“Mother, it’s really delicious. With such skills, why would we even need a chef at home?”

Cheng Guang casually praised, but Wu Yuemei couldn’t stop smiling at his words, her warm smile growing even more intense as she looked at him with eyes filled with affection.

“Guanger, if you like it, Mom can make some more for you when I have the time.”

Knowing that this was Wu Yuemei’s kind intention, Cheng Guang didn’t refuse, and continued to eat while nodding in agreement.

“Mother, you don’t need to go through too much trouble.”

Wu Yuemei smiled and nodded her head and then turned her gaze to the Queen of the South Ming.

“Ming Xian, what do you think?”

The Princess of South Ming had little appetite at the time; her beautiful face had stiffened, but out of respect for Wu Yuemei, she still ate a little and tasted it lightly before saying:

“It’s delicious.”

Hearing the Princess of South Ming also nod, Wu Yuemei’s heart relaxed, and she instructed the servants to serve the Spirit Food for everyone. She then invited Cheng Guang and the Princess of South Ming to start eating.

Cheng Guang didn’t know how the Princess of South Ming found her meal, but he himself certainly enjoyed it.

After the meal ended and the banquet dispersed, the Princess of South Ming got up to leave.

Wu Yuemei, too, could no longer press for her to stay, so she pulled Cheng Guang to send the Princess off.

At the gates of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, the Princess’s luxurious Jade Carriage appeared in front.

As the Princess was about to board, she turned her head, glancing at Cheng Guang with a dignified smile, “If you have time, feel free to visit your aunt at my residence.”

“Auntie might stay in the Capital City for a while longer, but if you wish to see your auntie after some time, you would probably have to go to the South Ming Mansion.”

South Ming Mansion, that’s the domain of the King of South Ming.

A distance of ten thousand miles from the Capital City.

Cheng Guang laughed upon hearing this and didn’t say much more.

Did the Queen of South Ming seem to be suggesting he take the initiative to see her again?

How interesting.

Cheng Guang was well aware that he hardly had the means to deal with this seemingly straightforward but actually cunning back-stabber Princess of South Ming.

Seeing that Cheng Guang agreed, the Princess’s gaze didn’t linger on him too much longer. After glancing at Wu Yuemei and nodding slightly as a farewell, she entered her Jade Carriage with a faint smile on her face.

The Princess of South Ming left quickly.

The Jade Carriage disappeared at the heart of the street.

Wu Yuemei took Cheng Guang back to the mansion.

Walking on the shaded path paved with stones within the mansion, Wu Yuemei was feeling nostalgic, “Your Aunt Ming Xian is really becoming more and more beautiful. She didn’t look like this a few years ago; she seems even more beautiful now.”

“But Guanger, don’t you go falling for your auntie in vain. I saw you eyeing her non-stop. Yanqiu is just as outstanding as your Aunt Ming Xian.”

Wu Yuemei inevitably noticed Cheng Guang’s small gestures, but out of respect for him, she did not openly confront him.

Now that the Princess of South Ming was gone, Wu Yuemei brought it up.

At her words, Cheng Guang’s face turned red.

It was an embarrassingly familiar feeling, like being caught watching something inappropriate as a child.

To tell the truth, it wasn’t solely because I coveted the Princess of South Ming’s body that I kept staring at her; it was entirely because I wanted to study a bit of ergonomics.

Without saying much more, Wu Yuemei irkedly tapped Cheng Guang’s forehead twice and then turned to leave.

After parting with Wu Yuemei, Cheng Guang returned to the Million Specie Garden.

…

By the time Cheng Guang returned to the Million Specie Garden, the Princess of South Ming had also returned to her residence in the Capital City to rest.

Seeing that the Princess was not in a good mood, her maids did not dare to speak, holding their breath as they escorted her to her room.

They speculated that perhaps the Princess was tired from her visit to Duke Zhen’s Mansion, so they carefully closed the room door, not daring to disturb her.

The magnificence and elegance of the accommodations of the Princess of South Ming go without saying.

The Princess sat on her bed, not moving all afternoon. Her mood had been unsettled ever since leaving Duke Zhen’s Mansion, as restless as ever.

Their plan had been going very smoothly, but unexpectedly, there were always accidents.

Failing to assassinate Duke’s Heir was one thing.

Then there was the martial contest between Great Wei and Great Zhou, which got disrupted by Duke’s Heir as well.

Even this time, the hiding place of spies from the Devil Clan trying to sneak across the border had been discovered by Duke’s Heir.

All these variables seemed to revolve around Duke’s Heir.

Her visit to Duke Zhen’s Mansion today was to see what Duke’s Heir was truly about. Though he seemed to have some depth, at his core, he was just a lecher.

The Princess of South Ming felt that as soon as she closed her eyes, the image of Duke’s Heir gazing at her would emerge before her.

For some reason, she felt that his eyes, which seemed to covet her body, had an even greater sense of mockery and amusement.

As if…

She had been stripped bare and placed in front of Duke’s Heir.

The thought made the Princess shake her head quickly and lightly pat her cheeks, which had spaced out. She felt as if she had developed a psychological shadow from his gaze.

So, she tossed and turned for half an hour.

Suddenly, the Princess sat upright.

Beyond the gauzy curtains, the light from the Ever-bright Lamp shone upon her delicate and fair face, which was beautiful beyond words.

At this moment, the Princess recalled the look in Cheng Guang’s eyes when she spoke to him before departing.
