After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Now that the grave relocation is complete, it’s time for Lu Jiangnian to get down to business.

"My lady, I will ride a fast horse to Bazhong today and will be back in the evening."

Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru mentioned the matter of Du Yong. If he didn't have this excuse, he might not have been able to leave Beijing to find her.

"If you're in a hurry, you can come back early tomorrow morning."

Bazhong is not far from Nanjiang County, but the roads there are mostly rugged and difficult to walk on, so it may not be possible to reach there in one day.

Lu Jiangnian lowered his voice and spoke softly, "I'm not in a hurry. I don't care about this short distance at all. It's autumn now, and it's not hard to ride a horse at a fast pace. Besides, the night is long, and I don't want to waste time outside."

Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "Whatever. I'm going to help Xiaojie today. I don't know if I can cure his illness."

His eyes were deep: "My lady, don't be too embarrassed. Just do your best."

"I have my measure."

Yuan Wanru didn't take it seriously and replied casually. Lu Jiangnian stood up, took her hand and walked to the window: "Open it and see if you like it."

On the wooden table by the window were three brocade boxes. Yuan Wanru asked curiously, "When were these things placed here?"

Not last night.

Lu Jiangnian stood behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, leaned forward slightly and said in her ear: "I asked Xuanqing to deliver it this morning."

She could feel his breath falling on her ears, carrying a warm breath. She smiled slightly, no need to guess, there was probably another little gift from him inside.

When it was opened, the first brocade box contained a golden phoenix hairpin. When it was picked up, one could see that the phoenix was holding a string of pearls of uniform size in its mouth, and rubies were dotted underneath the beads. The material was luxurious and the style was exquisite.

In the second box was a pair of silver hairpins with kingfisher feathers and inlaid sapphires with plum blossoms. The plum blossoms had five layers inside and outside, and were exquisite and unique, making the large, round sapphire even more eye-catching.

The third brocade box contained a double-ring jade pendant. The rings of the jade pendant were carved with patterns of fish playing in the water, which were cute and lively, with smooth lines.

Lu Jiangnian had been paying attention to her expression. When he saw that her eyes were bright and interested, he knew that these things had caught her eye.

Yuan Wanru turned her head to look at him: "Why did you give me so much at once?"

He usually gave gifts, and the things he gave away were all of the best quality. However, he used to give them one by one, but this time he gave three at once.

Lu Jiangnian smiled as brightly as the breeze and the moon: "I gave too much before, and my wife probably wouldn't accept it."

He seemed to be thinking of some bad memories, lowering his eyes and whispering: "At the beginning, my wife was determined to draw a clear line between us. I gave you money but you didn't want it. How could I dare to give you more."

"Now, things are naturally different. No matter how much I give her, my wife won't refuse it."

Yuan Wanru was speechless. He was quite vindictive.

When she was going to the East Palace for a banquet, Wang Min asked Lu Jiangnian to give her some money to buy clothes and jewelry, but she refused.

Unexpectedly, he still remembered this incident.

"Just give it to me. I will accept it all from now on."

The situation has changed. He wants to please her, so why shouldn't she accept it? What if it dampens his enthusiasm and he stops giving her gifts in the future? That would be a big loss.

She stood on tiptoe, her red lips close to his, but she didn't kiss him: "Thank you, husband."

Lu Jiangnian's eyebrows were smiling, his eyes doting and his voice encouraging: "Verbal thanks? My wife, you are too careless. Your husband is waiting."

Yuan Wanru smiled and kissed him directly, but Lu Jiangnian was naughty and turned his face away deliberately, and her lips fell on his cheek.

She was stunned for a moment. This was not like his style. She took the initiative, but he avoided her?

Yuan Wanru usually likes to use osmanthus perfume, but she doesn't like strong fragrance. As she moves, the elegant osmanthus fragrance emanates from her body, impacting Lu Jiangnian's sense of smell and making him even more excited.

However, this time, he didn't want to take the initiative. He stared at her with a deep gaze: "If I dodge, will you not kiss me anymore?"

“People need perseverance.”

He just wanted to feel what it felt like to be chased and kissed by her.

It must feel better than when he takes the initiative.

Yuan Wanru was a little confused at first, but when she met his suppressed eyes, she understood.

Does this person want to be arrogant and play the trick of playing the role of wanting to refuse but also wanting to accept?

Yeah.

She doesn't mind pampering him once. He's her own man, so she should pamper him herself.

Her slender, white fingers touched his angular face, from his sharp brow to the tip of his handsome nose, and then to his thin lips. Finally, she lifted his chin and said lazily and ambiguously, "Sit down. You're standing so tall, how can I kiss you?"

He was ordered by her, but his heart was as sweet as drinking honey. He sat down on the chair obediently, raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, come quickly."

Yuan Wanru almost burst out laughing at the look of the little boy waiting to be ravaged by her.

However, someone narrowed his eyes slightly, with an intoxicated expression. If she laughed, she was worried that he would go berserk and kill her on the spot.

"Be good, I'll be right there."

Yuan Wanru lowered her head and slowly moved towards him. Seeing the upward curve of his lips, she knew how happy he was.

They kissed so many times, but he couldn't hold back and kissed her like a wolf.

This was the first time she took the initiative to kiss him.

It feels quite novel.

Lu Jiangnian felt that her breath was getting closer and closer, and his heart was beating very fast.

Finally, soft lips landed on his, and at that moment, his mind seemed to be full of flowers.

Feeling that she seemed to be about to leave, his hands had their own will and had already grasped her, turning passive into active, and kissed her deeply.

Yuan Wanru hummed softly a few times, but obediently hugged his narrow waist, sat on his lap, and endured his passionate kiss.

I don't know how long it took, but he slowly became gentle, rubbing my ears and licking me, and finally, everything stopped.

He hugged the person and said angrily, "I really don't want to go to Bazhong anymore."

Yuan Wanru chuckled and looked at him mockingly: "I don't believe it."

Although he likes her, he is not love-brained. He will not be vague about such a big thing.

As expected, he chuckled and kissed the top of her head: "My lady really understands me."

A man who only knows how to talk about love can never be relied upon by others. He wants love and power, and the two are not in conflict.

The two of them sat together quietly. Although they didn't speak, they both felt extremely at peace with each other.

It’s getting late. If we don’t leave now, we may not be able to get back in the afternoon.

Lu Jiangnian took Xuanqing to Bazhong and left Xuanying behind.

Xuanqing really wanted to stay, but the prince felt that his martial arts skills were not as good as Xuanying's, and he was not qualified enough to protect the prince's wife.

He looked at Liu Yan standing with the Crown Prince's wife in a depressed mood. When would this girl finally come to her senses? He had tried to show his goodwill several times along the way, but it was of no use at all.

The last few times I gave her food, she accepted it. But today I gave her a silver hairpin, and she turned around and ran away as if she had seen a flood or a beast.

It was a waste of feeding.
