After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

Nanfu.

Nan Yuan was discussing household management strategies with her mother when Nan Jiamu came back in a hurry.

"Mo'er, why are you sweating so much?" When Nan's mother saw her son's appearance, she quickly put down her teacup, walked over and wiped the sweat off his face.

Nan Jiamu spotted Nan Yuan who was sitting next to him and sneered, "You still remember to come back?"

It’s been three days since I returned to my parents’ home. How many days has it been now?

On the third day, he took a special leave and waited at home with his parents for a whole day, but there was no sign of anyone.

He went to Prince Xie's mansion and the Princess's mansion to ask around, and was told that the two of them were out having fun happily together.

This is really the case of a daughter who is married off and is like water spilled. She has only been married for a few days and she doesn't even come back home.

Nan Yuan couldn't explain why she didn't come back that day. She felt guilty and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Nan's mother also heard the blame in her son's tone and tried to smooth things over: "It's good that Yuan'er is back."

"Hmph." Nan Jiamu snorted coldly, sat down opposite Nan Yuan, and looked at her coldly.

Nan Yuan didn't dare to look at her, and just pulled Nan's mother to continue discussing the matters of Prince Xie's Mansion.

Nan Jiamu was annoyed by what he heard, and suddenly said, "Mom, I kind of want to eat the plum blossom cake you made. Can you make some for me?"

"Okay, I'll make it for you right away." Seeing her son say this, Nan's mother had no reason to refuse, so she turned to look at Nan Yuan and said, "Yuan'er, I'll tell you when I get back."

"Okay." Nan Yuan nodded, very obediently.

After Nan's mother left, she and Nan Jiamu were the only ones left in the room.

Nan Yuan looked over and saw Nan Jiamu looking at her coldly with his chin raised proudly.

Nan Yuan smiled flatteringly and said, "Brother, I promise that this will never happen again. Don't be angry, okay?"

Nan Jiamu snorted coldly: "In the future? How many times do you want to get married?"

Nan Yuan belatedly realized the loophole in her words. The three visits to her parents' home meant only this one time. She couldn't possibly marry again and again.

"Brother, do you have anything you want to tell me alone?" Nan Yuan changed the subject at the right time.

She noticed that something was wrong with Nan Jiamu. His words just now were clearly meant to get her mother away.

Hearing Nan Yuan's words, Nan Jiamu didn't beat around the bush and said mysteriously, "I was promoted three levels today."

The smile on Nan Yuan’s face froze. Promoted three levels in a row?

This matter seemed to be more than just a matter of promotion. Nan Yuan had a bad feeling in her heart.

"This morning, because I stepped into the palace gate with my left foot, I was promoted from a sixth-rank guard to a fifth-rank sword-bearing guard in front of the emperor."

"At noon today, because I ate a mouthful of rice first, I was promoted from a fifth-rank sword-bearing guard to a fourth-rank guard commander."

"I'm off duty tonight, but because I handed over my mission on time, I was promoted from the commander of the fourth-rank guards to the commander of the imperial guards."

Nan Jiamu spoke very proudly, with joy filling his words.

But Nan Yuan's uneasiness grew stronger. She had leveled up three times today, and today was the day Gu Jingheng returned to the city.

When these two things collided with each other, Nan Yuan couldn't help but think too much.

Was it Gu Jingheng who got his brother promoted? What did he want to do?

Nan Jiamu saw that Nan Yuan was uneasy, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, but Nan Yuan didn't even notice it.

"What's wrong with you?" Nan Jiamu saw Nan Yuan was in a daze, reached out and poked her shoulder, and said with a smile: "I shouldn't have told you if I had known earlier, you look so happy that you're silly."

"You can't skip levels in the palace for promotion, so I was promoted step by step. In all these years in the palace, no one has been promoted faster than me. How about him? Is your brother powerful?"

Nan Yuan came back to her senses, raised her eyes, concealed the uneasiness in her heart, nodded and said, "Great."

"Don't tell my parents about this for now. I will give them a surprise later." Nan Jiamu said with a smile, and suddenly his eyes were attracted by the scarf tied around Nan Yuan's neck.

"It's so hot, why are you still wearing a scarf? Take it off."

As he said that, Nan Jiamu was about to pull the scarf around Nan Yuan's neck.

Nan Yuan was shocked and reached out to hit him, slapping his hand away and saying, "Don't move."

Nan Jiamu didn't suspect anything at first, but when he saw Nan Yuan trying to stop him, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He stood up, walked to Nan Yuan, and reached out to untie the scarf around Nan Yuan's neck: "Let me see."

"No, Nan Jiamu! Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

Nan Yuan was also frightened and stood up, dodging Nan Jiamu's hand.

"What's wrong with your neck?" Nan Jiamu stared at Nan Yuan's neck, feeling even more confused.

Nan Yuan touched the marks on her neck that were hidden by the gauze scarf, her brain working rapidly.

This matter must not be known by Nan Jiamu, otherwise there will definitely be a huge uproar.

It's not good to have such a tense relationship after just getting married.

Seeing that Nan Jiamu’s patience was gradually running out and he was about to take action, Nan Yuan quickly said, “You’ll know what it is when you get married.”

Nan Jiamu was confused by Nan Yuan's words and was unable to react for a while.

"W-what marriage?"

Nan Yuan adjusted the position of her scarf, her face slightly red, and she said evasively: "It's...it's...well, you will know this sooner or later, and it's not appropriate for me to tell you."

Nan Yuan nodded, avoiding Nan Jiamu's inquiring gaze.

"Is there anything inappropriate to say?" Nan Jiamu became more and more confused. He asked if Nan Yuan had any injury on her neck. What was she talking about getting married?

Who said that you have to wear a scarf even in such hot weather after getting married?

Nan Yuan was so confused that she gritted her teeth and said, "Hickey."

Nan Jiamu opened his mouth, but it took him a long time to recover. He turned around awkwardly.

Before leaving, he also reminded: "Be moderate."

Nan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally she had managed to keep it a secret.

However, the matter of Nan Jiamu's promotion still lingered in Nan Yuan's mind, making her unable to find peace.

……

"Didn't you say you would let her come to find you? What are you going to do now?" Shen Zhaixing followed behind Gu Jingheng and saw that the road he was taking was to the Nan family, so she couldn't help but ask.

Gu Jingheng hurried towards the Nan family at a brisk pace. Hearing this, he said without turning his head, "Sanchao is coming back. After all, I am her nominal brother, so I must meet him."

Ah!

Isn't it just that you want to see someone?

It's a good thing you found a reason.

Shen Zhaixing shook his head and followed resignedly.

He finally realized that when this guy met Nan Yuan, he was like a dog-skin plaster, without any dignity and self-respect as a prince.

No wonder they are so fearless. Look at Gu Jingheng's expression. Even if the other person is married, he is still trying to get close to her.

After a while, the two arrived at the Nan family.

Shen Zhaixing looked at the high wall in front of him, then looked at Gu Jingheng, bumped his shoulder, and asked, "No, aren't we going in through the main gate?"

He really couldn't imagine that one day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would do something as degrading as climbing over a wall.

Gu Jingheng glanced at him lightly, clicked his tongue and said, "Be careful."

Shen Zhaixing widened his eyes. Did he hear it wrong?

He is not a virgin, so why should he be careful about what he does?

Gu Jingheng didn't say much. He turned over and climbed up the wall, not paying any attention to Shen Zhaixing at all.

Shen Zhaixing didn't bother to care, he climbed up the wall and jumped down.

"Boom-"

Shen Zhaixing didn't expect that there was a small garden behind the wall. He stepped into the mud and hit the tree trunk.

"Ouch."

Shen Zhaixing rubbed her waist and knees that were sore from the collision, and when she looked for Gu Jingheng again, he was gone.
