Chapter 89: Cruel Prince 38

The next second, Tang Wan raised her eyes and smiled sweetly at Feng Qitong.

“It seems my husband is very dissatisfied with my physical condition.”

Her smiling expression looked practically murderous.

The surrounding maids were instantly horrified.

Heavens!

Was the world going mad?

The Crown Princess actually dared speak to the Crown Prince in such a sarcastic tone?!

Was she not afraid he would lose his temper and strangle her on the spot?

For a moment, all the maids hurriedly lowered their heads in fear.

...

Meanwhile, Feng Qitong was practically itching to pounce on Tang Wan again after seeing the expression in her eyes.

However, when he saw the displeased look on her face, he immediately explained seriously:

“Ai Consort misunderstands.”

“This prince merely feared you might become bored alone in the Crown Prince’s residence, so I found people to accompany you.”

“If you’re interested, you can learn from them.”

“If not, this prince will immediately send them away.”

Hearing this, Tang Wan snorted softly.

“No need. Let them stay.”

After all, Feng Qitong had definitely found the best instructors available in this era.

Even if she only learned a little from them, it would still benefit her greatly.

Besides, Little Cutie had said before that only the abilities she personally mastered would truly belong to her.

Who knew?

Maybe these skills would become useful in future worlds.

After all, success always favored those who prepared in advance.

...

Seeing Tang Wan agree, Feng Qitong immediately smiled in satisfaction.

However—

he completely misunderstood her intentions.

In his mind, Tang Wan’s outward irritation actually meant she had realized her physical weakness and now wanted to strengthen her body specifically to better satisfy him in the future.

What husband wouldn’t adore a wife like this?

“This prince knew Ai Consort would agree,” Feng Qitong said happily.

The maids nearby were once again utterly shocked.

Had they heard incorrectly?

Was this really the same terrifying Crown Prince rumored to slash people apart whenever slightly displeased?

At that moment, Feng Qitong suddenly swept a cold glance across the room.

Instantly, the maids stiffened as icy fear crawled up their backs.

Yes—

this was definitely still the Crown Prince.

But the fact the Crown Princess could openly lose her temper in front of him and still remain perfectly fine...

was truly incredible.

...

Because Tang Wan had openly argued with Feng Qitong earlier, the maids afterward became even more respectful toward her.

Although Tang Wan initially felt slightly uncomfortable about it, she understood very clearly that as Crown Princess, she needed to maintain authority.

Otherwise, if servants gradually realized she had a soft temperament, they would eventually begin looking down on her.

She had seen far too many cases of servants bullying weak masters.

...

Fortunately, with these maids constantly teaching her martial arts, dance, and physical training, Tang Wan’s daily life inside the Crown Prince’s residence became much richer.

Combined with the endless stream of nourishing tonics Feng Qitong forced her to drink every day, several months later her complexion visibly improved.

Her body also became much stronger.

At the very least—

she no longer cried from exhaustion after every night spent in bed with Feng Qitong.

However, just at this moment—

major news suddenly arrived.

Near the end of the year, Zhao State suddenly launched an attack at the border.

After receiving the report, Feng Qitong hurriedly explained matters to Tang Wan before rushing into the palace overnight.

After he left, Tang Wan slowly sat upright.

“Little Cutie,” she asked internally, “if nothing happens to the Seventh Prince this time, then Feng Qitong shouldn’t need to personally go to the battlefield, right?”

If that happened—

naturally, Feng Qitong would never massacre Zhao State’s two hundred thousand soldiers.

Hearing this, the little cutie immediately nodded.

“Yes.”

“But only if the Seventh Prince can successfully repel Zhao State.”

“If he can’t hold the line, Feng Qitong will definitely still go personally.”
