My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 346 - 222 Sneaking a Look at Anning

For the first Martial Arts Tournament hosted by the court, after careful consideration, the Heng Mountain Sect decided to send three Grandmasters.

Among them was the Sect Leader of the Heng Mountain Sect himself.

At that time, only one elder would stay behind to oversee the sect.

After all, since the Sect Leader of the Hua Mountain Sect would personally participate, out of the principle of equality, the Heng Mountain Sect could not merely send a few elders.

He promptly wrote a letter and had a Disciple deliver it to Chang'an.

Two days later.

Ministry of Rites.

Li Nuo had already received the reply from the Heng Mountain Sect.

At that time, three of the four Grandmasters of the Heng Mountain Sect would come.

And all three Grandmasters of the Hua Mountain Sect would be present.

Several pieces of exquisitely crafted crown clothes, although pricey for the common people, were nothing for the court.

The entire Martial Arts community of Daxia only had a few dozen Grandmasters; it was just a matter of a few dozen garments.

And the privileges of staying at hostels for free, not bowing to officials, and being granted a seat in court, were even less of an actual investment.

As for impeaching officials..., Li Nuo would love to catch a few more corrupt officials.

His petition was submitted in the morning, and by the afternoon, it was swiftly approved by the three provinces.

These days, the three provinces were very supportive of the policies of the Ministry of Rites.

Though the process had its twists and turns, after his operations, everything had still gone quite smoothly overall.

When he returned home from the Ministry of Rites, he saw Phoenix there too.

Regarding Phoenix, Li Nuo really should be very thankful.

Apart from himself, it was Phoenix who spent the most time accompanying his wife.

Given her aloof nature, it was difficult for ordinary women to become her friend.

In the courtyard, he saw only Phoenix, and not his wife, Li Nuo said, "Jiaren must have returned to the Song Residence; let me have Housekeeper Wu drive you there."

Phoenix shook her head and said, "I came to find the young master."

Li Nuo was slightly startled, "Find me?"

Phoenix smiled faintly and said, "To be precise, someone sent me to find the young master."

A moment later.

Jade Sound Pavilion.

Li Nuo followed Phoenix through the back door and climbed the ladder to a room on the second floor.

As soon as he leaped into the room, a figure, already waiting there, threw herself into his embrace.

Li Nuo hadn't even seen who it was, but he would never forget the fragrance that emanated from her, nor the uniquely soft and bouncy sensation that was irreplaceable.

Before Li Nuo could say a word, he found himself unable to speak.

Li Nuo could somewhat understand why his Lady Mother-in-law and Lord Father-in-law had been inseparable these days.

Separated from Anning for just a month, he felt an urge to kiss her eternally.

They had been apart for eighteen years, even longer than when his cousin and aunt were separated, it would be strange if they weren't deeply affectionate.

This kiss seemed as if it could transcend time and last forever.

After how long, Anning lifted her head, looked at him with watery eyes, and asked, "Did you miss me?"

Li Nuo nodded and bent his head down to kiss her again.

Much later, Anning gave a gentle twist at his waist, her voice dissatisfied, "If you missed me, why didn't you come find me!"

Li Nuo defended himself, "I did go, but the female officials at the Princess Mansion wouldn't let me in."

Li Anning humphed softly, rubbing the spot on Li Nuo's waist where she had pinched him and said quietly, "Those female officials are so annoying; they wouldn't let me leave the mansion at all... If I hadn't said I was going to find Phoenix, they wouldn't have let me out..."

Li Nuo didn't blame those female officials.

It was their duty, after all. If the Princess ran into any trouble before her grand wedding, like getting pregnant before marriage, potentially tarnishing the Royal reputation, they would all lose their heads.

The citizens of Daxia held such matters in high esteem, let alone the Imperial Family.

Therefore, even though he was skilled in climbing walls and lock-picking, an expert in Stealing Fragrance and Jade, he did not sneak into the Princess Mansion to find her clandestinely.

He couldn't, for a moment's thrill, ruin her lifelong reputation.

Her hand gently caressed Li Nuo's waist, and his hands were not idle either, as they crept along her waist, quickly touching a patch of soft, smooth skin.

Li Anning's face blushed slightly, but she did not stop him and asked, "What have you been up to these past few days?"

Li Nuo recounted to her all that had happened in recent days, with Li Anning snuggled in his embrace, listening attentively.

Actually, she had no interest in the Martial Arts Tournament; she just enjoyed hearing Li Nuo share his affairs with her.

Regarding matters of Jiaren, Li Nuo did not keep her in the dark either.

After hearing about it, Li Anning's pretty face showed anger, "She is Jiaren's mother, how could she do such a thing!"

She suddenly thought of something more serious, stunned, she asked, "So you mean, it's because she cultivated that Heart Method, became indifferent to many things, that's why she allowed me to marry you?"

To be precise, it wasn't that she didn't care, it was that the Yuqing Heart Technique had weakened her normal range of emotions.

This meant she hardly ever experienced great joy or great anger.

If not for the Yuqing Heart Technique, Anning would probably have come to blows with her when they were face-to-face before.

Comparing her to Lady Mother-in-law or Yiren.

Without the Yuqing Heart Technique, he might have had to choose between his wife and Yiren in the past.

It seemed as though fate had already predetermined everything.

Anning worriedly said, "What if she gets better? Will she kick me out?"

Li Nuo didn't know the answer to this question either.

He could only hold her in his arms and comfort her, "Don't worry, by that time, the rice will already be cooked; we might even have children. How could she possibly send you away?"

Anning calmed down but then she thought of something else.

These past days, she hadn't just been at the Princess Mansion learning etiquette and rules.

The female official at the Princess Mansion had also taught her some knowledge about the bridal chamber, so she certainly knew how the rice was cooked.

Sitting on Li Nuo's lap, feeling certain changes in his body, images from those picture albums flashed in her mind.

Her face turned even redder as she quietly buried her head in Li Nuo's chest.

Neither of them said another word, just clinging to each other tightly.

Knock knock knock!

After some time, knocking on the door suddenly rang out, accompanied by a woman's voice, "Your Highness, it's time to go back!"

Reluctantly, Anning left Li Nuo's embrace and said, "Next time I miss you, I'll have Phoenix come find you..."

She let down the inner curtains and glanced back at Li Nuo before turning to walk into the other room. She opened the door and said to a female official, "Let's go."

Li Nuo sat on Phoenix's bed, Anning's scent still lingering in his arms.

Soon, the curtains parted and Phoenix walked in from outside, handing Li Nuo a cup of tea, "You must be thirsty after all that talking. Have some tea."

Indeed, after talking and kissing for so long, he was a bit thirsty.

Li Nuo took the cup of tea from Phoenix, gulping it down in one go, and placed the empty cup on the nightstand, saying, "Thank you."

That 'thank you' held a dual meaning.

One was for the tea.

The other was for giving him the opportunity to be with Anning.

Phoenix smiled and said, "Don't mention it. Just don't forget to invite me to have a drink at your wedding."

Li Nuo replied, "Of course."

Not only would he invite her for a drink, but he would also ensure she sat at one of the front tables.

After saying this, there was a brief silence between them.

Ordinarily, after thanking her, Li Nuo would have stood up to take his leave.

But at that moment, he couldn't stand up.

Phoenix was puzzled, but she was very astute; a swift glance and she understood the situation.

A hint of red appeared on her cheeks as she said, "Young Master, please sit and rest a bit longer. I have some things to discuss with Nightingale..."

After Phoenix left, Li Nuo sat on the bed for a while before slowly standing up.

While it was indeed a bit embarrassing, it wasn't his fault.

Anning, soft and fragrant, had nestled into his embrace; if he still managed to restrain himself, he really would need to see the Imperial Physician.

At the Princess Mansion.

The female official, seeing the Princess return from Jade Sound Pavilion with blushing cheeks and occasional giggles, had her suspicions.

If it was just meeting a lady friend, how could she be this happy?

She also noticed how the Princess walked and felt somewhat relieved.

But only just a tad.

There were still over two months until the wedding.

If something that shouldn't happen did occur in these two months, it was uncertain whether they would survive until the Princess's big day.

As a woman herself, she could understand the Princess.

A girl with blossoming affection wished to stick to her beloved every moment.

She too had been young once.

When men and women are alone together, sticking to each other, they tend to explore things that men and women alone together like to do.

However, there was one final boundary before the wedding that absolutely must not be crossed.

She cleared her throat and said, "Your Highness, follow me. Today I will teach you some more secrets of the boudoir..."

She led Anning into a palace hall and closed the door behind them.

Moments later, Anning's face flushed red.

Looking down at her soft, delicate hands, she thought... Can this really be done?
