LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 18
Chapter 18: Curiosity of Jing Ni, Who is the last woman?
The night is already deep.
The gentle breeze brushes past, with sparse moon and stars.
On the path leading outside the city, there are only two figures walking hand in hand.
“Honey, when I was talking to Princess Hong Liang downstairs today, did you see the figures on the fourth floor?”
The fourth floor was beyond Li Mo’s range of vision.
He just felt a few pairs of eyes on him, so he subconsciously looked up.
Jing Ni recalled, “There were four people, two men and two women. Judging from their attire and appearance, they were not ordinary people, and those two women didn’t seem like ordinary people either.”
Li Mo nodded, “Those who share a room with Princess Honglian cannot possibly engage in such activities.”
“Is there anyone among those four who is particularly noteworthy?”
At the mention of “noteworthy,” a figure immediately came to Jingni’s mind.
“Yes, there’s a girl with purple hair, very beautiful.” (Jing Ni)
Hmm~ Almost as beautiful as Jing Ni!
Li Mo’s steps hesitated slightly.
Just as he suspected.
“What’s wrong, husband? Do you know those people?”
Startled, Jing Ni stopped and asked in confusion. Li Mo shook his head and continued holding Jing Ni’s warm and soft hand as they walked forward.
“I don’t know them.”
He didn’t know them, just knew about them. In this way, the place where they were, the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, turned out to be the Purple Orchid Pavilion. It’s no wonder that a princess like Hong Liang would appear in such a place.
The Purple Orchid Pavilion is not an ordinary place of worldly affairs. It is a place that will become the starting point of the “Flowing Sands.” It is also an important place for “Flowing Sands” to gather intelligence.
Jing Ni was a sensible person and didn’t ask further, but expressed her concern instead:
“Husband, if you offend that Hong Liang princess today, aren’t you afraid of her retaliating?”
She was worrying about this along the way.
Li Mo smiled and said, “No, the Hong Liang princess, although pampered, is not malicious at heart.”
“And I told her that not putting her on the list wasn’t because she’s not pretty enough.”
Speaking of this, Jing Ni couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “So you lied to her, saying that if a prince from another country heard about her beauty, he would seek a political marriage with the Han Emperor?”
Hong Liang was frightened when she heard Li Mo’s words at the time. She didn’t want to marry, let alone engage in a political marriage! Jing Ni suddenly slowed down and looked at Li Mo’s slender and handsome profile under the moonlight.
Li Mo sensed it and asked with a smile, “What’s wrong? Have you discovered that your husband has become handsome again?”
Jing Ni smiled faintly and tightened her hand in his, saying, “You were already very handsome. I’m just curious why you didn’t mention the name of the last beauty?”
Li Mo turned his head to “look” at Jing Ni, a hint of teasing on his face.
“Honey is curious about who this last woman is, right?”
In fact, the two were not thinking the same thing. Li Mo thought Jing Ni was upset because he didn’t place her on the list.
He didn’t know that not only did he list her, he also had high praise for her. Jing Ni leaned against him and said softly, “So, husband, secretly tell me, okay?”
After saying this, even Jing Ni herself was surprised. How did this sound like she was being coquettish? Unbelievably, she, Jing Ni, one day would actually be coquettish with a man!
Li Mo’s heart trembled as he could clearly “see” the blush on Jing Ni’s cheeks. Her shy and beautiful appearance was truly captivating!
“Honey, let’s go, your husband just remembered that the bedding at home hasn’t been collected yet, let’s hurry back to collect the bedding!”
He didn’t indulge in the habit of sneaking into the woods with his wife. Jing Ni looked puzzled and was pulled by the quick steps of Li Mo heading home.
Upon returning home, the bedding hadn’t been collected yet, so they changed it. Li Mo gently massaged Jing Ni’s legs.
Jing Ni lazily raised her head and looked at him, “Aren’t you tired?”
“Not tired, my honey worked hard.” Li Mo grinned.
“Honey is truly amazing, she can even do a one-handed handstand.”
