Chapter 183 A Man's Romance
Chen Shuyao was carried by Xiao Mo to the attic of Mingzhe Hall.
Although the space in the attic is not as big as the bedroom on the first floor, the bed is not small. There are no railings around it, and the bed is covered with plain brocade with twined branch patterns, which feels smooth and soft to the touch.
Xiao Mo did not call a maid to serve him. At this moment, only some hazy moonlight was shining through the window in the attic.
He placed the woman in his arms on the bed, then walked over and lit the glass palace lantern hanging on the wall. In an instant, light filled every corner of the small attic.
Chen Shuyao looked through the other person's shoulder and saw the branches of the sycamore tree rushing towards the window.
The moonlight was bright and the leaves were rustling in the wind.
The man standing in front of the window had broad shoulders and long hair.
Perhaps feeling her gaze, Xiao Mo turned around. "How is it?" he asked, his eyes shining.
Chen Shuyao smiled and said, "It's a nice place!" Then she asked, "Do you often come here to rest?"
"Yeah. It's quieter here, and it's most frequent in the summer and winter," he smiled.
"In winter, do we enjoy the snow?" Chen Shuyao asked.
"I'll bring you there then." He said as he walked over.
The man's eyes were burning as he stared at her. Even if Shen Shuyao was calm, she lowered her head at this moment.
"Yaoyao..." he called in a hoarse voice.
Shen Shuyao hummed.
Xiao Mo touched her earlobe, which was as delicate and smooth as white jade, and now a little pink came out, and no amount of caressing would be excessive.
His throat rolled, and he pressed the girl's head to his chest, but said in a muffled voice: "Again..."
Chen Shuyao reached out to hit him, and gradually Chen Shuyao lay on top of him.
In the enchanting attic room, the tops of the sycamore trees, swayed by the night wind, rub against the small window that opens outwards, making a rhythmic creaking sound, like an itch being scratched, like an emotion that cannot be appeased, and can only be lingered on obsessively...
After a long time, the small attic finally became quiet.
When Xiao Mo was around, the maids in Mingzhe Hall were strictly forbidden to go up to the second floor.
Only when the master leaves will an old servant go up to clean the place, so now the prince has to do the cleaning himself.
Afterwards, the couple lay down on the bed together.
Chen Shuyao was held by the other person and thought she would not be able to sleep in a new place.
But after a while, looking at the swaying tree shadows and moonlight outside the window, my eyelids began to feel heavy.
Xiao Mo looked at her for a while, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
After seeing their master go upstairs, Zhichun and Zhixia went to the maids' quarters to rest.
When Xiao Mo was around, he rarely had anyone to serve him, and the maids' residences were independent of Mingzhe Hall.
In contrast, the living quarters for servants and personal guards were arranged behind Mingzhe Hall.
Chen Shuyao's four maids had no place to stay in Mingzhe Hall, so after their master fell asleep, they also returned to Yanyu Hall.
The next morning, Xiao Mo got up and left.
Chen Shuyao returned to her own Yan Yutang to wash up.
While combing her master's hair, Qiao Wei mentioned the two maids in Mingzhe Hall: "Zhichun and Zhixia don't seem to be content with their place. Do you have any rules in mind, young lady?"
Chen Shuyao thought about it and smiled, "The Crown Prince has spent more time with them than your master. If he wants to do something, I really can't control it. Since I can't control it, it's useless to worry about it. However, if they overstep the boundaries in the future, I don't have to worry about exercising my rights as the Crown Prince's wife."
After saying this, she saw Madam Zheng standing behind her without saying anything, and she felt a little strange for a moment, "Madam, don't you have anything to say to your daughter?"
A smile gradually broke out on Madam Zheng's wrinkled face: "Young lady, please give birth to a little boy soon. Only then will Madam Zheng be completely at ease."
She had been with Chen Shuyao for so long, how could she not know that she was a man with a plan in mind? It was just that sometimes, due to her limited vision and the mentality of treating her like a child, she was too impatient.
After all, I watched him grow up little by little.
Chen Shuyao's cheeks flushed when she heard the nanny's words. Her mother-in-law had mentioned giving birth to a little boy more than once, but she had only been married to Xiao Mo for more than ten years.
These people are really anxious.
Chen Shuyao is not opposed to children, on the contrary she likes them very much!
She remained silent until she heard the nanny say, "It's good that you're being calm, but you need to be more enthusiastic. In my opinion, the prince likes you and is looking forward to your response."
Seeing Chen Shuyao looking at her in the mirror, he added, "Young lady, you are a very intelligent person, so you can see things more clearly than this old servant. But this old servant still hopes that Young lady can be better and live a more comfortable life."
Chen Shuyao's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. Isn't it okay for her to do this?
Live more comfortably?
What kind of scene is that?
She had learned to plan for the future and always make the best choices for herself.
Including this marriage.
She seemed to have been suppressing her emotions and never questioning her heart.
Chen Shuyao blinked and hummed softly.
After they had packed up, they went to the old lady's Songhe Hall.
When Old Madam Xiao saw her, she smiled and said, "Your mother-in-law said that you stayed in Mo'er's attic yesterday. Is his room habitable?"
Chen Shuyao felt embarrassed. These people really knew what she had done.
It’s not enough to just know it, you have to say it out loud.
She tried her best to suppress her embarrassment and replied seriously, "It's quite nice. Although the attic is not big, the prince said it's convenient for watching the stars up there."
"Look at the stars?" Zhou Shuhe asked in surprise, her voice rising, seeming a little unbelievable.
Shen Shuyao nodded.
Xiao Jinwen, who was in charge of escorting the female members today, smiled helplessly, wondering what was going on.
With that big brother taking the lead, will they all have to build an attic and take their wives to watch the stars in the future?
After hearing this, Chen couldn't help but twitching her eyebrows.
Old Madam Xiao smiled tolerantly and said, "That's how it should be when you're young. I'm old now, and I haven't paid attention to what the stars look like in many years."
Wang also echoed: "That's right, that's right."
Chen Shuyao didn't expect that just relaying the prince's words would cause such a surprise.
In fact, she really didn't have any romantic thoughts.
But now I complained in my heart: The stars are beautiful, but I am really tired!
