The two talked for a while. Seeing that Queen Yun was a little weak, An Qingran felt sad after taking her pulse, but there was nothing she could do. She just told Queen Yun that if she felt any pain anywhere, she could come to her and she could at least relieve the pain.
Queen Yun smiled and nodded. To be honest, she was already very grateful to An Qingran for helping her so much.
An Qingran left the Feng Palace, but saw Dongfang Jin standing under a phoenix-tail bamboo not far from the door. When he saw her come out, he immediately came to greet her, obviously waiting for her.
"How is it? Did your mother give you any trouble?" Dongfang Jin looked An Qingran up and down, as if An Qingran was injured in such a short while.
"My mother just wanted to chat with me. She said, if you bully me, I will bully you back. I won't forgive you and make you anxious."
"My mother would never say that. After all, I am her biological son." Dongfang Jin said with a smile.
Looking at the bright smile on his face, An Qingran felt a little sad when she thought that the queen might pass away soon.
"Did the Queen Mother really not make things difficult for you?"
"My mother loves me so much, how could it be difficult for me?" An Qingran smiled. She knew that Queen Yun didn't want them to be sad.
Dongfang Jin finally felt relieved and walked back holding her hand. Because there were palace servants passing by on the road, An Qingran felt a little embarrassed and wanted to pull her hand back, but Dongfang Jin held it even tighter.
The two of them ignored everyone and returned to the Prince's Mansion. As soon as they entered the room, Dongfang Jin lay straight on the bed: "I'm going to catch up on some sleep first."
"Are you going to sleep right after getting up? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" An Qingran thought he was having a seizure.
Dongfang Jin's eyes were filled with joking: "Last night was so torturous that I almost stayed awake until dawn..."
That someone was definitely not herself, and An Qingran still felt that she was sleeping soundly.
It turned out that he hadn't slept all night, so was he staring at her? Thinking of this, she felt strange.
Dongfang Jin saw the shyness on her face, and couldn't help but feel naughty again. He stretched out his hand and pulled An Qingran into his arms. But she couldn't get up. Seeing this, the young palace maids had quietly retreated. Dongfang Jin held her with one hand and closed his eyes: "Don't move, stay with me for a while..."
An Qingran was still trying to think about it, but Dongfang Jin said, "If you move again, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
It's clearly a naked threat.
An Qingran really didn't move. She leaned on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and slowly closed her eyes...
At lunch time, the two of them got up and took a nap. An Qingran also felt refreshed.
After the palace maids had served the meal, they waited by the side. Dongfang Jin waved his hand and asked them to leave. An Qingran was wondering, could it be that the prince didn't need anyone to serve him? Even the general's mansion had people serving the food.
Dongfang Jin stood up and placed the bowl of soup in front of An Qingran: "What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
An Qingran looked at him strangely.
Dongfang Jin disagreed: "I like to serve you food with my own hands, just like an ordinary couple..."
An Qingran was not polite and ordered whatever she wanted to eat. Dongfang Jin really never got tired of trying and his attitude was very good. In the end, An Qingran felt embarrassed: "If this gets out, it won't be good. Father and mother will think I'm bullying you..."
"Let anyone know. I want everyone in the world to know that I, Dongfang Jin, dote on An Qingran. I want to give her the best things in the world..."
An Qingran covered his mouth, telling him not to shout out, otherwise he would be in trouble.
I don’t know what kind of eyes the people in the harem are opening as they watch me make a fool of myself.
That's true.
When Concubine Shu heard the palace people say that Dongfang Jin and An Qingran returned to the Prince's Mansion hand in hand, her mouth curled up. Dongfang Ye, who was sitting opposite her, also looked at her with disdain: "Marrying an ugly woman and treating her like a treasure, you really don't feel ashamed..."
"Ye'er, keep your voice down. It's not good if someone hears you. Since he married an ugly girl, why are you jealous of him?"
"I'm jealous? How could I be jealous? Even if An Yanran is just a concubine, she is many times stronger than An Qingran..."
"Do you really think so?" Concubine Shu said slowly.
Hearing this, Dongfang Ye suddenly recalled the scene of An Yanran and himself making love yesterday. An Yanran was very young, but she had so many skills, and he didn't know who she learned from. She served him very well, but he just felt something was wrong. He didn't understand why he felt so upset and why he always thought about An Qingran. She was just better-looking, but now that only benefit was gone, so why couldn't he let her go?
Why do you fantasize about her marrying you?
Is that a fantasy?
He was disturbed by the images that appeared in his mind.
Now that his mother brought up the matter again, he felt even more unhappy, and could not help but remain silent.
Concubine Shu understood her son. She knew that her son's attitude towards An Qingran was largely due to his unwillingness, and was also the result of his overt and covert rivalry with the crown prince.
Finally, Dongfang Ye stood up: "Mother, I have something else to do..."
Concubine Shu nodded. Her son couldn't hold his temper, but she could.
Earlier today, she saw the emperor's pleasant words to An Qingran, and she liked it very much. She was actually very unhappy in her heart, but so what? Didn't she still have to accompany him and say nice things?
Who made me just a concubine?
She sighed. Let Dongfang Jinai behave however he wants. She hoped he would be even more outrageous. Then, she would see how long the emperor could tolerate them. The emperor was the one who attached the most importance to etiquette and law.
Dongfang Jin had no idea what other people were thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Just like now, he was testing the water temperature, and An Qingran stood beside him awkwardly: "You don't want to take a bath with me, do you?"
This was the most embarrassing thing she could think of.
She didn't know how long she could endure his pestering like this. She was afraid that one day she would take the initiative to get close to him, and then his goal would be achieved.
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Jin shook his head and looked at her seriously: "You wash, and I'll wipe your back."
"No." An Qingran covered her collar. Although so much had happened yesterday, they were still meeting for the first time, so she still had things to consider.
What's more, she was naked and he was dressed, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
Looking at An Qingran's eyes, Dongfang Jinban frowned: "You are mine, your body is mine too, what's wrong with me bathing myself?"
Would he even bring up such a perverse theory?
An Qingran just stood there motionless no matter what he said.
"Perhaps, you are waiting for this prince to undress you? Well, here I come..." He rushed forward with a lustful look.
An Qingran dodged reflexively and accidentally bumped into the table and chairs, causing a series of clanging noises. The palace maids outside looked at each other, and no one dared to ask, let alone come in to take a look.
Fortunately, the sound stopped after a while, and then the sound of water was heard. They smiled at each other. Perhaps at this moment, the prince and the princess were taking a bath together.
In fact, it was true, but both of them were wearing clothes. Dongfang Jin caught An Qingran just now and threw her into the tub, but An Qingran didn't let him escape. She turned around and grabbed her, exerting her strength, and the unprepared Dongfang Jin also fell into the tub. The water overflowed everywhere, and as a result, both of them were soaked from head to toe. They looked at each other dripping wet. Finally, An Qingran couldn't help laughing, but she was caught by Dongfang Jin, pressed against the tub, and kissed deeply. An Qingran's beautiful big eyes flickered a few times, and she felt his tenderness and domineering, which was exactly the feeling she had longed for. She couldn't help but close her eyes and quietly enjoy this moment...
At night, An Qingran was a little embarrassed. If she slept with him, what happened yesterday would definitely happen again, and she would have to go through more pain. Seeing her hesitation, Dongfang Jin understood. He put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "I promise to be good tonight. Please don't chase me away, okay?"
There was a sense of grievance in the voice, like a bullied child.
An Qingran sighed inwardly, wondering if Dongfang Jin had figured out how to take advantage of her and was trying to play all his tricks on her.
But she was still soft-hearted. This time, Dongfang Jin just put his arms around her waist from behind and didn't make any other movements. He was very well-behaved and quiet. After a while, he began to snore softly. An Qingran was relieved and closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. In her dream, she and the prince seemed to be in the Valley of Flowers. Flowers were everywhere and she could even smell the fragrance that came over her in waves. She was very happy to play with him, chasing bees and butterflies. But while playing, she suddenly couldn't find Dongfang Jin. She couldn't help but shout for him loudly, but still couldn't find him. She was so anxious that she woke up all of a sudden, but found that there was no one around her. The prince was really not there.
Where did he go?
An Qingran's heart began to beat fast: "Honeysuckle!"
"Princess, I'm here." Honeysuckle's voice came from the corner.
"Have you seen the prince?" An Qingran asked anxiously as she lifted the bed curtain. It was dark outside, so where had he gone?
Seeing An Qingran anxiously approaching, Ren Dong hurried forward and said, "The prince got up and left when you just fell asleep. It's been half an hour now, and I didn't dare to ask..."
An Qingran was still shocked by the scene in her dream. She let out a long sigh: "I'm glad you're okay. Go and take a look, and come back and tell me."
Before Ren Dong pushed the door, it opened by itself. Dongfang Jin tiptoed in, but his eyes met An Qingran's. He asked anxiously, "Why are you awake? Did you have a nightmare?"
"Where have you been?" An Qingran asked worriedly.
Dongfang Jin looked at her expression and suddenly smiled: "Are you worried about me?"
An Qingran was speechless. It was already this late and he still wasn't speaking properly.
Dongfang Jin came closer and sat on the bed, took her hand and placed it on his head. An Qingran felt the wetness on her hand: "Why isn't it dry yet?"
She remembered that after taking a shower, they dried their hair very well.
"I just took a cold shower..."
