Chapter 314 Arrived
"Hmm~"
She let out a soft moan, her long eyelashes trembling as she struggled to open her heavy eyelids.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the Forbidden City, a pure white expanse. After a long pause, Xin Moyan remained lying on the bed in a starfish position, her face devoid of any emotion.
She carefully recalled the strange encounter in her dream last night, but it couldn't really be called a strange encounter, because it was with her beloved father and mother...
A moment later, she raised her eyebrows, then smiled broadly, a smile that was completely open and at ease.
At this moment, she is Xin Moyan, the real Xin Moyan, and she will cherish everything that she has not come easily even more.
"Your Highness, you're awake so early?"
Turning around, I saw Xiaodie slowly approaching the bedside carrying a basin of water.
"Um, Xiaodie, where's Big Brother?"
Xiaodie was stunned upon hearing this, seemingly unable to believe her ears, after all, this princess had never been so kind to the emperor.
"Your Highness, the Emperor summoned all the elders of the Xuanming Palace this morning, and they haven't finished their discussion yet!"
"Oh! What about my second and third brothers?"
"This morning I heard from the people of Xiaoyao Palace that the Third Prince learned that the Second Prince had given you a gift yesterday, and he also insisted on giving you a gift. He took the Holy Maiden out of the palace early this morning."
Xin Moyan pouted. She was already used to Baili Jueyan's actions. Poor little star can't sleep in!
Lost in thought, she threw off the covers and got out of bed.
"Your Highness, let me help you with your washing up!"
"it is good!"
Watching the little girl's quick and efficient movements, Xin Moyan suddenly thought of Cailian. She wondered how Cailian was doing. They had grown up together since childhood and had never been separated for so long. Her sudden disappearance must have made Cailian very worried...
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Xiaodie looked puzzled, but still respectfully handed over the wet handkerchief.
"No, I'm fine."
She quickly perked up, took the handkerchief, and haphazardly wiped her face.
"Xiaodie, I'll go see Big Brother when he's free."
"Oh...oh, yes, Your Highness."
She couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Why was Her Highness so concerned about the Emperor today?
At the same time, on an unnamed coastline in the dark, a giant ship was slowly approaching the shore.
"No words."
"..."
"Silent, awake."
Xin Moling reached out and nudged her shoulder. After a while, her breathing returned to evenness. He simply couldn't take it anymore.
"Flowers do not speak!"
"...What are you doing? You're disturbing other people's sleep, and you'll run out of toilet paper if they need to poop."
Hua Buyu's voice was very nasal, making her sound particularly irritable, and she waved her arms casually in the air a few times.
Xin Moling: "..."
"If you don't get up, we're abandoning you."
"Oh dear! It's not time yet. Don't wake me up so early. Don't you know I stayed up late last night? Besides, I'm pregnant now, so I should get plenty of rest."
She suddenly sat up in bed, disheveled and filthy, and with her eyes closed, she ranted and rave.
"...You still have the nerve to say you're pregnant? Hua Buyu, let me tell you, things are different now. I didn't care if you indulged yourself all night before, but now that you're pregnant, I won't allow you to get up in the middle of the night to have fun, nor will I allow you to disturb my godson's rest."
Hua Buyu rolled her eyes at him rudely and retorted while touching her stomach.
“Xin Moling, can you be reasonable? Do you expect me to stay up all night? It’s your godson who doesn’t sleep at night and keeps moving around in my belly. I, as his mother, have no choice but to have my days and nights reversed and adjust my sleep schedule.”
His lips twitched uncontrollably; he was utterly speechless.
"You've only been three months pregnant and you've already felt fetal movement?"
"Um...no fetal movement after three months? I feel like my son is always moving around in my belly, so I guess he's going to be a fussy baby!"
Xin Moling didn't say anything, turned around and left the room, since Hua Buyu was always so unreasonable.
Stepping out of the room, I saw Xuan Yuan standing alone by the ship's railing, his figure tall and slender, the hem of his black robe fluttering in the sea breeze.
Hearing footsteps, he didn't turn around, but spoke calmly, his voice a little hoarse.
"Brother, we're here."
Seeing him like this, Xin Moling frowned even more deeply, walked over to his side, and patted Xuan Yuan on the shoulder.
"Now that we have seen the territory, it proves that the ancient Cang Kingdom truly exists, and Yan'er must be here. Xuan Yuan, more than a month has passed. Before you see Yan'er, you must remain calm. This is not Yuan Qi, and there is no place for your forces here."
"I know, don't worry, brother."
Xuan Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes deep and unfathomable, making him hard to understand. However, a thin layer of frost lingered between his brows, making him look much more weathered.
His gaze was intense, fixed on the land not far away. The longing he had felt for Yan'er over the past few days had tormented him to the point of exhaustion. Heaven knows how much he missed Yan'er. Her laughter and joy echoed in his mind all the time. Every frown and smile of Yan'er had become his only thought these days.
"Ha~"
Hua Buyu stretched wearily, her eyes blank.
"What are you two doing standing there? Xuan Yuan, look, he woke me up so early in the morning. Where's Liu Qing? I'm hungry, I want to eat!"
Xuan Yuan: "..."
Xin Moling pursed her lips, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Buyu, you should eat less. What if you overeat and upset my godson?"
She got angry immediately after hearing this, and quickly jumped in front of the two of them, pointing her finger at Xin Moling's nose.
"Xin Moling, I haven't even started eating breakfast yet, and you're already worried that your godson will overeat?"
"It's because you've been eating too much lately."
"Humph!"
Hua Buyu glared at him fiercely, "I knew it, no man is any good! I haven't even had my child yet, and you're already worried about our son being stuffed, not caring at all whether I'm hungry or not."
"..."
"..."
Both of them were speechless. If it weren't for her recent enormous appetite, Xin Moling would never have given such an order.
She pursed her lips, filled with mixed emotions.
"Thank goodness! You're not the biological father of my child. If I had a difficult childbirth, knowing your personality, you would definitely save the baby and not the mother, and I would have died!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xuan Yuan suddenly swung his hand and smacked her hard on the forehead.
"what!"
With a loud bang, the ship seemed to shake.
"Xuan Yuan, are you trying to murder me?"
He glared coldly at Hua Buyu, "Yan'er once told me to avoid prophecies and not to say anything unlucky like difficult childbirth or premature death."
"Oh!"
Mentioning Xin Moyan immediately deflated her spirits, like a wilted eggplant.
"I've heard you all making a fuss since early this morning, what's wrong now?"
Before Hua Buyu could answer, Feng Qingyang followed Xie Cangming leisurely, talking as they walked.
"We've arrived, why aren't you getting ready to disembark? What are you still standing there for?"
"Huh? We're here?"
Hua Buyu turned to look at the opposite bank, her voice cracking with excitement.
