Not long after Yan Xuanye sat down, Gao Qinglie and the queen slowly walked over, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

When they saw the emperor and empress appear, everyone present stood up, saluted the emperor and expressed their congratulations.

Gao Qinglie was wearing a gorgeous purple and gold dragon robe and sitting steadily on the throne.

He glanced around at the crowd in the palace and said cheerfully, "Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion. My dear ministers, please don't be too restrained. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded in unison, expressing their gratitude. The voices were loud and clear, echoing throughout the palace.

Gao Qinglie turned his gaze to Yan Xuanye and asked, "Prince Yan, are you satisfied with today's arrangements?"

Yan Xuanye: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your arrangements. I think everything is fine, but I feel a little lonely being alone out here."

There was a deep meaning in his words, and Gao Qinglie naturally understood his hint.

He shifted his gaze to Su Qingci who was standing beside Lu Huan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

With such a beauty, no wonder Yan Xuanye has always been thinking about her.

Coupled with Lu Huan's jealous and protective expression, Gao Qinglie suddenly felt that this scene was quite interesting.

Quite interesting.

He raised the wine bottle and raised his right hand towards Yan Xuanye.

Yan Xuanye also picked up the wine bottle beside him and toasted Gao Qinglie.

…

As the wind instruments sounded, the dancers rushed in like fluttering butterflies and danced lightly.

Su Qingci glanced through the crowd at Yan Xuanye, who was drinking with others across from him, then turned to Lu Huan and said, "I want to go change clothes."

Palace banquets did not allow attendants, so Zitan did not follow them.

"I'll go with you." Lu called.

Su Qingci smiled and said, "No need. If you go with me, what will happen? It will be so embarrassing if others find out."

"Your colleagues will all laugh at you."

Lu Huan: "Okay, then go quickly and come back soon."

"Um."

…

Su Qingci was led by a palace maid to the changing room.

"Ma'am, this is it."

"Okay, thank you for leading the way."

The maid bowed to her and said, "Thank you, Madam. I will take my leave now."

Su Qingci nodded and walked towards the inner hall.

She quickly finished her work and then returned the same way.

But after taking only two steps, he realized someone was following him.

She was startled and quickened her pace.

However, a black shadow flashed by quickly, and before she could react, someone suddenly grabbed her waist from behind and hugged her tightly. Su Qingci was so scared that her whole body trembled and she almost screamed.

The man quickly covered her lips to prevent her from speaking, and dragged her by the waist, as if he wanted to go somewhere else.

"Um..." Su Qingci tried to struggle, but the other party was too strong and she couldn't get free at all.

Who is it?

Could it be the prince?

He had always had feelings for her, but it didn't work out last time, and the Taoist priest predicted that she was an unlucky person and would bring trouble to the prince, so the prince gave up the idea of ​​marrying her.

But apart from him, who else would dare to act so recklessly in the palace? If he used the same tricks as he did last time in the East Palace, then she would really be in a dead end.

The man was very strong and dragged her into a cave.

Su Qingci almost collapsed to the ground, but the man laid her down on a stool in the cave.

"Hide, keep hiding!"

"I'll see where you can hide."

Su Qingci's fingertips trembled, and he stared at the person who came.

Yan Xuanye!

Yan Xuanye lifted her chin with his hand, admiring her dejected look and the ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Now you dare to glare at me. Why didn't you even dare to look at me when you were next to Lu Huan just now?"

"Why, are you afraid that he will know what happened between us?"

Su Qingci: "What do you and I have to do? Stop talking nonsense here! I don't even know you."

He sneered, but inexplicably made people tremble, "Wow, you want to pretend you don't know me?"

Su Qingci glared at him fiercely, the corners of her eyes were bright red, and the red mole at the corners of her eyes became even more eye-catching.

"You are so beautiful." Yan Xuanye exclaimed sincerely, and his big hand slowly moved up to touch the red mole at the corner of her eye.

His Adam's apple rolled, "Don't hide from me."

"obedient."

"I don't like it."

Su Qingci supported himself on the stone table with his left hand, his lips pale, "Why did you drag me here?"

"When will you let me go?"

Yan Xuanye sat down in the seat in front of her. The sound of someone talking came from outside the cave, as if someone was passing by.

But he didn't care. "I came to you because I have something to tell you. Once I've said it, I'll let you go."

Su Qingci's heart was beating very fast. If someone found out that she and Yan Xuanye were talking secretly in the cave, they would be drowned in the saliva of the world.

Yan Xuanye was still talking, but Su Qingci didn't hear clearly what he was saying. Seeing him chattering non-stop, she covered his lips with her hands in annoyance.

Just like he did when he dragged her here.

Yan Xuanye froze and stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.

Su Qingci was concentrating on listening to the noise coming from outside the doorway, while Yan Xuanye was trying hard to smell the fragrance in her palm.

The palms of a girl's hand are different from those of a grown man like him. They are soft, warm and have a faint fragrance.

Yan Xuanye's thoughts drifted away, and he imagined other uses for these hands in his mind.
