Chapter 433: Chapter 177: Seizing the Situation! The Empress’ Baby’s First Experience with Exquisite Feet!_4
After leaving the Imperial Palace, as Chen Mo was about to bid farewell, he heard Ye Zi’e say: "By the way, while we were at the Frozen Sky Palace, the Empress asked me to pass a message to you."
Curiously, Chen Mo asked: "What message?"
Ye Zi’e looked around and said: "It’s inconvenient to talk here. Mr. Chen, please follow me."
With that, she boarded the soft palanquin parked nearby.
Chen Mo didn’t think much and followed suit.
...
...
Lianbao Street.
The street was bustling with people, lined with shops on both sides, while vendors unrelentingly hawked their wares. The air was filled with a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
Yet, among them was a figure that seemed out of place.
Wearing a spotless Moon White Daoist Robe, she resembled a fairy detached from the mundane world, wandering the streets aimlessly.
The surrounding pedestrians hardly noticed her, but unconsciously kept their distance, forming a gap in the crowded flow.
"Excuse me, how much for the Osmanthus Sweet Cake?"
Ling Ningzhi stopped at a small stall and asked.
The vendor rubbed his eyes, seeing a person standing before him but the figure remained indistinct.
Assuming his eyes were playing tricks on him, he replied: "Ten wen per piece."
Ling Ningzhi placed the silver down, took the Osmanthus Sweet Cake, and turned to leave.
"Eh, miss, you gave too much."
The vendor picked up the silver ingot, about to call out, only to find she had vanished.
"Really strange..."
The vendor scratched his head.
Ling Ningzhi held the Osmanthus Sweet Cake, took a bite, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Too sweet."
"How can Zhixia like eating such things?"
Thinking of Shen Zhixia, Ling Ningzhi’s mind naturally recalled the scene from that day, and her cheeks flushed with color.
She never imagined that Zhixia would be so bold, doing such a thing right in front of her.
Nor did she expect that Chen Mo would tie them up...
The entire bed was soaked...
"Mr. Chen is truly wicked."
Ling Ningzhi didn’t know how to face the two of them.
However, Zhixia had said she didn’t mind her relationship with Chen Mo, which eased the guilt in her heart considerably.
Ling Ningzhi took small bites of the Osmanthus Sweet Cake, strolling down the street.
As she passed a restaurant, she suddenly sensed something, paused, and turned to look.
She saw a soft palanquin parked by the street, Chen Mo and a woman in purple clothing disembarking one after the other, entering the restaurant.
"Mr. Chen?"
Ling Ningzhi furrowed her brows slightly.
She hadn’t seen that woman before; both her appearance and figure were quite outstanding.
Their relationship didn’t seem intimate, yet the woman’s gaze towards Chen Mo revealed a smoldering intensity.
She vaguely sensed something was amiss, hesitated briefly, then followed inside.
...
...
Fengchun Pavilion, a private room on the second floor.
Chen Mo sat at the table, staring at the sumptuous spread before him with a puzzled expression.
"Mr. Ye, what message did the Empress ask you to convey that necessitated coming to a restaurant?"
Ye Zi’e shot him a charming glance and said coyly: "I entered the palace early in the morning for official business, haven’t had breakfast yet, is it such a bother for Mr. Chen to accompany me for a meal?"
"Not at all."
Chen Mo shook his head: "I only worry about delaying the Empress’s important business."
Ye Zi’e laughed and said: "Mr. Chen really cares about the Empress, but it’s not urgent, we’ll talk about it later."
She picked up the wine jug, filled the cups for both, and changed the subject: "Mr. Chen, do you remember what I told you before?"
Chen Mo asked doubtfully: "What did you say?"
Ye Zi’e’s cheeks blushed slightly, and she said: "I once gave Mr. Chen a book on Dual Cultivation Secret Technique, asking you to properly train with it, and after reaching the Fourth Rank, come to verify the results..."
She licked her lips, her voice soft and alluring: "Now, it’s time to check the goods."
?!
Chen Mo was taken aback when he heard this.
This woman hadn’t come here for a meal, she’d come to feast on him!
