Chapter 5: The Confrontation Between Yue Ningshuang and Yue Wu Xia
And outside, the maid sent by Yue Wu Xia was stopped by Yue Ningshuang’s maid. Although the two princesses had some disagreements on the matter of Mingyan, their relationship was still very good, so naturally, the maids of the two princesses also had a good private relationship.
Before, the maids of Yaochi Palace had seen the little prince and the second princess holding hands, talking and laughing as they walked into the palace. This scene was really not good for the people of Moon Shadow Palace to know, especially that grand princess, Yue Wu Xia.
“Is the prince in the palace?” the maid from Moon Shadow Palace asked, and the maid from Yaochi Palace had a difficult look on her face. “You’d better not ask…”
“Just reveal a little. It won’t be a big deal. You don’t know the grand princess’s mood. If I can’t find out anything, the grand princess will definitely question me…” the maid from Moon Shadow Palace had a bitter look on her face. “Just help me…”
“…Aiyo, before… before, the little prince and Princess Ningshuang were very intimate; they walked into the house together. That’s all I can say… don’t make things difficult for me. If I talk nonsense and get caught, I will also be punished…” the maid from Yaochi Palace sighed and said in a low voice.
The maid from Moon Shadow Palace nodded. It was enough to ask to this extent. She immediately left and returned to Moon Shadow Palace, telling Yue Wu Xia the news she had heard.
After hearing this, Yue Wu Xia’s face was still very clear and cold, without any change. It was just that the hands resting on the armrests of the chair seemed to be gripping them tightly. On the back of her fair hands, faint blue veins could be seen. Her mood was definitely not as simple as it appeared on her face.
“Leave,” Yue Wu Xia’s trusted maid saw this and quickly let the reporting maid leave. Because she knew that although Yue Wu Xia seemed to be in a very calm mood, she was actually already angry. If she didn’t let the reporting maid leave, she was afraid that Yue Wu Xia would vent her anger on her.
“Your Highness… calm down. Maybe… maybe the prince deliberately went to the second princess to make you angry and more nervous about him…” the trusted maid quickly comforted her.
Yue Wu Xia glanced at her trusted maid, her eyes cold. But the two hands holding the armrests relaxed. She took a deep breath. “He wants to find Ningshuang, then let him. I’ve said it before, he has a choice. If he comes over later, he is absolutely not allowed to rush in again. At that time, tell him that I am temporarily unable to see people and let him wait until I call him in.”
The trusted maid nodded lightly. “This servant obeys.”
“Leave. I want to be alone for a while,” Yue Wu Xia let out a long breath, waved her hand, and sent the trusted maid away.
After Yue Wu Xia was the only one left in the palace, she stood up and stamped her foot hard!
This dead person! He actually went to find Yue Ningshuang!
Does he really think I won’t get angry?! Still wants to see me?! Still wants to hug me? Still wants to kiss me? Still wants to marry me? Go and dream!
After stamping her foot to vent her anger, Yue Wu Xia gradually quieted down. If it was really as the trusted maid had said, that Mingyan went to find Yue Ningshuang to make her more nervous about him, he would not succeed…
Yue Wu Xia snorted coldly and returned to her boudoir in a huff.
And on Mingyan’s side, after stealing Yue Ningshuang’s first kiss, the two of them hugged each other. Yue Ningshuang’s expression was very happy. “Aiya… you kissed me directly. Then the bet is gone?”
“Why must there be a bet?” Mingyan smiled. “There is no need for a bet between us. It’s just a kiss. As long as you want it, I can give it to you anytime.”
“…Yes, I’m just not used to it yet. After all, before, let alone a kiss, even for you to look at me, I had to spend a lot of effort…” Yue Ningshuang’s eyes were as bright as stars. Her tone was a little melancholic, and also happy. “But, I will get used to it. I will get used to your eyes always staying on me, I will get used to being able to act spoiled in your arms, I will get used to the feeling of being able to smell your breath anytime, anywhere…”
Mingyan was stunned. Then he felt a sour pain in his heart. Yue Ningshuang’s words could always directly pierce his heart. Just this degree of intimacy required her to adapt, because this was something she had wanted before, but could only have from a great distance.
Mingyan held Yue Ningshuang tightly. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
“Hmm… why are you suddenly hugging so tightly?” Yue Ningshuang felt Mingyan suddenly use force, making her a little out of breath. But she did not struggle, just asked with a smile.
“Because I feel I have wronged you a lot…” Mingyan sighed. “Ningshuang, what I owed you before, I will make it up to you later…”
“Hehe… I regret less and less that I have been following behind you. Even though you were not willing to look at me before, now you are holding me so emotionally. Mingyan… I like you so much…” Yue Ningshuang pressed her head against Mingyan’s chest, her tone gentle. When Mingyan heard it, his heart softened.
“I told Feiyan about our relationship before. Feiyan doesn’t object at all,” Mingyan said with a smile. “Do you want to see Feiyan?”
Of course, Yue Ningshuang had seen Huang Feiyan many times, but that was all before Mingyan had accepted her. Even though Huang Feiyan felt that Yue Ningshuang was a little pitiful, because Mingyan was not interested in her, she and Yue Ningshuang had no interaction and had not even spoken a few words.
And now, their status was different. After Yue Ningshuang was accepted by Mingyan, she was already his designated wife. Although in terms of age, Yue Ningshuang was a little older than Huang Feiyan, after all, Huang Feiyan had married Mingyan very early on. So before, Huang Feiyan had called Yue Ningshuang ‘sister’, but after entering the family, it should be Yue Ningshuang who called Huang Feiyan ‘sister’.
“…Are you in such a hurry? I’m a little nervous…” Yue Ningshuang’s beautiful face grew hot upon hearing this. “Huang Feiyan… no, Feiyan… no, that’s not right. Sister Feiyan won’t… won’t hate me? After all, I’m taking your love for her away from her.”
“How could that be? And how could my love for you affect my love for others?” Mingyan smiled slightly. “She’s even less likely to hate you. In fact, she often speaks well of you in my ear. I’m almost tired of hearing it.”
“Huh? Is that so?” Yue Ningshuang was a little surprised. She had not expected that Huang Feiyan would speak well of her. But from her impression of Huang Feiyan from the few times they had met, she was indeed very friendly to her. Even when Yue Ningshuang had shown her good feelings for Mingyan in front of her, Huang Feiyan had never been angry. With such a wife, it was no wonder that even though Mingyan liked her sister Yue Wu Xia so much, he was still unwilling to divorce his wife. If it were her, Yue Ningshuang wouldn’t be willing to divorce such a wife either.
“So, there’s no need to worry,” Mingyan kissed Yue Ningshuang on the cheek and smiled. “Shall we go and see Feiyan?”
“Hmm… not yet,” Yue Ningshuang thought for a while and shook her head with a troubled face.
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to see Feiyan?” Mingyan found it a little strange.
“No, I really want to see Sister Feiyan. But, we still have to handle my sister’s situation. We can’t give my sister too much stimulation at once. We have to do it step by step. So, for now, we can’t go and see Sister Feiyan. We have to wait until we’ve maintained this relationship for a while before we go. And by then, my sister will probably know that we’re serious and are really planning to get married. She’ll be more anxious then, and you, my dear, will be able to get what you want,” Yue Ningshuang shook her head, pressed the tip of her nose against Mingyan’s, her fragrant breath filling his nostrils. She smiled slightly. “You have to be patient, Mingyan.”
“Aiyo, you are always so considerate of me,” Mingyan sighed. “Are you trying to make my heart ache to death?”
“Isn’t that the best? Who asked you not to feel sorry for me before? Now, this is your punishment, to make your heart ache to death~” Yue Ningshuang’s smile was charming, and then she chuckled, sat up from Mingyan’s lap. “Come with me, I’ll show you the lotus flowers I’ve planted…”
And on Yue Wu Xia’s side, having waited for Mingyan for a long time to no avail, she had a cold face, her hands clenched into fists, her heart a little uneasy.
Is Mingyan just trying to make her nervous, or has he really had a change of heart?
If he really has had a change of heart, what should she do?
That fellow, Yue Ningshuang, had said that she didn’t mind Huang Feiyan at all. No matter what she thought in her heart, at least she had said so. If Mingyan believed her, then it would be quite troublesome.
Originally, Yue Wu Xia had planned to give Mingyan the cold shoulder when he came to find her. But he hadn’t come at all, as if he really didn’t plan to…
Yue Wu Xia frowned. She didn’t believe it. Had Mingyan really given up on her? He had been completely uninterested in Yue Ningshuang before, but he had suddenly gotten together with her. Wasn’t this an act? He must be using Yue Ningshuang’s feelings for him to deceive her, to force her to acknowledge Huang Feiyan’s existence. If she gave in at this time, Mingyan would definitely climb up the pole as he had before.
She was all too familiar with this kind of Mingyan.
Yue Wu Xia took a deep breath. She had to hold her ground and not lose her composure first. Once she handed over the initiative to Mingyan, he would definitely not care about her as much as before. What you can’t get is the most precious. Yue Wu Xia firmly believed this.
Just like this, one day, two days, three days passed…
During these few days, Mingyan had come to the royal palace every day, but he had never gone to find Yue Wu Xia. Every day, Yue Wu Xia could hear the maids report that Mingyan had gone to Yaochi Palace, but her expression did not change at all.
And Yue Ningshuang? Her relationship with Mingyan had naturally risen rapidly these few days. The two of them talked about love, appreciated flowers together, and kissed. These had all become daily routines, and there was always a possibility of going a step further.
On the fourth day, Mingyan did not come to the royal palace because his wife’s cousin, Huang Nishang, had already arrived at the prince’s mansion.
