Chapter 111 Mysterious Purple Light
Chapter 111 Mysterious Purple Light
Zhao Xi sat quietly on the couch, his eyes silently falling on his wife, whom he had not seen for four years, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
At this moment, the whole room was filled with a quiet atmosphere. No one spoke, only time flowed silently.
Chen Lan stared at Zhao Xi with complicated emotions in her eyes. Four years of separation had made this couple, who were not very familiar with each other, even more unfamiliar. For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.
Although they were already the closest couple in the world, and there was an inexplicable trust between them that even blood relatives did not have, they had been married for more than seven years, but they had spent less than a year together.
Zhao Xi felt an urge to break the silence. He opened his mouth and tried to say something, but in the end, he just sighed softly, turned his eyes away from Chen Lan, and looked at other corners of the room.
Chen Lan also sat silently opposite Zhao Xi, quietly looking at the increasingly handsome prince, thinking to herself: "My prince seems to have grown taller, but why doesn't he speak? Does he want me to speak first?"
Zhao Xi felt Chen Lan's "burning" gaze, and her throat moved uncomfortably. She was a little surprised: "It seems that after not seeing her for four years, the little girl has not only grown taller, but also become a lot braver!"
The two of them sat together quietly, as if time had stopped. Although their hearts were already in turmoil and their thoughts were surging like the tide, there was no strange expression on their faces.
The silence between the two was not broken until the voice of a palace maid came from outside the door reminding them that dinner was ready.
"Brother Yuchen, how about we go have dinner first and then take a rest after dinner?" Chen Lan spoke first.
Her tone was relaxed and natural, as if the previous embarrassment had never happened. However, only she knew that she was still a little flustered deep down.
Zhao Xi nodded slightly to show his agreement. He stood up, his posture as straight as a pine tree, with a gentle smile on his handsome face.
"Okay, Sister Chen'er is right. Let's talk about it in detail after dinner." His voice was low and magnetic, which made people feel good about it.
Chen Lan nodded gently, and sighed in her heart: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is always so elegant and noble!"
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Zhao Xi again, "Could it be that he has been to a fake battlefield in recent years? How come he is still so fair-skinned? Can he really lift a sword and achieve great military exploits?"
Zhao Xi had no idea that Chen Lan was secretly criticizing him, and he unconsciously took her hand. The two of them walked towards the dining table together. The palace maids along the way bowed their heads and saluted, not daring to look at him any more.
Adhering to the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, the two finished their meal in silence, washed up again, and then returned to the bedroom.
As soon as Zhao Xi entered the room, he was shocked by the red color he saw. There were no red silks and red candles when he left just now.
His feet continued to move forward uncontrollably. When he saw the dazzling red wedding quilt on the bed, his face turned red for a moment, and he was stunned for a while before returning to normal.
Thinking that this might be his young wife's arrangement, he put on the red undergarment hanging in front of the screen without hesitation, and sat on a chair outside with red ears, waiting for someone.
As a woman, Chen Lan naturally took longer to wash than a man. Finally, after a stick of incense had burned out, he saw Chen Lan walking slowly towards him, supported by a palace maid.
Chen Lan had a face like a peach blossom, eyebrows like distant black, lips without makeup, and long black and shiny hair that fell on her shoulders like a waterfall. She was wearing a lavender dress, and the hem of the dress fluttered in the wind, like a fairy descending to the earth. Zhao Xi couldn't help but stare at her in a daze, and he didn't come back to his senses until Chen Lan walked in front of him.
The moment Chen Lan stepped into the bedroom, she was shocked by the overwhelming red in front of her and her face turned red. She lowered her head shyly, took light steps, and slowly walked to the table without saying a word.
Just as he was about to sit down, Zhao Xi suddenly rushed forward, hugged him tightly and picked him up.
Seeing this, the palace maids and eunuchs who were originally serving nearby tactfully retreated quietly, closing the door and leaving this space to the two of them.
Chen Lan didn't expect that the prince would be so anxious to consummate the marriage on the first day he returned to the palace. She shyly buried her head in his neck and shoulders.
Little did they know that all this was not arranged by them. In a small room in the side hall of the East Palace, the prince's wet nurse was smiling happily, hiding her achievements and fame.
In the middle of the night, in the dim bedroom, a mysterious purple light floated out from the man, hovered in the air for a moment, and then fell straight into the belly of the woman next to him.
And at the moment when the purple light ball fell into the woman's belly, the man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the woman's lower abdomen with a somewhat complicated expression.
He cast a spell to take out the slightly damaged God-killing Sword that his master had given him privately, as well as the Cang He Sword he had obtained in the Three Lives World. Holding the sword, his soul instantly entered a mysterious space and placed the two swords into the Qiankun Cauldron to refine them.
Fortunately, the speed in this mysterious space is different from that outside. Tongtian successfully took out a top-level innate spiritual treasure that was infinitely close to the innate treasure from the Qiankun Ding before Chen Lan woke up.
After sealing it, Tongtian flashed out of the mysterious space. The moment his soul returned to his mortal body, the sword quietly sank into Chenlan's lower abdomen.
The next morning, when Chen Lan opened her eyes tiredly, Zhao Xi had already finished his morning exercise and went to the study to handle official business.
After Chen Lan finished washing up, she carefully combed her waterfall-like hair in front of the dressing table.
She was wearing a purple-blue long dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem, making her look fresh, refined, graceful and charming.
Just as she was about to enjoy the sumptuous breakfast, Nanny Chen carefully brought her a bowl of steaming tonic soup.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, this is the tonic that the Crown Prince ordered me to prepare specially for you this morning." Nanny Chen said respectfully, with a hint of humility and awe in her voice.
Chen Lan smiled slightly. Although she felt a little embarrassed and shy, she still said softly, "Thank you, Aunt Chen."
After breakfast, Chen Lan was just about to take care of palace affairs as usual, and then go to study with her sister.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the study, she saw the prince sitting in the place where she usually handled palace affairs, writing something meticulously.
Chen Lan suppressed her shyness and walked over gently. Before she could see the content clearly, she was embraced by the prince.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Zhao Xi looked at the pale face of the person in front of him, frowned slightly, and asked softly.
After saying that, he couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently stroke Chen Lan's smooth and silky hair, and carefully combed the two strands of hair on her temples behind her ears with his fingers.
Chen Lan was startled by Zhao Xi's sudden intimate behavior. Her body trembled slightly, but she did not avoid his hand.
She raised her head, glanced at Zhao Xi with a somewhat panicked look, then quickly lowered her head again.
Zhao Xi knew why she came to the study, so she said softly, "Don't worry, I can handle these matters..."
Before Zhao Xi finished speaking, Chen Lan felt her cheeks getting hot and her heartbeat quickened involuntarily.
She knew she must be behaving strangely at the moment, but she couldn't control her emotions.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself, but the more she did so, the more nervous and embarrassed she felt.
Zhao Xi didn't seem to notice Chen Lan's abnormality. He looked at her with a smile and said gently, "Be good, go back and rest for a while. I'm here, don't worry."
After listening to Zhao Xi's words, Chen Lan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
When she turned and left, her steps seemed hurried and messy, as if she wanted to escape from this embarrassing place as quickly as possible.
When she finally returned to her bedroom, she let out a long sigh and relaxed completely.
Zhao Xi chuckled when he saw this, and no longer paid attention to the things on the table. He turned around, straightened his clothes, and quickened his pace to catch up.
In the bedroom, Chen Lan, whose face was still flushed, saw Zhao Xi coming in. Suddenly, her cheeks turned as bright as the sunset, and it seemed that they could not be concealed no matter what.
Seeing this, Zhao Xi hurried forward, gently helped Chen Lan sit down, then took out a box that had been prepared long ago from his arms, handed it to her, his eyes revealing a hint of tenderness and expectation, motioning her to open it.
Chen Lan took the box with some surprise, held it carefully in her hands, and gently opened the box. When she saw the warm and crystal clear mutton-fat jade hairpin in the box, the smile on her face was as bright as a blooming spring flower.
This jade hairpin exudes a faint luster, and its delicate texture makes people feel its nobility and elegance. What is even more valuable is that there are small words engraved by Zhao Xi himself on it.
Chen Lan's eyes were attracted by the jade hairpin, and she couldn't look away, with joy shining in her eyes. She gently picked up the jade hairpin and carefully examined every detail of it, from which she could feel Zhao Xi's feelings for her.
