Chi Yan felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

This woman is so infuriating, I could vomit blood.

“Your Highness, there are only three Azure Sky Gold Tokens in the entire world. They originated more than a thousand years ago and were crafted by humans a thousand years ago using the remaining immortal power of the Azure Phoenix and the purest gold. They cannot be easily imitated,” Wen Yanche said.

Leng Qingning retorted, "Since it's such a precious item, why did you give it away so easily? And you even gave it to the wrong person."

"What's the use of saying all that now? You find a way to get it back for me." Chi Yan was furious and gulped down a mouthful of tea.

No, what do you mean by telling me to go and get it back?

“Young Master Chi, this is where you're wrong. You were the one who wanted to give the plaque away, weren't you? I didn't force you. Giving it to the wrong person is also your problem, isn't it? Such a valuable thing, you just give it away like that, couldn't you have checked beforehand or given it to them in person?” Leng Qingning also lost her temper.

Just then, Mo Shuang came to report again.

"Your Highness, Young Master Gu has arrived."

Everyone was speechless.

Is today some kind of auspicious day? One helpful person after another is coming our way.

"Please come quickly."

Gu Nanshu walked into the hall, her pupils dilating slightly. Why were there a few more young men here...?

Leng Qingning invited him to take a seat.

"Nan Shu, what brings you here?" A smile appeared on his face.

Gu Nanshu suppressed his unease.

"Your Highness, after practicing the sheet music you gave me last time, I suddenly had an inspiration and composed several pieces for the zither. I have come today to appreciate them with you." Actually, he wanted to see Leng Qingning.

"Oh? Nan Shu is indeed a genius."

Hearing Leng Qingning praise Gu Nanshu in front of so many people, Chi Yan couldn't keep his composure.

"You fickle woman, you're already in a hurry to have romantic affairs with others before I've even resolved my own affairs."

Gu Nanshu looked at Chi Yan: "And who is this?"

Leng Qingning looked troubled. "It's not important."

Turning to Chi Yan, she asked, "Young Master Chi, what do you wish to do?"

unimportant?

Chi Yan scoffed coldly: "My affairs are unimportant, but his affairs are very important?" He pointed at Gu Nanshu as he spoke.

Leng Qingning's face turned completely dark.

"Young Master Chi Yan, don't you think you're being presumptuous? Forgive my bluntness, but everyone here, except you, is my husband. Tell me, are they important or not?"

Chi Yan choked, "I don't care. You take back my gold medal first, then we'll talk about your dirty deeds." He then arrogantly raised his chin.

Leng Qingning had cursed him eight hundred times in her heart.

It was clearly his own fault. She didn't ask him to deliver it; he insisted on doing it, and then he delivered it to the wrong person and came to her for it? Is he trying to scam her? Is this guy alright?

At this moment, Cang Yuan spoke up, "My lady, I'll go and steal it back for him." With his martial arts skills, stealing a token would be a piece of cake.

After a moment's thought, Leng Qingning decided it was best to deal with this person quickly, as he was incredibly persistent and difficult to deal with. She knew about Cang Yuan's abilities.

There weren't many experts in Leng Qinghan's mansion, and none of them were a match for Cang Yuan.

Hmm? Wait, wife?

When had Cang Yuan ever addressed her like that? Leng Qingning felt he was acting a little strange today.

Chi Yan grew impatient and urged, "Then go steal it now, I'll wait here."

Just as Cang Yuan was about to speak, Leng Qingning rushed forward and grabbed Chi Yan by the collar.

"How could he steal in broad daylight? Does he want everyone to know that His Highness is a thief?" he gritted his teeth.

The two were very close, and Chi Yan could even smell the fragrance on Leng Qingning's body.

A vague, ambiguous feeling stirred within him. A lazy, arrogant smile returned to his lips.

"Oh, I understand." The voice was low and soft.

... ? ? ?

Leng Qingning couldn't understand it. Was this person even normal? It was almost like a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

Loosen his collar and push him backward with a little force.

He said coldly, "I don't hit men, don't force me to slap you."

"Pfft..." Gu Nanshu couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Chi Yan didn't mind at all.

Leng Qingning returned to the main seat and glanced around. This group of handsome men was truly…

Ahem, what are you thinking about? I snapped out of my reverie: "Young Master Chi, leave your address and go back first. I'll send someone to deliver it to your door once I get the gold medal."

"I'm not leaving."

"What did you say?" Leng Qingning didn't understand what else this person wanted.

"Since I said I wasn't leaving, I'll stay at your Langya Mansion for now and retrieve the gold token first," Chi Yan said casually, sipping his tea.

Leng Qingning felt that this person was definitely her nemesis, and she couldn't get rid of him no matter what.

I want to force myself on him, but I don't know his background. What if he's an assassin from some mysterious organization? If I offend him too easily, there could be endless trouble in the future.

Leng Qingning had already imagined the scenario of wave after wave of assassins taking turns to kill her and her husband.

trouble!

Fine, let him stay for one day if he wants.

"Mo Shuang, take Young Master Chi to the guest room."

"I will not stay in the guest room; I will stay in the main courtyard."

"Don't push your luck. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to hit you?" His temper flared up again.

Seeing Leng Qingning get angry, Chi Yan softened his tone: "Alright then, can't I stay in a concubine's courtyard?"

Leng Qingning took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

"Mo Shuang, hurry up and make the arrangements." Take him away from me immediately.

Chi Yan followed Mo Shuang with satisfaction, and even winked at Gu Nanshu as they passed by.

Gu Nanshu smiled helplessly. This Young Master Chi was really formidable; he had managed to make His Highness angry several times in a short period of time.

Wen Yanche picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

Chi Yan... is no ordinary person.

It seems he needs to appease His Highness as soon as possible.

The hall fell silent; none of the handsome men spoke, all quietly sipping their tea in tacit agreement.

Only Leng Qingning was discussing zither music with Gu Nanshu.

Listening to the Wind Pavilion

After making the arrangements, Mo Shuang bowed and took her leave.

Chi Yan stretched and looked around. The interior was adorned with gold bricks and jade carvings, exquisite and elegant furnishings, tables and chairs made of top-grade rosewood, and even the tea set was made of fine polychrome porcelain. It was incredibly luxurious.

I never expected the young king's mansion to be so wealthy; even the furnishings in the concubine's courtyard are so lavish.

There are rumors that the young ruler is the treasure of the Great Yue Kingdom, and the Empress dotes on him. It seems the rumors are true.

Chi Yan of Tingfeng Pavilion was fairly satisfied.

A dark figure leaped down from the wall, making the call of a partridge.

Chi Yan slowly walked into the bamboo forest, and the man in black knelt on the ground and bowed in respect.

"My lord, I have discovered five things this time."

"Firstly, the master of Kongmen Mountain has left Yue Kingdom and his whereabouts are unknown."

“Master Kongchen? Ignore her.”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The second piece of news is that the Jin Kingdom's First and Second Princesses' garrison troops have been making frequent unusual movements recently, and a coup may be brewing soon."

"Two useless people, ignore them."

"Thirdly, the Empress of Li intends to offer the Holy Son of Li to Dayue as tribute, and the envoy will depart in a month. The Empress of Yue will likely bestow him upon the young ruler of Yue."
