Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Her Husband is Really Amazing!_1

Princess Linghe had grown somewhat impatient and asked, ”Vice General Meng, since nobody is responding, could it be that there is no one inside?”

Meng Zhuqing replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, ”In response to the Commandery Princess’s question, whether the Prince and Princess are present or not, that is beyond my knowledge. All I know is that if the Commandery Princess wishes to see the Prince and Princess, she can only wait.”

As a Commandery Princess, although she had also been snubbed by Xiao Changyi in the past, she had never had to wait so persistently as she did now. Princess Linghe was immediately so annoyed that it was unbearable, but she also knew that Meng Zhuqing’s words were true. Therefore, she continued to wait while sulking on her own.

Li Wuyu, on the other hand, behaved as if the matter did not concern her in the slightest and was extremely content admiring the beautiful scenery of the surrounding mountains and fields.

Inside the courtyard, An Jing heard Princess Linghe and Meng Zhuqing’s exchange and could imagine that the Commandery Princess must be angry, yet unable to vent her frustrations. An Jing simply felt that this snub was well served.

An Jing quietly laughed for a while, then lowered her voice to ask Xiao Changyi, ”My lord, how long do you plan to have her wait?”

Xiao Changyi did not speak but simply flicked the bamboo strip in his hand.

The rustling sound of the bamboo immediately carried to the courtyard outside, and the three people who heard it immediately knew someone was indeed present in the yard. Their expressions changed instantly, each revealing different emotions.

Meng Zhuqing continued to stand respectfully at the entrance.

Princess Linghe clenched the brocade handkerchief in her hand and bit down on her lower lip, becoming even more angered, yet feeling even less daring to make a scene.

Li Wuyu, upon realizing that there were indeed people in the courtyard, was initially startled, but then resumed her detached attitude, continuing to enjoy the pastoral beauty with apparent carelessness.

An Jing, seeing Xiao Changyi shake the bamboo strip to make a louder sound, was at first unresponsive, and by the time she realized what was happening, she immediately moved closer, hugged her husband’s neck, and placed a kiss on his face.

Her husband was truly remarkable!

Xiao Changyi seemed somewhat unsatisfied with An Jing’s approach and turned to face her. Without saying a word, he just gazed intently at An Jing.

How could An Jing not understand the meaning in her husband’s gaze? Her smile instantly grew even larger, and she leaned in to kiss her husband’s lips.

Xiao Changyi immediately freed one hand, held the back of An Jing’s head, and deepened the kiss

Once the kiss ended, both were slightly breathless. Xiao Changyi reluctantly placed another kiss on An Jing’s lips before withdrawing his hand from the back of her head.

With her head now free, An Jing’s arms remained wrapped around Xiao Changyi’s neck, not letting go, but instead burying her face in her husband’s shoulder, laughingly chuckling, a gesture that evoked a slight curve at the cool corners of Xiao Changyi’s lips.

The three people outside the courtyard heard An Jing’s laughter. Meng Zhuqing’s expression remained unchanged; Li Wuyu was slightly taken aback, then continued to gaze at her scenery; only Princess Linghe clenched her teeth with jealousy, tighter and tighter.

After waiting for an hour, with her legs growing sore from standing, Princess Linghe finally could not hold back her impatience and called out respectfully but loudly, ”Prince, Princess Linghe requests an audience.”

But no one answered her!

Princess Linghe felt even more humiliated, embarrassed, and angry, but she did not want to leave.

She had traveled far and wide to get here, just to see Xiao Changyi, her beloved! As for the country girl Xiao Changyi had married, she did not even consider her worth her attention!

After finishing one bamboo basket, Xiao Changyi started on a second one, and it was not until two hours later that he allowed An Jing to open the courtyard door and let Princess Linghe and the others enter.

”Citizen Li Wuyu pays her respects to the Prince and Princess,” said Li Wuyu, kneeling and performing a ritual salute as soon as she entered the courtyard.

As for Princess Linghe, she acted as if she had not seen An Jing at all, offering only a curt bow to Xiao Changyi, ”Princess Linghe has the honor of seeing the Prince.”
