Chapter 70

Song Xuan's breath hitched, his reason crumbling in an instant, the girl's sweet lips no longer able to control him.

He cast aside all notions of gentlemanly conduct and self-discipline, with only the person before him truly on his mind.

The next moment, Song Xuan took the initiative and responded to Shen Qingnian. At first, Shen Qingnian could keep up, but she quickly lost her composure.

The phrase "as inseparable as glue" is the perfect description for the two of them.

Song Xuan held Shen Qingnian in his arms for most of the night, until dawn broke, when he finally carried her to the embroidered bed...

The girl was already asleep, her lips a bright red, glistening with moisture. He gazed at her for a while with lingering reluctance before flying out of the Shen Mansion.

After Song Xuan returned to the East Palace, he immediately ordered Xia Xiazi to bring in a bath tub.

He sat in the bathtub, his eyes slightly closed. In the steamy mist, he recalled the girl's appearance in his arms...

A blush crept onto Song Xuan's gentle face, and the usually modest gentleman now seemed to have a hint of smugness.

Finally, she called out softly, "Qing Nian."

This is nothing more than what the young master is thinking.

For the next few days, Song Xuan would meet Shen Qingnian in his dreams. The memories of the temple were so intense that he couldn't stop thinking about her.

Xia Zi couldn't help but shake his head: "Your Highness has truly come to your senses. Fortunately, the wedding day is approaching soon, so Your Highness doesn't need to work so hard. The Imperial Observatory's decision to move the wedding date forward has really been a great help to Your Highness."

If they continue to endure this, their prince might run into trouble.

Time flies, and soon it was three days before the wedding.

Shen Qingnian's dowry was also prepared, and the palace sent people to deliver her wedding dress and headdress. Logically, the wedding dress should be embroidered by the bride, but Song Xuan did not let her embroider it.

One reason was the lack of time, and the other was my concern for her; I didn't want her to overwork herself.

When the wedding dress was delivered, she only embroidered a jasmine flower on the side, and that was considered embroidery done.

Inside the boudoir of the Shen family mansion.

The steward bowed and smiled, "Miss, the carriage is ready. Please follow me out of the manor."

Shen Qingnian was dressed casually, and she nodded slightly to the butler: "Thank you for your trouble, butler."

Xiaoju helped her out of the mansion. She was to be married in three days, and she wanted to see her aunt before the wedding and tell her about her plans.

After entering the Eastern Palace, it became difficult for her to secretly visit her concubine, as she needed to make sure everything was explained clearly.

The simple carriage stopped in front of the courtyard. As usual, the butler stood guard at the door, while Xiaoju followed Shen Qingnian into the courtyard.

Aunt Liu was clearing weeds in the yard when she saw Shen Qingnian push the door open and enter. Her eyes lit up, and she dropped the sickle in her hand and ran over: "Qingnian, Master has given you permission to come!"

Judging from Shen Qingnian's clothes and Xiao Ju beside her, Aunt Liu knew that Shen Zheng had given his permission this time.

Today, Aunt Liu was a bit plumper. Although her face was still somewhat pale, she was much healthier and could even cut grass. She looked to be in good spirits.

Seeing that Aunt Liu was in such good spirits, Shen Qingnian also looked happy and said:
