Xiao Wangye's Beloved Wife

Chapter 62. Forgetting Old Wounds

Wu Zeyuan walked amidst the snowfields with his personal servant towards the Xiao Jihuang Palace residence. The man must be busy working, Wu Zeyuan dared to bet there would be no concubines visiting Xiao Jihuang at this time, as they were all busy preparing for the celebration of the Year-End Snow tomorrow. It just so happened that Wu Zeyuan had already prepared everything from far away, so that today he could visit Xiao Jihuang without anyone bothering him.

"Morang." Eunuch Yi bowed towards Wu Zeyuan, smiling kindly.

"Has the Emperor had lunch?" ask Wu Zeyuan.

Eunuch Yi shook his head, sighing languidly. "Yet, Niangniang. His Majesty is still struggling with his work, the food that has been delivered is only placed on the dining table without being touched."

Wu Zeyuan nodded in understanding, then said, "What if I go inside and invite your highness to lunch together? I happened to bring you some sweet treats."

Eunuch Yi nodded quickly. "Sure, Niangniang. That's a good idea. With your persuasion, your majesty will surely cease to work soon." Eunuch Yi then opened the door for Wu Zeyuan, letting the woman in.

Wu Zeyuan entered, while his personal servant waited outside with Eunuch Yi.

"Zeyuan saluted his majesty." Wu Zeyuan bowed, his lips smiling.

Xiao Jihuang immediately raised her gaze, her lips smiling as she knew that it was Wu Zeyuan.

"Stand, Zeyuan. What was? Do you want anything?" xiao Jihuang asked, the man immediately put down his brush and closed his work file.

Wu Zeyuan stood up straight again, then sighed languidly like Eunuch Yi before. "No, your honor. Zeyuan's arrival here just wanted to give a sweet snack made by Zeyuan himself, then just now I also heard a report from Eunuch Yi that you are busy working and skipping lunch."

Xiao Jihuang nodded. "That's right, because this whole work has to be done before tomorrow's big celebration. After all, since when did Eunuch Yi become such a nag?"

Wu Zeyuan chuckled. "Your Majesty, Eunuch Yi is only worried about you."

Xiao Jihuang nodded briefly, then stood up and walked towards the dining table. The man's hand swung, gesturing for Wu Zeyuan to approach. "Come, Zeyuan."

Wu Zeyuan obediently, the woman immediately walked over and sat down beside the man. On the dining table there are already various kinds of processed meat and vegetables.

Wu Zeyuan placed his homemade sweet snack box on the table, then poured some water into Xiao Jihuang's cup.

"Your highness, do you allow Zeyuan to feed you personally?" wu Zeyuan asked, smiling enthusiastically.

Xiao Jihuang gave a short nod, then Wu Zeyuan quickly picked up the chopsticks and began to feed Xiao Jihuang.

"Feel it's not too warm ...." Wu Zeyuan frowned, yet Xiao Jihuang simply nodded, signaling that he was not too much of a problem.

A while later, Xiao Jihuang picked up the chopsticks Wu Zeyuan was holding and started eating the food with her own hands. Wu Zeyuan again poured water into Xiao Jihuang's cup which started to empty, then his eyes accidentally caught the small painting. The painting looks very long, visible from the quality of his canvas.

"It seems that you and Xiao Wangfei have a very close relationship," Wu Zeyuan said, he knew that the painting was a painting that Xiao Jihuang and Huang Mingxiang had made together.

Ten years ago, the late Emperor had previously invited the noble children to the Palace. One of the entertainment provided by the Palace was painting, then one canvas was for two people. Xiao Jihuang and Huang Mingxiang became a couple, then they both painted their palms together. In the corner of the tiny palm were their respective names, 'Mingxiang' and 'Jihuang'.

Xiao Jihuang's eating activity came to a halt, she immediately turned her head towards the small painting. Xiao Jihuang's lips then tried to smile thinly. "Right, Zhen and Xiao Wangfei were good little friends."

Wu Zeyuan nodded. "Zeyuan understood, because from childhood Zeyuan often paid attention to the noble."

"really?" Xiao Jihuang's left eyebrow slightly raised.

Wu Zeyuan nodded. "Of course, Zeyuan had admired his highness since childhood."

Xiao Jihuang was momentarily comforted, the sad atmosphere that had appeared since Huang Mingxiang's name was said to be slowly disappearing. Xiao Jihuang's hand slowly stroked Wu Zeyuan's head, then said, "If you want, Zhen will ask the waiter to prepare a new canvas to paint together."

Xiao Jihuang nodded lightly, then glanced towards the door and called Eunuch Yi. The man directly asked Eunuch Yi to prepare one new canvas today as well, making Wu Zeyuan very happy.

"Your majesty, what shall we paint?" wu Zeyuan asked, both of his hands hugging Xiao Jihuang from the side.

Xiao Jihuang placed her chopsticks on the table, finished eating. After gulping down his white water, the man returned Wu Zeyuan's embrace using his one hand. "What about the two white doves?"

Wu Zeyuan deepened his smile, nodding. "That's a great idea!"

"Your Majesty ...." Before long Wu Zeyuan returned to speaking, his tone slightly clear.

Xiao Jihuang nodded. "Yes? Is there anything else you want?"

Wu Zeyuan sighed, then buried his face in the chest of Xiao Jihuang's field. "Camping for the End of the Year Snow Celebration tomorrow isn't it only allowed for two people? Huanghou and the concubine of the event manager? But ... Zeyuan wants to be near you."

Xiao Jihuang was silent for a moment, this. But he could not refuse Wu Zeyuan's request, lately his heart was often soft with that woman.

"Alright, since the Emperor's table is too big for one person, what if you're one table with Zhen?" xiao Jihuang asked, her lips smiling faintly. This was the first time Xiao Jihuang had relaxed the rules for a Concubine, before even Rong Xuan's class had never allowed it.

Wu Zeyuan smiled again, nodding. "Yes! Zeyuan was happy to share the table with his majesty!"

Both of their eyes met, Wu Zeyuan's hands turned coiled around Xiao Jihuang's neck. Xiao Jihuang glanced at Wu Zeyuan's hand which suddenly became aggressive, then looked back at the woman.

Xiao Jihuang's right hand slowly moved pressing on Wu Zeyuan's back to get closer to him. The faces of the two drew closer, but suddenly Xiao Jihuang stopped her movements, then distanced their distance slightly.

Wu Zeyuan was slightly surprised, his eyes catching the doubtful expression of Xiao Jihuang. It seemed like the man was thinking back to Huang Mingxiang. Wu Zeyuan was not angry, the woman actually smiled and cupped Xiao Jihuang's cheeks to look back at him.

"Zeyuan knows your secret, so ... noble ones need not exert themselves," Wu Zeyuan said, leaving Xiao Jihuang a little surprised. He had not expected Wu Zeyuan to know his feelings for Huang Mingxiang.

"You don't mind?" xiao Jihuang asked, asking doubtfully.

Wu Zeyuan shook his head, then pulled Xiao Jihuang's right palm and stuck it on his cheek. Wu Zeyuan closed his eyes, enjoying the sensation of Xiao Jihuang's palm. "No. Zeyuan would not force the noble to immediately forget that feeling or make the noble only love Zeyuan. Zeyuan knew that Zeyuan was a new person in a noble life. Zeyuan had no right to forcibly expel the feelings and memories of the old man in his noble mind, because without it all would not change the fact that Zeyuan loved the noble sincerely." At the end of the sentence, Wu Zeyuan reopened his eyes.

Xiao Jihuang was stunned, then smiled faintly. This was the first time he felt calm if any Harem woman knew of his feelings for Huang Mingxiang. Previously Rong Xuan went berserk and instead acted unreasonably, then Lu Fenghua. The woman actually knew, but during the meeting of the three of them yesterday, the woman deliberately covered up her knowledge. The woman had cried out in jealousy, making Xiao Jihuang feel troubled. But this time, Wu Zeyuan. The woman is not rude at all, it even gives understanding. This was what made the warm feeling slowly creep up on Xiao Jihuang's body.

"What if Zhen finds it hard to forget about her and continue with you while remembering the woman?" asked Xiao Jihuang again.

Wu Zeyuan shook his head. "No. Zeyuan was sure, his highness would forget about it. Zeyuan believed, with the effort and form of love Zeyuan continuously gave, that his majesty would accept Zeyuan wholeheartedly and slowly forget the old wounds." Wu Zeyuan's lips smiled again.

Xiao Jihuang smiled, then stood up and extended her hand to Wu Zeyuan. "Want to rest a little?"

Wu Zeyuan nodded, replying to Xiao Jihuang's helping hand. The woman immediately widened her eyes in surprise after replying to Xiao Jihuang's helping hand, the reason the man suddenly pulled her body and carried her.

Wu Zeyuan laughed, while Xiao Jihuang smiled seeing the woman laughing happily. Xiao Jihuang placed Wu Zeyuan on the bed, then went to lie down next to the woman.

Wu Zeyuan hugged Xiao Jihuang, stroking the man's head. God, she loves her husband so much. Wu Zeyuan would not demand anything other than Xiao Jihuang's happiness, however.he hoped that Xiao Jihuang could soon forget about Huang Mingxiang and love him. Wu Zeyuan would keep trying and praying, he would not use any cunning means, because he wanted Xiao Jihuang to love him purely, not because of any cunning plan.

Xiao Jihuang closed her eyes, her body feeling tired because since morning she had to sit at the desk and work on all the reports from all over the Empire. The man hugged Wu Zeyuan's petite body, immersing his face in Wu Zeyuan's chest.

That day, was Xiao Jihuang's first most comfortable day with the woman from her Harem, having previously always felt mismatched and uncomfortable, today it felt like she could breathe with relief.
