Chapter 409 Prince VS Little Brother 9
Chapter 409 Prince VS Little Brother 9
The soft and shiny black hair shuttled through the hands of the maids and was gradually tied into a neat and tidy bun, which made Xiao Yubai's face more beautiful and her eyebrows and eyes more picturesque. Fu Nanzhan was fascinated by her and felt that his wife was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at her.
Xiao Yubai was naturally keenly aware of the burning gaze behind him, as if there were thorns in his back, and a layer of fine goose bumps appeared on his neck.
He lowered his head, his hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, his fingertips turned white from the force, and he didn't dare to look back.
The scene when Fu Nanzhan suddenly woke up last night kept flashing in his mind like a kaleidoscope - at that time, the two were performing the Zhougong ceremony, and what was even more terrible was that he took the initiative first.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yubai felt a surge of shame rushing to his head, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. He had never encountered such an embarrassing thing in his life.
The more he thought about it, the paler his face became. His body swayed a few times and he stumbled.
"What's wrong?" Fu Nanzhan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He took a step forward and held the person firmly in his arms. His arms subconsciously tightened, his brows furrowed, and he was full of worry.
"I'm fine, Your Highness, please let me go first." Xiao Yubai bit her lower lip and struggled hard twice, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and she didn't move at all.
Helpless, he could only beg in a low voice with a red face.
With so many servants around, it is not polite to hug each other intimately in public.
Fu Nanzhan watched his face slowly turn from pale to red, then reluctantly let go, but still raised his hand to support his shoulders to prevent him from falling again.
"Let's go eat first. His Majesty is here too." Fu Nanzhan said in a low voice, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
He knew clearly in his mind that Xiao Yubai had been wronged in the palace, and the servants had withheld money and made things difficult for him. It was impossible for the butler to be unaware of this.
Although the butler usually did his job reliably, this time, Fu Nanzhan had already blamed him and secretly made up his mind that as soon as the emperor left, he would investigate and deal with all the people in the mansion one by one, without letting any of them go.
In fact, the housekeeper was really wronged this time. There were so many trivial matters in the mansion that he devoted himself to the various chores of the palace and did not really pay attention to Xiao Yubai's diet.
"Your Highness, if I'm not hungry, then I won't..." Xiao Yubai stammered. Before she finished her words, the scene of her crying in front of Fu Nanzhan last night because of hunger suddenly jumped into her mind, and she choked on the second half of her sentence.
Fu Nanzhan seemed to see through his thoughts. Without saying a word, he leaned over and gave him a princess hug, picked him up steadily, and strode towards the dining hall.
"Aren't you hungry? You only had porridge yesterday. Who was the one crying on me last night?" Fu Nanzhan lowered his head slightly, and his warm breath brushed Xiao Yubai's ears. He teased softly, his voice full of mischief.
Xiao Yubai's face instantly turned even redder with embarrassment, like a ripe tomato.
"You, how could you..." Xiao Yubai widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"I was conscious the whole time, but I just couldn't move." Fu Nanzhan's words were like a heavy hammer, making Xiao Yubai dizzy and ashamed.
If he had been conscious all along, then wouldn't he have heard all the private conversations we had had with each other?
"It's no use hiding your face, but the only thing I'm not satisfied with is that my husband's physical strength is not good enough. Every time..."
Xiao Yubai's originally pale face immediately turned red with shame.
Now he wanted to disappear immediately. In a panic, he directly reached out to cover Fu Nanzhan's mouth, and his voice was tinged with tears: "Prince, please let me go in broad daylight."
Fu Nanzhan looked at the flushed cheeks of the person in his arms, and the tips of her ears were flushed with an alluring red. In the end, he could not bear to tease her anymore, and a doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I won't say anything, and I will listen to my husband."
"Prince, please let me down." Xiao Yubai pleaded in a low voice.
"No, you're not feeling well and have been hungry for so long. I'll carry you so we can walk faster. From now on, just call me that. You don't have to call yourself your concubine." After Fu Nanzhan finished speaking, he hugged Xiao Yubai tightly and walked faster and faster.
Xiao Yubai listened to Fu Nanzhan's words without saying anything. After all, he couldn't break free and it would be easy to anger him, so it was better to stay there honestly.
The most important thing is that Xiao Yubai didn't know what Fu Nanzhan meant. They had never met before, so it couldn't be said that they liked each other. Just because it was an arranged marriage and he wanted to bring good luck to him, that's why he acted like this?
Xiao Yubai's brain, which was not very smart to begin with, became even more confused. Fortunately, he had a good habit, which was to give up when he couldn't figure it out.
Fu Nanzhan walked steadily all the way and carried Xiao Yubai straight into the dining hall.
Inside the room, Emperor Fu Runze had been waiting for a long time. Seeing this scene, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of confusion: "Little Uncle, what is this?"
Fu Nanzhan has always been a casual person. He has a deep friendship with Fu Runze. Fu Runze is like a teacher, a friend, a father, and a brother. He usually hates those empty formalities the most, so at this moment, he didn't even bother to greet him. He walked to the table as if no one was around and gently put Xiao Yubai on the stool.
"Your imperial aunt (in Dayong, little boys can be called "ma", such as brother's ma, uncle's ma, etc., and can also be called by female titles.) was bullied, and he was not in good health, so I brought him here." Fu Nanzhan did not admit that he was the one who had troubled someone last night.
