131 Romantic Guy!

After the awkward interaction with Zheng Liang in the morning, Yang Ning sighed in relief after he exited the chamber to give her some private space to get ready.

At least he is a gentleman in such situations.

Rather than questioning her about why she drank so much wine when they were supposed to drink it together or making her more embarrassed by asking why she was saying such nonsensical words in her drunken state last night, he left her alone in the chamber to allow her some privacy to change into new clothes and get ready for the parade.

It was a good thing he didn’t pry much into all these things, otherwise, she would have died of embarrassment before dying by the sharpness of his sword.

“How can you so stupid Fang Li? How can you ask him to call you Fang Fang? Argh!” Yang Ning groaned in embarrassment and covered her face, feeling dreaded whenever she recalled the events of the last night.

Even though her memories about the last night blacked out, she can imagine everything by the detailed information that he has given her.

He not only remembers everything but rather clearly. “I hope he bumps his head into the wall and forgets everything about the last night.” She cried out but knew that nothing like this was going to happen.

“Milady!” Xiaowei interrupted Yang Ning’s self-blaming session and gasped in pleasant surprise when she entered the chamber after Zheng Liang left the room.

She was worried if her lady would be able to perform her duties as His Highness’s first wife or not. However, when she walked into the chamber, the scenario was rather different than she had imagined.

.....

Yang Ning was sitting on the bed and was covering herself with the blanket and was looking lethargic. Meanwhile, the clothes that she had worn last night were on the floor in a disheveled state.

Her long hair which was tied in a tight bun yesterday was now in a mess and her cheeks were slightly blushing.

One pillow has fallen onto the ground, meanwhile, the blanket and the bedsheet were crumpled as well.

Her eyes gleamed in excitement as she couldn’t believe that her innocent and pure lady has now become a married woman.

“What?” Yang Ning looked at her with a frown. What is she imagining in her head for her to make such perverted expressions? She wondered.

Xiaowei giggled and said, “Ah! I should address you as Your Highness from now on. I cannot dare to call you Milady anymore as it will be rude to the royal crown.” She smiled with pride in her eyes.

Her Milady has now escaped the prison-like walls of Yang Household and has received the much-deserving title and reputation.

She is a noble lady who is born to become royalty.

Along with her, her status has also elevated and from Yang Ning’s maid, she has become her lady-in-waiting who will tend to her and will take care of her.

The other court ladies will serve her as well but Xiaowei, as Yang Ning’s lady in waiting will be giving foremost priority among the all maids and court ladies.

While Xiaowei was enjoying this special attention and position, Yang Ning broke her imaginary bubble by saying, “Are you going to tease me as well?” 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

” I told you about this last night as well. Just call me how you used to do it before. It’s weird if you suddenly start calling me Her Highness and stuff.” Yang Ning shook her head as listening to this title was giving her a headache.

Why are people so formal in this world? Why are there so many formal titles anyway?

She cannot remember them at all. She has Yang Ning’s memories however, until now, those memories haven’t helped her greatly in any way, other than learning the skills more easily than she would have without knowing anything about this world.

Well, learning the names of the titles and hierarchy was a difficult task but she was sure that she would master this task soon enough.

She is Fang....Yang Ning after all.

...

“Aye! I cannot do that. How can a mere servant ignore the prestige of the royal title and address you as Milady and not Her Highness? I can never do that.” Xiaowei shook her head relentlessly.

She cannot dare to do that. Never.

Yang Nigh didn’t prompt her further as she was aware that Xiaowei would rather take the punishment than address her by her previous title anymore.

“Your Highness, I have prepared bath water for you. Please change into the bathrobe so that I could assist you to take a bath in the bathhouse.” Xiaowei said as she placed the bathrobe for Yang Ning to change into on the round table near the large mirror.

” We will do this later. First, bring me a glass of warm water with honey and lemon mixed in it.” Yang Ning said while holding her throbbing head.

Xiaowei looked at her in concern and before she could ask what happened to her, someone knocked on the door of the chamber.

“Come in!” Yang Ning said and looked up to see who had come to see her in the morning. However, before the person could enter the chamber, she made sure to cover herself completely with the blanket.

” Your Highness! His Highness has sent this for you. He has said that it will be good for your body if you drink it empty stomach.” The maid entered the chamber while carrying a tray in her hands. She greeted Yang Ning with a bow before relaying Zheng Liang’s message to her. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

Yang Ning raised her brows in puzzlement and wondered what Zheng Liang had sent for her. Is it some kind of new medicine or what? She wondered.

The maid handed the tray to Xiaowei, who is Yang Ning’s lady-in-waiting and helps her with her day-to-day menial tasks and serves her. Both maids whispered something to each other before the other maid excused herself and exited the chamber.

“What is it?” Yang Ning couldn’t hold onto her curiosity any longer and ask about what Zheng Liang had sent for her.

Xiaowei handed the small tea cup to Yang Ning and said, ” Your Highness, this is Ginger tea. His highness has said that this will help in soothing your headache and stomach pain.”

“Oh!” Yang Ning exclaimed in a daze while holding the tea cup carefully.

Her lips curled up in a smile at his sweet gesture. He didn’t say anything to her before leaving the chamber and she almost assumed that he was upset by her not-so-improper behavior.

How can he think of sending a cup of ginger tea to soothe her hangover? Not only that, he didn’t reveal to the maids that it is to cure her hangover.

Instead, he mentioned the headache and stomach issues. Everyone here is aware of her weak health and this way there will not be any rumors about her acting like a drunkard last night and ruining their first night.

How sweet of him!

She giggled at his sweet gesture and couldn’t help but appreciate his thoughtful actions.

He keeps an indifferent expression in front of her and speaks coldly as if she has stolen something from him. However, compared to his words, his actions show how much he cares for her.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have controlled herself last night and used that opportunity to take advantage of her. In a world where women have no rights and were treated as a form of pleasure to fulfill men’s desires, he was that rare gem who considers them as human beings and not an object.

This is why he is the male lead of the novel; upright and righteous.

“What a romantic guy he is.” Yang Ning giggled happily while thinking about him asking the maid to send her some ginger tea while wearing his story-cold expressions.

Without hesitating, Yang Ning drank the ginger tea in one shot as if she was taking vodka shots.

The cups were small and cute which reminded her of vodka shot glasses. Moreover, the tea wasn’t too hot and had a mild temperature.

She couldn’t help herself from drinking it in a one-shot. However, as soon as she gulped it all, a frown appeared on her face and she made a funny face before groaning, “Ow! It’s so bitter.”

Xiaowei saw her drinking the ginger tea in one-shot and was horrified by her lady’s not-so-ladylike actions. “Mil....Your Highness, how can you drink tea in such an unrefined manner?”

“Brewing tea and drinking it with elegance is also an art. How can you drink the tea in the cup at once? It’s not an appropriate thing to do.”

“It is not lady-like at all.” She cried in helplessness but Yang Ning ignored her words and said, ” Are you going to keep sobbing in disappointment or will help me get ready for the parade?”

“Aren’t you getting late anymore?” She asked to shut Xiaowei’s mount and divert her with some other matter.

Xiaowei pursed her lips and let out a sigh when her lady didn’t listen to her words.

“Yes. Please come with me. Otherwise we will be late.”
