Certainly.
“If it had gone as planned, Miao Linglong would have taken action against Liu Yan’er. However, the imperial decree was issued ahead of schedule, undoubtedly disrupting Miao Linglong’s plans!
The current reality is this: Liu Yan’er achieved victory through cunning!
“One primary consort, one side consort; it seems there might be a competition in the future,” Zhang Miaozhen was very glad to have escaped this constraint.
On the Qixi Festival, when she got into trouble, her mood was initially very low, feeling that life was hopeless.
Fortunately, Liu Shimei pulled her up from the abyss. Now, not thinking about her lifelong matters, but looking at it from a distance, she felt a lingering fear.
If she became the side consort of the Crown Prince, she would have to face the scheming of Liu Yan’er and Miao Linglong in the future.
Is that how one should live?
Even more frightening, both Liu Yan’er and Miao Linglong were ruthless; one wouldn’t know when their lives might be in danger!
Liu Shimei smiled and said, “Everyone has their fate. Some people, driven by greed, pursue the highest position without realizing that the higher you climb, the colder it gets, and it’s a heart-stopping journey! The higher you climb, the more tragic the fall!”
Zhang Miaozhen met her gaze.
Both were women who almost married the Crown Prince, and they smiled at each other.
Huangfu Lingyao stood on the side, watching, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart: “My wife is exchanging flirtatious glances with someone else!”
But he couldn’t stop his wife from making friends, so he found a perfect reason to divert them, “Wife, hurry and change your shoes! It’s getting cold, easy to get sick, just as you said!”
Zhang Miaozhen lowered her head to look at Liu Shimei’s feet and said, “Yes, Shimei, you should hurry and change. The Crown Prince has selected his concubines, and your wedding date is approaching. The final touches on your bridal gown are almost done. I’ll continue to embroider it for you! After you have a look, if you find anything not satisfactory, we can make adjustments.”
After saying this, she returned to her room.
Liu Shimei thought, ‘A friend who would make your wedding gown, why is Zhang Miaozhen so gentle?’
Such a gentle girl, what kind of good husband will she find in the future?
She must keep an eye on Zhang Miaozhen!
Meanwhile, Huangfu Lingyao picked up Liu Shimei and said, “Wife, it’s not convenient to walk with wet shoes. Let me carry you to change them!”
Without another word, he carried her like a princess!
Liu Shimei widened her eyes. In order to maintain her balance, she could only hold onto his neck to steady herself, her face slightly blushing.
Huangfu Lingyao particularly liked this posture, as if he had lifted the whole world by carrying his wife!
He chuckled, “Wife, you’re so light!”
Liu Shimei didn’t think of herself as particularly light, but seeing him carry her so steadily, it was as if he held a ball of cotton.
She sighed and said, “It’s because you’re strong.”
Whether it was because she was light or he was strong, it was still the princess carry!
Huangfu Lingyao carried Liu Shimei back to her room, carefully placing her on a chair before turning to find her shoes.
Sticking close to her all day, he was familiar with her room, accurately retrieving a clean pair of shoes from the wardrobe and presenting them to her.
Wearing wet embroidered shoes was indeed uncomfortable, and Liu Shimei had already taken off both her shoes and socks.
When Huangfu Lingyao returned, what he saw was a pair of delicate feet stepping on the damp shoes.
In that moment, his heart felt like it had been struck by something!
Not the first time seeing them, and they didn’t look extraordinary when not seen, but every time he saw these feet, he would have this feeling —
Wishing he could cradle these feet in his arms, even if they were dirty, an urge to kiss them!
Of course, afraid of startling Liu Shimei, he couldn’t act too boldly. He squatted down in front of her and used a dry cloth to wipe her feet.
“Lingyao, I can do it myself.”
Liu Shimei felt a bit embarrassed, but her feet were firmly held in his palms!
