Chapter 477 - Why did you have to change? (2)

Zhu Yurun looked at Pengxin and nodded. ”There are many times when I have that same thought too, but Mister Ji said that if you want too many things in this world, you'll only end up making yourself feel worse. It's normal for men to have a harem. Not everyone will be like the current marquis, who wholeheartedly wants to spend his life with just one person. It'll be worth it if you're the most important person in his heart.”

Pengxin considered this advice for a long time before nodding.

But, she wasn't even able to grasp that position in his heart. She wasn't the most important person to him.

Normally, a servant girl would bring over tea after the meal was finished. However, after Pengxin took the offered cup of tea, she didn't drink it today. Her mind was too occupied with thoughts of Ning Mingjie. To her surprise, he actually appeared in front of her after she had been thinking about him for a while.

”What are you thinking about?” Ning Mingjie raised his eyebrows as he looked at her. He took a seat next to her.

”You...” Pengxin looked at him. Soon after, she realized her answer wasn't right. She pursed her lips and said, ”We've been married for so long, so I was wondering why I still haven't gotten pregnant. When I see Xing-er, I truly feel a bit envious.”

Ning Mingjie chuckled. ”You were thinking about that issue for that long of a time?”

”En.” Pengxin blushed and nodded.

Ning Mingjie laughed in spite of himself. Sometimes, this Yuzhen Princess, who didn't know propriety, was quite cute.

”You can't get a child just by thinking about it,” he said.

When the bed curtain fell down, Pengxin's eyes widened. As it turned, when a woman asked a man this question, it meant that she was asking for his favor? Did this mean that in the future she didn't need to act coy to seduce him? She could just directly ask him for a child?

Princess Pengxin thought that she had discovered a great secret. She felt immeasurably satisfied with herself.

It seemed that her relations.h.i.+p with Ning Mingjie was gradually improving. She learned the skills that a woman from Great Song would have: embroidery and cooking. Even the thing that she hated the most before, poetry and songs, she patiently learned them because he liked them.

The formerly unruly princess that only knew how to play around with weapons now wished to become an able and virtuous wife.

Luoqi said, ”The general is usually away on military campaigns for years on end. His body has many old injuries. This servant heard that one-hundred-year-old ginseng was recently discovered on Fu Mountain. It's the type that can move around. Only a person with a sincere heart would be able to find it. It can cure a person's old injuries and all illnesses. This servant wants to go and find this for the general.”

Pengxin was guarded against her. Ji-s.h.i.+ had said that she couldn't believe Luoqi's words, so Pengxin's only response was nodding and saying, ”Alright, you can go.”

Ning Mingjie had once received an injury on his leg. The wound had reached all the way to his bone. On rainy days, this injury would ache. She had heard from a doctor that his leg would hurt more as he aged.

Pengxin was slightly tempted and wanted to go to Fu Mountain to dig up that ginseng too. However, after she told Zhu Yurun about this, Zhu Yurun shook her head. ”What ginseng? I haven't heard anything about this. She's definitely lying to you. Look, she definitely won't be able to bring anything back. Don't be fooled by her!”
