Chapter 66.1

Yaoniang stayed in the West Chamber for a while, then went back to her room.

After entering the bedroom, she saw that Jin Wang was still asleep, so she took off her shoes and went to the couch. Sitting there, she looked at Jin Wang and wondered what to say later.

As she thought about it, Jin Wang opened his eyes.

"Your Highness is awake? Would you like any tea?"

Once she said that Yaoniang got off the couch and went to make tea. Then she brought it over and served Jin Wang to drink. Jin Wang drank a few sips of tea then glanced at Yaoniang who wore an uneasy expression.

The little nanny was rarely so attentive.

Over these last couple of days, Jin Wang also got to know Yaoniang a bit better. Although she was working as a servant now, it was unlikely that she was born from a decent servant family. The way she served others wasn’t always appropriate, and could even be said as careless. Sometimes, she didn’t even respond when he asked her to do something. But Jin Wang has been served by others since young, and there was no shortage of people to serve him. He was merely surprised by the attentiveness of the little nanny today.

He sat there drinking tea and admiring the expression on her face. At the same time, he felt unbearable inside seeing her like this. She really couldn’t hide anything. If he didn't protect her, who knows how she would be bullied to death?

"Your Highness, I want to ask you for something…"

Jin Wang raised his eyebrows.

"This concubine wants to set up a small kitchen in the courtyard…" 

She seemed to be aware that this request was a bit over the top. Even though Yaoniang had already mentally prepared herself, her words still couldn’t be spoken smoothly. One must know that in this backyard, only the consort’s Siyi Courtyard, has a small kitchen. Not even the side consorts have a small kitchen, what more a little concubine like her?

Jin Wang waited for her to continue speaking to see what reason she could come up with.

Yaoniang continued to speak because she desperately wanted to convince Jin Wang. "Although this concubine was born from a commoner family, this concubine’s stomach isn’t very good, so cold and hard food must be avoided. The main kitchen is also far away from Rongxi Courtyard. If the food was brought over from the big kitchen, this concubine could only eat cold food every meal. If the food was eaten cold, this concubine would feel uncomfortable. If this concubine didn’t feel well, how could this concubine serve you…"

"And this concubine seemed to have offended many people already. If they wanted to deal with the concubine, they could put some laxatives into this concubine's meals…" She did not dare to say poison. This word, poison, was considered to be taboo, and the person in charge of the backyard was the consort. Mentioning it would be to question the consort’s management ability. Up till now, Yaoniang still hadn't figured out the status of Consort Jin in Jin Wang's mind, so she naturally dared not offend her.

Jin Wang looked at her with a look of ‘continue spouting your excuses'.

However, Yaoniang felt more and more guilty as she spoke. She was also embarrassed by Jin Wang’s look and couldn't help but ask, “Then do you agree or not?" 

Jin Wang handed her the teacup and drawled, "If you please this prince, this prince will grant you your wish.”

Yaoniang didn't dare to hope and was even a bit discouraged. Once she heard this, she immediately became energetic and looked at him carefully. Seeing that he didn't seem to be making fun of her, she set the teacup on the small bedside table and moved back towards him.

Please? How to please?

There was a flash in Yaoniang's mind, and she somehow thought of the shameful things he would force her to say every time, but…

Jin Wang looked down and watched her sitting there blushing, thinking how to please him. That look of hers was too charming and he couldn't help but want to tell her that he had already arranged for this matter a long time ago. He estimated that someone would get it done by this afternoon, but he also wanted to see what she could come up with to please him.

While he was deep in his thoughts, she had snuggled up to his chest. Tender and soft, she exhaled and said, "Good brother, I knew you were the best…" 

Hong Chou heard some movement inside and was about to go in and serve.

Hearing such a sentence before entering the door, she immediately retreated, blushing.

She didn't expect that although Madam looked so honest, she would say something like this…

…

Jin Wang squinted his eyes and stared at her, and there was a flash of embarrassment in his dark eyes.

Yaoniang didn't dare to look at him, but her heart was pounding.

He suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist with great strength and crushed his thin lips against her mouth. His large palm rubbed heavily against her thin waist before letting go of her then climbing down the bed. He called for someone to come in to help him dress.

Yaoniang didn't expect this kind of reaction from Jin Wang, and she was too embarrassed to even raise her head.

Jin Wang put on his clothes and left.

Once Jin Wang was out, Fucheng emerged from nowhere and followed him.

When passing by the West Chamber, Jin Wang paused his footsteps. After a brief hesitation, he turned towards the West Chamber.

Fucheng hesitated and stopped behind him, but didn’t say anything.

In the West Chamber, Xiaobao had just finished eating and was sitting on the couch playing catch with Ah Xia out of boredom.

Seeing Jin Wang walk in, his eyes lit up and he looked over automatically.

Ah Xia was still teasing him, "Little young master, throw the ball to this servant…"

Seeing Xiaobao ignore her, only then did she look behind her and react.

"Your Highness!"

Ah Xia hurriedly got off the couch and bowed her knees to salute.

Jin Wang ignored her and only looked at Xiaobao who was on the couch.

This was the first time for Jin Wang to take a serious look at this little brat.

The brat had a good appearance, and he could see that he would become a handsome man in the future. The son of a street vendor could actually look like this. Jin Wang couldn't help but wonder if the vendor was very handsome.

Because from his point of view, this little bastard didn't look like her, so he must resemble that vendor whose bones were probably rotten by now.

Seeing that there was something wrong with His Highness's expression, Fucheng waved his hand to let Ah Xia, who was standing to the side, retreat.

Jin Wang stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the couch, looking at Xiaobao with dark eyes.

Of course, Xiaobao could see that his father's expression was weird, so he looked at him with some caution.

Jin Wang stretched out his hand.

Fucheng couldn't help but yell, "Your Highness…"

Jin Wang glanced back at him then put his hand on Xiaobao's face. Using his thin finger that had the sapphire ring on it, he stroked his face. He hummed inexplicably and said, "She loves you very much."

Xiaobao was still pondering over what he meant when Jin Wang turned and left.

As he was leaving the room, he saw Ah Xia. Glancing at the other person indifferently he said, "You are not allowed to say anything to her."

Ah Xia was worried, but she bowed her head and replied, "Yes."

Even after Jin Wang's back was far away, she was still terrified.
