"After all, she is my wife, so it's only natural to understand her a bit more."
"No regrets."
He lifted my chin and rubbed his nose against mine. "Oh? They say I am heartless and ruthless, weren't you afraid back then, Yue?"
"Precisely because my husband has such a reputation, after marrying you, no one dares to disturb my peace."
"My parents are biased, my sister is selfish. If I hadn't married you, I would still have to live by their whims, eat with them, and endure their veiled mockery."
"But now, they don't dare and can't do anything."
"I have a room all to myself; I can eat whatever I want and drink whatever I want without having to watch their expressions."
" Yue, do you like me?"
Li Cheng's eyes flickered slightly. I smiled and whispered in his ear, "My husband is handsome and charming, with a high position and great power. Of course, I like you."
"I want to share meals with you through all seasons, share the same bed and pillow, want to whisper sweet nothings to you, want to..."
The unfinished words were silenced by Li Cheng as he kissed me softly, his gaze trembling slightly.
" Yue, do you really want to be with me?"
I nodded. He leaned down and pulled the bed curtains.
The night was hazy, and his brows and eyes gradually blurred.
His kiss was passionate and lingering; his hands were hot yet gentle, his gaze deepening.
Since revealing our identities, I no longer felt burdened in my heart. As for the changes in our feelings, the most obvious manifestation was that at night he became more daring, often making me feel an impulse to push him off the bed.
I sat by the window, playing with the luminous pearl he had found somewhere this morning to cheer me up.
I gazed out at the bamboo forest and recalled when I was at the Prime Minister's Residence, embroidering with Bi'er to earn money, fetching water and cleaning the courtyard while living in the most remote Cold Snow Pavilion.
Meanwhile, my sister enjoyed our parents' favoritism, surrounded by maids and adorned with countless jewels.
A wave of warmth surged in my heart; fortunately, I met Li Cheng. He made me understand what it feels like to be loved.
Being cherished by someone, what does it feel like?
I will no longer be transparent, invisible to others.
No one can ignore me anymore.
The next day, in the bamboo forest.
I sat playing the guqin, the sound flowing gracefully, like the chirping of a yellow oriole, like the laughter of a fairy.
My joyful mood was completely infused into the music.
The maid Bi'er approached, her expression complex: "Madam, the young lady of the Prime Minister's Residence is about to get married."
I paused my fingers on the strings, so soon?
"Oh? Which young master is so fortunate?"
Bi'er bit her lip: "His Highness the Second Prince. I heard he proposed himself. The Second Miss also asked me to convey a message, hoping you could go back to see her off."
I was taken aback; how could it be the Second Prince?
Isn't he known for his flirtations?
His romantic escapades have long spread throughout the capital; the Prime Minister's Residence must know about it. How could they allow Wang Rui to marry him?
Unless there are unavoidable circumstances.
But she is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Residence and has ties to the emperor; who would dare to make things difficult for her?
Unless... someone is doing this on purpose.
I recalled that day at the flower viewing banquet; the Second Prince's people did not appear. Could this be Li Cheng's doing?
But isn't the Second Prince aligned with the Fourth Prince?
How could he collude with Li Cheng?
I felt uneasy, sensing that things were not as simple as they seemed, and decided to return to the Prime Minister's Residence to investigate further.
Prime Minister's Residence.
Sister sat in the hall, tears streaming down her face, and I felt a pang of sympathy.
She looked up at me and said, "Sister, you finally came."
"Sister, my fate is unfortunate; now I can only marry the Demon King. But you are different; you married the Grand Preceptor, and from now on, you will enjoy a life of luxury and wealth."
