The afternoon gaze shone in through the gap of the curtain, languidly making people sleepy. The slight bumps of the carriage on the road made Xia Wan sleepy. His eyes gradually closed and he fell into a deep sleep.
After a while, the carriage entered the bustling market. Mo Lingyun suddenly felt a weight on his right shoulder. He turned around and saw Xia Wan's little head resting on his shoulder. Her peaceful sleeping face was so attractive that he couldn't take his eyes off her. Mo Lingyun didn't say anything and just let her lean against him quietly. However, the smile in the corner of his eyes was even more dazzling than the sunlight outside the car.
Two days always flew by so quickly. It was already afternoon after two days. Xia Wan casually tied her hair into a bun and soaked herself in the water with the soft petals of orchids floating below her collarbone. Outside the bathtub were messy clothes and mottled water stains on the ground. The fragrance of the high-grade orchids rippled in the air, and the milky white fog floated gently.
"Ah! He's going to enter the palace!" Xia Wan stretched lazily. With a splash, the water was brought out of the bathtub by Xia Wan's movements and spilled all over the ground.
Xia Wan took a comfortable bath and closed her eyes comfortably. She hummed her favorite song,'Because of you', and felt as if she was in her 21st century home.
"Young Lady, it's been almost an hour.”Si 'er urged him from outside the screen." Otherwise, it'll be too late later.”
"Alright." Xia Wan agreed and got up to leave the bathtub.
Water droplets rolled down her smooth skin and dripped back into the water. Her exquisite curves appeared a little hazy in the water vapor. Si 'er, who happened to come in, saw the beauty coming out of the bath and could not help but be stunned. However, she immediately held a silk cloth to wipe Xia Wan's body and carefully wiped the water droplets off her body.
Si 'er draped a thin white robe over Xia Wan and helped her sit in front of the dressing table. She drew her brows, applied powder, rouge, and touched her lips. Si 'er meticulously put on Xia Wan's makeup.
"Si 'er, remember, don't make it too thick."
"I know, Miss!" Si 'er smiled and continued with her work.
Xia Wan looked at the ancient woman in the bronze mirror and could not help but be stunned. Although the face was the same, it was a little unfamiliar. After about an hour, Si 'er helped Xia Wan put on her makeup. She then turned around and picked up the red gauze dress for Xia Wan to change into. She put it on layer by layer and carefully tied it around her waist to smooth out the wrinkles. Xia Wan put down her black hair and sat back in front of the bronze mirror, allowing Si 'er to fiddle with it.
After two hours, Xia Wan and Si 'er walked out of Lan Zi Pavilion. Everyone could not help but feel shocked.
What a beautiful woman! Even Yan Xiner, who was looking out from the Heart Warming Pavilion, could not help but gasp. However, her eyes were immediately filled with jealousy.
Mo Lingyun sat in the car and played with a ruby ring. When he heard a woman's soft laughter coming from outside, he put it away. When he saw the woman who had come up, his pupils could not help but contract.
As expected, she was just as suitable for red as Consort Mother. When that pretty red figure sat beside him, he couldn't come back to his senses. It was as if he had really seen his mother.
"Hey!" Xia Wan looked at the dazed Mo Lingyun and couldn't help but laugh as she reached out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Old Wang, let's go." Mo Lingyun snapped out of his thoughts and instructed the coachman.
"What's wrong with your highness?" Xia Wan tilted her head and looked at him mischievously.
"No." Mo Lingyun stared at the beautiful woman in front of him, unwilling to leave her sight.
"Then why do you look like a fool?" Xia Wan pursed her lips and leaned back.
Mo Lingyun looked away with some reluctance. Suddenly, he thought of something and took out the ring. He pulled Xia Wan's right hand and put it on her ring finger. It was very beautiful. Mo Lingyun nodded in satisfaction.
"What…what is this?" Xia Wan stuttered.
When she lowered her head, she saw the ring on her finger and did not say anything. It was a clear gemstone. This must be the best!! " This ring…" Xia Wan reached out her left hand and touched it gently. She looked into his dark eyes in confusion.
"For you."
"Why?"
"You are my woman." Mo Lingyun pulled Xia Wan into his arms and caressed her smooth shoulders.
Xia Wan's collar was open, revealing her shoulders and collarbones, as well as her deep cleavage. From Mo Lingyun's angle, he could see the beautiful scenery at a glance. Instantly, his blood vessels swelled.
If it were the Mo Lingyun of the past, he would have grabbed Xia Wan without any hesitation. But now, for some reason, he was worried about something. His first reaction was like an ignorant teenager who awkwardly let go of his hand.
Xia Wan's little face also blushed slightly. She quickly sat down and tidied her clothes.
Si 'er, who was sitting in front, did not know what was going on inside. She was chatting happily with the coachman. Leng, who was standing at the side, had been paying attention to his surroundings. Nothing could escape his senses.
As the carriage sped towards the palace, night slowly fell.
The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. Xia Wan lifted the curtain and saw the vermilion door and the disciplined guards.
When they arrived at the palace, Xia Wan lowered the curtains and turned to look at Mo Lingyun's well-defined profile. She really couldn't get tired of looking at him! Xia Wan thought.
The carriage stopped and heard Lao Wang and the guard's conversation. Then, there was the heavy and slow sound of the door opening. The carriage continued to move forward slowly. After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped moving.
"Wangye, Wangfei, we've arrived." Old Wang's deep voice pierced through the embroidered curtains.
"Alright." Mo Lingyun stood up and got out of the car first. He then lifted the curtain gracefully and let Xia Wan hold his other hand to help her get out of the car.
"Thank you." Xia Wan was a little surprised by his politeness, but she still thanked him.
"My princess is still being polite with me." Mo Lingyun stretched out his hand and lifted her chin. This completely destroyed Xia Wan's previous thoughts of him being a gentleman and polite. Xia Wan slapped away that perverted hand and rolled her eyes.
"Pervert!"
Mo Lingyun didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled.
Leng saw her master smile and blinked in surprise. It seemed that ever since wangfei lived in wangfu, wangye smiled more and more. This was good.
" Prince Qi…" A eunuch rushed over.
"It's Eunuch Li." Mo Lingyun nodded politely.
Eunuch Li revealed a flattering smile.""How has Your Highness been recently?"
"Anhao, how is Eunuch Li?”
"Just like that. In the palace, everything depended on the higher-ups 'expressions. Whether he lived well or not depended on those masters.”
"I've really wronged Eunuch Li."
"No, no, thank you for your concern, Your Highness. This servant is extremely grateful.”As Eunuch Li was speaking, his eyes landed on Xia Wan, who was standing beside Mo Lingyun. His eyes lit up." Oh, isn't this Princess Consort Qi? She's so beautiful today."”
"Thank you for your praise, Eunuch Li." Xia Wan nodded with a smile.
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Eunuch Li had just met the fresh girl in front of him and he liked her from the bottom of his heart." Your Highness is really lucky to have married such a wonderful person.”
"Why don't you take a look at who this king is?”Mo Lingyun said proudly.
" Yes, yes…" Eunuch Li was somewhat speechless." It's getting late. I'd better bring Your Highness and Princess Consort to the Golden Hill Palace."”
"Alright, I'll have to trouble Eunuch Li to lead the way.”As he spoke, Si 'er handed him a silver ingot.
