Just when the prince didn't know what to say, the eldest princess turned around as if resigned to her fate.
I saw Wang Xiu walking in and jokingly said: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, was crying to His Highness the Crown Prince in the middle of the night. Who doesn't know this? Do you think I bullied Your Highness?"
"It's a good thing that I come from a womanly family and am married and have children. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to clean myself up even if I jumped into the river."
The eldest princess laughed and cursed: "Fuck you!"
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "Come on, come on, tell me if you have any sad things, so that His Highness will not be sad on this side and I will not be able to sleep at night on the other side."
The eldest princess wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "You are the only one who is poor and has the ability. When Lu Yunhong comes, you can tell him in front of him."
Wang Xiudao: "What's the problem? At worst, if I offend someone, I can coax him back when he goes home? How can a husband and wife have an overnight feud? I don't believe I can't cure him."
Interrupted by Wang Xiu, the eldest princess decided to let go of the matter and not mention it again.
She looked back at the prince, stretched out her hand to help him straighten his gown, and then said: "Sister, I lost my temper tonight. You should rest early. It'll be fine."
The prince nodded slightly and looked at Wang Xiu.
Wang Xiuze said: "Your Highness, don't worry, there is still me."
After Wang Xiu finished speaking, he took the eldest princess's hand and said, "Let's go back and have a rest early. We can still get up early to see you off tomorrow."
The prince said quickly: "No need, I might leave earlier."
Wang Xiu looked at the eldest princess and said, "If Your Highness doesn't remember it, I can sleep with you for a while longer."
The eldest princess said deliberately: "I'm going to get up early. If you can, you can sleep in alone."
Wang Xiu looked resentful, aggrieved and afraid to speak out.
The eldest princess was amused by her again, and her mood suddenly improved a lot.
She reached out and hugged Wang Xiu and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just sleep with you for a little longer. Look at you, but use me as a shield."
Wang Xiu whispered: "Although this is the case, it is true that I care about His Highness."
The eldest princess couldn't help but feel soft after hearing this. She took her hand and the two of them left happily.
The prince looked at their backs and subconsciously followed a few steps.
When he knew Hua Zimo was coming out, he stopped him and said, "Your Highness, it's late at night."
The prince looked around. It was dark. The night lamp was burning lonely, barely illuminating the road under his feet.
He nodded slightly and said, "I know, I'll go out for a walk."
Hua Zimo was afraid that he would be cold, so he quickly turned around to get his cloak. But when he came back, the prince had long disappeared.
The night is cold, but it still can't hold back the fragrance.
In order to avoid suspicion, the prince left the palace and went in the opposite direction to the villa.
He walked aimlessly alone, thinking that tonight he couldn't hold back for a moment and put his eldest sister in a dilemma. What's even more ridiculous is that Wang Xiu was still the one to clean up the mess.
The prince breathed, the cold wind rushed into his chest, and his steps became faster and faster.
Finally, after climbing over a small slope, he saw a courtyard with "Wangyue Xiaozhu" written on it.
Unconsciously, he walked to the place where Song Muting and Ji Yunwei lived. He turned his head and looked towards the palace. The lights there were still there, and Song Muting and Ji Yunwei had not returned.
The old man guarding the gate saw him and asked with a smile: "Sir, are you from the villa? Are you a friend of Master Ji?"
The prince wanted to say no, but he paused and asked the old man: "Do you have any wine?"
The old man immediately took him to the tea room and let him warm himself by the stove. The old man went to the cellar to get some wine and said he would be back soon.
But not long after the old man left, the curtain was opened first.
The prince looked up and found a little girl with bright eyes and white teeth, gentle and beautiful, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
She brought the tea and just smiled without saying a word.
However, her smile made the prince tremble slightly, because when the little girl smiled, her eyes sparkled, she looked so much like Wang Xiu.
What surprised the prince the most was the calmness, confidence and brightness between her eyebrows. In a daze, he thought he saw Wang Xiu when she was unmarried. At that time, she also lived on the outskirts of the capital, in a farm like this.
The prince's eyes moved slightly and asked: "What is your name?"
The girl smiled and pointed to her lips, shook her head, indicating that she could not speak.
The prince was surprised, but saw that the woman was still so gentle and bright, as if she didn't care.
The old man also came back and said with a smile: "This is my granddaughter Xiujun. She was born unable to speak, but she can hear voices. If you have any instructions, please just tell her."
At this time, Xiuyun also blessed the prince and turned around to go out.
The prince took the wine without stopping, thanked the old man and left. Not long after, Xiuyun came out, looking in the direction the prince left, frowning.
The old man sighed behind her and said quietly: "Miss Xiuyun, Master Qi has told you not to act rashly."
Xiuyun turned around and asked, "Did Lord Qi say when he would be back?"
The old man shook his head: "I don't know about that."
Hearing this, Xiuyun turned around and walked into the villa.
Seeing this, the old man was still waiting at the door. If he hadn't seen from a distance that the person coming was His Royal Highness, Miss Xiujun would not have come out, let alone speak.
It's a pity... Master Qi is not here, otherwise tonight... would have been an unforgettable night.
…
The prince took the wine and went back. He originally wanted to drink it, but he was worried that other people would be implicated if something happened outside the palace, so he held back in the end.
When Hua Zimo saw him going back with the wine, he broke out in a cold sweat. Later, he heard that he had brought it from "Wangyue Xiaozhu" and he breathed a sigh of relief.
But he still said: "Although that place is where Master Ji and the others live, who knows if the wine will be dry. Your Highness will not take it from you in the future."
The prince said calmly: "In the future... after what?"
Hua Zimo undressed him and said nothing more, but took the wine away before leaving and gave the prince some sweet-scented osmanthus wine in exchange.
Osmanthus brewed with osmanthus is not intoxicating, but the aroma of osmanthus will.
The prince fell asleep in a daze. In his dream, he held Wang Xiu's hand and they ran into the distance together. Wang Xiu was beautiful, but his face was not immature. On the contrary, he was elegant and calm, almost as he is now.
The difference is that Wang Xiu in the dream only sees him and no one else.
He saw himself smiling, with his chin raised, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes warm. Along the way, he looked back at her smiling face, and his heart was filled with throbbing.
Finally, they stopped, and he couldn't help but hold Wang Xiu's face and kissed it gently and firmly...
The sound of shallow breathing seemed to still be echoing in his ears. He only felt that his breathing was stagnant, and he sank uncontrollably...
