Wu Yuemei’s lips curved slightly, revealing a gentle smile on her face as she turned to the housekeeper at her side.“Where did Guanger go?”
Upon Wu Yuemei’s inquiry, the standing housekeeper quickly bent over to pay respects and said, “Madam, Steward Wang has already gone to call the Princely Heir, he should arrive any moment now.”
Wu Yuemei nodded slightly, then turned to the Queen of the South Ming and said, “The last time you saw Guanger was almost ten years ago, back when he was still a little boy, but now he has grown into a large man.”
The Queen of the South Ming covered her red lips with her delicate hand, “Is that so? Time flies so fast, when I see him later, I might not even recognize him.”
Wu Yuemei laughed lightly and said, “You will be able to recognize him, after all, it’s right here in Duke Zhen’s Mansion, where you might recognize him at a glance.”
“If he were out of the mansion, the boy has not been as high-profile as usual recently, usually only with one or two guards, you might indeed not recognize him.”
Having said that, Wu Yuemei seemed to notice something and looked towards the small path outside the hall, smiling, “Look, here he comes.”
Hearing this, the Queen of the South Ming shifted her beautiful gaze over.
Cheng Guang entered the hall, his eyes sweeping across everyone present, gliding past Wu Yuemei, and finally settling on a noblewoman whose delicate figure was veiled in sheer gauze.
This woman’s body was slender like a willow, her skin as smooth as snow and fragrant like creamy butter, gracefully poised, and her curvaceous silhouette was clearly visible beneath the thin layers of her robe, neither too plump nor too skinny—just one glance was enough to make one feel that her figure was rarely seen in this world, enchantingly voluptuous.
One couldn’t even imagine how intoxicating it would be to be close to her.
Cheng Guang recognized the newcomer at a glance.
It was the Queen of the South Ming.
Cheng Guang held no reverence for the Queen of the South Ming as he did for his aunt, his gaze unrestrainedly scrutinizing her figure.
The Queen of the South Ming noted Cheng Guang’s bold gaze, and her lovely countenance stiffened somewhat.
Feeling a bit uneasy, she shifted slightly to the side, so as not to expose her whole delicate body to Cheng Guang’s staring.
But her body was too seductive, and under Wu Yuemei’s watch, she dared not make her movements too obvious. Otherwise, if Wu Yuemei were to ask why she made such a move, it would be hard to explain.
After all, to say, “Your son keeps staring at me, making me uncomfortable,” would likely darken Wu Yuemei’s face on the spot.
In the eyes of parents, their children are always pure and innocent.
They would never think in that direction.
The Queen of the South Ming had not expected that this legendary Princely Heir of Duke Zhen’s Mansion would act in such a manner towards her, almost as if he wanted to solder his eyes onto her body, unwilling to look away in the slightest.
Was he this discourteous to his own aunt as well?
The corners of the Queen of the South Ming’s mouth twitched slightly, her body tense. Her original curiosity about Cheng Guang turned into disgust right away.
She had originally thought that the Princely Heir was able to discover the hiding place of the Devil Clan because of his brilliant talents. Now seeing him look like a lustful ghost, unwilling even to spare his own aunt, she feared he might have found the Devil Clan’s hiding place by mere accident.
The Queen of the South Ming already had her calculations. She rose slightly and, treading gracefully, walked towards Cheng Guang.
As she approached,
The pleasant scent of the Queen of the South Ming wafted over, and Cheng Guang narrowed his eyes slightly, watching this legendary Queen of the South Ming.
The King of South Ming was no good man.
Therefore, it could be deduced that the Queen of South Ming was no good either.
Her visit this time was probably not with good intentions, so Cheng Guang did not give her the respect due to her status as his aunt.
Instead, taking advantage of the situation, he used the f91 scanning peak skill to carefully examine the Queen of the South Ming from head to toe.
It must be said, the King of South Ming, or rather the crown prince, really had great fortune to possess such an extraordinarily beautiful Queen.
If it were an ordinary person, even if it were for the imperial throne, they might not be willing to trade for this princess.
But the crown prince was different, he still had ambitions and was determined to reclaim his position, even if it meant consorting with the Devil Clan.
Cheng Guang observed the Queen of the South Ming closely, she didn’t seem to have much Devil Qi about her. On the surface, she appeared not to be of the Devil Clan, but of the Human Race, and the likelihood was that she was indeed human.
If she were of the Devil Clan, she would have likely been discovered by the royal family by now.
But come to think of it…
There seemed to be no traces of Martial Cultivation on the Queen of the South Ming.
And there were no signs of any other forms of spiritual practice either. Could it be that she had never practiced before?
Cheng Guang guessed inwardly.
At this moment, the Queen of the South Ming had already walked up to Cheng Guang. Her stunning face slightly lifted as she smiled at Cheng Guang, saying, “So this is Guanger, truly handsome and extraordinary. With such looks, I don’t know how many girls’ hearts he must have captivated out there.”
As she spoke, the Queen of the South Ming placed a hand on Cheng Guang’s shoulder, making a fleeting contact, before quickly letting go. She turned to Wu Yuemei and said, “I don’t know if Guanger is already betrothed, but if not, I could introduce him to a few good girls.”
Hearing this, Wu Yuemei responded with a smiling brow, “Guanger is already engaged, but if Ming Xian has some favored young ladies in mind, feel free to send their portraits over. If suitable, we could take them as concubines for our Guanger, that wouldn’t be a problem.”
At this, Wu Yuemei actually seemed quite interested, looking at Cheng Guang, “Guanger, what do you think?”
“Your mother can find you a few more marriage prospects, but they will all have to come after Yanqiu, Qin Yanqiu will still be the principal wife, and her status cannot change.”
Cheng Guang’s gaze shifted from the Queen of the South Ming’s delicate body to Wu Yuemei, and he quickly shook his head and waved his hands to refuse.
“Mother, there’s no need for that. Why marry so many women?”
Upon hearing Cheng Guang’s response, Wu Yuemei wrinkled her brow in annoyance, “You child, we are counting on you to continue the lineage of Duke Zhen’s Mansion. Qin Yanqiu works in the military and might not return home frequently after the wedding. With only one child from Yanqiu, how many can you father?”
At this point, the Queen of the South Ming seemed to agree, looking at Cheng Guang with a hint of playfulness in her eyes, and laughed, “I have many suitable girls from good families here. If my nephew Guanger needs it, I can take you to see them anytime.”
Wu Yuemei nodded slightly, “Ming Xian, send the portraits first for us to see. If their family background and character are without issues, we can arrange for them to meet and try.”
Cheng Guang felt helpless since he always felt that the Queen of the South Ming’s words probably had no good intentions.
His mother, the naïve and sweet, just believed whatever anyone told her.
Right now, it seemed like these two had already nearly settled on finding him several concubines.
Speaking of which, while it was fine to find concubines, he really dared not accept those pushed by the Queen of the South Ming.
Otherwise, getting stabbed in the middle of the night, who could bear that?
So he immediately shook his head in refusal, and pointing at the Queen of the South Ming said, “Mother, if they’re as beautiful as auntie here, I wouldn’t mind considering it. But if they’re not as beautiful as auntie, then forget it.”
Upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, Wu Yuemei’s expression turned sour, her lips puffing out slightly.
“Guanger, what nonsense are you talking about? Women with your aunt’s beauty are few in all of Great Zhou. Where could we find so many like her?”
Cheng Guang spread his hands with a smile, looking at the Queen of the South Ming with a teasing tone, “That’s why I said, never mind it. After all, auntie can’t possibly marry me herself as a concubine, right?”
With these words, the Queen of the South Ming’s expression changed as she stared at Cheng Guang, stunned by how bold he dared to speak.
Anger caused her chest to heave up and down slightly.
Her jade-like fingers clenched tightly, turning a faint blue.
Meanwhile, Wu Yuemei, without thinking further, looked as if she was about to playfully hit Cheng Guang, raising her hand and lightly tapping on his forehead.
“You shouldn’t joke about your aunt like that. You must respect your elders.”
