Chapter 1041: Witnessing A Display Of Affection Early In The Morning
Feng Tianlan climbed down from his body obediently. She went to freshen herself up and put on a proper set of clothes. He had prepared everything for her already. It really wasn’t bad at all to be married to such a gentle and caring husband.
After drinking her porridge, Shui Jue came into the room. When he raised his head and saw Si Mobai wiping Feng Tianlan’s mouth, he lowered his head immediately and made his report earnestly. “Your Highness, Princess Consort. Crown Prince Jin is with Shen Yunya and they are requesting to meet the two of you.”
Why must he be the one to make this report? Others could have done it as well. After seeing Mobai do that as soon as he came in, his empty stomach which hadn’t had any breakfast suddenly felt bloated!
With a soft ‘uh-huh’, Feng Tianlan pointed at the bunny-shaped lantern on the wall and asked, “Mobai made this for me. It looks nice, right?”
“…” Shui Jue was speechless for a moment. Finally, he answered in a deep voice, “It looks great.”
His Highness made it himself. How could it look bad? It must have been hard for the ten most elite bodyguards to go around Lin’an City in the middle of the night to search up the method for making a lantern. They probably had to knock on some elderly teacher’s door to consult them on how to make it a bunny-shaped lantern. They were also probably mistaken for thieves and almost caused a scene in Lin’an City.
Ever since Her Highness came, the ten elite bodyguards stopped killing. There weren’t just bodyguards anymore. They had to buy groceries, sweep the floor, send mail, and do other household chores. They had all felt slightly aggrieved with their plight.
However, with a great mistress like Her Highness, they didn’t feel aggrieved for long. The only thing that made them feel remorseful was the fact that they were always nauseous before they even had their breakfast in the morning.
“Mobai, let’s go take a look. It’s time we resolved this matter.” Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at the bunny-shaped lantern. She curled her lips. She seemed to be in a very good mood today.
Feng Tianlan found Shen Yunya standing behind Xi Jin as soon as she left the courtyard. She wore a baggy green palace dress. Although it was baggy, her bulging tummy could still be seen. After doing some calculations, she decided Shen Yunya was most likely about four months pregnant.
Besides her pregnancy and even though she was at Nanyuan, she looked like she had grown slightly plump. She must have been living a rather nice life of late.
She turned to look at Xi Jin who was dressed in a dark green suit. His gaze was still as gentle as a jade. There wasn’t any change in him. But Shen Yunya, on the other hand, was staring solely at him, as if she only had eyes for him.
Frankly, if those incidents hadn’t happened, Shen Yunya and Xi Jin would have been quite a good match. However, her mind was too narrow to accommodate thoughts of another person. Besides, all her deeds frequently angered gods and men alike. Therefore, it would be impossible for them to live happily ever after.
Xi Jin raised his head slightly and greeted them when he saw them coming out of the room. “Demon King, Tianlan.”
“You can really take a hit.” Si Mobai looked at Xi Jin who was standing tall like a pine tree, wondering if he had been too easy on him two nights ago.
Feng Tianlan tugged at Si Mobai’s arm, then turned to Shen Yunya and smiled. “How did you celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival last night?”
Shen Yunya raised her head and stared at Feng Tianlan with eyes full of hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, “I don’t feel like talking to you today.”
She would definitely avenge her parents. She finally had a chance to meet Brother Jin today and didn’t want to waste her precious time talking to Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan shrugged indifferently. “Let’s go to the dungeon. Jiang Ying wants to see you.”
Shen Yunya raised her head and looked at Xi Jin affectionately. She touched her bulging tummy. “Brother Jin, our royal son already knows how to move. You don’t know how mischievous he is. He even told me…”
Xi Jin interrupted her indifferently, “The baby in Yun’er stomach is also a royal son. He started to move a long time ago. Besides, when I touched her belly, he was even more mischievous. It seems like he couldn’t wait to start calling me ‘Dad’.”
