According to Nangong Waner's words, whatever beauty was, she would have to drink a few cups while soaking in the hot spring, adding to the poetic atmosphere. Unfortunately, although she made her plans early, her body did not have much energy left, and after a while, she fell asleep in the hot spring.
Nangong Waner didn't even remember that it was the Prince Zhan who pulled her out of the pond and carried her back. He didn't know that she had slept in the same bed as the Prince Zhan for an entire night as well.
His head was always resting on Prince Zhan's arm, and when he woke up the next day, Prince Zhan felt like his arm was going to be crippled.
"Morning." Nangong Waner also slowly woke up from his sleep. He saw that Prince Zhan had long since packed and was sitting in his room, concentrating on flipping through an ancient book.
"Why are you so idle every day? My father is only a Assistant Minister of the Department of Public Officials. Why does he have to go to court early every day? Nangong Waner asked curiously while they were eating.
"Oh, the Emperor took care of me by going to the borderlands and suffering many hardships. He specifically wanted me to rest at the Prince's Mansion for a while." Prince Zhan said indifferently, she did not forget to give Nangong Waner some side dishes.
Speaking of which, it was strange that the emperor did not see Chu Xiuhan go to the morning assembly for a few more days, it was truly a headache, Chu Xiuhan relied on his high achievements to rule the court, being lawless, and enjoying his daily leisure, he could not watch this anymore.
"I'm so jealous." The Emperor lamented in his heart.
The Emperor was hoping that the officials would write a few books about Chu Xiuhan in the morning, saying that he would not be treated as an official and would not care about the rules. As long as there was a ginseng, the Emperor would immediately head to Prince Zhan's Mansion to lure Chu Xiuhan into the imperial palace.
It was a pity that the Emperor had waited for so many days. Not a single subject dared to say anything.
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhan …" While the emperor was absent-minded during the morning assembly, an old official had something to report.
"Speak!" Hearing that there was a official who wanted to play Chu Xiuhan's part, the Emperor urged him happily.
A few days ago, Prince Zhan suffered a heavy injury from the counterattack from some local forces. Emperor, this humble subject proposes to give Prince Zhan some time to recuperate and recover from his injuries. Your majesty, Prince Zhan is a meritorious general of our Tian Sheng! The old official who played the report said word by word. Normally, the old official was muddled into chaos, and the report was unclear. But today, the report caused him to be radiant.
"Your Majesty, this subject also agrees."
"Your Majesty, this subject also agrees." All of them proposed for Prince Zhan to stay at home to recuperate and temporarily not come to the morning assembly. Looking at the official's worried expression, it was as if Prince Zhan was made of paper and would be blown away by the morning breeze …
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. If Chu Xiuhan was made of paper, then he must be crushed. He couldn't tell that Chu Xiuhan's ability to bribe the people was the best, then he must properly visit the Duke's Mansion to pay respects.
Prince Zhan, who was being praised for his merits in the imperial court, did not have any thoughts of working for his country at all. After eating, she accompanied Nangong Waner for a while to enjoy the flowers.
As he gave rewards, Nangong Waner felt that something was amiss, "Where did Liu Hong go?"
Prince Zhan laughed, "I'll help you find Assistant Minister’s Residence's carriage."
Nangong Waner thought that it was true, "Un, I was thinking that Liu Hong helped me pack my belongings and brought me home, but I did not see anyone this morning. So they were actually helping me go out to find Assistant Minister’s Residence's carriage."
Another two hours passed …
Nangong Waner was starting to get impatient, seeing that Chu Xiuhan did not seem to be abnormal and was still looking very good, Nangong Waner started to get anxious, after all, he had not returned to the Assistant Minister’s Residence for the entire night, if her father were to know about this, could she still keep her legs?
Prince Zhan was still playing around with interest.
Everything happened as Nangong Waner expected. Even after Nangong Waner had eaten lunch, there were still no signs of Liu Hong coming back, causing him to be unable to sit still any longer. He furrowed his brows and asked Chu Xiuhan, "Where's Liu Hong? There were no carriages left in the entire Shangjing City, right? Liu Hong came to the palace early in the morning to borrow a carriage? Unable to control himself, Nangong Waner started to speak louder and louder.
Facing Nangong Waner's questioning, Prince Zhan did not show any embarrassment on his face at all. Instead, he had an aggrieved look on his face as he looked straight at Nangong Waner and said, "It could be..."
"It might be …" What, Liu Hong went out to look for a carriage, purposely trapping her inside the Duke Palace? The more Nangong Waner thought about this, the angrier he got, and he grabbed the Prince Zhan's collar with the embroidered golden silk threads, roaring somewhat fiercely, "Chu Xiuhan, I advise you to quickly get a carriage for me, and send it to the Assistant Minister’s Residence. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"
However, Prince Zhan was not panicked or anxious. Instead, he smiled, as if he was holding back a smile, and replied while looking at Nangong Waner with deep emotion, "Wan Er, do you have any heart? If you really will not let me see tomorrow's sun, then I will fulfill your wish. " After he finished speaking, Chu Xiuhan lowered his neck and moved closer.
Nangong Waner was originally just pulling on Prince Zhan's collar, but now Prince Zhan actually took the initiative to move closer and placed his neck onto Nangong Waner's hand as well. In an instant, the skin on Prince Zhan's neck caused Nangong Waner's hand to feel slightly hot, and he let go of the hand that was holding onto Chu Xiuhan's collar in embarrassment or embarrassment.
"Aiya, Chu Xiuhan, I can't stay in the Prince Zhan's Mansion forever. I already left last night, so I must return to the Assistant Minister’s Residence today." As Nangong Waner spoke, he gave in helplessly.
"Why not?" Prince Zhan tidied up his collar, and asked Nangong Waner in all seriousness.
"I have already sent a message to Ju Xiang that you will be staying in the Prince Zhan's Mansion for a while, so she should be careful." The Prince Zhan thought of something and added.
Nangong Waner, "..."
"Then why are you still quibbling about whether Liu Hong has gone out to find a carriage for me today? You want me to wait all morning? "
"Aiya, I didn't realize that you, Wan Er, are really intelligent, intelligent and transparent."
"Chu Xiuhan!"
"I'm here, This King is here..."
