All the way to the capital, Yan Mu and Yu Yuan lived in peace.
Everything seems to be back to the way it was before.
Yan Mu jumped off the carriage, the wind facing him was a bit dry, not as humid as Qingshui Village.
Chu Cong brought everyone back to the mansion, while he himself went into the palace to pay his respects.
Yan Mu knew Chu Cong's identity from the beginning, so he was not surprised when he came to the second prince's mansion; Yu Yuan guessed that Chu Cong had a political background early on, and his face was calm, showing no emotional fluctuations.
The most surprised person was Father Yan.
He couldn't believe it until now, that he had become someone who ate royal meals inexplicably.
Yan Mu and Yu Yuan were temporarily placed in the guest room, while Yan's father went to Xiaoqing's father for advice on how to handle flowers and plants.
For a while, only Yan Mu and Yu Yuan were left.
There is a well in the small courtyard, and Chu Cong asked someone to freeze the watermelon in advance.
Yu Yuan fished out the watermelon, split the watermelon in half with a knife, and handed it to Yan Mu.
Yan Mu scooped it up with a small spoon and ate it.
The watermelon was cold, Yan Mu squinted his eyes, his face was full of contentment.
Yu Yuan Yan Mu was at the side.
Yan Mu was uncomfortable being stared at by him, and touched her face.
"Is there something on my face?" Yan Mu asked.
"There's a melon seed." Yu Yuan naturally took the melon seed from her lips.
Yan Mu was taken aback, and subconsciously shrank back.
Yu Yuan had a panoramic view of Yan Mu's reaction, and said calmly, "What? My brother wiped my sister's mouth, is this considered too intimate?"
"...not counting." Yan Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
She seems too sensitive.
You can't be so surprised, it's too unfair to Yu Yuan.
Yan Mu hesitated for a while, then took out a small handkerchief to wipe Yu Yuan's sweat.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Just now Yu Yuan put in a lot of effort to move the luggage and tidy up the house, Yan Mu is very grateful for his help.
"My sister wiped my brother's sweat, this is not too intimate." Yan Mu added in a low voice.
Yu Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
In a daze, the two seem to have returned to their days in Qingshui Village.
*******************
Yu Yuan didn't come to climb the bed that night.
The quilts in Mingming Mansion are soft and comfortable, and the censer is still lit with calming incense, but Yan Mu still suffers from insomnia.
Fortunately, she just passed her life, and the dark circles under her eyes are not very serious.
She was about to ask Yu Yuan to have dinner together, and knocked on the door next door, but no one answered.
"Miss Yan is looking for Mr. Yu?" Someone from behind stopped her.
Yan Mu turned her head, only to see a maidservant in pink clothes with a pretty face.
"You are?" She looked familiar, but she didn't know the name of the maid in front of her.
"My servant is a painting screen." The servant girl hurriedly said, "That day, I packed my luggage, and my servant helped in Miss Yan's room."
"It's you." Yan Mu remembered, she smiled at the painting screen: "Thank you."
Now that Yan Mu's facial features are opened, his face is more refined, and such a smile is even more beautiful.
Those who watched the screen were stunned.
She is indeed the woman brought by His Highness.
Born so beautiful, I am afraid that becoming a concubine is just around the corner.
Huaping was envious.
"Don't dare to act like that." Huaping replied: "Young Master Yu went out with His Highness early in the morning to do some business."
"Is that so..." Yan Mu felt lost, "Then did Yu Yuan say when he will come back?"
"Young Master Yu doesn't like to talk, and the servants don't dare to ask about His Highness's affairs." Huaping said.
Seeing that Yan Mu's expression was down, she hurriedly said: "My servant has just finished the work on hand, if Miss Yan is bored staying here, this servant can talk to Miss Yan."
Huaping rubbed his hands nervously.
"Okay." Yan Mu thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Then let me tell you a story?"
"Huh?" Huaping was stunned.
She thought that Yan Mu was joking, but she didn't expect that Yan Mu was really telling a story seriously.
Moreover, the subject matter of the story is very novel, something that Huaping has never heard of in Kyoto.
Huaping was fascinated by listening to it for a while, seeing that Yan Mu stopped talking, he hurriedly asked: "What happened to the fake daughter?"
"I'll talk to you tomorrow." Yan Mu said dryly.
Due to the influence of the background of the times, Yan Mu thought at first that ancient women would prefer sweet texts with emotional flow.
However, after practice, it has been found that the acceptance of the heroine's face-slapping Shuangwen is also very high.
Sure enough, Su Shuangtian is king no matter what era he is in.
Yan Mu sighed.
"Huaping, call a few more sisters over tomorrow, and I'll tell you a story." Yan Mu said cheerfully.
"Miss Yan, how did this happen?" Huaping was flattered, "How can I listen to your stories for nothing?"
"Chu...His Royal Highness will open a bookstore in a few days, and some books are specially for girls." Yan Mu hurriedly said, "I will tell you about the books I plan to sell. If you particularly dislike or don't understand Yes, if you say it boldly, it can be regarded as doing His Highness a great favor."
After all, web writing is something from another world.
Yan Mu is still worried about the generation gap.
"I'll take care of your Highness first, so I won't let the mother-in-law scold you for being lazy." Yan Mu added.
"Okay." Huaping nodded.
She reluctantly prepared to go back, walked halfway, but turned back again.
"Miss Yan, you are Young Master Yu's younger sister." Huaping shyly asked, "Then do you know Young Master Yu...does Young Master Yu have someone he admires?"
"Huh?" Yan Mu was stunned.
Well, she said why Huaping was so enthusiastic, so she fell in love with Yu Yuan.
For a moment, she felt a little strange.
But she remembered what she had said to Yu Yuan, and sighed again.
She is the author and a bystander who witnessed Yu Yuan's brilliant life.
She could be Yu Yuan's friend, or Yu Yuan's younger sister.
But it is impossible to be Yu Yuan's lover.
She is going home.
Therefore, Yan Mu made an ugly smile, and said to Huaping: "No, he doesn't like anyone."
"Very good."
Huaping was overjoyed, not noticing that Yan Mu's expression was not right at all.
"Miss Yan, do you know what Mr. Yu likes to eat?" Huaping continued his efforts.
Yu Yuan likes to eat steamed eggs.
But Yan Mu opened his mouth, but he was still unable to utter these words.
So she shook her head and said to Huaping: "... I don't know either."
"It's all right, thank you, Miss Yan." Huaping left happily.
After Huaping left, Yan Mu sat alone on the swing under the tree in a daze.
Obviously Yu Yuan is getting better and better, and there are even people who admire him.
But why is she unhappy
Yan Mu sighed and ate the leftover iced watermelon depressedly.
*******************
Yu Yuan came back very late, with a faint fishy smell on his body.
The light in Yan Mu's room was still on, Yu Yuan was afraid that Yan Mu would smell his body, so he went to his room lightly to take a shower before coming out.
With damp all over his body, he knocked on Yan Mu's door.
Yan Mu rubbed his eyes and came over to open the door in a daze.
"...So you're already asleep?" Yu Yuan's expression froze slightly, and a glimmer of light flickered in his eyes.
"No, I'm waiting for you to go home." Yan Mu tried to open his eyes wide.
She lay on the table waiting for Yu Yuan to come back, and accidentally fell asleep while waiting.
"I couldn't sleep yesterday, and I'm not in a good mood today, so I got sleepy after waiting." Yan Mu asked Yu Yuan to enter the room, and poured him a glass of water himself.
Yu Yuan took the water and drank it slowly.
"You don't have to wait for me in the future, I'll be busy for a while." Yu Yuan said.
Yan Mu shook his head, looked at Yu Yuan and said seriously: "I have to wait."
She is the author, and she knows how dangerous what Yu Yuan did under Chu Cong's hands.
She couldn't sleep without seeing the living Yu Yuan come back.
Yu Yuan's hand holding the cup froze, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
He quickly disappeared his smile, and changed the subject: "I'm going to Tai Hospital tomorrow, how about getting you some incense to help you sleep."
He lowered his eyes, his facial features were buried in the shadows, Yan Mu couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Okay." Yan Mu didn't think much, and readily accepted Yu Yuan's proposal.
Yu Yuan slightly turned his face away, and in a place where Yan Mu couldn't see, he suddenly showed an extremely weird smile.
It was as if a wild beast had locked on its prey and vowed to devour it alive and wipe it clean.
*****************
The next day, Yu Yuan still came back very late.
His black hair stood up high, and his clothes were dressed in expensive brocade. His red lips were slightly pursed, and he clearly had a pair of affectionate eyes, but his eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion.
Yu Yuan's figure is very good, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, with a graceful tree facing the wind.
At first glance, he doesn't look like Chu Cong's subordinate, but more like a noble son in the capital.
Yu Yuan didn't have to do anything, as long as he stood there, he could attract the attention of all women.
He came to the small courtyard, looked at the dim candlelight in Yan Mu's room and smiled.
The ice in his eyes instantly melted and turned into warm spring water.
Holding a box of spices, Yu Yuan was about to knock on the door of Yan Mu's room when someone suddenly blocked him.
"Amu?"
The person in front of him was dressed in pink, about the same size as Yan Mu.
Yu Yuan tightened his hand holding the spice, and his complexion softened immediately.
Why did Ah Mu come to him so late
Could it be that Amu misses him
Yu Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he was about to speak, but he sensed something was wrong.
"You're not Yan Mu." His tone turned cold instantly.
Yan Mu is blind at night, how could he come out and run around at night.
Could it be that who knew his thoughts on Yan Mu and wanted to use this weakness to make trouble
Yu Yuan's gaze became sharp instantly.
The person in front of her didn't know anything about it, so she raised her head shyly and handed Yu Yuan a food box.
Yu Yuan just watched coldly and didn't pick it up.
"Master Yu, I'm Huaping." Huaping didn't dare to look at Yu Yuan, and quickly lowered his head.
Her hand holding the food box froze in mid-air, seeing that Yu Yuan didn't pick it up, she felt a little disappointed.
However, when she remembered that Yu Yuan had no one she liked, she immediately summoned up her courage again.
She opened the food box, and inside were spicy chicken diced and boiled pork slices.
"Master Yu, this is a spicy dish I made with shabu-shabu fruit." Huaping heard that both Yu Yuan and Yan Mu were from the south.
The humidity in the south is heavy, you should love chili, right
After all, Huaping looked at Yu Yuan expectantly.
Who knows that Yu Yuan still didn't take the food box, but instead looked at her carefully.
Finally, his eyes stopped on the pink shirt on the painting screen.
Disgust flashed in Yu Yuan's eyes, and he opened his mouth and said, "Take it off."
"Ah?" Huaping's face was blushing, and he raised his head to look at Yu Yuan in disbelief, "Master Yu, what did you say?"
Yu Yuan turned his head away, and repeated word by word: "You take off your clothes."
