Chapter 65

◎He only breathes when he's completely dazed from kissing someone◎

Upon hearing the servant's call, Yuange immediately realized something was wrong. Xue Lingyu was right in front of her; wouldn't this expose her and reveal her mistress's identity?

When Xue Lingyu heard the woman in front of him called Yuange, he was momentarily stunned. He clearly remembered that this woman was that woman's maid, and he had just seen her a few days ago. There was no doubt about that.

How did she become the one who sings the song of the kite?

Xue Lingyu couldn't help but ask the servant, "Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Seeing that he was being questioned, the servant looked at the silent Yuange and then at the puzzled Xue Lingyu, scratching the back of his head and said, "How could we mistake her for someone else? This is Sister Yuange, who serves Miss. Everyone in the inner courtyard has seen her."

Xue Lingyu looked at Yuange, but saw that she didn't dare to look at her, which meant that something was amiss.

The servant then asked Yuange, "Sister Yuange, when can we set off?"

Yuange placed Xue Lingyu aside and said to the servants, "You should all go and rest when Miss returns."

By saying this, she was implicitly admitting that she was Yuange. No matter how many reasons she came up with on the spot, she probably wouldn't be able to convince Xue Lingyu.

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately withdrew to rest. Before leaving, he glanced at Xue Lingyu, as if surprised that someone didn't recognize Yuange.

Xue Lingyu now truly understood that he had been deceived by that woman. She was not Yuan Ge, the female steward by the young lady's side, but likely had another identity and had been deceiving him from the very beginning.

Looking at the calm and composed Yuan Ge, Xue Lingyu suddenly remembered what Xin Yan had said: the woman in front of her was the one who truly embodied the words "serious and steady," while the other woman was just an unruly playboy in comparison.

Yuan Ge didn't know how to explain to Xue Lingyu. She hadn't expected to ruin her mistress's plan by accident. She also hadn't expected Xue Lingyu to suddenly come looking for her by name.

Xue Lingyu sized up Yuan Ge for a while before asking, "If you are Yuan Ge, then who is she?"

The "she" Xue Lingyu was referring to was naturally Jiang He. Yuan Ge couldn't possibly reveal Jiang He's identity now, so she came up with a safe way.

“That’s right, I am the head steward of Miss’s courtyard. As for the question you asked later, I think it’s better to wait for her to explain it to you in person.”

Yuan Ge thought to herself, hoping that the young lady would not blame her, since it would be better for her to explain to Young Master Xue herself.

After Yuange finished speaking, she bowed to Xue Lingyu, left the storeroom, and followed the servants to the front yard to wait for Jiang He.

The old man guarding the warehouse saw that everyone had left and the warehouse was locked, leaving only Xue Lingyu at the warehouse door. He had just seen Xue Lingyu talking to Yuan Ge and thought that she must be someone he couldn't easily offend, so he didn't pay any attention to Xue Lingyu.

The thought of living in deception all this time made Xue Lingyu feel extremely uncomfortable. She felt like a clown being played around and manipulated by that woman.

Why would she lie to herself...? Xue Lingyu's eyes couldn't help but redden.

As soon as Jiang He returned from the shop, she saw Yuan Ge rushing over and whispering a few words in her ear.

“Miss, why don’t you explain this to Young Master Xue yourself? This matter needs to be resolved. We can’t keep it from him forever; he will eventually have to restore his identity.” Yuan Ge briefly recounted the whole story and advised her.

Jiang He never expected that such a thing would happen after she just went out for a short while. However, she didn't expect to be able to keep it a secret for long. If it were anyone else, they would have guessed her identity long ago. Only Xue Lingyu would be so oblivious.

She wanted to find Xue Lingyu to explain now, but noon had passed, and this was not something that could be explained in a short time. It would inevitably take some time, but if she did that, she would definitely not be able to enter the palace in time.

The full moon celebration is no small matter. As the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and the younger sister of the current Phoenix King, if she is late, she will definitely be gossiped about and cause unnecessary trouble.

Since they were already in the manor and wouldn't be running away anytime soon, Jiang He made a decision: "We'll talk about it when we get back."

Yuange bowed her head and agreed.

Jiang Wanyi's father stayed in the palace to take care of her. With her father by her side and the imperial physician's careful care, Jiang Wanyi's postpartum health recovered day by day. Now, apart from sometimes feeling weak in her hands and feet, she has no other sequelae.

Jiang Wanyi did not become thinner after giving birth; instead, she became more voluptuous. In particular, she did not leave the child with a wet nurse but took care of the child herself. Sometimes, she inevitably experienced some things, such as her underwear often getting wet and the occasional throbbing pain at night.

This is something most men experience after giving birth. Some men from wealthy families, in order to maintain a slim figure, would not do this. Jiang Wanyi was not comfortable entrusting her child to others, so she insisted on doing it.

Feng Jun could wear bright red. The Emperor had already instructed the Imperial Wardrobe to make a magnificent robe, inlaid with luminous pearls, luxurious and precious, representing the importance he placed on Jiang Wanyi.

Men experience a second growth spurt after childbirth, and it took the servants quite a bit of effort to help Jiang Wanyi put on her clothes.

After entering the palace, Jiang He first went to Chaohui Hall to visit Jiang Wanyi and a pair of twins, and then accompanied Jiang Wanyi to a banquet.

The princess and prince's full moon celebration invited prominent dukes, marquises, and princes from the capital, as well as ministers of the fifth rank and above. The emperor allowed the princes and ministers to bring their families, so the banquet was very lively, with guests gathering to congratulate the princess and prince on their full moon celebration.

Who could have imagined that the once lowly merchant's son would now rise to become the incomparably noble Phoenix Lord? With a pair of twins by his side, his position is as stable as Mount Tai and unshakable. In addition, with the Emperor's favor, he is even more unmatched.

Some in the harem who once resented Jiang Wanyi's exclusive favor now have no choice but to keep a low profile.

No one dared to provoke Jiang He at the banquet, since everyone knew she was the Emperor's sister-in-law, and the example of the daughter of Imperial Censor Feng was still fresh in everyone's minds.

Jiang He was preoccupied with Xue Lingyu's matter and had no interest in exchanging pleasantries with the ministers. On the contrary, Su Yawan displayed her social skills and won over many people. The Minister and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel were furious to see Su Yawan so successful, but they could do nothing about it.

The wines served at the banquet were all fruit wines, but Jiang He unknowingly drank too much. Although she wasn't completely drunk, she was still slightly tipsy. She told Jiang Wanyi beforehand and left the banquet early.

Seeing that she was drunk, Jiang's father couldn't help but grumble a few words. Instead of leaving the palace with Jiang He, he was sent back to the Jiang residence by palace servants sent by the Emperor the next morning.

Seeing that Jiang He was unsteady on her feet, Yuan Ge thought of helping her up. But as soon as they left the main hall, Jiang He became brisk and energetic, showing no signs of being drunk. This left Yuan Ge speechless.

On the carriage ride back, Jiang He propped her head up with her hand and closed her eyes for a while. Yuan Ge was still worried about what had happened during the day, so she asked, "Has Miss figured out how to explain this to Young Master Xue?"

"We'll see when the time comes." Jiang He opened her eyes and took a deep breath.

Xue Lingyu waited for Jiang He to come and explain to him. Because of this, he was distracted while doing needlework in the afternoon and accidentally pricked his hand. The pain almost made him cry out. He was relieved after bandaging the wound with gauze.

But this meant he couldn't work anymore and could only stay in his room.

He spent the entire afternoon running around to Liushui Xiaozhu several times, but he never saw her.

He couldn't help but wonder if she had followed the young lady into the palace?

Because of the scam, he barely ate any dinner. To make matters worse, Xin Yan had returned to the main courtyard, leaving Xue Lingyu with no one to talk to. She didn't know what to do.

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and vowed to go back to Liushui Xiaozhu one last time.

After he finished dressing and putting on his shoes, just as he was about to push open the door to go out, an unexpected person appeared at the door.

A faint smell of alcohol wafted towards him. Xue Lingyu looked at the woman in front of him, dressed in a brocade robe, her narrow eyes filled with intoxication, as if she were drunk. Before he could say anything, he was pushed back into the house.

With his back against the wall, Jiang He's breath sprayed on his cheek, and he couldn't help but struggle: "Don't touch me."

Jiang He wasn't about to give him a chance to escape; she grabbed his hand with one hand, making the person in her arms unable to move.

"You liar, stay away from me!"

Jiang He lifted his delicate chin and chuckled softly, "Since I lied to you, why are you crying?"

"I...I..." Xue Lingyu was stumped by her question and couldn't explain why for a long time.

As Jiang He drew closer, Xue Lingyu felt his body tremble slightly, and a faint blush spread across his cheeks, though he was completely unaware of it. He said aggrievedly, "You just know how to take liberties with me. You did it the previous two times too. You just bully me because I can't beat you."

After Xue Lingyu finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have revealed some earth-shattering secret, but even if he wanted to cover his mouth, it was too late.

Jiang He took in his annoyed expression. She deliberately gave a mischievous laugh, her lips brushing against Xue Lingyu's cold earlobe as she whispered something in his ear.

"Do you like me, and that's why you're sad because I lied to you?"

Xue Lingyu's eyes widened, and his first reaction was to deny it immediately. He would never like anyone, let alone the woman in front of him.

Although she gave me good food, returned the money I had lost, and promptly advised me not to go astray...

Before Xue Lingyu could deny it, Jiang He picked up a strand of his hair, sniffed it lightly, and said in a slightly tipsy tone:

"You'll know once you try it."

Xue Lingyu didn't know what she was going to try, but the next second, his waist was held by the woman's hand, and a warm pair of lips touched his lips. The taste of fruit wine gradually lingered between their lips and teeth, and Xue Lingyu even felt as if he himself was the one who was drunk.

He didn't reject the feeling; on the contrary, he loved the woman's scent, the touch of her hand on his face, the feeling of her against him, and even her laughter and her eyes...

Jiang He only dared to breathe after kissing the person until they were completely dazed.

Taking advantage of her unfounded drunkenness, she didn't want to explain anything tonight; she just wanted to take good care of herself.

There were only two people in the room. Jiang He saw that Xue Lingyu was pouting with his lips red from being kissed and was feeling dizzy, so she untied his belt and moved to another spot to continue kissing him.

A note from the author:

"The Food Cultivator's Baby Has Traveled Back (Food)" by Jiang Yang

The despised little princess Ye Yao was starved to death in the Forbidden Palace at the age of six. After her death, she was fortunate enough to be reborn as a minor food cultivator in the cultivation world.

She died from eating, and then entered the Dao through eating. She died under the tribulation of lightning when she broke through to the Golden Core stage, at the young age of sixteen.

When the little princess opened her eyes again, she found herself back in time; she had traveled back to the Forbidden City before she starved to death.

Starving to death? Absolutely impossible for a food cultivator!

Overgrown with weeds? A secluded bamboo grove? A dilapidated lotus pond? Even the pigeons flying overhead were all food in Ye Yao's eyes!

The six-year-old princess secretly started making wild vegetable and fish soup, bamboo shoot and pigeon soup, bamboo shoot and wild mushroom noodles, and chopped chili fish head in the Forbidden City...

Before we knew it, the fragrance had drifted outside the Forbidden City.

The Emperor of Yelang disliked the Eighth Princess and forgot her in the Forbidden Palace after her birth, even giving her the name "Yao," a fact known to all.

But later...

The Crown Prince said, "The Forbidden City has a quiet and peaceful environment, and it's nice to walk around there often."

The concubine said, "I will not dine with Your Majesty today."

Empress Dowager: "The Forbidden City is remote; Your Majesty, please don't be so heartless."

Prince: "Father, I also want to be banished to the Forbidden Palace!"
