Chapter 46: Sleepless Night
Turning his head and seeing that Zhan Cangming didn't move his chopsticks, he said: "Lord Zhan, such a big person, do you still need others to feed you for dinner?" ”
Hearing this, Zhan Cangming's earlobes began to redden, but his mouth was still as hard as a duck, he didn't spit out a word, and let out a soft hum, indicating his dissatisfaction.
Seeing him like this now, Mu Liran sighed softly, and then said: "Forget it, whether the prince likes to eat or not, my meal has been delivered anyway, and the concubine has retired." Mu Liran's tone was filled with pretended regret and reluctance, and he bent over and gestured to leave.
Zhan Cangming saw that she was leaving, so he said, "You are not allowed to go!" It's obviously a deep male voice, but for some reason this tone sounds, there is always a feeling that ordinary children are playing coquettishly. Mu Liran couldn't hold back, and laughed: "Puff hahahaha......"
Zhan Cangming saw Mu Liran smiling and leaning back together, so he instantly blushed, trying to show a little bit of the majesty of the prince, and asked, "What are you laughing at?!" ”
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, so can the prince of war tell the concubine, why do you have such a big temper?" Mu Liran couldn't help but laugh, walked over to Zhan Cangming, walked behind him slowly, held his shoulders with both hands, lowered his head in his ear, and asked deliberately in a soft tone.
Zhan Cangming already had poor resistance to Mu Liran, but now Mu Liran took the initiative to get close to him, and his already reddened cheeks were now even more red. There was some nervousness when he spoke: "This king... Cough... Does this king need a reason to lose his temper? Deliberately said this in front of her, but today he was completely embarrassed in front of Mu Liran.
"Okay, okay, whatever the prince says, does the prince need a concubine to feed the prince?" Mu Liran deliberately leaned closer, she seemed to be eager to see what interesting performance Zhan Cangming had next.
"You really didn't miss me at all these days in the palace?" Zhan Cangming avoided Mu Liran's question, but directly asked the answer to the question he wanted to know the most these days. There was no nervousness in his tone, but more expectation and uncertainty. In fact, from the moment he saw Mu Liran this morning, he wanted to ask her this question. But he was afraid. It's not that I'm afraid to hear the answer, but I'm afraid to hear the answer I don't want. He turned his face sideways and looked directly at Mu Liran, not dodging, the two of them were so close at this time that they could hear each other's breathing.
Mu Liran was silent, Zhan Cangming was also silent, and the room that was full of laughter just now instantly became silent.
Mu Liran didn't know how to answer him, it was obvious that emotional problems were not the strength of the two, and it may be because of this that they needed to go through more.
After a long time, Mu Liran finally opened his mouth: "I...... In the past few days in the palace, I often think of you, Sennar, and the maids in the house. ”
Zhan Cangming was very happy when he heard the first sentence, but when he heard Mu Liran's words, his heart twitched a little straight for some reason. herself, it turns out that in her heart, there is no difference from ordinary people.
Zhan Cangming's eyes dimmed a little, and then he spoke: "You know that what I said is not what I meant. He hoped, he wanted to hear the answer he wanted to hear.
Mu Liran was silent, and just as Mu Liran was struggling in his heart, Zhan Cangming's door was pushed open again.
"Sister Liran! I...... Yes...... Well, excuse me, am I bothering you? "The man who came was none other than Senal. She saw that Mu Liran went to deliver the meal and didn't return to the dinner table for a long time, so she was worried about whether something had happened, so she rushed over to take a look, but she didn't expect to see the ambiguous appearance of the two as soon as she pushed the door open, even if Xinar had never been in love, she knew what the two of them were doing in this posture, so she quickly closed the door.
After Senal's question, Mu Liran realized that the posture of the two of them would indeed make others misunderstand something, and his face turned red, so he didn't say anything, covered his face and hurriedly ran out.
In this huge room, only Zhan Cangming was left sitting there, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xinal, who ran out of the door, was pacing in the corridor at the moment, not knowing what to do, and was just about to go back to the dinner table when Mu Liran pulled his sleeve.
"Xenal, nothing happened to the two of us just now, don't think too much about it." Mu Liran hurriedly explained to Xenaer, but it caused Xenar to be puzzled for a while.
"You don't have to explain it to me, sister, you and that iceberg...... Ah, no, it's the prince of war, it's husband and wife, this kind of thing is normal. Sennar said to Mu Liran with a smile.
Mu Liran was stunned when he heard this. Yes, even if the two of them are not husband and wife, they are still husband and wife. But now that the two of them are like this, where is there a trace of husband and wife?
It's just that, the once ruthless self is now trapped by love, it's really ironic. Mu Liran shook his head vigorously, his face was full of exhaustion, and Senar on the side saw Mu Liran standing still alone, as if he was out of his mind. patted Mu Liran on the shoulder and reminded him that it was time to go back to eat, and Mu Liran came back to his senses and followed Sennar back to the dining place.
Mu Wan has also been worried about Mu Liran, but Senar went one step ahead, so she couldn't leave this table casually, after all, compared to them, her identity was just the dowry maid of the third princess of Mu Jin Kingdom, so naturally she couldn't go wherever she wanted, so she could only stay here and wait quietly for Mu Liran to return.
Seeing Mu Liran come in, Mu Wan couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly ran up, helped Mu Liran to sit down, and changed the cold food in the bowl for her, for fear that she would be a little uncomfortable. But Mu Liran's expression was indeed not as energetic as when she just left, Mu Wan naturally noticed it, so she lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Mu Liran's brain is very empty now, and when Mu Wan called her like this, she didn't know what to say for a while.
"It's okay...... Mu Liran adjusted his state and lowered his head to eat the meal.
This Zhan Cangming's craftsmanship is really not practiced in vain, even if it is slightly cooler now, but the color and fragrance that should be there are no less at all. Mu Liran, who didn't have much appetite, was rekindled by this meal.
Seeing Mu Liran, who was good at eating, Mu Wan's heart was also slightly relaxed, and she kept giving Mu Liran a smooth breath, for fear that she would be too anxious and choked.
And Zhan Cangming stayed alone in the house, without the anger at the beginning, the rest was quiet thinking. He was wondering, what kind of existence did he say to Mu Liyan? Is it a husband? Or is it just an ordinary friend? Zhan Cangming's eyebrows were furrowed, and now he didn't know why, as long as he thought of Mu Liran, Zhan Cangming would have a headache, and then looked at the food on the table, it turned out to be his usual favorite dishes. Although she made everything she mentioned for Mu Liran today, the meals she brought were all her favorites.
What does this mean? Does it mean that Mu Liran knows everything about himself? He thought so, and he hoped so. From the drawer, he took out a few books sent by the emperor's brother. I have loved reading since I was a child, and all books are easy to understand as soon as I read them, so I can use them for my own use and remember them in my mind. But this sentence, Zhan Cangming has reread it more than ten times, but he still can't understand the love between men and women. The method mentioned is not unused, but for Mu Liran, it doesn't seem to work. Why is that? But the competitive spirit of the war did not allow him to retreat like this. As he ate, he thought about his next move.
The day passed quickly, and it was clear that it was still the morning when I had just returned home, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to go to bed. Tonight, Mu Liran returned to his room as he had done in the War King's Mansion before, and let the wooden bowl serve him to bathe and change clothes.
One by one, the silk gauze skirt was uncovered and faded, and all that was left was a red belly pocket embroidered with peonies, the bun was untied, and three thousand green silks hung down, covering the flawless jade porcelain-like skin. Mu Wan had already adjusted the temperature of the water, sprinkled fresh rose petals in this wooden barrel, the rich aroma came to her face, and the vapor of the hot water also smoked Mu Liran's cheeks. Mu Liran carefully entered the bathtub with Mu Wan's support, took the belly pocket, revealing the white and flawless skin inside, sat down slowly, and let the green silk float in the water, the mist was swirling, maybe the water temperature was too comfortable, Mu Liran naturally closed his eyes. What a beautiful woman bathing!
Mu Wan on the side waited carefully, but looking at Mu Liran's enjoyment, she was naturally stupid. There was no movement for a while. Just then, the door opened.
"I'll sleep with you tonight...... the person who came was Zhan Cangming, and before the word "sleep" could be fully spoken, it stopped abruptly, Mu Liran was shocked when he heard Zhan Cangming's voice, and hurriedly opened his eyes and firmly covered his chest with his hands to prevent spring from appearing.
"Zhan Cangming! How did you get in! Get out! Mu Liran was ashamed and annoyed at this time, she didn't know what kind of wind this Zhan Cangming was smoking today, first the sudden tantrum before, and then the trespass into her room now. It wasn't like he could do these unstable things, but now it's happening.
"I ...... You and I are husband and wife! Why not be honest with each other? Zhan Cangming originally wanted to apologize and quickly quit the room, but he remembered what Zhan Lingxuan wrote in the book he wrote: You must not be soft-hearted when you should be tough, this sentence instantly came to confidence, and she was justifiably reluctant to go out in the room.
"You!! Wan'er, blast him out! Mu Liran turned her head, unwilling to look at him again, but Mu Wan on the side couldn't hold back her emotions for a long time, so she waited for Mu Liran's orders.
"Lord Wang, my young lady is bathing, there is a difference between men and women, Lord Wang, please." Mu Wan's face was cold, and there was a hint of fierceness in her expectations. The tone of the eviction order came from this little maid again, and Zhan Cangming was naturally angry.
"When does I, the prince, want to see my princess, and I have to get the consent of a maid?" As he spoke, Zhan Cangming prepared to move forward.
"Good! I promise to sleep with you tonight, you are not allowed to move forward!! Mu Liran heard the footsteps and panicked instantly, but he couldn't get up, so he made this decision in a hurry.
