Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 410 The Conspiracy Behind Xiu Yang’s Renewed Favor (4)

Mei Lenglei turned back to glance at Baihe and smiled as she tapped Baihe’s forehead, "The princess and Prince went with the child to the mountains to enjoy the cool early in the morning."

"Oh, no wonder I couldn’t find them!" She pouted enviously at the thought of the Prince and princess.

Seeing the little girl’s disappointed expression, Lenglei nudged the person next to her with her elbow, "What, could it be that you’re in the throes of spring?"

Baihe snapped back to reality, blinked her apricot eyes, and her face turned red with embarrassment: "Mei sister, you’re really bad, I’m not at all."

"Haha, if you’re not, then why is your face red?"

"Sister..." She stomped her foot and turned her body away, puffing her cheeks in anger.

"Ai, Baihe sister? Angry? Sister was just joking with you, you took it seriously," Mei Lenglei leaned out, looking at Baihe with her lips high and pouting, and tugged at her sleeve.

"Humph, Mei sister, be careful or I’ll snitch to Xuan Yue!" Baihe said, watching Mei Lenglei’s face sneakily smiling.

"Snitch... what? I don’t have any secrets," Mei Lenglei replied, her eyes darting about unnaturally.

Baihe saw Mei sister’s face slowly turn redder, even the roots of her ears turned bright red. She stretched out her hand and smiled, pointed at her, "Look, look, you won’t even admit you like Xuan Yue, your face is all red, and you can’t even look at me... uh."

Before Baihe could finish, she covered Baihe’s mouth with her hand, looked around to make sure no one was there, and only then did she let her heart settle, "You mustn’t talk nonsense!"

Rolling her eyes, "I didn’t talk nonsense, isn’t that garment in your room meant for Xuan Yue? You’ve been hiding and holding onto it, but Bamboo sister and I saw it long ago."

"Bamboo sister also knows, who else is aware?" Mei Lenglei hadn’t expected her little secret to be uncovered, her face reddened even more, as though blood would drip from it.

"Hee hee, don’t worry, Mei sister, only Bamboo sister and I know, no one else does," Baihe reassured her.

"You really have a firm grip on it," she said shyly, giving her a bashful glance and a sheepish laugh.

Two figures hid in the space, watching the conversation between the two girls outside, and shared a smile.

"Chen, do you think these little girls have all been bitten by the spring bug?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at the man next to her.

Dugu Chen shook his head and embraced the woman next to him, "Wife, if they’ve all been bitten by the spring bug, have you?"

Feng Xuxu twitched the corners of her mouth several times, glaring at him: "Humph, before I could get afflicted by spring fever, this pig here has already uprooted everything."

Dugu Chen, with his wife glaring fiercely at him, pinched the scant flesh on his face, "Are you a cabbage, wife?"

"..." She rolled her eyes, rendered speechless at him, always feeling like the one at a disadvantage.

"Wife, what do you say about us drawing them a mandarin duck score?" he said, considering that the young lads by his side were not young anymore, had been with him for years, and it was time for them to start families.

"What if we match them wrongly? Wouldn’t that ruin a pair of fated lovers?"

"What if we match them correctly? Wouldn’t that make a pair of fated lovers?"

Feng Xuxu looked at him speechlessly, sighed, "Alright, I hope it forms a good family."

"Wrong, four families." Dugu Chen corrected his wife with a shake of his finger.

"There seems to be one missing!" She remembered her five girls, realizing it wouldn’t be fair to anyone to have a mismatch.

"Let’s find her a man who will marry into the family!" Dugu Chen raised an eyebrow, sporting a mischievous grin, as if to say, ’Look at me, smart, right? Hurry up and praise me.’

Feng Xuxu watched his childish expression and was even more lost for words.

A few guards and maids had their lifelong affairs decided in this lighthearted conversation by their carefree masters; and for a long time to come, five pairs of people led miserable lives, forced by necessity and unbeknownst to their masters, wrong rides in bridal sedans, but marrying the right grooms.

"Let’s go, we’ve been out for quite a while now." Feng Xuxu stood up, picked up the self-entertaining Yueyue, and gently kissed her pink cheek.

Dugu Chen picked up his son from the ground, and the four of them left the space.

"Princess." Baihe and Mei Lenglei were talking when they saw the princess just past the Moon Gate. Baihe immediately crossed Mei Lenglei, walked up quickly, and picked up the Little Crown Prince from the princess’s arms.

Mei Lenglei also stepped forward quickly and took the Little Crown Prince from the Prince’s arms.

"Princess, this is a written message from Young Master Jueqing by Fei Ying," she said, taking out a note from her belt and handing it to the princess.

Feng Xuxu furrowed her brows, what was so urgent that he had to use the eagle she gave him for messages? This eagle was a fledgling Xiaobai had tamed in the mountains, raised in the space with spiritual water, growing intelligent enough to understand human speech, an invaluable messenger, fast and secure. She had told her cousin to use it only in emergencies, and now the eagle was being used to send a message—could there be any trouble at Beitang? With this anxious thought, she hurriedly opened the note.

Dugu Chen saw his wife’s expression darken and took the note to glance at it, then sneered, "The Emperor is truly insatiable."
