After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Wanniang nodded, and fearing that he couldn't see clearly in the dark night without the candlelight, she hummed in a very low voice.

Xiao Xuan married his first wife when he was young. His first wife came from a prominent family. She was a woman with a straight back, generous and calm. The young couple naturally had a good relationship. Later, the women he came into contact with and had affairs with were all bright and straightforward, so much so that the women who were sent to him were all of this type.

He has never liked being so weak.

But when he looked at her, she was slender, white, and had a kind of softness that made all men feel pity for her.

He felt a little awkward. He was over 30 years old and not inexplicably young, but perhaps because he had drunk too much, he had an indescribable impulse towards this delicate woman.

But he was a gentleman and a prince after all, and he was unwilling to use his status to force a woman to submit.

As he was thinking, he heard her say, "Then why doesn't Your Highness want me?"

Her voice was soft, almost inaudible, but it touched his heart like a feather.

He met her eyes, which were clearly black and white, and filled with moisture, like a wounded deer.

She looked at him, somewhat foolishly and somewhat resentfully.

Tears rolled down my cheeks without me noticing.

His heart was moved at this moment, and there was no way to avoid it.

It was the first time that Wanniang took a close look at the man in front of her. He was much older than her. If he worked harder, he could be a grandfather at his age.

But he is tall, with an upright posture, a restrained aura, and he exudes a sense of security that makes people feel at ease.

Wanniang looked at him and knew that this man finally had sympathy for her.

Don't miss this night...

She mustered up the courage to grab his collar and shook him gently, "Your Highness, please don't leave tonight."

She was weak, docile, and hesitant. She pursed her lips tightly and dared not look at him, as if she was afraid of being rejected.

Xiao Xuan sensed that she was afraid, so he adjusted his expression and stared at her quietly. Her neck was slender and white, and from his angle, the curve looked graceful and delicate.

She was trembling uneasily, and he couldn't say no, so he put his arms around her, held the back of her neck, and bent down to kiss her.

Linger all night.

He wanted to pity her, but after the comfort, there was a new round of turbulence. She seemed to have a way of making him unable to control his emotions.

He was even able to hold back the pent-up anger that had been building up since he came back from the North.

But with her, he couldn't help it.

This feeling only occurred when I first experienced sex as a teenager.

It's been a long time.

He stayed at her place for several days in a row, and she made him feel radiant.

The maids guarding the gate dared not say a word, as the wind direction in the mansion had changed.

Your Highness had many concubines in the past, and he treated them all equally. He never favored any one so much.

Wanniang likes Xiao Xuan. She thinks that people from noble families are out of her reach. But Xiao Xuan is different. He is gentle and domineering to her. When she has someone to rely on, he does not allow his children to disrespect her.

He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, broad shoulders and a solid chest.

With Xiao Xuan's favor, even her family members showed her some respect.

For the first time, Wanniang felt at home.

She also quickly figured out his preferences, for example, he liked her softness and helplessness, her slender waist, her dancing, and her playing the pipa.

He never let her dance or play the pipa in front of others again.

He likes hot food and pasta, but doesn't like sweet food or soup.

Later, when he came to her house, she was able to cook meals that suited his taste.

Wanniang saw that Xiao Xuan's love for her grew even more.

Xiao Xuan really liked her very much. Maybe it was because she was too young, she always listened to what he said carefully, nodded solemnly and even wrote it down. She sincerely took his every word and every preference as a big deal.

It's so adorable.

Because she was young and didn't know how to pretend, it could be said that Xiao Xuan saw through her disguise and some of her actions that seemed shallow to ordinary people, such as pretending to be sick to gain his attention, and her self-esteem of pretending to know things when she didn't.

She was a little petty, vain and self-respecting, but in his opinion these shortcomings were nothing.

He liked her authenticity.

When you like someone, it is not a shortcoming, but a reality.

Suddenly one day, someone said that Xiao Xuan was leaving and going back to the northern border.

Wanniang couldn't bear to do so.

She knew that there were many people in this mansion who regarded her as a thorn in their side.

If Xiao Xuan left, I'm afraid I would never see her again.

She hugged his waist at night, interlocking their fingers tenderly, without saying a word.

In the dark night, Wanniang's tears silently fell on the back of Xiao Xuan's hand.

The decision was made at the moment her tears fell.

Xiao Xuan let out a long sigh.

In the end, he couldn't control himself and was reluctant to leave.

She was so weak and helpless that anyone would feel pity for her.

He comforted himself in his heart that he had seen the real test on the battlefield and Xie Tan was capable of handling the current northern border.

Xie Tan will definitely be able to understand him.

Northern Camp.

The inside and outside of the tent were covered with various weapons and armor, which emitted a hazy light in the sunlight.

The supplies from the court have arrived.

It should have been a happy occasion, but everyone present had a cold look on their faces.

These items look good, but they are actually inferior junk. If you really take them to the battlefield, you will die and never come back alive!

Now Xie Tangui is a second-rank general of the Zhenjun Army. He no longer shows his emotions on his face. Sometimes people even feel that he has lost all emotions.

But under the sunlight, his expression looked as if it had been soaked in ten thousand years of frost, and was as sharp as a knife.

This batch of military supplies was supervised by the Sixth Prince Xiao Shen. How could he not know that such junk was delivered?

The number of these armors and weapons is not small. The imperial court has issued a large sum of money, and it only takes a moment for them to embezzle it.

There are hundreds of people involved in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War. You take a little, I take a little, and no one says anything, and everyone benefits.

But the border of the country is an important military town. The soldiers are fighting for their lives on the front line. It is disheartening to be fooled like this.

"General, what should we do? Does His Highness know about this?"

Xie Tan suppressed his anger, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Your Highness must not know. Put these things away first."

Do you want to tell Xiao Xuan?

I must tell him, but not now.

Since Sixth Prince Xiao Shen was able to transport these things here openly, he must have arranged a retreat.

Things have come to this point. If we want the court to conduct a thorough investigation, we will inevitably have to conduct layer upon layer of investigations. This major case involving so many people may take at least half a year or at most several years, and it has not caused any substantial damage, so it will most likely end up being a small matter or nothing at all.

It’s better to hold on to it.

"I have accumulated some money from the rewards from the court and the gifts from His Highness over the years." Xie Tan looked at the lieutenant general in charge of logistics and military supplies, "Search for it, sell it, and arrange for the soldiers to keep warm in winter."

The subordinate nodded. He knew that the general always kept his word and if he said he could arrange it, he would arrange it very well.

A few days later, shocking news came from Yunjing.

The commoner Xiao Huang suddenly contracted malaria on the eve of his arrival in Langya and died on the way.
