The wise king said: "No need! To me, the ground is not cold. I think it's just right! But you have a delicate constitution. If you come to sleep, you must add a quilt!"
"Well, as long as you don't feel cold, that's fine. If you feel uncomfortable, we can change it back."
"You have already been sick once, how can I let you sleep on the floor bed again?" The wise king said, took off his outer clothes, walked to the floor bed, and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest!"
Nalan Meng was about to nod when suddenly she saw a tall shadow reflected outside the window.
And there was a small hole in the window paper, and the shadow was peeking at them.
Judging from the man's hairstyle and body shape, she found that he looked like Uncle Fu.
Why would Uncle Fu peek at them outside?
Could it be what the father meant?
Oops, does father doubt them?
That would be terrible!
Thinking of this, she suddenly called out to Prince Xian, "Your Majesty, wait a moment."
"What's wrong, Meng'er?" King Xian asked doubtfully.
"I have something to tell you." Nalan Meng said, suddenly walking towards the wise king and hugging his neck.
Then, she didn't know where the courage came from, stood up on tiptoes, and suddenly kissed the wise king's lips.
At this moment, the wise king stood there dumbfounded, his face full of trembling and shock.
Nalanmeng had already wrapped her arms around his neck, closed her eyes, and began to rub his lips.
"You..." King Xian said angrily, trying to push Nalan Meng away.
But Nalan Meng hugged him tightly and swallowed his words.
When Uncle Fu outside the window saw this scene, he quickly covered his eyes in shame and walked away quickly!
Seeing Uncle Fu walking away, Nalanmeng let go of the wise king.
Then, she was panting heavily, her face turning red like the sunset on the horizon.
The wise king wiped his mouth with a look of shame and anger, "What are you doing?"
Nalanmeng looked at him apologetically, "I didn't mean to do it. Uncle Fu was outside watching just now, and I was afraid that he would find out that we were a fake marriage. I just acted out of desperation... I'm sorry."
The Xian Wang was shocked, "Uncle Fu is outside? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
With that said, he quickly walked to the window and found that there was a small hole in the window.
Through the small hole, he saw Fu Bo's back leaving far away.
He immediately frowned and realized that Uncle Fu was outside.
Nalan Meng said: "Did you see it? I didn't have time to tell you at the time, so... so..."
"It's okay." King Xian interrupted her coldly, and then said, "Uncle Fu probably won't come. You can sleep here tonight, and I'll go to the study to sleep."
With that said, he picked up the book on the table and walked out.
Nalan Meng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Did I offend you just now? I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."
The wise king turned back calmly, "No, I just want to be alone for a while. You can go to sleep first!"
With that said, he picked up the book and went out.
Seeing his cold back, Nalan Meng was a little annoyed.
She reached out and hit herself on the head. Why was she so impulsive just now? She actually made such an action!
King Xian must hate her very much now. Thinking of King Xian's cold eyes, she felt extremely regretful.
Why!
Nalanmeng sighed depressedly and lay down on the bed.

After the wise king walked out of the wing, he did not go directly to the study next door.
He stood under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and looked at the stars and moon in the sky with a look of sadness on his face.
I don’t know if anyone is standing in the yard looking at the stars like him at this time.
After looking at it for a while, he came to the study.
After entering the study, he did not go to sleep immediately. Instead, he sat in front of the window, supported his chin on one hand, and looked at the starry sky in the distance quietly.
There are few stars tonight, which makes the moon particularly bright. The moon hangs in the sky like a silver hook, shining like jade.
Suddenly, he seemed to see the moon blinking at him, and its playful and cute look made him curl his lips slightly.

After seeing the scene just now, Uncle Fu quickly returned to the attic and reported to Nalan Jun what he had just seen.
After Nalan Jun heard this, he looked confused, "How is this possible? They are obviously very alienated from each other. They have to separate quickly even if they touch hands. They sleep separately at night. So why are they... so affectionate?"
Uncle Fu said: "Mr. Marquis, maybe you have misunderstood my uncle and my lady! I think they have a very good relationship. They respect each other as if they were guests, and their love for each other is not false at all. As for the floor shop, it doesn't mean anything.
What if they are used to sleeping separately?”
Nalan Jun narrowed his eyes in confusion, "Since you are used to sleeping separately, why don't you tell us directly? If we have to wait until we come to the palace to sleep in the same room, what is this if we don't have three hundred taels of silver here?"
"But I really saw that they were very affectionate..." Fu Bo said.
Nalan Jun captured his beard and said: "If this is the case, then I am also confused! Let's continue to observe and see what is going on between them!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Uncle Fu said.

royal palace
Ever since Emperor Hongyuan took Yun Ruoyue's painkillers when he had a headache last time, he has not taken longevity pills recently.
Every time he had a headache, Xue Tianxiang would give him painkillers, which would soon suppress his pain.
With the help of this painkiller, Emperor Hongyuan's headaches were relieved a lot, and the attacks became less and less frequent.
But even so, he was still thinking about the longevity pill that could make him feel elated.
But he had already said before that he no longer relied on Chen Changqing, so he didn't mention the longevity pill again to avoid slapping himself in the face.
Today is the fifteenth day. According to the rules, Emperor Hongyuan would go to the queen on the first and fifteenth day of every month.
But since the queen was banished to the cold palace, Emperor Hongyuan moved to Xue Tianxiang's Xianglan Palace.
Although Emperor Hongyuan only favored Dong Shishi, Xue Tianxiang was now in charge of the affairs of the harem, so Emperor Hongyuan would still give her some face.
As soon as evening came, Emperor Hongyuan led Eunuch Xu to Xianglan Hall.
After Xue Tianxiang served Emperor Hongyuan's dinner, Jiang Chenghai from the Ministry of Internal Affairs walked in with a group of maids.
"This servant wishes to greet the emperor, and the noble concubine also wishes to greet you." Jiang Chenghai said respectfully after walking in.
Emperor Hongyuan said: "What's wrong with Jiang Chenghai?"
Jiang Chenghai hurriedly pointed to the tray in the hand of a palace maid and said: "Your Majesty, the ruby that you ordered your servant to beat for the imperial concubine's head and face last time has been prepared. I specially sent it to the imperial concubine for your Majesty and the imperial concubine to take a look."
With that said, he took down the red satin on the tray.
Xue Tianxiang glanced over and saw a golden head and face placed on the tray. The head and face were inlaid with many rubies and gold, which looked dazzling and shining.
Seeing this face, Emperor Hongyuan also looked satisfied.
He smiled and said: "How about it, Concubine Xue, do you like it?"
