Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Shen Yunheng's words seemed to have lost their usual decisiveness and clarity, and carried a subtle hesitation: "I haven't had dinner yet, and I haven't taken the medicine yet."

"It turns out that His Highness also has an idea in mind."

The maid behind Meng Tingyue placed the food box on the small table beside her.

Shen Yunheng knew that he was really busy today and had forgotten about it. He slowly stood up from the desk, stretched out his long legs, and in a few steps he sat down at the small table. His demeanor revealed a natural and graceful aura.

On the small table, several simple yet exquisite dishes were quietly placed, exuding an enticing aroma.

Looking at the dishes, he suddenly felt a little hungry.

The maid skillfully picked up the empty food box and slowly moved it aside.

Shen Yunheng picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat. His eating manners were not very elegant, as if it was a habit he developed in the military camp. In a short while, half of the dishes on the table were empty.

Seeing this, Meng Tingyue skillfully scooped soup from the soup bowl and handed it to Shen Yunheng.

He took it without hesitation, tilted his head back and drank the soup in one gulp.

Meng Tingyue's pupils trembled slightly, and her voice was filled with disbelief, "Husband, don't you feel hot?"

Shen Yunheng said succinctly, "I don't think so."

Meng Tingyue was silent for a moment, her fingertips fell on the porcelain bowl, feeling the heat of the soup, and fell silent.

After Shen Yunheng finished his meal, Meng Tingyue brought the bitter medicine to him.

Shen Yunheng caught it steadily with his big hand and drank it in one gulp without any hesitation.

Meng Tingyue then handed over a small plate of candied fruit. Shen Yunheng picked up one at random and put it in his mouth. Sweetness instantly bloomed on his tongue.

Seeing this, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Meng Tingyue's lips.

Shen Yunheng looked at the smile on her lips, feeling the joy coming from her. He pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes became more intense.

Meng Tingyue lightly glanced at the pile of official documents on the desk, then she withdrew her gaze and advised, "I know Your Highness is very busy with official duties, but don't forget the time. Rest early. Your health is the most important thing."

Shen Yunheng's eyes followed her figure as she walked away, until the figure faded from his sight, but his heart seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread, unable to calm down.

This is why he is unwilling to stop what he is doing midway.

He gently closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if to temporarily isolate himself from all the troubles.

When he opened them again, his eyes were filled with determination, and he buried his head again in dealing with the official business piled on his desk.

After Shen Yunheng finished his tedious official business, he quietly returned to the house in the night. Meng Tingyue had already fallen asleep.

Perhaps because the weather was getting warmer, the quilt was a little thick. Meng Tingyue unconsciously lifted a corner of the quilt, revealing a soft neck. The red rope around her neck made her skin look even smoother.

Shen Yunheng stared quietly for a moment, and gentle ripples arose in his heart.

After changing into pajamas, he walked into the room again, his eyes involuntarily attracted by the lazy scene on the bed.

At this time, Meng Tingyue had kicked the bedding aside, half-turned on her side, one hand tightly holding the remaining bedding, while the other leg was casually placed on the bedding.

Seeing this, Shen Yunheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

He tiptoed to the bedside and carefully covered Meng Tingyue with the quilt that had slipped off. His movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing her sweet dream.

Shen Yunheng gently tucked in the quilt for Meng Tingyue and then slowly lay down himself not long after.

The person next to him seemed to be looking for something in a dream. She turned over and moved closer to him inadvertently, and her slender hands rested on his chest inadvertently.

Shen Yunheng's black eyes opened quietly in the night, like a deep ink pool, staring at the snow-white wrist that inadvertently invaded his world.

He closed his eyes heavily, trying his best to calm his slightly disordered breathing.

After a moment's silence, he finally couldn't help but turn sideways and hug the restless beauty tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

He took a deep breath, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of her hair. He slowly fell asleep with this fragrance.

The next day.

When Meng Tingyue woke up, she felt a slight pain in her right arm and could not help but rub it gently to relieve the discomfort.

Nanny Qin, who was carefully tending to her, saw this and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes: "Is the Crown Princess's right arm injured?"

Meng Tingyue shook her head. Even though she didn't know what was wrong with her, she still comforted Nanny Qin softly, "Maybe you pressed your right arm while sleeping last night, so it's a little sore, but it's okay. A little massage will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Qin's worries were still not completely dispelled. She still insisted, "How about we ask a doctor to come and take a look? Or, should we put our trip to Tianfu Temple on hold for now?"

"Mammy, I'm a doctor myself. I know what's going on. This little ailment won't cause any trouble."

"It's really hard for me, Crown Princess. I must tell you. I believe Princess Luojia will understand."

Meng Tingyue raised her lips and smiled, "Madam, please be at ease. If I were really unwell, I wouldn't force myself to stay strong."

At the end of the Chen hour, several carriages stopped leisurely in front of the majestic gate of the Prince's Mansion.

"Empress sister-in-law!" Princess Luo Jia jumped off the carriage with a nimble figure and ran towards Meng Tingyue with a smile on her face. Her joy was beyond words.

At the same time, the guests in the other carriages also opened the curtains to greet Meng Tingyue.

Meng Tingyue identified these people and recognized their identities.

"Sister-in-law, how are you?" Qiao Yanfeng's voice came from a carriage.

"Sister-in-law, please sit with me." Princess Luojia took her hand and slowly walked towards the carriage.

Tianfu Temple was some distance away from the capital, and when the group arrived, it was already high in the sky and past noon.

"Sister-in-law, you must try the vegetarian food from Tianfu Temple later. It has a unique flavor that will surely leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste." Princess Luojia's words were filled with anticipation and playfulness.

"Okay." Meng Tingyue felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart.

Princess Luojia chirped like a little sparrow all the way, so Meng Tingyue didn't feel bored on the road.

Princess Luojia held Meng Tingyue's hand tightly and walked up the bluestone stairs to Tianfu Temple step by step.

At noon, the temple was unusually quiet, with few pilgrims. The group first enjoyed the temple's renowned vegetarian meal before heading into the main hall for prayer.

Just as Princess Luojia said, the vegetarian food in the temple tasted really good and was very much to Meng Tingyue's liking.

The young men who came with Qiao Yanfeng all came with their families.

The original intention of the young masters was not to pray for blessings, but they also asked for a marriage fortune under Qiao Yanfeng's persuasion.

"Prince Qiao, we have all prayed, why don't you come and draw a fortune to see when you and Princess Luojia will be able to achieve a happy ending."

The prime minister's son was the first to bring up the topic, his tone full of teasing and anticipation, causing people around him to laugh.

Just as Qiao Yanfeng was about to speak, a clear voice with a hint of arrogance interrupted him.

Princess Luojia walked out of the palace gracefully, with displeasure flashing in her eyes.

"Go away, go away. Whoever wants to marry him, I won't marry him."
