The Slender Waist-Chapter 637 - 460 Truly Enthralling

Feng Yun pinched her cheek with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

"When Xiaoman looks like this, that’s what you call beautiful."

This gesture of the wife was too doting.

Xiaoman was stunned.

After a long while, her cheeks flushed with redness.

"The wife is the most beautiful, no one can match the beauty of my wife, not even the beauties of Huaxi, or Jin Shuang and Yin Shuang, otherwise, they wouldn’t have dazzled the prince into confusion..."

She said subconsciously, as if to encourage herself.

"Wife, teach me how to become beautiful? Like you, like Jin Shuang and Yin Shuang..."

The young lady was very sensitive, and although she was naive, she also knew that a woman’s beauty was not just about facial features and appearance, there was something else mixed in...

She didn’t understand, and sought to learn.

Feng Yun smiled, "When you grow up a little more and get married, you will naturally understand."

Xiaoman was dazed.

Her simple mind found it very hard to digest this sentence.

But she understood the implication of Zuo Zhong talking about marriage.

If he were to marry someone else, from then on, her unrequited love would have no outlet.

"Wife..."

Xiaoman slowly knelt down in front of Feng Yun.

Kneeling, she looked at her earnestly.

"Teach me, please..."

Feng Yun, who had been holding back a laugh for so long, finally couldn’t help but chuckle.

"So our Xiaoman wants to marry the Left Guard, huh?"

Xiaoman’s face flushed, "I, I..."

"Don’t want to?" Feng Yun teased her.

"...I do, wife, I really do." Xiaoman nodded earnestly, embarrassed to the point of wishing she could crawl into a hole.

Her voice was weak from nervousness, powerless and helpless.

A smile flickered unintentionally in the depths of Feng Yun’s eyes.

Looking at Xiaoman, she couldn’t help but think of Feng Yun from her past life.

Back then, a young girl’s heart, wild, headstrong, also ignorant and brave, thinking that a marriage contract ensured everything, eagerly waiting to become the Princess of Jingling, treating Xiao Cheng as her everything...

Now, she had completed a weary and changed lifetime.

Looking back at such innocence...

It was worth respecting.

She pulled Xiaoman over, looked down at her,

"I understand your feelings. You are my person, and I will naturally help you. The water that feeds the fields of my own estate should not flow into others’; since the prince has entrusted this matter to me, rest assured..."

Thinking of Zuo Zhong being likened to "field-watering", Xiaoman pursed her lips, wanted to laugh, but didn’t, saying with slight worry:

"I don’t know what Big Brother Zuo thinks, whether he has a woman he fancies..."

Adoring someone made her less confident and afraid to insist.

Feng Yun understood all this and glanced at her, saying:

"Wait for tonight’s camp set up, and I’ll help you inquire."

-

The troop kept moving quickly without stopping for a break at noon, Feng Yun had two pancakes from her water bag on the carriage, but by dusk, she was hungry again.

Since no suitable campsite had been found, the troops walked for about half an hour more, until the sun had set and the sky darkened, then they stopped to make a fire for cooking.

The campsite was chosen on a narrow path inside the mountains, flat and dry, positioned high with a broad view, and below to the left flowed a tributary of the Baihe river, with fresh, streaming water.

Seeing this, Feng Yun knew it was a place that marchers and warriors would choose.

Xiaoman was somewhat curious, peering out at the sky where stars and moons shone bright.

"Are we going to stay here tonight?"

Feng Yun hummed in affirmation, asking Xiaoman to take out some of the jerky she had brought from Huaxi.

"Give one bag to the Grand Princess and the Lord of Pingyuan County."

"This bag is for His Majesty."

"This bag is for Sister from the Pei Family..."

She had prepared well for the journey, having brought ample food, but it was not enough to withstand the appetites of so many people.

Therefore, at Baihe, Feng Yun replenished some food, and with some county towns along the way where one could buy supplies, there was no need for her to be frugal.

Xiaoman complied, sending Huanhuan and Peipei to deliver the bags while she waited by Feng Yun’s side.

That look, as if she was glued to her...

Feng Yun was aware of her intent.

"Bring another bag of jerky for me. I’m going to find the prince..."

Zuo Zhong and Jiu You mostly stayed by Pei Jue’s side.

By this time, Feng Yun already had a plan in mind.

She dismounted with the provisions, looking around for Pei Jue’s figure.

The mountain wind was howling, the wilderness quiet, with voices of people talking near and far.

After such a long walk, everyone was tired.

Some came down to watch the night view, some chatted merrily by the lit bonfires, and some walked in groups to the distant woods to "relieve themselves"...

Ye Chuang, upon seeing Feng Yun approaching, pointed.

"Wife, the prince has gone over there to feed the horses."

Pei Jue held great affection for Ta Xue.

He considered it a brother who had been through life and death with him.

Just as Feng Yun felt about her baby crocodile, even if there were servants to attend to it, whenever there was a chance, she would personally take care...
