Chapter 991 - Most proud of

Chapter 991: Most proud of
“How about this widow think of a way to help her mix in?” Empress Dowager Zhou thought about it before speaking.
“No need. Many thanks mother, but your son has already thought of everything.”
Mo Chuan forcefully shook his head. He knew Empress Dowager Zhou’s worries, but he didn’t care at all. He didn’t want to hide it any longer, he wanted everyone to know that the empress he married was the best girl in the world that he was the most proud of!
He wanted to place the empress’ crown on her head in front of everyone!
“Alright. Since you’ve made your decision, this widow won’t say anything else. Can you tell this widow now how your empress came back to your side from East Qin?” Empress Dowager Zhou said.
The mother and son talked for a long time in Empress Dowager Zhou’s palace. When Mo Chuan came back to the Guan Yu Palace, the moon was already in the sky.
There were candles lit in the room. When he came in, Mo Chuan saw the faint candle light and knew that she must have waited for him, causing a warm feeling to fill his heart.
There was her figure that appeared on the window paper. He stood in the yard and watched her slim silhouette, causing a smile to appear on his face as he silently stood there.
After watching her for a while, he noticed that she seemed to be reading while holding her cheek without moving.
It was rare to see her this peaceful that he felt it was a bit strange. So he took soft steps as he walked to the door, softly opening it without making a bit of sound.
There were no maids or eunuchs inside the room. She didn’t like being served, so she sent all the people away. Mo Chuan silently walked in and saw that she was sitting at a table with a book in her hand. However, her mind was not placed on the book and she was looking at the dancing flame of the candle with one hand on her cheek.
“What are you thinking? You’re actually this deep in thought? Are you thinking of me?”
Mo Chuan suddenly spoke up with a smile.
Chen Ning was surprised, but recognizing his voice, she said with a smile, “What is there to think about with you, I’m just reading a book.”
“Reading a book?” Mo Chuan looked at the book and nodded with a smile as he said, “It’s hard to see you working hard. How is your inner strength cultivation going? Did you breakthrough?”
She had been smiling, but hearing the words “inner strength”, her smiled disappeared completely. She said with a bitter expression, “Mo Chuan, what kind of cultivation technique did you teach me? I want to sleep whenever I train in it. It isn’t that I don’t want to cultivate, it’s that I can’t.”
Mo Chuan followed what doctor Zhang said over the past two days, teaching her the introductory heart mantra for cultivating inner strength. This was the secret technique of their Chu Family, it was very subtle and profound, being passed down only through males and not females. Even the Eldest Princess couldn’t learn it.
This inner strength introductory mantra was not complicated, only being a short few hundred words. Mo Chuan had only taught it to her once and she memorized it without missing a word.
Mo Chuan had to praise her. With her intelligence, she would be able to have success in inner strength in less than a month.
But she had cultivated for an entire two days and hadn’t even touched the surface. Mo Chuan remembered that when she cultivated back day, she felt a faint aura flowing through her body on the first day. She is clearly smarter than him, how could her progress in inner strength be far below his?
“Are you following the method I taught you? Repeat the inner strength mantra to me again.”
Chen Ning immediately recited it.
Her words were very clear, speaking a few hundred words in a breath without missing a single word.
Mo Chuan heard that she didn’t miss a word and couldn’t help knitting his brows as he felt confused.
