C46 Take you on the spot

Shen Lingjue's broad chest was like a warm, windless harbor, causing her heart to throb.

His words echoed in her head over and over, washing over her heart like waves.

— Would you mind asking your heart for me?

Feng Ningyan stiffened in his embrace, and couldn't help but ask herself, does she really not mind?

The answer was revealed bit by bit, but she didn't even dare look at the tip of the iceberg.

"What right do I have to mind? You are a prince, you have power over me, and even if I were the real princess, I have no right to stop you. Furthermore, our marriage has no real name, and our marriage is only a pretense of alliance. "

"If Your Highness has someone you like, there's no need to hide it. "As long as you are willing to give me a piece of paper and a letter of departure, I am willing to give up my seat …"

Before she finished speaking, Shen Lingjue suddenly turned her body, lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The feeling of being struck by lightning instantly attacked Feng Ningyan's heart.

His thin lips seemed to possess a magic to absorb souls, causing her mind to suddenly go blank. She forgot to breathe, and she forgot to refuse.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally reacted and pushed him away. In a panic, she wiped away the faint fragrance he left behind on her lips as she panted like a fish out of water …

Shen Lingjue savored that deep kiss, and the corner of her mouth slanted upwards. Her fingertips hooked onto her chin, and then forced herself to look at her beautiful eyes.

"Remember, you are this king's wangfei. If you dare to ask for anything else like a letter of departure or say that you do not have the qualifications, This King will 'give you the proper method' and give you the qualifications."

He said the words "on the spot" until he gritted his teeth, and then slashed across Feng Ningyan's jade-like neck with his fingertips.

With such an ambiguous warning, she would definitely not think that there was any other meaning behind the misunderstanding.

"A warrior can be killed, but not humiliated!" Feng Ningyan trembled as she took a step back and tightly wrapped her collar.

Shen Lingjue laughed out loud. "This king likes to humiliate and then kill."

"Shen Lingjue! You. "Damn it all!"

Feng Ningyan stomped her feet in anger, her fingertips pointing at his nose, but she could not even find the words to curse him.

Shen Lingjue held onto her tender forefinger, smiled slyly, "Alright, this king should not be lying and teasing you. Come, have a meal with me."

Feng Ningyan fiercely retracted her hand: You're lying to tease me?

Shen Lingjue laughed bitterly: "Her family has unparalleled beauties, so why should I hide my charms in the outside world? Aren't you being a little too straightforward? You can even be calm when it comes to big matters, but why can't you even hear what I'm saying? "No wonder he's so jealous …"

Listening to him admitting that what he said just now was all a joke, Feng Ningyan thought back to his reaction just now and wished he could find a hole to hide in.

"Who says I'm jealous!" She was so angry that her legs had gone soft. She weakly retorted, but Shen Lingjue pulled her to the side of the table and sat her down.

He served her some food and wine, and seeing that she was gradually losing her temper, he sternly said, "Come, come, come. This prince has borrowed a flower to offer to the Buddha to ask for a favor from my consort."

Feng Ningyan drank a cup of wine and asked snappily: Is there anything else that your His Highness King Yu can't do in the capital?

"Of course." Shen Lingjue said mysteriously, "On the Double Sun Festival the day after tomorrow, accompany the empress dowager and the old woman to climb the red leaves and coax her into a happy mission. This king really wouldn't be able to do it without the help of Princess Consort."

Feng Ningyan looked at him in shock: "Your Highness forgot? Less than two days have passed since the emperor's ban. "

Shen Lingjue ate a mouthful of food and nodded her head in praise. "The empress dowager left the palace to go to Lingyun Mountain s in the suburbs of the capital. The day after tomorrow, we will go together. As long as we coax the empress dowager and have her elder protect you, royal father's ban will be lifted very quickly. "

"Really?!" Feng Ningyan just started to laugh, but started to worry again, "But I'm not good at getting along with the elders. If the empress dowager gets unhappy, then …"

"Random response. This King will be with you. You are only responsible for dressing up beautifully."

Shen Lingjue patted the back of her hand to reassure her.

It was good that he did not know about this. After knowing that he had to go reward Red Leaf, Feng Ningyan felt very pressured.

Leaving aside the numerous rules that the empress dowager and empress had to follow, just the royalty and nobles, as well as the concubine s, Feng Ningyan didn't recognize many of them. When the time came, he would not even know how to address them.

If not for Shen Lingjue saying that it was possible for the emperor to lift the ban on this trip, Feng Ningyan really wanted to say that she was sick.

The remaining day, Maid Xu came over and taught Feng Ningyan all of the court etiquette. Luckily she was extremely intelligent and had photographic memory, so he remembered everything.

Maid Xu was very satisfied. Early that morning, he brought a servant to carry a few sets of extremely plain palace clothing and personally comb Feng Ningyan's hair.

Feng Ningyan was a natural born beauty, Maid Xu felt that makeup was unnecessary and only brushed a little bit of rouge on her face to make it look better.

The pale-green brocade palace uniform was covered by a silvery, billowing muslin dress; it was filled with an aura of immortality.

She wore only a few exquisite silver hair inlaid with jade, a simple silver forehead ornament, no earrings, no necklace, simple yet elegant and fresh.

Maid Xu let Feng Ningyan walk in a circle before smiling in satisfaction. "Alright, Princess Hua-Yang is ready. Go, the Prince is waiting for you in the carriage outside."

Feng Ningyan also really liked this simple and uncomplicated outfit. She couldn't help but be in a good mood, so she thanked Maid Xu, lifted her skirt, and ran downstairs.

Just as she walked down the stairs, she saw Shen Lingjue approaching the Linlang Pavilion's door to pick her up.

He held Feng Ningyan's hand and sized her up as they walked.

Under the reflection of the light from the outside, Feng Ningyan's quiet face looked very gentle and attractive.

Shen Lingjue watched in a daze, then suddenly thought of something and carefully took out a set of silver hairpin s from her sleeves.

He gently put the silver hairpin on her hair. It was even gentler and more cherishing than when he first saw her.

Feng Ningyan could not help but turn her head when she felt the coldness of the silver hairpin, and her face touched the hand that Shen Lingjue was just about to put down.

His hand was always so dry and warm that it warmed her heart.

"What, has His Highness taken a fancy to the thing on my head again?"

She glanced at him, touching the hair ornament on her head, but found nothing missing, instead there was an additional silver hairpin on her hair.

The "steadfast" hairpin.

Shen Lingjue smiled as he tidied up the hair at the sides of her temples. "It's so simple and elegant that it won't tarnish her peerless appearance …"

Hearing this "puchi", Feng Ningyan laughed, "Since Your Highness has praised me like this, in the future, I won't dare to dress up. This will at least save me tens of thousands of silver, your highness …"

"Haha …" "You tricky girl!" Shen Lingjue helplessly poked her on the forehead, "You can't slander this king."

Someone not far away noticed the two's intimate laughter.

Hua Ruoyu walked over from another path, lowered her head, and hid the jealousy in her eyes.

She was still dressed extravagantly, but when she walked towards Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan, she respectfully bowed.

"Ruo Yu greets the Duke and Princess."
