Chapter 369 The Wife Given Away by Her Husband 7 (Bonus Chapter 2 for Donations)

The King of Yue picked up the teacup in front of Ning Yan and took a sip. Although it was not as good as the tribute tea in the palace, it was still quite delicious.

He glanced up at the beautiful woman in front of him, perhaps feeling more relaxed at home.

She wore a scarlet silk dress with a jade belt about the width of a palm around her waist.

Her hair was loosely tied into a bun and simply secured with a jade hairpin. It was an extremely simple outfit, yet it was stunningly beautiful.

Every time he saw this woman, she gave him a different feeling, making him increasingly anxious to marry her as soon as possible.

"I heard that Rui'er has arrived. Is there something he needs?"

Ning Yan: ...Goodness, that tone, it's full of fatherly vibes. And Rui'er, is he really planning to be a good stepfather?

"It's nothing, don't worry about it, it's none of your business."

"How could this be unrelated to me? You are my future queen consort. If something happens to Rui'er, it will definitely affect your mood. If you are in a bad mood, don't I have to comfort you?"

Ning Yan fell silent. This man was so self-aware; they weren't even married yet, and he was already thinking about how to coax her.

"It's alright, it doesn't matter if you don't want to talk about it, I'll just ask your maid."

"Ji Liang, go and ask."

Ning Yan looked up and glared at him. "If Rui'er wanted to ask you to let his father stay in the capital, would you even care?"

The King of Yue frowned. "If that's what you're thinking, then it's not impossible."

Ning Yan: She doesn't want to.

What kind of person is someone who would trade his wife for his official career?

Ning Yan didn't want to see that bastard Mao Renyi again at all.

The King of Yue saw her answer in her expression. This woman was somewhat ruthless; she could easily abandon the man she had lived with for more than ten years.

But he was happy, which meant that Ning Yan no longer had a place for her ex-husband in her heart.

"How about I put him in the Ministry of Revenue?"

Ning Yan immediately bristled like a lion, her chest puffed out, "You dare?!"

The King of Yue chuckled softly, "So you didn't want to? You should have said so earlier."

Ning Yan turned her head. This person was so annoying. He had said that on purpose just now. In fact, he disliked Mao Renyi even more than she did.

The King of Yue deliberately moved to sit next to Ning Yan. Ning Yan tried to get up, but the man grabbed her wrist.

His gaze fell on the book Ning Yan had casually placed on the table. The book was face down, and the title was blatantly exposed to him: "My Little Master Above".

King Yue was very curious about what secret this book held that could make the young woman so happy.

"I heard you received quite a few posts?"

Ning Yan: "How many people did you send to watch over my house?"

The King of Yue picked up his prayer beads again and replied without changing his expression, "Not many, just twenty or thirty. Once you marry into the King of Yue's mansion, you won't need to go through so much trouble."

Those who invite you to banquets, you can go if you want, or not if you don't. No one will dare to make things difficult for you.

"Of course they won't make things difficult for me; they'll just talk about me behind my back."

The King of Yue chuckled again, "That only shows how jealous they are of you."

Because they can't have you, they want you.

Ning Yan: ...Although what he said was true, he's so narcissistic!

"Your Highness, it's getting late, you should go."

The King of Yue stopped laughing and grasped the delicate hand that was on the table. The hand was so soft; he wanted to hold it forever.

The prayer beads in her other hand spun rapidly, but the thoughts in her mind were no longer Buddhist scriptures; instead, they were…

"Yan Niang, please give me a kiss."

Ning Yan was stunned, staring blankly at the King of Yue: Man, do you want to listen to what you're saying?

The King of Yue's Adam's apple bobbed, and he suddenly bent down, "I'll do it myself."

Press down and kiss.

The prayer beads made a crisp sound as they hit the ground. Ning Yan's hand, which had initially been pushing away, was now held tightly, and her body was pulled into the man's embrace. The candles in the room crackled, as if unable to adapt to the sudden increase in temperature.

After a long while, the King of Yue finally released his lips, panting heavily.

Ning Yan was annoyed and quickly got up and backed away, afraid that if she was too slow, she would be caught by the King of Yue again.

She could see clearly that the King of Yue's eyes clearly said three words: He wanted more.

"Your Highness, you'd better leave quickly, or I'll call for help."

King Yue knew he had overstepped his bounds today and might have frightened her. Even though his desires were raging, he obediently got up and left with his entourage.

After he left, Ning Yan discovered that her storybook was missing...

...

On the way back to the Yue King's Palace, the Yue King finally learned what Mao Rui had come for.

"It seems that the boy has some brains. Make arrangements for him tomorrow. After all, he is my half-son, and I still hope that he can be successful."

Ji Liang: "Yes, Your Highness."

Upon returning to the Prince's residence, the Prince of Yue went straight to his study. As soon as he entered, a servant reported, "Your Highness, the young princess brought you chicken soup earlier, but she was a little unhappy when she left because you weren't in the study."

King Yue frowned. Why would Xuan'er suddenly come to bring him chicken soup?

Thinking of that person, he turned on his toes and went to the backyard.

Outside Biyun Courtyard.

Two carp lanterns hang high.

The two rough-looking old women guarding the gate were about to report when the prince arrived, but the prince stopped them, saying, "No need to report."

After saying that, she turned around and gave Shu Ming a look.

Shu Ming naturally stayed outside, keeping an eye on the two old women to prevent them from making a sound.

In the courtyard.

Two female voices are talking.

“My princess, you’re not happy that I asked you to deliver a soup to the prince. Don’t you think about it? The prince has been abstinent for so many years, why would he suddenly want to get married?”

That woman is clearly quite capable!

Once someone like that enters the manor, with a few words from her pillow, how can the prince still care about you?

Most importantly, she's only thirty. Who knows, once she enters the palace, she might have several children for your father. Then you won't be your father's only child anymore. Will your father still dote on you like this?

In the future, everything in this mansion will belong to others and will have nothing to do with you!

"Then what am I supposed to do, Aunt? My Imperial Uncle has already issued the decree for the marriage. I can't possibly ask him to retract the decree, can I?"

"That's easy, all we need to do is..."

"Just what?"

"Once your aunt becomes your father's woman, she will definitely speak up for you in the future."

King Yue was disgusted by Xiang Zizi's words and wished he could go in and beat her to death right now.

But he couldn't. He turned and left the courtyard, silencing the two old women, and then quickly led Shu Ming back to his study.

"Go and prepare a copy of the portraits of eligible men in the capital for me. It's time to start preparing for Xuan'er's marriage."

He originally thought that since she was his only daughter, he wanted to keep her by his side for as long as possible. He figured it wouldn't be too late for her to get married at seventeen or eighteen, and she could still have time to choose a suitable man.

But looking back now, it seems that once a daughter grows up, she can't stay at home; trying to keep her only leads to enmity.

You should get married as soon as possible.

Shu Ming hesitated for a moment, "Your Highness, shouldn't the princess's marriage be left to the future princess?"
