After driving Zhou Mu away, Gu Xiyan rolled comfortably from one side of the bed to the other. Now she didn't have to worry about Zhou Mu dragging her into a married life when he got interested, which was really refreshing.
She rolled around on the bed a few times, and after spending a lot of energy before, she soon fell into a drowsy sleep.
When Zhou Mu left Qishiyuan, he didn't know where to go.
He had never thought of living anywhere other than Qi Shiyuan, so he felt particularly desolate when he left Qi Shiyuan.
There was really nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to go to Zuimo Pavilion, where he usually handled official business. Except that the other garden was cold and not popular at all.
He has never had a maid to serve him, so Zhiyuan and Youyuan usually accompany him. Ever since he got married, Zhiyuan and Youyuan also went to bed early at night, so that when he came to Zuimo Pavilion, they were waiting in Zuimo Pavilion.
The sharp-faced maid on duty immediately came forward and said, "I would like to say hello to Your Highness. Your Highness wants to stay at Zuimo Pavilion?"
Zhou Mu was not used to having maids around, and he didn't like to deal with strangers. He just said coldly: "Back off, I don't need anyone to serve me here."
The sharp-faced maid was a little disappointed when she heard this.
It was a rare visit to Zuimo Pavilion for His Highness, but she didn't even have the chance to serve him up close.
Who among the people serving in the house doesn’t know that Long Zhang Fengzi, the banished eldest son of Emperor Cheng De, is even more beautiful than the legendary banished immortal?
When many maids mentioned His Highness, they were all very excited. Everyone wanted to get involved with such a big shot. In addition, His Highness's backyard was clean and there was only one princess, which made everyone even more eager to move.
Although the Crown Princess and His Highness have a deep relationship now, it is only because of the wedding period.
With His Royal Highness’s noble status, it is impossible for him to have only one woman, the Crown Princess. If His Highness becomes the Crown Prince and ascends the throne in the future, he will have to enrich the harem.
Now that His Highness's backyard is empty and everyone is on the same level, there is always a chance to rise to the top if we give it a try.
But when His Highness showed up, she didn't even get a chance to get close.
The sharp-faced maid is still unwilling to give in, and plans to wait and see, maybe she will have a chance to sleep with her.
Zhou Mu didn't have the habit of recognizing the bed before, but he didn't feel sleepy at all when he was lying on the bed. When he reached out to hug someone, but failed, he felt even more desolate.
After struggling for a long time, he still couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up.
In the past, even before getting married, he would sleep alone. No matter where he was, he could fall asleep in any environment.
After getting married, he became squeamish and found it difficult to sleep without Xi Yan by his side.
After struggling for about half an hour, he decided to go back to Qishiyuan. At worst, he would sneak back into Xiyan's bed when she went to sleep. Anyway, he got up early the next day, and there was no way she would know that he quietly returned to Qishiyuan.
Garden.
After thinking about it, he felt comfortable all over and walked out of the dormitory briskly.
The sharp-faced maid was standing outside the bedroom, waiting for the opportunity to climb into bed. Seeing Zhou Mu come out, she immediately stepped forward: "Your Highness..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she saw the man walking away in long strides without even giving her a wink.
After Zhou Mu left Zuimo Pavilion in a hurry, he was worried that Xi Yan was still awake. He simply wandered outside for about two-quarters of an hour before going to Qi Shiyuan.
Qishiyuan was quite lively, Chunhua and Qiushi didn't sleep, Hu Die was about to go back to the house, and Bai Yu and Mo Yu took turns at night. Everyone saw Zhou Mu leaving and returning, and after being stunned, they stepped forward to salute.
"No need to be polite." Zhou Mu coughed twice and asked Qiu Shi, "Is Xiyan asleep?"
"The princess has gone to bed. Does Your Highness want to see the princess for anything?" Qiushi was confused.
When Zhou Mu heard that his young wife was asleep, he felt relieved: "There is no need to mention it to Xi Yan that I will return to Qi Shiyuan tonight."
Under the attention of everyone, he entered the main bedroom.
As soon as he left, Hu Die joked in a low voice: "It seems that His Highness was driven away by Xi Yan, and he couldn't bear to leave Xi Yan. He couldn't sleep alone, so he sneaked back while Xi Yan was asleep."
Everyone looked at Hu Die and felt that Hu Die was so courageous as he dared to arrange His Highness’s affairs behind his back.
Even if this is the truth, Hu Die cannot say it. How embarrassing would it be for His Highness?
Hu Die thought she was very quiet, but Zhou Mu had good hearing and happened to hear Hu Die's words.
There was a little smile in his eyes, but he also felt that he had no future.
See how peacefully the woman on the bed sleeps without him? But he, without her, is like a fish out of water.
He moved closer to Gu Xiyan and stared at her rosy face. Even though he was just looking at her like this, his heart was racing, as if he was ill.
He never thought before that he could like someone like this, and he felt very satisfied just looking at her.
After looking at her for a long time, he gently pressed a kiss to the corner of her lips. He felt her breath on his lips, and suddenly he felt a little distracted.
Of course, he didn't know before that he was actually a lustful person. No wonder she always disliked him. Sometimes he also felt that he was a little sick and not normal.
Gu Xiyan slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. She didn't know that Mr. Zhou, who she had driven away, quietly came back to her bed after she fell asleep and hugged her to sleep the whole night. While she was still sleeping peacefully,
Mr. Zhou quietly left Qishiyuan again.
She only felt that after she woke up, everyone serving in Qi Shiyuan looked at her with ambiguous eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Xiyan called Qiushi to ask questions.
Qiushi remembered that His Highness had told them before leaving, asking them not to mention to their master that he stayed at Qi Shiyuan last night.
"Everyone thinks that the master is too happy. He doesn't need to serve his parents-in-law and can sleep until midnight before getting up." Qiushi replied evasively.
Gu Xiyan stretched her body and easily accepted Qiushi's statement: "So everyone is envious of me, right? There are indeed very few situations like mine. It's normal for everyone to envy me."
Seeing that his girl was in a good mood, Qiushi made a suggestion: "It's not easy for Your Highness. Why don't you, Master, not drive Your Highness away tonight?"
Gu Xiyan thought of what happened last night. She was just giving Zhou Mu a small lesson. Who asked him to tease her? She also let him taste the feeling of being teased.
She followed the trend and said, "Listen to your suggestion."
Qiushi nodded repeatedly, knowing that her master was sensible.
Zhou Mu returned home that afternoon. He was a little worried that he would be driven away by Gu Xiyan, but when she turned out to be fine, he felt relieved.
After lunch, Gu Xiyan mentioned to Zhou Mu about hosting a flower viewing party.
This was the first time she had hosted such a flower-viewing banquet after marrying into the Zhou family. If it was done well, it would establish contact with the backyards of various aristocratic families. If it was not done well, it might hinder Zhou Mu, so she wanted to ask Zhou Mu.
The meaning of twilight.
After Zhou Mu heard about it, he said: "Whatever you want to do, feel free to do it. It doesn't matter if you don't do it well. I will always be behind you. You can live your life as you like."
