The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 258

Shangguan Ziling lay in Mo Shaoxie's warm embrace, her hands gently rubbing his solid chest. She looked up into Mo Shaoxie's deep eyes, with a hint of playfulness in her tone: "Why are you here?"

Mo Shaoxie tightly grasped the hand that was lighting the fire on his chest. There was a gentle light in his eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse: "The secret guard reported that Ling'er was here. I was afraid that Ling'er would be bullied, so I came here."

Shangguan Ziling felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this. She pouted her lips and pretended to be unhappy, but in fact her heart was full of sweetness.

The little fat man in the space couldn't help but complain: "It's fine if the master doesn't bully others, but how can the master be bullied?"

When the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Regent's Palace, Shangguan Ziling snuggled in Mo Shaoxie's arms, feeling his strong arms and warm embrace.

Mo Shaoxie picked her up and walked into the study. He gently placed her on a chair beside him and sat down. He sat at the desk and began to deal with the pile of official documents. The study was filled with the faint scent of ink and books, which made people feel peaceful and comfortable.

Shangguan Ziling took out a medical book from the space and began to read it carefully. Her eyes were focused and deep, as if she was completely immersed in the world of the book.

Mo Shaoxie occasionally looked up at her, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. He knew that having her by his side was better than anything else.

The study room was filled with a warm and romantic atmosphere. Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling accompanied each other, each busy, but not lonely. Their presence made the study room warmer and more loving.

The night was falling, and the stars dotted the sky. Mo Shaoxie had been busy at his desk for a long time, and finally finished the task at hand.

Mo Shaoxie raised his head and his eyes fell on Shangguan Ziling who was sleeping opposite him.

Her face looked soft and peaceful in the dim light, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was having a sweet dream.

Mo Shaoxie walked gently to her side, leaned over and called softly: "Ling'er, wake up."

Shangguan Ziling slowly opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion.

She blinked, as if trying to adjust to the sudden light.

"It's getting dark, Ling'er, are you hungry?" Mo Shaoxie asked gently.

Shangguan Ziling then realized that she had fallen asleep. She touched her stomach and felt hungry. She nodded and replied softly, "Yeah."

Mo Shaoxie took her hand and led her out of the study.

They walked through the corridor and came to the brightly lit hall.

The chef in the mansion had already prepared a sumptuous dinner. The aroma of various dishes whetted people's appetite.

The two sat down and began to enjoy dinner. Mo Shaoxie picked up some food for Shangguan Ziling, who had a sweet look on her face.

After dinner, Mo Shaoxie took Shangguan Ziling's hand and took a walk in the moonlight to help digest the food.

They strolled through the gardens, taking in the beauty of the night and enjoying each other's company.

The moonlight fell on the two of them, covering them with a layer of silver gauze.

After a long while, the two returned to the room, washed up and prepared to rest.

Mo Shaoxie tucked in the quilt for Shangguan Ziling, kissed her forehead gently, and said softly, "Ling'er, go to sleep."

Shangguan Ziling closed her eyes and responded, "Good night, Mo Shaoxie."

The room gradually became quiet and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

In the morning, the first ray of sunlight shone through the window lattice and sprinkled on the exquisite bed. Shangguan Ziling slowly opened her eyes and found that Mo Shaoxie was no longer by her side.

Shangguan Ziling stood up and stretched, feeling the fresh air brushing against her cheeks.

Outside the door, Chunxiao and Xia Yu heard the noise and walked in immediately.

They prepared clothes for Shangguan Ziling and helped her change and wash.

Shangguan Ziling's movements are graceful, and every detail reveals her noble temperament.

"Where's Mo Shaoxie?"

Xia Yu said: "The prince left the house early in the morning and told the servants not to wake you up and wait for you to wake up naturally, but the princess woke up really early this morning!"

Shangguan Ziling thought that she went to bed early last night and was not exploited by anyone last night.

Shangguan Ziling finished washing up and prepared to go to the hall for breakfast.

Qiu Kui came over and reported: "Princess, Miss Yun is here."

As soon as Qiu Kui finished speaking, Yun Youyou's voice rang out from outside the door: "Zi Ling!"

Shangguan Ziling looked up and saw Yun Youyou standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.

Shangguan Ziling responded with a smile: "Youyou, why are you here so early in the morning? Have you had breakfast?"

Yun Youyou shook her head: "Not yet. I heard that the streets are very lively today, so I came to find you to go and take a look."

Shangguan Ziling raised her eyebrows: "What's the excitement? Isn't it just that the prince is going to Nanlin to provide disaster relief today?"

Yun Youyou's eyes lit up: "Yes, all the civil and military officials are going to see the prince off! It's such a big scene. Zi Ling, what do you think will happen if the prince messes up the disaster relief?"

Shangguan Ziling frowned slightly. Yun Youyou smiled and took Shangguan Ziling's hand: "Let's go and take a look! Let's go to Xiangxiangxuan Restaurant for breakfast." After that, she took Shangguan Ziling out of the palace.

The two men left the palace and came to a private room in the Xiangxiangxuan Restaurant. They ordered some breakfast and pastries. They sat by the window and looked at the bustling people on both sides of the street.

On both sides of the street, teams of officers and soldiers stood in neat rows, wearing armor, holding spears, with serious and solemn faces. Their mission was to maintain order at the scene and ensure the safety of the prince.

In the middle of the street, a group of officials dressed in gorgeous costumes walked slowly.

Jun Yaotian rode slowly towards them on a tall horse. He was wearing a white robe, a golden crown on his head, and a confident and calm smile on his face.

His appearance caused a lot of discussion among the people around him.

The people gathered together, talking a lot, and their voices rose one after another.

"Have you heard? There was a flood in the southwest and south, and the court sent the prince to provide disaster relief!" An old man in tattered clothes said excitedly.

"Yes! I heard that the disaster over there is serious. Many people are displaced and their families are broken up." A middle-aged woman nearby echoed, with a trace of worry in her eyes.

"Look, those horse-drawn carriages at the back are loaded with food for disaster relief." A young man said, pointing at the convoy in the distance.

"These foods are given to the people affected by the disaster. We hope they can overcome the difficulties." An old man said with emotion.

"Yes, I hope the prince can truly care about the people in the disaster area and provide them with more help." said another young man.

The people's discussions echoed in the air, and they were full of expectations and hopes for the court's actions.

They hope that the prince can truly pay attention to the reconstruction work in the disaster area, provide more help and support to the people affected by the disaster, and help the people in the disaster area overcome the difficulties as soon as possible.

Behind Jun Yaotian, carriages loaded with grain slowly approached.

These grains are relief supplies prepared by the court for the disaster-stricken areas. They will be transported to the disaster-stricken areas to help the affected people overcome their difficulties.

Behind the carriage, there were teams of officers and soldiers escorting it, and their faces were equally serious and solemn.

Yun Youyou looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh, "Look at the prince, how proud he is!" There was a hint of disdain and sarcasm in her tone.

After hearing this, Shangguan Ziling said softly: "Jun Yaotian just wants to save his reputation by providing disaster relief. After all, his reputation was not good before! If he does a good job, it will increase the people's love for him. It will do no harm! He has so many people around him. He only needs to give an order and someone will naturally do it. He doesn't need to do everything himself."
