Chapter 782: Uneasy, Have you ever had a maid?
The shadow fell to the ground with a jerk, his body motionless.
Looking at the target in my hand and the sharp arrow hitting the bull's eye, I sighed in my heart: Your Majesty, you are so powerful!
He was running on the glazed tiles of the courtyard wall with a target in his hand. Even though he was moving very fast with the target, the prince still shot a ten-ring easily. The knuckles of his palms holding the target were numb from the vibration...
You have to know that his hands are covered with calluses from martial arts training, and the skin is very thick, so it is difficult for him to feel pain normally. This shows how powerful the prince's archery force is.
Under the tree, Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan sat on stone chairs. They first talked about the development of memory restoration drugs, and then mentioned Wei Bai's teaching of Fu Qian.
Looking at Yun Mujiu's gossipy smile, Ye Xiaohan felt helpless.
"I see."
"What do you think, sir?"
"Let it be." Ye Xiaohan said calmly - "I won't interfere too much in the affairs of my subordinates."
Yun Mujiu's eyes lit up. Where could one find such a generous master like Ye Xiaohan?
As soon as she heard Ye Xiaohan's words, she knew that Wei Bai's subordinates would have good jobs to look forward to in the future.
Although Ye Xiaohan is not as down-to-earth as Yun Mujiu and does not have harmonious relationships with people around him, he is not bad to his subordinates. Now he does not have too much control and restrictions on the people under him like other princes, princes, princesses, aristocratic families, etc.
"That's good. Your Majesty, you are such a good master!" Yun Mujiu's eyes were curved and there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.
"What? Are you so interested in Wei Bai and the others' affairs?" Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Yun Mujiu said: "We are all family. As long as we are happy, we should also care about their lifelong affairs."
Seeing the blazing fire in Yun Mujiu's eyes, Ye Xiaohan said bluntly: "It's not even a stroke yet."
Yun Mujiu was stunned, and then said, "Aren't there some signs?" He raised one corner of his mouth and smiled, and added, "In my opinion, Wei Bai and Fu Qian are at least good friends."
"You're right." Ye Xiaohan said helplessly. Well, let Mu Mu continue to look so excited.
For a moment, Yun Mujiu felt like he had seen a modern person. The Ye Xiaohan in front of him was a modern person wearing ancient clothes.
The words "You're right" he said were exactly the way modern people speak. If she hadn't been with Ye Xiaohan frequently in the past few months and had some understanding of him, she might have guessed whether Ye Xiaohan was a person who traveled through time.
Well, besides the fact that she knew Ye Xiaohan, there was another reason that could explain why she didn't come up with the idea that Ye Xiaohan was a time traveler.
That is, she knew in her heart that Ye Xiaohan was led astray by her, because she often unconsciously uttered some modern terms, causing people around her to learn them imperceptibly.
Yun Mujiu gave a dry smile and replied to Ye Xiaohan.
"Your Majesty is right."
"Your Majesty, let alone the fact that they haven't even started dating yet, you can even say that Wei Bo and Fu Qian's current relationship is not even remotely close to the point of in-depth contact."
"Yeah." Ye Xiaohan nodded slightly.
The servant brought tea, and Yun Mujiu moved closer to Ye Xiaohan, revealing two sweet dimples.
To outsiders, it seems that the relationship between the couple is getting better and better.
Ying Yi put the target back into the warehouse, returned to Huayang Courtyard, and found a secluded place to stay. When his eyes swept over Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu, a faint smile flashed across his cold eyes.
Yun Mujiu stood up and took the initiative to pour a glass for Ye Xiaohan.
"My husband has worked hard in his training, so I, as his wife, will serve him a cup of tea."
Ye Xiaohan's handsome eyebrows moved slightly, and he said "hmm" in a cold tone.
"Is my husband satisfied with my wife's performance?"
"It's okay." Ye Xiaohan commented.
Yun Mujiu's lips trembled slightly, and she almost couldn't maintain the dignified smile on her face. Ye Xiaohan was really into the role.
Ye Xiaohan took a sip of tea and said, "It's too hot. It's not good."
"Then I, your wife, will pour you another cup and let it cool down a bit."
"No need. I'll just drink this cup." Ye Xiaohan raised his chin slightly, "Don't act so rashly next time."
Yun Mujiu pursed her lips and replied, "I understand."
Ye Xiaohan twitched his lips and squeezed out a cold sentence: "Didn't I tell you? You are not allowed to call yourself that."
"Why?" Yun Mujiu pretended to be innocent and blinked his big eyes.
"It sounds disgusting." Ye Xiaohan frowned slightly.
"Why?" Yun Mujiu suppressed his smile and asked again.
"Someone once called me that."
Yun Mujiu was really shocked. Ye Xiaohan only married her as a princess, so how could anyone else call herself "concubine"?
Yun Mujiu looked at Ye Xiaohan carefully, and when she saw that the man in front of her didn't look like he was joking, her little face suddenly became serious, and thoughts surged in her mind.
A serious questioning voice rang out—"Ye Xiaohan, could it be that you have had a concubine?"
Ye Xiaohan's face suddenly turned dark, and several Hanying Guards in the dark also shuddered in fear.
Ye Xiaohan looked at Yun Mujiu with gritted teeth.
"What are you talking about! I've never had that...thing!"
He couldn't utter the phrase "tongfangyatou".
"Then why would someone call herself 'concubine' to you?"
Yun Mujiu was originally joking with Ye Xiaohan, but she didn't expect that she would get into trouble. She accidentally discovered something about Ye Xiaohan that she had never known before.
Ye Xiaohan’s face couldn’t be any darker as he stared straight at Yun Mujiudao.
"Those were women that the Emperor and other factions had brought to the Night Prince's Palace. But I had never seen them. Later, when some of them were waiting for me to return to the palace, they would make a scene outside the gate of the Night Prince's Palace, and even dared to call themselves 'concubines' to me."
"Also, the emperor issued an imperial decree to force some women into the palace. However, I have never seen them. I sent people to throw them out that day. These people also called themselves "concubines" and kept saying "concubines want to see the prince". I felt disgusted after listening to the reports from the servants."
Ye Xiaohan bit his thin lips and glared at Yun Mujiu, looking aggrieved and resentful at being misunderstood by Yun Mujiu.
Yun Mujiu was stunned. So that's how it was. She was in a hurry just now, and she didn't use her brain to imagine that Ye Xiaohan might have had a concubine. It's not that she thought too strangely, but there really was a saying of concubines in this dynasty. Some young men would arrange for concubines to warm their beds even if they were not married yet.
"So those people dared to address themselves like that to His Majesty. No wonder His Majesty is so disgusted by such titles."
Ye Xiaohan snorted, "This is not the only reason why I feel disgusted."
"Also, I treat you sincerely. You are my only wife. I will only marry you in this life. I will not have any thoughts about any other woman. You are my only wife in this life. So you cannot call yourself 'concubine' and demean yourself in that way."
Yun Mujiu seemed a little ashamed, feeling guilty for her unnecessary imagination. She shouldn't have used such thoughts to speculate that Ye Xiaohan was the first to do so.
Everything is because of concern, and who likes who the most makes her anxious. Of course, she can't say who likes who the most between her and Ye Xiaohan now. There is no comparison in feelings, only how to determine each other's feelings.
"Your Highness, I was wrong." Yun Mujiu was obedient now and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Hmph!" Ye Xiaohan stretched out his finger and pointed at Yun Mujiu's head.
"I really want to open your head and see what you think about all day long!"
...
At the same time, the sun was shining brightly, and Fu Qian got out of her bedroom and stretched.
She often lived in the other courtyard these days and hadn't come back to sleep in her own little bed for a long time.
Thinking about what the princess said yesterday, that she would mention Wei Bo's serious teaching to the prince, she couldn't help but smile.
Wei Bai helped her, so it was only right for her to say something good about him in front of the princess. What's more, Wei Bai did a good job and was worthy of being one of the prince's right-hand men.
At this time, Fu Qian only had admiration for Wei Bai as a strong man, and had no other thoughts at all.
There was no way. Fu Qian was raised by Doctor Fu as a boy. In addition, she followed Doctor Fu to various places for medical consultations and came into contact with mostly male patients all year round. Gradually, she became a steel straight woman.
Fu Qian packed a few sets of clothes, then came to the outer room of Yun Mujiu's bedroom, and took a few servants to get the medicine that Yun Mujiu had placed on the table in advance.
The bottles and jars piled on the table are the special medicines that Yun Mujiu is preparing to sell for the Herb Hall.
After Fu Qian got the medicine, he picked up his bag and prepared to go out.
When they were in the front yard, they met Wei Bai who had just arrived. They both thought of the conversation they had at Wei Bai's mansion yesterday and stopped at the same time. For the first time, the two chatterboxes didn't know what to say to each other.
Fu Qian murmured: "I..."
Wei Bo also murmured at the same time: "I..."
They both stopped talking at the same time, hesitating about what to say.
...
At the same time, Yun Mujiu, who was in Huayang Courtyard, was also muttering to himself.
"I..." Yun Mujiu covered his forehead with both hands, fearing that Ye Xiaohan would hit his head. Then he became anxious, "Your Majesty, what else can I think of!"
"Your Highness, I've been thinking about you! I'm confused because of my concern. If I wasn't thinking about Your Highness, how could I be so anxious to the point of losing my mind?" As Yun Mujiu spoke, she felt as if she had found a bright path.
He quickly brainwashed Ye Xiaohan and said, "The reason why I was so impulsive is because I care about Your Majesty. If I didn't care about Your Majesty, I wouldn't bother asking Your Majesty about your past! I am fine being alone, how free and easy I am!"
Ye Xiaohan didn't expect that Yun Mujiu would turn the tables on him, but after listening carefully, it seemed that what Yun Mujiu said made some sense.
If Yun Mujiu didn't care about him, he wouldn't have questioned him anxiously.
If he didn't care about Yun Mujiu, he wouldn't be angry about Yun Mujiu's reckless question.
Ye Xiaoxiaohan put down the slender fingers that were pointing at Yun Mujiu's smooth forehead, and was stunned again and again.
Ying Yi and a few shadow guards watched the fun from the dark, silently sweating for the prince. If they were not mistaken, wasn't the prince in the upper hand just now? How come it was the prince's fault in the blink of an eye? Oh, women, women, they are really magical creatures...
Yun Mujiu became even more excited when he saw Ye Xiaohan's reaction. He whimpered and looked at Ye Xiaohan with eyes full of grievance.
"I was clearly concerned about the prince and wanted to know more about him, but he was so mean to me."
"I didn't mean to you." Ye Xiaohan was not good at coaxing women, so he replied stiffly based on the facts.
"You have it." Yun Mujiu wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, with tears flickering faintly in his eye sockets.
Then, she said aggrievedly: "Also, it was because the prince did not give me enough sense of security that I felt uneasy and asked the prince a few more questions."
Conflicts between men and women are usually caused by differences in their thinking. Sometimes, men and women have completely different views on the same thing.
For example, in terms of tone, Ye Xiaohan is used to speaking in a cold and harsh manner, and sometimes he inevitably speaks a little loudly. He originally had no other intentions, but to Yun Mujiu it sounded like Ye Xiaohan might have something against her, so he was mean to her.
"Sense of security?" Ye Xiaohan was stunned again. It was the first time he heard this word.
"Do you women pay attention to this feeling?"
"Of course!" Yun Mujiu quickly replied, and then lowered her voice: "I broke up with the Yun Mansion, and I didn't have the support of my family before I got married. My biological mother died early, and I don't have a father. I married into the Yewang Mansion alone. How could I not be panicked and scared? Besides, the prince wanted to kill me from time to time in the early days, and always treated me like a subordinate. How uneasy my little heart was..."
"You are a prince, and I am at most a granddaughter of Duke Meng's mansion. I don't even have an official position. There is a huge gap between you and me, and I only have you as my husband. Under all these circumstances, how can I have a strong sense of security?"
Ye Xiaohan also realized it at this time, and the lines on his cold face softened. Yun Mujiu had always been very tenacious, and he forgot for a moment that Yun Mujiu was just an 18-year-old girl. He had been tempered on the battlefield and in the officialdom for many years, and was naturally different from Yun Mujiu.
"Okay, I understand." Ye Xiaohan wanted to reach out and touch Yun Mujiu's angry face, but in the end he didn't reach out his hand.
Do not touch a kitten with its fur standing on end easily, otherwise it will become even more crazy.
Ye Xiaohan pushed a cup of tea in front of Yun Mujiu and motioned for her to drink it.
Then asked——"Tell me, how can you feel safe?"
Yun Mujiu raised his eyebrows. Ye Xiaohan was quite sensible. In other words, although Ye Xiaohan was a straight man, he was willing to take action for her, which met the standard of a "good man".
The long paragraph that Yun Mujiu just said was not false. She described her own situation in a complex and diverse way. The emotions she expressed were also somewhat true, but a little exaggerated. She had no sense of security in the Night Palace before, but later she gradually gained a lot of security.
Yun Mujiu glanced at the tea that Ye Xiaohan handed to him, then looked up at Ye Xiaohan and said seriously.
"— I want you to care about me, pay attention to me, and love me."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Be as honest with me as possible. There are some things that are not conducive to the stability and harmony of our relationship that cannot be hidden from me."
She herself had a secret to hide from Ye Xiaohan, and now she didn't dare to tell him everything. Similarly, it was not easy for her to ask Ye Xiaohan to confess everything to her in detail.
She just hoped that the two of them could be as honest with each other as possible, because if some things were kept secret for too long, the relationship would deteriorate.
Ye Xiaohan listened carefully to Yun Mujiu's request and nodded steadily.
"Okay, I will."
As for his so-called secret, Mu Mu will know it soon...
