Chapter 368: Visiting Her Late at Night
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Old Madam Zhou scoffed and said disdainfully, “So what if she’s the Eldest Princess? Her mother still had to serve me tea respectfully back then in order to marry into the King of Zhenbei’s Residence back then! ”
In order not to make things difficult for the King of Zhenbei, Princess Changning had been kind to Old Madam Zhou. Unexpectedly, her past kindness would give Old Madam Zhou the confidence to suppress her daughter in the future.
“Grandmother, calm down,” Yu Xiaoxiao said, pretending to be sensible.
“You’re so sensible. When you enter the Eastern Palace in the future, the
Empress and the Crown Prince will definitely be satisfied with you,” Old
Madam Zhou said in a slightly smug tone as she patted the back of Yu Xiaoxiao’s hand.
Old Madam Zhou watched Yu Xiaoxia grow up. If Yu Xiaoxiao’s status rose in the future, her status as Yu Xiaoxiao’s grandmother would naturally rise as well.
Yu Xiaoxiao pretended to be embarrassed as she said, “Grandmother, if you keep saying such things, I’ll feel really embarrassed.”
“Alright, alright. Let’s not talk anymore. Let’s enter the residence first.”
As soon as Yu Yunxi arrived at the entrance of Ning Courtyard, Meng Xia and the others came out to greet her.
“Eldest Princess, you’re back.”
“Mm.”
Yu Yunxi nodded.
A certain white wolf ran over and rubbed Yu Yunxi’s ankle affectionately.
Meng Xia looked behind Yu Yunxi before she asked, “Eldest Princess, where’s the little master? Didn’t he come back with you?”
Although Meng Xia had only known the little bun for a short time, she also liked the little bun a lot.
“He’ll be staying in the King of Youshan’s Residence for now. He’ll come another time,” Yu Yunxi replied.
Meng Xia felt slightly disappointed when she heard this, but she did not say anything.
At night.
The weather was slightly cold, and Yu Yunxi was dozing off on a chair.
Meng Xia came in with a cup of tea, and when she saw Yu Yunxi dozing off, she said, “Eldest Princess, if you’re tired, go to sleep.”
Yu Yunxi frowned slightly.
“Eldest Princess, do you have something to do?” Meng Xia asked, confused.
A hint of annoyance flashed in Yu Yunxi’s eyes when she heard these words. Unknowingly, she had taken Feng Yili’s words to heart and had been waiting for him. After all, he had said he would look for her tonight.
‘I must be crazy…’
“Close the window, and you can take your leave,” Yu Yunxi said.
“Yes, Eldest Princess.’
Meng Xia made the bed for Yu Yunxi and closed the window before she left.
Silence descended in the room, and Yu Yunxi massaged her nose bridge. Just as she was about to go to bed, she heard a slight noise from the window. Her gaze turned cold immediately. Thinking it was an assassin, she hurriedly brought a silver needle out. However, before she released the silver needle, she saw a familiar figure.
‘Feng Yili!’
Feng Yili was dressed in all black, and he did not wear his mask. His eyebrows were distinct, his nose bridge was high, and his lips were slightly pursed. His face seemed to have been carefully sculpted.
Although this was the first time Yu Yunxi had seen his face after she lost her memory, she did not doubt that the man in front of her was Feng Yili. Feng Yili raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice, “You’re still awake?”
Yu Yunxi ignored her throbbing heart and pretended to be calm as she said, was just getting ready to sleep.”
Feng Yili strode over and stood in front of her, blocking the light. He asked hoarsely with a hint of anticipation in his voice, “Were you waiting for me?”
Yu Yunxi’s face turned red immediately, and she quickly denied it. “Prince Regent, you’re overthinking things. I drank too much tea earlier so I couldn’t sleep. I wasn’t waiting for you.”
“Is that so?” Feng Yili smiled knowingly. When he arrived earlier, he saw her yawn. However, since she was embarrassed, he would not expose her.
Feng Yili took the initiative and placed his hands on her shoulders as he explained seriously, “Sorry. I was investigating a traitor earlier so I was late.”
In fact, this was just a trivial matter, but Feng Yili still wanted to explain it to Yu Yunxi. He was worried that she would think he broke his promise to her.
“I’ve already said I wasn’t waiting for you. Whether you’re late or not has nothing to do with me,” Yu Yunxi said stubbornly as she looked away.
Feng Yili’s smile widened when he heard these words. Although she had lost her memory, her temperament was still the same.
He said meaningfully, “In the past, when you were angry with me, you’d also act in this manner…”
Yu Yunxi:
‘If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t act like that…
With that, Yu Yunxi awkwardly changed the topic. She asked, “W-what’s with the traitor you mentioned?”
Feng Yili leaned over. The tip of his nose was just half a finger’s length away from the tip of her nose as he asked, “Eldest Princess, are you worried about
She could feel his warm breath, and the candlelight flickering in the room only made the atmosphere even more ambiguous.
Yu Yunxi’s heart began to thump wildly in her chest again. It was so quiet that she could even hear her heartbeat.
Feng Yili smiled. “Eldest Princess, are you nervous? Hmm?”
“I’m not nervous!” Yu Yunxi quickly denied it.
‘Why is this man so close?’
Yu Yunxi wanted to create some distance between them, but she soon discovered there was a table behind her, blocking her retreat.
“That traitor was planted by one of the princes by the old King of Youshan’s side. I had been feigning ignorance to lure the enemy out of hiding. As expected, after I came to the capital, the traitor became restless and could no longer sit still,” Feng Yili explained in a low voice.
“So you knew who the traitor was all along?” Yu Yunxi asked.
“Yes.”
“Then do you know which prince the traitor worked for?” Yu Yunxi continued to ask.
“No. The mastermind has yet to show himself so we have to continue waiting,” Feng Yili said. He straightened his back before he reached out and pinched her cheek with his slender and long fingers.
‘So soft…
Feng Yili could not help but smile.
‘Why does he always pinch my cheek as though I’m a child?’
Yu Yunxi pouted.
Feng Yili acted as though he did not see her unhappy expression and said, “It’s already so late. Princess Consort, let’s go to bed.”
“Y-you, you, you’re not going to sleep here tonight, are you?” Yu Yunxi stammered, shocked.
“We’re husband and wife. Shouldn’t we sleep together?” Feng Yili asked in return with a straight face.
“That’s true, but…”
Yu Yunxi was at a loss for words. She did not know how to explain herself to Feng Yili.
She was still in a dilemma when Feng Yili reached out and carried her to the bed. In just a blink of an eye, she was already lying in bed with him.
Feng Yili held her slender waist with one hand and used the other to cover her with the blanket.
Yu Yunxi’s face flushed red again when she felt the warmth on her back. She said nervously, “Feng Yili, I, I haven’t recovered my memories yet. You can’t…”
However, before she could finish speaking, Feng Yili lowered his head near her neck, and he gently bit her earlobe..
