By the time Song Wan remembered Shen Qianyu's words, the sun had already set.
When she came out of Shang Rong's palace, she was in a hurry to go to Yi Pavilion.
Seeing her anxiety, Heng Zhi said softly: "Chenghui doesn't have to rush back. It's not yet evening. His Highness the Crown Prince shouldn't have come so early. And if His Highness arrives at Laiyi Pavilion and doesn't see Chenghui, he will definitely come back." Someone will be sent to look for it.”
During the day, the prince didn't say he wanted to have dinner at Laiyi Pavilion, so he didn't think he would arrive so early.
After whispering a few words of comfort to Song Wan, the two of them gradually slowed down.
When Song Wan slowed down, he also felt that he was a little too cautious. At this time, he was afraid that the prince had not finished his political affairs. She smiled faintly at Heng Zhi, and the two of them went back to Yi Pavilion. Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked near Laiyi Pavilion, I saw the lights inside clearly indicating that the prince had arrived.
Song Wan was startled and hurriedly walked in.
Shen Qianyu was sitting on the beauty's couch in the room reviewing papers. Not far away was the bed covered with curtains, but he didn't dare to take a second look.
Turning his back to that imaginative place, he turned over the book in his hand out of boredom.
Most of these are useless things, and it will inevitably make people angry if they see too much of them.
"Song Chenghui."
Seeing Song Wan enter the room, Luan Jian called softly. Shen Qianyu raised his head and hurriedly got down to help Song Wan, who was about to kneel down again.
"You all stand down."
After retreating from everyone, he pointed to the vacant seat opposite him and said, "Sit down."
"I didn't know that Your Highness came so early. If I knew that I would make a decision next time..."
Shen Qianyu shook his head and said in a gentle tone: "Wan'er, you don't have to be like this."
"Don't treat me like an emperor, just treat me...as an ordinary man."
The tips of Shen Qianyu's ears were slightly warm, and seeing Song Wan's eyes widening after hearing his words, he couldn't help but feel a little shy: "It was wrong for me to hide my identity before, but I really like how normal you are towards me. .”
He has been a hostage since he was a child, and no one taught him how to deal with things like cleaning. Shen Qianyu feels that he can survive to this day, firstly, because he is lucky enough, and secondly, because he always acts on instinct.
Before he even knew that he admired Song Wan, he had already thought of protecting him by his side. Now that he could see clearly in his heart, he hoped that the two of them would fall in love soon.
His wife is a smart woman. If she keeps deceiving her, it will only make her wary. It is better to pour out all her thoughts. Based on his understanding of Wan'er, even if the other party doesn't like him now, he won't be disgusted with him because of it.
With Song Wan as a person, if he treats her with sincerity, he will definitely gain her sincerity.
Shen Qianyu took out a pack of Liuji crispy candies from behind and slowly pushed it in front of Song Wan: "This... a friend knows that you like to eat it, so I bought it for you today."
Song Wan looked at Liu Ji Sutang in front of him, a little puzzled by the vague meaning of his words.
Isn't it her brother who knows that she likes to eat this candy?
"I'll open it for you."
Reaching out to peel off the greased paper on the outside of the candy, Shen Qianyu continued: "You and I have known each other before. You know my temperament and I also know you. Now that you have entered the East Palace, I will also know you in the future." I will wait for you later, then we..."
"Can we just be a normal couple?"
Song Wan raised his head suddenly. He really... had never heard such words before.
"You don't have to rush to reply to me, just listen to me first."
Shen Qianyu pursed his lips, thought for a while and then said: "Since ancient times, emperors and empresses have often been at odds with each other, because they are involved in too many calculations. But I know Wan'er's character, and you will not like this."
"I grew up outside and have seen too many evil people. I don't want to have to be wary of the person next to me in my sleep for the rest of my life."
"Wan'er, you and I both know that sincerity is rare, but there must be someone who reveals it first. If I can win your heart with my sincerity, then I would like to throw it out for you to test."
He took out a piece of halva from the oil paper bag and handed it to Song Wan. Song Wan took it blankly and held it in his hand.
Shen Qianyu was not in a hurry for her to express her position, and just waited silently.
His Wan'er is smart and kind. If she knows someone else's kindness, she will definitely sing in return.
Sure enough, Song Wan lowered his eyes and said softly after a long time: "Actually, I don't like this candy very much."
Her smile was gentle and affectionate, and her tone was slightly soothing: "I always loved eating these things when I was a child. My brother would often bring me some after school, but then I..."
Song Wan raised his head and looked at Shen Qianyu calmly: "Later, I married into the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, and I haven't eaten it for a long time."
Shen Qianyu said: "Wan'er doesn't need to be so cautious about testing. If I had the intention of looking down on your second marriage, I would not accept you into the East Palace."
His first words made Song Wan a little unable to resist, and he couldn't help but turn away with some embarrassment.
Shen Qianyu was not in a hurry, and just sat down opposite her, waiting quietly for Song Wan to open up to him.
"When I was a widow in the Hou Mansion, I ate mostly light meals, with little meat and no wine. As time went by, I also felt that this candy was too sweet."
This was the first time Shen Qianyu heard Song Wan say that she didn't like and didn't want to do this. He was so happy that he couldn't even sit still for a while, so he had to keep adjusting his sitting position.
His wife told him she didn't like the candy!
"If you don't like something, you have to tell me in the future."
Song Wan looked at Shen Qianyu, smiled and nodded.
She didn't say this in the past because she really felt that such insignificant things were not worth mentioning. If she said she liked it and the person who gave the gift could make the person who gave the gift happy, what was wrong with her being happy too? But for some reason, when she heard Shen Qianyu say that he wanted to be an ordinary couple with her, she couldn't help but feel fascinated.
Be an ordinary couple...
She had also had this thought before, but she didn't know when such thoughts were submerged in the unpredictable human mind.
Song Wan thought for a moment and whispered, "I don't know what an ordinary couple is like."
No matter she, Jiang Xingjian or Shen Qianyu, they are destined not to be an ordinary couple.
But she wanted to try.
No matter how estranged the two of them were in the future, she wanted to give it a try now.
Ordinary couples probably live a life of discussion and discussion, with the man farming and the woman weaving. She doesn't have to worry about him harming her, and she doesn't have to constantly plan how to seek benefits from him.
If from now on, the two of them can join hands and treat each other sincerely, there is no way they can be like ordinary couples in the market, supporting each other through their busy lives.
"I don't know either."
Shen Qianyu pressed his hand against his heart that was beating like thunder, and while controlling the corners of his lips that were about to reach his ears, he said, "How about you tell me a little bit about what you don't like?"
Song Wan nodded slightly with a smile on his lips.
Seeing this, Shen Qianyu trembled and stretched out a hand, stumbling and saying: "I...I'm going to hold your hand. If you don't like it, tell me."
The man's well-jointed palm was attached to the girl's soft and white hand. The scars on the back of his hand, which had been protected by ointment every day, had faded a lot, but now that the two hands stood side by side, Shen Qianyu still felt that he had been injured for many years. The hand with slightly deformed joints is difficult to see and dazzle.
It was hard to see that touching Song Wan's palm seemed to have blasphemed her.
