Chapter 143 He Mingyan's Hunger
At this moment, He Yanyi's eyes seemed to burn with two raging flames, a burning desire surging within them. However, the moment his gaze inadvertently fell upon the beautiful woman beneath him, all his wildness and impulsiveness vanished in an instant, replaced by endless tenderness, like a gentle breeze caressing the face in spring, warm and intoxicating.
He leaned down slightly, getting close to the beautiful face that haunted his dreams, and whispered in a deep, magnetic voice, "Xue'er, my deep love for you is like an inextinguishable flame that will burn forever, until the end of time and the seas dry up and the rocks crumble."
He Yanyi's heartfelt confession was like a magic key, gently unlocking Shen Xue's previously shy heart. In an instant, a strong sense of happiness surged through her, engulfing her completely. She forgot all her reserve and shyness, emerging like a beautiful butterfly from its cocoon, bravely revealing her truest feelings.
Those fair, jade-like, slender hands now wrapped tightly around He Yanyi's broad, strong neck like supple vines. At the same time, she gently parted her luscious lips and responded to her lover's tender affection with a voice as melodious as a nightingale's song: "Yanyi, my heart is already like a steadfast rock, forever belonging only to you, in this life and the next, it will never change."
Upon hearing this, He Yanyi's lips curled into a slightly upturned smile, revealing an incredibly doting expression. That smile was like the warmest spring sunshine, instantly illuminating the entire room. Then, he slowly bent down, his movements as gentle as a dragonfly lightly skimming the surface of water.
When his lips gently touched Shen Xue's luscious, ripe, cherry-like red lips, time seemed to stand still. Their breaths began to mingle, initially just light panting, but soon becoming more and more rapid, and their temperature rose imperceptibly between them.
The sweet and lingering kiss deepened, with He Yanyi gently sucking on Shen Xue's lips as if trying to absorb all her beauty into his mouth. Shen Xue responded softly to his passion, her arms unconsciously wrapping around He Yanyi's neck, bringing their bodies even closer together.
In this passionate moment, their emotional connection grew even stronger. No words were needed; a deep, tender kiss was enough to convey the overwhelming love surging within each other. What followed flowed naturally and smoothly, as effortlessly as flowing water.
In this room filled with deep love, they forgot all the troubles and worries of the world, immersing themselves wholeheartedly in their own romantic world. Every exchange of glances, every touch of skin, became the most beautiful notes, together composing a love symphony that belonged only to them…
She didn't know how much time had passed, but Shen Xue was utterly exhausted, like a candle about to be extinguished in the wind. Finally, she couldn't resist the onslaught of drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep. He Yanyi gazed tenderly at the peacefully sleeping woman in his arms, his gaze as if he were savoring a priceless treasure, a masterpiece of art. He slowly reached out and gently stroked Shen Xue's delicate, fair cheek, the touch like the softest, smoothest silk in the world. Then, he lowered his voice and whispered a tender, affectionate sentence: "Xue'er, to have the honor of marrying you is the greatest happiness of my life." As soon as he finished speaking, he gently kissed her smooth forehead, like a warm spring breeze. Then, he embraced the beauty in his arms tightly, and together they gradually drifted into a sweet and beautiful dream.
Meanwhile, He Mingyan, like a graceful butterfly, fluttered away from Fengluan Palace. In the blink of an eye, she returned to her own Yuyan Palace like a whirlwind. The moment she stepped inside, she transformed completely, instantly turning from an elegant butterfly into a ravenous tiger. Before she could even catch her breath, she anxiously shouted to Rong Mama, "Quickly! Mama, prepare my meal immediately!" Rong Mama was startled by her sudden action, staring at He Mingyan in astonishment, her expression as if she had witnessed something unbelievable. After a moment's hesitation, Rong Mama hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, why have you suddenly returned to the palace at this hour? Didn't Her Majesty invite you to dine with us?"
He Mingyan frowned slightly, parted her lips, and sighed softly. Her appearance was like that of a delicate flower ravaged by a storm, making her all the more pitiful. She said softly, "I was planning to have dinner there, but who would have thought that Father Emperor would suddenly arrive? I had no choice but to leave in a hurry, like a fallen leaf drifting in the wind."
Upon hearing this, Rong Mama's wrinkled face instantly blossomed into a smile, like spring flowers blooming. She quickly responded, "Oh, is that so? What a coincidence! Now that Your Highness has returned, this old servant will immediately instruct the Imperial Kitchen to prepare some exquisite and delicious food. Fortunately, Your Highness returned in time, otherwise, you might have missed this delicious and sumptuous lunch!" With that, Rong Mama moved with lightning speed, like a whirlwind, hurriedly dispatching servants to the Imperial Kitchen to fetch the food.
Before long, one after another, dishes of exquisite color, aroma, and taste appeared as if by magic, floating gracefully from the kitchen and landing steadily on the dining table covered with a beautifully embroidered tablecloth. Some of these dishes were steaming hot, emitting an enticing aroma; others were vibrantly colored, like a magnificent painting; and still others were uniquely shaped, resembling exquisitely crafted works of art.
In just a short while, the dazzling array of mouthwatering dishes piled up like a small mountain, completely filling the table, leaving hardly any space. At this moment, Granny Rong stood to the side, her face beaming with a warm and respectful smile. She carefully reached out and gently picked up a crystal-clear jade bowl, which shimmered with a warm glow in the sunlight, like a dazzling pearl.
Immediately, Rong Momo's movements became exceptionally gentle, as if she were holding not an ordinary bowl, but a priceless treasure. She slowly scooped up a spoonful of fragrant, hot soup. The soup was rich and flavorful, golden in color, with a few tender green leaves and bright red goji berries floating on the surface, making it look incredibly appetizing. Then, Rong Momo gently poured the soup into the jade bowl until it was full. After doing all this, she raised her head, looking at He Mingyan with loving and caring eyes, and said softly, "Your Highness, please warm yourself with this soup!"
He Mingyan looked up at the sound and saw Rong Momo smiling at her, holding a steaming bowl of soup. Her beautiful eyes lit up instantly, like parched earth finally receiving a long-awaited rain, bursting with vitality. She eagerly stretched out her slender, flawless white hands and snatched the bowl of soup with lightning speed.
Without hesitation, He Mingyan tilted her head back and drank the entire bowl of soup in one gulp after receiving the bowl. With a few gurgling sounds, the hot soup quickly slid down her throat, warming her body along the way. After finishing the soup, He Mingyan let out a satisfied sigh, her breath carrying a faint, pleasant fragrance that filled the entire room.
Finally, He Mingyan exclaimed with a happy expression, "Oh my, I feel like I've finally come back to life! This soup is so delicious, it warms my body and stomach." After saying that, she playfully winked at Rong Momo, looking extremely cute.
Having said that, she swiftly reached out and gripped the delicate chopsticks tightly, like a ravenous wolf pouncing on the abundant food before her, devouring it with gusto. Standing nearby, Granny Rong couldn't help but chuckle at her ravenous appetite, teasingly saying, "Oh dear, how could our noble princess be so hungry?" He Mingyan's mouth was stuffed full, her cheeks bulging like two small balloons. She chewed and swallowed laboriously, replying indistinctly, "Granny, have you forgotten? I was so worried about my elder sister's safety. This morning, I didn't even have time for breakfast, rushing out like an arrow to find her. And what happened? After all that searching, I didn't even catch a glimpse of her, and instead, I'm completely exhausted and breathless. Finally..." Yi dragged his exhausted body back to his palace, hoping to finally get some rest. Little did he expect that before he could even settle in, his mother summoned him again. He had been secretly pleased, thinking that this time he might get a delicious meal at his mother's, saving him the trouble of running around for food. But alas, man proposes, God disposes! Who could have imagined that his father would arrive so unusually early today, like a sudden storm, completely disrupting his plans? If he had been even a quarter of an hour later, he might already be feasting at his mother's!
At this point, He Mingyan hurriedly grabbed her bowl and chopsticks again, shoveling food into her mouth like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. While chewing, she continued, "Hmph, as long as I dine with the Empress Dowager, even if Father Emperor suddenly arrives, could he possibly kick me out while I'm eating? That wouldn't make sense! But who would have thought, it was just a little bit short... Sigh..." At this point, He Mingyan couldn't help but sigh deeply, her face showing an extremely mournful expression. "Why am I so unlucky? I'm utterly pitiful!"
Hearing this, Rong Momo, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle. Looking at the innocent and adorable little princess before her, she gently comforted her, "Oh dear, Your Highness, please don't lament like this. The Emperor and the Empress's relationship is so deep and loving, everyone in the palace knows it. You've grown up by their side since you were little, so you naturally know these things all too well."
Hearing Rong Mama's words, He Mingyan continued chewing, nodding indistinctly, "Mmm, that's right, that's exactly why. This princess is already used to it." With that, she picked up a large piece of food and stuffed it into her mouth, eating with relish. For a moment, only the "crunch crunch" sound could be heard from her mouth; she was thoroughly enjoying herself.
And so, He Mingyan became completely immersed in the world of food, devouring it without a care for anyone else. After a long while, she finally put down her chopsticks with satisfaction, patted her round little belly, and said contentedly, "Haha, I'm finally full! Granny, quickly have someone take all this away!"
Seeing this, Rong Momo quickly replied with a smile, "Alright, alright, this old servant will immediately order someone to clean the table." As she spoke, she turned and called out towards the door, and soon several palace maids filed in, quickly and efficiently clearing away the leftover food and various tableware from the table. In no time, the table, which had been filled with delicious dishes, was cleaned up and restored to its former tidiness.
The sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze blew. He Mingyan, dressed in a light purple long dress, her skirts fluttering, looked like a fairy descending to earth. She moved gracefully, leading Rong Momo, Xiao Tao, and Yanzi behind her, slowly making their way towards the flower-filled garden. Along the way, laughter and cheerful chatter filled the air, as if a joyful atmosphere permeated the entire space.
Finally arriving at the garden entrance, they were greeted by a riot of colors, a breathtaking sight of vibrant blooms. Butterflies fluttered among the flowers, while bees busily gathered pollen. The four were captivated by this picturesque scene, slowing their pace and leisurely strolling through the sea of blossoms.
He Mingyan gently closed her eyes, feeling the gentle touch of the breeze on her cheeks and listening to the cheerful songs of the birds, feeling exceptionally relaxed.
