Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation
Liu Shimei’s gaze made Huangfu Lingyao feel the panic as if a blade had grazed his scalp!
He thought to himself, ‘Why is my wife looking at me like this? Is she suspicious of something? Did I get too carried away just now and reveal my true colors?’
He even thought, ‘Blame this unruly thing; it goes mad and makes my mind go blank!’
Frantically contemplating, he wondered, ‘How can I bluff my way through this?’
But when his mind was filled with thoughts of drama, Liu Shimei showed no reaction at all. Instead, she smiled gently and said, “Lingyao, I really wish time would pass more quickly.”
Pass more quickly?
Huangfu Lingyao was first puzzled, and it took him a while to understand the meaning of her words!
His eyes lit up, “Wife, do you also wish for September sixteenth to come quickly so that we can get married and enter the bridal chamber soon?”
The three words ‘enter the bridal chamber’ were emphasized!
Clearly, his eagerness to get married quickly stemmed from the desire to enter the bridal chamber?
So, after knowing this person for such a long time, she realized that his mind wasn’t filled with the peculiar thoughts of a little boy but rather the thought processes of an adult man?
Liu Shimei choked for a moment, then burst into laughter without answering his question.
Being so close, his features were still flawless as if filtered a hundred times, like a celestial being made of jade!
She felt a stir in her heart, leaned in, and lightly touched his chin with her red and swollen lips, then tightly embraced his neck.
“In fact, whether we get married early or not doesn’t make much of a difference,” she said. In her eyes, it was all about being affectionate.
But Huangfu Lingyao thought it did matter!
Being married not only meant having a wedding night but also the possibility of having little children!
Rarely did Liu Shimei take such initiative towards himself. If there was a field of flowers in Emperor Fu Lingyao’s heart, it would be in full bloom now, like a garden filled with blossoms, much like the azalea-covered hills in the Valley of Myriad Butterflies, or the vast peony field in Changchun Garden.
He even thought, “In her eyes, I’m a fool, but she has fallen for a fool like me. How foolish can she be?”
The more foolish she seemed, the more unwilling he was to treat her even slightly unkindly or let her suffer any harm.
Soon, he thought, “On the night of our wedding, while lying in the same bed, I’ll explain everything to her. After being honest, there will be no need to deceive her anymore!”
So it was decided!
Grand Chancellor’s Temple.
The second daughter of the Liu family, Liu Yan’er, was conferred the title of Crown Princess. This good news naturally reached Xiangguo Temple through the eyes and ears that Madame Zhang had left behind in the Capital.
Madame Zhang wore the same plain attire as the Grand Chancellor’s Temple nuns, devoid of any jewelry, presenting herself as simple, completely lacking the majestic aura of a Grand Chancellor’s wife. Though not yet 35, she appeared to be in her forties.
Due to Liu Fuyun’s ruthless suppression of anyone who knew about Liu Yan’er’s indiscretion, only Grandma Cai, a confidante who was unaware of the matter, accompanied Liu Yan’er to Xiangguo Temple.
Cai Popo arrived at the entrance of the meditation room, finding Madame Zhang lost in thought, watching the dripping raindrops from the eaves. Excitedly, she said, “Madam, great news! Second Young Miss has been conferred the title!”
“What!” Madam Zhang’s face revealed the first smile in the long time she had spent at Grand Chancellor’s Temple. “Crown Princess?”
“Yes!” Grandma Cai’s face beamed with joy.. “Second Young Miss sent the message, saying that, using the pretext of the Crown Princess’s wedding, she will arrange for an elaborate sedan chair to bring you back! We can go back
now!”
