The Fierce Illegitimate Miss - Chapter 130

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Hearing her order away her guest, Lord Xu did not get up and leave, but said indifferently: “I can’t go.”

Yu Linglong was stunned and then realized that her previous thoughts were too incomplete. It was their wedding night. If Lord Xu did not spend the night in the room, all kinds of rumors would fly around in the morning.

This was the first time she spent the night alone with a man in ancient times.

Yu Linglong didn’t feel embarrassed. He could stay overnight. The room was so big that there were places for him to sleep beside the bed.

Thinking of those countless pairs of prying eyes, Yu Linglong only felt a headache. It was really troublesome to marry him.

Yu Linglong pulled a quilt from the bed and threw it to him: “Find a place and sleep quickly.”

Lord Xu took the quilt, and his stern face showed a little helplessness.

She was making him find a place to sleep? His wedding night was really embarrassing.

He saw that Yu Linglong meant to play a fake couple to the end.

Ignoring Lord Xu’s gloomy face, Yu Linglong pulled back the quilt and went to bed, and lay down comfortably.

Suddenly she remembered the pile of peanuts and lotus seeds that had been swept away by Xuan Cao and the others. She couldn’t help feeling that the life of the ancients was so unhappy. On the wedding night, she couldn’t sleep in a decent bed, and they had to roll on a bunch of hard stuff. She was uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Closing her eyes, she heard the footsteps of Lord Xu approaching, and they did not stop until he reached the bed.

Yu Linglong didn’t open her eyes, and she said coldly, “Do you want to fight again?”

What did this kid want to do? Did he want to take advantage of this opportunity?

Lord Xu was silent. He did not answer, but did not leave, just standing quietly in front of the bed.

After a long while, Yu Linglong barely opened her eyes and looked at him with a bit of confusion.

The inky hair from the person on the bed was spread out like silk, like a waterfall reflecting the delicate, beautiful little face. Her eyes like autumn water were a little sleepy, looking at him lazily. Her petal-like pink lips were slightly open, with a seductive luster under the red candles. Her hands on the outside of the red silk quilt were white and tender as if they could pinch water with a touch.

This was the first time he saw her look like a lazy and loving girl.

He knew that he shouldn’t stand here anymore, but he couldn’t move, so he could only let himself stand there, even if he just looked at her like this.

Yu Linglong was not an ignorant girl. Of course, she understood the meaning of the burning flame in his eyes. She can’t help but frown slightly her face regaining coldness: “Do you plan to just stand all night?”

He seemed to be awakened by her words. His thin lips suddenly tightened, his Adam’s apple slid hard, and he said, “You should go to bed.”

Reaching out his big hand, he seemed to want to touch her face, but he changed his direction in mid-air. He tucked the quilt in for her, and turned, and walked to the couch under the window.

In the room, the two people breathed lightly and heavily. Yu Linglong looked at the burning red candle silently, but suddenly she lost her sleepiness for some reason.

The candle almost burned out unknowingly, but the two of them remained silent.

She knew that he didn’t sleep either.

It was obviously a toiling day and she had a few glasses of wine in the evening. But Yu Linglong was still sober, and she felt a little strange. Why did she suddenly suffer from insomnia?

After thinking for a while, she couldn’t find the answer. Yu Linglong decided that she was unable to sleep because it was a different bed.

Maybe it was because she didn’t eat enough for dinner, so she couldn’t sleep because of hunger?

In short, it must have nothing to do with the man under the window.

While she was thinking, a hint of whiteness appeared on the horizon.

As soon as Yu Linglong was about to fall asleep, she heard a soft voice outside the door: “Prince, princess, the servants are here to get the veil.”

Veil? What veil?

Yu Linglong was in a daze. Before she could understand what was going on, she heard a slight breeze. Lord Xu, who had originally slept on the couch with his clothes, went to bed instantly and lay down beside her.

“Hey! You—” Yu Linglong suddenly awoke, and just as she was about to speak, there was a big hand on her mouth.

Lord Xu gently covered her mouth and whispered, “Shhh.”

Although she didn’t understand what was going on, Yu Linglong knew that she had better listen to him at this moment, so she did not resist and lay silently in bed.

She saw Lord Xu stretch out his hand, pull out a white silk veil from under her pillow, bites his middle finger, and wipe it on the veil a few times.

Yu Linglong finally understood what veil the person outside was talking about.

Her face blushed for no apparent reason. Yu Linglong turned her face away, pretending to look at the burning red candle.

With a scorching hot breath on her face, with his unique mint fragrance, Yu Linglong subconsciously stretched out her hand, trying to push him away.

As soon as the little hand touched his chest, she sensitively felt that his whole body was suddenly tightened, and her breathing was unavoidable as if her touch ignited the flames all over him, and even she who was leaning against him felt hot.

Feeling his hot eyes fall on her face, Yu Linglong was ashamed and annoyed, and whispered: “Stay away from me!”

The cold voice made him awake a little bit, and Lord Xu retreated with some difficulty, and his voice was indescribably muffled: “Come in.”

The door opened gently.

Despite the low-hanging curtains, Yu Linglong still felt a sudden nervousness. If someone found them lying together, wouldn’t the lie be exposed?

Fortunately, the people who came in clearly understood the etiquette. The footsteps walked a few steps away from the bed, and then stopped as if waiting for something.

Lord Xu threw the veil in his hand from the curtain, and whispered: “Get out.”

There was a somewhat suppressed anger in his voice, which naturally made them aware. The person picked up the veil on the ground and said in a low voice, “I’m leaving.”

Yu Linglong let out a long sigh when she heard the sound of the door closing again.

This level was over.

The two of them lay on the bed in a strange posture and did not speak for a long time.

After a while, Lord Xu sighed indifferently, and whispered: “Let’s go to sleep for a while, and soon, I will accompany you into the palace.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

…

She couldn’t sleep anyway. Yu Linglong simply got up and called Xuan Cao and Ling’er to come in to serve and freshen up.

The two maids had dark eyes, and they obviously didn’t sleep well. Their expressions were also weird. They looked at Yu Linglong and Lord Xu as if they wanted to infer something from their faces.

After just a glance, Yu Linglong knew what the two girls were thinking about, and she couldn’t help being angry and said, “What are you doing? Come here!”

Ling’er secretly stuck out her tongue to Xuan Cao, and hurried in with the copper basin, and walked to Yu Linglong’s side.

Helpless, Xuan Cao walked hesitantly to serve Lord Xu.

Yu Linglong saw it in her eyes and said, “Have your usual maid come in and serve.”

Lord Xu said indifferently, “No, she’s fine.”

Hearing Lord Xu’s praise, Xuan Cao was shocked, and quickly knelt down: “I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t dare.”

Yu Linglong frowned slightly, and said, “Why do you kneel at every turn? People can see, and they think my maid is so awkward.”

Xuan Cao hurriedly stood up again, but in front of Lord Xu, she still looked sincere and frightened.

Yu Linglong sighed and said, “Forget it. Let your people come in, lest others say that the new princess will get jealous just one day after coming here and throw all your maids out.”

Lord Xu showed a slight smile on his face and said: “You care about me. How can I be angry?”

Yu Linglong snorted and said, “You’re dreaming!”

The two were just talking, but they looked flirtatious in the eyes of others. Only then were Xuan Cao and Ling’er relieved, and their movements became much quicker.

Because she was a newly married woman and was about to enter the palace, Yu Linglong got ready for more than half an hour before she was ready to go out.

There was no need to wear the heavy phoenix crown on her head, but it was not much more relaxed. Her waterfall-like long hair was combed into a tedious bun, and a whole set of red and gold cat’s-eye hairpins were inserted, and with seven huge cat’s eye gems falling down it. One was the size of a chicken egg in the middle, and it fell between her eyebrows.

After finishing getting dressed, Yu Linglong looked at the beautiful woman in the bronze mirror and couldn’t help sighing. She was beautiful, but the price paid was too great.

Lord Xu changed into a moon-white silver-thread embroidered dragon brocade robe, tied his hair with a black golden crown. He looked plump and graceful, with a magnificent appearance, and restored his suave and romantic look in the daytime.

When the two walked to the door, Lord Xu suddenly paused, stretched out his hand to hold Yu Linglong’s hand, and then walked out of the room, as if it were a natural thing.

Yu Linglong cursed secretly from the bottom of her heart. This guy was sure that she wouldn’t leave him behind, so he took advantage of it!

There were so many eyes looking at them openly and secretly. Yu Linglong had to grit her teeth secretly and followed Lord Xu out with a somewhat stiff expression.

In the early morning sun, the embroidery on Lord Xu’s chest glowed with silver, brilliant and dazzling, giving his long figure a layer of unreal brilliance. Yu Linglong beside him wore a bright red flying luan dress and a ferret cloak. Her long and slender figure was glamorous and compelling like she held a kind of invisible power.

The maids and servants in the yard bowed their heads respectfully: “Prince, princess.”

Yu Linglong spoke with a cold face, but Lord Xu waved his hand with a smile on his face: “Get up, everyone. To pass on my words, everyone will be rewarded ten taels of silver!”

The servants suddenly became happy, and knelt down to thank them: “The servants and maids thank the prince and the princess for the reward!”

Everyone could tell that the master was in a good mood because even the servants and maids were rewarded.

Lord Xu looked back at Yu Linglong with affection on his backlit handsome face, and said softly, “Let’s go.”

Although reason told her that Lord Xu was only acting for people, Yu Linglong’s heart was still slightly moved.

It can only be said that his handsome face was really lethal. In many cases, even she couldn’t tell whether it was real or not.

Yu Linglong gathered her mind, nodded lightly, and walked out side by side with him.

Because he entered the palace with Yu Linglong, Lord Xu did not ride a horse but went on a carriage with Yu Linglong.

As soon as the curtain was put down, Yu Linglong slapped his hand away, and said in a low voice, “Stop tugging me in the future!”

Lord Xu’s face returned to his coldness, and he said, “If this is not the case, the news of Princess Xu’s fall from favor will be spread everywhere. Is this what you want?”

Yu Linglong was speechless, and she looked at Lord Xu with a little annoyance: “You did it on purpose!”

Lord Xu stretched out his hand to touch the fur on her mink hat, and sighed: “You always think of me like this.”

Yu Linglong snorted heavily and turned her face away to ignore him.

Suddenly, his warm hand held her, and his deep but firm voice echoed in the small carriage: “Linglong, one day you will understand what I want for you. Even if you are a piece of ice, I will warm you up!”

Yu Linglong wanted to withdraw her hand but was held tightly by him. His face was resolute in a way that she had never seen before as if he was making the most important vow in the world.

Seeing his serious expression, Yu Linglong felt a pain in her heart for no reason.

Once there was a person who spoke sweet words to her and they made promises to each other, but what happened later? He killed her with his own hands!

She could no longer allow herself to accept someone. She can’t be hurt twice by the same sharp sword!

Withdrawing his hand decisively, Yu Linglong said coldly: “If you say something like this, get off the carriage immediately!”

Lord Xu tightened his thin lips and said, “Okay, I won’t say anything.”

Immediately afterward, he added: “I will show it to you!”

Yu Linglong’s face was cold as if she didn’t hear it at all.

They were silent the rest of the way.

The carriage sparkled and carried them slowly into the palace gate.

Lord Xu raised the curtains and said softly, “This is the palace.”

His voice had mixed emotions of sighs, nostalgia, and resentment.

Yu Linglong remembered what Mama Liu had said, and she couldn’t help being silent.

She could understand Lord Xu’s emotions. This was where he was born and where he lived for seven years. It was not surprising that he had feelings for this place.

But it was also this place that caused him to lose his mother and at the same time his freedom. It was in this place that the emperor personally made an order to send him to the Mongols. Since then, his homeland was far away, and his relatives were separated from him by thousands of mountains and rivers.

There were too many pasts in his body, but he used two different masks to bury all his thoughts. Others saw him as chic, suave, unruly, and completely joyful and happy, and in front of her, he might reveal a little of his own nature: noble, cold, persevering, domineering, and full of mysterious power.

For a moment, she was suddenly curious. What kind of past did he have, and how did that sharpen him into what he is now? How did he, who was only twenty years old, become the leader of the men in black with a strong character and tenacity in martial arts?

Countless questions lingered in her mind, but she did not ask any questions after all.

She knew that if she asked, he would tell her, but she didn’t want to ask.

For some things, once she knew the answer, she would have no choice but to fall.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
