Chapter 1006 Confession (2)
Shen Miao agreed. The bath water was very warm and comfortable, making her feel drowsy and sleepy. She lay on the bed, while Gu Yu waited on her side and said, "This servant hasn't seen Madam smile like this in a long time."
Shen Miao came back to her senses. She actually smiled quite often, perhaps because she had spent so much time in the harem in her previous life that she was well aware of the principle of losing the battle even if it meant losing the battle. No matter how bleak the future was, no matter how unfavorable the situation was, she would subconsciously put on a smile. If the enemy saw your smile, they wouldn't be able to figure out what you were thinking, and thus, they wouldn't be able to confuse you. It was good to disgust them.
Since my rebirth, I have become accustomed to this look, but that smile was put on subconsciously and not genuine. How could it be the same as a smile that came from the heart?
At this moment, her eyes were curved, as if filled with a little satisfaction, as warm as warm jade, which made her already pretty face even more charming, making people unable to look away.
Jingzhe noticed the red string on Shen Miao's wrist. When Luo Tan gave Shen Miao the red string, Jingzhe didn't know about it, so when he saw it now, he was also very curious and said, "Madam, did you buy this red string on the street? It is quite unique, but it doesn't match the clothes very well."
Guyu also saw it and said with a smile, "Didn't Putuo Temple sell these red ropes before? Five ropes for one copper coin. They said it could be used to pray for marriage."
Jingzhe laughed: "Five marriages are only worth one copper coin, that's really too cheap." He was a little surprised: "Madam, don't you believe in these things the most? Why did you buy it? But then again, if His Highness sees this rope, he will probably be unhappy again. He will definitely think, Madam, you are already a prince's consort, what kind of marriage do you still want?" Jingzhe was lively and this time he imitated Xie Jingxing's unhappy expression and spoke, which made Shen Miao and Guyu burst out laughing.
Guyu laughed and scolded: "You mischievous fellow, do you think you can tease His Highness?"
Shen Miao waved her hand and said, “Let’s have someone put the food in Xie Jingxing’s room later.”
The two of them had always slept in separate rooms, with Xie Jingxing having his own bedroom. Jingzhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Madam wants to eat with His Highness." He couldn't help but feel happy for Shen Miao. The maids saw Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing sleeping in separate rooms, but they didn't know how to persuade them. Unexpectedly, after this disaster, the relationship between the two people has made great progress, which is a blessing in disguise.
Shen Miao said, “This rope is very clever.”
“Huh?” Guyu glanced at Shen Miao in surprise, not knowing why she suddenly said such a thing.
Shen Miao, however, looked at the rope and sighed softly, but this time, there was a sense of relief in her eyes.
This day had to come, and unlike the past, when she was worried about gains and losses, this time, she was fully prepared. Everything in this life was different from the previous one, including the people and events. So, she was still full of anticipation for the future, but she would not bet her entire future on one person.
Grow yourself, become someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the person you love, be equally strong, protect what you want to protect, and understand the feuds you should understand. It's that simple.
She asked Jingzhe to bring a handkerchief and said, "Please twist my hair for me."
…
Xie Jingxing put on his inner garment and walked out.
He bathed for so long that the water was a little cold. When he was alone, his face didn't hold a lazy smile, but rather a rather cold expression, difficult to discern in the night. He wasn't actually a very passionate person, and beneath his cynical exterior lay a detached indifference to the world born of mockery.
