"Then you have to promise me that you can't be with Xuan Yanyu."

Yan Yuning pursed her lips and said perfunctorily, "Okay."

"Don't lie to me." Ah Ci lowered his head and stared at her seriously.

Yan Yuning swallowed and said "hmm" vaguely.

After tricking A Ci away, Yan Yu Ning turned around and went to Xuan Yanyu's room.

In the room, Xuan Yanyu leaned comfortably on a wooden chair, Ye Jian was massaging his shoulders from behind, and Ye Chen was grinding ink beside him.

"Xuan Xixi." Yan Yuning dragged a wooden chair and sat opposite Xuan Yanyu.

Xuan Yanyu took the brush handed to him by Ye Chen, raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "Where have you been all day?"

Yan Yuning lay on the desk, watching the man's bony fingers turning the pen and writing on the rice paper.

After finishing writing a stroke and hearing no response, Xuan Yanyu raised his eyes, picked up the brush with a wicked smile, and moved close to her fair cheek.

"Xuan Yanyu, how dare you!" Yan Yuning covered her face and stepped back silently.

The man smiled and took his hand back, "Well, I don't dare."

Ye Jian and Ye Chen looked at each other, their eyes full of shock.

Ye Jian: "Does His Majesty King Xuan know that his beloved son has become Miss Yan's servant?"

Ye Chen blinked frantically, "How would His Majesty know if you don't tell me?"

Ye Jian: “…”

"Xuan Xixi, Qi Qingchen's concubine is pregnant, and Emperor Qi ordered him to hold a banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow to celebrate." Yan Yuning held her chin and joked, "Xuan Xixi, if you have a child, will your emperor also hold a banquet for you? Will it be more grand than Qi Qingchen's?"

After all, King Xuan dotes on Xuan Xixi very much, so he must dote on his child even more.

"What kind of party do you want?" There was a lazy smile in Xuan Yanyu's voice.

"What kind of party do I want? I don't want any children."

Xuan Yanyu frowned. He didn't want to marry another woman, and he didn't want children either. Isn't this making things difficult for him?

To whom will his throne be passed in the future?

She clearly bought the tiger-head shoes that day and she did what the old woman said.

"Well, I mean, I don't want a child for the time being." Yan Yu Ning explained.

She looked at him in deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking about, and added something without knowing why.

The man's frown relaxed, "When are you willing to have a child?"

Ye Chen and Ye Jian looked at each other and left the room tacitly. Their Highness simply couldn't bear to watch, asking a woman when she would be willing to have a child?

Only then?

With his status, every noble lady in Xuanzhao Kingdom would be eager to get him.

Yan Yuning thought for a second and said, "Maybe in five or six days."

"It's too late."

Yan Yuning raised her eyes and met the man's eyes. He looked at her meaningfully.

"Ten months later." Xuan Yanyu stared into her eyes and curled his lips, "Yan Yuning, ten months later."

Ten months later, the two-month deadline given to him by the emperor was up, and he would take her back to Xuanzhao at that time.

Yan Yuning lowered her head, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Wouldn’t ten months be the time when he would marry Ajie in the book, and the finale be here?

"Mine." The man leaned lazily on the wooden chair, his voice tinged with laughter.

"What's yours?" Yan Yuning raised her eyebrows.

Xuan Yanyu held her small hand with his big hand and pulled her to him, "The teacup is mine."

She is his too.

Yan Yuning's eyes moved around awkwardly, and she caught a glimpse of the letter on the table. The rice paper blocked some of it, so she only saw the last sentence, "Yuer, when there is danger, remember to protect Shiyao while ensuring your own safety."

Xuan Yanyu replied, "Your Majesty, your son Mingyi."

"Why did your emperor ask you to protect my sister?" Yan Yu Ning asked puzzledly.

"Because Yan Shiyao is the Crown Princess that the Emperor found for me." Xuan Yanyu said with a smile.

The ones he picked were of the same character as Ye Chen, or even worse than Ye Chen.
