Although Xiyan was very sleepy, she didn't fall asleep immediately. Instead, she was prepared to bathe.

Waiting for her to bathe, in addition to the spring snow and summer frost, there are also a few maids from the Ruiwang Mansion. Seeing the bruises on her body, she was obviously shocked, and from their eyes, she even saw pity. So what? Xiyan thought numbly.

After the maids retreated, Chunxue and Xiashuang stepped forward and said in a choked voice, "Gege, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Xiyan closed her eyes, she didn't want to see their tears, she ...... I don't want to shed tears either.

"Lord Wang...... Why ......" Spring Snow wants to talk and stops. She thought that the prince at least had feelings for Gege, otherwise Gege vomited blood, was his anxiety and nervousness fake?

"He didn't do anything to me, you thought too much." Xiyan said lightly.

"Gege," Xia Shuang was a cheerful little girl, although she was sad, but instead thought of something that could comfort herself, "When Gege has a child in the future, the prince will definitely treat you well." Maybe you already have a baby? ”

Xiyan didn't speak.

"If it's a son, it's still a son!" She thought that Xiyan hadn't heard her words, and her tone was accentuated again.

"Or ......" Chunxue obviously thought about this question, "It's not bad to be a daughter, you can be a companion with Gege, and in the future, you won't be so sad." ”

"Whether it's a son or a daughter," Xi Yan finally spoke, her voice already a little hoarse, "I can't escape the fate of my concubine." ”

With just one sentence, both of them were silent.

"Only the son of Fujin can be the son of the world." She explained lightly, as if this qiē had nothing to do with her.

"But Fujin—" Xia Shuang still wanted to argue.

"If it's true...... Like you think......" Xiyan's voice lowered, "Then my son will be handed over to her to raise, and he will no longer recognize me as a mother." ”

Chunxue and Xia Shuang no longer spoke, they grew up in the Wen Mansion, and although they didn't know much about these things, they weren't completely ignorant. Now hearing Xiyan say this, I can't help but feel a little disheartened.

"But I'd rather have a boy." Xiyan laughed self-deprecatingly. "At least you can go out on your own, and you may not have no chance of getting ahead. And the daughters of the concubines," Xiyan's expression darkened, "most of them can only be concubines for others." Am I going to be a concubine myself, and this fate will continue in my daughter? ”

"Gege," Chunxue crouched beside her, "No, no, things must not be as bad as you think, don't think about it now, your body is just ......"

Xi Yan smiled apologetically at her, "I don't mean to make you worry and feel sad, just to tell you about this fact." I will only say these things once, and you will not mention them again. The Queen Mother also wants me to give birth to children for the prince, and I understand my duty. It's just something else, I shouldn't have thought about it, and I don't dare to think about it. ”

"The slave knows."

After bathing, Xiyan was exhausted. Yesterday morning I dressed up for the wedding, and after Li Xuan tossed all night, today I got up and prepared to enter the palace to thank him, and now I am lying on the bed, I only feel that the bones of my whole body are going to be scattered. Originally, I planned to dry my hair and apply the medicine given by the Queen Mother again, but as soon as I put on the pillow, I fell asleep before I had time to think about it.

I don't know how long she slept, but when she woke up again, it was already dark.

Xiyan was shocked to realize that it was already past lunchtime, and her face couldn't help but look ugly. It's only the first day of marriage, and she broke the rules, I don't know what everyone will think of her: she is really worthy of Li Xuan's evaluation of her.

"Gege must be hungry after sleeping for so long, right?" Chunxue and Xiashuang saw that she woke up and hurriedly walked over.

"Hmm......" Xiyan nodded, and asked with some annoyance, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" ”

"It was specially ordered by the prince." Xia Shuang said. This day's experience, she seems to have grown up a lot, if she usually must be so noisy that she can't stop talking, now she is just waiting for her to dress in a proper manner.

"Has the prince been here?" Her heart was beating a little faster.

"Not long after you fell asleep, the prince came over. When I see you asleep, just say don't make you noisy and let you sleep more. Chunxue replied.

"Oh." Xiyan nodded blankly, seeing that Chunxue seemed to want to stop talking, so she hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"It's nothing." Chunxue's face was slightly red, "It's that the prince brought a medicine bottle, saying that it was rewarded by the emperor in the past, which can invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis...... He also asked Gege if he had taken medicine before going to bed. ”

Xi Yan's face couldn't hold back, and he lowered his head and said, "That'...... What do you say? ”

"I said no...... And then...... Then the prince said...... It just so happened that he painted Gege as well. ”

"Huh?!" Xiyan was dumbfounded. "Tu ...... Where's the paint? ”

"The prince doesn't let the slaves and maids serve by his side...... Probably all of them. Chunxue said cautiously, "Gege, what do you think of yourself?" Does it still hurt? ”

As soon as Chunxue asked, Xiyan remembered that when she was lying down, she still had a faint pain, but now she doesn't feel it much. But why did he do it? Moreover, the injuries on her body are also ...... Xi Yan's originally fair face couldn't help but turn even redder, so wouldn't he want to smear her all over her body!

Chunxue saw that Xiyan didn't speak, and knew that she was shy, so she said again, "When the prince leaves, explain that Gege's dinner is good to use in the room, and rest early after eating." Just now, the kitchen sent someone to ask, saying that it was all ready, and it would be delivered as soon as you woke up. Do you think it's time to pass the meal? ”

Xiyan nodded. "Pass it on." She hadn't eaten much in the past two days, and as soon as Chunxue said it, she really felt hungry.

After only a while, Xia Shuang arranged for the maid to serve all the dishes in an orderly manner.

Shrimp segments, egg rolls with powder sausages, boiled asparagus, three fresh steamed dumplings, hibiscus snow clam soup, and her favorite apricot cheese.

"This is ......" Xiyan had a confused look on his face, "This is today's dinner?" ”

"The slave was also shocked!" Xia Shuang chuckled. "The kitchen said that it was all specially instructed by the prince. When the slave and maid saw it, it was all Gege's favorite food. ”

Xiyan couldn't help but shake his head. Once upon a time, there was a cook in their family who was the best at making this apricot cheese, and the happiest thing she did at that time was to climb the tree with a bowl in her hand and watch the scene outside while eating. Later, she lived in the palace, and once inadvertently told Li Xuan that the apricot cheese made by the chef in the palace was far less delicious than her home. Who would have thought that the next day he would conjure up a bowl out of nowhere, and the taste would be exactly the same as what he had made at home. Thinking about it now, although Li Xuan was not as considerate and gentle to her as Ning Ruo at that time, it was actually not bad. No matter what she asked of him, no matter how impatient he was, he always managed to satisfy her in the end. Although she is not the person he likes, she should be considered a close friend or sister of his......

"Gege?" Chunxue saw Xiyan sitting motionless, and called her softly. "Let's eat."

"Okay." Xi Yan Fang came back to his senses and smiled lightly.

"The prince is also attentive to Gege." Chunxue said softly. In fact, she was also very confused at this time. If it is said that the prince has affection for Gege, but he has a ruthless hand to make Gege bruised all over his body, if he is ruthless, today not only personally sent medicine, but now he specially sent these many Gege's favorite food, which is really misty. But no matter what, she still wants to believe that he has some different feelings for Gege. If not, how will Gege live in the days to come?

Xiyan didn't speak, just smiled and shook her head. She wanted to laugh at it, but the thoughts in her heart were far more than just the surface, and it was only for a moment, her eyes were a little red, and there were bright tears in her eyes. Xi Yan hurriedly lowered his head to hide his gaffe.

"Gege, hurry up and eat." Xia Shuang urged on the side. "It looks delicious."

"Hmm." Xiyan took a piece of apricot cheese and put it in his mouth. is obviously the refreshing sweetness she loves, but there is an inexplicable bit of bitterness, which has been entangled in her heart for a long time.

It may be that she slept too much during the day, and when it was time to come, she still couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning in bed.

She couldn't guess Li Xuan's thoughts. Originally, he asked the Queen Mother to marry, but she always felt that he still had some old feelings for herself. But last night...... Last night he had spoken of her with those unpleasant words, and tortured her to death—though she did not know how ordinary husbands and wives got along, she had a vague knowledge that it should be a pleasure for both parties, and by no means as he had done to her...... He clearly wanted to humiliate her...... Thinking of the things he did to her, even though her body was wrapped in the quilt, Xiyan couldn't stop trembling. Li Xuan is her husband, if he treats her like this in the future, what should she do? She was very confused and scared, and wanted to find someone to talk to, but who could she say these words to? The closest thing to her is Xia Shuang and Chunxue, but they are still little girls, and today's injury has scared them half to death, and she can't bear to let them be sad anymore. Aunt Qing...... No, Eniang, I can't say it, although she is already her mother-in-law, she is also his mother.

She has always been ignorant of emotional matters. When she was young, she liked Li Xuan, and one day he could look at himself more and say more good things to himself, and she would be happy for a long time. But Li Xuan is often impatient with her, and thinks she is naughty, although she finds it boring, she never cares. Later, when that happened, Li Xuan scolded her, and she left the palace because of this, and slowly died of heart while missing him in Lingshui County. When she grew up, Yun Heng said that she was willing to marry her, and she felt that it was also good to marry Yun Heng: they were good friends, and they should also become a harmonious couple. But now everything is messed up. Although she was married to the person she had been dreaming of, she had to endure his torture, and the days ahead made her very afraid...... No, it doesn't have to be that far, she is even afraid of the night when Li Xuan arrives next, she is afraid of his disdainful mockery, afraid of his crazy possession, afraid of the pain of the whole person being torn apart...... However, today he seems to be different from yesterday. is so gentle and considerate, so kind and pleasant, but really like a husband who cherishes his wife. Just when she was almost confused by him, he ridiculed her for not knowing etiquette in front of everyone in the house. This was the first time she had dealt with this big family as a side Fujin, could he not know what his words meant to her? What will people think of her in the future? She is already such an embarrassing identity, but he still wants to embarrass her so much...... She was really disheartened by him, and she had no illusions anymore. However, after saying that, he was able to come and give her medicine as if nothing had happened, and prepared so many delicious food for her...... What the hell did he think? What exactly does he want to do? Did he know that his capriciousness would break her down!

It's better that he doesn't come in the future. Xiyan thought dejectedly. In fact, if she was honest enough with herself, she should admit that Li Xuan's series of actions today still touched her a lot, at least, she was no longer as afraid and desperate about the future as she was when she got up this morning.
