breakfast time

Cen Nan saw that Xia Lan hadn't moved, so he didn't move either.

He raised his eyes and glanced diagonally at Leng Zongmu, his eyes were bloodshot, it seemed that last night was also extremely tormented.

Fortunately, Cen Nan turned his head slightly to look at Xia Lan beside him, and his complexion was not bad.

"No need to wait, Nan'er, eat quickly," Leng Zongmu said with a frown.

"Let's wait a little longer," Xia Lan said as she lowered her head slightly and looked at Cen Nan, "Is Nan'er hungry?".

Just as Cen Nan was about to open his mouth to answer, an unpleasant voice came from his ear.

"Ruan'er is late, I hope brother Mu and sister Xia will forgive me"

Obviously the words were addressed to the two of them, but the gaze seemed to be glued to Leng Zongmu.

"It's not appropriate to address people like this, but they should still be called princes and concubines," said Leng Zongmu with a stern expression.

Ning Ruan's face froze slightly when he heard the words, but he still responded with courtesy, "Yes, my lord".

"It's just a name, you can call me whatever you like." Xia Lan said at the right time to ease the atmosphere, "Come on, sister, please sit down."

The original warm and cheerful dining atmosphere has changed since Leng Zongmu entered the drunk red building at night. At the worst time, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

In the past two days, Cen Nan's attitude has loosened, and finally eased up a little bit, but when Ning Ruan came, the atmosphere instantly became depressed again.

Both Cen Nan and Leng Zongmu had sullen faces, they didn't speak a word, they just ate in silence, looking really scary.

The entire dining room was eerily silent. Xia Lan's eyes quickly swept across the faces of the two of them, and then she sighed silently in her heart.

"Don't patronize the porridge, come, have a crystal dumpling." Xia Lan reached out and picked up a crystal dumpling and put it on the plate in front of Leng Zongmu.

Ning Ruan is not stupid, she knows why this "weird" atmosphere is, after a little thought, she reached out to pick up a piece of shortbread, but before she put it on Leng Zongmu's plate, she found that Xia Lan had already She took a step, and after a moment of hesitation, she turned around and put the things on the plate in front of Cen Nan.

"Nan'er is growing up, so he needs to eat more."

The little brow frowned suddenly, and she raised her head and was about to refuse, but when she received Xia Lan's soft eyes that seemed to be pleading, she had to swallow them back. After struggling for a while, she replied stiffly, " Thanks".

Not two days after the wedding of Leng Zongmu and Ning Ruan, there were rumors in the streets and alleys, saying that on the night of the bridal chamber, King Pingnan never stepped into the new house, even the bride's hijab was not removed. He slept directly in the study.

From then on, it can be seen that the previous so-called theory that King Pingnan disliked the concubine and had nothing to do with her for many years, and that she had a secret love affair with Ning Ruan, Miss Ningfu, was completely nonsense.It must be that Miss Ning's own wishful thinking, secretly promised the prince, and even tried to seize the title of Princess Pingnan.To achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to maliciously spread rumors to slander the princess, and even designed to make the prince and her husband and wife, and finally had to marry her to enter the door.

The rumors spread so loudly that almost everyone knew about them, and Ning Kai was so angry that he almost died.

No, on the day of returning to Ning, after Leng Zongmu and Ning Ruan had just sat down for a while, Ning Ruan was taken away by his mother's excuse that they hadn't seen each other for a few days, saying that the two had a lot of intimate things to say, so they were taken away. Leng Zongmu and Ning Kai are in the living room.

Ning Kai's complexion looked a little ugly, but Leng Zongmu was more than that. Originally, he didn't want to come here, but Xia Lan persuaded him several times, and he didn't want to go against his intentions, so he reluctantly Accompanied by Ning Ruan.

"The rumors are true"

"Is General Ning questioning this king?!" Leng Zongmu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Hearing this, Ning Kai's face turned ugly again, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "It's only natural for the old man to care about his beloved daughter, not to mention that the old man's official rank is only one and a half levels lower than yours, even if You don’t have any official position, you married an old man and love your daughter, but you still need to call this old man father-in-law. Father-in-law cares about his daughter and son-in-law, is there anything wrong with that? Your lord!”

With a sound of "click", the lid of the cup suddenly closed on the teacup, Leng Zongmu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then father-in-law wants to teach me how to be a husband and how to do things in the house?!".

Although Leng Zongmu is a prince, he has made great military achievements, and he is very majestic in front of the soldiers, but he never puts on a superior posture and treats others with courtesy. Even when facing Ning Kai, who is often against him, he can still respect his elders , Modest and polite.

But at this moment, Ning Kai said such insulting words in front of Ning Kai's face, and the words were threatening. It was the first time Ning Kai saw such an aggressive and tricky appearance. While shocked, more It was anger, and his old face was flushed with anger.

"You, you are"

On the other side, Mrs. Ning directly dragged Ning Ruan to the house where she used to live.

Before he was seated, he asked out the doubts in his heart.

"Is the rumor true? You two are serious"

Halfway through the conversation, Ning Ruan looked sad, wronged and unwilling, so it was self-evident whether it was true or not.

Madam Ning sighed, stretched out her hand and patted the back of Ning Ruan's hand reassuringly, "Since you are married, there is no need to be too anxious."

What Mrs. Ning meant, since he married you, he must not leave you alone forever.If it was the past, Ning Ruanding would also think the same way, but they have been married for several days, but Leng Zongmu has not even stepped into the new house.

That's all, on the second day of the wedding, Leng Zongmu set three rules with her. First, don't step into the main courtyard at will, and don't disturb unless summoned by the princess;

Second, don't get close to Nan'er without authorization, Nan'er is like the princess or son of the palace, you all need to love, protect, and respect him;

The first two are fine, but Ning Ruan really can't accept the third one, the two are already husband and wife, there is no reason why a wife can't get close to her husband.But before she raised any objections, Leng Zongmu said indifferently, "If it can't be done, we will make up immediately."

Ning Ruan asked herself, Xia Lan was not inferior in appearance, talent, and family background, why should she be treated like this!Coupled with the rumors about her these two days, she was even more unwilling and resentful.

"How can my daughter just sit around and let others bully her?"

Mrs. Ning's face changed slightly when she heard the words, and she hurriedly persuaded, "Get married and follow your husband, don't mess around and annoy him again. In my mother's opinion, he must have heard the rumors a few days ago and mistakenly thought that the rumors about the princess It came from you that from now on, you only need to respect the princess everywhere and put the princess first in everything, and you can gradually dispel his doubts... ".

It was almost noon, and Xia Lan was leaning on the couch reading a book, when Man'er walked in suddenly.

"My lord, the second lady has just returned to the mansion, but the prince did not come back together"

"Um"

Is this going to the barracks again?Putting down the scroll in his hand, it seems that he can only ask him after nightfall.

Yesterday, Xia Lan heard the rumors circulating, thinking that Nan'er was mischievous and asked Qing Ning or Mo Er to do it, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this matter was imposed on Nan'er without confirmation It's really inappropriate, not to mention, last time Nan'er asked her not to punish Qing Ning and Mo Er, she promised her that she would not be so mischievous in the future, Xia Lan felt that it would be more appropriate to ask her personally.

So, after taking a bath last night, Xia Lan came to Cen Nan's room. At that time, Cen Nan was reading on the couch. Seeing her coming, he quickly put down the book in his hands. Tea.

Xia Lan was thinking about how to speak up, "Sister Lan, you might as well speak up if you have something to say."

"I wonder if Nan'er heard the rumors on the street today?"

"Yeah," Cen Nan took a sip of tea, looked up at Xia Lan, "but it's not me."

Since Nan'er said that, it must not be her. After thinking about it, there is only one person, third brother...

At night, Cen Nan, who had just climbed out of the tub, couldn't help shivering, then hurriedly reached out and took the dry cloth towel beside him, wiped his body indiscriminately, and quickly put his clothes on.

Wearing a white coat, I walked to the stove, roasting the red charcoal fire, and I just wanted to say, "Life in winter is given by fire."

The sound of "tick, tick..." suddenly sounded in this quiet night, which made people feel a little creepy.

But Cen Nan sighed, and then reached out his hands helplessly to brush the wet hair at the back of his head. Washing hair in this winter is really terrible, and there is no hair dryer.

I got up and went to get the dry towel next to me, and then started to wipe vigorously, as if I heard a knock on the door.

"please come in"

"What if Nan'er catches a cold like this?"

A coolness suddenly slipped across the warm back of his hand, causing a sudden palpitation. When he turned around, he saw a fur-collared cape on his shoulders, and Xia Lan was standing behind him with a smile on his face, the fiery red charcoal fire Reflecting the washed-out face, the eyebrows and eyes are curved, and the smile is full, which is touching.

"You don't wipe your hair like this," Xia Lan said, reaching for the dry towel in Cen Nan's hand naturally, "It's like Nan'er just did, but it's about to be wiped."

Cen Nan sat in front, and Xia Lan sat behind, gently wiping his hair, the time was quiet and slowly flowing.

Since the day Leng Zongmu married Ning Ruan, Xia Lan and Cen Nan have slept together more often, and Cen Nan knows why.

However, even if Xia Lan was not in their room, Leng Zongmu would rather sleep in it alone than go to the courtyard.Even if he went to the side courtyard, he only stayed in the study and never stepped into Ning Ruan's room.

"It's not an option to go on like this," Cen Nan couldn't help but said.

The people behind didn't answer, and Cen Nan didn't care, and continued, "Sister Lan also knows that twisted melons are not sweet."

Feeling the movements at the back of his head subconsciously slow down, he sighed in his heart.

"Emotions can be cultivated", and the soft tone makes people unable to hear the ups and downs of emotions.

For a moment, Cen Nan suddenly wanted to ask, "Then you and him also developed a relationship?".

But looking back at Xia Lan, the words that came out of his mouth became, "This can't knock people out and send them away."

Xia Lan was startled when she heard the words, and seeing the mischievous look in Cen Nan's brows and eyes, she immediately revealed a sad expression, "Does Nan Er not want to sleep with Sister Lan when she says such things?".

"..."

Hearing this, Cen Nan's little face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly turned his back, complaining in his heart that his mind was not right.

This scene did not escape Xia Lan's eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly, wanting to tease Cen Nan.

"Why is Nan'er blushing?"

“… charcoal grilled”

"Then why are the tips of your ears red?"

Cen Nan held back for a long time, "Well, that's because of you, Sister Lan, who made you popular."

"Oh, it seems that it is sister Lan's fault."

"..."
