"Of course it counts." Sheng Xiyan argued softly.

She didn't even dare to kiss him in front of her ex-husband. How much did she care about him and how much did she love him?

The air was filled with the restrained emotions of two lovers who had been reunited after a long separation. Xuan Ling's mind was filled with the several hugs they had shared in recent days.

The hug was both natural and heartfelt.

The sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers wafted up in the air. Jiang Jiang and Le Wen opened their mouths to breathe in, "What a nice smell!"

Qi Yan glanced at Sheng Xiyan quickly and inadvertently, then looked back at Jiang Jiang.

Xuan Ling then realized that in addition to the tuberose, even the sweet osmanthus in autumn was a witness to their love.

This dog slave was training every day, so where did he get so much time to have a secret meeting with Sheng Xiyan?

He deceived me.

The woman next to her is now acting so cautiously. Who is she doing this for?

If he said now, "I will set Sheng Xiyan free."

I'm afraid these two people would cry with joy, kneel down to express gratitude, hug and cheer.

Sheng Xiyan picked up a piece of fish fillet in vinegar and carefully removed the bones.

Put the fish fillets with bones removed in the white jade bowl in front of Xuan Ling.

"Your Majesty, eat fish."

Strong arms suddenly wrapped around her delicate body and kissed her tender and tempting lips fiercely.

Sheng Xiyan opened her eyes wide in shock and met a pair of sinister and murderous black eyes.

Jiang Jiang and Le Wen had long been accustomed to the sweet and affectionate relationship between the two.

He covered his eyes, laughed and said:

"Father kissed Mother again."

"Wow, I'm a little shy. Jiang Jiang, will you kiss me again in the future?"

"Won't."

"Why?"

"I don't know if you'll be pretty when you grow up. I don't kiss ugly people."

"Don't worry, Jiang Jiang, I will be very beautiful when I grow up, just like Empress Chen."

Qi Yan used his jade to pierce all the cheese dumplings in a plate, and fresh milk cheese spilled out from the soft skin.

He regretted why he forgot to kiss Sheng Xiyan when he was alone with her after the soul-stealing poison was removed. Why did he restrain himself?

I regretted so much for missing such a good opportunity.

I also want to kiss A Yan, but I haven’t done that since I came back, only in my dreams!

Sheng Xiyan was being bitten passively, and her slender hands pinched Xuan Ling's side to signal him to stop.

He hugged her tighter and kissed her more passionately, as if no one was around, declaring his sovereignty as the queen.

Sheng Xiyan's mind was in a mess and she pushed him away violently.

Xuan Ling's lips were stained with her vermilion rouge, which made her exquisite face look even more charming.

The corners of his mouth are slightly raised, his eyes are flashing with arrogance, he seems to be in control of everything, handsome and intoxicating.

Sheng Xiyan lowered her head and gently wiped the rouge on her lips with her sleeve.

Damn it, do we have to kiss at this time?

She knew without even looking that Qi Yan must be terribly sad.

The tears that Qi Yan was trying to hold back made Xuan Ling happy, and he ordered, "Pour the wine."

Sheng Xiyan poured a glass.

He picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"My dear Lord Qi, do you know why I have conferred upon you the title of Marquis of Wu'an and granted you a mansion and fertile farmland?"

Qi Yan held up the wine glass with both hands, "This is the emperor's great love for me."

"It's true that it's love, but more importantly, it's because..."

He looked at Sheng Xiyan, "My beloved, what is the reason for you to say this?"

Sheng Xiyan cleared her throat and said, "The Emperor wants Marquis Wu'an to get married."

Xuan Ling held Sheng Xiyan's hand and said with a smile:

"The Concubine Chen is intelligent and immediately understood what I meant.

Yes, I give you these so that you can find a virtuous and noble lady to match you.

I and Concubine Chen are very happy. You should also get married as soon as possible so that we can feel at ease."

Qi Yan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I understand."

Do you dare to say that I will not obey? The king's orders cannot be disobeyed.

Qi Yan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will take Jiang Jiang and the princess out to play for a while. I will take my leave now."

"Okay."

Qi Yan didn't dare to look at Sheng Xiyan, and led his generals down from the Suzaku Tower.

After they left, Sheng Xiyan's heart was still not at peace, because the hostility around the emperor had not yet dissipated.

As soon as her hand touched his arm, the emperor raised his arm and shook her hand off.

"Don't touch me!"

This dragon has been particularly fond of saying this lately. Sheng Xiyan moved the cushion away, knelt on the ground, and looked obedient.

His face was gloomy and the jealousy in his eyes seemed ready to burst out at any time.

"Your Majesty...My legs hurt from kneeling."

She twisted her hips coquettishly and begged with a frown.

Xuan Ling turned around and scolded, "Why don't you dare kiss me in front of Qi Yan?"

"Kiss?"

"Are you kissing me, or am I kissing you?"

"Aren't they all the same?"

"How is it the same? You're afraid of making him sad, so you don't dare to do anything intimate with me. You still love him!"

"No, Your Majesty, you have wronged me."

Sheng Xiyan stepped forward and stretched out her arms to hug him, but was pulled away.

"I won't wrong you, listen carefully!

He stole the jade pendant to help him leave the palace, and even deceived me. This is one of them.

The second reason is that on the day the spy entered the palace, you abandoned me and went to watch the Qi Banquet first.

You remember the love songs with him and everything you did with him, that's the third thing.

As long as Qi Yan is here, your heart is with him. This is the fourth point."

Xuan Ling covered his chest with his hands. His heart was broken and he could never trust anyone again.

It is so vivid, as if carved by a knife, and every stroke cuts through the heartstrings.

Sheng Xiyan knew that he was really heartbroken, so she went forward and hugged him, crying.

"Your Majesty, my heart is with you, please don't be sad...嘤嘤嘤..."

He pushed her away, and she knelt down and hugged him.

"I feel guilty, Your Majesty, please don't feel bad..."

Xuan Ling smiled coldly.
