Chapter 74: Just Sleeping for One Night
Xie Changsheng remained silent for a moment, then added, "What I mean is, will she stay in Ningguta for a long time? After all, a case can't be overturned in a day or two. If time passes, will she settle down there?"
Fu Danjun snorted coldly and said sourly, "Why don't you just issue an order not to give in?"
Xie Changsheng was talking to her seriously, but she responded sarcastically, "Are you jealous?"
Xie Changsheng pinched her nose, smiled evilly and asked, "I didn't satisfy you tonight. Are you unhappy?"
Fu Danjun smiled in agreement: "That's not the case, but Xu Yu has reached the age to get married, and the emperor can't delay her."
Xie Changsheng was increasingly puzzled: "Has she suffered any loss by being my woman? Why would she marry someone else?"
Fu Danjun smiled but did not answer, closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep.
Xie Changsheng pinched her nose: "Answer me."
Fu Danjun pushed his hand away and pretended to yawn: "She has the right to make her own choice. Are you trying to force her to marry you?"
This sentence left Xie Changsheng speechless, and seeing that Fu Danjun seemed really sleepy, he could only let it go.
In the end, he did nothing and simply held her in his arms and slept all night.
The next day, Fu Danjun opened his eyes and found that Xie Changsheng was gone.
It was incredible that he was so well behaved last night.
Could it be that he and Xu Yu had really indulged in excessive sexual activity? Fu Danjun was stunned for a long time.
Later, when she was getting ready, she found a note under her dressing table. It read: "Eastern Inn, West Room, Upstairs."
Fu Danjun understood it immediately with just this one sentence.
Xie Changsheng wanted me to go and accompany him, but how could I get around Wanyan Qi?
After the note was burned in front of the candle, Wanyan Qi came in: "Dan Jun, let's go have breakfast together."
Fu Danjun smiled happily: "I was just thinking of asking you out. I'll treat you to a nice meal at a restaurant today."
In an instant, Fu Danjun had an idea. After the meal, he asked Lan Fang to get some drowsiness medicine and mix it into the food when he and Wanyan Qi were eating.
Of course, it is a medicine that has no toxic side effects and is purely for making you sleepy.
Fu Danjun had no intention of poisoning Wanyan Qi, he just didn't want him to get involved in his affairs.
Finally, Wanyan Qi fell asleep yawning, and Fu Danjun came to find Xie Changsheng.
Xie Changsheng thought she would come at night, but he didn't expect her to come in broad daylight.
He couldn't help but tease: "Is it so urgent?"
Fu Danjun kept his hands behind his back and looked at him with a smile without saying a word.
Xie Changsheng's eyes paused. "What are you holding in your hand? So sneaky?"
Fu Danjun held a box of cakes in front of him and said with a smile, "Here, I bought them especially for you!"
Xie Changsheng pretended to be uninterested: "I was raised on imperial food, how could I care about this?"
Undeterred, Fu Danjun said, "Folk delicacies are more delicious than imperial cuisine. I saw you like sweet food, so I took a detour and picked this soft peony cake. Come and try it."
Xie Changsheng was very surprised because he had only eaten with Fu Danjun a few times, and she actually knew that he liked sweet food?
Fu Danjun had already opened the lid of the box and placed the fragrant peony cake in front of him.
Seeing that the peony cake was made to resemble a peony flower, with a sweet fragrance, Xie Changsheng couldn't help but praise it: "It looks pretty good."
Then he took a piece and took a couple of bites, nodding happily: "It's really delicious. The snacks in the palace are as hard as bricks."
Fu Danjun was very pleased to see him taking bite after bite.
Then, she poured him some tea herself and said, "I'll find a way to ask the pastry chef and learn how to make it. I'll make it for you someday."
Xie Changsheng drank his tea and asked curiously, "You're not going to Northern Xinjiang? Do you still have a chance to make snacks?"
Fu Danjun suddenly realized and said with a smile, "Oh, I forgot."
In an instant, Xie Changsheng's heart sank, and he became more and more suspicious that he had done something wrong.
However, there is no point in feeling bad now that things have come to this.
"come over!"
Xie Changsheng put down the tea and motioned Fu Danjun to come closer.
When Fu Danjun approached, he was pulled over and sat on his lap: "Can you feed me?"
Fu Danjun blinked mischievously and said with a smile, "Of course I must obey the emperor's orders."
After saying that, she took a piece of dessert and fed it to Xie Changsheng.
Someone knocked on the door, and the response was, "Come in!"
Fu Danjun instinctively stood up, but Xie Changsheng held him tightly, "What are you afraid of?"
In fact, Fu Danjun was afraid of embarrassment.
The person who came in was Wang Kang, Xie Changsheng's new subordinate. He was stunned to see a woman sitting on the emperor's lap.
Xie Changsheng frowned impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"
Wang Kang quickly said, "I'm here to ask, what's for lunch, Master?"
Xie Changsheng said calmly, "Bring some local specialties and buy some more cakes."
Wang Kang quickly agreed: "As you command."
Then he stepped out the door and took a deep breath before catching his breath.
He was not afraid of the emperor, but he was worried about his lovestruck sister when he saw the emperor being so intimate with a woman.
Wang Kang is in his thirties this year. He has a wife and children at home and everything is going well. The only drawback is that he has a seventeen-year-old sister, Wang Zhiyao, who is still unmarried.
She has been spoiled since she was a child and most men are not attractive to her.
That day she came to see Wang Kang and saw at first sight that Xie Changsheng was so noble and imposing, he was exactly her ideal husband.
When she returned home, she fell in love with Wang Kang and urged him to be her matchmaker.
Wang Kang was almost scared to death, he was the emperor!
Of course, he never revealed Xie Changsheng's identity to anyone.
When he was chosen as a subordinate, he was told to keep the secret, otherwise he would lose his head.
"Sister, I'm a noble from Kyoto. How could I possibly be attracted to you? Stop imagining that."
In order to dispel his sister's delusions, Wang Kang could only speak harshly.
Wang Zhiyao had indeed calmed down a lot, but she still pestered her brother to take her to see Xie Changsheng.
"I can't marry him, but it would be nice to look at him a few more times."
Wang Kang had to make three rules: not to be presumptuous, not to act recklessly, and not to speak carelessly.
Wang Zhiyao agreed to everything, and then often followed Wang Kang around the inn.
Now Wang Kang asked her to go out and buy special dishes and pastries, saying that the master wanted to eat them.
Wang Zhiyao went out and bought two baskets of food, then brought them back and followed Wang Kang into the room.
She didn't know that there was another woman inside, and that the master looked at this woman with deep affection.
He was so jealous that he couldn't control his expression.
Fortunately, Xie Changsheng didn't notice and waved to the brothers and sisters to set the table.
"Dan-jun, how about we go out and play after lunch?"
Xie Changsheng remembered that day when Wanyan Qi bought her a velvet flower to wear, and he wanted to follow suit.
Fu Danjun never for a moment thought about escaping from death, wondering whether now was the right time.
"I thought, the levee is still under repair, so we should go and take a look more often."
Xie Changsheng nodded when he heard this: "That's right, let's go together later."
In fact, he was willing to go anywhere as long as he was with Fu Danjun.
Wang Zhiyao couldn't help but interject, "I know a shortcut. I'll lead the way."
