Concubine falling from heaven

Chapter 33

"Han'er! Where did you fall?" Mu Xuanchen asked anxiously.

Mu Xuanchen pursed his thin lips slightly, and reached out to hug her horizontally.

"Wait a minute!" she yelled suddenly.

"You want to just lie here like this?" He raised his eyebrows and asked confidently.

Meng Zihan looked at himself, too, if he left, he would have to lie on the cold ground for a while, and Caiyun would not dare to come in without his permission.

Biting her lips, she glanced at him with a blushing face and said softly, "Then close your eyes."

Mu Xuanchen looked at Meng Zihan speechlessly, and finally had to admit defeat and close his eyes.

"Put the clothes on me." Meng Zihan began to instruct him.Mu Xuanchen exhaled a burst of hot air from his nose, and he had never seen someone who was married and not allowed to touch her husband.

It's polite for him to move his hands and feet.I will endure!
"Then listen to me. Raise your hand, and then come a foot towards me, okay! The clothes are about half a foot below your hand." Meng Zihan kept his eyes open, and asked Pay attention to whether his hands follow her directions.

"Don't open your eyes yet." Feeling that Mu Xuanchen wanted to open his eyes, Meng Zihan jumped anxiously.

Mu Xuanchen closed his eyes obediently, but when he turned around, he left an ambiguous sentence: "It's not like I haven't seen it!"

"You... You don't talk and no one treats you as dumb." If there was a hole in front of her now, she would definitely get into it.

But after waiting for a long time, I only heard the rustling of clothes behind me.

"Is it all right?" Mu Xuanchen lost his patience.

"Okay, okay!" Meng Zihan was obviously a little embarrassed.

Turning around and looking at the clothes she was wearing, Mu Xuanchen sighed softly.She didn't know why she was so nervous, she even buttoned her unlined clothes wrongly.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Mu Xuanchen's demonic hand attacking, Meng Zihan crossed his arms and hugged his chest, as if he was guarding against a lewd dog.

Mu Xuanchen ignored her defensive eyes, pulled her over with one hand and helped her button up again.

The heart is beating irregularly again, heart, heart, what's wrong with you, why do you beat so embarrassingly every time you get close to him?
"Then you have a good rest!" Seeing her deliberately averted eyes, Mu Xuanchen knew that he shouldn't stay.

The sense of loss in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.

"Hello!" Seeing him turn and leave, Meng Zihan touched his left atrium and suddenly stopped him, "Uh... my lord!"

"What's the matter?" When he turned around, he had already changed into a calm expression.

"There's something... I want to ask you." Unsure in my heart, I always wanted to ask clearly, but I didn't know how to ask.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Meng Zihan bit his lip and struggled for a moment before asking, "Why do you want to marry me?"

When he said this, Meng Zihan didn't dare to look at his expression, kept his head down, afraid of seeing his disdain, but in order to reassure himself, he had to ask.

She thinks that she is just a person of unknown origin, and she is not in the right family with him at all, and she has not been with him for a long time.It is impossible to say that he married her because he liked her, because he had never said such a thing to her.

Mu Xuanchen's thick eyebrows slowly frowned towards the center of his brows, his slightly pursed lips trembled slightly, but he hesitated to speak.

Is she expressing her reluctance, unwillingness?
Turning around abruptly, he said insincere words: "This king is not a person who has done wrong things. Since you are already my king's person, I will naturally be responsible for you."

It turned out to be like this, it's really ridiculous, just now I still felt like a deer bumping my heart.

In this case, if you leave here in the future, there is nothing to miss.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if the lord is not responsible. I was responsible for that day." There was a sense of relief in his words, but his hands were tightly clutching the quilt.

Mu Xuanchen's expression, which was originally as calm as water, became heavier and colder at this moment.The hand behind her clenched her fist tightly, and without answering her words, she turned around and quietly left the room.

snort!What are you dragging, it's a good thing my old lady didn't stay here all her life, otherwise seeing your face every day would be a nightmare every day.

Meng Zihan pouted at Mu Xuanchen's leaving back.

As soon as Mu Xuanchen went out, Caiyun immediately walked in.

"Princess! Are you okay?" Caiyun asked softly.Hearing Meng Zihan's scream just now, he wanted to come in immediately, but when he thought that Mu Xuanchen was in the room, he felt relieved.

"It's okay!" Meng Zihan smiled.

Caiyun looked at her and asked, "Does the princess want to take a break?"

"No, I just fell down a bit, and it's much better now." Lying all day, the bones are about to fall apart.

Caiyun helped her to the dressing table, and while helping Meng Zihan to dress up, she secretly glanced at her from time to time.

"What do you want to say?" Meng Zihan could see her thoughts at a glance.

"The slave girl didn't seem very happy to see the prince just now." Caiyun said looking at Meng Zihan in the mirror.

Not happy?Meng Zihan froze for a moment, but then said casually, "Isn't he always like this? There's nothing to make a fuss about."

"Okay, I'm thirsty now." In order not to be swayed by Caiyun's nagging, Meng Zihan immediately interrupted Caiyun's words.

"Yes! This servant will pour tea for you." Caiyun knew that she couldn't listen to anything now, so she had no choice but to turn around and pour tea for her.

"Look, princess!"

Caiyun suddenly yelled excitedly, and Meng Zihan followed curiously, only to see her holding a bunch of candied haws in her hand and smiling at her.

"Candied haws?" Meng Zihan wondered for a moment, "Why? Did Xiaohai buy it for you?"

"Princess!" Cai Yun's voice was full of coquettish anger, "I found this on the table."

"On the table? I remember I didn't have this in the morning!" I couldn't figure it out, how could there be a bunch of candied haws inexplicably?

Caiyun took Meng Zihan's hand, put the candied haws in her hand and said with a smile: "In my servant's opinion, the prince must have specially bought it for the princess."

Did he buy it for me?
Meng Zihan was suspicious for a while.I did buy it and eat it when I went out with him last time, but...will he remember such a small thing?Or did you buy it because you felt guilty about what happened last night?
Why!Don't think about it too much.

As night fell, there was silence outside Zimeng Pavilion, Caiyun had been sent to sleep by Meng Zihan, but there was no sign of Mu Xuanchen at the door.

Meng Zihan was insomnia lying on the bed.Since I came here, I suffered from insomnia at first, but this situation has never happened since then.Thinking about it carefully, the reason why she doesn't suffer from insomnia is that...he is beside her!
crazy crazy!Meng Zihan kicked wildly under the quilt.

How could he not be able to sleep without him?I must be thinking too much, maybe I can fall asleep by closing my eyes, or maybe... just counting sheep.

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep... a hundred sheep!
Why can't I still fall asleep?And...it's so cold!The quilt is like an ice cellar, without a trace of heating.Was it because it wasn't so cold before?Why do I feel so cold today even when I lie in bed?

He poked his head out from under the quilt, and said to himself with a sad face: "Give me the air conditioner, give me the electric blanket, even give me a hot water bottle! Hey..." Finally, there was another wail.

Before she knew it, her gaze was fixed on the door again. What was she expecting?Isn't this what she wants?

However, when she saw the stove, she unconsciously thought of that day...

In the study

"Master! Let's go to bed early, it's already midnight, be careful if you get tired." Xiao Hai advised from the side.

Mu Xuanchen put down the book in his hand, and looked out the window, it was really dark outside.

Walking out of the study, looking up at the sky, the sky is covered with dark clouds, not a single star can be seen.

The mood is inexplicably low and heavy.

Seeing him standing straight outside the door and just looking at the sky quietly, Xiao Hai said softly, "Master! It's colder tonight, let's go back to the room to rest."

yes!It's colder tonight.Mu Xuanchen frowned involuntarily.

She has always been afraid of the cold. Every day when she goes to sleep, her hands and feet are cold and it is difficult to fall asleep. Only by holding her and warming her hands and feet can she fall asleep peacefully.

She is also most afraid of the dark, at night, she will be afraid when there is no one around.

Thinking of this, Mu Xuanchen stepped towards Zimeng Pavilion.

Sure enough, it was still lit from inside.

"The concubine must be waiting for the master." Looking at the candlelight shining inside, Xiao Hai was obviously a little excited.

Yeah?Are you waiting for me?There was a slight smile on his mouth.

Walking to the door, Xiao Hai wanted to help Mu Xuanchen open the door, but was stopped by Mu Xuanchen.Xiao Hai looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was thinking.But the raised hand was still put down, and he stood sideways.

Mu Xuanchen stood outside the door for a while, the smile on his mouth gradually disappeared.

There was no sound in it, so she must have fallen asleep.

Why was he confused again, the candle was only on because she was afraid of the dark, how could it be because she was waiting for him?
During the day, her words still ring in my ears.

She didn't like him touching her, and even felt disgusted.

The expression on his face was a little stiff, and he didn't have the courage to push the door open.

Before he got her, he could do everything possible to pull her to his side, but when he got her, he became cautious again, afraid that she would slip away from his hands.Perhaps, he shouldn't be in such a hurry and should give her some time.

After struggling, he quietly turned and left.

"Master!" Seeing Mu Xuanchen leave, Xiao Hai called softly for no reason, but Mu Xuanchen's footsteps did not stop.

The night before yesterday, he didn't see Mu Xuanchen until he fell asleep, and today he didn't see him after half a day, Meng Zihan felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Could she really be as miserable as the women in the ancient harem?
Once at the side of the companion, until the confidante grows old, waiting for life in vain.

It can't be so miserable, can it?

But... what is she waiting for?

wrong!If he didn't come, how could she go back?
Meng Zihan lay quietly on the deck chair basking in the sun without saying a word, these ancient days were really boring.Caiyun, on the other hand, shielded her face from the sun with a fan, for fear of sunburning her.

"Caiyun." He lazily called out to Caiyun.

"Here!" Caiyun's voice was always so soft, not like a maid but like a young lady.

"Back then he...I mean the lord, who was there when the lord brought me back?" Meng Zihan asked casually, because he didn't have much hope at all.

"I heard from Xiao Hai that he was also there at the time."

"Xiao Hai?" Meng Zihan jumped up from the reclining chair excitedly as he asked the question carelessly. "Then where is he now?"

Caiyun looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what she wanted to do, but she still replied: "I should be in the study with my master."

"In the study again? This prince is in the study except for going to court. Does he have nothing else to do? What a workaholic and nerd." Meng Zihan curled his lips in disdain.

Caiyun chuckled and said: "Our prince is indeed not like other princes. He never goes to romantic places, and only cares about government affairs every day, and of course..." Halfway through speaking, she smiled mischievously at Mengzihan Did not go on.

Meng Zihan knew what she was referring to, but he didn't want to think about it, so he chased Caiyun and started playing around.

"Hey! Isn't this Xiao Hai? Hurry up and call him over." Meng Zihan stopped playing.

"Princess, what's the purpose of calling the servant?" Xiao Hai asked suspiciously after being called by Caiyun.

"Xiao Hai, come here." Meng Zihan pulled Xiao Hai to sit at the stone table regardless of his image, and then asked slyly, "Xiao Hai, I'm asking you, you must answer honestly."

"Princess, please, Xiao Hai must know everything and say everything." Xiao Hai kept flattering.

Hearing this, Meng Zihan excitedly felt that there was hope, and hurriedly asked: "Xiao Hai, where did you and the prince find me?"

Xiao Hai, who was smiling all over his face, turned into a troubled face, with his head hanging down, his hands clenched, and one foot began to move outwards. Psychologically speaking, this is an expression of escape.

It seems that he knows it, but he just doesn't want to say it.

"This...slave forgot."

"You have such a good memory, how could you forget it?" Gui Caixin, it wasn't a few years ago, how could you forget it.

"Princess, don't compare yourself to a slave. The prince won't let you say it. If anyone tells it, he will kill him." The stool couldn't sit still, and she stood up in panic.

Meng Zihan also got up and stared at Xiao Hai with half-closed eyes, and said through the gap between his teeth: "Who told me just now that you will know everything and talk endlessly?"

"This...except for this matter, the other slaves will definitely tell the truth." Xiao Hai said and made a gesture of swearing.

I was so angry that I couldn't get anywhere, and approached step by step in a rage: "Aside from this, I have nothing else to ask, and I'm not interested in knowing anything else."

"Then when the princess is interested in knowing other things, Xiao Hai will definitely tell the princess everything." Accidentally bumping into Meng Zihan's warning eyes, Xiao Hai hastily tried a way to get away, "That's right! The prince just told the servant to go over immediately after finishing the work, but the servant left first."

"Hey!" Meng Zihan didn't have time to ask, Xiao Hai had already fled without a trace, "Dead Xiao Hai, I'm so mad!"

Mu Xuanchen is helping the emperor deal with the civil disturbance in Ganlin County.Suddenly, Xiao Hai ran in in a hurry, looked up and saw that he seemed to be running away from someone.

Seeing him sweating profusely in winter and looking flustered, he asked, "What happened?" His tone still reflected his calm character.

"Yes... just now the concubine asked the servant for questioning."

"What did he ask you?" Xiao Hai has been with him for so long, and he is very tactful in handling things. He has never seen him being so nervous when asked, unless...

"The princess asked the servant where the prince and the servant found her."

As expected, he expected her to think about leaving all the time.

The hand holding the pen froze instantly, but the sadness on his face was fleeting.

The pen was stained with ink, and he asked lightly: "Then did you say it?"

"The slave dare not say that, isn't he afraid that the prince will kill the slave, ha ha." Xiao Hai laughed triumphantly.

"You go out first." Mu Xuanchen said coldly.

"Yes!" Looking at his expression, he knew that he was in a bad mood, Xiao Hai didn't understand what he said wrong, but to be on the safe side, it's better to go out obediently first.

Hearing that Xiao Hai had gone out and closed the door with his eyes closed, Mu Xuanchen put down his pen, propped his elbows on the table, and rubbed his temples with his fingers.

He didn't know if it was too selfish of him to do so, he had no right to deprive her of the right to go home, but if he was to let go...it was impossible.

Mu Xuanchen was alone again for today's dinner, facing the table full of dishes, he completely lost his appetite.

Xiao Hai went to invite Meng Zihan, but she said she was not in the mood.Mu Xuanchen thought that maybe it was because he didn't want to eat at the same table with him, or maybe he didn't get the wind out of Xiaohai today, which caused his lack of interest.

Putting down the chopsticks, someone removed the dishes from the table, walked into the courtyard and stood with his hands behind his back, looking a little preoccupied.

Ye Feng stood behind him and looked at his back very puzzled. Looking at Xiao Hai, he just shrugged helplessly.But the north wind is howling here, if you stand for a long time, you may get sick, so you stepped forward and asked: "Master! It's windy here, why don't you... go back to your room to rest?"

Mu Xuanchen just meditated quietly, and didn't intend to go back to his room.

"My lord, tomorrow is the day when my lord and my concubine return home for three dynasties, so let's go to bed early." Ye Feng advised.

Meng Zihan has no natal family here, so the emperor authorized her to use the imperial palace as her natal family. Because of the auspicious time, she chose the "Luoxian Pavilion" when she left the pavilion.

To others, this is a supreme honor, but to Meng Zihan, it is nothing more than a shackle.

"Have you gone to remind the princess? Tell her that tomorrow is the day when the Three Dynasties will return." Mu Xuanchen asked.

Ye Feng and Xiao Hai looked at each other and said in unison: "Not yet."

"Send someone to tell her, otherwise she will be late again tomorrow."

"My lord...won't you go to the concubine's place today?" Xiao Hai asked tentatively.I walked to the door yesterday and didn't go in. I don't know if he will go today.

"I'm not going." As soon as the words finished, Mu Xuanchen walked towards his "Tianao Pavilion".

"What's the matter, my lord?" Ye Feng asked softly.

"I don't know, that day I happily bought a bunch of candied haws for the princess, but after I came out from the princess's place, it became like this." Xiao Hai said helplessly.

Ye Feng smiled and said: "It seems that the only one who can make our master worry so much is the princess."

Early in the morning, Mu Xuanchen was ready to go, but after waiting at the door for a long time, Meng Zihan did not come over. Thinking about it, Meng Zihan was the only one who could let him, the King of Chen, wait in the whole world.

"Grandpa... Grandpa..." Xiaohai called while running.

"Is the princess coming?" Mu Xuanchen asked.

Xiao Hai ran up to him, panting and replied: "Princess Wang is still asleep, Caiyun can't cry no matter what, and the servant can't do anything about it."

What on earth is she trying to do?Don't you even want to do the last etiquette of getting married?
"Master! Why don't you go and have a look?" Ye Feng asked tentatively.

"You stay here, this king will go over."

Arriving at the entrance of Zimeng Pavilion, the door was open, Mu Xuanchen hesitated for a while and walked in.

"Princess! You just listen to Caiyun once, get up quickly, today is the return of the Three Dynasties!"

"Well...you've said it several times, and I've told you several times, I have no relatives here, so why go back! The imperial palace is not my natal family." There was laziness in the voice.

It seems that she is playing childish temper again, and she is still like a child after being married.Mu Xuanchen shook his head helplessly.

With a sad face, Caiyun continued to persuade her with good words: "My good princess, don't make things difficult for Caiyun, the prince is waiting outside."

At this time, Mu Xuanchen quietly walked behind Caiyun, but Caiyun and Meng Zihan didn't realize that there was already another person in the room.

Meng Zihan broke down and kicked the bed and cried out in pain: "Oh my God! You are so annoying, I want to sleep. You should also save some energy, what prince is waiting for me to go over, thanks to you for making it up."

"It's true, this servant didn't lie to the concubine." Caiyun nodded with certainty.

But Meng Zihan hugged the pillow with a listless look: "He doesn't really want to marry me, and it doesn't matter to him whether he returns home or not."

"How could it be! It's a big deal for the prince to marry the princess. If the prince didn't like the princess, how could he marry the princess?"

"He... Hey! You don't understand even if I tell you! Get out!" Meng Zihan hesitated to speak.

Caiyun is at the end of her words, she has run out of words, she really has no choice but to invite the prince over.

When she got up and turned around, she found that Mu Xuanchen was standing a few feet behind her, and she screamed in fright.

Mu Xuanchen waved her to go down.

Caiyun was finally able to retreat completely, and left with a soft smile.Room.

"I won't be fooled, so don't worry about it!" Just now when Caiyun called "Prince", Meng Zihan thought she did it on purpose, so he closed his eyes and ignored it.

Mu Xuanchen looked at Meng Zihan without saying a word.

Cold!It's not that I didn't really want to marry you, but that you didn't really want to marry me, did you?
A trace of loneliness flashed across Mu Xuanchen's eyes.

Slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down quietly, looking at her side face, couldn't help reaching out to caress her.

A familiar feeling spread across Meng Zihan's face, and a trace of warmth penetrated into her heart.This sudden feeling reminded her of him...

is it possible?
Think about being a dignified concubine, being snubbed by the prince on the second day of the wedding, although it is not like throwing away, but this is no different from a concubine in the cold palace. People say that they will not cherish what they can get soon, which is really true. That's right.

I don't know where he spent the night before!

Turning her head and looking slowly towards the bed, Mu Xuanchen's stern face suddenly appeared in her line of sight, and her heart trembled.And his eyes had already returned to normal from loneliness the moment she turned her head back.

She was pleasantly surprised at first, but when she thought about the past few days, Meng Zihan immediately turned her head to the other side.

"What are you doing here?" Meng Zihan said angrily.

"Stop making trouble, get up quickly, today is the day of returning home for three dynasties, and I have to enter the palace to meet the emperor." She couldn't bear to blame, her tone was full of pampering.

"Anyway, it's the same with me or without me, you can just find someone to go!" Meng Zihan kept talking angrily.

To her surprise, Mu Xuanchen didn't fly into a rage as she expected, but a deep voice came out, the tone was still so steady.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are the one I married. Where do you want me to find a princess to enter the palace?" As she spoke, she smoothed the messy black hairs on her cheeks behind her ears.
