Are you free?
At dinnertime, Ming Zhao was invited to join them. Du Yinyin and Fu Li were also present. The atmosphere was harmonious, but Su Yunwei seemed a little irritated, not eating much and saying little. Fu Changan sat off to the side, watching silently, without saying much, only occasionally pushing a dish she'd glanced at a little further.
Du Yinyin picked up some food while paying attention to the two people's situation, and laughed secretly in her heart.
After Mingzhao said goodbye, Fu Mingyue thought about it and then returned to the courtyard with Su Yunwei.
"Weiwei, are you still angry about that Li Hao incident?" Fu Mingyue sat down opposite Su Yunwei.
Su Yunwei sat at the table, her chin resting on her hand, staring at the distant oil lamp, lost in thought. Fu Mingyue's voice rang out, and she finally snapped back to reality: "Nothing." She lowered her hand from her chin and glanced at Fu Mingyue: "I just feel... a little powerless. Mingyue, do you know anything about the Li family and the eldest princess?"
Fu Mingyue nodded: "I know, but I'm not too familiar with her. That eldest princess... is notoriously difficult to get along with in the capital. I heard that she has an extremely strong temper. If something doesn't go her way, she will fly into a rage. My aunt doesn't like to mention her. Even the Holy Lord is often annoyed by her. I heard that Li Hao's father couldn't stand her temper back then, and would rather give up the position of son-in-law and ask for a divorce, so she has been living in her own princess mansion ever since then, but... " Fu Mingyue curled her lips and continued:
"She's probably bored, or maybe she doesn't like Li Hao's wife, so she often stays at her ex-husband's house for a while to act like a mother-in-law. Or maybe..." Fu Mingyue glanced at Su Yunwei cunningly: "Maybe she wants to rekindle her old love with her ex-husband."
Rekindled? Su Yunwei looked at Fu Mingyue in surprise: "Li Hao's father has never married?"
Fu Mingyue tsk-tsk-tsked, "I heard that all the women who wanted to enter the Li Mansion were scared away by the Grand Princess. So, people in the capital are saying that the Grand Princess can't let go of this Prince Consort and wants to share their dreams with him and renew their past relationship."
"Li Hao's father must have done something terribly bad in his past life, which is why he's been haunted by her in this life." Su Yunwei sighed silently for a while for this stranger, then said, "No wonder, with a mother-in-law like this around, even a normal person would probably develop a whole host of illnesses if she stayed with him for a long time, let alone a sick woman who had just given birth."
Su Yunwei glanced at Fu Mingyue again: "You said that Li Hao seemed to love his wife very much. Could it be that he really couldn't see it?"
"Although the eldest princess has the final say, she is still obedient to Li Hao. I heard that the person Li Hao wanted to marry had ancestors who made a living in the fields. Li Hao's father did not agree, but the eldest princess agreed. Don't you think this is strange?" Fu Mingyue said.
This couldn't be one of those melodramatic, attention-seeking plots from a novel, right? Su Yunwei remembered a novel she'd read where the hero and heroine broke up, and after the heroine ignored him, he then did a series of things to irritate her, hoping to get her to talk to him. Su Yunwei chuckled a few times. This eldest princess was a bit childish.
Seeing Su Yunwei sneer a few times, Fu Mingyue shrugged and said, "In fact, families like ours value family reputation and rules the most. Letting a son alienate his mother for his wife, or even move out, is undoubtedly a heresy. I'm afraid that once he moves out, he will immediately become the laughing stock of the entire capital. Li Hao is reluctant to sacrifice his family's reputation, or perhaps... he also feels that although his mother is a little strict, there is nothing wrong with it."
Su Yunwei looked at Fu Mingyue who was talking in front of her and found it hard to connect her with her usual appearance. Fu Mingyue like this seemed a little strange, or maybe this was her true appearance, and the usual ones were just her disguise.
"Bright Moon."
Fu Mingyue responded subconsciously: "Well, what's wrong?"
Su Yunwei: "You know a lot."
Fu Mingyue was stunned for a moment when she heard this. "When I was in the palace, my aunt always told me some secrets of housekeeping. These are all in the secrets of housekeeping that my aunt taught me."
Su Yun nodded slightly, and then remained silent for a moment before whispering, "I hope Li Hao won't regret it later."
The two chatted for a while longer, and Fu Mingyue felt a little sleepy, so she stood up and said goodbye: "It's been a tiring day, and the sleepiness is coming to me. I'm leaving first. Weiwei, you should also get some rest early and stop worrying about those irrelevant things."
Su Yunwei saw Fu Mingyue off, showered, and changed before blowing out the candle. The room was plunged into darkness, with only the hazy moonlight sneaking through the window lattice, casting a silver glow across the room. She stared at the blurry ceiling, her thoughts drifting away.
At this moment, the moonlight outside the window was disturbed and a slight strange noise was heard.
Su Yunwei immediately stood up and asked alertly, "Who is it?"
In less than a moment, a familiar voice sounded: "It's me."
Fu Changan? Su Yun was startled. What was he up to in the middle of the night? And sneaking around like that? She thought for a moment, then got out of bed, put on a coat, walked to the window, and pushed it open. She saw Fu Changan, dressed in black again, with black shoes. She couldn't help but wonder: I've never seen him dressed like this during the day. Could this black clothing be his pajamas?
Want to climb through your own window in your pajamas? Want to sleep with yourself?
"Fu Chang'an? What do you want to do by not sleeping in the middle of the night?" Su Yunwei said in an unhappy tone, looking at him in confusion, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the courtyard gate. How did he get in? By climbing over the wall?
Fu Changan felt a little uncomfortable. He glanced at Su Yunwei and handed the glowing object in his hand through the window: "This is for you. It's the glass lamp that the Holy Lord gave me. The light is softer and brighter than your oil lamp. It will be more convenient for you to read and do things."
The surface of the glass lamp was smooth and delicate, and it was an extremely ingenious work of art. Su Yunwei took it in his hand and played with it. It felt as smooth as jade and reflected a faint glow under the moonlight.
Although it wasn't as bright as modern light bulbs, it was still much better than the dim oil lamp. Su Yunwei looked at the glass lamp in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He looked up at Fu Changan, who was dressed in black. "Thank you, this lamp, I like it very much." It turned out that he had climbed over the wall in his pajamas in the middle of the night just to give him a lamp.
But why do I feel a little lost?
"Are you here to bring me a lantern tonight?" Su Yunwei leaned over the windowsill, sticking out half of her body. She looked at him with sparkling eyes, like stars in the night sky, shining brightly.
The soft glow of the glass lamp flowed beside her, and her fair face and exquisite curves were coated with a layer of hazy and attractive light. The night wind blew, and the strands of hair on her cheeks were blown. Fu Changan felt that his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out.
Su Yunwei looked at his tightly pursed lips, then shifted her gaze to his eyes, and opened her red lips slightly: "Is it really... just to give me a lamp?"
He couldn't take his eyes off her face. The most terrible thing was not those eyes that contained a sky full of stars, but those red lips that kept opening and closing, uttering alluring words.
Plump, moist, and radiant with a lustrous glow. Every subtle movement was like a silent invitation, firmly locking Fu Changan in place, unable to move.
I don’t know what that would taste like.
A primitive throbbing that he had never experienced before suddenly broke out, his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably, and his breathing became heavier.
He almost used great self-control, his voice hoarse: "What else?" Fu Changan asked, looking at her with burning eyes: "What else do you think I would do?"
Just as Su Yunwei was about to respond, a suppressed sneer suddenly came from the side.
Both of them shuddered and turned to look at the same time.
Fu Mingyue had come back at some point and was hiding beside a pillar, covering her mouth with her hands and shrugging her shoulders. It was obvious that she had been watching for quite some time and was having a hard time holding back her laughter.
"Pfft...hahahahahaha..." Fu Mingyue couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw that they had discovered her. She walked out from the corridor, looking at her brother with sparkling eyes, her tone full of teasing: "Oh, my dear brother, I thought you didn't go back to your room to rest in the middle of the night, and sneaked into the backyard for some military or national event? It turns out that you just wanted to bring a lamp to Weiwei, and you even climbed over the wall? When did General Fu change his career to become a gentleman on the beam? Hahaha!"
Fu Changan's face darkened and merged with the darkness, but his ears were secretly flushed. He glared at Fu Mingyue, who was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, and said coldly, "Fu Mingyue, are you free?"
"Not at all." Fu Mingyue waved her hands quickly, but her smile remained unchanged. "I'm just passing by. You guys continue." She glanced at the glass lamp in Su Yunwei's hand and said, "Oh, this glass lamp is so beautiful. It's so beautiful. Brother, if you don't have time next time, I can help you deliver it."
As she spoke, she backed away with a grin, "I didn't see anything, I don't know anything. I'm leaving!"
After saying that, she quickly turned around and slipped away, leaving behind only a string of silver bell-like laughter floating in the night wind.
Fu Changan: “…”
Su Yunwei looked at Fu Changan's embarrassed and forced calm expression, and then recalled what Fu Mingyue had just said, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When Fu Changan heard her laughter, his expression became even more unnatural, and the charming thoughts in his mind had long since disappeared without a trace. "You should get some rest early." After saying this, he almost ran away, his figure flashing as if he was being chased by a beast.
Su Yunwei picked up the glowing glass lamp and looked at the direction where Fu Changan disappeared. Suddenly, she felt as if something had gently hit her heart. She held the glass lamp in front of her, and seemed to be able to see Fu Changan's dazed handsome face through the crystal clear glass.
It’s really... a little cute.
