Anle nodded, and with her hand hidden behind her back, she signaled the maid to leave. The maid carefully caught the princess's thoughts, so she made a gesture and silently led the servants in the palace to leave.
As soon as they left, Anle lifted her skirt and walked up to Cheng Moyang, then stood on tiptoe and hugged him.
Cheng Moyang was stunned for a moment, his senses were filled with the unique fragrance of her body, just like the last time he was on the horse.
He was a little slow to react, but he still responded in time and hugged her back.
Anle was very happy at that moment because she got a response.
"You're finally back, but you look a little tanned!"
How can I avoid getting tanned? When I went to Huizhou, the weather was very hot. The reconstruction required on-site supervision, and I had to run back and forth under the sun. I recovered some of my tan later, otherwise I would have gotten even darker.
"Don't worry, at this time of year, it will recover quickly."
Cheng Moyang didn't have any special fragrance on his body, and he didn't like to use incense. Only his mother would order the servants to fumigate his clothes with some soothing incense.
This fragrance smells very good, at least it makes people feel relaxed and happy.
When Anle had hugged him enough, she took his hand and led him to sit on the chaise longue, and asked him what he had done and what had happened in Huizhou.
Cheng Moyang was worried about not being able to find a topic to talk about, so being a straight man he told everything that happened to him in Huizhou.
He arrived in Huizhou and lived with Xiao Hechuan in the Huizhou Governor's Mansion. The Huizhou Governor had two daughters, one legitimate and one illegitimate.
He and Xiao Hechuan's outstanding looks captured their hearts as soon as they appeared, but after learning that Xiao Hechuan had already married and his child was about to be born, the legitimate daughter of the Huizhou governor turned her focus to herself, except for the concubine's daughter.
The eldest daughter has high standards and is attracted by his status as the eldest son of a marquisate and wants to have something happen between them.
As for the concubine's daughter, she knew her status and it was impossible for her to be the main wife, so she wanted to have something with Xiao Hechuan, even if it was just to be his concubine.
The two sisters were responsible for one thing each, and the governor of Huizhou turned a blind eye and pretended to know nothing.
The main reason is that Huizhou is far away, and they don’t know that Cheng Moyang has been granted marriage to Princess Shang, and will be the prince consort in the future.
The two of them were troubled by the sisters' advances. Although the two sisters acted cold and deliberately kept their distance, they still persisted.
As a last resort, the two had to find an excuse and forcibly move out of the Governor's Mansion and live in the official inn in Huizhou. The conditions were not as good as those in the Governor's Mansion, but at least it was quiet.
However, the two sisters still refused to give up.
Finally, when discussing matters with the governor of Huizhou, the two pretended to chat and talked about his marriage to the princess. Xiao Hechuan joked that he would be able to drink his wedding wine after the new year.
When the governor of Huizhou heard that the Cheng family was marrying a princess, and Princess Anle was the emperor's favorite princess, how could he dare to let his daughter commit suicide and compete with the princess for her? Isn't this crazy?
So, from then on, the two daughters of the Huizhou governor never acted up again, and every time they met, his legitimate daughter would cover her face and cry when she saw Cheng Moyang, then turn around and run away.
Cheng Moyang was a little speechless.
He told Anle this as a joke, but he didn't know that at this moment, the hall was already filled with the smell of vinegar. Anle pouted, looking a little unhappy.
So she asked:
"Who is prettier, the legitimate daughter of the Huizhou governor or the concubine's daughter?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Moyang actually began to think about it. He frowned and replied:
"Actually, they are both average. If we really want to decide who is better, the concubine's daughter is a little more outstanding."
Comfort:
“…”
No, buddy, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? You can even answer this kind of life-threatening question? An Le's hand holding his arm loosened in an instant.
After saying this, Cheng Moyang finally reacted. He was so angry that he laughed at himself, but at the same time, seeing Anle's little reaction, he thought it was cute, and hurriedly explained to make amends:
"None of them are as pretty as you. I can't even remember what they look like!"
Anle smiled a little after hearing this.
"Humph, you're so smooth-talking!"
Cheng Moyang chuckled and explained that what he said was true. He tentatively took her hand again. It was so small that he could cover it completely with one hand.
There was interaction and physical contact between the two of them, which is what normal lovers would have.
When Cheng Moyang left the palace, he looked stupid all the way, as if his soul had drifted away.
It was not until he got into the carriage that the coachman saw a trace of lip balm on his face. He finally understood why the prince looked as if his soul had been taken away. It turned out that he was kissed by the princess. He couldn't help but smile.
Cheng Moyang kept recalling that light kiss. He was too innocent, but he was enjoying the feeling now.
…
Another year has passed, and this year's Kyoto is not as lively as in previous years before the New Year. Because of the decree issued by the emperor and the increase in taxes, Kyoto no longer has the luxurious feeling of previous years.
There is no lantern festival anymore, and the streets are not as bustling as before.
However, the palace banquet before the end of the year was still held as usual, but the guests were all royal family members and royal relatives.
Because of Cheng Moyang and Anle's marriage, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was also among the invited guests this time.
Tonight, before going to the banquet, Concubine Guo specifically instructed her subordinates to keep an eye on Fang Miao and make sure nothing unexpected happened.
Fang Miao heard the sound of fireworks outside and wanted to open the window to take a look, but was stopped by the guards. They were like wooden people without souls. They would not laugh and were not talkative.
Fang Miao felt that she had become insane due to being locked up. If she didn't go out once, she would probably go crazy. Now she wanted to lose her temper at everything she saw.
But in fact, she did just that. She lost her temper and smashed a set of tea sets:
"What on earth do you mean? You have locked me up for so long. What on earth can I do to you?"
She had been expecting someone to come and save her, and the first person in her mind was He Heng, but after so long, she hadn't heard any news from him.
The maids were indifferent to her temper and just numbly picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. Fang Miao had no choice but to pick up a piece of porcelain and put it against her neck to threaten:
"Let me go, or I'll die in front of you!"
At this moment, a puff of smoke suddenly blew in, and everyone, including Fang Miao, was instantly knocked unconscious.
The assassin dressed in black fell from the roof, pushed open the door of the side hall and walked in. She fed a pill to Fang Miao who was lying on the ground, and she woke up soon...
