With a loud bang, Pei Mochen fell heavily backwards and lay directly on the ground, unconscious no longer.

"Oh, my son, my royal son——"

"Someone come quickly, come and see my Chen'er——"

Nanny Gui ran forward before Xiao Rong and took a look. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't be afraid, Madam. I can smell the wine on the prince. He must have drunk too much today."

"I will go find the imperial physician and ask him to prepare some hangover soup. Your Highness should be better tomorrow."

Nanny Gui thought, it’s a good thing, the prince beat her today only because he drank too much and was not in a clear mind, and not because he really intended to blame her.

Yes, she is still the prince’s wet nurse, and her position in the palace is still unshakable.

At this time, Xiao Rong also stepped forward and touched her son's face. She smelled a strong smell of alcohol and finally felt relieved.

Fortunately, Chen'er only contradicted me today because he was drunk, and Chen'er did not do it on purpose.

Then, Concubine Xiao shouted at Mu Wanyan, "Why don't you help your husband go into the house and rest?"

"No one in Jianjia Pavilion is allowed to fall asleep tonight. If Chen'er feels uncomfortable tomorrow morning, I will ask you for help."

She stared at Mu Wanyan viciously, and now she no longer wanted to pretend to be merciful.

Mu Wanyan pretended to be obedient and bowed to her, then helped Pei Mochen into the house.

What bad luck! Pei Mochen will be sleeping on her bed tonight.

Hiss, my waist and hands hurt so much. This Aunt Gui was so cruel. How should she retaliate?

As for the matter of forty strokes of the cane, Xiao Rong did not dare to mention it again.

It is said that wine is a good thing. She was not sure whether Pei Mochen was really confused or telling the truth after getting drunk.

Seeing Pei Mochen drunk and unconscious, Xiao Rong thought it was the former. However, thinking of Mu Wanyan's charming appearance, she felt that the latter was also very likely.

-

After everyone left, Mu Wanyan helped Pei Mochen to the bed.

She lay on the chaise longue beside him, unwilling to sleep with him.

Pei Mochen kept talking nonsense on the bed, sometimes laughing, sometimes humming.

Sometimes he cursed Di Xiuyan for being cruel, and sometimes he called Pei Yuzhu an idiot, but the name he mentioned the most was Mu Wanyan's.

"Yan Yan, Yan Yan, Yan Yan..."

"This king has no choice..."

“Yan Yan, Yan Yan, Yan Yan…I am sorry for you.”

He kept murmuring, sometimes laughing, sometimes frowning and humming, and from time to time he stretched out a big hand towards the sky, trying to grab Mu Wanyan's hand.

Mu Wanyan didn't want to respond to him, but she couldn't sleep because of his noise.

So he asked Xiang Qin to call over the personal eunuch who had always served Pei Mochen.

"Xiao Shunzi, come on, stretch out your hand."

Mu Wanyan picked up some ointment and asked Xiangqin and Xiaotao to apply it on Xiao Shunzi's hands.

“Princess, what is this…?” Xiao Shunzi was puzzled.

Mu Wanyan: "My hand is injured, and it's full of needle holes. I can't serve the prince anymore."

"If the prince doesn't sleep with a delicate hand tonight, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep well."

Xiao Shunzi: "Princess, but I am a man."

He looked around at the maids. Which maid's hands were not whiter and tenderer than his, a eunuch's?

Mu Wanyan: "I love the prince very much. No matter which palace maid holds the prince's hand, I will be dissatisfied in my heart."

"After thinking about it, only my father-in-law is the most suitable."

Mu Wanyan thought to herself, I am one of the good girls in the room, and if anyone lets Pei Mochen touch his hand, it would be a disgrace to him.

Xiao Shunzi showed an expression that was uglier than crying, "Princess, this... this is really difficult for me."

Mu Wanyan: "It's time for the eunuch to show his loyalty to the prince."

Xiao Shunzi: "Okay, I obey your command."

Money is hard to earn, death is hard to eat.

He sat down on the floor under the bed, frowned, and stretched out his ointment-covered hand towards Pei Mochen.

Pei Mochen touched a warm "little hand", his brows finally relaxed, and he slowly smiled.

The man stopped humming, and held "Mu Wanyan's" hand, rubbing it slowly, and occasionally leaning it against his face.

Xiao Shunzi was horrified, thinking that he just couldn't do anything humane, not that there was anything wrong with his sexual orientation.

He looked at Mu Wanyan for help, "Master, I am really scared. I am terrified."

Mu Wanyan: "Don't worry, I'm also in the bedroom, the prince can't eat you."

She took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into Xiao Shunzi's sleeve. "If the prince can't sleep well, no one can take the responsibility. Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Shunzi: "Yes, slave... obey your command!"

After receiving the money, one can only do things for the master. However, this new princess looks harmless and pitiful, but when it comes to doing things, it seems that she knows how to use both kindness and severity better than the prince.

-

The next day, dawn.

Pei Mochen slept particularly comfortably this time. When he woke up, he found Mu Wanyan sleeping soundly beside the bed.

A distressed look appeared on his face, "Yan Yan, why don't you come to sleep on the bed?"

But after I said it, I felt it was not appropriate.

It seemed that he was not used to sleeping on the same bed with Mu Wanyan. So, she was quite tactful last night.

After Pei Mochen changed his clothes, he called Chunmei and gave her an oral order: let her take Mu Wanyan to the palace to pay her respects to Xiao Rong.

And learn some necessary Dafeng etiquette. In short, he told Chunmei:

"The princess is not allowed to return home before noon today."

(Pei Mochen had already forgotten everything that happened last night when he was drunk. He didn’t know that Mu Wanyan going to Concubine Xiao now was like a sheep walking into a tiger’s mouth.)

……

After sending Mu Wanyan away, Pei Mochen ordered his men to gather all her maids who came with her as a dowry into the palace without delay.

Including Xiangqin and Xiaotao, Xichang had a total of sixteen maids who married in, all of whom were Mu Wanyan's confidants and close friends.

They all have fair skin, graceful figures, slightly curly brown hair, and can be considered first-class beauties.

But Pei Mochen still frowned, not very satisfied.

He paced back and forth in the hall, his eyes full of disgust.

Sometimes she disliked the maids for being vulgar and womanizing, and sometimes she disliked them for being childish, like three-year-old babies.

Pei Mochen closed his eyes in boredom, thinking that they were all inferior and none of them could be even half as good as Mu Wanyan.

Oh, how could I fool Di Xiuyan’s cunning eyes?

Pei Mochen felt annoyed for a while. He patiently looked at these maids several times and asked them many questions about music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Finally, I picked the tallest one among the short ones and kept the prettiest one, Xiaotao.

She was the most clever of the maids who came with the dowry, and had also read some poetry and books.

When her voice was submissive, she was somewhat similar to Mu Wanyan, and her skin was slightly whiter than the other girls.

"That's it for her, everyone else go down."

Xiang Qin was the most anxious, not knowing what King Chen was up to.

Could it be that he wanted to keep Xiaotao and make her his concubine?

Xiang Qin was indignant. It had only been a few days since Prince Chen married his princess, and now he was actually setting his sights on the maid that came with his dowry. It really was true that no man was good.

Haha, he looks like a decent human being, but not as open-minded as the handsome young man Hua Wuzui.

……

Xiao Tao saw everyone disperse and she also felt something was wrong.

She began to pull her collar closer intentionally or unintentionally, fearing that Pei Mochen would pounce on her at any time.
