Chapter 217 - Chu Junyi, Let Me Bear a Son for You

Seeing the two of them entering the building, Baili Anning and Baili Anqing instantly became nervous, especially Baili Anqing, who seemed to not even know how to place her hands and feet.

Shen Ninghua was also surprised. She didn’t expect to meet these two persons. However, after thinking for a moment, she immediately felt that this was not a bad thing. “Your Highnesses, I see that Young Master Qu and Young Master Yang are both downstairs. Why don’t we invite them here?”

Baili Anning paused and said hesitantly, “Ninghua, is this… proper?”

“Although people in Da’an Dynasty pay attention to etiquette, it is not improper for persons who have been engaged to meet each other. Besides, I and the imperial son-in-law are also here. There won’t be a problem.”

“Since that’s the case, then let’s meet them. We can take this chance to know more about them.”

Chu Junyi looked at Shen Ninghua with a hint of grief in his eyes. Back then, he was blocked out for three months before getting married. Bai Ruo and other maids forcefully prevented him from seeing Ninghua. These two were much luckier.

When she looked at Chu Junyi’s eyes, Shen Ninghua paused. Then, she laughed in her heart and her glittering gaze became even more eye-catching. When Qu Yi and Yang Lin came upstairs, they happened to see this scene.

Qu Yi hurriedly lowered his head and dodged. Seeing Baili Anning aside, his expression became a little more awkward. However, when he saw Baili Anning’s beautiful face, he was somewhat reluctant to move away.

Yang Lin, on the other hand, felt as if his brain had been struck by something. It took him a while to react. He followed Qu Yi and bowed. “Greetings, Your Highnesses and Lord Chu.”

“Lord Qu and Lord Yang, spare the ceremonies. The Fairy Winter Jasmine contest is about to start. Quickly take your seats.”

After being seated, they were all absent-minded, except Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi who were looking attentively at the stage.

The two sides of the river were filled with onlookers. Occasionally, waves of cheers could be heard, causing the music on the stage to become louder and more exciting. Suddenly, a figure rose from the ground and flew straight towards the stage on the river.

That person was a woman. She was slender and tall. Five-colored ribbons were wrapped around her shoulders, arms, and waist. Her neck, wrists, and ankles carried seven-colored golden bells. As she flew down from the sky, the dancing ribbons and the rattling golden bells acted in concert with the intense music, causing the people on both banks of the river to be excited!

“Great!”

Shen Ninghua’s expression cleared up as she watched the spectacular appearance on the stage and secretly admired the performer. Judging by the woman’s stature, she must have at least ten years of hard training. “Apparently, the Fairy Winter Jasmine in this contest must be this girl.”

Chu Junyi handed the Jasmine flowers beside his hand to her. “If you like her performance, throw those flowers at her, just do it for fun.”

Shen Ninghua turned around and looked at him reproachfully. “She has just appeared on the stage. No matter what, we need to see her performance in full. Although her appearance just now was stunning, there was still some element of opportunism in it.”

Chu Junyi quickly smiled and begged for mercy, “Yes, yes, Your Highness. You are right.”

Shen Ninghua snorted gently and turned to look at the river.

At this moment, the woman was already dancing. Her eyes were as touching as willows. Her waist was as agile as a cloud snake. She had already thrown the ribbons on her shoulder and waist to the ground, leaving only the longest ribbon on her arm. She was holding the ribbon and rotating it, forming a multicolored halo. Accompanied by the exciting music, the ribbon looked like two divine dragons coiling around each other and directly rushing to the sky as if they were about to break a big hole in the sky.

Shen Ninghua cheered and turned to Qing Que aside and said, “Qing Que, send these flowers to her.”

Qing Que nodded and went forward to take the flowers. But Chu Junyi stopped her.

“No need to take so much trouble if you want to award the flowers to that woman.”

With a light smile, Chu Junyi took out a winter jasmine flower from the flower basket. His eyes narrowed slightly. Then he condensed his energy within his dantian and exerted his internal force to throw the flower out as if he was launching a hidden weapon.

The onlookers could only hear the sound of something piercing through the air. They couldn’t help but look up and saw a shadow flashing past them. When they looked closely, they saw that it was actually a winter jasmine flower flying in the air.

“Great!” Seeing the winter jasmine flower landing steadily on the stage, a roar of applause rang out.

Chu Junyi’s show left Baili Anning and the others dumbfounded.

Shen Ninghua suddenly laughed and her eyes shined brightly, overshadowing the spring scenery.

Yang Lin was held in spell as he stared at Shen Ninghua. When a roar of applause rang out, he regained his senses and didn’t dare to look at her again. At this moment, his heart was pounding like a drum, causing his entire body to tremble.

From the moment he went upstairs, he was stunned by that smile. Seeing her playfully angry expression as she looked at Chu Junyi, deep jealousy arose in his heart. It was clearly the first time he had met her. But it was as if he had loved Shen Ninghua deeply for many years and could not obtain her heart. His entire heart was on her.

He shouldn’t behave like this. He was Princess Anqing’s imperial son-in-law. The two of them were about to get married. Most importantly, Shen Ninghua was Princess Zhaohua. She had already been married! If he was found by others to behave in such an abnormal manner, he would land both himself and others in serious trouble!

Chu Junyi turned around and asked, “Do you want to send another one?”

“No, one flower is enough.” Shen Ninghua replied with a smile.

Chu Junyi nodded. When his gaze turned to Yang Lin, his expression suddenly turned serious. A wave of anger arose in his heart. He was also a man. How could he not understand that kind of gaze? This Yang Lin actually had an improper desire for Ninghua!

Baili Anning watched the performance downstairs in high spirits and did not notice the sudden change in the atmosphere in the room. However, Baili Anqing felt her body tighten and she uncomfortably shivered with cold.

Baili Anning walked over and pulled Shen Ninghua by the arm. “Ninghua, let’s go down and watch the fun. You have Lord Chu throwing flowers for you. But we can only send them ourselves.”

Shen Ninghua turned to look at Qu Yi who had already gotten up along with Baili Anning and blinked slightly. “I am not going down. You can go down by yourself. There are many people. Lord Qu, please take care of Her Highness for a while.”

“Yes, as you wish.” Qu Yi cupped his hands and responded in a deep voice.

Baili Anning’s face suddenly blushed and she said to Shen Ninghua angrily, “I won’t talk to you anymore.” After saying that, she directly walked downstairs.

Qu Yi nodded slightly at Chu Junyi and followed closely behind her.

Seeing their movements, Shen Ninghua’s smile deepened. She turned to look at Baili Anqing and said, “Princess Anqing, do you want to go downstairs and have a walk too? It is really so boring staying upstairs.”

Baili Anqing lowered her head and smiled. Her expression was filled with shyness. She glanced at Yang Lin and said, “It’s fine to go down and have a walk.”

Shen Ninghua smiled. “Then Lord Yang, please take the trouble to accompany Her Highness.”

Yang Lin suddenly raised his head, “Ah… yes, yes…”

Hearing Yang Lin saying “yes”, Baili Anqing’s face turned even redder. She stood up and walked downstairs.

As the four of them went out, Shen Ninghua looked downstairs through the window. “It is really a lively day. The woman who performs on the stage is even more stunning.”

Chu Junyi concealed the dangerous light in his eyes. His sense of guard against Yang Lin arose. He knew he was about to become the Imperial son-in-law of Princess Anqing. But he actually had an improper desire for Ninghua. Such a person should not get anything in the end.

Shen Ninghua turned to look downstairs and saw Yang Lin looking upstairs. She was surprised for a moment but she smiled and nodded at him.

Seeing this, Chu Junyi’s heart turned cold. He reached out his hand and closed the window abruptly.

Yang Lin downstairs was delighted. Just as he felt excited because of the smile from Shen Ninghua, he discovered that the window had suddenly been closed.

Shen Ninghua was also shocked. She turned to look at the smiling Chu Junyi and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I just saw an insect flying in.”

“Insect?” The Spring Hiking Festival has only just come. How come insects start to come out so early?

“Yes, a very annoying insect.” Chu Junyi sat down beside Shen Ninghua and closed the window completely. “Ninghua, the two princesses are gone. Let’s go down, too.”

“Ok.”

Recently, there were too many things to do, and the two of them were very busy. Sometimes, they could only meet at night. Now that they had a great chance to be alone, they were both a little overjoyed.

Chu Junyi held Shen Ninghua’s fingers and felt the soft touch. His heart was full of satisfaction.

Although Shen Ninghua wore a veil, her eyes were enough to seduce a man for the rest of his life. Chu Junyi was intelligent and handsome. His handsome looks and upright posture attracted the attention of countless women. Now, the two of them walked hand in hand and side by side. It was unknown how many people were envious of them.

A child who wore a tiger-skinned octagonal leather hat carried a sugar figurine in his hand and ran forward smiling happily. When he ran to Shen Ninghua’s side, he slipped and fell to the ground.

Shen Ninghua hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. The little boy didn’t cry. Seeing that the sugar figurine in his hand was fine, he continued to keep a smiling face.

Shen Ninghua smiled and straightened the sugar figurine in his hand. She gently said, “Good boy, walk carefully.”

The boy’s parents caught up and hurriedly thanked Shen Ninghua. Shen Ninghua shook her head. She watched as the three of them walked away, and her eyes were filled with warmth.

She had never had a complete family. In her previous life, she had no chance to be a mother because of her injuries. Now that she married Chu Junyi, she finally had a family of her own. She would definitely make up for the regrets of her previous life bit by bit.

Seeing Shen Ninghua in a daze, Chu Junyi tightened his grip on her hand and said, “Ninghua? What’s wrong?”

Shen Ninghua turned her head and her eyes shined with an unprecedented light. “Chu Junyi, let me bear a son for you.”

Chu Junyi was stunned. “…”

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want a son?”

“Yes, I want! It’s just that I’m overjoyed that I don’t know what to say. Ninghua, are you serious?” Chu Junyi stared at Shen Ninghua for fear that she would regret what she had just said.

“Of course I’m serious. Otherwise, why would I say that?”

Chu Junyi was ecstatic. If they weren’t on the street, he would hold Shen Ninghua in his arms and spin around. “Ninghua, let’s go back.”

“Going back? Princess Anning and Princess Anqing are still outside. Why are we going back so early?”

“Let’s have a son!”

Shen Ninghua was speechless. “…”
