Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Bronya's eyes darted around, and she couldn't bring herself to meet Nangong Yu's gaze.

"alright."

Nangong Yu nodded and shut her mouth.

Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Seele and Bronya both breathed a sigh of relief.

If this guy found out what Cocolia's mother said, the two of them would be too ashamed to show their faces.

How could Cocolia's mother say something so bold as "the two of them together"?

Unfortunately, Seele forgot one thing.

When she was being tossed and turned in bed until she was in a daze, she would have no secrets in Nangong Yu's eyes.

......

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Nangong Yu, after much advice from Xi'er, got into the black luxury car that came to pick him up.

The driver was a young girl with long purple hair wearing a suit. For some reason, she looked nervous and easy to bully after seeing Nangong Yu.

Looking at the bustling traffic flashing past the window, Nangong Yu asked a question.

"What do you call it?"

“Reisen! Mr. Nangong, you can just call me Reisen.”

Tsk, it matches up again.

Noticing that Nangong Yu was frowning, Lingxian immediately said somewhat nervously, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Nangong, did I do something to upset you?"

No, why do you say that?

"It's fine if it doesn't, it's fine if it doesn't."

They remained silent until they reached the agreed location. Reisen stopped the car, hesitated for a few seconds, and then turned her head with some fear, meeting Nangong Yu's eyes for the first time.

Compared to looking directly at this future prince consort, she dared not disobey her master's orders.

“Mr. Nangong, although it may be presumptuous of me to say these words, please be gentle with the princess from now on.”

Suppressing her fear and shame, Reisen forced herself to say, "This is Princess Kaguya's first time. I hope you will be kind to her."

Chapter 44 Husband, am I beautiful?

Ughhhh, what am I even saying?!

My master only told me to give the prince consort a hint, so how did I end up blurting out my true feelings?!

Reisen just wants to dig a hole and bury herself right now. No, if her master knew what she had said, she probably wouldn't even have to lift a finger.

Nangong Yu was also completely shocked.

No, is this a big deal on our first meeting?

"Um, that's not what I meant, I meant..."

Clearly wanting to salvage the situation, Reisen said nervously, stammering. Unfortunately, after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't utter a complete sentence. In the end, she could only lower her head, get out of the car, and then come to her side to help Nangong Yu open the car door.

Seeing her withdrawn appearance, Nangong Yu couldn't bear to say anything more, and simply asked, "By the way, do you know Yagokoro Eirin?"

Upon hearing that familiar name, Reisen, who had been withdrawn, suddenly raised her head and replied in surprise, "Do you know Master?"

If the prince consort and the master are really acquainted, then wouldn't the princess be safe from being bullied?

"No, I've only heard about it."

With a wave of his hand, Nangong Yu walked into the courtyard without saying anything more.

Although the courtyard is located in the suburbs of the city, the area is full of such luxurious courtyards, so the security is quite strong.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a beautifully constructed courtyard. Stone slab paths meander through the ground, leading to a traditional Japanese-style building connected by a corridor. It features a hipped roof, deep eaves, and a distinctive raised floor.

Just as he was looking at the scenery inside, Reisen quickly stepped forward and came to stand in front of him.

"I will take you to the master bedroom, where the princess is waiting for you."

"The master bedroom?"

Go straight into the bedroom?

"Yes, yes, is there a problem?"

"......without."

Reisen breathed a sigh of relief and began to lead the way with Nangong Yu.

Sir, this way!

Following behind, Nangong Yu silently provided voice acting for Reisen.

To make it closer, Reisen didn't lead the way to the main hall, but instead went directly across the stone path and up the stairs to the corridor.

Does this courtyard have a name?

While strolling leisurely, Nangong Yu, feeling bored, asked a question.

"Hmm... Yes, although the princess hasn't moved here for more than a few days, she seems to have already named this place. I remember it was called Eien-tei."

"..."

One coincidence after another made him realize that this was indeed the Kaguya he remembered.

However, judging from the situation along the way, it is highly likely that there is no supernatural power involved, and Kaguya does not have that bug-like power of eternity and fleeting moments.

Soon, Reisen stopped in her tracks.

"The princess is inside. I won't disturb you any longer."

Reisen bowed slightly to Nangong Yu, took a few steps back, and then turned and left.

Before them stood a rather large Japanese-style room, and Nangong Yu was standing in front of its intricately carved wooden door.

He stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A clear and pleasant voice rang out in the room. Nangong Yu placed her hand on the doorknob and gently pushed the door open.

......

"I am not very talented, and I hope my husband will give me more guidance in the future."

The Japanese-style room was simply and elegantly furnished, with nothing superfluous except for a table, a desk, and a few cabinets. On the comfortable tatami mats, a black-haired girl in a kimono was kneeling respectfully before Nangong Yu, bowing to him.

"You should sit up."

He didn't arbitrarily judge whether this behavior was good or bad; he was simply a little unaccustomed to this kind of etiquette.

He bent down to help Kaguya up, and Kaguya, hearing the sound, slowly stood up, supporting herself with her hands.

At this moment, Nangong Yu finally saw Kaguya's appearance.

How should I put it? Although I had already seen the photos, seeing her in person still filled Nangong Yu with amazement.

Her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her delicate face was exquisite and pretty, with a unique Eastern charm. She was as gentle as jade yet as beautiful as a flower, and her blinking eyes were as lively as water, making people involuntarily intoxicated.

Just looking at it, everything around seemed to quiet down.

Noticing that Nangong Yu was somewhat stunned because of her, Kaguya smiled slightly.

She sat up straight and moved closer to Nangong Yu, tilting her head slightly and gently pushing aside the side hair on her forehead with her fingertips. A faint blush rose on her fair cheeks. She looked directly into Nangong Yu's eyes and said softly in a voice as clear as a lark, "Husband, am I beautiful?"

Nangong Yu did not answer, but her silence spoke volumes.

Kaguya's smile became more pronounced again, and then she raised her head, highlighting her swan-like neck, and slowly closed her eyes.

Seeing this attitude of taking whatever one asks for, Nangong Yu's Adam's apple bobbed.

......

"It's truly a strange feeling."

She gently touched her moist lips with her finger, and her eyes sparkled with affection.

To be honest, the current situation is much better than Kaguya had expected, and she doesn't dislike this gentle possessiveness.

After all, she had already placed him in the position of husband. Her upbringing made her not think there was anything wrong with doing such a thing. In fact, if Nangong Yu were to be a little too eager and take her entirely for himself, it would be reasonable in her eyes.

Kaguya has always had the utmost confidence in her appearance.

Nangong Yu wasn't used to kneeling, so he sat cross-legged opposite her. To be honest, he was a little embarrassed. He hadn't even spoken to her yet, and he had already taken her first kiss, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Then, Kaguya picked up the teapot and served Nangong Yu a cup of freshly brewed tea.

"Please use."

"Thank you."

Just as Nangong Yu thanked her and took the teacup, he heard Kaguya say, seemingly unintentionally, "My husband seems quite familiar with what happened just now."

Although she was very skilled, Kaguya could clearly sense that her husband, like herself, had never experienced that kind of thing before. Moreover, after witnessing so much intrigue and backstabbing within large families, her husband's personality seemed as pure as a blank sheet of paper to her.

This is truly the best SSR card I've ever drawn! My slight fear of arranged marriage has dissipated at this moment.

Nangong Yu's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and she almost dropped it.

Nonsense, you practice on Seele every day, how could you not be proficient?

But there was no way to respond to that, so Nangong Yu pretended not to hear and silently drank her tea.

Kaguya didn't mind and started to steer the conversation.

They chatted briefly about their respective situations, and only after she sensed that her husband had relaxed a bit did they delve deeper into the topic: "Husband, is there anything you'd like to do in the future?"

"What I want to do? It should be making games."

Without much hesitation, Nangong Yu said it directly.

"game?!!"

Kaguya's eyes lit up. What a coincidence! She liked it too.

"Well, that's what we say, but we're already doing it. We even participated in St. Freya's Games Festival."

Since she was his fiancée, Nangong Yu didn't hide anything from her.
