As he spoke, he looked at Nalan Meng and said seriously: "Meng'er, in fact, I treat you and your father as friends. I have never thought of using the Nalan family to gain anything."
Hearing this "gift from a friend", Nalan Meng's heart froze slightly.
She smiled on her face and said, "I know. It's precisely because you are such a person that my father values you."
"Well, let's go in!" King Xian said, and he and Nalan Meng walked into the palace.
When everyone sat down in the main hall, the servants quickly brought tea and snacks.
After drinking a cup of tea, Nalan Jun put the tea cup on the table, looked at Xian Wang and Nalan Meng, and said: "Liu Yun, Meng'er, it has been several months since you two got married. How come it has taken so long?
, Meng'er's stomach hasn't moved yet?"
"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Nalan Meng and Xian Wang were stunned at the same time.
The two of them had been induced by Emperor Hongyuan and Concubine Jing many times recently, and now they were induced by Nalan Jun again, and they suddenly felt a pressure coming over them.
Nalan Meng hurriedly said: "Father, this..."
Seeing that Nalan Meng was difficult to answer, the wise king hurriedly replied: "Father-in-law, it's because my son-in-law has been busy with official duties these past few months, so..."
Nalan Jun interrupted: "No matter how busy you are with your official duties, you can't forget the important events in your life. You two are not young anymore. You must have a baby quickly."
The wise king nodded helplessly, "Yes, my son-in-law will do his best."
"Well, Meng'er, you have to work hard too. Having an heir is a major event in life, and you must put it first. If you don't have an heir, your efforts will be in vain, you know?" Nalan Jun advised earnestly.
Nalan Meng hurriedly said: "Yes, my daughter will also work hard."
As she spoke, her face turned red like the sunset on the horizon.
"Your Majesty, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?" At this time, Mo Yu walked in and asked.
"Okay, father-in-law, Meng'er, let's go have a meal first." King Xian said.
After saying that, he and Nalan Meng stood up at the same time.
As a result, when the two stood up, King Xian accidentally touched Nalan Meng's right hand. He quickly retracted his hand, took a step back, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."
"It doesn't matter." Nalan Meng said and took a step back reflexively.
Seeing this scene, Nalan Jun's eyes flashed with surprise.
what happened?
Why are Meng'er and Xian Wang so alienated?
This is nothing like a normal couple.
He had previously felt that the relationship between the two of them was strange. They looked respectful to each other, but in fact there was a hint of unfamiliarity.
Now that he saw this scene again, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with it.
No, he has to observe carefully when eating later.
-
While eating, Nalan Jun quietly observed King Xian and Nalan Meng while eating.
He wouldn't know unless he observed it. Once he observed it, he discovered that the Xian Wang and Nalan Meng were very alienated from each other.
On the surface, they served each other food and tried to act like a loving couple, but he could tell at a glance that they were very polite to each other, like ordinary friends.
A truly loving couple will not be afraid of physical contact.
But there was no physical contact between them from beginning to end. Sometimes if they accidentally touched their hands, the two of them would quickly separate, as if they were afraid of any contact.
How can there be such a couple in the world?
Unless they are not a real couple.
Seeing this, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
After eating, the wise king looked at Nalan Jun and asked as usual: "My father-in-law, it's getting late. You don't want to go back to the inn tonight. Just rest in the palace!"
Normally, Nalan Jun would refuse.
But today, he agreed: "Okay. Anyway, I want to set up business in Chu State and stay for a long time, so I will live in the palace for a while!"
Since his daughter married the wise king, Nalan Jun moved some of the Nalan family's business to the Chu Kingdom. This is why he has never returned to the country.
Now that he discovered that there was a problem with his daughter and son-in-law's marriage, he decided to stay and observe to see what the problem was.
When King Xian and Nalan Meng heard this, they looked at each other in panic.
It's not that they don't welcome Nalan Jun, but they are afraid that Nalan Jun will see the flaw in their fake marriage.
After the two got married, they slept separately except when Concubine Jing came to the palace.
Now that Nalanjun wants to stay, won't they have to stay in the same room again and perform?
But it was not like he had never acted before, so the Xian Wang said: "Okay, Mo Yu, go down quickly and prepare the room for the Marquis."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Mo Yu finished speaking, he retreated.
Nalan Meng also laughed dryly and said: "Father, we used to let you live in the palace, but you refused. Now that you can agree, we are really happy. Come, my daughter will accompany you to visit the palace first."
Nalan Jun glanced at her and the King Xian meaningfully, nodded and said, "Okay, you are really my good daughter."
He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to stay and take a closer look at what happened between his daughter and son-in-law.
-
In this way, Nalan Jun took Uncle Fu to live in Prince Xian's Mansion.
The attic where he lived was very close to the main building where King Xian lived, so he generally knew what happened in the main building.
With Nalan Jun's eyes, Xian Wang and Nalan Meng no longer dared to sleep separately, so they stayed in Xian Wang's wing that night.
Then, Nalanmeng asked Zhishu to bring the quilt in, and she was going to lay the floor.
After Zhishu laid the floor, Nalan Meng clapped his hands relaxedly and said, "Okay, the floor is ready, then I will sleep here tonight."
Seeing this, the wise king hurriedly said: "No, I will sleep on the floor tonight, you can sleep on the bed!"
Seeing King Xian's bed, Nalan Meng's face blushed slightly, "No, you can sleep on your own bed, I can just make a bed on the floor. Anyway, it is summer now and the weather is nice. It will be cooler if I sleep on the floor."
"You are a woman, how can I let you sleep on the floor? You sleep on my bed!" the wise king insisted.
Nalan dreamed that the wise king had been seriously ill before, and was afraid that sleeping on the floor would affect his health, so he said: "Your Majesty, you really don't have to be too polite. Although I am a woman, I am not that delicate, but your body is recovering.
period, it needs to be taken good care of.”
"Don't worry, my body has recovered a long time ago, and I am not as fragile as you think. I can kill a tiger now without any problem." The Xian King said, rubbing his wrist, as if to prove his man's strength.
Magnificent.
Nalan Meng chuckled, "I know, but Princess Li also said that your disease will need to be observed for another five years. During this period, you must take good care of your body and nothing will happen to you."
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to sleep first!"
With that said, she lay down on the floor and pulled the quilt to cover herself without waiting for the wise king's reaction.
Seeing Nalan Meng like this, the wise king had no choice but to sleep on his own bed.
-
"Ahem..." Early the next morning, when the wise king was still sleeping, he heard a weak cough.
He quickly opened his eyes, got up quickly, and found that the coughing person was Nalan Meng.
At this time, Nalan Meng was lying on the floor, coughing hard.
