The girl's first shout was uncertain, but her second voice became louder, and she rushed forward with a grin on her face and cried, "Oh, cousin, I finally see you!"
Zhou Zhan took half a step back, holding on to the door frame as if he was about to fall over.
With tears on the girl's face, she realized that he was a patient and was weak, so he might not be able to withstand her attack.
"Three months ago, my father suddenly wanted to marry me. I couldn't find any good men in the west. They were all his subordinates in the army. I didn't like him, so he put me in solitary confinement and insisted on letting me get married..."
"I had no choice but to escape, but I had nowhere to go. I traveled thousands of miles to get to the capital...I encountered robbers on the way, and I almost lost sight of my cousin, wuwu..."
"Cousin, why didn't you tell me that you were married so that I could prepare a gift for you. I didn't know until you arrived in the capital that you were married. Who is the bride..."
While wiping her tears, she looked behind him. She put her arms on Zhou Zhan's arms. From behind, it seemed as if Zhou Zhan had been holding her.
Bi Tao and Chang Ying exchanged a look, their eyes full of defensiveness.
Shen Moran dressed up leisurely and then came out of the house.
"I didn't know my cousin was coming today. It's cold outside and His Highness is not in good health. Stop standing outside and come inside quickly."
The girl grasped Zhou Zhan's arm and moved closer. Shen Moran pretended not to notice and said nonchalantly, "Cousin, please help your Highness. I was so busy last night until dawn that my waist was almost broken." I’m exhausted.”
The indifferent girl couldn't tell the tone of her voice. She really thought that Zhou Zhan was ill last night. She stayed with him all night and restrained her dislike for her a little.
"Bitao, go make tea and bring some fruits and snacks. Hongying, go and clean up a guest room. The bedding must be replaced with brand new ones. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so let the sewing room quickly select materials for Miss Cousin to make new clothes. ."
"My cousin, you have worked hard all the way. You treat the palace as your own home. Don't be polite to your cousin and sister-in-law."
Chang Jinchan didn't appreciate her enthusiasm at all, and said arrogantly: "This is my home originally. The servants in the house all retired from my father's army. They will take good care of me without my cousin's orders." !”
Shen Moran didn't doubt this, but there was obviously something wrong with this girl's attitude.
More like...a declaration of sovereignty.
Shen Moran raised his eyebrows and stood up with a smile.
"My servants should take care of my cousin, and I, my cousin, should do my best. You two brothers and sisters, please talk to me. I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."
In fact, she just found an excuse to make room. Shen Moran turned around and found an empty room, put on a fire pit and a recliner, and lay on the recliner, cracking melon seeds and reading a storybook.
Bi Tao felt a sense of crisis and said anxiously: "Miss, that cousin is obviously coming with bad intentions. How can you let her dare to be alone with His Highness?"
Shen Moran vomited melon seed peels all over the ground, turned a page, and said leisurely: "What should we do? Just guard against thieves? There is a saying that it is difficult to guard against thieves. They are direct cousins, so you really need something. , who can guard against it?"
"Besides, it seems that this princess is so weak...isn't she just a man!"
The love words Zhou Zhan had said floated through her mind, and she sneered. If he really dared to have another woman, the worst she could do was to pick up her own wish again, and it was not certain who would cuckold whom!
In the bedroom.
Chang Jinchan wiped away her tears, looked around the room, and pouted: "Cousin, have I disturbed you by coming to the capital?"
Zhou Zhan also vaguely felt her hostility towards Shen Moran, but for this cousin... they had not been in contact for at least ten years, and when they first met, he was a little unaccustomed to the girl's familiarity.
He asked with a straight face: "Does uncle know that you are coming to the capital?"
The girl lowered her head, biting her lip with her teeth, and nodded after a long time, her tone uncertain.
"You should know, right? I left a letter to dad, and dad didn't send anyone to take me back. Therefore, dad should support my coming to the capital."
She didn't say that her father suddenly wanted to marry her because of his wedding, nor did she say that she ran away from the marriage because she had him in her heart. After all, they hadn't seen each other for ten years, so this feeling was unexpected.
"But I didn't expect that my cousin is already married. My cousin...is she treating you well?"
The daughter of the prime minister's house is worthy of her cousin's status, but... she just isn't convinced!
When Zhou Zhan mentioned Shen Moran, his tone was doting.
"Your cousin-in-law is very kind to me, and I like her very much. Now that you have come to the capital, I will write a letter of divorce to my uncle to let him know."
"There are clean guest rooms prepared in the house. You go and rest for a while. Your cousin and I will take care of you at noon."
The girl looked at him hesitantly, and after he showed signs of lack of energy, she turned around and walked away.
The sudden visit of his cousin broke the peace of life, and Zhou Zhan had a headache. He had just promised Shen Moran not to marry unless necessary, and his uncle gave him such a treatment.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the fact that his cousin is now in his house shows that his uncle's attitude is ambiguous.
His princess is so smart, how could she not see that?
He coughed twice, opened the door and went out and asked, "Where is the princess?"
Chang Ying, who was guarding the door, pointed in the direction of the guest room in the backyard. He followed it and found that his princess was lying on a recliner and eating melon seeds like a normal person. There were as many melon seed rinds scattered as there were notebooks scattered on the table.
"Have you finished renewing the old one?"
Half of the woman's face emerged from behind the book, still smiling, but Zhou Zhan felt like there was something stuck in his throat and didn't know how to speak.
"Childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, this kind of relationship is really enviable."
Shen Moran was thinking about writing this plot into the storybook, and what kind of character should be created then...
Zhou Zhan explained: "We haven't seen each other for ten years. Ten years ago, it was just a friendship of playing in the mud together. Where did the affection come from!"
Shen Moran's eyes lit up, and the plot of playing in the mud could also be written.
She found childhood experiences that she had never had before found novel.
Zhou Zhan knew that she was thinking wrongly and sighed.
"I will make it clear to my uncle when he comes back. Today is the Laba Festival. Let the kitchen fill up two bowls of Laba porridge to satisfy your stomach."
Making Laba porridge is very particular. You have to start cooking it from last night, and cook it all night, until all the beans and longans inside are melted. After a bowl of it, you will feel warm all over your body.
"There is a palace banquet tonight. If you don't want to go, let's tell the palace." Shen Moran noticed the embarrassment that he wanted to explain clearly but could not explain clearly, and thoughtfully said, "It's okay, we will encounter this problem sooner or later. , if you don’t have a cousin, there will be other women who appear, so your Highness doesn’t need to worry too much.”
Bi Tao brought two bowls of Laba porridge, and Shen Moran picked up another bowl. The sandy porridge had a unique taste, sweet, mixed with the taste of red dates, longan, and peanuts.
"Bitao, go and give a bowl to Miss Cousin. Go and see if Cousin has anything missing. Go directly to the warehouse to get it."
