Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

After Sheng Yinping entered the room, she turned around and closed the door, saying to He Jinling, "I have something to discuss with your young master. Please leave first."

Since Chen Lang was in the room, He Jinling had nothing to worry about and bowed and retreated.

After closing the door, Sheng Yinping came to the table and touched the teapot on the table. It was hot.

A hint of amusement flashed across his eyes. After pouring himself a cup of hot tea, he walked to the bed with the cup in his hand and just stared at Chen Lang without saying a word.

Chen Lang looked haggard, especially his lips, which were dry and flaky, just like someone with a cold.

"How long do you want to see me?" Chen Lang felt a little uncomfortable under Sheng Yinping's gaze. He pulled the quilt up to cover most of his face and said, "I have a cold. It's contagious even if I breathe it."

"What is a cold?" Sheng Yinping asked.

"It's just a cold, that's what people call it in the south." Chen Lang said in a muffled voice.

Sheng Yinping took a sip of hot tea and said, "If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's decree, do you think I would be willing to stay up so early in the morning to come see you?"

Chen Lang said: "Since you have seen it, please go back."

Sheng Yinping put down the teacup and said with a half-smile, "I've only read half of it. It will be hard to report back."

Chen Lang asked, "What do you mean?"

Sheng Yinping poked the bulging quilt with her finger and said, "Although I'm still a little girl, I've seen what men look like when they get up early in the morning."

"You're... exaggerating."

Chen Lang asked, "Is it not okay to be gifted?"

"Besides, you're just a little girl, aren't you ashamed to say such things?"

Sheng Yinping said, "We Khitan women are not like your Southern Dynasty women. We don't have so many requirements."

"Please lift the quilt and let me take a look."

"I have to finish reading your whole thing before I can go back and report."

Chen Lang's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Miss Yinping, do you have any quirks? You came here so early in the morning to see an old man sleeping."

"I'm married now and I'm telling you, it's impossible for us to..."

Sheng Yinping sneered and said, "Don't try to be so rude. I don't like you."

"Hurry up and open it. I'll leave after you've read it."

Chen Lang said: "Men have reactions when they wake up in the morning."

"I know. Didn't I just tell you? I've seen it."

"I just think that this is too abnormal of you." Sheng Yinping said.

Chen Lang sighed and said, "Well, since Miss Yinping insists, I'll have to perform my ugly act."

"But I hope Miss Yinping can keep it a secret for me after reading it."

Sheng Yinping rolled her eyes and ignored it.

Chen Lang slowly lifted the quilt.

Princess Yongjia, who was hiding under the quilt, grinned at Sheng Yinping and said, "Sister Yinping, good morning."

Sheng Yinping sighed, left the bed, and said, "You really know how to have fun."

Chen Lang said, "Miss Yinping, you've finished watching. Can we leave now?"

Sheng Yinping said: "No."

"Sister Ying'er, please go out first. I have something to tell this guy."

Chen Lang said, "You're not following the rules. Didn't you agree to leave after the show?"

"You believe everything a woman says? Are you so naive?" Sheng Yinping said.

Chen Lang was silent for a while, then slowly uttered a word: "Fuck."

Ying'er walked down from the bed with her bare feet, grabbed the bed sheet beside her and wrapped it around her delicate body which was only wearing a bra and shorts. Her face was as red as the autumn sunset, and she walked out quickly with her head down and on tiptoe.

Sheng Yinping said: "Wait."

"What's wrong?" Ying'er asked.

Sheng Yinping walked over, lifted the bed sheet, and looked at Ying'er's chest: "Your clothes... are quite unique."

Ying Er smiled awkwardly and said, "This is called a bra. If you like it, I'll give you one later."

Sheng Yinping reached out and pinched it, saying, "Not bad, thank you."

The sudden attack made Ying'er's already rosy cheeks even redder, as if blood was about to ooze out. She hurriedly wrapped herself up and said, "I'm leaving first."

After saying that, she opened the door and shouted "Come here", and two palace maids immediately came over and took turns carrying Ying'er back to the villa.

Inside the house, Sheng Yinping looked at Chen Lang again and asked, "Do you know what happened last night?"

Chen Lang shook his head: "I'm busy with my work, so why would I care about what's going on outside?"

"What's wrong?"

Sheng Yinping said, "It's nothing, actually. Some of Xiao Huaiyi's men died, and some of Feihu Division's spies died."

"More than ten houses were burned down, and... Yelu Zongwang is missing."

Chen Lang let out a cry, and nothing else happened.

However, Chen Lang believed that none of his words could be hidden from this little girl.

If she really came to arrest him, she wouldn't have been held back outside by He Jinling.

The reason why he endured He Jinling's "nagging" was actually to buy time for himself in disguise.

The only uncertainty is whether Sheng Yinping did this for personal reasons or at the instruction of the Empress Dowager.

After a long silence, Sheng Yinping spoke again, "When did you and the princess get together?"

Chen Lang sighed, "How can I put it?"

"Time~grows love."

However, Sheng Yinping didn't grasp the subtle meaning of Chen Lang's words. She tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "That makes sense. In a foreign country, you're the only person I can trust. Plus, you're pretty, talented, and good at business. It's easy for girls to be attracted to you."

Chen Lang thought, this is what they call having a great scholar endorse me.

I just said four words and Sheng Yinping started to imagine a lot of them.

"But have you ever thought that the princess is no longer a virgin, and marrying a prince from our dynasty would be an extremely serious diplomatic incident," Sheng Yinping said.

Chen Lang said, "Because I never thought of marrying Yongjia to Yelu Zaixian from the beginning. Besides, you also said that Yelu Zaixian would not live long."

"Since this marriage is doomed to fail, it wouldn't be a big deal if I took some things in advance."

Sheng Yinping sighed and said, "You Southern Dynasty people are truly... cunning and shameless."

Chen Lang chuckled and said, "Same here."

Sheng Yinping said: "But you are right, this marriage will most likely be cancelled."

"Last night, there was such a big commotion in the capital. The Feihu Division had a conflict with the military, and it also involved Yelu Zongwang, who had disappeared for over twenty years. No one in the court, civil or military, was interested in any marriage."

Chen Lang said, "As long as there is no official decree, this matter will remain uncertain. I am willing to wait."

Sheng Yinping stood up and walked out, "Then you should wait obediently in the Honglu Temple."

“I will come again.”

Chen Lang leaned against the headboard, feeling exhausted but not sleepy at all. He looked calm, but his mind was a mess.

He needs time to gather his thoughts and think about his next move.

On the other hand, Yelu Xiuge was stunned when he learned that Chen Lang had been in the Honglu Temple all night.

This answer was given by Sheng Yinping. No matter who he questioned, he would not question Sheng Yinping, nor could he question Sheng Yinping.

Could it be that I thought wrong?
