Encountering the Fairy Maiden

  Mischievous wife

  "Mmm..." Tao Le'er murmured, turned over, and her arm fell on the quilt, while the scorching body was gone. She slowly opened her eyes to find Feng Ye Ye standing by her bed, fully dressed.

  "Husband, why are you getting up so early?" Turning his head, he saw that it was only slightly bright outside the window.

  "I'm going to get up early, you can continue sleeping." Only this little rascal didn't know how to help him get dressed, and only thought about himself lying comfortably in the quilt. He tied his shirt, sat down on the bed, and stroked her tender cheeks, loving the delicate touch.

  "Hmm..." Tao Le'er muttered, climbing onto his lap and nuzzling into his chest like a little pig. "I still want to sleep, I still want you to sleep with me."

  Growing up in an orphanage, the space was not enough, so almost all of them were two people squeezed into one bed, and even more when they were younger. After growing up, it was also shared with a friend in a small single room, with two people sleeping on one bed. It was warm and cozy in winter, and felt safer.

  The wind and rain raged outside, but she couldn't help smiling wryly. She had a good dream till dawn, while he could only watch her sleep all night, enduring the torture of a thousand hardships. "Alright, sleep tight. I should get going."

  Pouting, Tao Le'er reluctantly moved back to the bed. She turned over and, still with a strong sleepiness, reminded him: "You have to come back early and have dinner with me."

  "Hmm." He responded casually and turned around to leave through the door.

  Taole'er closed her eyes, thinking that she still needed a good sleep. But since coming to ancient times, she had always slept alone, and didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. Now, with someone suddenly missing by her side, her drowsiness was startled away.

  "Ugh, so annoying." She grumbled and sat up, leaning against the headboard. In a daze, she noticed the room's decorations for the first time. Last night, her mind was preoccupied with bad thoughts, and she didn't have time to pay attention to these things. Thinking of him rushing out to take a cold shower, she couldn't help but sneak a smile.

  She quietly looked around the black and white styled room, gazing at the simple yet stylish decorations for a while before finally deciding to get out of bed. After coming to ancient times, she almost lost her good habit of morning exercises. Hearing that people in ancient times had short lifespans, she still exercised properly and lived very long.

  She thought and acted quickly, scrambling out of the soft and comfortable quilt, putting on her clothes and going out. "Spring Moon, come with me for a walk."

  The little girl standing at the door was startled. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I am Xiaomei."

  The soft and crisp sound of her voice rang out, and only then did she remember that this was her husband's room.

  "Oh. I almost forgot." She replied and walked out in big strides.

  "Your Highness, let me serve you with your toilette and dressing." The king had instructed the queen to sleep well, so she hadn't gone in early to attend to her. Seeing the queen walking out like this, she was frightened, thinking that the queen was angry.

  "No need. I'll just take a walk around, breathe in some fresh air and then come back to wash up." She said with a genuine smile.

  Xiaomei accompanied the princess. That smile made the maid's hanging heart fall down, and she quickly followed up.

  Taole didn't refuse either, because these girls' minds were filled with such thoughts. If she said no to her following, she would probably be so anxious that she would cry, thinking that Taole was dissatisfied with her performance.

  "Wow——the early bird gets the worm, and this feeling is really not bad." Tao Le'er was doing some simple exercises while admiring the delicate Wang Fu in the morning mist.

  Those strange movements almost made the little girl's chin drop. The dignified Wang Fei of the Yu Wang Fu, going out with such a messy appearance was already shocking enough to leave people speechless, not to mention these weird movements that had nothing to do with being an elegant lady.

  "Huh?" Tao Le'er slightly widened her eyes, tilted her head to listen for a while, then turned back and asked: "Xiao Mei, did you hear someone playing the piano? It seems to be coming from over there."

  "Replying to the princess, I heard it." It was not strange at all. That was the Fifth Madam. She would get up every day at this time to play the piano. In fact, the Fifth Madam was the quietest and easiest to get along with among several madams. Those things about competing for favor never interfered, but stayed in her own secluded Xiyuan to play the piano all day long.

  "Come on, let's go and take a look. Who is playing the piano so well, and in such high spirits at this early hour?" She said, lifting up her skirt and walking quickly.

  The little girl behind her quickly caught up, looking at her with a skirt and a healthy step like flying, her mouth couldn't be closed. But she didn't dare to advise casually, so she could only pray in her heart that the Bodhisattva would bless her, hoping that no one who shouldn't see it would see it and cause trouble.

  As she walked along the winding corridor with a sense of familiarity, Tao Le'er couldn't help but stop in her tracks when she saw the person in the pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond from afar.

  It was a woman in a white dress, sideways to them. The long water sleeves of the skirt were flying in the wind, and the unbound part of her raven-black hair was also playing with the wind. She looked so quiet, so elegant, like an immortal descending to the world.

  Taole'er slowed down her pace, slowly circling around the lakeside promenade, heading towards the center of the lake. In this royal mansion, there was actually such a refined person, it was truly rare.

  As the distance got closer, she felt more and more that this woman was really too beautiful. Not the kind of beauty that comes from a pretty face, but the kind of elegance and nobility that emanates from her bones. Although the clothes on her body were not expensive or luxurious, and even had some old-fashioned touches, they did not detract from her temperament at all.

  Suddenly aware of someone's arrival, the woman finished playing the last note and stood up.

  "Wah wah wah, fairy! You must be a fairy!" Tao Le'er exclaimed and rushed over to support the woman's shoulders. The woman had an elegant and refined face, not the kind of stunning beauty that would shock people, but her calm and composed demeanor, like shining pearls, made it impossible for people to look away.

  The lady smiled faintly and said softly: "Your Highness is overpraising."

  "Huh?" Taole'er widened her eyes in surprise. "Does Fairy Sister know me?"

  "Mm." She just nodded and responded with a faint monosyllable.

  This made Tao Le'er like her even more, she didn't say anything like "You're the mistress of this palace, how could I not know you" or other nauseating words. "Hehe, then who are you?"

  Yan Xian smiled faintly and thought about how to respond.

  "The princess, she is one of the five madams." Little Mei hastily replied.

  "Which of the five madams?" Was it Feng Ye, one of the four concubines? Such a person was actually a concubine, wasn't that a waste of talent? Tao Le'er couldn't help but lean in and take another few glances to confirm it wasn't her own hallucination.

  "Wah wah wah, you really look great!" Although this identity isn't what she likes, it's undeniable that she looks good.

  Yan Xizhen raised a faint smile, and couldn't help but think to herself that perhaps she had misjudged this little princess. Previously, when she saw her handle the matter of the king's steward, it seemed like she wasn't someone to be trifled with. But at this moment, she appeared so innocent and naive, so frank and open. Which one was the real her? Or was this a new way of testing herself?

  "I'm telling you, from now on, don't smile casually. Otherwise, all the flowers in the Wang Mansion will wither at once, because your smile is far more beautiful than they are." She wasn't speaking flattering words, she really thought this person's smile was too beautiful.

  In modern times, people often say that some women are so beautiful that they easily capture men's hearts. Some women are so stunning that even other women can't help but fall for them. The person in front of me is definitely the latter.

  "The princess truly loves to laugh." Whether it was true or false, at least for now, she saw sincerity in these bright and lively eyes.

  After being quiet for so many years, I suddenly have a premonition that my life may be about to change.
