Chapter 137: Not Being Friends
The crowing of a rooster broke the silence of the early morning.
Wenwan was groggy after a hangover and took light steps to get some fresh air in the yard.
She knocked her head and couldn't help muttering, "Is Mobei's wine too strong, or is my alcohol tolerance getting worse? I drank two glasses of wine and I actually went crazy?"
Wen Wan stopped every few steps along the corridor.
"wrong!"
Wen Wan suddenly remembered the details of yesterday.
From beginning to end, the little prince clearly did not drink a drop of alcohol.
Is there something wrong with this wine?
But what is the purpose?
Apart from the discomfort caused by a hangover, she had no other health problems. Why did the little prince get her drunk?
Wen Wan couldn't make sense of her chaotic thoughts, but she heard faint voices coming from afar.
"You didn't see, those arms and legs, they were so long and straight."
"Especially when he's working, there's not a single drop of fat on his stomach. It's all abdominal muscles, each one a block, more energetic than the wheat grown in the fields back home."
"If I were ten years younger, I would shamelessly flirt with a man like this. If it worked out, my life would be so happy."
"Also, his waist looks very strong. If he were in bed..."
Several women were talking at once, and everyone looked excited.
Wen Wan has seen this kind of scene many times.
Men talk about women, women talk about men, it's just an unchanging instinctive habit.
However, Wen Wan was a little curious about who the man they were talking about was. Did he sound like the type she liked?
Thinking of this, Wen Wan's eyes darkened.
It has been almost a month since she left the border town, and she misses Achai.
Wen Wan secretly complained that they were a group of women who had never seen the world. If Ah Chai were here, any man would be outshined by him.
In terms of figure and appearance, she has never seen a man who can surpass Achai.
Their Chai is the most handsome in the world, no objection!
The voices of several women talking gradually faded away, and Wen Wan wandered around the yard bored.
Along the way, she heard several groups of palace people talking about that handsome man. It seemed that the man's arrival had caused a great shock to all the female creatures in the entire royal court.
Wen Wan was not interested at first. After all, her ideal appearance was already set at Chai.
But later, as more and more people started talking about it, she started thinking, why not go and take a look?
She caught two palace maids who were talking and used threats and bribes to get information about the handsome guy from them.
It turned out that the handsome man they were talking about was Wang Ting’s new gardener.
It is said that the chief steward spent a large sum of money to hire someone to take care of the osmanthus tree for the little prince, and now he is watering the roots of the tree with chicken blood in the back garden.
Chicken blood?
Wen Wan was stunned. Could it be that the crowing of the rooster that woke her up in the morning came from the back garden?
She was also wondering why there was a rooster that could crow in the royal garden.
*
Wen Wan walked along the corridor and soon arrived at the back garden.
At first glance, the corners of her mouth twitched.
"The customs of the people in Mobei are indeed more open than those in the Duan Dynasty."
Normally there were only a few palace servants taking care of the back garden, but now there were no less than a hundred of them, all pretending to be busy, squatting or standing, with their hands pretending to have work.
Wen Wan also admired them very much. They could see at first glance that it was fake, but they could still hold back and not feel embarrassed.
Because the little prince attached great importance to the osmanthus seedlings, the place where the osmanthus seedlings were planted was the best piece of land in the back garden, which was slightly higher than other places.
Wenwan's gaze passed over the crowd and fell on the man beside the osmanthus tree.
Perhaps to make it easier to work, the man was not wearing a veil. He had his back to her, his upper body naked, with his taken-off clothes wrapped around his waist, and was loosening the soil with a hoe.
Judging from his height and build, he is indeed a top-notch man, and...
Well, she admitted that she was on par with Chai.
Wen Wan muttered softly, "He's not sweating much, but he's deliberately taking off his clothes to show off his muscles. What a bastard, he's so exaggerated, it's obviously intentional."
She strode towards the osmanthus sapling. Just as she approached, before she could quickly go around to see his front, she saw a palace maid stumbling over.
Wen Wan: “…”
These sisters are so fierce!
This fake fall trick is too old-fashioned.
Seeing that the palace maid was about to pounce on the man, the man took a step sideways and just avoided the palace maid's attack.
The palace maid fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
"This scene...why does it seem so familiar?"
Wen Wan frowned and thought, "Oh right, when she was tied up by the bandits in the inn, when she was about to fall, didn't Ah Chai also avoid it like this?"
A gleam flashed in her eyes and she quickened her pace and walked over.
The man holding the hoe turned around slowly, and his deep eyes met hers in an instant.
The man's face was not Achai's, and Wen Wan was wearing a veil. Logically, the two should not have known each other when they met.
But at that moment, their hearts were beating violently.
Just one glance was enough for them to recognize each other.
A short separation is better than a new marriage. After going through countless difficulties, the sudden reunion is even more touching.
Wen Wan felt a little sore in her nose, and she had the urge to throw herself into his arms and punch his chest with her little fists.
She wanted to lie on his chest and tell him all the grievances she had suffered during this period!
What do you mean just friends?
She was going to shamelessly take back these words!
She missed him, she wanted to be with him!
She is in love at this moment, and she doesn't want to be a transparent person!
But she took a step forward and then stopped abruptly.
Shen Yu really wanted to hold her in his arms immediately, but now, let alone recognizing her, even looking at her for a second longer might arouse suspicion from those around him.
So, the two rational people tacitly looked away after recognizing each other.
"Oh my God, what are you all doing here? Disperse immediately! The little prince is coming!"
The chief steward hurried to the garden gate and saw hundreds of people crowded in the back garden. He almost fainted with anger.
These itchy creatures started to get restless as soon as they heard in the morning that the little prince had followed the king out of the royal court and gone to the market.
Who would have thought that the little prince turned back halfway.
The chief steward was afraid that the young prince would accuse him of lax administration, so he hurried over to take a look.
Fortunately, he arrived early.
When everyone heard the three words "little prince", their faces changed drastically with fear. They dared not delay any longer and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
In a flash, the only people left in the back garden were Shen Yu, who was disguised as a gardener, and Wen Wan, who was too emotional to react quickly.
Shen Yu untied the clothes tied around his waist, put them on calmly, picked up the hoe and turned to dig the soil.
Wen Wan took two deep breaths and then walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
There was no intersection between the two people from beginning to end.
