Chapter 38: Why Don’t You Try?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, Yun Ran felt as if her mind had been struck by lightning.

A certain immortal bird’s gossipy bird language sounded in her mind at the right time:

My wisdom tells me he probably means that he can have babies with you…

Speaking of which, the closer you are to him, the higher the spiritual energy you will obtain. It’s better to hug than to hold hands. It’s better to kiss than to hug… Why don’t you try?

Yun Ran was speechless.

One day, she would pluck out that bird’s feathers one by one!

Her mind was filled with the demonic voice of a certain bird. Her vision was filled with the man’s bewitching face and that dangerous aura…

Especially those eyes. They were as deep as a thousand-year-old lake in the night as if they hid a demonic charm. They were soul-stirring and could make one sink into them if they were not careful.

Her heart skipped a beat.

In the next moment, she quickly raised her hand and pulled the blanket over herself.

“Your Highness, what did you say? I’m so sleepy! Uh… I can’t open my eyes anymore. I’m going to sleep!”

Perhaps because her face was covered by the blanket, the voice sounded soft and mushy, like a feather brushing against his heart. It was soft and stirring.

Nangong Mo closed his eyes and calmed down slightly. His voice was low. “Idiot.”

Yun Ran was speechless.

At first, Yun Ran thought that she wouldn’t be able to sleep with a shameless dog sleeping beside her. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep after a while.

Perhaps it was because she, who was by nature extremely sensitive to danger and malice, did not feel any danger or threat. Instead, she felt strangely at ease.

After she fell asleep, Nangong Mo slowly opened his eyes and gently pulled off the blanket covering her face. As expected, her face was red.

A faint helpless smile flashed across the man’s deep eyes.

He quietly looked at the girl’s peaceful sleeping face. The little girl was as soft as a petal, but she was especially fierce and arrogant when she fought…

Yun Ran had a good night’s sleep and woke up early the next day. Because she was in the palace, she was too embarrassed to stay in bed.

But she realized that Nangong Mo didn’t seem to have slept well; she saw the dark circles under his eyes. They were faint, but they were there!

If she hadn’t been with him the whole time, she’d have wondered if he’d snuck off to be a thief in the middle of the night.

“Your Highness, were you not used to sleeping here?”

The man snorted and sat there gracefully. “Change my clothes.”

She rolled her eyes at him in silent contempt.

However, she picked up his clothes very obsequiously. “Alright, Your Highness!”

When she was dressing him, she almost strangled him to death several times.

Regarding this, Nangong Mo was certain that the petty woman had done it on purpose!

Even so, he let her tie his hair. It was inevitable that she would harm a few more strands.

Nangong Mo was speechless but he had a lot of hair to spare!

The breakfast was served at the Changle Palace. It was very sumptuous. The Empress Dowager smiled as lovingly as ever. From time to time, she instructed the palace maids to prepare food for Yun Ran. She kept smiling and asked her to eat more.

After the meal, the Empress Dowager chatted with Yun Ran for a while before letting her and Nangong Mo stroll around the imperial garden.

As soon as Yun Ran pushed Nangong Mo away, Aunt Hong walked to the Empress Dowager’s side and whispered in her ear.

The dowager frowned at that. “Did you say they didn’t consummate the marriage?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I was guarding outside the hall yesterday and didn’t hear any sounds. Today, the palace servants carefully checked the bedsheets. Your Highness and the princess consort were indeed sleeping on the same bed.”

The Empress Dowager frowned thoughtfully.

“I observed carefully yesterday. Jiulang should be interested in that girl.”

“Think about it. How many women have chased after him in the past? Look at his attitude towards Yue’er now. I don’t believe that he’s not interested at all.”

Aunt Hong nodded in agreement. “There are rumors going around the capital about how His Highness dotes on the Princess Consort. Although the truth is not as exaggerated as the rumors, His Highness does treat the Princess differently.”

“I also like this girl very much. She looks much better than that Lin Yanran. What is Jiulang thinking? He can’t still be missing Lin Yanran, right?”

“Well… I suppose not.”

“He was living separately from that girl in the residence. Now that I’ve finally managed to get the two of them together, he’s doing so well!”

“His Highness should understand your painstaking efforts.”

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager snorted and said rather resentfully:

“If he really understood, I would have a great-grandson by now!”

“I’ve asked Imperial Physician Fu about this child. Those rumors are all nonsense! How can he have a hidden illness? He’s clearly very normal!”

Aunt Hong agreed with this point. “Old Fu has excellent medical skills! If it weren’t for the fact that I’m 100% sure, I wouldn’t have said anything. His Highness is doing very well. Now that they’re married, Your Majesty, just wait for the good news!”

“Wait for him to get the hang of it? God knows how long that will take!”

Although the Empress Dowager’s tone was disdainful, there was clearly a doting and loving smile hidden in the corners of her eyes.

“Now that they’re both here, I have to help them.”

When Aunt Hong heard this, she looked up at the Empress Dowager’s thoughtful expression and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Empress Dowager, do you want to… ”

The two of them had been together for decades. With just a glance and expression, they could tell what each other was thinking.

The dowager smiled enigmatically and beckoned to Aunt Hong. “Come, I’ll tell you. Go and… ”

Although it was winter and everything was bleak, the scenery in the imperial garden was still beautiful.

The sun was warm and the breeze was warm. The weather was exceptionally good, and one’s mood would involuntarily brighten.

Yun Ran was originally pushing Nangong Mo around the garden. When they passed by a koi pond, Nangong Mo said that he wanted to go to the pavilion to feed the fish.

Yun Ran recalled how he would usually threaten to throw her into the lake to feed the fish if there was a disagreement. She would stare at the back of his head for a while before leaving him there to continue walking around in the garden.

The water sleeve terrace, the rockery, and the jade pool seemed to linger as though they were in a painting.

She turned a corner and saw a slender figure walking toward him.

His eyes were warm and his face was like jade. There was a faint smile on his lips.

Yun Ran’s eyes flickered as she looked down at the grass and pretended not to see him.

“Wanyue.”

Yun Ran was speechless.

She turned around and looked up in surprise. “Your Highness? You’re also visiting the imperial garden! What a coincidence!”

The smile in Nangong Jue’s eyes deepened. He walked up to her and stood still. His voice was gentle and gentle.

“It’s not a coincidence. I went to Changle Palace to greet Grandmother just now. When I found out that you were also in the palace and strolling in the imperial garden, I wanted to come and look for you.”

So he had specially come to look for her… and Nangong Mo?

“Is something the matter, Your Highness?”

Nangong Jue smiled and took out two white jade bottles from his sleeve.

“This is a strange medicine I obtained from a famous hermit doctor when I was in Jiangnan for disaster relief. It’s very beneficial to Ninth Brother’s leg injury.”
