Chapter 273 A Substitute Bride's Brave Love, A Prince Without Heirs Forever By Her Side - 3
"Master, it's the prince's impression of you that has changed, it's not my fault! Keep it up!"
The prince turned around and disgustedly pried her fingers apart little by little. "Want to get close to me? Dream on!"
Mu Wanwan then realized that this scoundrel had misunderstood.
She turned around, took out a quilt from the cabinet, and quickly spread it on the floor, leaving the prince bewildered.
Then she stood in front of the prince and said, “Your Highness, Wanwan is not the kind of person who says one thing and does another. Time will tell who is who.”
The prince pointed to the blanket on the floor. Did she expect him to sleep on the floor while she slept on the bed? She didn't seem to want to share a bed with him.
Fine, I'll help her to the end. After all, once Mu Keke is in the family, Mu Wanwan will be her sister. Before that, I can't let her suffer any injustice.
"That's enough, let's rest."
When the prince said, "Rest now," a happy smile immediately appeared on her face. She bowed to the prince and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"
Seeing that the prince was about to sleep on the makeshift bed on the floor, Mu Wanwan quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Your Highness, you sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor!"
The prince did not refuse, "Alright!"
When Mu Wanwan acted in modern dramas, she also acted in period dramas, so she naturally learned the etiquette of ancient people serving their husbands.
She followed behind him, and after he sat down, she knelt down and reached out to help him take off his shoes.
"Wait!"
Mu Wanwan's hand froze in mid-air. She raised her head slightly, her innocent eyes filled with a hint of bewilderment, looking as if she were completely naive.
"Your Highness, let me help you undress and rest!"
The prince sighed, still unable to accept that he had married the sister of the woman he admired. If it weren't for the substitution marriage, Mu Wanwan should have called him brother-in-law.
So there's no reason for a sister-in-law to take off her brother-in-law's shoes.
"No need! I can do it myself!"
Mu Wanwan's hands hung limply at her sides, her dejected appearance tugging at the prince's heartstrings.
"Wanwan, in my heart you're just Coco's little sister, do you understand?"
Mu Wanwan lowered her head and nodded. The prince couldn't tell her emotions; he was simply speaking frankly about his feelings.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I overstepped my bounds and didn't think things through."
The prince wasn't angry, which seemed like a good start. "Then Your Highness, I'll go and take off my headdress first."
"Go!"
Mu Wanwan moved to the dressing mirror and saw her own face. She was indeed stunningly beautiful. But why was the prince so unmoved by her face? This showed how deep his love for Mu Keke was.
When acting, the phoenix crowns on their heads are not made of real gold, but are all imitations, so they are not heavy at all when worn.
Now, the phoenix crown on her head is pure gold. She really felt sorry for the sisters who got married in ancient times. This lump on their heads was so heavy, and she felt like it was about to compress their necks.
However, the phoenix coronet and embroidered robes—the attire the prince prepared for Mu Keke showed that he had put a lot of thought into it.
The patterns on her clothes were all crocheted with gold thread, making them obviously very valuable.
If this dress were in modern times, it would definitely fetch a good price at auction. She raised her hand to take off the phoenix crown, probably because she was afraid it would fall off during the wedding ceremony. She wondered what they used to hold it on her head.
No matter what she did, she couldn't get rid of it. If she weren't in ancient times and had to maintain her persona, she would have gone crazy and started cursing immediately.
The prince, who had already undressed, sat on the bed, his gaze fixed on Mu Wanwan.
The girl placed her hands on the phoenix crown, swaying it left and right, trying to lift it up, but she couldn't remove it no matter what she did.
One moment she was twisting and turning angrily, the next she was looking at herself in the mirror from the left and right, trying to find the secret to removing the phoenix crown.
He stared at her without moving for a long time, not even realizing that the corners of his mouth were turned up, finding Mu Wanwan's actions adorable.
When the phoenix crown on her head was removed, she looked up and saw the prince in his undergarments in the bronze mirror, holding the phoenix crown in his hands.
"Your Majesty~"
Her face immediately flushed pink, and she called out sweetly, "Your Highness."
"I saw that you were having trouble taking it off, so I came to help you. Otherwise, you would have had to spend the whole night battling wits and courage with this phoenix crown and wouldn't be able to sleep."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness!"
Mu Wanwan wondered to herself, was the prince indirectly saying that she was stupid?
The prince gently placed the phoenix crown on the table, and was about to leave when Mu Wanwan called him back.
She reached out and touched the accessories on her back. "Your Highness, could you please remove these accessories as well? I can't quite reach them."
Her voice was very soft, like a feather brushing against the prince's heart, tickling him.
His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of troubling him, but he had no choice but to ask him for help since he couldn't get it himself.
"it is good!"
And so, the prince stood behind her and simply removed everything from her head, even thoughtfully letting down her coiled hair.
The thought that since her hair was already down, if she called in a maid to help her comb it, wouldn't it mean that her sleeping on the floor would be discovered?
He simply picked up a comb from the side and was about to comb her hair when she, a beat slow to react, tried to snatch the comb from the prince's hand.
"Your Highness, you mustn't! I'll comb my own hair."
The prince didn't seem to care. "Your hair is so long, are you sure your arms are long enough to reach the back of your hair?"
She deflated like a punctured balloon, her voice muffled as she said, "No!"
"Sit still properly, this is the first time I've ever helped someone comb my hair."
Mu Wanwan stared at the prince in the mirror with bright eyes, determined to provide him with ample emotional support.
"Really? Is Your Highness truly serious?"
The prince was in a great mood. "Of course, would I lie to a little girl like you?"
Seeing her nervous and at a loss, he combed her hair while comforting her, "Consider tonight a learning experience. When your sister marries into the royal family, I'll be able to show off my skills too."
Just moments ago, Mu Wanwan was full of energy, but her eyes instantly dimmed. "Oh~"
"What? You're unhappy that I used your hair as practice?"
The prince seemed to sense her change in mood and thought she was unhappy. Considering that Mu Wanwan was a year or two younger than Mu Keke, she naturally still had the mind of a child.
It's understandable that he felt a great emotional shift after being forced into a marriage by his parents without any reason, and he didn't want to hold it against them.
"Don't be upset, it'll be over soon!"
Mu Wanwan stood there, unwilling to lie down and sleep, while the prince sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"What, still not sleepy?"
She clutched her clothes tightly, her face as red as a ripe apple, standing awkwardly in place.
"Your Highness, why don't you go to sleep first, then I'll dare to take off my clothes."
The prince immediately understood; he had just been offering to undress the man, but now that he was in front of him, the man was so embarrassed.
So incredibly cute!
