Chapter 155: Being Jealous of Yourself
After the nap, Jiang Yingli pestered Xiao Chenglan to go to the market, and Xiao Chenglan naturally agreed to her request.
The two changed into their prepared casual clothes and prepared to go to Bailefang, where they used to hang out and there were many interesting stalls and acrobatics.
Jiang Yingli started thinking about it as soon as she left the house, and couldn't help but chuckle. Xiao Chenglan looked down at her and smiled foolishly, with the corners of his lips raised.
"What did you think of that made you so happy?"
Jiang Yingli's eyes were bright as she looked up at Xiao Chenglan and shook his hand gently.
"Your Majesty, when we get to Bailefang, I can't possibly call you Your Majesty, or I'll scare everyone around me to death."
Xiao Chenglan's lips curved even more, knowing the consultant: "Then what do you want to shout?"
He asked, a look of anticipation on his face.
Jiang Yingli bit her lip, raised her tone, and asked tentatively, "Prince?"
The expectation on Xiao Chenglan's face froze slightly, and he reached out and tapped Jiang Yingli's eyebrows.
"That's not what you have in mind, is it? Are you saying this on purpose to trick me into calling you first?"
Jiang Yingli's little thoughts were exposed. She smiled like a spoiled child, shook his hand, and said coquettishly: "Then Your Majesty, do you agree to my concubine?"
Xiao Chenglan watched and listened to her coquettish voice, and could only let her do as she wished, calling her "Madam."
It was clearly a normal tone, but the smile in the depths of Xiao Chenglan's eyes was as gentle as water, and Jiang Yingli could hear a lot of tenderness in it.
She felt her heart melt.
"Husband!"
Jiang Yingli called out "husband", but actually she pounced on Xiao Chenglan with a "woof".
Xiao Chenglan was pounced on by her, and his usually steady steps were shaken, but he caught her firmly.
"Husband, husband, husband!" The furry head rubbed against his chest.
Xiao Chenglan chuckled and patted her head: "Okay, my husband heard it."
After that, he straightened her messy hairpin and asked, "Do you still want to go out and play? Your hair is almost getting tangled."
Jiang Yingli raised her head from his chest and smiled brightly: "I'm going."
Jiang Yingli was in high spirits and kept chattering along the way. She would point out interesting things to Xiao Chenglan, and also point out uninteresting things to Xiao Chenglan.
Every sentence must begin with the word "husband".
Xiao Chenglan knew that she was very happy now, and started to act crazy again.
He also knew that some of the things she was referring to, she herself might not even see what they were, she just wanted to call him husband a few more times.
Xiao Chenglan let her drag him through every alley in Bailefang, listening to her calling him "husband" all the way.
When it was time to go back, Jiang Yingli suddenly started to act coy, as if she had some unfulfilled wish.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chenglan asked.
Jiang Yingli looked up at him, her eyes gleaming with hope, her face full of anticipation: "Your Majesty, I want to go to the clothing store and buy you some clothes."
Xiao Chenglan was very confused: "Why do you suddenly want to buy clothes?"
"Your Majesty has grown taller. The old clothes in the mansion no longer fit you."
"I took the clothes from the palace. Besides, I have hundreds, if not thousands, of clothes in the palace."
Jiang Yingli hesitated for a long time before she finally said clearly: "But, there are no white clothes in your Majesty's palace."
Xiao Chenglan paused, and in an instant he understood something. He looked at Jiang Yingli, sighed softly, and a helpless look appeared on his face.
"If you want to, go ahead."
Jiang Yingli, with a happy face, pulled Xiao Chenglan into a clothing store.
Since you buy the finished product directly, there is nothing to choose from.
Jiang Yingli chose a white brocade robe with wide sleeves, covered with a layer of soft gauze.
After putting it on, Xiao Chenglan's stern features were softened by the pure white color and became as gentle as moonlight.
The jade crown and hair are tied together, elegant and noble.
Jiang Yingli was a little stunned.
The most unforgettable scene in my heart reappeared today.
On the way back, Jiang Yingli stuck to Xiao Chenglan the whole way, wishing she could hang on him.
Xiao Chenglan changed into white clothes and was obviously not as happy as before, but this did not affect Jiang Yingli's enthusiasm.
After getting on the carriage, Jiang Yingli lifted her skirt and sat on Xiao Chenglan's legs. She held his face with her fair hands and kissed him from his eyebrows to the corner of his lips, and then from the other side, like a chicken pecking at rice.
Xiao Chenglan watched her fooling around with half-closed eyes, with unfathomable emotions in his eyes.
After enduring for a while, his Adam's apple rolled and he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Jiang Yingli, do you really like me wearing white clothes?"
"Yes, I like it. It's the first time I see His Majesty in white. He is simply stunning."
Xiao Chenglan thought of the painting that Jiang Yingli had been practicing recently, which was also a painting of him wearing white clothes.
"I was young then, only seventeen, and everything looked good on me. But I am no longer young."
Jiang Yingli didn't expect to hear such a sentence and was stunned.
Your Majesty, are you mourning over your own age?
But Your Majesty is only twenty-four now, how is he not young?
Xiao Chenglan looked into her eyes and said, "Do you prefer the me from before? Do you prefer the me from before, pure and innocent in white, gentle and clean?"
Jiang Yingli immediately understood what Xiao Chenglan was grieving about.
"How could that be? Your Majesty, no matter what you look like, I like you."
Xiao Chenglan's eyes wandered over Jiang Yingli's face, and finally he reached out and gently stroked her cheek: "Then forget the me of the past. Only like the me of the present, the me who stands before you and looks into your eyes."
Jiang Yingli was stunned: "Your Majesty, it's fine if you're jealous of women, but why are you jealous of yourself?"
Xiao Chenglan's eyes suddenly became sharper. He grabbed Jiang Yingli's wrist, holding it tightly, his eyes locked on her:
"Why are you so surprised? So you think none of this matters and I'm just being unreasonable, right?"
Jiang Yingli couldn't help but shrink her neck when asked, but she still said firmly: "It's important. Anything that makes His Majesty unhappy is important."
"But Your Majesty..." Jiang Yingli hugged Xiao Chenglan's neck, pressed her cheek against Xiao Chenglan's profile, and rubbed it gently.
"Your Majesty, please don't be sad. The seventeen-year-old Your Majesty is loved by the thirteen-year-old Jiang Yingli, and the twenty-four-year-old Your Majesty is also loved by the twenty-year-old Jiang Yingli."
Xiao Chenglan's anxious heart was soothed, and his anger and paranoia, which had nowhere to vent, gradually calmed down.
The soft cheek on the side of his face was touching him. He tilted his head slightly and kissed those two soft lips.
The temperature inside the carriage suddenly rose. Jiang Yingli suddenly felt uncomfortable and tried to stand up but was pushed back.
At such close quarters, she heard Xiao Chenglan's somewhat mute chuckle: "Well, when I was seventeen, I could only watch you from places you had never noticed, but now, I can hold you in my arms and wear the white clothes you like..."
The last two words were said while biting Jiang Yingli's ear, and her earlobe almost bled.
The carriage bumped along the way, and when returning to Prince Su's Mansion, Jiang Yingli was carried all the way back to the courtyard by Xiao Chenglan.
But even after returning to her room, she still couldn't find peace.
I'm back on the bed where I've rolled countless times before, and I have to reminisce about the past.
After sleeping in the palace for a year, I can now clearly feel that the bed in the palace is much smaller, but it has a different kind of charm.
