Chapter 483 - 483: Let’s Get Married Next Month
Huangfu Lingyao sat beside the round table, unwrapping the oil-paper package and reaching out to grab some food.
But Liu Shimei stopped him again, saying, Wait!
He paused, bewildered. Whats wrong?
Seeing her husband, she walked to the basin, wrung a cloth, and came back. She took his large hand and meticulously wiped it clean, then proceeded to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
In no time, the dog that had gone out for a walk, not looking so refined anymore, turned back into a sleek and shiny, imposing Husky, with an aura extending two meters and eight centimeters.
The difference between a stray dog and a domesticated one!
Combine that with the motherly, patient advice. Always wash your hands before eating!
Huangfu Lingyao felt warm inside. He looked up at his beautiful wife and blurted out, My wife, you must be a fairy from heaven!bender
Liu Shimei was taken aback, remembering how he had called her fairy the night he arrived.
Silly puppy, why is he so adorable?
She couldnt help but laugh and said, When have you ever seen a fairy?
Huangfu Lingyao pouted, saying, I havent, but I think a fairy must be like my wife, beautiful and kind-hearted!
Immediately, without waiting for her response, he continued, Oh, if I dont go to the palace and ask Empress Mother to help us get married soon!
He was impatient to officially marry her. He wanted the status!
His wife was treating him well, but without a formal status, he feared she might get tired of him one day and leave him.
Also, he worried someone might snatch her away.
Excellent men were abundant, and with her qualities, she was bound to be noticed. But what if she didnt want to raise a foolish son anymore? What would she do?
What was even more terrifying was that Huangfu Lingyao was always uneasy, unsure how long he could hide his true self. He couldnt keep it a secret forever, could he?
Once they were married, she couldnt escape. He could slowly find a way to reveal his true identity to her, a relatively safer option.
Or perhaps, he could accept her treatment, pretend to get better under her care?
In Liu Shimeis perspective, of course, it was feasible. But
Wasnt it a good thing that he wasnt foolish anymore?
He wouldnt have to lie to her, but he might drag her into the convoluted struggles of the court!
In the future, after he had a wife and children, he definitely couldnt let them face danger.
Wouldnt it be better to continue pretending to be a fool?
If you can truly persuade the Empress, then you might as well give it a try, Liu Shimei said. How could she know the turmoil in her own dogs heart, like a honeycomb coal? She smiled and turned back to hang up the cloth.
Huangfu Lingyaos gaze followed her, and he discovered a crucial point previously, she wasnt very supportive when he mentioned an early marriage. Although she used very subtle words, treating him like a naive son to protect his innocent mind, her meaning was crystal clear!
But now, it seemed she didnt object anymore?
The Silly Second Prince suddenly became cheerful and said, Then Ill really go! I heard there are many preparations for a wedding. It definitely wont happen this month, so lets get married next month!
Liu Shimei came back and sat down, looking at him with amusement. If you can truly convince the Empress, then next month it is. This matter isnt just something I can decide. If I say no, it wont happen.
She said this because she knew it was impossible. Thats why she spoke like this.
Although she didnt understand why the Emperor wouldnt allow Huangfu Lingyao to marry before the Crown Prince, she wasnt clear about the underlying secrets.
But she was sure, even if he was a foolish son, the marriage of a Prince couldnt be rushed; there must be many complicated procedures.
So.
