Seeing Lu Junyuan enter, Yuening quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Prince Consort, please sit down. I had them make your favorite crispy duck, lotus root balls, and lily almond soup. Please come and have a taste."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lu Junyuan's eyes. This Yue Ning really had too many male concubines and had gotten them all mixed up.
He doesn't like to eat duck meat, and he has been allergic to almonds since childhood; if he eats them, he will break out in rashes all over his body.
"Thank you, Princess." Lu Junyuan didn't say much and sat down opposite Yue Ning.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Yuening's eyes. What kind of married couple sits so far apart while having a meal?
She rose and sat down next to Lu Junyuan, pouring him a glass of wine. "Your Highness, how is your father-in-law's health?"
"I caught a cold, and I'll be fine after a few days of rest. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
“That’s good. I’ll have someone send some tonics to my father-in-law later. My husband, we’ve been married for so many days now, but I’ve been so weak. The imperial physician came to see me today and said I’m much better now. Why don’t you stay here today?”
Yuening spoke softly, her eyes filled with seductive allure as she looked at Lu Junyuan.
Lu Junyuan looked at Mu Hua, who was serving beside him, and asked, "Which imperial physician came to take the princess's pulse today?"
Mu Hua bowed and replied, "Your Highness, it was Physician Zhang who came to take the princess's pulse today."
Upon hearing this, Lu Junyuan smiled and looked at Yuening, his eyes full of tenderness. "Yuening, I'm actually more anxious than you are. When I returned to the Prime Minister's residence today, my father asked about this matter. He hopes to hold our Lu family's eldest grandson as soon as possible."
I specifically consulted with Dr. Bao about this matter. Dr. Bao said that after your last cold, your body is still a bit weak, and you should rest well for the next month.
Physician Zhang's medical skills are nowhere near those of Imperial Physician Bao. Let's listen to Imperial Physician Bao. You can rest for a few more days; a month will pass quickly."
Upon hearing this, Yuening cursed the Imperial Physician in her heart, her face showing some resentment. "My lord, it's all my fault. Consider this cup of wine my apology to you. Please bear with it for a few more days."
After saying that, she drank the wine in her hand and looked at Lu Junyuan with a guilty expression.
Since Yuening had already brought it up, Lu Junyuan naturally couldn't say anything, so he could only pick up his wine glass and take a sip.
Seeing that Lu Junyuan had drunk the wine, Yuening smiled and picked up her chopsticks to put some food on Lu Junyuan's plate, saying, "Please try some, Your Highness."
After finishing the meal, Lu Junyuan took his leave and returned to his study. Yuening did not stop him at all, only instructing the servants to take good care of the prince consort.
Upon entering the mansion, Lu Junyuan tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. For some reason, his mind was filled with Yue Ning's smiling face from earlier that day.
It looks so... captivating.
The woman I used to hate so much, now seems so charming in every smile and gesture.
Lu Junyuan even recalled the pleasant scent of Yue Ning when she sat beside him, which made him involuntarily want to hold her in his arms and cherish her.
What's wrong with me?
Lu Junyuan shook his head violently, as if trying to shake off this absurd idea from his mind.
How could he possibly care about that licentious woman?
Lu Junyuan got up and had his servant splash cold water on his face. He buried his face in the water, trying to clear his head.
But when he looked up at his reflection in the basin, it slowly turned into Yuening's smiling face.
He slowly raised his hand, as if touching some precious treasure, and carefully reached out to Yue Ning in the basin, his face filled with deep affection.
Lu Junyuan felt that at this moment, Yuening had become the woman he cherished most.
No, that's not how it works!
Another voice popped into Lu Junyuan's head: She's the woman you hate the most, how could you possibly have feelings for her!
Lu Junyuan shook his head again. Yes, didn't he hate Yue Ning the most?
What's wrong with me?
A sliver of reason told Lu Junyuan that something must have gone wrong.
Yes, the wine, that glass of wine, and the food!
