Chapter 94: Wedding Box Brings Back the Nostalgia
The aftermath of the "battle robe" storm in Fengyi Palace caused a huge storm that night.
As night falls, everything is silent.
After Emperor Nangong Yu finished dealing with the mountain of memorials (his efficiency was unprecedentedly high), he stepped briskly into Fengyi Palace.
He dismissed all the palace servants and stared at his queen with burning eyes. That look reminded Dongfang Qiwu of the golden nanmu box during the day, and his cheeks began to heat up uncontrollably.
"Wu'er..."
Nangong Yu's voice had a barely perceptible hoarseness and... anticipation?
"The box...that Ning'er gave you..."
He deliberately dragged out his tone and glanced towards the depths of the bedroom.
Dongfang Qiwu forced himself to remain calm, his eyes slightly furious:
"Your Majesty! Ning'er is acting recklessly, and you're following suit? That...that's disgraceful!"
Having said that, the blush on her ears betrayed her.
"Property?"
Nangong Yu chuckled softly, took a step forward, and his warm breath brushed past her ears.
"What's the point of being polite in front of my queen? I... just want to see Ning'er's feelings. Wu'er, aren't you curious?"
Under the Emperor's "persuasion with reason and appeal to his emotions" (mainly relying on beauty and persuasion), Dongfang Qiwu finally opened the Pandora's box reluctantly.
When the Phoenix Nirvana Charioteer Armor and the bottle of fragrant Rejuvenating Essence Cream reappeared in the light of day, the temperature in the bedroom instantly soared!
The next morning, System 118 broadcast a message in Dongfang Yuning's mind:
[Beep! Abnormal energy fluctuations in Fengyi Palace last night! Water element consumption: 300% exceeded the standard! Sound wave frequency: Continuously high frequency! Duration: Far beyond normal!]
Preliminary Verdict: The 'Phoenix Nirvana Battle Robe' + 'Revitalizing Essence Cream' combination is exceptionally effective! His Majesty the Emperor... is vigorous and powerful! Her Majesty the Empress... is radiant! Host, your product's power is truly terrifying!]
Dongfang Yuning was eating grapes peeled by Nangong Ye. He almost choked when he heard this. In his heart, he put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly:
[Wahahaha! That's right! Anything produced by this princess must be top-notch! My sister said it's great after using it! My brother-in-law's feedback is... pretty intense!]
It seems the "whoosh" effect has been achieved! Yueji Pavilion's "Phoenix Series" can be put on the mass production schedule! Pricing? Doubled!
The next day, the Golden Palace.
Early morning.
Emperor Nangong Yu, sitting on the dragon throne, was still naturally majestic, but under his deep eyes, there was a rare hint of faint green shadow.
More importantly, the eunuch on duty keenly noticed that when His Majesty sat down, his movements seemed... a little bit stiff and slow, which was barely noticeable?
Even while listening to a lengthy report on the river, His Majesty rubbed his lower back almost imperceptibly...?
Swish!
All the civil and military officials in the court, especially those core officials of Yan State who could "hear" Princess Fuxing's inner voice, lowered their heads instantly!
Eyes on the nose, nose on the heart, breathing lightens! Every shoulder shrugged slightly, barely perceptible, using all the strength in life to suppress laughter! Inner comments were madly flooding the screen:
[Here it comes! The aftereffects of the Fuxing Princess brand 'Revitalizing Essence Cream'! Your Majesty's waist... It seems the battle last night was extremely intense! The battle robe is magnificent! (→_→)]
[Hiss… Listen to the princess's thoughts, that battle robe has less than 10% of its fabric? Her Majesty is mighty! Your Majesty… thank you for your hard work!]
[Thigh roots! Quickly pinch them! Don't laugh! If you laugh, I'll kill all of your clan! Ouch...it hurts! But the melon is so delicious!]
For a moment, the court was eerily quiet, with only the intermittent, suppressed gasps like leaking air.
Nangong Yu was incredibly perceptive, and he immediately noticed the strange atmosphere below and the twitching corners of their mouths. His handsome face darkened, and his stern gaze swept over, carrying an invisible pressure:
"My Lords... do you have a memorial?"
"Your servants... your servants have no foundation!"
All the ministers bowed in unison and lowered their heads even lower, fearing that His Majesty would see their distorted expressions.
At this moment, Princess Fuxing Dongfang Yuning, who was sitting on her exclusive little stool next to the imperial steps and playing with the Xuanji Bell out of boredom, and her system 118, started a new round of close combat!
System 118 real-time scan: [Ding! Target Nangong Yu's vital signs: Lumbar muscle strain index +50%, mental excitement +30%, kidney energy... strong! Host, your brother-in-law's feedback is very real!]
Dongfang Yuning held his cheek, looked at his brother-in-law's slightly stiff sitting posture, and complained in his heart:
[Tsk tsk tsk, my brother-in-law's physical condition is not good! He strained his lumbar muscles after just one night? It seems he doesn't get enough exercise!
Is it a sin that the rejuvenating cream is too potent? Tong, next time you give my sister the recipe, could you add some warming and nourishing herbs to give my brother-in-law some extra energy? Don't let him really strain his back, or it'll be a disaster for the government!
System 118 is serious:
[Lots! Recommended! You can add a small amount of Millennium Cistanche deserticola extract to warm the kidney yang, strengthen the tendons and bones, and achieve sustainable development during the honeymoon period!]
Dongfang Yuning's eyes lit up:
[Great idea! Let's call it the Brother-in-Law-Friendly Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Cream! Double the price! Hahahaha!]
In the Golden Palace, the important officials who could hear the inner voices:
“…”
The ministers were thinking madly:
[Princess Fuxing! Please be a human being! His Majesty's face has turned green! Endurance cream? Double the price? You're trying to squeeze His Majesty to death!]
The hand pinching the thigh increased its strength by another three points! The bruise continued to expand!
Nangong Yu sat on the dragon throne and clearly "heard" his sister-in-law's thoughtful advice and his brother-in-law's complaints. The veins on his forehead jumped happily.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to take the little bastard out and spank him, and roared in his heart:
[Dongfang Yuning! You little bastard! Can't you find someone else to fleece?! You have to be targeting your brother-in-law, right? Endurance cream? I think you want to see me off!]
He rubbed her waist with more force.
After the minor incident in the court became a major incident for the emperor, the days flew by in busyness and anticipation.
Under the painstaking efforts of the black-hearted fox Chen Xiaoyun, who was mainly exploited by his aunt, and the strict supervision of the "two generals" - the fifth prince Nangong Yijun and the sixth prince Nangong Lintian, who were mainly preventing Fox Chen from turning the hospital into a commercial CBD, the Huimin Hospital that Princess Fuxing had been thinking about finally had its completion ceremony!
The brand new hospital building complex rises from the ground, with white walls, green tiles, clean windows and a reasonable layout, integrating Oriental Yuning's concept of transcending the times, bright lighting, independent wards and clean water system.
Although Shen Xiaoyun was tired and thin, looking at the result of his hard work and forced whitewashing, a rare look of sincere relief and accomplishment appeared in the fox's eyes.
Of course, when he thought that this hospital could bring him his little phoenix, what did this little bit of tiredness matter?
System 118 Scan Hospital:
[Ding! The vixen's whitewashing project has passed the acceptance inspection! Social contribution value +10086! The stability of your relationship with Nangong Yue +999! Host, your plan of moving bricks in exchange for a wife has been a complete success!]
Dongfang Yuning stood in front of the main building of the hospital, with his hands on his hips, proudly saying:
[That's right! This princess has killed two birds with one stone! Not only has it benefited the people, but she's also found Yueyue a reliable (temporary) husband! Fox Shen, work hard, and from now on, the hospital's medicinal material procurement... hehe, the fat water should stay in the fields of outsiders!]
At the same time, preparations for the wedding of Princess Nangong Yue and Marquis Xuanping's son Shen Xiaoyun have entered the final stage in full swing!
The entire capital was decorated with lights and colors, and was filled with joy. The Princess's Mansion and the Marquis's Mansion were decorated with magnificent beauty and the utmost luxury. Shen Xiaoyun said: For the little phoenix, it is worth losing everything!
All staff from the Imperial Household Department, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Clan Affairs worked at high speed to ensure that this belated wedding would be perfect.
The eldest princess's bedroom was filled with various dowries and gifts.
Nangong Yue sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a smile on her face. Her heart felt as if it were soaked in honey, with a hint of shyness and nervousness as she was about to become a wife.
She stroked the gorgeous wedding dress on her body, which was embroidered with a pattern of birds paying homage to the phoenix with gold and silver threads by hundreds of top embroiderers who had spent several months on it, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
However, her thoughts kept drifting to the golden nanmu box in Fengyi Palace... the "Glittering Stars" battle robe... and the sweet jar of "Twin Flowers - Worry-Free Cream"...
Nangong Yue's inner thoughts:
[Auntie…really…that battle robe…is so…humiliating! But…when Chen Xiaoyun saw it…(cheeks blush) Can the Worry-Free Ointment…really…pain-free? I’m so nervous…and so excited…]
She faced the mirror and secretly practiced a few expressions she learned from the "Newlyweds' Guide", which she thought were very "charming" but were actually very cute, and she made herself laugh.
System 118 simultaneously broadcast Nangong Yue's practice in front of the mirror in Dongfang Yuning's mind:
[Ding! The target Nangong Yue pure and lustful expression pack is loading... Loading failed... Automatically switching to 'silly, sweet and cute' mode!
Damage: Special attack against Shen Xiaoyun +100%! Host, your "Gift Book" may need to include a chapter on "Expression Management."
Dongfang Yuning is very happy:
[Being a little silly is better! Being a little silly is cute! Fox Shen loves this! This is called contrast cuteness! Yueyue, keep it up! On your wedding night, use your innocence to defeat his cunning!]
On the other side, the groom-to-be, Shen Xiaoyun, seemed to be walking on clouds, with the wind blowing even when he walked.
He wore a smile while handling official business, and was full of energy while inspecting the hospital construction site. Even when being picked on by the Fifth and Sixth Princes, the gate gods, he seemed exceptionally tolerant and even a little kind? It gave the twin princes goose bumps.
However, whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, or when he saw his aunt Dongfang Yuning's meaningful smile, a hint of subtle nervousness would always flash across Shen Xiaoyun's otherwise smug face. His hand would subconsciously touch his lower back.
Shen Xiaoyun's inner thoughts:
[Glittering Stars... Worry-Free Cream... Picture Guide... My aunt's gift package is quite substantial... Yue'er puts on that... (nosebleed warning)... Ahem, my waist... I need to ask the imperial physician for some warming and nourishing prescriptions... Or... ask my aunt for some 'brother-in-law-friendly endurance cream' in advance?]
For the upcoming wedding night, Fox Shen is filled with endless anticipation, sweet nervousness, and... a deep concern for the sustainability of his own hardware!
System 118 scans Shen Xiaoyun:
[Ding! Target Shen Xiaoyun's excitement level is MAX! Expectations are MAX! Lumbar muscle strain warning index: secretly rising!
Host, your wedding nuke has successfully planted the seeds of both happiness and sorrow in the target's heart!
Dongfang Yuning looked at the cheerful Chen Xiaoyun and smirked inwardly:
[Hehehe, Fox Shen, you're smiling so brightly now, but when the time comes... hehe! This princess has even thought of the formula for the Vixen's special waist-strengthening and kidney-strengthening pills!]
Yuejige Wedding Package·Groom's Extended Life Edition! Gold? Triple the value!
Yueji Pavilion: Wedding sets bring back memories!
And during this sweet countdown, the "Phoenix Nirvana·Husband-Controlling Gift Box" and the "Galaxy River Shine·Newly-Wedding Worry-Free Supreme Gift Box" launched by Yueji Pavilion were like two blockbuster bombs, exploding among the circles of wealthy ladies in Kyoto and even neighboring countries!
The sales were so hot that they far surpassed the Tiangongge auction! The feedback was also very positive!
Phoenix Gift Box User A (wife of a certain duke):
"It's amazing! My damned son looks at me like he did when we first got married! Rejuvenating cream? It lives up to its reputation!"
User B of the Galaxy Gift Box is the newly married young lady of the Marquisate:
"The battle robe is so beautiful! The Worry-Free Ointment...really...doesn't hurt at all! And...(blushing) my husband said it was like a dream! Princess Fuxing is a deity!"
What’s even more amazing is that many old couples who have been married for many years and whose passion has long faded also secretly bought gift boxes!
A certain old prince sneaked around:
"Give me a set of that Phoenix... ahem, let's reminisce about our youth..."
An old eunuch wearing a veil:
"That glittering star... and the worry-free ointment... wrap it up for me... back then... ah..."
For a time, "nostalgia" became the hottest topic in Kyoto's upper class! The threshold of Yueji Pavilion was almost broken down, and gold poured in like water!
Dongfang Linyuan looked at the terrifying figures in the account book and was so excited that he almost ate the golden abacus! Princess Nangong Yue counted the money until her hands cramped and she couldn't stop laughing.
System 118 Business Reporting Mode:
[Ding! The boudoir economy is booming! The spending power of nostalgia is astonishing! The repurchase rate for wedding gift sets (for memories) is as high as 35%!
Host, you have opened up a new wealth code! Suggestion: Launch a Golden Anniversary Edition and a Silver Anniversary Revisited Edition gift box!
Dongfang Yuning counted the gold bills, his eyes shining:
[Tong! You're truly my sweetheart! Let's do this! Let the memories of love... no, let the gold come even more powerfully!]
The Imperial Palace Garden.
Nangong Yue watched the palace servants busy arranging the colorful silks and lanterns for the wedding, her face filled with happiness. She quietly took Dongfang Yuning's hand, her voice filled with a hint of coquettishness and expectation:
"Auntie...thank you...that...that Worry-Free Ointment...is it really effective?"
Dongfang Yuning patted her hands, with an expression of "Aunt is relieved":
"Of course! When has your aunt ever lied to you? I guarantee you and Fox Shen... well... you'll be in perfect harmony and inseparable!"
She leaned close to Nangong Yue's ear, lowered her voice, and said slyly:
"If he dares to bully you, I, your aunt, have 108 fox-controlling secret techniques and waist-strengthening and kidney-strengthening pills waiting for him!"
Nangong Yue's face flushed red, and she stamped her feet coquettishly:
"Aunt~!"
But her heart felt as sweet as honey, filled with endless longing for the future and for her cunning yet affectionate fox husband.
The setting sun's afterglow shone on the palace walls, gilding everything in a warm golden glow. Inside and outside the palace, the atmosphere was bustling with activity and celebration. Huimin Hospital was about to open, the eldest princess's wedding was imminent, and Yueji Pavilion was raking in the cash.
And our lucky princess Dongfang Yuning is gearing up to continue writing her legendary life as a "walking gold mine" and "surprise (scare) maker" through her new wedding box business empire and gold mine (brother-in-law)!
Of course, she didn't know that the emperor, empress, and princess were secretly preparing for her "wedding gift"...
System 118 (sending a gloating alert):
[Ding! Host! High-energy warning ahead! The revenge of love from the royal family's top star is loading... Your Star River Light and Worry-Free Ointment... may also come in handy!]
Prince Yong seems...very excited to put your new theory into practice! 】
Dongfang Yuning shuddered suddenly, and looking at the deep gaze from Nangong Ye in the distance, his inner alarm bells started ringing:
[118! Shut up! I...I suddenly have a bad feeling! Why does that look in Brother Aye's eyes...make me feel like he wants to...eat me?]
