Gan Qiongying didn't know when she fell asleep, but she had a beautiful dream that night. In her dream, she ran away with Gan Lin and went to live in seclusion in a deserted place, far away from the old witch in the palace and the little devil king, the regent.

Then one morning when the sun was up, Gan Qiongying saw Li Hua walking towards her in the mountains.

Li Hua said to him, "I've come."

"Your father-in-law has arrived? Please come to the main hall first."

Gan Qiongying opened her eyes to Li Hua's voice and saw the sunlight streaming in through the window, as warm and beautiful as in her dream.

As if in a dream, Li Hua was right in front of Gan Qiongying. When he saw Gan Qiongying open her eyes, he lowered his head and kissed her eyelids.

Gan Qiongying couldn't help but laugh. She looked up at Li Hua, her smile as sweet as honey, so sweet that Li Hua couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Get up. His Majesty sent Eunuch Li to escort the princess to the palace," Li Hua said. "He has already had Eunuch Li taken to the main reception hall."

Upon hearing this, Gan Qiongying immediately sobered up. "Is it that Eunuch Li who serves His Majesty?"

With the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in such a chaotic state, why would Gan Lin send his personal attendant to pick her up?

Li Hua nodded, but instead of summoning a maid, he personally helped Gan Qiongying up and took a handkerchief to wipe her clean.

"A maid can do it..." Gan Qiongying tilted her head back to enjoy the moment, but said, "How can I trouble the Prince Consort with such a thing?"

Li Hua smiled again, then suddenly leaned closer to Gan Qiongying and whispered, "Serving my wife is my duty as a husband."

Li Hua thought a lot that night, his mind racing. He wanted to make some promises to Gan Qiongying, but he couldn't bring himself to say them.

He wasn't ashamed to speak up, but he felt that those vows of eternal love and devotion were too grandiose. What was said didn't matter; as long as he did it, Gan Qiongying would naturally see it.

Moreover, they were originally husband and wife, a couple that no one could separate.

When Gan Qiongying heard Li Hua address her as "Madam" and refer to himself as "Husband," her eyes widened, and her face visibly began to flush red.

Kissing is one thing, and sweet romance is another... Calling each other husband and wife in such a similar way made Gan Qiongying feel very embarrassed.

Isn't this progressing a little too fast?

Neither of them has confessed their feelings yet.

Gan Qiongying did indeed like Li Hua; who doesn't love a god of wealth? Especially since she had seen Li Hua's true appearance, which was comparable to that of a celestial being.

However, the sudden change in their relationship yesterday still left her somewhat bewildered. Mainly, she wasn't mentally prepared, and the relationship between her and Li Hua wasn't as simple as it seemed. She hadn't fully figured it out yet.

But upon closer reflection, she realized that the two were indeed husband and wife, so there was nothing wrong with the way they addressed each other.

Gan Qiongying blushed as Li Hua served her all morning, and her mind was still a complete mess when she ate breakfast.

Li Hua wasn't much better off. After saying those shameful words, neither of them spoke again, and they were unusually quiet even while eating.

The two ate a simple breakfast, and Gan Qiongying personally tied the straps on Li Hua's legs. Watching Li Hua walk freely, she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

She just didn't expect that Li Hua would actually put a headdress on her. The headdress was too heavy, and Gan Qiongying didn't want to put it on as soon as she got up. She wanted to put it on before she set off.

Unexpectedly, Li Hua offered to help her. She was also curious whether this grown man would do such a thing.

Li Hua certainly knows how. He not only knows how to wear them, but he also knows how to make them. He has traveled all over the country and done all kinds of business. To make something good, unique and irreplaceable, the key is to understand all the processes and even to constantly innovate in order to attract people's attention.

Only by personally experiencing the production process can you minimize costs.

Li Hua personally styled Gan Qiongying's hair into a beautiful bun and put all the jewelry on her head one by one, even more skillfully than Manyue and the others.

“It’s beautiful,” Li Hua said, gently tidying Gan Qiongying’s hair. “This gorgeous style suits you very well.”

Gan Qiongying was naturally beautiful, and her head was piled high with rubies and jewels, which perfectly complemented her elegant and graceful features, making her incredibly charming.

By the time Gan Qiongying had finished dressing, it started raining again outside.

“Princess,” the two of them had been lingering in the room with the door closed for too long. Manyue still remembered the important matter. No matter how perceptive she was, she should remind her mistress at this time.

She said, "Princess, Eunuch Li has been here all morning, waiting anxiously in the side hall. He's now waiting at the main gate."

Gan Qiongying was then helped up from the table by Li Hua and walked towards the door, while instructing Manyue, "Have Chen Wa prepare the carriage!"

“Everything has been prepared long ago, just waiting for the princess!” Manyue took Gan Qiongying’s arm from Lihua’s hands.

Gan Qiongying's new headdress was extremely luxurious, with a dazzling ruby ​​in the very center. Even the ladies of the palace might not be able to obtain such a large and clear ruby.

Full Moon chose a light red dress for her, which complemented her headdress perfectly with the contrasting shades of red. Since it was a cool day, she also wore a thin blue cloak to balance the luxuriousness of the bright colors.

Li Hua's outfit was also quite elaborate. Although the robe was a low-key black and red, the jade belt around his waist was intricately crafted and exquisitely carved. Each piece of jade was of the highest quality, echoing the white jade crown on his head. He truly embodied the image of a gentleman as refined as jade, with outstanding character and demeanor.

Li Hua wore the jade ring that Gan Qiongying had given him as usual today.

Li Hua, holding an umbrella, first helped Gan Qiongying into the carriage. Gan Qiongying, standing beside the carriage, first pulled on Eunuch Li and said, "You've worked hard, Eunuch," before getting into the carriage herself.

Li Hua waited until Gan Qiongying got into the carriage, then walked to the side, took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve, and stuffed them into Eunuch Li's hand.

Eunuch Li quickly took it, tucked it into his sleeve, and smiled at Li Hua, "I understand what you mean, Your Highness. Please rest assured."

“The princess is straightforward,” Li Hua said, holding the umbrella and tilting it slightly toward Eunuch Li. “I’m always worried that the princess might say something wrong, and I hope you can remind her in time. The princess has no bad intentions; she’s just a bit too outspoken.”

Li Hua was worried about Gan Qiongying. Although he had also entered the palace today, male and female guests did not sit together.

At the previous birthday banquet of the Grand Princess of Hui'an, Li Hua and Gan Qiongying were already quite far apart, and at the palace banquet, they would be even further apart.

Seeing Eunuch Li nod repeatedly, Li Hua finally felt at ease enough to enter the carriage. This time, he gave her twice as many silver notes as last time, just to put her mind at ease.

The journey was a bit long, but the two of them weren't bored at all. They leaned against each other and talked intimately, filling the carriage with a sweet atmosphere.

Gan Qiongying held Li Hua's hand and squeezed it from time to time, but her conversation with Li Hua gradually became nonsensical.

No matter what Li Hua said, she would just reply with "Oh, ah, uh..." very perfunctorily.

The main reason is that Gan Qiongying's heart has already flown to the palace. She has been planning for so long, and she can finally tell Gan Lin about her plan!

She was really excited!

On such an important day as the palace banquet, Gan Lin sent his personal eunuch to fetch her. How could Gan Qiongying not understand Gan Lin's good intentions? He was afraid that Gan Qiongying would be taken away to another place by the old witch Kou Ning'an.

He only had a few people at his disposal, and all eighteen shadow guards were given to him. After gaining Duanrong's memories, Gan Qiongying knew that those eighteen people were the only protection Emperor Huicheng left for Gan Lin.

The old eunuch was the most caring person to Gan Lin. He was sent out to fetch her because he was inconvenient in the palace. Gan Qiongying was eager to see Gan Lin.

With her mind completely occupied by that "child" who was devoted to her, she couldn't hear what Li Hua was saying.

Gan Qiongying wants to tell Gan Lin that his sister is no longer angry with him, and that they can have other choices!
