Chapter 1415 Rain
"She lives in the Chenqing Palace. Doesn't the emperor want to... make her his concubine?"
Wan Lianxing sneered, "It's really ridiculous! I saved her, but I still have to give her a name? She's just a dog-skin plaster, how can she still blame me! Queen, I don't ask you to share my worries and solve my problems, but you can't make things difficult for me. You started to lose your appetite and sleep when Princess Zhuoyang moved into the palace. Look at how thin you are, just skin and bones. People who don't know think I'm treating you harshly. I remember that you kept saying you wanted to take a concubine for me last year. Why, if I took a concubine, you would fall ill on the bed! You have a small head, what are you pretending all day long! In this way, you don't have to worry. I will choose a good place for Princess Zhuoyang in the next few days, and then send her away, so that she won't be under the queen's nose. I am upset when I see you crying. You have followed me for so many years, and finally the hardship has paid off. What I want to see is your elegant demeanor and graceful manners, not your tears and worries every day."
"I didn't cry!"
Wan Lianxing was too lazy to expose her, "It's best that you didn't cry. You can follow me back now. The rain is getting heavier. You will definitely catch a cold when you get to the Yangxin Palace."
Wan Lianxing took Zhong Siyu and walked in the drizzle with big strides, and two palace maids came behind them to hold an umbrella for them.
When they arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, both of their clothes showed signs of being soaked by the rain. If we were to say who was soaked the most, it was Wan Lianxing, as one of his sleeves was already soaked.
"Where does the emperor plan to send Princess Zhuoyang?"
Wan Lianxing took off his hair crown and shook his rain-soaked hair. Hearing this, his brows knitted together, "Shouldn't the Queen be concerned about me? You can't stop talking about Princess Zhuoyang. Isn't her presence too strong? If I had decided where she should go, I would have sent her away before you came back from Lingchen Temple. How could I still watch you crying?"
Zhong Siyu was still trying to argue: "I didn't cry."
At this time, a palace maid had brought a dry towel. Zhong Siyu quickly took the towel and carefully helped Wan Lianxing wipe his hair. If it weren't for her, Wan Lianxing wouldn't have been so wet.
At some point, the door of the room was pushed open, and Cheng Youning and Princess Zhuoyang ran in one after the other. Cheng Youning shouted as he ran, "Grandpa, we can't go to Lingchen Temple today. It's raining too hard... eh..."
Wan Lianxing and Zhong Siyu immediately loosened their hands.
Cheng Youning didn't care about her wet clothes and shoes and socks. She bit her fingers and came closer, asking doubtfully: "...Are you kissing?"
Zhong Siyu's face had already turned red, and her head hung low as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
Wan Lianxing was thick-skinned, but he couldn't resist Cheng Youning's constant questioning, "...Grandpa and grandma, you...are kissing, right? In broad daylight, why did Grandpa suddenly go to the bathroom and take off his coat? Are you going to sleep?" Cheng Youning's narrow eyes looked back and forth between Wan Lianxing and Zhong Siyu, determined to find out something. But this room was clearly where his grandfather usually reviewed memorials, "Grandpa, why did you take off your clothes here? If you want to sleep, why don't you go back to the bedroom? You and Grandma kissing here will be seen by others."
Wan Lianxing, who wanted to disappear on the spot, pinched his forehead, not knowing what to say, "Where did you learn the rules? Why didn't you inform me when you came in? You are forcing your way in, do you know that?"
"Oh, little grandpa, it's raining so hard outside that I can't stop for a while. Your place is closer than my Ningxin Palace, so I ran in with Princess Zhuoyang to take shelter from the rain and ask for a cup of hot tea. Little grandpa, is it an unfortunate time for me to come? Are you and my little grandma going to sleep?"
"It's neither morning nor afternoon, how can I sleep?" Wan Lianxing put his hand on Zhong Siyu's slender waist and said softly, "Yu'er, go to the bedroom and wait for me first!"
"Yes!" Zhong Siyu ran away with a red face.
Cheng Youning insisted, "Grandpa, you want to sleep with my grandma."
"Are you looking for a fight? Your grandmother and I have been caught in the rain and need to change into dry clothes."
"Then change it, why are you kissing here!"
"Could you please stop talking nonsense?"
Cheng Youning grinned, "Okay, but Grandpa, can you please return my grandson's token to me? Without it, it will be inconvenient for me to go out."
Wan Lianxing walked to his dragon table, took out Cheng Youning's token from a secret compartment, and threw it to him: "Get lost!"
Cheng Youning caught it steadily, smiling with a smug look on his face, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously stretched to his ears. He had annoyed his little grandfather so much that his head hurt, and he wanted his token back. He came for the right reason: "Thank you, little grandfather. I won't disturb your sweet dreams." Cheng Youning put away the gold medal and pulled Princess Zhuoyang, who was stunned there, and said, "Let's go."
Princess Zhuoyang didn't move, so Cheng Youning pulled her again, "My little grandpa and little grandma are going to sleep, what are you doing here? Let's go to my Ningxin Palace!"
Princess Zhuoyang's eyes were red. While she missed Wan Lianxing day and night, this man was in love with Zhong Siyu. She came to Fengqi with all her might, vowing to see Wan Lianxing even at her death. Everything she did from beginning to end was for Wan Lianxing, but did Wan Lianxing see her true feelings?
Her heart, eyes and mind were filled with Wan Lianxing. She had lost half her life in order not to marry another man, and was even willing to lose her entire life to stay here. But what she saw was Wan Lianxing and Zhong Siyu hugging each other affectionately.
Her heart was bleeding and her wound was aching. They were husband and wife, so anything they did was fine. But it was still particularly jarring to see them being so inseparable.
Looking at Wan Lianxing standing sideways with his head tilted deliberately, Zhuoyang's heart felt like it was being held in the palm of a tightening hand. She was having trouble breathing and was in a state of panic.
Although Wan Lianxing could still smile at her, it was not like before. All the things she had done to Wan Lianxing in the past, and also all the things her father had done to Wan Lianxing, even though Wan Lianxing was right next to her, there were still countless mountains and rivers between them.
She was trapped in her own web and had a hard time moving forward.
Wan Lianxing would take Zhong Siyu with him whenever he was demoted. They shared hardships and their friendship was stronger than gold. On the other hand, how could a person who no longer dared to call herself Princess Dalang stand between them and separate them?
The methods she used on Wan Lianxing in the past can no longer be used on her now.
Without her identity as a princess, she had to hide her identity from then on. She could no longer be the arrogant, spoiled and willful Princess Zhuoyang.
