Yun Yichen noticed something was wrong the moment he entered the room. Why did he smell like women's perfume? Before he left Kyoto, it was the guards and Xiao Anzi who cleaned the room. The maids in Su Yue Zhai were only responsible for making tea.
After I left and came back, my mother did send a few maids over, but they were all sent back at the end of the day because they couldn't stand the smell. Later, my mother made a rule that maids working in Suyuezhai were not allowed to use perfume. So where did the smell come from today?
Yun Yichen took out a tinderbox and prepared to light all the lights in the room. He planned to start from the place farthest from the bed.
Just as he lit a lamp, Yun Yichen heard a woman's coy voice coming from the side: "Master, please let this servant come! How can I let you do such a thing!"
"Who are you?" Yun Yichen instinctively dodged to the side, and then reflexively pushed the other person away. Considering that the other person was a woman, Yun Yichen only used half of his strength.
"Ah!" The delicate girl, who didn't expect Yun Yichen to take action, cried softly.
"Yu Rou, how are you?" A woman's voice came from not far away.
"Xiao Anzi, Zhao Hai, Tang Qianli, don't regret it if you don't come out now." Yun Yichen knew what was going on without even looking at the dim room and the strange, enchanting woman. He lit two more lights and glanced at the two, confirming his guess.
The two people were only covered with a layer of gauze, and the pink bellyband underneath was faintly visible. Their loose bun was fixed with a jade hairpin, and the hair would spread out with just a slight touch.
It would be hard for any normal man to refuse such a gentle and charming woman! However, there was a huge difference between being schemed against and being unable to help oneself. At this moment, Yun Yichen was like a raging lion, filled with nothing but rage and no romantic thoughts.
"Who sent you to my room?" He tried hard to suppress his temper and asked stiffly and coldly.
"We are from the palace." The two women knelt at Yun Yichen's feet, their loose gauze clothes half covered and half closed, revealing their snow-white skin and delicate collarbones completely in front of Yun Yichen, and the fullness under their bellybands seemed to be about to burst out.
"Hmph!" Yun Yichen glanced at the two people with disdain. He really didn't know where they got their confidence from. They wanted to deceive people with such little tricks. Did they really think they were playboys who couldn't walk when they saw a woman with some beauty?
The two kneeling women thought that Yun Yichen's silence after hearing the word "palace" meant he had acquiesced and accepted it. They bravely took a few steps forward on their knees and tried to hug Yun Yichen's legs, but he dodged them. The one called Yu Rou even boldly declared, "We have admired the prince for a long time and will serve him wholeheartedly."
As they were talking, the two of them wanted to reach out and touch Yun Yichen. They had been carefully taught by the nanny that if they could seize the opportunity tonight, they might be able to change their destiny and live a life of luxury from then on.
"Was it the Empress Dowager or the Emperor's Uncle who sent you here?" Yun Yichen asked quickly, suppressing the feeling of nausea.
"The Queen personally selected us to serve the Crown Prince."
The Emperor's uncle's idea is really good! Very good!
After getting the answer he wanted, Yun Yichen quickly retreated from their reach. If he hadn't never hit a woman, if he hadn't kept the two of them around, they would probably be dead by now.
Seeing Yun Yichen standing up and about to open the door, the two were a little confused. What happened to the prince? He didn't refuse them just now, so why was he leaving?
Now that he's gone, won't his beautiful dream be shattered?
"Young Master..." The two people stood up swiftly, one ran to the door and knelt down sobbing softly, and the other wanted to hug Yun Yichen from behind.
"If you two still want to live, don't play these little tricks in front of me. Get out of here!" Yun Yichen dodged the woman behind him and kicked the door, scaring the woman at the door to scream.
Yun Yichen had just made the decision that he would no longer live here. He planned to move to the new house tonight, just to warm up the new house in advance.
"Bang" the door fell to the ground, Yun Yichen strode out from the flying dust and ashes, and went to the new house alone.
"The prince must be angry. What should I do?" Xiao Anzi squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. He would be beaten to death or crippled this time. What should he do if the prince got angry and didn't want him anymore?
Zhao Hai and Tang Qianli had just returned from a mission. They had captured a few more of Luo Yan's men, tore their tendons, and dumped them outside the inn. Seeing the frustrated expressions of the Northern Jin people, they finally felt less depressed. Who knew they'd encounter something like this upon returning? It looked like they couldn't claim any credit. Now they just hoped the prince wouldn't take his anger out on them; they didn't dare to hope for anything else.
King Jing and his wife had not yet gone to bed, and they heard the loud noise. King Jing sent people to check around and ordered them to take the two women into custody first.
"What are you going to do?" King Jing asked hurriedly when he saw his wife putting on her coat.
"I'm going to check on my son. You go to sleep first!"
What a bad tone! It seems that his wife is blaming him for not stopping this. Why doesn't she think about the fact that her son is willing to suffer a loss? The emperor's brother is a fat sheep. This time, his son's new house can be decorated well.
Yin Qianhua knocked on the door of the bridal chamber for a long time. After a long while, she heard Yun Yichen say, "It's late at night. Mother, please go back and rest early!"
"Achen, don't be angry. What happened tonight is all due to my father and mother's inconsiderateness. This kind of thing will never happen again. I promise you."
"Junior sister is lying there and I don't know when she will wake up. You, father, and uncle actually... Your son is sleepy, you should go back and rest too!" Yun Yichen's voice was dull and tired. He was really angry about what happened.
The yard returned to peace again. Yin Qianhua knew that her son was really angry. When she returned to Jinhuayuan, she did not treat her husband well and drove him to live in the side room.
Early the next morning, Yun Yichen opened the door and ignored Xiao Anzi who was kneeling on the steps, and led the horse out of the palace alone.
The Xiao family didn't expect Yun Yichen to come to their house so early in the morning. They didn't see anything unusual from his unchanging cold face. Qin warmly invited him to have breakfast together, but was rejected.
"I want to go see my junior sister." Yun Yichen's eyes scanned the faces of the old man and Xiao Jingkang and his wife. Yun Yichen had a lot of grievances and words in his heart that he wanted to tell Xiao Yao, and he really wanted to see her immediately.
"Let Xiying take you there!" Tong Mingyu keenly noticed that Yun Yichen was in a bad mood. The pressure on this child was already too great, which made people feel distressed. He had been helped so many times, so this time wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, Xiying was watching over him, so he would definitely be fine.
In Yaoyuan Building, the maids had already helped Xiao Yao change her clothes. When Yun Yichen came in, Xiaofu and Xiaohui were trimming Xiao Yao's nails.
Her hands were soft as if they had no bones, her nails were pink, and her fingers were slender and white. Yun Yichen stood by the door and watched them quietly. The two maids were very careful. After trimming each nail, they would touch it with their own hands and trim it again if it was not smooth.
"I will go find some marigolds to paint the young lady's nails. I must dress the young lady up beautifully. She will wake up quickly when she is happy." Xiaofu did what she said. She packed up her things in a few seconds and thought about going out.
"Miss doesn't like bright red, so you can pick some pink and bring some alum and some fine cotton cloth. I also want to help you dye your toes, which will definitely look better." Xiaohui instructed carefully. She was determined to accompany the young lady all the time, fanning her when it was hot, wiping her sweat, and moistening her lips with a spoon from time to time.
As long as Prince Yun doesn't come, he will never leave the lady's room.
"Prince...Prince, you're here so early!" Xiaofu was so scared that she almost dropped the things in her hands. Isn't this gentleman coming a little too early today?
"All of you go down and pick flowers!" It was rare for Yun Yichen to speak in such a calm tone. He saw that the two maids cared about Xiao Yao and were not slacking off at all, so he did them the honor of speaking to them.
Xiying winked at the two frightened maids and asked them to go out. It was obvious that Prince Yun wanted to talk to the eldest lady, so she would probably have to sit at the door in a while.
"Can I stay here alone for a while?" Yun Yichen asked as Xiying expected.
"I'll be serving in the outer room. Just tell me if you have any instructions." Xiying was unwilling to leave Xiao Yao's room. Although they were an engaged couple, they had not yet gotten married. The young lady was in this state, so she didn't dare leave them alone.
"I have a few words to say to my junior sister, you see..."
Xiying spread out her right hand, revealing two cotton balls. This was something she had prepared in advance, so Yun Yichen had to give up the idea of driving her away.
Sitting beside Xiao Yao's bed, all the words he had prepared before coming here suddenly disappeared. After being stunned for a long time, Yun Yichen finally said softly: "Wake up soon, okay? They all lied to me. I would rather be bullied by you and have a quarrel with you than live like this now..."
Tong Mingyu had already handed over all the household chores to her daughter-in-law. She had deliberately waited outside for a while before entering Yaoyuan Tower. Xiying was watching Xiaofu and Xiaofu tinkering with Impatiens juice. When she saw her master coming, she stood up and accompanied him to the inner room.
When they opened the door curtain, they saw Yun Yichen had fallen asleep with his head resting on Xiao Yao's bed, their hands clasped together. This was a serious dereliction of duty! Although she was terrified of Yun Yichen, Xiying still took a few steps forward, ready to wake him up.
Tong Mingyu shook her head to stop Xiying. They had already shaken hands, so what was the point in separating now? Yun Yichen was a responsible man and would definitely take responsibility for his actions, but it was better for such things not to happen. He needed to be more vigilant in the future.
Xiying quickly nodded in agreement. She didn't dare to be careless even if she had the courage. If the old man and the marquis knew about it, they would definitely sell her out!
