Chapter 442: The Warmth of the Morning
The blue-purple of the night faded, a glimmer of light tore through the darkness, dawn dawned, and everything revived.
A drop of dew slowly condensed on the rose petals, the rich and intoxicating rose fragrance soaked in the dew, the phoenix butterfly hidden in the branches and resting fluttered its wings, and flew a few times in a daze, before landing on the red rose petals, as if tasting the drop of dew soaked in the fragrance of flowers.
The cascading pale gold veil swept through the side of Nan Zuisheng's face with the breeze, and she looked around at the luxurious and extravagant decorations around her, as well as the dazzling treasures on the Eight Treasures Exquisite Pavilion, and her heart suddenly felt a little reluctant. This is the inner hall of the imperial palace specially arranged by Xu Shen for her, adding jade cherry blossom bonsai that many women love, a dressing table with elaborate carvings, and a chaise longue covered with brocade snow foxes.
One of the most eye-catching is a tassel hairpin placed on the green sandalwood low table, which is carefully carved and polished by a whole piece of pale pink crystal, which is a cherry blossom blooming style, and the tassels of different lengths fall from the cherry blossom stamens, which are also carved with pale pink crystal, but it is just the style of cherry blossom petals.
It may not be the most precious and rare treasure in the whole palace, but it is the deepest and most beautiful gift. When Xu Shen gave this cherry blossom hairpin to Nan Zuisheng to wear, Nan Zuisheng had not yet realized his intentions, and when she realized Xu Shen's intentions, she returned the cherry blossom hairpin to Xu Shen.
At that time, Xu Shen's expression and words Nan Zuisheng had gradually forgotten, leaving only a vague light and shadow in his mind, but when Xu Shen received the cherry blossom hairpin returned to Nan Zuisheng, the whole person seemed to have received some huge blow, and then his back could not hide his lonely and sad walk out of the palace.
Originally, Nan Fusheng planned to take Nan Zuisheng out of the palace yesterday, but after the palace feast, the attendants in the royal family received orders from the king and the queen, so they did not let Nan Fusheng and Nan Zuisheng go. Because as a distinguished guest from Xuan Kingdom, if the royal family of Sakura Kingdom let the two of them leave the palace like this, wouldn't they have a reputation for being snub and arrogant?
So in desperation, Nan Fusheng and Nan Zuisheng can only spend one night again in the palace of the Sakura Kingdom, among which Nan Zuisheng's status is particularly valuable, and he still lives in the palace, although it is a little unruly, but considering that if he can marry such a noble and stunning woman as Nan Zuisheng and become His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the emperor and queen did not hesitate for half a minute, and nodded very happily in agreement.
Xu Shen, as the crown prince of the Sakura Kingdom, lives in the side hall. The inner hall in the side hall and the main hall are separated by three walls, speaking of which these palace-style residences are also complicated in design, Nan Zuisheng was always dazzled by these outer halls and inner halls when he first came to the Sakura Imperial Palace, and in the end, it was the summer evening and the clerk who often followed her to serve her, which avoided dizzying himself again.
Because the time of one night is already the limit of Nanfusheng, when the hour and minute hands on the gilt floor clock point to the number 8 at the same time, Nanfusheng can't wait to enter the palace. At this time, Nan Zuisheng just got up to wash, and his long hair was wet and draped behind him, and Xia Wan was holding a white coral velvet towel to absorb water and wipe Nan Zuisheng's long hair.
"Baby." Even if Xia Wan and Clerical were in the palace, Nan Fusheng's affectionate name for Nan Zuisheng was still naturally revealed. He lifted the beaded curtain that hung down the outer hall, and stepped over the threshold to look at Nan Zuisheng, who was sitting in front of the dresser and tidying up his appearance.
Hearing Nan Fusheng's sweet affection for the girl, Xia Wan and the clerk looked at each other and hooked the corners of their lips, the two of them were very envious of the relationship between the eldest lady and this Mr. Nan, before they were still thinking in their hearts, probably only a man with a gorgeous face and a graceful and elegant temperament like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be worthy of Miss Nan.
But when Nan Fusheng rushed from Xuanguo to visit the sleeping Miss Nanda, Xia Wan and the clerk realized that they were wrong, although Xu Shen's appearance and bearing are rare in the world, but compared with Nan Fusheng, who is handsome and beautiful, and is not angry and arrogant, it is not inferior after all.
What's more, Xu Shen, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Sakura Kingdom, will inevitably have three wives and four concubines after ascending the throne in the future, after all, it is a matter of course for the king to accept concubines, even if Nan Zuisheng's status is supreme and noble, he still has to face the situation of sharing a husband with many women.
And Nanfusheng will not.
Xia Wan and Wenwen knew Nan Fusheng's identity and status, although he did not have the actual title of an emperor, when this handsome man was already an uncrowned king. The innate demeanor and bearing are enough to deter many women with bad intentions, and Nan Fusheng's feelings for Miss Nanda are also in their eyes, which can be described as meticulous, and they can't wait to crush Miss Nanda into their own blood and bones.
It is the luck of Miss Nanda to get such a man's unswerving love, and it is also the luck of his life to be able to get a beautiful, intelligent and gentle woman like Miss Nanda. Xia Wan and the clerk could see that Nan Fusheng really gave his whole heart to Miss Nanda, and this alone was something His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not do.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince --- Xu Shen, and he has to face not only these things, but also the entire Sakura Country. His future is to become the next monarch, so managing the country well is the most important responsibility in his life, as for his wife...... Perhaps for a man in the royal family, his wife is no different from a bargaining chip in the struggle for power.
Because no matter who they really like, the only person they want to marry in the end can only be a daughter of a noble birth and a prominent family, including Xu Shen. Xu Shen's future wife has actually been selected for a long time, that is, a daughter among the famous nobles, it is said that she is gentle and polite, and has a smart mind, and is a woman who is very suitable for managing the harem.
Her Royal Highness the Queen and Her Majesty also summoned the young lady, and in the end, even Her Royal Highness the Queen said that the young lady was calm and gentle, dignified and virtuous, and was the best candidate for Her Royal Highness the future Crown Princess, and His Majesty also agreed to let the young lady become the future Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and Her Royal Highness the Queen who manages the harem.
This is a marriage that Xu Shen has already arranged, and it cannot be changed and disobeyed, because the wife of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can only be a noble daughter with a distinguished family background. But when Nan Zuisheng came to Sakura Country, it seemed that many things had been quietly changed, and Xia Wan and Wen even heard the emotion of Her Royal Highness the Empress with their own ears.
Her Royal Highness the Empress sighed at the time: "If you can marry Miss Nanda as your wife, even if the palace immediately gives up the throne now, and Your Majesty will be willing and unbegged even if she immediately gives up the throne now." It's just a pity that Miss Nanda's family background is too prominent, and I'm afraid that people may not be able to see it deeply. ”
The information revealed in these words almost blew up Xia Wan and the clerk, you know, to make Her Royal Highness the Supreme Queen so emotional, and willing to give up the throne and ask for it, it is enough to show how noble and glorious Miss Nanda's status is, and even surpass Her Royal Highness the current Queen.
But in the same way, they can also hear a little bit of the meaning of asking for nothing from Her Royal Highness the Queen's emotion, especially the last sentence--- I am afraid that people may not be able to see it deeply. A woman who even the noble crown prince of Sakura Country can't look down on, how noble and glorious she should be, this is something that Xia Wan and the clerk can't think of.
Although they hope that Miss Nanda will marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, when Nan Fusheng comes to Sakura Province to visit and take care of Miss Nanda, who is sleeping unconscious, they gradually dispel this idea. Even though Miss Nanda's status is illustrious and glorious, such a delicate and fragile, intelligent and beautiful woman should be pampered by a man like Nan Fusheng, instead of marrying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and becoming a tired crown princess.
Although the royal family is extravagant and luxurious, with fine clothes and fine food, Nan Fusheng can also bring Miss Nanda the wealth and leisurely life of those flashy ayaluo, and Nan Fusheng does not need to be like Xu Shen, to ascend to the throne in the future, and to accept countless concubines to reproduce, he only needs to pamper and love Miss Nanda for a lifetime.
Xia Wan and the clerk sincerely hope that Nan Zuisheng can live happily, they don't approve of Nan Zuisheng becoming Xu Shen's wife in their hearts, although the status of the crown princess and Her Royal Highness the queen is honorable, but life is really not very happy and stable, and they have to share their husbands with the women next to them.
Whenever they think of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince--- Xu Shen will accept a concubine in the future, Xia Wan and the clerk become more and more determined to create opportunities for Nan Fusheng, they don't want a woman like Miss Nan to end up in the same lonely and desolate as Her Royal Highness the Queen, they only hope that Miss Nanda can be a couple for the rest of her life.
One life and one couple, this condition is actually the simplest, but it is something that Xu Shen cannot achieve in his entire life.
It stands to reason that outsiders are forbidden to enter the palace, but now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not there, the palace is dominated by the two purple-clothed maids Xia Wan and the clerk, and after they let Nan Fusheng come in, they quietly bowed down and retreated, among which Xia Wan also put a refreshing new coral velvet towel on Nan Zuisheng's shoulders very intimately, so as not to cause discomfort when the damp long hair penetrates the clothes.
Nan Fusheng walked behind Nan Zuisheng, only to see the girl's face reflected in the dressing mirror as beautiful as a hibiscus out of the green waves, the eyebrows and eyes are indescribably beautiful and fragrant, the eyes are like a rippling lake, just a shallow eye, it instantly makes Nan Fusheng feel infatuated, as if instantly intoxicated in the pool full of blooming hibiscus.
"Are you here, have you had breakfast?" Seeing Nan Fusheng in the dressing mirror, Nan Zuisheng smiled and bent her eyes, she was combing her long hair little by little with an ivory comb, but because the long hair that had just been washed was difficult to manage, and there were many tangled and knotted places, she was very slow and laborious.
With long eyebrows like smoke from a distant mountain, Nan Zuisheng said hello, lowered his eyes and put down the ivory comb with some deflatedness, and instead went to disassemble the place where the knots were entangled. Looking at the girl's cute little appearance of anger and helplessness, Nan Fusheng hooked his lips and chuckled, and then sat down beside Nan Zuisheng and picked up the gilt ivory comb.
He untied the long tangled hair with his eyes, and replied softly with his lips: "Well, I've had breakfast, I don't need to ask you and I know that the little lazy pig must not have had breakfast now, and it already surprises me that you can get up at eight o'clock today." At this point, Nan Fusheng raised his eyes and glanced at Nan Zuisheng with a smile, with an expression that I knew you would be like this.
