Chapter 263 Wanwan
Chapter 263 Wanwan
Faced with Jun Jiuchen's sudden frankness, Song Wan was a little uncomfortable for a moment.
But what followed was a subtle and dense joy.
In fact, after she met Queen Wei with him last time, she actually had some expectations.
I expected him to confess his life story to him, but unfortunately he didn't...
Although she didn't say it, she actually felt a little lost in her heart.
Because even though she knew that her father's guess was almost right, there was a difference between her father's guess and him telling her in person, which meant that he was not actually ready to open his heart to her.
especially……
They are getting married soon.
And today, he said it... To her, his honesty was the best "bride price" she had received today.
Thinking of this, Song Wan's eyes lit up with stars, and she looked at Jun Jiuchen and responded seriously.
"I am very happy that Your Highness can tell me your name in person."
"Since the prince doesn't want to talk about the past, then let's not talk about it."
"Because the person I like is not the Third Prince, but the person in front of me, no matter if he is called Yun Che, Song Shi, or Jun Jiuchen."
Jun Jiuchen's eyes moved slightly when she looked at him like this. He tightened the box in his hand and then moved his gaze away from her face a little.
"It's just a way to repay your father's sincerity..."
He admitted that he felt a little moved when he saw Zhuyue take out the booklet that Song Yi asked her to pass on.
Although he also understood that Song Yi did this partly for Song Wan.
But if he handed all these over to him, it would be equivalent to putting his life and property, as well as the safety of the prime minister's residence, on his shoulders.
There was no way out for himself.
Song Wan naturally understood what Jun Jiuchen meant by "sincerity", but she also knew that he was being awkward again.
He just pretended to be disappointed and said "I see", then lowered his head with an extremely depressed look. After a while, he waved the box in his hand towards him.
"Then Your Highness, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will go back and study this bracelet first."
Jun Jiuchen looked at Song Wan's eyes, which had been bright just now and had lost their luster in an instant, and his gaze paused slightly.
Thinking about the word "happy" she said when he took the initiative to tell her about his life story just now.
And after Shangguan Yu learned that he had set the wedding date at the end of the year, she kept repeating in his ear the "ways for husband and wife to get along".
After a pause, he finally handed her another box hidden in his sleeve.
"For you."
Song Wan was a little surprised when she saw the box handed to her, but she tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.
"Your Highness... Could this be another piece of evidence?"
Jun Jiuchen just put the box in her hands without saying anything.
"Didn't you say you wanted a token of love?"
"This thing...it's useless for me to keep it..."
Song Wan then automatically ignored the second half of his sentence, took the box and opened it.
Then I saw a peach blossom hairpin lying quietly inside.
The hairpin body is made of the finest mutton-fat jade, as smooth as solidified fat. The head of the hairpin is carved with a half-opened peach blossom, with petals stacked layer upon layer, each as thin as a cicada's wing.
A ruby is embedded in the center of the flower, emitting a soft glow in the sunlight.
However, this hairpin is obviously not brand new, because it seems to have been broken, and the broken end is wrapped with gold wire to make it look like a peach branch.
Song Wan suddenly remembered that day when she had begged him to leave the capital to rescue her father at the Prince Regent's Palace, he seemed to have said that he had personally carved a peach blossom hairpin and given it to her as a token of their love...
Later, "Song Jiu" threw the hairpin in front of him, saying that he was Yun Zheng's substitute...
Could this hairpin be the one he was talking about?
And now, he gave this hairpin back to her. How could she not understand the meaning behind it...
Thinking of this, Song Wan looked carefully at the hairpin in front of her, and the corners of her mouth could no longer help but rise.
She took his hand and placed the hairpin in his palm.
"Since it's a token of love, it naturally has to be put on me by the prince himself."
Jun Jiuchen looked at the brilliance that had bloomed again in her eyes, and his gaze fell on their folded hands and the peach blossom hairpin in her palm.
Finally, I didn't refuse again.
He just replied in a deep voice, "Okay."
Then, his bony fingers picked up the hairpin and carefully inserted it into her hair.
Song Wan raised her hand and gently stroked the hairpin in her hair, then raised her head and looked at him with a smile.
"Does it look good?"
Jun Jiuchen's eyes fell heavily on the smiling face in front of him, and he felt as if time was going backwards in his heart.
Back to the year when she was about to come of age, in that peach forest, when he first inserted the hairpin into her hair.
Her equally bright smile, and...
That brief kiss.
Then, the initial throbbing slowly spread in my heart, and then... it was out of control.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and his voice instantly became somewhat seductively hoarse.
"nice."
Outside the carriage, a light breeze blew, lifting the curtains and letting in some sunlight, which shone on Jun Jiuchen's profile, outlining his deep contours.
It also allowed Song Wan to clearly see the emotion that was difficult to conceal in his eyes.
When their eyes met, it seemed as if something quietly exploded between them.
Song Wan only felt her heartbeat suddenly start to accelerate.
It seems...
It was the first time he looked at her so openly.
When Song Wan was hesitating whether to give him some "encouragement", the restraint in Jun Jiuchen's eyes collapsed first. He suddenly grabbed the back of her head and pulled her closer.
Then, a passionate kiss came down.
Song Wan was caught off guard by his sudden action. Her breathing became a little rapid. Her hands unconsciously climbed onto his shoulders, and her fingertips exerted a little force, as if looking for support.
After a long time, until her breath was filled with his warm breath, he was willing to let her go. He held her in his arms, his chin gently resting on the top of her head, as if to calm his disordered breathing.
The slender fingers continued to gently stroke her neck, causing her body to tremble slightly.
Then, she heard him whispering her name.
He said.
"Late night..."
"I bought that house."
"From now on...that will be our 'home'..."
