463: The initiative is in your hands.
Of course, those like Duan Zhengchun, who are directly and irrevocably bound by the System, are exceptions.
"You're good, you're really good. It's such a waste you don't become an actor," Duan Zhengchun said, giving Moon Invitation a thumbs-up.
"An actor? What's that?" Moon Invitation looked at Duan Zhengchun in confusion.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it. Since you have such a secret medicine, what are we waiting for? Go get it quickly," Duan Zhengchun urged.
"Hehe... Your Highness, you really are a lecher, so eager," Moon Invitation laughed, tapping Duan Zhengchun's nose before turning and leaving.
Duan Zhengchun was completely stunned. Had he just been teased? And by Moon Invitation, the ice-cold beauty?
Indeed, as someone once said, when an ice-cold beauty falls in love, she can be bolder than anyone.
Especially in front of the person she loves, she holds nothing back, revealing her feelings without any reservation.
Now that Moon Invitation had his child and was one hundred percent loyal to him, her heart naturally belonged entirely to him.
This change was truly a delightful surprise.
"She really is a temptress. What man wouldn't go crazy for a woman like that?"
"But of course, the prerequisite is that you must first win her favor," Duan Zhengchun mused, stroking his chin with a lecherous smile.
Moon Invitation soon had someone prepare the medicinal decoction and personally brought it to Huang Rong's room.
At that moment, Huang Rong was sitting alone at the table, lost in thought, still pondering when to go to His Highness's room. The courtyard now housed more than just herself; there was also Invincible East, Moon Invitation, and now Jiang Yuyan.
If she didn't hurry, she would truly fall behind.
However, with so many people around, if she really stayed in His Highness's room and didn't come out, wouldn't they all laugh at her?
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
It pulled Huang Rong from her thoughts. Puzzled, she went to open the door and saw Moon Invitation standing there, holding a bowl of medicinal soup.
"Oh, Sister Yue, why are you here so late? Please, come in."
"It's nothing. I just wanted to come chat with you, have a heart-to-heart. I hope I'm not disturbing your rest?" Moon Invitation said with a smile as she walked in.
"Sister, what are you saying? Of course, it's no disturbance. I couldn't sleep anyway. Let's have a good chat," Huang Rong replied with a nod and a smile.
However, seeing the medicinal soup Moon Invitation was holding, Huang Rong felt a flicker of doubt.
You came to chat, but you brought medicine?
"Sister Yue, what medicine is this?" Huang Rong asked, looking curiously at the bowl on the table.
"This decoction was specially prepared for you, Sister Rong. I know what's worrying you."
"So, I specially prepared this for you. Drink it, then put in a good effort with His Highness. I guarantee you'll also conceive His Highness's baby," Moon Invitation said, looking at Huang Rong with a knowing smile.
Hearing Moon Invitation's blunt words, Huang Rong's pretty face instantly flushed crimson with shyness.
"Oh, Sister, what are you saying?"
"There's no need to be shy, Sister. We are all good sisters. Logically, you entered the household before me, so I should be calling you 'sister'."
"But you didn't do that; you gave me enough respect instead."
"Given the current situation, how could I just watch you secretly suffer over this matter? This is a secret formula, specifically for those who want a baby. So, Sister, you should know what to do next, right?"
"But don't worry. Tonight, both Invincible East and I have matters to attend to. As for that girl Yuyan, don't mind her. His Highness won't go looking for her."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that you, Sister, can manage to keep His Highness occupied," Moon Invitation added with a laugh.
"I never expected Sister to have already thought of a strategy for me."
"If I don't put in the effort, I'd be letting down Sister's kindness," Huang Rong said, her face rosy, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at Moon Invitation.
"Well then, the night is short. You must work hard, Sister. I'll take my leave now and not delay you and His Highness's... good time," Moon Invitation said, winking at Huang Rong before turning and leaving.
After Moon Invitation left, Huang Rong looked at the medicinal soup before her, took a deep breath, and drank it all in one go. She had someone prepare bathwater, took a thorough bath, and then changed into the balenciaga outfit Duan Zhengchun had previously given her.
And so, in this state of being 'unencumbered', she went to find Duan Zhengchun.
Duan Zhengchun had been keeping an eye on the situation over there. When he saw Huang Rong coming to him like this, his eyes immediately lit up.
'Tsk tsk, tonight's going to be fun.'
Soon, a knock sounded at the door. With a thought from Duan Zhengchun, the door opened, revealing Huang Rong's graceful figure standing at the threshold.
Huang Rong was feeling nervous at this moment. It was the first time she had been so bold, dressing like this and actively seeking out Duan Zhengchun.
But before she could speak, her body flew uncontrollably into the room, landing directly in Duan Zhengchun's arms.
"Ronger, it's so late. Not sleeping, coming to find your prince dressed like this... what are your intentions?" Duan Zhengchun asked with a smile, hooking a finger under Huang Rong's delicate, rounded chin.
"Your Highness, you're biased," Huang Rong said, pretending to be wronged as she glanced at him.
"What do you mean by that? When have I ever been biased?" Duan Zhengchun asked, pretending not to understand as he looked at her.
"Hmph, both sisters entered the household later than I did, yet they already have Your Highness's babies, while I... I don't have any sign of one yet."
"And you still say you're not biased?" Huang Rong looked at Duan Zhengchun with a pitiful expression.
"So that's what this is about. You're wronging me, you know."
"Their situations before were different from yours, and it was quite dangerous."
"I kept Moon Invitation... occupied... for three days and three nights without rest. Invincible East's constitution was a bit weaker; she lasted two days and two nights."
"Moreover, when I had my Breakthrough, I almost accidentally caused Invincible East to... perish."
"Besides, you're still young, only eighteen. There's no rush," Duan Zhengchun explained.
"How am I still young? Under normal circumstances, at my age, I'd already be a mother to several children."
"So, I don't care. I want a baby too. I want one," Huang Rong began to act coquettishly in Duan Zhengchun's arms.
She had already drunk the medicine. Today's mission *had* to be accomplished.
"Alright then. Since you insist, Ronger, I naturally must fulfill this wish of yours."
"Today, I'll hand the initiative over to you. I won't take the lead," Duan Zhengchun said with a laugh and a nod.
"Ah, Your Highness, you're so bad..." Huang Rong shyly poked Duan Zhengchun's chest.
"Haha... Isn't that what Ronger likes the most?" Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but laugh heartily.
That night was destined not to be quiet. Jiang Yuyan had been Cultivating the Bright Jade Skill. She had started later than others.
She didn't want to fall behind again, so she was putting in extra effort during her Cultivation.
However, suddenly, strange sounds reached Jiang Yuyan's ears. The sounds had an intangible penetrating power. She didn't want to listen, but they kept forcing their way into her ears.
"What's going on? Who's making those noises so late at night? And the sounds are so strange... as if someone is injured?"
"That can't be right. This is His Highness's residence. Who could possibly hurt someone in front of His Highness?" Jiang Yuyan frowned and muttered to herself.
