Chapter 28 Gift from the Late Husband
The moon hung in the sky, the night was warm, and the thick satin curtains blocked out the sounds from the outside world. The carriage suddenly became quiet, with only the rhythmic sound of the wheels.
Yun Wan leaned lightly against the wall of the car. In the dim light, she raised her hand to cover her lips and yawned slightly. Her eyebrows were drooped and slightly frowned, and her tiredness could not be concealed in her tenderness.
After running around in the afternoon and going through so many things, Yun Wan had lost most of his energy.
At this moment, with the sound of the carriage, she felt drowsy, with tears of sleepiness in the corners of her eyes.
Suddenly, a slight "cooing" sound suddenly rang out, amplified infinitely in the quiet and narrow space.
Crisp and loud.
Yun Wan was stunned for a moment, and reflexively looked down at his waist and abdomen.
Confirming that the sound came from her stomach, she blushed immediately, with a large blush climbing up her cheeks and gradually reaching her earlobes.
Yun Wan is incredible.
She was actually so hungry that her stomach was growling! At this time!
He glanced quietly in the direction of the couch, but Emperor Jingxuan seemed not to have heard anything and was dozing with his eyes closed.
The embarrassment faded a little. Yun Wan lifted the curtain with one hand and glanced at the sky outside, unsure of the time.
After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her voice and asked, "Eunuch Jiang, could you tell me how long it will take?"
Jiang Fusheng, who was sitting outside the carriage, driving the carriage, replied, "Don't worry, Madam Lu, it will take about half an hour."
Half an hour.
Yun Wan frowned, feeling that it had been a while, and couldn't help but feel worried about Yuezhi's condition.
I wonder where she is now. Has she gone back to the Duke's Mansion to ask people to look for her, or is she still outside?
Noticing her strange behavior, Jiang Fusheng turned around and asked, "Madam Lu, do you have any concerns?"
Yun Wan looked worried and said truthfully, "The maid who came with me got separated from me in front of the Luo family's shop. I don't know where she is now. I'm a little worried."
Hearing this, Jiang Fusheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam Lu. The Seventh Master has already sent someone to look for your maid. As expected, she should be waiting for you at the gate of the Duke's Mansion."
Yun Wan was startled, looking at the expressionless man standing beside her, her red lips moved slightly as she called out, "Seventh Master."
Beneath the deep brow bones, the thin eyelids were slightly raised, and the eyes were like a knife blade across the sky, with a deep coldness and sharpness.
He glanced over, his eyes seemed to be asking condescendingly: What's the matter?
Yun Wan's eyebrows suddenly curved, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she said, "Thank you."
This thank you came completely from the bottom of her heart, so her brows and eyes relaxed and became particularly gentle.
In an instant, the corners of her eyes turned up, her eyes moved, and her face, which was as smooth as cream, suddenly became brighter. Her cheeks were rosy and plump, like beautiful peach blossoms in spring.
Even the few dirty spots of dust on the cheeks and forehead could not hide this beauty.
The eyes met and then disappeared. Emperor Jingxuan raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the table, and said in a cold tone with an order that did not allow for questioning: "Eat it."
Yun Wan's face was full of confusion.
Following his gaze, she immediately noticed the plates on the table and the exquisitely presented pastries inside.
On one of the white porcelain plates were placed several seasonal green rice dumplings.
Yun Wan's eyes lit up slightly. She was still hesitating about how to relieve her hunger in half an hour. She decided to secretly coax her body not to cry out, and then fill it up after returning home.
but--
This also means that he heard his stomach growling just now!
Yun Wan lowered her head, not wanting to look at the other person's expression at the moment. She immediately washed her hands with a handkerchief dipped in water, then picked up a green dumpling and took a light bite.
After being left for a while, the green rice dumplings had already become cold, but Yun Wan was not picky and was satisfied as long as they could fill her stomach a little.
I just don’t know what is added to this green rice dumpling, the skin is chewy and tough, but the inside is soft and sticky.
Yun Wan held the green dumpling the size of a baby's fist. She first took a small bite of the glutinous rice skin on the surface, and then began to taste the filling wrapped in the center. It tasted slightly salty, refreshing and not greasy, which was very much to her taste.
Even when beautiful people eat, their movements are extremely graceful, with a pleasing beauty.
However, after taking two bites, Yun Wan began to frown and his expression became slightly stiff.
Emperor Jingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked casually, "How does it taste?"
Yun Wan opened her mouth to speak, but no word came out.
Noticing her strange behavior, Emperor Jingxuan turned his head and looked over, his brows furrowed. "Why aren't you talking?"
"Sticky teeth."
Yun Wan covered her mouth, her expression unnatural and her tone vague.
There was annoyance in her eyes, and her eyes seemed to contain half a pool of spring water, which made people feel hot at the sight of her.
I don’t know what kind of filling this is, but it’s even stickier than glutinous rice, and it feels like melted syrup in the mouth, making it almost impossible for Yun Wan to open her mouth.
Emperor Jingxuan was speechless, a narrow smile flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to pour a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Yun Wan took the tea and drank it all in one gulp. The sticky feeling between his lips and teeth disappeared, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the green dumpling, she pushed it far away. She didn't dare to eat it anyway.
While she was distracted, a flash of white passed before her eyes, and Yun Wan saw that her hairpin was being held in the palm of Emperor Jingxuan's hand and played with it wantonly.
After a pause, she hesitantly said, "Seventh Master, can you please return the hairpin in your hand to me?"
Emperor Jingxuan lowered his eyes to the white jade hairpin in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's so special about this hairpin?"
If he remembered correctly, every time he saw Yun Wan, she was wearing this hairpin on her head.
Half an hour ago, this woman mistook herself for a criminal and almost hurt herself with this hairpin.
A closer look reveals that it is just an ordinary hairpin made of mutton-fat jade. There are two flowers, one large and one small, carved on the head of the hairpin, which look like pear blossoms.
Yun Wan: "It's just an ordinary white jade hairpin, nothing special, except..."
She paused, then smiled, "This was made by my husband himself. It means a lot to me."
When she said this, the smile on her face was too bright, and her eyes were filled with nostalgia and attachment.
As for who I miss and who I am attached to, it goes without saying.
The curve of his mouth suddenly became straight. Emperor Jingxuan glanced at the hairpin in his hand and placed his hand on the table.
"Since it is a relic, Madam, please keep it well, lest it fall somewhere else next time. Your late husband would be sad."
This sounded strange, and Yun Wan nodded, "Thank you, Master Qi, for the reminder. I will."
After saying this, she wanted to put the hairpin back into her bun, but she was worried that the bun was loose and could not be worn steadily, so Yun Wan took off the hairpin and put it in her arms.
Now it won’t fall off.
Yun Wan cast a grateful look towards Emperor Jingxuan.
Seeing her carefully wiping the hairpin, wrapping it in a handkerchief and putting it in her arms, treating it as a treasure, Emperor Jingxuan sneered.
No wonder this thing looks so ugly, it turns out it was carved by hand.
The craftsmanship is so unsophisticated, and the level of effort seems to be just so-so.
