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

The maids in the salesperson's home were transferred from the palace.

Song Nihuan was not used to it.

"Madam, don't you like people to serve you closely?" Shuanghua asked, thinking that this habit seemed very similar to that of the eldest master.

Xie Yunji also didn't like people getting close to him, so among the maids in the Xie mansion, only Molan and Linglong were allowed to serve in the yard.

"No. It's just that they are too attentive and make people uncomfortable."

Shuanghua understood and said, "Your Majesty loves you, so it's only natural for them to be more attentive."

"It's a bit too much." Song Nihuan said.

Previously, the palace maids were not sure whether she had the emperor's favor and were lukewarm towards her. But now that she no longer lives in the harem, the maids have become enthusiastic, almost to the point of fawning.

If she was really a favored concubine who was in love with Xie Tan, it might be natural for her to be pampered, but she wanted to deliberately distance herself from Xie Tan, so she felt like a thorn in her back.

In particular, those maids took it upon themselves to tell Chen Liang, the governor of the East Factory, that she was teaching the children to dance.

Isn't this clearly asking Xie Tan to come over?

What’s the difference between this and the concubines seeking favor?

Song Nihuan felt that it was not easy for Xie Tan to handle government affairs. Now that the new dynasty had just been established, he had severed his relationship with the Xie family. Without any relatives behind him, it would not be easy for him to take control of the country and make those double-faced ministers obey him.

Take the late emperor’s funeral for example. It was a grand affair. I don’t know if it was out of kindness or if they were restrained by the cabinet and had to endure it.

Xie Tan is the emperor now. How could her little tricks of playing with the children disturb Saint Ann?

But from another perspective, she would leave eventually. Although as Xie Tan said, life after leaving the palace would not be easy, Song Nihuan knew that this was the life she should face and the life that truly belonged to her.

Now, living a life of luxury in this imperial palace is illusory and makes people feel very uneasy.

Therefore, she hoped that before leaving, Xie Tan could participate more in her life so as to leave some good memories.

Since the maid has the message, just pass it on.

But a few days later, Chen Liang came to say that His Majesty was too busy to come and would not come to see her and the children rehearse.

This was within Song Nihuan's expectations.

The days are like running water, flowing gently, peaceful and tranquil.

One day, after Song Nihuan and the children finished a dance, a little girl suddenly looked back and saw a tall, silver-haired young man leaning against a blossom tree, looking at them with a smile.

Xie Tan is indeed busy recently, but he can make time for her.

He deliberately asked Chen Liang to tell her that he would not come, because he didn't want her to prepare anything deliberately.

It's troublesome. Everyone is restrained. Why bother?

Why not pay a sudden visit today?

The early spring sun shines warmly on people. The dancing woman has curved eyebrows and is surrounded by children. It looks like a painting that is coated with a layer of light that does not belong to this world.

There was a smile on Song Nihuan's face, it came from the heart and was not fake for anyone to see.

She no longer had the cautious and rule-abiding demeanor she had when I first met her.

The whole person feels relaxed, comfortable and peaceful.

He liked her like this.

She danced much more beautifully than those dancers at the palace banquets. Her dance was natural and smooth. As she spun, her slender waist could be held in one hand, and her beautiful eyes were moving and naturally affectionate.

Xie Tan remembered that she was clearly not good at dancing before.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly ached.

She had been in a brothel before, so she had to learn these things.

"Sister Song, look, there is a very handsome brother!" The little girl tugged at Song Nihuan's sleeve and said.

Xie Tan met Song Nihuan's surprised gaze, just looked at her and smiled without saying anything.

"Brother Tan?" She smiled and walked towards him, "Didn't you say you couldn't come?"

"If I told you, how could there be a surprise?" He raised his eyebrows and leaned closer to her and whispered, "Have you missed your brother Tan these days?"

Song Nihuan hit him, frowned and said angrily: "Be serious!"

Xie Tan let her beat his chest, his thin lips curled up, he liked this kind of comfortable relationship, laughed and said: "Why are you not serious, are you shy?"

Sure enough, the children on the side stared at the two of them with round eyes, whispering to each other, and chattering one after another.

Song Nihuan raised her finger to her lips and made a "hush" gesture to Xie Tan, then ran over and whispered to the children, and asked the maids to take them to a nap.

"They are just children, and you are talking nonsense in front of them." She said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, I'll pay attention next time." He said with a smile, "But they don't know nothing. Just now, several children had expressions of knowing everything on their faces..."

She pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, have some sense of propriety. You promised me..."

She had just finished dancing, her face was still flushed, her eyes were sparkling, and her lips were pouting. For a moment, Xie Tan seemed to see the bright and innocent girl from many years ago.

A strange ripple appeared in his heart, and he felt numb and tingling.

Xie Tan's gaze was too intense, making her feel uncomfortable. Song Nihuan quickly took two steps back without making a sound and said, "How is our dance? Isn't it a little simple?"

"I haven't danced for a long time, and I'm not good at it anymore. But it's boring to study with the children every day, so I take them to play and dance when I have nothing to do. It can help them exercise..."

He interrupted her, looked at her seriously and said, "It looks good."

It's really beautiful.

Song Nihuan smiled and nodded, her overwhelmed joy about to overflow.

Xie Tan saw her smile.

Little girl.

"When I first went to the Jiaofang Division to learn dancing, it was very hard. It was much stricter than the teaching by the teacher in the Song Mansion. But after I finished learning, I really danced better than before."

“At that time, I even thought it would be great if my parents could see my improvement in dancing.”

"Later, I was ashamed of these skills of using my beauty to please others, and I haven't danced in these years. But just now, Brother Tan saw me dancing, and I was very happy. "

"These years haven't been all hardship, have they?" She lowered her head and said softly, "There have been some things that have gotten a little better, right?"

He stared at her for a moment, and her lowered eyes and hidden inferiority were all seen in his eyes.

Xie Tan felt sour and bitter in his heart, and was extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek.

She flinched and held his hand to stop him from moving.

"Ni Huan." His voice was low and gentle. "You are very good. Over the years, you have always been the best in my heart, and it has not changed now."

"I'm your brother, what are you afraid of?"

She let go of his hand.

Her tender cheeks were warm to the touch, soft and tinged with a light pink.

Xie Tan's heart was beating like a drum, and in his mind he had already lived a happy and fulfilling life with Song Nihuan.

Song Nihuan looked up at him, her eyes clear and filled with trust in him, and a reliance on him as a brother with a sense of familial affection.

This frankness made Xie Tan embarrassed, but how could he bear to let her go?

It would be fine if the past misses could not be made up for.

But now, there was no one else between them. She had appeared in his dreams, and he had held her in his arms. She was within his reach, right in front of him...

He couldn't bring himself to let her go.

He wants to keep her by his side and love her forever.

There is no rush; he has the patience and time to wait for her to fall in love with him.

The gentle spring breeze brought a faint fragrance, lingering around the two of them.

He withdrew his hand. "Do whatever makes you happy. Don't get too tired. I still have some memorials to review, so I have to leave first."

"Don't work too hard," she said.

He waved as he walked.

"Be careful on the road."

"it is good."

"Brother Tan."

"Ok?"

"Come over if you want, or I can go back to the palace."

"it is good."

"Brother Tan."

"Huh? What's wrong?" He looked back at her.

But she said nothing, waved at him and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go."

Xie Tan walked out, then looked back out of worry. The woman under the flower tree had a faint smile on her face and was still looking at him.

It was as if I wanted to see him leave.

Xie Tan felt an indescribable sweetness and peace in a trance.

"Your Majesty, all the cabinet ministers are here." Chen Liang had been waiting at the door since early morning, bowing and lowering his head to remind him.

Xie Tan nodded, lifted his robe and stepped onto the carriage.

All the way, there was a smile on his lips.
