Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huangfu Lingyao sat beside the round table, unwrapping the oil-paper package and reaching out to grab some food.

But Liu Shimei stopped him again, saying, “Wait!”

He paused, bewildered. “What’s wrong?”

Seeing her husband, she walked to the basin, wrung a cloth, and came back. She took his large hand and meticulously wiped it clean, then proceeded to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

In no time, the dog that had gone out for a walk, not looking so refined anymore, turned back into a sleek and shiny, imposing Husky, with an aura extending two meters and eight centimeters.

The difference between a stray dog and a domesticated one!

Combine that with the motherly, patient advice. “Always wash your hands before eating!”

Huangfu Lingyao felt warm inside. He looked up at his beautiful wife and blurted out, “My wife, you must be a fairy from heaven!”

Liu Shimei was taken aback, remembering how he had called her ‘fairy’ the night he arrived.

Silly puppy, why is he so adorable?

She couldn’t help but laugh and said, “When have you ever seen a fairy?”

Huangfu Lingyao pouted, saying, “I haven’t, but I think a fairy must be like my wife, beautiful and kind-hearted!”

Immediately, without waiting for her response, he continued, “Oh, if I don’t go to the palace and ask Empress Mother to help us get married soon!”

He was impatient to officially marry her. He wanted the status!

His wife was treating him well, but without a formal status, he feared she might get tired of him one day and leave him.

Also, he worried someone might snatch her away.

Excellent men were abundant, and with her qualities, she was bound to be noticed. But what if she didn’t want to raise a ‘foolish son’ anymore? What would she do?

What was even more terrifying was that Huangfu Lingyao was always uneasy, unsure how long he could hide his true self. He couldn’t keep it a secret forever, could he?

Once they were married, she couldn’t escape. He could slowly find a way to reveal his true identity to her, a relatively safer option.

Or perhaps, he could accept her treatment, pretend to get better under her care?

In Liu Shimei’s perspective, of course, it was feasible. But…

Wasn’t it a good thing that he wasn’t foolish anymore?

He wouldn’t have to lie to her, but he might drag her into the convoluted struggles of the court!

In the future, after he had a wife and children, he definitely couldn’t let them face danger.

Wouldn’t it be better to continue pretending to be a fool?

“If you can truly persuade the Empress, then you might as well give it a try,” Liu Shimei said. How could she know the turmoil in her own dog’s heart, like a honeycomb coal? She smiled and turned back to hang up the cloth.

Huangfu Lingyao’s gaze followed her, and he discovered a crucial point – previously, she wasn’t very supportive when he mentioned an early marriage. Although she used very subtle words, treating him like a naive son to protect his ‘innocent’ mind, her meaning was crystal clear!

But now, it seemed she didn’t object anymore?

The Silly Second Prince suddenly became cheerful and said, “Then I’ll really go! I heard there are many preparations for a wedding. It definitely won’t happen this month, so let’s get married next month!”

Liu Shimei came back and sat down, looking at him with amusement. “If you can truly convince the Empress, then next month it is. This matter isn’t just something I can decide. If I say no, it won’t happen.”

She said this because she knew it was impossible. That’s why she spoke like this.

Although she didn’t understand why the Emperor wouldn’t allow Huangfu Lingyao to marry before the Crown Prince, she wasn’t clear about the underlying secrets.

But she was sure, even if he was a foolish son, the marriage of a Prince couldn’t be rushed; there must be many complicated procedures.
