Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 146 - 18: The Imperial Concubine Has a System (18)

Chapter 146: Chapter 18: The Imperial Concubine Has a System (18)

The Crown Prince did not disappoint Yun Zimo and Li Shuning; he has already begun to get involved with state affairs, understanding certain things that a monarch cannot tolerate.

Though he is not yet a monarch, he is already a qualified successor.

The Li Family members came in high spirits and left dejectedly, but Li Shuning still heard that the Li Family in Jiangnan had slowly become somewhat arrogant.

Li Shuning wrote a letter, urgently dispatched it eight hundred miles to the Li Family.

Li Shuning carefully explained the pros and cons of the matter.

She cited the case of the Imperial Concubine, stating that if the Li Family did anything, she would never condone it and would not plead for mercy should the Emperor take action against them.

Under Li Shuning’s persistent suppression, the Li Family quieted down a bit.

However, when the Crown Prince turned fifteen, Yun Zimo prepared to choose a Crown Princess Consort for him, and the Li Family perked up again, sending a girl of their direct lineage to the Imperial City.

Both Yun Zimo and Li Shuning knew the consequences of marrying close relatives and would not accept the girl.

The Crown Prince felt somewhat touched that both his father and mother rejected the Li Family, fully aware of the consequences of rampant external relatives.

Ultimately, the girl from the Li Family was married off; there were plenty of aristocrats in the Imperial City more than suitable for the Li girl.

At eighteen, Yun Zimo passed the throne to the Crown Prince.

He and Li Shuning began traveling around various places.

Li Shuning had a hovercar, and as both were extraordinary people, it was very safe as they traveled without an entourage.

The Crown Prince—no, the Emperor—still envied his father and mother’s freedom. Deep down, he also envied their relationship. However, it was a pity that his parents often traveled without taking anyone along, making it challenging to contact them.

Typically, his mother would write back some letters to keep him informed of their adventures.

Perhaps due to an incident with the Imperial Concubine during his childhood, he was not that enthusiastic about palace affairs.

In general, he would visit the Empress Palace, but he rarely favored other concubines and did not replenish the concubines in the palace frequently.

When Li Shuning and Yun Zimo returned, their relationship had deepened, yet Yun Zimo never asked for Li Shuning’s real-world address.

Li Shuning didn’t know what Yun Zimo was thinking, and in the later stage, she always hesitated to speak.

Perhaps it was because both came from other worlds—their relationship was great, their life harmonious, but they never had children.

Upon returning to the real world, Li Shuning received a piece of Warm Jade as a reward.

"Congratulations, host, for completing the task. Would you like to draw a prize?"

Li Shuning just shook her head.

In the end, Yun Zimo still never asked her address.

Li Shuning felt a bit downhearted.

The affection Yun Zimo had for her was genuine, no doubt about it, as she could vividly sense his deep feelings in the task world.

But why didn’t Yun Zimo want to find her in the real world?

Was he afraid she might not look good in the real world, or did he not want any real-world entanglements?

At this moment, her spirit was somewhat low.

She decided to get a good night’s sleep before worrying more.

Li Shuning slept, and when she awoke, she was somewhat lost in thought, unable to help but chuckle. Perhaps this was why she was reluctant to fall in love in other worlds.

People who once loved each other; she remained, while the other was gone, how could she forget?

She didn’t want to maliciously imagine Yun Zimo, so she strove to suppress her negative emotions.

One day, dressed in shorts and a t-shirt, relaxing at home with a large glass bowl of fruit in her hands, while watching current events news, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Li Shuning felt puzzled; ever since gaining the ticket, she had limited interactions with friends in the real world.

She had recently visited her parents, so who could it be?

Remembering she wore nothing under her home clothes, she put on a jacket and walked over to open the door.

When she opened the door, Li Shuning stood there with her mouth slightly open, in astonishment.

Was this person too bad? Coming quietly, leaving her to think all sorts of things.

Yun Zimo originally wanted to surprise Li Shuning, intending to personally find her in the real world; it took him some time.

Unexpectedly, the surprise did not reach her; did he scare his darling?

Seeing his darling with tears in her eyes and standing there stunned, clearly, it was not a look of surprise.

To be honest, although Yun Zimo was of that age, he understood little about women, regularly wearing a serious face and seldom getting close to women.

As such, how could he understand a woman’s mind?

Approaching, Yun Zimo hugged Li Shuning: "Darling, what’s wrong, why are you crying on seeing your husband? Don’t you like your husband? Your husband spent a long time searching for you and came to you without any delay after finding you."

Li Shuning punched Yun Zimo a few times in frustration: "Hmph, I absolutely dislike you."

Yun Zimo’s face went blank; had he done something wrong? Why did his darling detest him?

After much coaxing while hugging Li Shuning, she finally pulled Yun Zimo into the room.

Closing the door, Yun Zimo looked joyfully at Li Shuning.

His darling was so pretty, with a hint of cuteness, even prettier than in the task world. He liked her so much, truly wishing never to part.

Recalling the soft sensation when he hugged his darling earlier, he couldn’t help but look over at Li Shuning.

Yun Zimo felt parched.

After their earlier encounter, Li Shuning’s outer garment had loosened, and her thin t-shirt underneath revealed a delightful scene that Yun Zimo could naturally appreciate.

Unable to resist, he stepped forward and embraced Li Shuning.

When Yun Zimo’s hand touched her, Li Shuning blushed slightly, how could she have let this bad guy see her like this?

In the task world, they had engaged in intimate things, so they naturally weren’t pretentious in the real world.

After more than three hours, they lay under the covers, holding each other and chatting.

"Darling, why did it seem like you weren’t welcoming me before I saw you, did I do something wrong?"

Li Shuning felt a little embarrassed but still spoke up: "Previously, in the task world, you never asked for my real-world address, and I couldn’t help imagining all sorts of things."

Yun Zimo’s eyes twinkled with amusement: "Silly darling, I just wanted to find you personally."

The two shamelessly stayed indoors for several days, as perhaps the ticket, perceiving their situation, deliberately granted them special treatment; in this duration, they weren’t sent into any task world.
