Teahouse.
A man in a dark round-necked court robe was sitting by the window. A Qilin pattern was embroidered on his chest. The man had a smile on his lips and looked majestic.
Sitting opposite him was a noble man who was as elegant as an orchid and a jade tree.
The window was half open, and the shouts of vendors on both sides of the street could be heard into the private room.
The Sixth Prince Li Han took a sip of wine, smiled at Zhao Nanyu, and said, "I'm afraid my mother can't wait any longer."
Zhao Nanyu's face was cold and his brows slightly frowned when he heard that. In recent days, the Queen's actions were more anxious than he thought. She couldn't wait to arrange her own people in the imperial guards, and her father and brother's troops also secretly returned to the capital. Every move he makes is a preparation for ascending the throne.
Zhao Nanyu pondered for a moment and asked, "What is your plan, Your Highness?"
Li Han's smile remained unchanged, "Of course I'm waiting to see the show."
His father had been in power for more than 30 years. He was suspicious by nature and had great means. Now he was seriously ill and trapped in the Wenhua Palace, unable to get out. This was too strange. Maybe the old emperor deliberately designed it to test the brothers, but he didn't expect that the first person he chose would be the queen.
Zhao Nanyu looked out the window quietly, was silent for a while, and said: "The queen is too anxious."
The fight for the throne has always been extremely cruel. If you want to ascend to a high position, you must be able to keep your composure.
Zhao Nanyu guessed that the Emperor's rewards to the Sixth Prince these days had made the Queen confused and made her want to give it a try.
Li Han raised his head and drank the remaining wine in the glass, then agreed with a smile: "Yes." He seemed to remember something interesting, "Ayu, your father-in-law actually showed me good will a few days ago. You should know that he hated me deeply during the Xuzhou grain release incident and even reported me several times. Could it be that you persuaded your father-in-law?"
Zhao Nanyu was stunned. After a moment of silence, he replied coldly, "I didn't."
Li Han was taken aback and said in astonishment: "Then I really can't understand why Lord Song suddenly changed his attitude."
Zhao Nanyu took a sip of tea and replied slowly, "Maybe Lord Song saw something."
Li Han's tone was quite regretful, "What a pity, I had already thought of how to deal with the Song family." He seemed to have just remembered that Zhao Nanyu's wife was also from the Song family, and A Yu valued her very much. He smiled and continued, "Ayu, I didn't know you were happy about your marriage before."
Zhao Nanyu had no expression on his face and did not answer.
Li Han had long been accustomed to his taciturn appearance, so he was not surprised and continued to talk: "I remember now, no wonder the Third Miss looked familiar to me before, I have seen her before."
Zhao Nanyu's expression finally showed some movement. Li Han continued, "During the Lantern Festival last year, I saw her strolling along the Lantern Street with the young master of the He family. I heard that the young master of the He family still seems to be deeply in love with her."
Zhao Nanyu was not in a hurry, he drank a sip of tea, and said calmly, "That's all in the past."
Li Han smiled and said, "I really admire your generosity, Ayu."
Zhao Nanyu lowered his eyes, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corners of his lips. He didn't have a big temper. I just don't want His Majesty the Sixth Prince to laugh at me.
It was still early, but Zhao Nanyu didn't feel like sitting any longer. He stood up and said slowly, "I'll go back first."
Li Han laughed even more vigorously. Tsk, men are always hypocritical. She is obviously extremely angry inside, but she has to pretend to be magnanimous in front of him. Zhao Nanyu would only be so rude when he was angry.
Li Han didn't care about his rudeness at all, "Then I won't see you off."
Zhao Nanyu turned around and left, and suddenly his figure had disappeared. As luck would have it, as soon as I walked out of the teahouse, I turned around and ran into Song Luan's brother Song Heqing.
Song Heqing also saw him, came up to him and greeted him.
"Third brother-in-law, what a coincidence."
Zhao Nanyu's expression softened, and Song Luan called him "Big Brother."
Song Heqing waved the fan in his hand, "Did you just come out after drinking tea?"
"Um."
"Since you've had enough, you should go home quickly. I won't bother you any more."
Song Heqing heard from the guards at the gate that the third young lady had secretly returned home again wearing maid's clothes. He thought his sister had relapsed into her old habit of flirting with other men again. Now Song Heqing urged him to go home, hoping that Zhao Nanyu would keep a good eye on his sister. If he watched her closely, wouldn't his sister have no chance to run away?
You see, the Song family is partial and protective.
Zhao Nanyu nodded, "Then I'll take my leave first."
Song Heqing waved his hand quickly, "Go back quickly, maybe A Luan is waiting for you at home."
Zhao Nanyu curled the corners of his mouth and said nothing more. Every time he returned home to her room, Song Luan was always busy with her own things.
However, on this day, Song Luan was indeed waiting for Zhao Nanyu to come back. She had prepared a plan in her mind in advance, but she still felt guilty.
After autumn, the weather becomes colder. When Zhao Nanyu pushed the door open, gusts of cold wind blew into the room through the crack in the door.
Song Luan was wearing a pomegranate-colored jacket and a light green pleated skirt. She looked gentle and lovely. She looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Zhao Nanyu looked at her pretty little face and raised his eyebrows, "Do you have anything to say?"
Song Luan said in a low voice, "Hmm." She looked up at him and continued, "Well...well...I want to say...we have been having sex without reservations these days, but I don't plan to have another child yet, and Shi Ge'er is still young, so I want to tell you, can you ask the kitchen to make me a bowl of contraceptive soup in the future?"
The atmosphere in the room was depressing and heavy. Zhao Nanyu's dark eyes looked straight at her. He didn't say a word. The light in his eyes dimmed little by little. His beautiful face was a little gloomy at the moment. His lips slowly lifted up, as if he was smiling, but Song Luan couldn't see a real smile on his face.
Song Luan suddenly felt cold. Her scalp went numb from his focused and deep gaze and her teeth chattered uncontrollably. She tensed her back and tried to stand up straight to prevent herself from losing momentum.
If she competed with Zhao Nanyu in momentum, it would be tantamount to seeking her own death.
But now she had no way out. There was no reason to take back what she had said. Song Luan just felt that the look in Zhao Nanyu's eyes when she was staring at her was a little scary.
She remained patient and calm, and continued, "I'm discussing this with you. Don't look at me like that. I'm a little scared."
Zhao Nanyu took two steps closer to her. Song Luan subconsciously stepped back and then stood firm. She was already scared to death, but she still pretended to be fine. She cleared her throat and said, "Just say something."
Song Luan had already made a plan. If he didn't agree, she would find a way to get some medicine herself.
Zhao Nanyu carefully rubbed the ring on his finger, pretending to be nonchalant. He asked, "You still don't like children?"
Song Luan found it difficult to respond to this. Of course, she had no resistance to cute children, but that didn't mean she was willing to give birth to one for him.
Song Luan shook her head. "No, I just think the timing is not right. Shi Ge'er still needs our care, and we definitely can't spare the energy to take care of another one, right?"
Zhao Nanyu lowered her eyes, as if she was easily convinced by her, "You are right."
Song Luan was delighted, her eyes sparkling, and she said, "Is that..."
Did they mean they have reached an agreement? ? I think so.
Zhao Nanyu touched her face and chuckled softly. The words he uttered were naked and straightforward. He kissed her earlobe and said, "Don't worry, I didn't get it inside."
Song Luan's face turned red because of his foul language. She bit her lip and said through gritted teeth, "Speak properly."
Zhao Nanyu laughed quietly, his voice low and pleasant, "Okay, then I'll do as you say."
Her body was indeed not suitable for pregnancy, and not having children was indeed the best and most appropriate choice. However, when she said these words, Zhao Nanyu felt angry in his heart, but he usually concealed his emotions very well, and never showed his sadness or joy on his face.
Zhao Nanyu suddenly said, "I agreed to everything you said, so now it's my turn."
Song Luan's intuition told her that what was waiting for her next was definitely not a good thing. She stuttered and asked, "You...you, what do you want to do?!"
It was still daytime, Zhao Nanyu had no intention of doing anything to her, but he had something to say, he said: "The young master of the He family wrote you a letter."
Song Luan murmured, "I don't know."
Of course she didn't know that these letters were intercepted by Zhao Nanyu.
He gently touched her head, took out an envelope from his sleeve, and smiled faintly, "It's okay, I'll read it to you now."
Song Luan shuddered and sneezed out of fright.
Zhao Nanyu's fingers were very beautiful, round and smooth. He slowly took the letter out of the envelope and read the words on it word by word, "I miss you so much that I cannot see you. I can't fall asleep late at night..."
Song Luan: “…”
She stretched out her hand and tightly grasped his wrist, her face pale as she tried to negotiate with him, "Stop reading..."
It’s so sour that my teeth are about to fall out.
Zhao Nanyu waved her hand away lightly, "After all, it is a token of my love, so I will naturally send it to your heart."
Song Luan looked at him pitifully with pleading eyes. Zhao Nanyu curled the corners of his lips, with a slightly cold arc, but continued to keep his faith.
There seemed to be a layer of frost between his brows that could not be melted.
Song Luan poked his fingers and thought that Zhao Nanyu was really abnormal. Especially the weird look on his face when he was reading the letter.
Even more perverted!
