It was late at night when Jiang Meiyu and Jiang Meilian returned to the Jiang Mansion. Master Jiang and Madam Jiang had already gone to bed, so they did not disturb their parents and went straight back to their respective courtyards.
After Jiang Meiyu washed up, she asked Keqing to rest as well, as they were all very tired after traveling all day. As soon as she lay down on the bed and turned off the lights, there was another person in the room.
"Who?" Jiang Meiyu sat up suddenly.
"It's me." Prince Gong walked straight to the bedside.
"It turns out that Prince Gong has this hobby, he likes to climb walls in the middle of the night." Jiang Meiyu couldn't help but sneer.
"Well...I just wanted to come and see you." Prince Gong's ears were red, but it was dark and hard to see.
"I've already seen it. Let's go. I want to rest!" Jiang Meiyu was so sleepy that she could hardly lift her eyelids. Her voice was weak. She just wanted to fall asleep quickly and didn't want to say another word.
Seeing that Jiang Meiyu was indeed very tired and didn't even have the strength to speak, Prince Gong touched her face distressedly and said gently: "Okay, then you should sleep well. I will stay here with you and leave after you fall asleep."
Jiang Meiyu nodded slightly, then closed her eyes. Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep with even breathing sounds.
Prince Gong quietly looked at Jiang Meiyu's sleeping face, his heart filled with love and pity. He gently stroked her hair, feeling her warmth. After a while, he also felt a little sleepy, so he lay down on his side beside Jiang Meiyu and carefully held her in his arms.
Sniffing the faint fragrance emanating from Jiang Meiyu's body, Prince Gong gradually fell asleep...
The next day, at dawn, the eastern sky gradually turned a faint red, as if nature was quietly nurturing a magnificent sunrise. Prince Gong had already quietly left, his figure disappearing in the predawn darkness.
In the blink of an eye, a brilliant red sun slowly rose from the horizon, like a giant pearl inlaid in the sky, radiating a dazzling light that illuminated the entire world. The sunlight filtered through the clouds, bathing the earth in a golden glow, and all things awakened, vibrant with life.
Jiang Meiyu slept until noon before lazily getting up. Ke Qing walked into the room with a basin of water and respectfully helped her wash and dress. Today, Jiang Meiyu was wearing a pink and purple floor-length dress, the hem of which flowed lightly like waves, showcasing her elegance and outstanding temperament.
After lunch, Jiang Meiyu went to Mrs. Jiang's yard in a good mood. As soon as she entered the yard, she happened to see Jiang Meilian there.
"Mom, Yu'er is here to pay her respects to you." Jiang Meiyu said softly with a sweet smile on her face.
Mrs. Jiang looked at her two daughters with a smile, her eyes full of relief and love: "You little girl, it's so late now, have you had lunch yet? Your sister is so sensible that she came to greet me early in the morning and even had lunch with me. You...! How long has it been since you had lunch with me?"
Although Madam Jiang complained, she tapped Jiang Meiyu's forehead lovingly. Jiang Meiyu said coquettishly, "Mother loves her the most and won't care about her mistakes. I'll have dinner with you and dad today. I think you'll be very satisfied, right?"
Madam Jiang gently stroked Jiang Meiyu's hair and said softly, "You are almost at the age of marriage. You really should learn from your sister. What if you are still like this when you get married? It's all because I spoiled you too much and made you so ignorant of etiquette..."
Jiang Meiyu lowered her head and said softly, "Mom, Yu'er understands. Yu'er will definitely correct herself and won't worry you anymore." After that, she glared at Jiang Meilian fiercely.
Jiang Meilian pretended to be surprised and said, "Sister, I never said anything bad about you in front of mother..."
Jiang Meiyu rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "This Jiang Meilian is getting more and more outrageous. She actually dares to act like this in front of me! When I have the chance in the future, I will teach her a lesson!" However, she did not say these words out loud. She just turned around and left silently.
"By the way, mother plans to hold a flower banquet in the mansion soon, inviting the mistresses of each family to come and enjoy the flowers, and also to find a suitable young man for you two sisters." Mrs. Jiang said gently to her two daughters.
Hearing this, Jiang Meiyu and Jiang Meilian raised their heads at the same time, with surprised expressions on their faces. They didn't expect that Mrs. Jiang would suddenly come up with such an idea.
"Yes, thank you, mother." Jiang Meiyu was the first to react and thanked Mrs. Jiang with a smile.
"Yes, thank you, mother." Jiang Meilian also said, her eyes flickering, but she smiled again in just a moment.
Mrs. Jiang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Lian'er, come to my yard for dinner tonight. It just so happens that our family of four hasn't eaten together for a long time, and your father misses you too."
"Yes, mother." Jiang Meilian replied softly.
Mrs. Jiang smiled and nodded, then stood up to go about her business, leaving Jiang Meiyu and Jiang Meilian alone, each lost in thought.
As night fell and the lights began to light, it was time for dinner. However, Imperial Tutor Jiang sent a messenger back to inform him that he had important matters to discuss with the Emperor and would not be home for dinner. So, the three of them decided to dine together. After dinner, Jiang Meiyu and Jiang Meilian each returned to their own courtyards.
The atmosphere of the night gradually thickened, like a thick inky silk, quietly spreading out, swallowing up the noise and brightness of the day, and shrouding the entire world in darkness.
Jiang Meiyu had just laid down, ready to rest, when a dark figure suddenly appeared before her like a ghost. She said with some displeasure, "What are you doing here? You, a prince, are sneaking into the boudoir of an unmarried woman like me every night! If anyone knew, it would definitely damage my reputation!"
Prince Gong looked at Jiang Meiyu with amusement, with a smile on his lips, and said softly: "I have promised to marry you, and the imperial edict will come down in a few days. Yu'er, have you ever thought about me?" His eyes were full of teasing and teasing, as if testing Jiang Meiyu's reaction.
Jiang Meiyu raised her head slightly, meeting Prince Gong's gaze, her eyes gleaming with determination and confidence. She smiled and replied, "Your Highness, of course I miss you." Her voice was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze caressing Prince Gong's heartstrings.
Prince Gong nodded with satisfaction, reached out and gently pinched Jiang Meiyu's chin, his thumb gently stroking her skin. Jiang Meiyu felt the warmth from Prince Gong's fingertips, and a warm current surged in her heart.
However, at this moment, Prince Gong suddenly leaned forward and kissed Jiang Meiyu on the lips without hesitation. This sudden move surprised Jiang Meiyu a little, but she quickly adapted to it. After all, as a modern person, her mind is open.
Jiang Meiyu responded to Prince Gong's passion, her arms wrapped around his neck, her tongue entwined with his. Their breathing gradually became rapid, and their bodies pressed tightly together.
The passionate kiss lasted for a while until Jiang Meiyu felt she was about to suffocate and had to push Prince Gong away. She was panting, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes revealed a hint of shyness and satisfaction.
Prince Gong looked at Jiang Meiyu with a satisfied smile on his face. He stroked Jiang Meiyu's hair and asked gently, "Yu'er, did you enjoy yourself just now?"
