The disfigured prince's time-traveling concubine

With a creaking sound, the door was slowly pushed open from the inside. Feng Muyan lowered his head slightly and saw the pair of dark eyes. His slightly wrinkled brows gradually calmed down. He slowly squatted in front of her and said, "Li'er, I'll take you to a place."

Song Yunli nodded and wanted to stand up, but due to squatting for too long, her legs were numb and felt like being pricked by needles when she touched the ground. She tried several times but failed each time.

"Hehe..." Feng Muyan chuckled, causing Song Yunli to blush and say angrily: "No, no!" Feng Muyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and patted his shoulder with his big, bony hands. "I wanted to carry you on my back, but you..."

"I want to go!" Song Yunli stretched out her little hand and covered Feng Muyan's mouth at lightning speed. When he realized what she had done, Song Yunli quickly withdrew her chubby little hand like a fox whose tail was stepped on, but the remaining warmth in her palm reminded her of the accident just now.

Feng Muyan was stunned for a moment, then he picked up Song Yunli and put her on his back. He slowly stood up and said, "Li'er, have you gained weight again? If you continue like this, I won't be able to carry you."

Song Yunli looked at her chubby little hands and said guiltily, "How can they be fat?"

Feng Muyan carried Song Yunli on his back to the largest living water lake in the palace. The bright moonlight was reflected on the sparkling lake, gathering and dispersing from time to time, which was very beautiful against the quiet night. Only occasionally, one could hear the sound of a few frogs jumping into the lake.

"Li'er, is your leg okay?" Feng Muyan asked in a low voice. Song Yunli kicked her leg lightly, but she didn't feel any numbness or pain, so she nodded heavily. Her chin accidentally hit Feng Muyan's shoulder, and her upper and lower teeth clicked together, and she felt that her teeth were a little loose.

Feng Muyan put Song Yunli on the ground, held her hand and walked towards an object that looked like a small rockery not far away. When they got closer, Song Yunli broke free from Feng Muyan's hand, circled around the small rockery for many times, and then turned back excitedly and said, "Brother Mu, there are so many lanterns!"

Feng Muyan took out a tinder from his sleeve pocket, lit two lanterns and handed them to Song Yunli, saying calmly, "Be careful when you light the lanterns, don't let them fall into the lake."

Watching the lanterns drifting away with the water, Song Yunli felt mixed emotions. The last time she released lanterns was in her previous life. She even had a vague memory of what she looked like in her previous life. At that time, she was alone in everything she did, with no one to rely on or trust. But this life was different. She was protected by too many people, and she was squandering this happiness recklessly, but what she could do was pitifully little.

"Is that girl the Ninth Prince's new wife?" Queen Shen Yingjun asked without any joy or anger on her face. She placed her bare hand covered with armor on Li Yue's arm, but she did not stop.

"Your Highness, I don't know for sure either." Li Yue lowered her head and answered carefully, but she didn't expect to be slapped to the ground by a loud slap. After she recovered, she hurriedly crawled to Shen Yingjun's feet and kowtowed, saying, "I deserve to die, please forgive me, Your Highness! I will check tomorrow!"

"Liyue, I have given you so many opportunities, why can't you learn to be smart?" Shen Yingjun stretched out her hand and lifted Liyue's chin. The tip of the fingertip slowly slid from Liyue's chin to her fair neck. Liyue was so scared that she trembled and shook her head, "Please forgive me, Madam..."

"Get up. Look how scared you are. Come with me and walk to the front." Shen Yingjun withdrew her hand with a sneer and turned to walk towards Feng Muyan. "Shui Mochen, Shui Mochen, I have to help you take good care of your son, right? Otherwise, you will be too peaceful in the underworld, and I would feel guilty towards you."

"Li'er, let's go back..." Looking at the lanterns all over the lake, Feng Muyan's faint smile froze. This girl has put up more than twenty lanterns and she's not tired of it yet.

"Brother Mu, please let Li'er release a few more, please!" Song Yunli clasped her hands together in front of her chest, looking at Feng Muyan with longing eyes.
