Chapter 147 Cloud Feather CP Gong Shangjiao 24

Gong Zishang hurriedly grabbed her clothes and ran out of the house; her appearance was too embarrassing.

Remembering that Zheng Nanyi and Gong Shangjiao were still inside, she turned back and covered her face with her sleeve. "Um, I'm a little unavailable to entertain guests right now."

Zheng Nanyi, being considerate, said, "It's getting late, Shang Jiao and I should head back to Jiao Palace."

Gong Zishang said with a smile, "By the way, you don't need to call me Palace Master Shang, just call me Sister Zishang."

“Okay, Sister Zishang.” Zheng Nanyi readily changed her form of address.

"Well... take care." Gong Zishang covered her face and slipped away, bumping into the door frame halfway because she couldn't see the door.

Zheng Nanyi called out worriedly, "Sister Zishang!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Having learned her lesson, Gong Zishang stopped covering her face and walked towards her room, clutching her dizzy head.

With the owners gone, Zheng Nanyi and Gong Shangjiao naturally wouldn't stay any longer.

Walking back to Jiaogong Palace, Gong Shangjiao said, "I did not mistake that guard just now."

Zheng Nanyi smiled and said, "I know, I could tell. Even the back of that guard exuded a sense of guilt."

Gong Shangjiao explained, "That's Young Master Hua from the Flower Palace in the back mountain. It's not appropriate to reveal too much. People from the back mountain can't go out, so I just went along with what he said and admitted I was wrong."

"Is Shangjiao afraid that if this gets out, Young Master Hua will be punished?"

Gong Shangjiao nodded, "Yes, Elder Hua has always been strict, and Young Master Hua has been confined to the back mountain. It's understandable that he wants to come out and have a look around."

Zheng Nanyi teased Gong Shangjiao with a smile, "You look cold, but you have a very soft heart."

"This only applies to those who work at the palace gates."

Gong Shangjiao does not deny that he is often more lenient towards people from the Gong family, but that is only towards people from the Gong family.

"We've arrived." Zheng Nanyi glanced at the dormitory room that was just a stone's throw away. "Then I'll head back."

“Mm,” Miyazaki replied.

Zheng Nanyi chuckled and lifted the hand that Gong Shangjiao had been holding tightly. "If you don't let go of me, how am I supposed to go back?"

Gong Shangjiao glanced at the two holding hands, but instead of letting go, he pulled the person into his arms and leaned down to kiss those alluring red lips.

Under the moonlight, their shadows overlapped, and the lantern Zheng Nanyi had been holding fell to the ground alone.

Their breaths mingled for a long time before they separated. Zheng Nanyi's body went limp, and she nestled in Gong Shangjiao's arms to catch her breath.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful Zheng Nanyi, Gong Shangjiao's eyes deepened slightly. "I'll tell Zhi Ren another day and have Jiao Gong prepare for the wedding."

Lady Wu Ji was merely his aunt from a distant relative; the fact that they married a month or two later was already out of consideration for her status as Lady Zhi Ren.

He proposed marriage, and Zhi Ren and the elders would all agree.

"good."

Days slip away silently, like fine sand flowing through your fingers.

The wedding date has been set, and everyone in the Horned Palace is busy preparing.

In Zheng Nanyi's room, Fu Dong helped Zheng Nanyi try on her wedding dress. The wedding dress was newly made and much better than the one she wore when she was chosen for the wedding.

Exquisite embroidery and vibrant red colors intertwine on the wedding dress, where a lifelike phoenix embroidered with gold thread appears ready to take flight.

Fu Dong: "Miss Zheng, is there anything that doesn't fit you?"

Zheng Nanyi walked around and tried it on. "It fits perfectly and doesn't need any alterations."

"That's good."

After trying it on, Zheng Nanyi took off her wedding dress and changed back into her original clothes. Lianqiu folded the wedding dress and put it away.
