Chapter 22: Natural Charm



In the evening, Ling Shumo, who had been reading memorials in the study all day, was preparing to go to Yuehua Palace as usual.

Then an attendant came in and said, "The virtuous prince is waiting outside. He said he has prepared lotus seed and osmanthus soup and is about to serve it to you."

It was not until then that Ling Shumo remembered Lu Jinshu.

On her wedding night with Lu Jinshu, she was completely drunk, and the two of them just slept under the quilt. Lu Jinshu is still a virgin.

She had originally planned to have sex with Lu Jinshu after returning to the East Palace, but after looking at Xue Wu's captivating face every day, she completely forgot about Lu Jinshu.

Lu Jinshu changed out of his old-fashioned dark green robe. Today he wore a long waisted dress with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, which perfectly outlined the lines of the man's body.

But Ling Shumo had no interest in Lu Jinshu himself. Her attention was completely focused on the bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup.

She didn't feel anything when she was working at her desk, but now that she was free, she realized that her stomach had been empty for a long time.

The soup is delicious, and the sticky gelatinous substance of the Tremella has been completely boiled out.

Ling Shumo no longer remembered what they did on their wedding day, but after drinking a bowl of soup like this, her taste buds were suddenly awakened.

She immediately thought of glutinous rice stuffed duck, candied yam, five-flavor apricot soup, lotus root and eggplant.

Lu Jinshu also cooked other dishes that morning, filling up the table, but she ate too much of the first few dishes, so she only looked at the ones after that, not even knowing whether they were salty or sweet.

Lu Jinshu smiled and said, "I personally cooked the dishes today. I wonder if Your Highness has time to come over and keep me company?"

Ling Shumo had exactly this in mind.

Lu Jinshu took down a white fur coat made of snow fox fur from the shelf, and then carefully arranged the clothes for Ling Shumo.

Ling Shumo walked in front, and he slowed down half a step and followed beside Ling Shumo.

Lu Jinshu's left hand caressed the soft silk dress he was wearing. He had spent a long time choosing the right outfit, but His Highness only glanced at it briefly.

However, this was within his expectations.

With a beauty like Xue Wu in front of him, if he were also a woman, he would probably not be able to tolerate anyone else in his eyes.

In the capital, it seems that only Fu Yichen, the eldest son of the Prime Minister, can compare to Xue Wu in terms of appearance.

But this Young Master Fu is already engaged to the eldest princess Ling Shujiao.

Unless a man who is extremely jealous and has such a high status that even Her Highness the Princess has to consider his feelings and coax him, Xue Wu will probably remain in favor for a long time.

Lu Jinshu's thoughts were scattered in his mind. He didn't know yet that what he said was about to come true.

Ling Shumo and Lu Jinshu walked to Chenyou Palace as if they were strolling in the garden.

Jiufu lifted the cover on the dishes to keep them warm.

The aroma that hit Ling Shumo in the face made her feel refreshed. The dishes on the table tasted just as good as it, and were as eye-catching as works of art.

Lu Jinshu stood up to serve the dishes to Ling Shumo.

Ling Shumo pushed him down on the seat next to her and said, "Sit down. There are so many servants here who are idle and don't need your service."

Ling Shumo just said this politely, and then she showed Lu Jinshu what it meant to sweep away everything in an instant.

Lu Jinshu originally wanted to take advantage of the meal time to chat with Ling Shumo, but Ling Shumo's mouth was full and he temporarily lost the ability to speak.

Lu Jinshu ate his meal absentmindedly, picking up food with chopsticks intermittently.

Rather than the food on the table that could be eaten at any time, he focused more of his attention on Ling Shumo.

In just this short meal, he had already figured out whether Ling Shumo preferred salty or sweet food.

People tend to feel sleepy after eating.

After Xue Wu had been in the emperor's bedchamber for a month and a half, his favor was finally interrupted by Lu Jinshu.

After dinner, it’s not time to go to bed yet.

Jiufu brought a jade pipa carved with snowflake patterns.

Lu Jinshu asked, "Your Highness, would you like to hear me play a few songs?"

Ling Shumo nodded, and for some reason, the image of Xue Wu playing the guqin in the carriage emerged in her mind. Such a beautiful and elegant piece of music, just like Xue Wu himself, was so cold and noble that people dared not invade.

Lu Jinshu's fingers lightly plucked the white strings. The first part of the music was normal until he sang softly along with the melody. The voice that was gentle at the beginning gradually moved towards a charming tone.

Lu Jinshu's originally loose clothes slipped down, half exposing her beautiful shoulders. The plum blossoms embroidered on her bright red inner garment seemed to come alive, swaying slowly with the intoxicating song.

Ling Shumo straightened her back.

Four words suddenly emerged in her mind - "obscene lyrics and music".

Lu Jinshu's singing voice still echoed in the house.

The stitching on his robe was rigorous and detailed, but his face no longer had the usual dignity.

His current temperament and the decadent atmosphere in the house are almost integrated.

Ling Shumo's gaze fell on Lu Jinshu's inner garment, which was in even greater danger.

Ling Shumo had walked in front of Lu Jinshu without him knowing. Her hand gently rested on the snowflake carvings of the pipa. The pipa shook slightly due to the force of her hand. Lu Jinshu plucked the next string wrongly, and the melodious sound of the pipa and his singing stopped at the same time.

Because Ling Shumo had already leaned over and kissed his lips.

The charcoal fire in the house seemed to be burning even more vigorously.
