288 The Rise and Fall of the Royal City (Part 17)
Wei Lan felt a warm glow in her heart, and said softly, "Wen'er has been studying very hard lately; she's reading inside right now. I'll go call her in a bit."
My lover's words, though short, were like sweet dew sprinkling on my heart, filling me with joy. With such a loving and considerate man, I would do anything for him.
Bi Yunyan clung tightly to her lover, as did Jie Fanghua; their eyes shone with boundless love. It was as if their entire souls were filled with affection. They remained motionless for a long time.
Wei Lan asked gently, "Is Shen Lang hungry? Let's eat first, and then go wash up."
"Okay, let's go eat first, I'm starving," she nodded gently.
Wei Lan reluctantly left, went to the side, gave a few instructions, and then the housekeeper, Jin, quickly went to serve the dishes.
Immediately, the group arrived together and, a moment later, entered the hall. The aroma was delightful, whetting their appetites. Wei Lan brought Wen'er over; at that moment, Wen'er was beautifully made up, standing gracefully, exuding an air of good fortune, and politely greeted everyone.
Wei Lan prepared a table full of food for Wen'er to help herself.
Ji Xixi looked at Wen'er with a hint of doubt, but didn't ask further. At this moment, the women sat down again, and Piaomiao Yue said softly, "Miss Han and Master Si have gone out; they've probably gone somewhere to check things out."
Piaomiaoyue was aware of the slight awkwardness between the two. Miss Han was probably going to be busy soon, and the Master would likely be returning to the royal city soon, as there were still many things to deal with there.
The fact that she's been here for so long suggests two things: to relax and to check on her lover. After all, her lover is someone she needs to keep a close eye on these days.
The women then began selecting snacks, vegetables, fruits, noodles, and other treats, all while gazing at their lovers.
Xixi hadn't tasted human food in a long time, and now, smelling the aroma of all kinds of food on the table, she felt as if she had returned to the human world.
An enticing aroma wafted into my nostrils, a unique, earthy scent of firewood filling the air, making my mouth water.
I couldn't resist picking up a pan-fried dumpling and taking a small bite. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it was incredibly delicious. I was instantly captivated, savoring a taste from who-knows-how-many years ago, unchanged by time.
The rich aroma and flavor of smoky food made for such a wonderful experience. It's so good to be able to eat here!
The women smiled gently as they watched Ji Xixi slowly return to normal, without disturbing her. They then began to eat, and seeing their lover slowly eating the roasted lamb, they smiled knowingly.
Wei Qinghui, unusually proactive, gently brought over a braised turtle, picked it up with her chopsticks, and fed it to her lover.
A beautiful woman feeds him, and he doesn't refuse her at all. He puts down the roasted lamb chops in his hand and eats the braised turtle that the seven beauties sent him. It's as big as a washbasin and it's so fat!
He finished the turtle in a few bites, quickly digesting it in his stomach. Inadvertently, he bit the beautiful woman's hand, and suddenly his mouth was filled with fragrance.
The beauty showed no anger, but rather a shy and bashful glance, exuding boundless charm, a beauty that could shame the moon and flowers!
She whispered sweetly in his ear, her breath sweet as orchids, "Would you like some more braised pork?"
She nodded naturally, reluctant to let go of her delicate hand.
Wei Qinghui nodded shyly, withdrew her hand, and quietly returned to the table. She gently picked up the fragrant braised pork and placed it in Wen'er's bowl, whispering, "Wen'er, you should try some too."
Wen'er nodded and said softly, "Thank you, sister!"
She ate slowly, her bowl full of vegetables and fried dumplings, which Ji Xixi had just lovingly placed on her plate. She also had Yunyan, Piaomiaoyue, and Yunsu, among other dishes. She watched quietly as Wen'er and her lover ate, as if they were competing to see who could eat faster.
Wen'er was also very happy, and was focused on eating, not paying much attention to her surroundings. Naturally, she was unaware of what was happening around her.
After eating for a while, the women felt quite full and began to slowly bring the dishes from the table over to their lovers. Frugality is a virtue, and especially good food should not be wasted.
Yun Su changed into a light white dress, as elegant as a cloud, resembling a pure cloud. Her slender figure, long and straight legs, and flawless proportions made her appear supple and graceful, exuding a gentle and fragrant aura.
Floating in the wind, as light as a cicada's wing, her wide skirt cascades in layers, like a sea of clouds surging. Her figure is graceful, her steps are light, as if she were a fairy strolling in the wind, with an elegant and noble temperament!
My red makeup is only for my lover; my tender feelings are only for you.
It's as if I'm guarding your beautiful land, drawing your eyebrows only for you, willing to give everything for you, just to see your smile. Perhaps it's true, I traveled from the capital to this place, across mountains and rivers, just to meet you!
With a smile on her face and eyes full of her lover, she knew that beauty fades and all is lost in the end, but she only wished that her lover's affection would not diminish. He would travel thousands of miles just for her. In that moment, the beauty's tenderness transcended time and space, leaving only boundless affection.
The group began, each carrying a plate of food, carefully picking up a delicious dish and bringing it to someone's lips. The person slightly opened their mouth, allowing the beautiful woman to put the food into their mouth. They savored it, their gaze gentle yet wolfish, fixed on the woman's clothes, as if admiring a beautiful painting.
Mysterious, incredibly mysterious, I want to know more about it.
Bi Yunyan gently wiped the grease from her lover's lips and whispered, "My love, you must be tired from your journey. Go and freshen up first."
She nodded slightly. Looking at the people chatting quietly, occasionally glancing over, she felt a mixture of anticipation and shyness.
By this time, Wen'er had finished eating and was quietly watching everyone playing around. Ji Xixi was whispering to her beside her. Wei Lan came over gently, preparing to take her to the backyard to wash up and rest early.
The night was cool and quiet. Wen'er obediently said goodbye to the other girls and skipped away behind them. She was very happy and whispered, "Mother, Brother Chen is back. You don't need to worry anymore. Brother Chen is so capable, he will definitely be fine. Don't worry!"
Gently pulling her hand, holding her little hand, feeling that she wasn't cold at all, she whispered, "Yes, Brother Chen, you must have returned safely."
Don't read anymore tonight. After I help you wash up, you should go to bed early, okay?
Hmm, her eyes were a little sleepy, and she couldn't help but yawn. The wind was slightly chilly, just the right time to sleep. It's normal to be a little sleepy.
Footsteps approached softly from behind. The bright moonlight hung high in the sky, but even its brilliance paled in comparison to the beauty of the woman!
