As Linlin left, Lang Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, then slumped back onto the bed, covering her face with Linlin's handkerchief.
Rest in peace.
In her past life, no, in her life before that, she must have been a great general commanding thousands of troops.
Otherwise, we'll be embarrassing ourselves every day, and we won't even be able to save face!
A wedding night filled with shame and indignation.
After a while, Lang Xuan got up and changed her clothes herself.
She didn't bring any maids, and the Prince's residence didn't prepare any either.
She was aware of this, because in her previous life, she had already been surprised when she entered the Eastern Palace.
--In the Eastern Palace, besides servants, there were only old women; maids were extremely rare.
No, to be precise, apart from the maid she temporarily bought to make a show of things, Yanran and Baoxuan would bring maids when they came, but counting the Eastern Palace, there wasn't a single maid.
Yuwen Duo was really good in this respect.
He was never seen flirting with women casually; he was only kind to Baoxuan.
Oh, Lang Xuan Lang Xuan, have you gone mad?
He just teased you, and now all you can Zidu how good he is.
It's too late. Rest in peace, next one!
Footsteps sounded outside the door, Lang Xuan suddenly sat up as if she had risen from the dead.
However, after waiting for a while, the footsteps disappeared, and the door remained closed.
It definitely wasn't Yuwen Duo; he went to the front to greet the guests.
"Princess?"
"Hey, I'm here!" Yanran's voice rang out from the doorway.
Lang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. "You scared me to death! I thought it was the Prince."
"What's wrong with me?" Linlin pushed the door open and came in.
Lang Xuan looked closely and realized that the brother and sister had been at the door just moments before.
She blushed instantly, wanting to accuse Yuwen Duo of eavesdropping, but knew she was in the wrong.
Since I couldn't argue with him anyway, I simply shut up and played dumb.
Linlin didn't press the matter further, saying, "Bring it in."
Several old women came in carrying large food boxes and removed the already cold "traditional dishes" from the table, replacing them with steaming hot dishes.
The old women all withdrew, Linlin Yanran to Yanran, who was craning her neck at the door, "I'm afraid Cui Ling can't hold her liquor..."
"I'm leaving!" Yanran turned and ran.
Cui Xiaoqiu is weak!
Even if you're in good health, you might not be able to hold your liquor!
We still need her.
Linlin closed the door herself, and the world finally became quiet.
Seeing this, Lang Xuan couldn't help but ask, "You... aren't you leaving?"
Do you want me to leave?
Lang Xuan: "..."
She knew it!
Why did she speak up?
She deserves to be roasted!
"Come and eat," Linlin said.
She left early this morning, so she probably didn't dare to eat anything. She must be hungry by now.
Lang Xuan: "I'm not hungry."
Stomach: Rumbling.
Lang Xuan: "..."
She wanted to find a needle and sew her mouth shut! Sew it shut!
Seeing her embarrassed and indignant expression, Linlin struggled to suppress her laughter.
But he held back.
Because when he smiles, she starts to shed tears again, and he can't stand it.
The old woman placed the bowls and chopsticks on opposite sides of the table, then moved Linlin to two adjacent seats and said, "Let's eat."
Lang Xuan remained still.
Linlin pretended to walk out. "If you feel uncomfortable with me here, I'll go out first. I came here to hide because I was afraid they would force me to drink; I have a sensitive stomach..."
"I'm not uncomfortable at all!" Lang Xuan said immediately.
She was completely unaware that Yuwen Duo had a stomach problem.
But thinking about it, he was often so busy with his paperwork that he forgot to eat, so it's normal that he had a bad stomach.
We can't eat hard food anymore; I hope she can remind me when she's around.
Linlin: My cunning brother-in-law has finally become somewhat useful.
Confucius said, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me." The ancients were indeed right.
Linlin: "That's good, let's eat."
Lang Xuan walked over and sat down awkwardly beside him, without touching her chopsticks.
"These don't suit my taste?"
"No." Lang Xuan picked up her chopsticks and chose the nearest piece of food.
"That's ginger!" Linlin kindly reminded her.
Lang Xuan: "... I love eating ginger."
She quickly put the ginger in her mouth and chewed it a couple of times...
Tears welled up.
Linlin:"..."
"It's never good to eat spicy food on an empty stomach. Don't do it next time," Linlin said. "What, you don't believe me? I've been sick for a long time, so I know I have a bad stomach."
Lang Xuan almost died from that ginger.
But since I chose the ginger myself, I have to finish it, even if I have to kneel down.
He swallowed the ginger slices with difficulty, and a bowl of clear soup appeared beside him.
"I didn't know what kind of food you liked, so I had them make a light soup," Linlin said. "From now on, you'll be in charge of the kitchen. Just tell them what you want to eat. I like sweets, and spicy food is fine too. I don't like bitter foods, and I don't eat Dog Meat, but everything else is fine."
He was telling himself her preferences...
Lang Xuan suddenly felt less panicked.
Yuwen Duo has already set the right example for her.
They were two strangers who had just come together and needed to adapt to and be tolerant of each other.
Just say what you mean; guessing is a waste of your time.
As expected of him.
It's so beautiful no matter how you look at it, and it's so captivating no matter how you think about it.
Although I was starving, the food didn't taste good because I was thinking of him.
Linlin looked at the little girl who was staring at her with red eyes, seemingly lost in thought, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
Did he say something wrong?
"Isn't it spicy?" he asked.
Lang Xuan snapped out of her daze and realized that her throat was burning.
She picked up the bowl and drank two large mouthfuls of soup, which made her feel a little better.
Let's eat.
"Um."
The two ate in silence.
Although they were close, Linlin didn't overstep her bounds or serve her any food, which relieved Lang Xuan, allowing her to eat in peace.
She was really hungry.
After finishing her meal, Linlin had someone clear the table and asked Lang Xuan, "Would you like to go for a walk?"
Lang Xuan asked in surprise, "Is that okay?"
Today is their wedding day...
It was already dusk outside; were the two of them going out for a walk at this hour?
Linlin teased her deliberately, "I was worried your stomach might be upset."
"I don't have a stomach problem... uh..."
Lang Xuan belatedly realized that Yuwen Duo was saying he ate a lot.
But she only ate one egg that morning, and she was still very hungry.
However, since I've already accepted their offer, it's not appropriate to argue back.
"I'll eat less next time," she said.
Yuwen Duo probably dislikes fat people, and this is a subtle reminder to himself.
She was quite happy because she's the kind of person who can eat whatever she wants and never gain weight, something she used to feel insecure about.
Because everyone says that you need meat to be blessed...
Linlin said coldly, "It's good to eat more."
Lang Xuan froze.
He still prefers chubby...
"I'm not going out, I want to sleep," Lang Xuan said softly, her head down.
"It was my oversight," Linlin said. "You've had a long day, get some rest. You sleep in the bed, I'll sleep on the couch..."
How could Lang Xuan dare to object?
After washing up, she lay on the bed fully clothed, drew the curtains, and lay there stiffly as if she had been paralyzed, not daring to turn over or even breathe heavily.
--She was sleeping in the same room as Yuwen Duo.
