Qu Nian: Bah, Poisonous Woman Ren.
Fairies really are good at faking things.
I just don't know if she's had... nose and breast augmentation done on herself.
Nanxing asked the question for him, part of it.
Have you gotten bigger?
Her serious expression amused Ren Yingying.
Ren Yingying said proudly, "I'm exceptionally talented, I don't need to."
Qu Nian: "..."
Nanxing nodded. "I might be able to use it."
"Are you young?" Ren Yingying asked.
To be honest, she never looked at Nanxing with the same scrutinizing eye one would use to examine women.
She thought Nanxing was incredibly handsome and never thought she wasn't sexy.
Ability itself is the greatest form of sexiness.
Nanxing nodded again. "It's better than nothing."
Even the Hua Cha couldn't stand it anymore and tried to change the subject, but failed.
Qu Nian: Women's private conversations are even more numerous than men's.
"Take it off and let me see." Ren Yingying had said this many times in her previous life, and didn't think it was anything special.
However, both Hua Cha and Qu Nian were deeply shocked.
Unexpectedly, Nanxing paused for a moment and then said, "That's fine too."
Then Qu Nian couldn't take it anymore and ran out.
He is a gentleman and would not take advantage of others.
Hua Cha blushed and said, "I'll go out and keep watch, making sure no one barges in recklessly."
Even among women, undressing can be somewhat embarrassing.
Qu Nian squatted under the eaves, watching the Hua Cha come out, his dog eyes wide open.
What are you doing out here! Go back and keep watch!
Hua Cha looked down and patted his head. "Hungry?"
Qu Nian: I want to bite someone right now.
Inside the house.
Ren Yingying: "Oh my god, it really is!"
Nanxing: "It's not true, would it be fun to lie to you?"
Ren Yingying's hands were itching to make this—it would be so impressive that it could be used as an example for advertising; she would feel incredibly accomplished.
"Shall I make it for you?"
She also said, "What's the point of bringing a cosmetic surgery operating room with me? It's useless."
It seems to have worked!
We have the materials! And it's high-tech, the effect will definitely be fantastic.
Nanxing pulled her clothes together. "No, I just wanted to ask."
Ren Yingying: "..."
Okay, are you just teasing her?
Such exceptional items are truly rare and hard to come by.
"Think about it some more? It's free!" Ren Yingying said with a grin. "But if it slows down your sword-drawing speed, then forget it. After all, an extra piece of meat is quite heavy. You really don't know our troubles."
Nanxing: "..."
Is she concerned about the speed at which she can draw her sword?
"Tell me your concerns," Ren Yingying said, taking a sip of water.
"My only concern is that I don't want Pei Shen to benefit from this."
Ren Yingying almost spat out her drink.
What grudge do you hold against him?
"I just don't want him to be smug."
"Nanxing, there's something wrong with your thinking!" Ren Yingying said. "What does this have to do with Pei Shen? Aren't you the one who's bothered by this now?"
Don't try to convince her you don't mind; if you don't mind, she won't keep the conversation going.
Nanxing: "I'll think about it some more."
"Let's do it," Ren Yingying said. "I can't charge you. It's very simple, and it won't leave a scar..."
A few days later, Pei Shen finally managed to extricate himself from the imperial examination.
He returned to the mansion and went to the back courtyard to ask the maid, "Where is Madam?"
"The lady is in her room."
Pei Shen went straight into the room and was startled to see Nanxing lying on the bed.
Nanxing rarely sits, let alone lies down.
"Little Birdie, what's wrong?" Seeing Nanxing's deathly pale face, Pei Shen knelt on the footstool, completely panicked. "If you weren't feeling well, why didn't you let someone call me?"
"It's my period, I'm weak and in pain," Nanxing said.
Pei Shen's eyes lit up with delight. "You're on your period again?"
Because of the strong drugs she had taken, Nanxing's period was almost nonexistent.
But after recuperating, she had her period last month, and unexpectedly, she came again this month.
Does this mean that her health is getting better?
"Um."
I'll have someone make you some soup.
"I've already given the orders myself."
"Well..." Pei Shen rubbed his hands together, "Shall I rub your tummy?"
Nanxing did not object.
Pei Shen pulled back the covers and expertly lifted her clothes...
Then, he froze.
Because after the clothes were rolled up, they draped over her chest, making it very obvious.
For a moment, Pei Shen suspected that she had hidden a concealed weapon.
Nanxing: "What's wrong?"
Pei Shen lowered his eyes. "It's nothing."
Perhaps she was planning a prank? If only she were.
There was never a sense of ease between the two of them.
Nanxing: "Are you blind?"
Pei Shen: "???"
Nanxing lifted her clothes herself.
Pei Shen:!!!
"Who are you?" He instinctively stepped back, his smile instantly turning to ice.
However, he forgot that he was in a half-squatting, half-kneeling position, so when he stepped back, he missed a step and almost fell flat on his back like a turtle.
He stared at Nanxing in shock.
That's right, that tone of voice, that attitude when facing yourself—who can imitate that?
But! Something's not right!
Nanxing was delighted, a beautiful smile blooming on her face like an iron tree in bloom.
"Isn't this what you've been dreaming about?"
Pei Shen finally confirmed it: this was Nanxing, the Nanxing that no one could imitate.
"What's going on?" He lunged at him again.
Nanxing: "Awakened."
Pei Shen: "Little Birdie! Tell the truth!"
"It couldn't be that I carried two steamed buns with me," Nanxing, putting down her clothes. "My stomach still hurts."
Pei Shen rubbed her lower abdomen, his gaze constantly drifting towards her sensitive areas.
"It's swollen?" he couldn't help but guess.
Nanxing: "The kind that doesn't go down in swelling."
Pei Shen: "... What exactly happened?!"
No matter how he asked, Nanxing insisted that he had grown up.
When Pei Shen asked again, she replied, "If you don't like it, then forget it."
Pei Shen: "You didn't do something bad to your health, did you? Little Birdie, look at me, I'm serious! I haven't paid any attention to you..."
Am I that stupid?
"Then, this..."
"The Princess gave me the medicine." She couldn't sell Ren Yingying.
It's alright with the Princess Consort; everyone knows she has superb medical skills and is omnipotent.
Pei Shen: "You can't just take any medicine!"
"My stomach hurts, do what you're supposed to do."
Pei Shen: "... How come I didn't know that Your Highness had such a medicine before?"
There's a lot you don't know.
Pei Shen: "..."
However, upon hearing that Tang Zhuyun had helped, he felt relieved.
The Princess Consort is unfathomable.
Meanwhile, Ren Yingying was also feeling smug, writing to Tang Zhuyun: "Tangbao, I did it again! I'm so amazing!"
Tang Zhuyun sneezed several times in a row.
Xiu'er said, "It must be Zhou Xu talking about you. I wonder how her arrangements are going."
"The medicine shouldn't arrive for another ten days or so, no rush," Tang Zhuyun said. "Wasn't Yanran supposed to be coming for dinner? Why isn't she here yet? Send someone to check on her."
In fact, Yanran was stopped by someone.
