For a moment, Gu Changge paused the action of reaching to push the door open, pricking up her ears.
Quietly, she wanted to listen to the situation between the two people…
In the courtyard, Liu Qingqing’s expression was as usual as she stood in front of the main house and said, “Has the Little Prince come to an understanding?”
“How could Sister call me in such a distant manner?”
“Was it not because of Sister’s words yesterday that Yue’er understood?”
“Isn’t this why I’ve come to attend to Husband diligently with Sister?”
Wang Yue didn’t care about her cold expression; on the contrary, she twirled a lock of her hair with slender fingers, smiling with half-closed eyes in response.
“Then just casually pick a room to settle down in.” Liu Qingqing intended to turn around and head back to her room after speaking.
But she heard Wang Yue’s unhurried muttering from behind, “It’s strange to say, the Yin Yang Brew was clearly adjusted according to Sister’s realm, so why did you have me drink it yesterday?”
“Could it be… that Sister hasn’t shared a room with Husband to this day?”
Liu Qingqing’s steps paused, and her brows furrowed slightly as she turned around.
Without speaking, she quietly waited for her to continue.
Clearly, the Little Prince was also a person of clever thoughts, and these words were surely not aimed to provoke her purposefully.
Sure enough, Wang Yue covered her mouth with a small hand in a surprised manner and exclaimed, “Oh my, Sister, I was just speaking off the cuff, I couldn’t have really guessed it, right?”
“Don’t misunderstand, Sister, I’m just purely curious.”
“But…”
“There is a sequence to everything, and since Sister married first, logically, you should be the principal one.”
“Yet… how can marriage exist without consummating it?”
“Last night I was with Husband… ah, I was truly worn out.”
Wang Yue blinked, observing the changes in her expression.
However, sadly, Liu Qingqing merely furrowed her brow and didn’t react too vehemently to these words.
“If the Little Prince wants my position,”
“You might as well speak to Husband; as long as Husband agrees, I have no objection to yielding it to you.”
Liu Qingqing didn’t quite understand her plan, but still responded evenly.
“Sister, you really misunderstand.”
“It was just a joke. Speaking of which, my Imperial Family’s marriage with the Gu Family is not that of a concubine, but as equal wives.”
“It just so happens that both Sister and I have ‘first’ in our titles, so it’s even more appropriate.”
Wang Yue smiled sweetly, narrowing her eyes; she had no intention of fighting over seniority, she merely wanted her stance to be clear – she was an equal wife, not a concubine!
As the Little Princess, even if she was just a pawn to her father now, she had her own pride.
In terms of talent and Root Bone, she believed she wasn’t much inferior to Liu Qingqing, and the Cultivation Technique Divine Power she was practicing was among the Northern Domain’s top-tier, sufficient to even out any disadvantage in Root Bone.
Now that she had accepted Gu Changge’s proposal, it was time to consider her own interests.
A concubine without status was clearly inadequate for the Gu Family to help her achieve great things in the future.
Today, she simply wanted to make sure Liu Qingqing understood that their statuses were the same to prevent any possible resentment in the future.
“…” Liu Qingqing didn’t say more; it was only now that she seriously sized up the girl before her.
Considering her realm had reached the Late Stage of the Reach Profound Realm, she was a bit inferior to herself.
Her appearance was decent too, suitable for Husband.
However, when her gaze fell on those breasts that completely mismatched the cute smile, her eyes couldn’t help but pause…
With such a low head, it would probably be hard to even see one’s feet…
But what of it if they were bigger than hers?
So inconvenient!
“The same words as before, don’t be too calculating. Serve Husband well, and your own opportunities and fate will come.”
“Choose a good room and settle down.”
Although Liu Qingqing wasn’t clear on why she had changed her mind overnight and became intimate with Husband,
She still kindly offered a reminder.
Only she knew that Husband was far from as simple as he appeared on the surface, even the talent that everyone believed he possessed was far from his greatest asset.
Just the elixirs I gave her before could fetch a fortune if taken to the market!
“How about letting Husband choose?”
“Surely Husband must be tired of eavesdropping outside the door for so long, right?”
But Wang Yue turned around with a smile and suddenly flung the courtyard door open!
Caught under the scrutiny of the two inside, Gu Changge gave an awkward cough.
“I certainly wasn’t eavesdropping; I just got to the front door and felt like I forgot something, wondering whether I should go back to the Back Mountain.”
“That’s why I was hesitating for a bit.”
He came up with a flimsy excuse to cover himself.
But the two of them obviously didn’t care about his eavesdropping; with the Reach Profound Realm, could anything really escape their notice if someone was standing outside the door?
Especially since he hadn’t maximized the effect of his Space Ring to conceal his presence, otherwise he might have inadvertently remained undetected.
“Then, Husband… could you help me choose a room?”
Wang Yue had already completely adjusted her mindset and had made up her mind with no turning back.
She regained her usual playful demeanor when facing Gu Changge.
“…”
“Any is fine, if you’d like to switch them around, that’s no problem.”
Gu Changge felt Liu Qingqing’s gaze on him and the corner of his eye twitched a little.
She wasn’t calling out so intimately last night.
Now she kept calling him Husband with a voice so sweet it could cause cavities.
He definitely didn’t believe she wasn’t doing it on purpose!
“Really?”
“Sister, you heard it, right? Husband said I could take turns staying with you.”
“It seems Husband is quite pleased with last night.”
Wang Yue instantly turned with a look of surprise to Liu Qingqing.
“That’s not what I meant, I was saying…”
Gu Changge hurriedly began to explain that he only meant she could alternate staying in any of the available rooms.
But Liu Qingqing interrupted, “Since Husband has spoken, naturally it’s settled.”
“The Sect sent word last night, commanding me to return in three days to prepare for the final Saintess trial,”
“So…”
“These next few days, Husband is mine.”
Liu Qingqing was assertive, looking at Wang Yue as if to assert her dominance.
She was soon to return to the Sect, and she didn’t know how long she would be separated from Husband, yet there was Wang Yue who could be with Husband every day.
The more she thought about it, the more eager she became to work harder on her Cultivation, to be free from the Sect’s constraints as soon as possible.
“Of course…” Wang Yue was somewhat surprised; her remark was just an offhand joke.
It seemed Liu Qingqing was more generous than she expected…
Since there was no set rule about fixed rooms, Wang Yue didn’t dwell on which direction was more prestigious and simply headed straight for the room next to the main house.
She didn’t forget to turn back at the doorway, looking pitifully at Gu Changge, “Could Husband come help me?”
“…”
Gu Changge felt a bit overwhelmed and silently glanced at Liu Qingqing.
Then, under both their gazes, he decisively opted to dive into the kitchen.
Leaving the words, “Wife hasn’t had a meal today, right? I’ll go cook for Wife…”
“Correction, that’s Wives, I too wish to taste Husband’s culinary skills,” Wang Yue said coquettishly, not minding stirring up more trouble.
“Exasperating!” came Gu Changge’s voice from the kitchen… He hadn’t expected Wang Yue to make a choice so quickly and even less did he expect that behind his back she was such a contrast?
Where was the Northern Domain Princess from yesterday who seemed to suffer grievance after begrudgingly spending a wonderful night?
Wasn’t it merely the time taken to go to the Back Mountain, how quickly women change their faces!
