When Feng Ling heard this, she walked out.
Indeed, outside the door, a carriage was parked.
When she walked over, a few guards quickly bowed to her. “Priestess.”
Then, a servant said, “Priestess, the books in this carriage are all kinds of civilian books we found in the capital and the neighboring towns. The other books will be sent to you in the next few days.”
Feng Ling didn’t need to ask to know what was going on. An indescribable emotion suddenly flashed across her heart.
She gestured to her guard. “Move the books to my study.”
After the guard moved all the books in, Feng Ling said to the guard who sent the books, “You’ve worked hard.”
Then, she went to the study.
The people sent by the king really brought back a big variety of books.
Feng Ling read quickly. She read a book every few minutes. When she picked it up, she didn’t read the title. When she suddenly flipped open a small yellow book with illustrations, her expression was extremely fascinating.
Coincidentally, she happened to be staring at a posture in the book and thinking, ‘So our ancients also have such an uninhibited side to them’, when the door was suddenly pushed open.
Feng Ling turned around and stared blankly at the king, who had walked in. She said in dissatisfaction, “Why didn’t you knock?”
The king walked over and glanced at the book in her hand. He said calmly, “I did knock. You were reading too seriously.”
After saying that, he walked up to her and looked down at the page in her hand. His eyes darkened.
Feng Ling blinked. Only then did she remember to close the book and hide it behind her back. She quickly clarified with a red face. “You were the one who sent someone to find this.”
“Mm.” The king extended his long arm and walked around her to take the book. He opened the book with a calm expression.
Feng Ling was displeased and subconsciously called out his name again. “Jingzhou, how can you read such a book in front of me!”
The king looked up at her and seemed to consider it for a moment before closing the book. “You’re right. You’re not suitable to read such a book yet, so I’m confiscating it.”
Feng Ling: “…”
Feng Ling opened her mouth, wanting to retort.
However, thinking that this person was a king without memories of his next life, she could only snort at him in dissatisfaction.
The king put the book into his wide sleeve and said to her sternly, “The next batch of books is here. I have to check them before you can read them.”
Feng Ling looked at him with her big eyes.
The king looked into her eyes and suddenly changed the topic. “Did you discover something after you grounded Feng Lan?”
Feng Ling opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything.
The king frowned. Thinking that she didn’t want to talk about it, he said, “You must have sensed something. I’ll send someone to investigate. If Feng Lan really has disloyal intentions towards you, I’ll make her disappear.”
When Feng Ling heard this, a strange feeling suddenly flashed across her heart.
Previously she experienced these few months, the king had never doubted Feng Lan.
Could it be… that the king already had some awareness of Yan?
At the thought of this, Feng Ling looked at the king. Her heart was pounding a little too quickly.
Under Feng Ling’s gaze, the king’s heart burned and his throat bobbed.
He reached out to cover her eyes. His voice was hoarse and dangerous. “Little Ling’er, do you know the consequences of looking at a man like this?”
With her eyes covered, Feng Ling subconsciously blinked twice in his palm.
In the next moment, the king took a deep breath and pulled her into his arms.
He said in a low voice in her ear, “Little Ling’er, don’t provoke my patience. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to wait for five months.”
Feng Ling was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red.
…
In the next few days, as long as the books outside were sent over, the king would appear on time. He first read the titles of the books before letting Feng Ling read the content inside.
During this period, there were indeed a few more such scandalous books.
Every time, the king would put the book away in his sleeve and take it with him when he left.
Every time Feng Ling saw him take away that kind of book, she had an urge to ask him where he was taking it.
Actually, she wanted to ask if he would read it.
However, this was just a thought.
On the fifth day, Feng Ling finally saw a strange book about rebirth.
If one party remembered their past life and present life, and the other party forgot, this book also mentioned how the party that remembered could awaken the memory of the other party.
As she read, Feng Ling felt that something was wrong.
What should she say about this book?
It actually had the same effect as eroticism, which was to make one party use their own body to awaken the other.
At this point, Feng Ling suddenly glanced guiltily at the king, who had decided to simply deal with the matters of the country here. She wondered if she could wake up his memories as Yan if she really did as in the books.
Most importantly, the people in this era viewed chastity as being so important. If she took the initiative, who knew what he would think?
The moment Feng Ling looked at the king, he noticed.
He had originally enjoyed being stared at by Feng Ling, but seeing that she kept staring at him, he finally didn’t have the mood to work. He looked up and asked, “What is it?”
After asking that, he stood up and walked up to her.
Perhaps out of guilt, Feng Ling closed the book in her hand and said, “Nothing.”
The king’s gaze darkened. He raised his hand to take the book from her and quickly flipped through it.
“Hey, Jingzhou, return the book to me.”
As Feng Ling spoke, she wanted to snatch it.
The king was even more certain that there was something in this book.
He raised the book to prevent Feng Ling from snatching it and continued reading.
“Big baddie, I said that there’s nothing in this book!”
Feng Ling panicked and grabbed his arm. With a tap of her toes, she jumped up to snatch it.
The king freed up an arm and wrapped it around her waist, fixing her in place. He said, “You’re feeling guilty. Also… a big baddie? Mm… who’s a big baddie?”
The two of them were too close at this moment. Feng Ling rubbed against him, and he didn’t have the mood to flip through the book anymore. However, he cared a lot about these three words.
His Little Ling’er had never called him a big baddie in such a tone.
How could Feng Ling know what he was thinking? She reached out a hand and covered his eyes while standing on tiptoes to get the book.
The king’s body tilted back and Feng Ling fell forward.
Then, her lips pressed against his throat.
She felt the king’s Adam’s apple move and sensed that his breathing was much heavier than usual.
Feng Ling’s mind went blank and she subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, not knowing what to do.
In the next second, her chin was raised and a large hand pressed against the back of her head.
His scorching lips pressed down.
It wasn’t until she was almost unable to breathe that the king let go of her.
Feng Ling lay on his chest, her breathing irregular.
A restrained and hoarse voice came from above her head. “Little Ling’er, do you know who you kissed just now?”
Feng Ling was stunned and didn’t react to his question.
Then, he said in a domineering voice, “Remember, I’m your Jingzhou. You’re the only one who can call me by my name. Forget that man called Yan.”
Feng Ling: “…”
He was actually still concerned about this matter?
Feng Ling suddenly felt a headache.
This time, it was obvious that the king didn’t intend to let Feng Ling off. Seeing that she didn’t say anything, he hugged her waist and approached her with his lips, pretending to kiss her again.
“Little Ling’er, promise me.”
Feng Ling opened her mouth but didn’t know how to answer him.
The king’s gaze darkened.
Feng Ling felt the change in his body and quickly pushed him. “You… don’t be impulsive.”
The king looked deeply into her eyes. After a while, he suppressed the anger in his body and leaned his chin on her shoulder. He muttered, “Little Ling’er, I can’t bear to make you afraid or make things difficult for you, but… don’t do anything that will let me down.”
If his men could find out who that man called Yan was, he wouldn’t be so impulsive.
It was because he couldn’t find anything that he was on the verge of losing his temper. He was worried that he wouldn’t be able to wait for their wedding.
Feng Ling sensed his irritable mood and subconsciously caressed his back. She thought for a while and probed, “If I say that Yan is you in the future, do you believe me?”
“I do. I’ll believe anything you say.”
“…”
It was obvious that he didn’t believe her!
…
The king had many national affairs to attend to, so he left quickly.
Feng Ling sat there in a daze for a while. In the end, she picked up the strange novel (the king forgot to take it away) and continued reading. This time, she deliberately slowed down. Although the methods to awaken the memories of one’s previous life were embarrassing, it also gave Feng Ling some inspiration.
When Feng Ling came out of the study, the sky was already dark.
The next morning, the High Priestess sent someone over to say to Feng Ling, “Priestess, the High Priestess wants you to go over and discuss this year’s spring harvest ritual.”
Feng Ling nodded and changed her clothes before going to the High Priestess’s residence.
The High Priestess had injured her foundation when she saved the Grand General last time. She had been recuperating in the bedroom during this period of time. When she saw Feng Ling enter, she quickly waved her hand to invite her over to sit.
She said, “I can’t organize the sacrificial ceremony this year. You can organize it on my behalf.”
Feng Ling had long known how to organize such a large-scale sacrificial ceremony, so she didn’t refuse. “Okay, Master.”
Then, the two of them talked about how to organize this ritual and what needed to be done.
At this point, the High Priestess suddenly said, “Since you’re organizing the sacrificial ceremony, you must have your guardian protect you.”
