Chapter 150 My Sister Is Oblivious
He Mingyan frowned slightly, and after a moment's thought, she seemed to understand something. She then said, "Has he told you when he'll come to see you next? The two of you are like this: one is like a beautiful woman hidden away in the palace, while the other is like a free-spirited, wandering hermit, living outside the palace. It's like the legendary Cowherd and Weaver Girl, finding it so difficult to meet. If he doesn't actively seek you out anymore, won't the two of you become like the two stars, Shen and Shang, separated by the heavens?" "Will we never have a chance to see each other again? How can we get to know each other better if that's the case?" He Mingning nodded slightly, agreeing with He Mingyan's words, and then replied, "Don't worry, Yan'er, we've already arranged to meet again in three days." Hearing this news, He Mingyan perked up immediately, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and eagerly asked, "Oh? So soon! Who suggested the date first?" He Mingning smiled shyly, a faint blush rising on her cheeks, and softly replied, "I asked him out."
He Mingyan was utterly astonished, as if time itself had frozen. She stared blankly at He Mingning like a statue, her eyes unblinking. He Mingning, on the other hand, felt extremely uncomfortable under her sister's unwavering gaze. Finally, she couldn't help but break the silence: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my actions?" He Mingyan snapped out of her daze and hurriedly shook her head, answering urgently, "No, no, absolutely not! I'm just a little surprised. I never expected my usually reserved and demure sister to be so proactive in inviting a man out, like a spring flower in full bloom. It's truly unexpected!" Hearing her sister's words, He Mingning couldn't help but smile slightly, a smile as beautiful and captivating as a spring flower in full bloom. She explained softly, "What's so surprising about that? He saved my life before. As the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, so it's only natural that I want to treat him to a meal to express my thanks!" He Mingyan nodded thoughtfully, secretly thinking that her sister's words were indeed reasonable.
Just then, He Mingyan picked up an apple from the table and took a big bite, her cheeks bulging, looking just like a cute little squirrel enjoying a delicious meal. While chewing the sweet, juicy flesh, she asked indistinctly, "Where does Sister plan to take Lord Fan for a meal?" He Mingning's lips curled into a bright, spring-like smile, and she softly replied, "To the most famous place around here, Yanyu Tower! The environment there is serene and elegant, and the dishes are delicious and visually appealing. I'm sure Lord Fan will be very satisfied." He Mingyan swallowed the apple and blinked her big eyes, asking, "Oh? So Sister and Lord Fan dined together at Yanyu Tower yesterday?" He Mingning nodded slightly, her movements barely audible, like a chick pecking at rice, and replied, "Yes, what's wrong?" Her gaze fell on He Mingyan, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
At this moment, He Mingyan smiled and said softly, "It's nothing. I just heard that the famous Yanyu Tower is actually owned by the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and it's one of the three most outstanding restaurants in our capital. It's simply the most dazzling pearl on the crown!" After saying that, she couldn't help but cover the corner of her mouth, seemingly feeling a little proud of herself for knowing such news.
He Mingning nodded slightly in agreement, then echoed in a soft voice, "That's right, I also had the honor of hearing this news from Lord Fan yesterday." As soon as she finished speaking, He Mingyan couldn't wait to swallow the apple she was chewing, blinked her bright eyes, and asked curiously, "Big sister, have you always addressed Fan Junyu as Lord Fan like this?" He Mingning's expression did not change, and she simply nodded slightly again in response.
However, He Mingyan was clearly not satisfied with this simple answer and continued to press, "Then how does Lord Fan address you, sister? Does he also address you respectfully as Your Highness like everyone else?" Faced with her sister's barrage of questions, He Mingning was taken aback at first, then a look of doubt appeared on her face, but she quickly regained her composure and replied, "Yes! Is there anything inappropriate about that?"
He Mingyan's eyes widened in surprise. She exclaimed, "Oh my god, I knew it! How could there be no problem? No wonder you two are so distant. Always calling each other that, it's like you're completely estranged! There's no sense of closeness at all, how can you expect to be intimate? Don't even think about it!"
He Mingning watched as her younger sister, He Mingyan, remained agonizing over this supposedly intimate gesture, feeling both exasperated and somewhat amused. She shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Then how should we address her? What's the appropriate way to address her? You've really stumped me!"
He Mingyan became even more excited, waving her hands in the air and explaining rapidly, "Of course, you should just call each other by our names! Big sister, think about it carefully. If you two start calling each other by our names, doesn't it instantly make people feel so much closer to each other? You know, not just anyone can call you by your name! Once you call each other by our names, you'll naturally feel like you know each other very well. As time goes by, you'll definitely become more and more familiar and intimate! When that time comes, doing those intimate things will just be a natural and logical thing to do!"
Hearing her sister's words, He Mingning was slightly taken aback at first, then couldn't help but laugh out loud. While laughing, she reached out and gently tapped He Mingyan's forehead with her finger, teasingly saying, "Why are you so enthusiastic about making us do these intimate things? Have you been bewitched?"
Hearing her sister's words, He Mingyan wasn't angry at all. Instead, she winked playfully and smiled sweetly, a smile as beautiful and charming as a spring flower in full bloom. She said in a sweet voice, "Oh dear, sister, you don't know! That feeling is truly indescribable! I love it so much! That's why I wanted you to experience this wonderful feeling too!"
He Mingning had only casually responded to her sister, but for some reason, at that moment, as if driven by a mysterious force, she inexplicably asked, "Just how wonderful is it?"
These words delighted He Mingyan. As if injected with a powerful stimulant, she became excited, her eyes sparkling, eager to share everything she had experienced with her sister. So, she cleared her throat and, like a seasoned storyteller, began to tell her story at length.
With her hands on her hips and head swaying, He Mingyan looked every bit like an elder and said in a serious tone, "The way men and women hug is quite different from how we sisters hug!"
Seeing her sister's earnestness, He Mingning's curiosity grew even stronger. She widened her eyes, staring intently at He Mingyan, and eagerly pressed, "Oh? What's the difference? Tell me quickly!"
He Mingyan's fair and delicate cheeks were flushed with a captivating blush, like ripe apples. She lowered her head slightly, her lips parted, and she murmured softly in a voice as melodious as a nightingale's song: "The feeling of holding one's beloved tightly is indescribable; it's so exquisite, so intoxicating. It's as if the world suddenly stands still, and in this vast world, only the two of us remain. This feeling is like a precious ray of warm sunshine piercing through layers of dark clouds in winter, as gentle as a feather, slowly caressing our entire bodies, bringing endless warmth and comfort. It makes one's tense body involuntarily relax, as if all the complexities and troubles of the world vanish in an instant like smoke."
After a brief pause, He Mingyan's beautiful eyes sparkled with a dreamlike light as she continued softly, "As for that tender kiss, it has a unique flavor! This kiss is like a delicate, dewy flower petal gently touching a soft, slender stamen at dawn—so gentle it's almost imperceptible, yet it contains endless sweetness and a heart-fluttering excitement. The moment their lips finally touch, it's as if the entire noisy world falls into a serene stillness, a profound silence." Only their rapid, fervent breaths echoed clearly in each other's ears. In that brief instant, the other's image was deeply imprinted in the depths of their hearts, occupying every corner. All the lingering worries and anxieties that had once haunted them receded swiftly, vanishing completely, like the surging tide at high tide. Like the gentlest, most tender breeze of spring, it silently caressed their faces, bringing a subtle, sweet fragrance, and even their sensitive, fragile hearts trembled involuntarily with the breeze's caress.
Upon hearing these words, He Mingning blushed deeply, her face turning as red as a ripe apple. She said shyly and coquettishly, "Oh dear, you little rascal, where did you learn such words? How shameless!" He Mingyan, however, didn't take it to heart. Instead, she playfully stuck out her tongue and made a face, replying with a grin, "Sister, I'm speaking from the heart! This is based on my own experience! Just think, if you and Lord Fan could do as I say, your relationship would definitely get better and better, like oil on a blazing fire, or flowers in full bloom—becoming sweeter and more perfect!"
Just then, a series of rapid, rhythmic footsteps came from outside the door, sounding like the beat of a drum approaching from afar. The two sisters exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. Then, the curtain was lifted, and a graceful and elegant figure walked in—it was their mother, the current Empress.
As soon as the Empress entered, her gaze fell upon the two sisters' flushed faces, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She asked softly, "You two, what's wrong? Why are you both so red? Are you secretly telling me something funny behind my back?" He Mingyan was about to tell the Empress what had just happened when He Mingning quickly grabbed her and explained with a smile, "Your Majesty, nothing special. My sister was just sharing some interesting little stories with me, like precious, round pearls."
The Empress smiled slightly, her eyes filled with doting affection as she looked at her two daughters. She then gently instructed them, "Since that's the case, you two can continue playing, but remember not to get too carried away. Also, Mingning, as the older sister, you must take good care of your younger sister." With that, the Empress turned and left like a gentle breeze.
After the Empress left, He Mingning let out a long sigh of relief, then turned to He Mingyan with a serious expression and said, "Good sister, you must never mention this kind of thing again. If someone overhears and it gets spread, it's never a good thing. As children of the royal family, we must be careful with our words and actions, and never give others any leverage against us." Seeing her sister's seriousness, He Mingyan knew this was no small matter, so she nodded obediently, indicating she understood. He Mingyan nodded obediently and said softly, "I know, I'm not stupid, I told you right away!" She even winked playfully. Seeing her sister's understanding and cuteness, He Mingning smiled and nodded slightly in approval.
Just then, a clear, melodious voice, like a nightingale's song, rang out from outside the door: "Your Highness, the Grand Tutor's residence has sent a letter." The voice, like heavenly music, drifted into the ears of everyone inside. He Mingning's heart skipped a beat upon hearing it, and she wondered what it was about. She carefully took the letter, gently opened the envelope, and her heart raced when she saw the signature "Fan Junyu."
