Chapter 221.2
Yaoniang seemed to be in a good mood today. She prepared a table full of dishes, and the children were all present, gathering as a family.
Laughter filled the room during the meal, and after they finished, Emperor Jin’an asked about Xiaobao’s studies. Yaoniang spent some time playing with the children before sending them off.
The palace became quiet, and it was still early for rest. Emperor Jin’an leaned back on the large kang and held a book titled “Records of the Supreme Pure Teaching.”
Curious, Yaoniang glanced at him and asked, “Your Majesty, why are you reading Daoist texts?”
Emperor Jin’an was surprised; he didn’t expect Yaoniang to recognize such a book. Little did he know that although Yaoniang had been taught to read and write by the previous owner, her knowledge had grown significantly over the years. She might not understand the content, but she knew it was a miscellaneous book on Daoist teachings.
“Zhen has some free time, and is just reading casually,” he replied.
Yaoniang nodded and decided to go for a bath. As she was about to enter the bathing area, she glanced back at Emperor Jin’an with a somewhat unusual look in her eyes. However, Emperor Jin’an seemed lost in his thoughts and didn’t notice.
She spent quite some time inside and emerged wearing a different outfit. Her long black hair flowed down to her waist, and she was dressed in lilac silk nightwear.
The fabric of her nightwear was somewhat thin and, under the illumination of the light, it was slightly transparent, revealing her slender waist. The curve between her waist and hips was astonishing, but it was partially hidden by her flowing black hair, making it nearly impossible for one’s eyes not to linger.
