Chapter 251 Fang Nanxi's Transmigration to the Qing Dynasty 5
Chapter 251 Fang Nanxi's Time Travel in the Qing Dynasty (5)
As night slowly fell, the atmosphere in Qinglan Garden grew increasingly tense. Xingluo stood uneasily to the side. Before the Fourth Master came to Qinglan Garden, everything here was casual and natural, but now the situation was different.
"This servant will go and see how the dinner preparations are going," Xingluo muttered, looking extremely anxious.
Fang Nanxi shook her head helplessly and turned to Qiu Shuang, saying, "Why is Xingluo even more nervous than me?"
A smile flashed in Qiu Shuang's eyes. In fact, she was also very nervous, but she didn't show it. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Perhaps we servants are too happy and hoping that Fourth Master will come."
Fang Nanxi glanced at the sky and thought it was still early. She knew that Fourth Master was a man who devoted himself to his career, and she didn't know how long it would take for him to arrive.
She wondered if she should have dinner first. In this time and space, dinner time was around 5 pm (of course, it might actually be around 2 pm, but it doesn't matter too much). If she ate too early, there would be a late-night snack with wine.
At two quarters past noon, the Fourth Prince still hadn't appeared at Qinglan Garden. Xingluo grew increasingly anxious, worried that if the Fourth Prince were "snatched away" by other women in the inner courtyard, wouldn't the Princess become the laughingstock of the entire inner courtyard?
In the front courtyard, Fourth Master had finished his day's business, and it was already getting late. Su Peisheng hurriedly reminded him, "Master, it's getting late, isn't it time for dinner?"
Fourth Master glanced at him, and Su Peisheng immediately understood, then said, "Princess Fang's side is all ready, would you like to go to Qinglan Garden, Your Highness?"
"Let's go!" Fourth Master said without hesitation, striding towards Qinglan Garden.
A young eunuch carrying a lantern led the way, and it took the Fourth Prince quite a while to realize how far away Qinglan Garden really was.
When they arrived at Qinglan Garden, they could faintly hear voices coming from inside. Fourth Master gestured to Su Peisheng to keep quiet and stood in the courtyard to listen.
"Princess, aren't you going to wait for the Fourth Prince to have dinner together?" Xingluo looked helplessly at Fang Nanxi, who was happily eating.
Fang Nanxi originally planned to have dinner on time at 5:00 PM, but after waiting for the Fourth Master for 45 minutes, she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore.
Besides, if the Fourth Master doesn't come to Qinglan Garden for dinner tonight, wouldn't all these good dishes be wasted? So she decided to eat first, and eat as much as possible.
Fang Nanxi ate until her cheeks were bulging, while Qiu Shuang silently served her food.
Upon hearing the maid's words, Fourth Master became more interested in Fang Nanxi. This girl was truly extraordinary. He glanced at Su Peisheng.
"Fourth Prince has arrived!" Su Peisheng shouted in a high-pitched voice.
Fang Nanxi reluctantly put down the food in her hands, stood up and bowed to the Fourth Master: "Greetings, Your Excellency, may you be well."
A slender man walked in, with long, narrow phoenix eyes that exuded a cold and aloof air. Every move he made radiated nobility, but he wasn't as handsome as Fang Nanxi had imagined.
"Get up." Fourth Master glanced at the food on the table, then sat down in the chair at the head of the table.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat quiet. Fang Nanxi felt uneasy, her eyes glancing at the food from time to time. She said softly, "Has Master not eaten yet? Why don't we eat together? The food will get cold if we don't eat soon."
Fourth Master was amused by Fang Nanxi's words and Su Peisheng, being very perceptive, went to the kitchen and instructed them to prepare a few more new dishes.
The two walked to the dining table, and Fang Nanxi stood awkwardly to the side, pretending to serve the Fourth Master his meal.
"Master, please try this Jade Hibiscus Duck, it's delicious!" Fang Nanxi said, placing a piece of duck meat on Fourth Master's plate. While talking, she kept swallowing. She had only been eating for less than fifteen minutes and was far from full.
"Haha, alright, sit down and eat with us." Fourth Master was amused by Fang Nanxi's appearance again.
Every woman in the backyard serves him with utmost care; only she is so carefree.
"Thank you, sir." Fang Nanxi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly, letting Qiu Shuang continue to serve her food.
Xingluo tried desperately to signal Fang Nanxi with her eyes, but Fang Nanxi acted as if she didn't see them, only focusing on eating what was in her own bowl, while occasionally glancing at what was in the pot.
Helpless, Xingluo could only serve Fang Nanxi even more carefully. Su Peisheng had the eunuch add a few more dishes, and Fang Nanxi tasted each one.
She ate with such gusto that even the Fourth Master was infected by her appetite and ate an extra half bowl of rice.
Su Peisheng's face lit up with a smile when he saw this. Fourth Master was already rather thin and loved to eat vegetarian food. He didn't like to eat in the summer and suffered from summer heat every year, which made him very thin.
Fourth Master put down his chopsticks when he saw that Fang Nanxi had almost finished eating. Looking at Fang Nanxi's satisfied expression, a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
After dinner, Fourth Master took Fang Nanxi for a walk near Qinglan Garden, which lasted about 15 minutes.
After returning to Qinglan Garden, the two went to take a bath. Fang Nanxi lingered for a quarter of an hour before entering the inner room, where she saw the Fourth Master dressed in loose clothes, sitting on the couch reading a book.
Fang Nanxi suddenly tensed up, her face turning bright red. Fourth Master looked up and saw Fang Nanxi's graceful figure, beautiful face, fair complexion with a rosy glow, and lips like a touch of vermilion—truly a rare beauty.
Fourth Master wasn't a saint. He put down the book in his hand, strode over to Fang Nanxi, picked her up, and carried her to the bedside.
"Not afraid."
"Please have mercy, sir."
……
Everything happened naturally. The next morning, Fang Nanxi vaguely heard some faint sounds as the people around her began to get up.
She felt completely drained and cursed the bastard in her heart. He had been making a scene until midnight last night, and she felt like she hadn't slept for more than a few hours.
After Fourth Master had finished tidying up, Fang Nanxi sat up in a daze.
The blanket slipped off her body with her movements, revealing her graceful figure. The spots and marks on it were enough to prove how intense the night before had been.
When Fourth Master heard the noise and saw Fang Nanxi sit up, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. He walked to the bedside, frowned, and picked up the quilt to cover her with it.
He was no longer a naive young man, but last night's experience still broadened his horizons; it was a pure lust that wasn't for the sake of offspring.
"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer, and then..." Fourth Master pondered for a moment.
Fang Nanxi had her eyes closed, but when she heard that Fourth Master hadn't finished speaking, she opened her eyes and looked at him with a question in her eyes, as if asking, "Why did you stop?"
"Heh, we'll pay our respects to the Fujin when it's time to pay our respects," the Fourth Prince continued.
The Fourth Prince initially felt some pity for her and wanted to excuse her from paying her respects, but he was worried that doing so would make her a thorn in the side of everyone in the inner quarters, since the Fujin was still in charge of the inner quarters.
"Mmm," Fang Nanxi responded and obediently lay down.
Fourth Master quietly left Qinglan Garden, and told Su Peisheng to keep his voice down so as not to disturb Fang Nanxi's rest.
After Fourth Master left, Fang Nanxi's eyes immediately cleared, and she was no longer sleepy at all. She took out a recovery pill from her spatial storage, swallowed it, and her body quickly regained its strength.
Men don't like women who are too smart; being naive yet bold is the persona Fang Nanxi has created for herself this time.
The Fourth Master felt relaxed when he came to Qinglan Garden, or rather, this relaxed atmosphere was deliberately created by Fang Nanxi so that she could become a unique presence in the backyard.
Who would fall in love with a feudal prince, especially one who would become emperor? Fang Nanxi would never give her heart to someone like that.
After thinking for a while, Fang Nanxi closed her eyes to rest again.
