I failed again

Along the way, Jun Yanan discovered that every tree and blade of grass in the Prince's Mansion still retained the same appearance as before he left, and had not changed. The familiar buildings alleviated Jun Yanan's sad mood to a great extent.

The decoration in Shuiyunxuan remained the same, except for the red silk that was there on the day he left.

Jun Yan'an looked at these arrangements and in a trance he still thought he was still in the time when they had just gotten married and he had not been away for nearly a year.

Jun Yan'an sat down on the couch. This familiar scene brought his memory back to a year ago.

On the morning of the second day after the wedding night, he was woken up by Ling Yanchen.

Jun Yan'an took away Ling Yanchen's hand that was messing with him and glared at him unhappily.

He didn't let him rest last night and he came to bother him again today. I really want to beat him up.

But at this moment, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, his body was mottled with red spots, and he was lying in Ling Yanchen's arms. This glance really did not have much killing power.

Ling Yanchen smiled and leaned over to kiss the corners of Jun Yan'an's red eyes, his hands sliding dishonestly on Jun Yan'an's body. He really loved this coquettish look of his An'an.

Seeing that Ling Yanchen's hand was about to slide down again, Jun Yan'an could no longer bear it and reached out to slap Ling Yanchen's hand. Unexpectedly, Ling Yanchen held his hand back, pulled it to his lips and kissed him.

Jun Yan'an wanted to pull his hand away, but Ling Yanchen held it tightly. He stared at Ling Yanchen and said word by word, "Ling. Yan. Chen. Let. Go."

Ling Yanchen obediently let go and turned to kiss Jun Yanan's lips. Jun Yanan slapped him directly. Ling Yanchen buried his head in Jun Yanan's neck and said aggrievedly, "I already let go obediently, why are you hitting me?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his head against Jun Yan'an's neck, adding another mark to that slender, jade-like neck.

"Get out of the way." Jun Yan'an pushed him away and sat up. The quilt naturally slipped off, revealing a large area of ​​his chest. There were still many marks left on it from Ling Yanchen last night. His fair skin made those marks even more dazzling. "Give me my clothes."

Ling Yanchen's eyes fell on Jun Yan'an. After a long time, under Jun Yan'an's puzzled gaze, he took out clothes and helped Jun Yan'an put on them one by one.

Because he had just gotten married, all the clothes prepared for Jun Yan'an were bright red.

These red clothes are of fine texture and smooth to the touch. They are also embroidered with countless golden threads, skillfully creating lifelike phoenix patterns.

The clothes fit Jun Yan'an's slender body perfectly. Every line was smooth and natural, showing his perfect body proportions to the fullest.

The gorgeous clothes were like a layer of bright light, gently enveloping his body, making him look noble and extraordinary.

Her already outstanding features become even more alluring against this outfit.

Ling Yanchen was actually dazzled for a moment. He seldom saw Jun Yanan wearing such bright colors. Yesterday's wedding dress was the first time, and today was the second time. Every time he couldn't take his eyes off her. He wished he could take off Jun Yanan's clothes and push him onto the bed to do whatever he wanted.

Ling Yanchen kissed the red mole between Jun Yanan's eyebrows and said in a hoarse voice, "You should wear more brightly colored clothes..." After a pause, he looked at Jun Yanan's stunning face and continued, "Don't wear it outside, just wear it for me."

"You have to wear it for three days." Jun Yan'an said. He didn't like clothes with too bright colors, but that was the custom in Ling Country. Newlyweds had to wear red clothes for three days after their wedding to celebrate. Since he was married, he had to follow the local customs.

"Then you should stay in the house for the next three days." Ling Yanchen said with a smile, "I already have enough rivals in love, I don't want to have any more."

"Okay." Jun Yan'an said.

"I knew you wouldn't agree. I was just kidding..." Ling Yanchen's eyes widened suddenly. "What did you just say?"

An An actually agreed?

Ling Yanchen was just talking, in his heart he was reluctant to lock Jun Yanan in the room against his will, but if Jun Yanan agreed himself, that would be a different matter.

"I agree." Jun Yan'an reached out and climbed onto Ling Yanchen's shoulders. "I'll stay here with you for the next three days."

Ling Yanchen's eyes were full of joy. He didn't expect that An An would agree to his casual suggestion.

Ling Yanchen was not happy for long and soon calmed down. Based on his understanding of An An, there was no way she would agree to it. Even if she agreed, she would negotiate conditions with him and seek benefits for herself.

And now...

"Where are you going in three days?" Ling Yanchen asked, putting his hand on Jun Yan'an's waist.

Jun Yan'an lowered his eyes somewhat guiltily to avoid Ling Yanchen's sight and said, "Zhao State. The Nangong family has been making more and more moves recently. I need to go over and deal with it."

Ling Yanchen's hand stroked Jun Yan'an's waist and asked, "How long will it take?"

"It's hard to say." Jun Yan'an said, "If everything goes well, it will take at least three months."

"If I remember correctly, Zhao State is where Jun Chenyang's influence is strongest," said Ling Yanchen.

Jun Chenyang was the traitor from the Jun family who defected to the Nangong family. After losing to Jun Yan'an three years ago, he fled to the Nangong family to become a guest elder.

Even though Jun Yan'an cleaned out many of Jun Chenyang's faction after he took complete power, there were still many of his subordinates in the Jun family, and almost all of them gathered in Zhao State.

Therefore, Jun Yanan’s trip to Zhao State this time would not be smooth no matter what.

Jun Yan'an buried his head in his chest and replied with a muffled "hmm".

Ling Yanchen was a little unhappy. They had just been married for a short time, and this should have been the best time to be affectionate and cultivate their relationship. However, Jun Yanan was leaving in three days and his return date was not certain.

But seeing Jun Yanan's depressed look, Ling Yanchen didn't have the heart to say anything more. Anan didn't want to be separated from him either. It was all the fault of the damn Nangong family and Jun Chenyang!

Thinking of this, Ling Yanchen gently stroked Jun Yan'an's long hair and said, "I know you don't want to be separated from me at this time. It's okay. I'll wait for you to come back after you finish your business."

Jun Yanan looked up at Ling Yanchen and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll finish my work and come back as soon as possible."

Looking at Jun Yanan's smiling face, Ling Yanchen couldn't help but kiss him several more times. He thought, why not kiss him a few more times while he is still here? After three days, when he leaves, he won't be able to find anyone to kiss if he wants to, Ling Yanchen thought.

"Let me help you tie your hair." Ling Yanchen said, then picked up the hair crown beside him and tied up Jun Yanan's loose hair.

After taking care of Jun Yan'an, Ling Yanchen began to get himself ready. Soon, the two of them were dressed neatly and sat at the table to have breakfast.

After breakfast, the two went into the palace together, met the emperor and empress together, and then prepared to return to the prince's mansion.

Just after leaving the palace, Ling Yanchen was excitedly talking to Jun Yanan about going out for an outing in the suburbs in the afternoon, when he saw Jun Yanan's confidant Qianyu guarding the carriage at the Prince's Mansion.

Ling Yanchen immediately put away all his smiles. It was definitely not a good thing for Qianyu to come to Jun Yanan at this time.

"Master, the Nangong family attacked our halls in Zhao State last night. Three hall masters were killed, and six halls were destroyed, with no one left alive." Qian Yu said solemnly, "Zhao State is in chaos now, and Jun Chenyang's people took the opportunity to take over several attacked halls. After receiving the news, Qian Nan rushed over first."

Hearing this, Jun Yan'an frowned his beautiful eyebrows. He looked at Ling Yanchen and had already made up his mind, "Yanchen, I can't stay with you for another three days."

Ling Yanchen already knew the answer, but when he heard Jun Yanan say this in person, he couldn't help but feel depressed. He said, "Well, go ahead."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to get on the carriage, but Jun Yan'an grabbed his hand.

Ling Yanchen stopped moving, and then he was hugged from behind by Jun Yan'an.

"I'll be back soon." Jun Yan'an said, "At the latest, I will come back to spend your birthday with you."

Ling Yanchen gently placed his hand on Jun Yanan's and whispered, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back and spend my birthday with me."

Ling Yanchen turned around and hugged Jun Yanan back, "It would be best if I could come back before your birthday."

"I'll try my best." Jun Yan'an said.

"Be careful and don't get yourself hurt." Ling Yanchen warned.

Seeing Jun Yan'an nodding obediently, Ling Yanchen felt so soft in his heart. Why is An'an so obedient?

"Finally, don't dress so nicely in front of outsiders, especially those who have bad intentions towards you." Ling Yanchen said, staring at the red clothes on Jun Yan'an.

"Okay." Jun Yan'an agreed without any hesitation. If Ling Yanchen hadn't told him, he wouldn't have dressed like this. After all, he didn't like such bright colors.

After the two of them were affectionate for a while, Jun Yan'an rode on the horse that Qianyu brought and left.

Ling Yanchen stood there and watched the red color gradually fade away. He thought to himself, this was a wrong decision. I should have let An An change her clothes before leaving.
