Qin Zhaoyue and her entourage returned to Qinghui Palace under the cover of night.

Qin Zhaoyue's cheeks were flushed with the rosy hue of wine, like the rouge of finest rouge.

But apart from that... he walked steadily and his eyes were clear, showing no signs of drunkenness whatsoever.

This alcohol content, while not as easy to drink as water, is... just so-so, a drop in the ocean.

Princess Qin Zhaowan, hearing the commotion outside, put down her purple-tipped brush.

She gently rubbed her slightly sore wrists before getting up and walking gracefully outside.

As soon as I pushed open the carved palace door, I saw three small figures blocking the entrance like door gods.

Xiao Jiu was standing with her hands on her hips, puffing out her pink cheeks in a huff.

Like a bristling raccoon, she tilted her little head back, her big, watery eyes wide open, staring intently at Zhao Yue who had just entered the room.

Behind them were Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, whose actions and expressions were exactly the same. They both crossed their arms, had stern faces, and looked like they were about to interrogate someone.

Qin Zhaowan paused slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips as she watched the scene with interest.

Qin Zhaoyue lifted her eyelids and glanced at the three little kids in front of her.

She pointed her slender fingers at her fourth sister and fifth brother beside her, her tone languid.

"Xiao Jiu, are you blind? Can't you see these two grown-up people next to you?"

Why don't you ask them? Why are you just blocking me?

"They don't want to play with you guys, is that my fault?"

Qin Zhaoyue drawled out her words, her expression earnest and earnest.

"I advise you to look for the reasons within yourselves and think carefully about why they don't like you at all?"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Princess Qin Zhaoshu immediately took a graceful step to the side, instantly distancing herself from Qin Zhaoyue.

"Of course I'd love to play with you all, but the key is..."

She gave Zhao Yue a meaningful look, "Your sixth sister is not available."

The Fifth Prince, Qin Jingzhan, equally arrogant, took a heavy step to the side and echoed in a gruff voice:

"That's right! Your fifth brother loves playing with you, but your sixth sister doesn't like it!"

This is outrageous!

The three children's tempers flared up instantly, and they all shoved themselves in front of Qin Zhaoyue, their little faces tense.

"Sixth sister, you have to give us an explanation!" Little Jiu's voice was childish but her tone was fierce.

"Yes," Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba said in unison, their little fists clenched, "Give us an explanation!"

Qin Zhaoyue rolled her eyes and stretched out her arm without saying a word.

They pressed precisely on the tops of Xiaoqi and Xiaoba's heads, one on each side, and ruthlessly pulled them outwards.

He scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Go play somewhere else, go away!"

"Give you an explanation? I think the three of you look like you need an explanation."

Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba's eyes suddenly turned hostile, and Xiao Jiu's eyes instantly welled up with tears, which were about to burst forth.

Qin Zhaowan shook her head, stepped forward, and gently embraced the tearful Xiao Jiu.

While gently patting her back to comfort her, he said to Qin Zhaoyue in an annoyed tone:

"Alright, alright, all you do is bully kids. Look how capable you are."

Qin Zhaoyue curled her lip and glanced disdainfully at her third sister. "Heh, so you're pretending to be a good person, huh? It makes me seem like I'm the bad one."

"You went out to have fun all afternoon and only just got back now, and you still have the nerve to complain?"

"So what? You well-fed men don't know the hunger of starving men."

Qin Zhaowan:?

What is that? Who's hungry?

Xiao Jiu's tearful onslaught came to an abrupt halt. The three children blinked their bewildered and innocent eyes, completely unaware of what she meant.

"Heh," Qin Zhaoyue raised her proud head, "In just half a day, this princess almost caught a man!"

Xiao Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up with amazing curiosity, but unfortunately, her third sister quickly covered both ears the next second.

"How dare you use such foul language in front of the child!" Qin Zhaowan feigned anger.

Qin Zhaoyue was immediately displeased; her eyebrows furrowed and her voice rose several decibels.

"What? You're allowed to wreak havoc and party every night, but I, the princess, am not allowed to seduce men?"

Everyone: ...

It's like the world is turning upside down.

The fourth brother, Qin Zhaoshu, silently covered the seventh brother's ears.

The fifth brother, Qin Jingzhan, followed suit, covering the eighth brother's ears while muttering curses:

"Qin Zhaoyue, watch your manners! Don't you have any princess-like behavior left?"

"Hmph!" Qin Zhaoyue puffed out her chest and strode arrogantly, as if she didn't recognize anyone, and was about to walk past the crowd into the house.

Want to have sex with her? No way!

Under the various gazes of my brothers and sisters—some speechless, some disgusted, some curious—I marched forward with high spirits.

However, just as they reached the center of the hall, a sudden change occurred!

Qin Zhaoyue felt as if she had been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer.

Deep within his consciousness, the mysterious Book of Merits suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.

It vanished in an instant, disappearing without a trace, just like the receding tide.

The mysterious characters that once flowed across the cover of the merit book have now faded to almost nothing.

"Hmm..."

Qin Zhaoyue only managed to let out a short, muffled groan before everything went black, and her body instantly lost all strength.

Like a puppet with its strings cut, it fell straight down.

The Third Princess, Qin Zhaowan, who was closest to the princess, reacted with lightning speed.

Her skirts billowed, and she transformed into a blur, instantly appearing in front of Qin Zhaoyue.

He steadily caught her limp body with both arms, preventing her beautiful face from making intimate contact with the hard floor tiles.
