Chapter 286 Jealousy
"Sister Crown Princess, do you know what Zhenbao and I did today?"
Fule and Zhenbao skipped and hopped over to Shi Nuanyu, each carrying something in their hands.
Treasure approached with a grin, "Princess, Treasure and Fule helped the people sell fruit and earned them a lot of copper coins."
Fule happily took out some fruit and handed it to her, saying, "Yes, they also gave us some fruit."
Shi Nuanyu chuckled as she took the fruit, took a big bite, and savored the sweet juice.
"Delicious! You two little girls are always gone, you've been playing all day long."
Fule's eyes sparkled, and she excitedly pressed her face against her shoulder, acting coquettishly.
"I am very happy to be able to do things for the people. I want to be a princess who loves her country and protects her people, just like my elder sister, the Crown Princess."
Back in Dongchen, her mother instructed her to be a well-educated and sensible princess, her father told her to be an obedient princess, and her elder brother told her to be a princess who could help him.
No one told her that she could be herself, that she could have fun, and that she could do whatever she wanted.
Women can also work for the well-being of the people and make outstanding contributions.
After getting to know the Crown Princess, she realized that princesses could also be themselves.
The days she spent with them were the happiest times of her life; she wished she could stay by their side forever.
Shi Nuanyu patted Fule's little head and suggested, "Since you're all here today, let's have a barbecue in the yard."
Treasure's eyes gleamed with gold as she pulled Fule along to prepare the ingredients.
"Let's have barbecue, Princess Fule. Barbecue is so delicious, Treasure loves barbecue the most."
"Really? What does barbecue taste like?"
Watching the two little girls skip and hop away, Shi Nuanyu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Such an innocent and romantic age, how wonderful.
I've been in Beilin for a while now. The two countries have finished exchanging the treaty, and I have to set off back to Nanyue the day after tomorrow. I'll enjoy my last two days here.
"Arao, go and invite Changfeng and His Majesty to dinner tonight."
After all, now that he's become emperor, he can't be called by his name anymore, right?
"Yes, slaves obey."
A'Rao accepted the order and went, feeling somewhat worried. The Crown Prince of Beilin had ascended the throne; would he have a falling out with the Crown Princess? After all, what emperor in the world didn't have three palaces and six courtyards?
Watching A'Rao leave, Shi Nuanyu stood up and stretched, then turned her head and saw a man who had been standing at the gate of the courtyard for who knows how long.
Hua Lingyan gazed longingly with her almond-shaped eyes, looking travel-worn and much thinner.
Ah Ling.
Shi Nuanyu's body reacted faster than her mind; she ran over and hugged him tightly.
"Ah Ling, you've lost weight."
He had lost so much weight in just half a month.
Didn't you eat properly?
Hua Lingyan hugged her tightly, feeling wronged, and buried her head in her neck and shoulder, her voice choked with sobs.
"Sister, I can't leave A-Ling. A-Ling misses you so much."
During the two weeks he led troops at the border, he held the divorce papers every day, often pondering where he hadn't done enough, and why Nuannuan didn't want him anymore.
He's not afraid of hardship or fatigue, so why doesn't Nuannuan want him?
Shi Nuanyu looked up and kissed his cheek, stroking his thin face to coax him.
"Ah Ling, be good. I won't abandon Ah Ling, and I will never abandon Ah Ling again."
She kissed him again, feeling tenderness over his absence.
Hua Lingyan stared blankly, her eyes reddening, and rubbed her hand against hers.
"Sister, you mustn't lie to Ah Ling."
He could no longer bear the shock and just wanted to stay peacefully by her side.
"Hugging and cuddling, are you treating me like I don't exist?"
A disgruntled voice came from behind, where someone hadn't even tried leaning against the door, chewing on a foxtail grass and acting nonchalant.
Shi Nuanyu tried to turn to the side, but was held tightly, and had no choice but to call out to him from A Ling's arms.
"A-Shi, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in quickly."
Hearing that someone was finally paying attention to him, he didn't try to stride forward with pride, but instead gave a disdainful snort.
“If you don’t pay attention to this idiot, he’ll cry himself blind.”
He didn't believe the message from his subordinates. Whenever he had time, the simpleton would sit on the tree, clutching the divorce papers and weeping. The soldiers on the frontier laughed at him, but he would send them all away and continue crying on the tree. If it weren't for him sending the message, Hua Lingyan would still be crying on the tree right now.
Shi Nuanyu comforted him tenderly, cupping his face and kissing him several more times.
"Ah Ling, my sweetie, I'll stay with you tonight, okay?"
Who wouldn't be moved by a boy who only has himself in his heart and eyes?
Hua Lingyan blinked her big, watery eyes and pitifully made a promise.
"Sister keeps her word."
The woman standing to the side, who had never tried it, felt a pang of sadness. Different people have different fates. They were both husbands, but the little fool was treated gently, while he was beaten and kicked.
He stood quietly beside the two of them, his face puffed out, muttering to himself.
"Poisonous woman, you're being unfair."
Hua Lingyan blinked innocently, pretending not to hear what she had heard.
"What did you say?"
Shi Nuanyu leaned in to ask, but Hua Lingyan bit her earlobe, her voice trembling with grievance and tears, drawing all her attention back to the scene.
"Sister, Ah Ling feels so bad."
Seeing this, Wei Meng's face darkened, and he was so angry that he snorted coldly repeatedly.
"Hmph, you two can keep being lovey-dovey. I'm perfectly fine and very magnanimous."
He's furious! That idiot is actually playing the victim.
He even went so far as to send a message.
Shi Nuanyu was both amused and exasperated, and patted A Ling's waist.
"Alright, you're all tired, go wash up first, we'll have barbecue later."
I was exhausted from the long journey, and my clothes were covered in dust.
Hua Lingyan reluctantly let go, turning back to her room to wash up every few steps. She hadn't even tried to see him before, and her teeth were itching with desire. She couldn't resist giving him another blow.
"You idiot, I misjudged you."
Hua Lingyan reacted quickly, blocking with her fist, and the two of them ran to take a bath, exchanging punches and palm strikes.
Shi Nuanyu was overjoyed, watching the departing figure with great interest.
"It's over so quickly, and they're still bickering and playing around. That's nice."
Under Zhenbao's direction, the ingredients and charcoal were quickly prepared, and the courtyard was filled with all kinds of side dishes and meats.
Fule followed behind Zhenbao, grinning foolishly, curiously touching and exploring everything.
"Treasure, won't the meat burn when you grill it over charcoal?"
"No, the grilled meat is so fragrant, I guarantee you'll be drooling with oil."
Shi Nuanyu sat leisurely on the swing, eating a melon, with the azure sky above and a cool breeze blowing.
This kind of life is wonderful.
If Ah Yan were here, he would surely recite a few poems and tell some witty remarks.
Qinghe would probably be sipping tea and arguing with Changfeng, Fusheng would be reading medical books while sipping tea, and Ayu would be playing around with Ashi and Aling.
There are also the four sisters, Zhenbao, Fule, and Arao, as well as their father and mother. If only I could see my aunt again.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yu Changfeng stood at the entrance of the courtyard, gazing intently at the woman in the setting sun. The orange light shone down, making her seem like a goddess who had saved the world from suffering.
Being by her side makes me feel safe and secure; all my hardships and exhaustion disappear.
Nuannuan may not know that she has already saved countless people struggling in suffering.
As if bewitched, they approached step by step.
Yu Changfeng's narrow eyes were filled with laughter as he bent down and hugged her, their shoulders pressed tightly together.
"What are you thinking about?"
Shi Nuanyu leaned back and looked up to meet his smiling eyes.
"I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of all of you."
