distance she saw the Prince of Yanping walking in. The Prince of Yanping was about the same age as Xie Jingyan and had a handsome appearance.
He walked over, bowed to Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan, and said regretfully, "I didn't expect Brother Jingyan to get married so soon. I went to my maternal grandfather's house to celebrate his birthday and missed your and your sister-in-law's wedding banquet."
He then bowed to Shen Wan, saying, "Greetings, sister-in-law."
Shen Wan returned the greeting, "Greetings, Prince Yanping."
Xie Jingyan looked at the Prince of Yanping and said, "Let's talk in the study."
Xie Jingyan and the Prince of Yanping went to the study, but Shen Wan did not follow.
Watching the Prince of Yanping push Xie Jingyan away, speaking in a relaxed tone, clearly indicating a very good relationship, Shen Wan frowned. In her previous life, she really didn't know that Xie Jingyan and the Prince of Yanping had such a good relationship. Thinking of what the Prince of Yanping had experienced in her previous life, Shen Wan's brows furrowed into a knot.
Once she could no longer see them, Shen Wan walked back into the house. To avoid overthinking, she picked up a book from the small table to pass the time.
She only had two pages left to read, and finished quickly. Xie Jingyan and the Prince of Yanping were in the study, so she didn't feel comfortable taking the book. She put the book down and instructed Yinshuang, "Bring me the embroidery hoop."
Yinshuang went over to get the embroidery basket, and Shenwan picked up the embroidery hoop. She then saw Xie Jingyan's lotus jade pendant inside the basket.
Shen Wan was stunned, and Yin Shuang asked in surprise, "How come the prince's jade pendant is in the embroidery basket?"
Shen Wan was also puzzled. Yin Shuang reached out to take it, but Shen Wan said, "Don't touch it."
Yinshuang's hand was almost touching the jade pendant when she heard Shen Wan's stop, so she quickly withdrew her hand and asked in surprise, "Why can't I touch it?"
Shen Wan said, "This jade pendant is the lifeblood of Prince Ling. If you clumsily break it, I can't protect you."
Silver Frost, "...???"
Yinshuang looked at Shen Wan blankly, "Wasn't this jade pendant a gift from the Princess to Prince Ling?"
Shen Wan looked at Yin Shuang, "You follow me around like glue, when have you ever seen me give the Prince of Ling a jade pendant?"
Yinshuang thought for a moment and realized there really wasn't any. "But Prince Ling said it was a gift from the Princess Consort."
Shen Wan said, "The Eighth Prince helped him, so it's not unreasonable for him to ask for a jade pendant. If he doesn't use me as an excuse, he won't be able to keep the jade pendant."
"In short, stay away from this jade pendant."
Shen Wan's words were not only a reminder to Yin Shuang, but also a reminder to herself.
It's already infuriating enough that the person you cherish most can't be with you; to touch their jade pendant is just asking for trouble.
But how did this jade pendant end up in her embroidery basket? Shen Wan couldn't figure it out.
Shen Wan's gaze lingered on the jade pendant for a while, becoming increasingly annoyed by it. When she realized that she had the terrible thought of smashing the pendant, she quickly picked up the embroidery hoop, calmed herself down, and began to carefully embroider the koi.
After the koi fish was finished, its lifelike appearance drew praise from Yinshuang and Haitang. Just then, the sound of a wheelchair rolling came from behind. Shen Wan looked up and saw Xie Jingyan pushing the wheelchair in.
Shen Wan put down the embroidery frame and said, "How did your jade pendant end up in my embroidery basket?"
Xie Jingyan said, "I put it there. The jade pendant's clasp is broken. Make me a new one."
She said that the reason he changed the jade pendant was because the pendant given to him by his sweetheart had broken and he couldn't wear it anymore, so he changed it.
He's really quite the romantic!
Shen Wan felt very unhappy and suffocated.
She glanced at the jade pendant and didn't notice that the tassel was broken. She picked it up and looked at it; it was just that two of the tassels had come loose.
Shen Wan picked up the scissors, cut off the two tassels, and casually handed them to Xie Jingyan, saying, "All done."
Xie Jingyan's lips twitched slightly. "Couldn't you just give me a new one?"
"Not suitable."
Shen Wan's tone was harsh; if she hadn't been holding back, she would have thrown the jade pendant at him.
What was that bastard thinking?
His sweetheart gave him a jade pendant and asked her to make a knot for it. Wasn't he afraid that his sweetheart would find out and die of anger?
Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan blankly, "What's inappropriate?"
Even after being so bluntly reminded, he still doesn't realize that he's doing something wrong.
With such a good reason to go find your sweetheart, don't you know how to seize the opportunity?
Shen Wan wanted to remind him, but the words wouldn't come out. It seemed that she... didn't want him to see his sweetheart.
Xie Jingyan did not take the jade pendant. Shen Wan's hand was aching as she handed it to him. She said, "I'm not good at making knots. I'll have a maid make one for you."
How come she's not good at it anymore? He saw her making knots just a few days ago.
Xie Jingyan said, "As long as it's your work, I won't mind if it's ugly."
Shen Wan, "..."
He's so easy to talk to.
Even the usually easygoing Shen Wan felt a tickle in her teeth.
OK.
It's just making a knot!
He wasn't afraid of being seen by his sweetheart, so what was she afraid of?
Shen Wan put down the jade pendant and took out some thread from the embroidery basket. Xie Jingyan reached behind him and took out a brocade box, handing it to Shen Wan.
Shen Wan looked at him suspiciously, "This is...?"
Xie Jingyan's ears turned red. "It's for you."
Why should I give her something out of the blue?
However, Shen Wan was genuinely curious about what was inside the brocade box.
She reached out and took it, opened the brocade box, and saw a beautiful fan inside.
