Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 219 Bestowing Marriage (2)

Feng Xuxu’s face was instantly covered with blush as she nestled in Dugu Chen’s embrace, not daring to lift her head, quietly listening to the rhythmic and powerful heartbeat of the other.

"The Emperor seems very dissatisfied with the gift you presented today," she said, raising her head, her eyes brimming with water looking intently at Dugu Chen.

Seeing her Little Xuxu with disheveled hair, he reached out his hand and began to groom it anew, his eyes filled with a tender sweetness as if the hair was the most precious treasure in his eyes.

"Yes, I know, the Emperor only cares for himself in his heart, even if that person is his own mother, he would not tolerate her." As if accustomed to the Emperor’s deeds, he spoke without joy or anger; talking about the Emperor, he showed no affection at all, which clearly indicated the saying that the Royal Family has no kinship is absolutely true.

"How did you come to know Dugu Mo?" Thinking of the way Dugu Mo looked at his little woman, a fire blazed in his heart, wishing he could gouge out those eyes.

"I met him today in the Plum Forest, just spoke a few words," Feng Xuxu lifted her eyes to Dugu Chen—could it be that he was jealous?

Upon hearing this, a dark light flashed in Dugu Chen’s eyes. He didn’t say anything, but in an instant, it was as if the person who had been angry just before was not him. He lowered his head to the little woman and said, "I won’t allow anyone to look at you with improper eyes, not even if they are a woman."

Feng Xuxu’s eyes sparkled, and seeing a suspicious blush on Dugu Chen’s ear, she laughed and said, "Hahaha, there’s no one as overbearing as you."

Dugu Chen was stunned by Feng Xuxu’s sudden burst of laughter, his profound gaze fixed on her.

"What’s the matter, looking at me like that?" Feng Xuxu turned her head, her clear beautiful eyes dazzling.

"I am just that overbearing," he said, his fingers caressing Xuxu’s sparkling beautiful lips.

"Cousin has arrived." An inappropriate voice sounded from outside the carriage, awakening the loving couple inside. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"We’re here, you can go back. I’ll be in the Capital City recently, and I will come to you if there’s anything," said Feng Xuxu, reluctantly looking at Dugu Chen and noting that it was getting late. In a few hours, it would be dawn.

"Alright, go back and rest early," he said, lowering his eyes to look at the little woman in his arms.

"You too," she said softly, pecked Dugu Chen on the face, then stood up and got out of the carriage.

Dugu Chen, caught off guard by Feng Xuxu’s kiss, his sculpted face revealing a faint smile, stretched out his hand to touch the place she kissed, his phoenix eyes shimmering an undetectable smile.

Dugu Chen composed himself and whispered softly to the outside: "Back to the residence." At that moment, the crack of a whip was heard outside, and the horses pulled the carriage toward Prince Mei Residence.

As Feng Xuxu stepped onto the threshold of the other courtyard, she turned to watch the carriage starting to move away, then she turned back and entered the other courtyard, returning to the Peony Garden.

Baihe had been waiting in the courtyard all day and finally saw her mistress’s figure, running towards her in three quick steps: "Miss."

"Ah, finally home. I’m dead tired from all the hassle today," she said, taking off her cloak and, without any regard for her appearance, sprawled on the bed.

Seeing her mistress so exhausted, Baihe pouted with concern: "Miss, what’s so good about the Imperial Palace? Just don’t go next time."

Lying on the bed, Feng Xuxu heard Baihe’s complaint and couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

"Silly girl," she scolded Baihe with a smile in her eyes.

Before long, several maids had prepared the bathwater. Feng Xuxu soaked in the tub—if Baihe hadn’t come to add water, she might have fallen asleep there.

The early morning mist dissipated immediately upon meeting the sunlight, revealing the long-missed sunshine.

In the study of the Peony Garden, Feng Xuxu was hunched over the desk, intensely writing. Only close to noon was she finally able to put down her brush, looking at the just completed strategy document, she nodded in satisfaction.
