Chapter 381: Chapter 382: Garden Affair

"The Emperor can rest assured, Xiao Linzhang absolutely has no issues. I have already done a full-body check on him, and now I am teaching him the words ’grandpa’."

"Next time the Emperor sees him, he will definitely be able to say those two words."

The Emperor laughed heartily upon hearing this and was very pleased. He looked at Shao He with a meaningful gaze, "Do you know where the position of Fifth Prince’s Consort comes from?"

"It was bestowed by the Emperor himself through an imperial decree," Shao He respectfully answered.

However, the Emperor shook his head with a smile, "Your marriage was earnestly sought by Pei Huaian."

Shao He looked up in shock, aware that Pei Huaian must have sacrificed something for the position of Prince’s Consort, but she had not expected this.

The Emperor, extremely satisfied with her reaction, continued, "Moreover, as a bargaining chip, he took on a very troublesome and even potentially dangerous mission. As long as he succeeds, I will no longer obstruct you two. I hope you do not let down Huaian’s sincere heart."

The Emperor had never thought that Pei Huaian could be so infatuated, similar to himself at the beginning, but in the end, he did not manage to stay dedicated to one person throughout his life.

An unusual feeling swept through Shao He’s heart, and she lowered her gaze to hide the turbulence within.

After a long while, she raised her head, nodded earnestly, and said firmly, "This consort will not let down the Emperor’s deep kindness."

"Good," the Emperor nodded with satisfaction.

On the way back, Shao He was preoccupied with what kind of mission Pei Huaian had accepted - was it related to the court or the battlefield?

If it was the battlefield, where swords and spears show no mercy, she must prepare some medicinal supplies for him. If it was related to the court, she hoped he could emerge unscathed.

Shao He realized that Pei Huaian had, unwittingly, walked into her heart.

Previously, she had always felt that there were too many barriers between them, making it impossible to stay together for life.

But after this period of adjustments, she found that both of them had changed.

The pitch-black night was illuminated by moonlight, with stars sprawled across, the pristine moonlight shed across the land, the silvery glow covering the entire earth, the quiet carrying a hint of mystery, seemingly foretelling something.

Shao He wandered aimlessly, unknowingly arriving at the garden, and as she passed by, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, frightening her into hastily hiding behind a rockery.

"Why have you only just arrived?"

"I was afraid of being discovered, so I especially switched clothes with my maid and hurried to meet you."

Shao He slightly shifted and peered out. She finally saw the two speakers by the moonlight; it was Xia Zhaoshun and Jiang Zhou.

She had not expected that the pair would be bold enough to meet during the wedding banquet.

Suddenly, Xia Zhaoshun glanced in her direction, causing Shao He to quickly pull her head back.

Xia Zhaoshun did not notice her and simply spoke in a low, husky voice, "Thank you for your effort."

Jiang Zhou laughed softly, moving closer to Xia Zhaoshun in a flirtatious manner, "It’s no trouble, as long as it’s something you want me to do, I will comply."

A sinister smile appeared on Xia Zhaoshun’s face, "Next, we must execute our next plan."

"Why must I marry the Second Prince? Is there no other way? What exactly do you want to obtain from him?" Jiang Zhou asked, puzzled.

Xia Zhaoshun raised his hand to touch a strand of her hair, his lips curving into a rakish smile, "I need you to find a jade pendant in the Second Prince’s Mansion, this pendant is very important."

Jiang Zhou instantly understood his intention, "What is the use of this jade pendant?"

"You don’t need to worry about that, just find this jade pendant. It is different from others, neither as exquisitely made nor well crafted, but it is the only thing that can accomplish what I need," Xia Zhaoshun said coldly.

"Alright, I understand." Jiang Zhou was about to leave when her slender waist was tightly embraced by Xia Zhaoshun.

The scent of male hormones was overwhelming, and he greedily sniffed her fragrance, his hands slowly sliding to the flat area of her belly.

Jiang Zhou shyly pushed him away, "Stop fooling around, wait until after the matter is settled, then you can do whatever you want."

"Let’s play an exciting game for now," Xia Zhaoshun wickedly licked her tender lips, his large hand slowly moving upward...

Jiang Zhou closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around his lean waist, and whispered near his ear, "No, I had surgery done for this wedding banquet, specifically to prevent the Second Prince from noticing anything."

"What’s there to fear? He’s probably already been drugged into oblivion by now; you could just find a maid to replace you," Xia Zhaoshun replied.

"How so? Don’t you want...?" Xia Zhaoshun stared at her, his fingers tracing her bright red lips.

Jiang Zhou glared at him, annoyed, "Stop it!"

Xia Zhaoshun hugged her waist and bit her earlobe, whispering, "You troublesome little temptress, tell me, do you want it or not?"

"Ah, how can you..." Jiang Zhou’s face flushed red, her body going limp, relying on Xia Zhaoshun to barely stand upright.

"What can I do? Hmm?" Xia Zhaoshun deliberately lifted her waist and pinned her against a tree with a kiss.

"Mmm..." Jiang Zhou moaned softly, her arms actively wrapping around his neck, passionately responding to his actions.

Xia Zhaoshun’s eyes reddened as he forcefully tore off the woman’s clothes, laughing, "Is it especially thrilling to do this with another man at your own wedding?"
