Yun Wanwan initially thought that Rong Chengxuan was just teasing her, but the more Rong Chengxuan spoke, the more serious he became. Yun Wanwan then realized what Rong Chengxuan was going to give her.
Yun Wanwan suddenly felt deaf, unable to hear anything but the pounding of her own heart. Rong Chengxuan… Rong Chengxuan… She didn't know if he was ill or if he'd taken the wrong medicine, but he was being so unruly, almost overwhelming her.
But it was obvious that Rong Chengxuan had no intention of letting Yun Wanwan go just like that. He lightly sorted out the messy thoughts in his mind.
Once some words are spoken, they cannot be stopped like an endless stream. Rong Chengxuan felt that he had too many things to say to Yun Wanwan, but because there were so many things to say, for a moment, he didn't know where to start.
After much thought, all the words he had wanted to say to Yun Wanwan accumulated in his mind were finally reduced to one sentence: "Wanwan... Anyway, I will definitely treat you very well in the future."
This sentence seems simple, but it is very difficult to do it.
Who can guarantee the future is certain? Yun Wanwan has seen too many sweet words, but she knows that Yihua is different from others, and she won't bet wrong.
"Wanwan, I love you..." Rong Chengxuan said to Yun Wanwan in a hoarse voice. After saying these words, Rong Chengxuan suddenly bent down and gently kissed Yun Wanwan on her smooth forehead.
Rong Chengxuan's kiss on Yun Wanwan was even lighter than the one she'd given him in the carriage that day, not even the gentle breeze. Yet, it made Yun Wanwan feel like a precious treasure in Rong Chengxuan's hands. His cautious attitude made her realize how much he cared for her.
Yun Wanwan raised her hand to cover her mouth. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She wanted to step back and calm down, and at the same time, digest what Rong Chengxuan meant by those words.
She took a tentative step back and found that she was now unable to move at all. Rong Chengxuan held her tightly in his arms, leaving Yun Wanwan no room to retreat.
Yun Wanwan licked her lips, lowered her hand, and looked at Rong Chengxuan, teasing him incoherently, "Ah... this... Rong Chengxuan, why are you so serious all of a sudden... Is it really like Jiang Wanwan said, that you're hiding something from me? Or is it..."
After she finished speaking, Yun Wanwan almost bit her tongue, wondering if her brain had suddenly short-circuited to make her say such stupid words.
She knew Rong Chengxuan's character, and based on Rong Chengxuan's attitude towards her just now, there was no way he would do such a thing.
Because of Yun Wanwan's words, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Yun Wanwan finally managed to restart her mind, which had been constantly bombarded with surprises, and finally got the conversation back on track. "No... I mean, why do you think I envy others?"
"When I saw you in the Imperial Garden just now, the way you looked at Liu Xueyan was different from the way you looked at others. I thought you were envious of her..."
It turned out that Rong Chengxuan had been making a fuss for a long time because of this.
Yun Wanwan was at a loss for words for a moment. She never expected that Rong Chengxuan would think that she had that expression because she envied Liu Xueyan.
"I was just a little confused at the time, that's all. It wasn't because I envied Liu Xueyan or anything like that. I already have you, so anything else really doesn't matter to me."
Rong Chengxuan smiled faintly: "Then I still have to thank you for this misunderstanding."
Now Yun Wanwan felt that she couldn't keep up with Rong Chengxuan's train of thought. "Huh? Why?"
"Because of them, I finally have the chance to give you this palace. Wanwan, you'll live here from now on. Like I just said, it's empty anyway, so why not move in and add some populace to the place?"
Rong Chengxuan said so, but Yun Wanwan always felt that it was against the rules for a minister's daughter to live in the emperor's harem. However, being able to look at the lotus in the pond outside the palace every day was a different matter for her.
Someday, she would definitely ask Rong Chengxuan how the lotus flowers in these ponds were grown. Once she learned how, she would also plant this kind of lotus in the courtyard outside her palace.
Rong Chengxuan, perhaps sensing her dilemma, knew that if Yun Wanwan hesitated, she would agonize over it for days, uncertain whether anything would come to fruition. So, he compromised and offered her a suggestion, "How about this? When I need to stay overnight in the palace to handle government affairs, I'll bring you with me. You can stay here and have some fun."
Yun Wanwan didn't say anything more, clearly agreeing with Rong Chengxuan's compromise. "Then what is the name of this palace?"
Rong Chengxuan pointed in a direction to Yun Wanwan, and Yun Wanwan looked in the direction Rong Chengxuan pointed. It was a bright red lacquered gate with a black nanmu plaque with golden threads hanging on the top. On it were three large characters "Qingyatai" inscribed in a flamboyant manner.
Yun Wanwan immediately understood that this place was called "Qingya Terrace", and the name matched the lotus in front of the temple.
Rong Chengxuan did not take Yun Wanwan with him to continue strolling outside. After all, this palace was too huge. If one walked around the edge of the palace, one would be exhausted to death.
If there is anything outside this hall or some other mysterious hidden things, just let Yun Wanwan explore it herself after she moves in.
Rong Chengxuan brought Yun Wanwan into the main hall. The white jade tiles on the floor of the main hall had been wiped clean. Even if you looked closely, you could hardly find any dust.
Yun Wanwan didn't care much about these things. Since Rong Chengxuan wanted to give this to her, the first thing she cared about was whether the place to sleep was comfortable.
Yun Wanwan asked Rong Chengxuan to take her to see her bedroom. When Rong Chengxuan led her inside, Yun Wanwan only took a quick glance and felt that it had already exceeded her expectations and given her a huge surprise.
Inside the bedroom, beams of cloud-top sandalwood were used as beams, crystal jade bi served as lamps, pearl curtains were used as curtains, and gold pillars were used as pillar bases. A six-foot-wide agarwood bed was draped with a jeweled silk curtain embroidered with crabapple flowers woven with pearls and silver thread. A jade pillow and soft silk cloth covered the couch.
