On our wedding night, he personally sent me to the Regent's bed

Di Xiuyan: "Shouldn't you be my regent princess?"

Gu Yeran was completely stunned and looked at his cousin in disbelief.

Emperor Xiuyan sneered: "Oh, do you think that I am the same kind of person as you?"

Thinking that Mu Wanyan would marry him in a wedding gown in the future, the corners of his lips raised high.

"Taking a concubine is something only those lechers would do. This prince is not worthy of it."

Gu Yeran lowered his head and retorted in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced: "Cousin, you have scolded all the men in the world."

Isn't it normal to have three wives and four concubines?

Di Xiuyan raised his eyebrows, "How could that be? My father only married my mother."

If his parents were still alive, they would definitely be a perfect couple.

Gu Yeran: "Men marry several concubines in order to have more children."

Di Xiuyan: "Are you underestimating my ability?"

If I marry a woman, I can't have children?

Before Mu Wanyan returned to Jianjia Pavilion, she first went to the Regent's Palace.

Di Xiuyan said that he would release Xiaotao after refining the elixir, so Mu Wanyan came here specifically to take Xiaotao back.

However, she searched around the maid's residence but couldn't find Xiao Tao.

However, in the elegantly decorated guest room, he saw a plump girl wearing emerald green clothes, eating pork elbow.

"Xiao Tao?"

Mu Wanyan was a little bit unbelievable, "Xiao Tao, is that you?"

How did you become like this?

I saw that Xiaotao's pointed little face had turned into a small round plate.

Her cheeks were bulging, and even her big eyes, which were usually as lively as water, looked much smaller at this moment.

I also have a small belly.

"Master, you're here?" Seeing Mu Wanyan, Xiao Tao excitedly put down the pork elbow in her hand and jumped in front of her master.

With two shallow dimples on her face, she said happily:

"Master, you are here?"

"The people in the Prince Regent's Mansion treated me very well, and the food here is much better than that in Prince Chen's Mansion."

Her mouth was stuffed full and there were grease stains at the corners of her mouth.

Mu Wanyan gently stroked Xiaotao's head and wiped the corners of her mouth.

She has indeed gained a lot of weight, no wonder Chi Yan said she looks like a badger.

Alas, Chi Yan said that he likes slim women, so can I still be the matchmaker?

Sitting down, she took Xiao Tao's hand and said angrily, "When we were in Xichang, I didn't treat you badly, did I?"

What kind of food was not chosen by them? Good fruits and good snacks were all there.

Xiao Tao: "The master treats us very well, but the food in Xichang is not as diverse as that in Dafeng."

"Look, there are more than ten ways to cook pork elbows. The chefs in Dafeng are really amazing."

Xiao Tao touched her slightly round belly and said, "Master, Xiao Tao wants to stay in the Regent's Palace for a few more days."

In fact, she didn't want to leave.

Mu Wanyan: "Unless you marry here, you really can't stay."

"Let me ask you, Deputy General Chiyan, have you ever noticed this?"

Mu Wanyan used the timeline of her previous life to calculate that the time when Pei Mochen would kill her was getting closer and closer.

She didn't know if she could escape successfully in this life, so she wanted to find a good fate for her personal maids first.

This way, even if I die, I can feel at peace.

She couldn't go back to Xichang at all. Even if her husband died, a woman who was married to a foreign husband could not return to her country as it was against etiquette.

Xiao Tao nodded, "Yes, I have met Lord Chi Yan. He is a very good person, strong and kind-hearted, and he often helps the servants with heavy work."

Mu Wanyan was very happy after hearing Xiaotao's description.

She continued to praise with her peach blossom eyes: "Chi Yan is indeed a steady man, and he has not yet married."

"And I've already inquired about his family. Both his parents are honest people. They are a family worth trusting."

She pulled Xiaotao closer and said, "Are you interested in him? If you are, I can help you make the connection."

But you have to eat less, Lord Chi Yan likes people with slim figures.

Unexpectedly, before Mu Wanyan finished speaking, Xiao Tao looked particularly embarrassed. She stammered and replied:

"Lord Chiyan is very kind, but Xiaotao is unwilling."

"Xiao Tao has had a hard life. Her dream since she was young was to have enough food to eat."

"I don't dare to hope to marry a lord or a general. Even if I marry a sword-bearing guard, Xiao Tao doesn't dare to dream about it."

Her face was red as blood dripped out. "I just want to marry a servant, a farmhand or a groom. For example... for example, Brother Niu, the son of Madam Zhang in the kitchen. I think he is a good person."

"My food is usually sent by Big Brother Niu."

Then, fearing that Mu Wanyan would be unhappy, she quickly added: "He is in charge of cooking in the Regent's Palace, and the dishes he makes are extremely delicious."

Xiao Tao gritted her teeth and said, "My heart already belongs to him."

Mu Wanyan: "??? When did it happen?"

Xiao Tao: "After coming to the palace for two or three days, Brother Niu expressed his feelings to Xiao Tao. He brought me food every day."

Mu Wanyan understood. No wonder her little Tao had become fat.

With a smile, "Okay, since you like him, I will go and find out about his background and character for you."

"If it's appropriate, I will definitely help you achieve this."

But, could her personal maid please turn her attention to other people?

Then she should prepare more money for Xiaotao's dowry.

-

The study in the Prince Regent's Palace.

Di Xiuyan: "Is she gone?"

Chiyan: "Let's go."

Di Xiuyan: "Did you take Xiaotao away as well?"

He promised her that he would return Xiao Tao to her after refining the elixir.

Chi Yan looked at his master's lost expression and his eyes rolled around.

"Your Highness, Miss Wanyan did not take Xiaotao away. She kept Xiaotao here."

"It should be Miss Wanyan who did it on purpose. This way, every time she misses the prince, she can come to see you under the pretext of looking after Xiaotao."

Di Xiuyan's expression eased a little, but he soon said in a sarcastic tone:

"How could she possibly miss this king?"

The big hand holding the teacup clenched, "That silly girl probably doesn't even know who she consummated her marriage with that night."

Otherwise, why would he run away again and again?

A pair of sharp eyes revealed cruelty, "She must have thought that the one who consummated her marriage that night was that loser Pei Mochen!"

While Chi Yan was refilling tea for his master, he picked up the topic that Di Xiuyan liked:

"So, Master, are you just going to let it go? King Chen doesn't look like a kind person."

Di Xiuyan snorted coldly: "Does this king look like someone who is so easy to bully?"

"Pei Mochen made a wrong move."

"He wants to use me and Mu Wanyan to marry his own sister to me. He is simply dreaming."

After a long while, he added: "Pei Mochen is not worthy of my Yanyan. The three of them, mother and son, are not good people and have been involved in too many dirty things behind their backs."

Di Xiuyan frowned and thought:

For the sake of his own future, Pei Mochen actually sent his princess to someone else's bed on their wedding night.

Haha, this kind of man is no different from a beast.

Seeing that his master was in a bad mood again, Chi Yan quickly went to get the fan to fan Di Xiuyan.

"I have something I don't understand. Why did Prince Chen ask Princess Wanyan to help you detoxify, but then refused to admit it?"

"Isn't this contradictory?"

Di Xiuyan glanced at Chi Yan and smiled sarcastically. "Is this hard to imagine?"

"This prince's Yanyan is extremely beautiful. Once we meet, which man would be willing to let her go?"

That idiot must have regretted it the next day when he saw Mu Wanyan.

Chi Yan nodded repeatedly, pretending to agree.

In fact, I was muttering in my heart:

Is Mu Wanyan so pretty?

Isn’t it just whiter skin, thinner waist and bigger eyes?

She is as delicate as silk, can she do farm work?

Can you help my mother weed the cornfield in my hometown?

Can you carry the water for washing feet?

Oh, what's the point of looking good? Can it be eaten?

Seeing Chi Yan in a daze, Di Xiuyan thought that Chi Yan was currently enviing Mu Wanyan's stunning beauty, so he patted Chi Yan's head heavily.

Remind: "Mu Wanyan is your princess!"

Chi Yan: "Yes, I will remember it!"

After a moment, Di Xiuyan called Chi Yan over again, "Has Pei Mochen been copying scriptures in the palace these days? When will he return home?"

Chi Yan: "I heard that the punishments have been completed. My hands are swollen from writing, and my legs are numb from kneeling. Prince Chen should be able to return to Prince Chen's Mansion tomorrow."

Di Xiuyan gave an ambiguous smile, "Okay, then tomorrow the King will go to Prince Chen's Mansion."

"I miss that kid Wan Yan."

-

At night, the moon is bright in the sky.

Gu Yeran held the wine glass and stared at the moon in a daze.

Thinking that Wan Yan and her cousin had already consummated their marriage, and that there would never be any chance for her and herself to meet again.

Gu Yeran shed a tear, raised his glass and sighed towards the moon:

"I wanted to shine my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on Xiu Yan."

-

In the bedroom of the Regent's Palace.

Emperor Xiuyan, who looked like a banished immortal, was dressed in white and drinking alone facing the moon.

Thinking about how Mu Wanyan was being used by Pei Mochen without her knowing anything.

Thinking of her saying to me, 'Since I'm already married to King Chen, how can I accept you? '... that firm look on her face.

Feeling jealous, Di Xiuyan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Raise your glass to the moon——

"I wanted to shine my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on fools."

-

Jianjia Pavilion.

When Mu Wanyan heard that Pei Mochen would be back tomorrow, her peach blossom eyes, which had been sparkling with stars, became dim again.

"I have to fight that despicable man again. I really don't know how long I can live."

She saw Chunmei, who had been quiet for a few days, coming to give her snake venom flowers again, and arrogantly wanted to watch Mu Wanyan finish drinking it. She knew that the despicable man... would definitely come back tomorrow.

She let out a long sigh and stroked the set of women's clothing that Di Xiuyan had prepared for her - the outer robe was formal like a Taoist nun, while the inner garment was so seductive that it was unbearable to look at.

Mu Wanyan couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth. The clothes chosen by Di Xiuyan were the same as him.

In her two lifetimes, the happiest days for her in Dafeng Kingdom were the days she spent in the military camp with Di Xiuyan.

I covered my chest, feeling like I missed him a little.

Will he come tomorrow?

-

The next day.
