“Yes,” Nan Qianyue wiped away her tears and forced a smile, “I hope Mother understands that I cannot reveal information about my adoptive father.”
The Prime Minister's wife was very understanding. "You can make the decision. Your mother will support you."
The heartwarming scene of the family reunion continued late into the night.
"Why hasn't Father come back yet?" Nan Yichu looked towards the door. "If he doesn't come back soon, my eldest sister will be leaving."
Nanqianyue chuckled, "How about I stay at the Prime Minister's residence tonight?"
"Your Highness!" The woman in red broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing everyone looking at her, she forced an awkward smile. "His Highness is still waiting for you."
Nan Qianyue said easily, "It's okay, go back and tell him that I won't be going back tonight."
The woman in red looked bitter. "Your Highness, can this arduous task be delegated to someone else?"
"Alright, alright," the Prime Minister's wife gently patted Nan Qianyue's hand. "Now that you are the Princess Consort of Anzheng, there's no reason why you shouldn't stay at your parents' home. Anyway, it's not far away, we can talk during the day."
Nanqianyue clung to the Prime Minister's wife's arm, acting like a spoiled child, "Mother, I'm leaving now."
...
The palace banquet lasted until very late, and Nanqian Yue assumed that Qin Yi was still in the palace like his father.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, he was abducted without warning.
"You're back?" Nan Qianyue exclaimed in surprise, staring at Qin Yi's sharply defined jawline.
Qin Yi walked briskly, carrying her directly towards Tianji Courtyard. "Yes, I missed you so much that I left the palace ahead of schedule."
Nanqianyue smiled and said, "It's only been a few hours since we last met, is it really that big of a deal?"
"As for..." Qin Yi lowered his eyes, his gaze burning with intensity.
Nan Qianyue instantly understood, her expression slightly flustered, "You, your scars haven't even fallen off yet."
Qin Yi raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, it won't affect my strength."
Southward Migration Month: "..."
The servants had already prepared the bath. Qin Yi dismissed the maids, carried Nan Qianyue to the bath, and raised his hand to take off her clothes.
"Stop, stop, stop! I've already washed. Didn't you notice I changed all my clothes?" Nan Qianyue pressed his hand down.
Qin Yi's eyes were cloudy. "Come wash with me."
Nanqianyue frowned, "You can't take a bath yet, you can only wipe yourself down."
"Then you wipe it for me."
"..."
The southward migration compromised, turned around to fetch a soft cloth, soaked it, wrung it out until it was half-dry, and when he turned back, the person had already taken off his clothes.
"You're quick, aren't you?" She gave a stiff smile and pressed the soft cloth against his chest.
The moment they made contact, Qin Yi pulled her into his arms, and he whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice, "There's something even faster."
Nanqianyue's cheeks flushed red. "If you don't let go, wipe it yourself."
Qin Yi smiled and picked her up, jumping into the bathtub, splashing water everywhere.
Nanqianyue angrily slapped him, "I told you you can't..."
