At the entrance, Mo Lingyun's domineering face was expressionless. Stepping into the Imperial Residence in large strides, he surveyed the area with his cold eyes and actually walked towards Lanzi Pavilion where Xia Wan was. When he saw the empty Lanzi Pavilion, Mo Lingyun suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart, as if something was missing.
"Granny Li? Where's Wan 'er?" Perhaps even Mo Lingyun himself did not realize that he was not calling Xia Wan, but Wan 'er.
"You mean, Miss Xia…ah, no, Princess Consort.”Granny Li suddenly realized that she couldn't talk about Miss Xia in front of Mo Lingyun and immediately changed her words." The Princess Consort has returned to the Xia Residence.”
"You're letting her go back so casually?”Mo Lingyun's voice sank like a cold wind.
" This, this servant was only following His Highness's instructions to ensure that the Princess Consort would not cause any trouble in the residence. Now that the Princess Consort is returning to the Xia residence, this servant thought…" Nanny Li looked at His Highness's increasingly dark face and shrank back, not daring to continue explaining.
"This damned woman!" Mo Lingyun cursed softly.
Today's matter had already made him extremely busy. In the end, when this woman left, it made him even more upset.
Nanny Li saw her prince's expression and felt that something was wrong. She immediately went to bring the Biluochun blanket.
"Your Highness, have some tea to calm your heart." Granny Li's hands trembled slightly as she held the blue and white porcelain teacup.
Mo Lingyun glanced at it, but still reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip. He suddenly felt that this tea did not have the same soft and pure taste as Xia Wan's.
"Bang!" Mo Lingyun threw the teacup at Granny Li's feet and turned around to walk towards his study.
"Don't let anyone disturb me." His cold tone was devoid of any humanity.
"Yes, Your Highness." Granny Li curtsied." Then, Your Highness…"
"What else do you have to say?" Mo Lingyun raised his eyebrows and looked unhappy.
" Well, Concubine Yan will be back in a few days…" After Granny Li finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head.
"Yes, I know." Mo Lingyun furrowed his brows subtly.
Concubine Yan, this gorgeously dressed woman, had returned to her maiden home during this period of time, which made Mo Lingyun feel much more at ease.
Mo Lingyun only treated this woman as a tool to warm his bed. He had only taken her in because her father was the Minister of History and had some interactions with his father. At least that woman was obsessed with him and was not worried that she would do anything harmful to him. Thus, he reluctantly accepted her.
Watching Mo Lingyun's slender figure gradually disappear at the end of the corridor, Granny Li sighed and tidied up the debris on the ground. Nanny Li could see the prince's anxiety, and her heart was even more eager for Xia Wan to return.
" Da da da…" The horse carriage moved forward slowly, and the hooves of the horses made rhythmic steps.
Xia Wan sat in the carriage and looked at the increasingly dark night and the brightly lit streets. She could not help but sigh at the prosperity and wealth of this place.
Rows upon rows of taverns, teahouses, jewelry shops with rouge fragrance, and medicine shops with a strong medicinal smell were all so fascinating. Xia Wan gently leaned her head against the window, lowered the curtain, and quietly closed her eyes. The carriage's jolting made her a little sleepy.
After an unknown period of time, the carriage stopped steadily. At this time, it was already completely dark. The lights in the Imperial Residence were all lit up, making it seem especially luxurious.
Granny Li happened to be sweeping the floor at the door. When she heard the sound of the carriage, she threw down her broom and went out to welcome them. She was so happy to see that beautiful figure.
"Miss Xia, you're finally back.”Granny Li immediately held Xia Wan's hand while Si 'er smiled.
"En, where's His Highness?" As she spoke, Xia Wan yawned lazily.
"Young miss, sigh, don't say anymore. His highness is in a bad mood, and he doesn't have a good expression on his face.”Granny Li shook her head helplessly when she mentioned the black-faced prince.
"Oh? Are you angry?" Xia Wan immediately smiled wickedly. She reached out and pulled Si 'er, and stepped into the palace." Nanny Li, where is His Highness?"”
Granny Li looked at Xia Wan's expression, which was as if she was watching a good show, and was suddenly at a loss. She was stunned for a while before answering.
"Wangye, Wangye is in the study and said that he doesn't want anyone to disturb him…Wangfei, you…"
Without waiting for Granny Li to continue persuading her, Xia Wan had already tiptoed to Mo Lingyun's study and stood still. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door was suddenly opened. Xia Wan's eyes widened and her nose almost touched Mo Lingyun's!
" You…" Xia Wan was speechless and froze on the spot.
"What's the matter?" Mo Lingyun's eyes lit up with playfulness.
"Of course…I'm fine!" Xia Wan mischievously curled the corners of her lips, her smile revealing a hint of strangeness.
Could Xia Wan say that he was here to see his highness 'black face? It was better not to be so obvious in front of this Bloodthirsty Prince. Hence, Xia Wanming chose to remain silent and turned around. It was as if she was just passing by and accidentally bumped into Mo Lingyun…
"Stop! You want to leave so badly?" Mo Lingyun reached out and grabbed Xia Wan without warning.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wan's body became unstable and she fell headfirst into it. Fortunately, Mo Lingyun reacted quickly and caught her.
The sudden closeness caught Xia Wan off guard, and her originally bright face turned slightly red. When she came back to her senses, she immediately stood up straight and reached out to pull at her messy sleeves.
Mo Lingyun did not say a word as he looked at the delicate woman in front of him. He was originally waiting for Xia Wan to explain to him the reason why she returned to the Xia residence without permission. Unexpectedly, Xia Wan had no intention of explaining at all. She stood up straight and continued to walk.
"Stop! When you saw this king, you didn't bow or explain your whereabouts today. Who gave you the courage to be so impudent?”Mo Lingyun frowned, his face clouded over. A dangerous aura instantly emanated from his body.
Xia Wan was completely enraged after hearing this.
"You forcefully kidnapped me back to the residence and haven't officially married me. Logically speaking, you were the one who was rude first, so why should I be polite to you?”
"What a glib tongue. You dare to roar at this king. Could it be that you've eaten the guts of a leopard?”Mo Lingyun smiled teasingly, but his face remained stern.
However, there was no longer any hostility hidden in his dark eyes. He was really a person that Xia Wan felt was temperamental and unpredictable.
"I really don't understand what you're laughing at, and I also don't understand what you're angry about. Or…can I already easily control your mood? I don't think I have such great charm, right?”Xia Wan raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke in a provocative tone.
If it was Concubine Yan who encountered his highness 'mood swings, she would definitely be in fear and be scared out of her wits. If it was the Snow Girl, she would be coaxing him with soft words and a heart full of fragrance. It was Mo Lingyun's first time seeing Xia Wan's fearless spirit. He found it very interesting.
" Haha…" Mo Lingyun couldn't help but chuckle.
For a moment, Xia Wan was stunned by the smile in front of her. It took him a long time to recover.
"You…pervert!" Xia Wan said coldly. She didn't care about the consequences and didn't dare to take another look. She turned around and prepared to run away.
Unexpectedly, Mo Lingyun suddenly reached out and hooked his arm around her slender waist. He gently kissed her smooth forehead.
"Princess Consort, have a good sleep too…"
