I woke up as the Villainous Empress

54 Secret Meeting (II)

After returning to her chamber, Yang Ning sent Xiaowei to bring her some snacks from the kitchen since she couldn’t get to eat anything after Chang Ah interrupted her peaceful evening.

While Xiaowei was gone, Yang Ning sat on her bed with her legs dangling in the air and opened the letter that Gu Lan had handed to her earlier.

“Woah!” She exclaimed in amazement.

As soon as she opened the letter that the Crown Prince had sent for her, she was left speechless upon seeing his beautiful and elegant handwriting.

“Is this a letter or a piece of art?” She wondered because the calligraphy on the paper was so beautiful and graceful that in her world, it can be passed as a piece of art, valuable enough to be displayed in an art museum.

” He is a male lead of the novel for a reason. He is not only handsome, but his handwriting also screams elegance and grace.” She muttered while admiring his beautiful and artistic calligraphy.

“Ah, I should focus on its contents and not the handwriting.” She shakes her head when she realizes that he has sent this letter in response to the letter that she had sent him in the morning.

She sent him the thank you letter in the morning but was not expecting him to respond to her letter so soon.

It’s not been a day and he has already sent her the answer to her letter. How diligent!

.....

[Tomorrow, 12 pm. Meet me at the Market near the lake. Wear a plain, cotton dress and cover your face with a mask.]

Yang Ning: “.....”

Yang Ning pursed her lips and wondered if Gu Lan had forgotten to hand over the other page of this letter.

How come he wrote only a sentence in response to her letter? She wrote a long-ass message to thank him and in response to her letter, he wrote only a few words?

How insincere!

Earlier, she was so excited to see his beautiful writing that she didn’t focus on the contents of the letter.

She assumed that there must be another page or something else written on the backside of the paper. Because there is no way someone would write a letter in such a rude manner.

But there was nothing. NOTHING.

This man needs to learn some social skills. How come he doesn’t even know how to write a letter?

There weren’t any formal greetings or anything and he directly jumped to write the main points of the letter. Yang Ning was speechless at the lack of sincerity from the Crown Prince.

” Hah! What’s the use of having beautiful handwriting when he doesn’t even know how to write someone a letter? Here I was excited for no reason.” She scoffed and put aside the letter in annoyance.

“Well, at least he responded to my letter. I will give him a pass this time.” Yang Ning sighed and plopped on the bed to take a nap.

Since she has nothing else to do in this world, she eats and sleeps the whole day.

Eat, sleep and repeat. That’s the life she is living these days.

There are times when she gets super bored, so she gossips with Xiaowei during that time because other than that, there is no source of entertainment for her.

If she is forced to live here, then she will live well and take this time as her awaited vacation and enjoy it as much as she can.

At least she can sleep to her heart’s content.

-The next day-

Xiaowei looked around carefully and pursed her lips to see a few people staring at them strangely and whispered to Yang Ning, “Milady, you are still not completely healed yet. Why did you insist on coming outside?”

Xiaowei asked worriedly to see Yang Ning, who was covered in sweat and was looking exhausted. The sun was shining above their head and the scorching heat had drenched them in sweat.

If she wanted to come out for a walk, she could have chosen a better time and place. Why did she choose a time when the sun is burning right above their heads?

Also, rather than going to a nice place in the capital, they are standing in the middle of the road for half an hour now. Even the people are looking at them strangely now.

Yang Ning heaved a sigh and wiped her sweat with the handkerchief that Xiaowei handed to her as she waited for Zheng Liang to come to the place he asked for her to wait for him.

Asking her to come to the Market near the lake, where did he disappear to? It’s been past 12, where did he go?

” I am waiting for someone. Ah! Why is he not here yet?” She grumbled impatiently while looking for Zheng Liang in the non-existent crowd.

Even though it’s a marketplace, however, since it’s the afternoon and the hottest time of the day, the crowd was almost none.

Xiaowei frowned and asked, ” Waiting for someone? Milady, are you here to meet someone? Who?”

However, before Yang Ning could answer her curious question, a deep-manly voice could be heard from behind. “You’re already waiting here.”

Yang Ning was startled and when she turned around, she saw a man standing behind her, wearing ordinary brown clothes.

That man was none other than the Crown Prince, Zheng Liang.

Her eyes widened in surprise as unlike his usual royal attire, he was wearing casual clothes that were similar to the cotton clothes that the common people wear while working under the scorching sunlight.

However, despite it being the attire of ordinary people, he managed to look dashing in these plain and sober clothes.

“Your High-” She was shocked and was about to greet him when the man put his finger on her lips and shushed her at once.

Yang Ning: “.....”
