Chapter 982 [Fragrant Honey: Zhou Shengru Gu 8]

Soon the day of her wedding arrived. The sun shone through the window into the room. Youyou sat quietly in front of the dressing table. She gently stroked the gorgeous wedding dress sent by Nan Xiao. The delicate touch seemed to convey warmth and expectations from afar.

Meng Lan on the side looked at Youyou in the mirror intently, her eyes full of amazement, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Princess, you are so beautiful today!" However, Youyou seemed absent-minded. Her eyes were not on her beautiful face, but lost in thought.

After a moment's silence, Youyou slowly said, "Menglan, if you feel uneasy or unwilling to go to Nanxiao, I can arrange a new path for you so that you don't have to suffer with me." Her voice was soft and firm, revealing her concern for Menglan.

Upon hearing this, Meng Lan quickly shook her head and said, "Princess, please don't say that. Ever since you rescued me from suffering, my life belongs to you. No matter where you are, I will follow you until death and will never have any second thoughts. Please don't abandon me." Her eyes were full of sincerity and determination.

Hearing Meng Lan's words, Youyou's heart couldn't help but warm up. She smiled and nodded and said, "In that case, I'll feel more at ease having you accompany me on this trip to Nanxiao."

At this time, Meng Lan carefully picked up the bright red veil and gently covered Youyou's head, then said softly: "Princess, the time has come, we should set off. Nan Xiao's wedding caravan has been waiting outside the door for a long time, and I heard that even the second prince will come in person to welcome the bride this time."

Meng Lan helped Youyou up and walked slowly towards the door. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Zhou Shengchen standing upright outside, exuding a calm and majestic aura. Seeing Youyou coming out, Zhou Shengchen smiled slightly and said, "Changle, you are about to marry far away in Nanxiao, but you are marrying from the Nanchen Palace. You and I grew up together since childhood and are as close as siblings. Today, let me, your elder brother, carry you out of this door on my back." As he spoke, he bent down slightly and motioned Youyou to lie on his back.

Youyou looked at the person in front of her. Although the red veil blocked everything, she knew that if she didn't agree to Zhou Shengchen, she would never go out today.

"Okay." Youyou replied softly, her soft voice as charming as a flower blooming in spring. After that, she leaned forward slightly and gently lay on Zhou Shengchen's broad and solid back.

Zhou Shengchen felt Youyou approaching, and his heart was filled with ripples. He carefully stretched his hands behind him and held Youyou's light body steadily. In this way, the two of them pressed closely together, as if they had become one.

The distance from the room to the door was not long, but it seemed extremely long to Zhou Shengchen at this moment. Every step he took was as gentle as if he was stepping on cotton, for fear of disturbing the person in his arms. His eyes were always fixed on the front, revealing an indescribable attachment and reluctance.

How he wished that this short road could stretch forever, without an end. In this way, he could carry the rice for a little longer, and let the warmth and intimacy last a little longer. However, reality is always cruel, and no matter how he slowed down, this road still came to an end.

When they appeared at the door, Xiao Yan, who was waiting outside, saw the scene in front of him and couldn't help but widen his eyes with surprise. Obviously, he had never expected to see such a scene. After a brief moment of shock, Xiao Yan quickly came to his senses, walked up quickly, and took Youyou from Zhou Shengchen.

Zhou Shengchen slowly loosened his hand and watched Xiao Yan carefully put Youyou into the sedan. Although he was reluctant, he knew that this moment would come. When he looked into Xiao Yan's eyes, Zhou Shengchen's face became serious, and he said solemnly: "Since you have married her, you must treat her well in the future. If you dare to treat her badly, even if I have to sacrifice everything, I will make you pay a heavy price!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned at first, and then he understood the deep meaning. He looked at Zhou Shengchen deeply, and then he noticed that there was something wrong with the look in Zhou Shengchen's eyes when he looked at Youyou. It was a look full of affection and love, as bright and dazzling as the stars twinkling in the night sky. In an instant, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that Zhou Shengchen had such a deep feeling for Youyou.

Xiao Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a confident smile: "I will naturally treat the princess well. After all, the princess will become my prince consort. I wonder from what position your Highness Prince Nanchen says this?" He stared straight at Zhou Shengchen, as if he wanted to see through the other's mind.

Zhou Shengchen clenched his fists tightly, trying to keep his voice calm, but he could not hide the slight tremor in it: "Of course, as an elder brother." After saying this, he couldn't help but secretly curse himself in his heart for being so stubborn.

A sly look flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he smiled and bowed deliberately, saying, "It turns out to be my brother! I would like to greet you first, and hope that you can sincerely bless me and the princess, and wish that we can live in harmony and love forever."

Hearing this, Zhou Shengchen felt as if his heart was shot by a sharp arrow, the pain was unbearable. However, he endured the pain in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Of course it will happen. I sincerely wish that the second prince and the princess will love each other, grow old together, and be together forever." Every word seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction and responded with a smile: "Thank you very much for your kindness, brother. I hope that you can find a good match soon and share the happiness of family life together." After that, he turned around and rode away, leaving Zhou Shengchen standing there alone, looking at the back of the carriage, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Xie Chong saw through Zhou Shengchen's thoughts at a glance. He sighed softly and said slowly, "My Lord, the person is gradually walking away. Why do you have to stare at him so persistently?"

Zhou Shengchen slowly withdrew his gaze, but the attachment in his eyes lingered for a long time. He murmured in a low voice: "Military Advisor, do you think her life will be smooth and happy in the future? Compared to me, perhaps the Second Prince can give her more happiness. After all, this marriage was requested by the Second Prince himself." His words could not hide his loss and melancholy.

Xie Chong frowned slightly and patted Zhou Shengchen's broad shoulders. For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort this affectionate prince.

As night fell, Youyou and Xiao Yan cleaned up the house together. Youyou turned around and told Menglan to get a quilt and give it to Xiao Yan. She said solemnly: "Remember our previous agreement. We have to sleep in separate beds. Either you sleep on the outer bed, or you sleep on the floor. Anyway, this bed belongs to me alone."

Xiao Yan looked at Youyou's serious expression, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and replied readily: "Okay."

Soon, Xiao Yan spread out the blanket on the ground with swift movements, and then lay down on it with a nimble posture. At the same time, Youyou also lay on the bed steadily.

However, after a while, Xiao Yan, who should have fallen asleep, tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Finally, he couldn't help but whispered, "Changle, I discovered something today. King Nanchen has his eyes on you. If I'm not mistaken, you like him too. If that's the case, why did you finally agree to marry me?"

After hearing this, Youyou turned her head slightly to look at Xiao Yan and replied calmly: "Why so many whys? This is just a matter of mutual consent. If you help me achieve my goal, I will naturally help you with all my strength." After saying that, Youyou turned her head away again and ignored Xiao Yan.

"You clearly know that's not what I meant!" Xiao Yan said helplessly, "I can see that King Nanchen has you in his eyes. The tenderness and concern in his eyes can be seen clearly by others. Are you the only one who doesn't notice it?"

Youyou took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then said, "You know? I even asked him in person if he was willing to marry me." She paused, as if she was back to that heartbreaking moment, with a trace of pain and loss in her eyes.

"So...what did he say?" Xiao Yan stared at You You and asked softly.

Youyou pursed her lips and remained silent. After a while, she slowly said, "He didn't speak." After saying this, she seemed to have used up all her strength and lowered her head weakly.

Seeing Youyou like this, Xiao Yan understood what was going on and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that I guessed right."

A breeze blew by, blowing up the corners of their clothes. Xiao Yan broke the silence and asked again: "Is it because the royal family was unwilling, or for some other reason, that you two were unable to be together in the end?"

Youyou raised her head, gave Xiao Yan a fierce look, and said unhappily, "Has anyone ever told you, Xiao Yan, that you are really long-winded?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "Haha, you are the first person to say this to me." The laughter echoed in the air, but it could not hide the faint sadness between the two of them.

"If you are willing, after I have taken revenge, we can divorce and I will set you free, and you can resume your relationship with King Nanchen." Xiao Yan said after a while.

"Let's talk about it later. No one can tell what will happen then." Youyou said softly.

"My words always count." Xiao Yan said seriously.
