Mu Mingtang was so angry for a moment, she forgot to control her volume, and asked angrily, “Are you done with this nonsense?”
At this time, there was a soft knock on the door: “Prince, Princess, do you have any orders?”
Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen shut their mouths at the same time. Mu Mingtang’s gaze flickered and she kept signalling to Xie Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen could only say reluctantly, “It’s nothing, you may excuse yourself.”
“Yes.”
The maid outside the door was gone, Xie Xuanchen lowered his voice and said: “How embarrassing, keep your voice down.”
“Isn’t it you to blame?” Mu Mingtang also lowered her voice, like a thief, and whispered, “I have to get up early tomorrow. I’ll sleep on the outer side. It’ll be convenient for me to get out of bed and I’ll not wake you up either. I’ll be convenient for both of us, can you cooperate?”
“No.”
Mu Mingtang gritted her teeth with anger, so don’t judge a book by its cover. When she first saw Xie Xuanchen, she only felt that he was like a god blessed to the world, to save the world from all suffering. Unexpectedly, this person was in fact stubborn and completely unreasonable.
Mu Mingtang finally gave up reasoning with Xie Xuanchen, and crawled inside with her blanket. When Xie Xuanchen got what he wanted, his expression looked like he deserved it.
Since young, he got to do whatever he wanted, his father couldn’t control him, how could she expect Xie Xuanchen to be understanding and considerate. Mu Mingtang moved inside, laid the bedding and pillows, and then realized another problem.
How would she undress.
The two looked at each other, apparently Xie Xuanchen also thought of the same question. He turned away and pointed outside: “There is a screen over there, you can change inside. Dim the lamp when you walk back.”
Mu Mingtang could only climb out again. Thankfully, Xie Xuanchen was already wearing a loose-fitting top. The night during the early autumn wasn’t very cold yet, so Xie Xuanchen didn’t change before going out. At this moment, Mu Mingtang didn’t have to worry about how to help Xie Xuanchen change. After she climbed out, she opened the screen to its maximum, but she still felt that he could see her from the outside.
Mu Mingtang poked her head out and said, “Don’t look at me.”
Xie Xuanchen had already looked away. When she said this, Xie Xuanchen felt that his character was suddenly questioned, this made him not want to cooperate.
But Xie Xuanchen held back the urge to do so. He stared towards the bed and let out an inaudible “um”.
Xie Xuanchen suddenly felt grateful that Mu Mingtang couldn’t see him either. His face was piping hot now, and his ears were too abnormally hot. He had never been in the sun all year round, his skin was surprisingly pale, so a slight blush would be very obvious.
Xie Xuanchen didn’t have a younger sister at home. He always jumped over the wall and went to the army base to play. He already led an army when he was fifteen. He had plenty of experience hanging out around men, but rarely with women.
Later, he fought in the North and South, fought for Guo Rong for territory, and also fought for his father. He spent most of the years in war. Because he often mixed around with soldiers, Xie Xuanchen wasn’t the best in relationships. When he was still a teenager, it was because he didn’t know much about this, but after he knew, he didn’t have any desire for it anymore.
He was nineteen years old this year. It wasn’t an age where he needed to be successful in life, but for a man, he wasn’t young either. At least many of his peers have already become fathers.
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, Xie Xuanchen was already in charge of most of the court’s army, and had achieved countless military exploits at the time when the capital’s noble men began to get married. His heart was focused on getting more territory, and contributing to the country, and even……to one day be in charge of the army. Marriage, building a family, and women, were all not necessities for him, but a waste of his time.
