Chapter 322
Meng Yun is a sentimental person. To some extent, he can understand Meng Yun's feelings and knows how to hit his sore spot.
Sure enough, after Song Xuan finished speaking, Meng Yun's expression gradually changed from complicated to firm. He clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, he kowtowed three times to Song Xuan, thus signifying that the agreement had been reached.
Even after Meng Yun and Xia Qianjun emerged from the imperial study, Xia Qianjun's expression remained one of shock and bewilderment.
She was deeply shaken, not by the alliance between the Third Prince and His Majesty, but by His Majesty's earlier inquiry into her future with the Third Prince...
Xia Qianjun couldn't help but look at Meng Yun, who was being supported by Gan Lin beside him.
The future His Majesty speaks of is probably not what she's thinking.
Meng Yun noticed Xia Qianjun's gaze. He turned his head slightly, and when their eyes met, Xia Qianjun sensed a complex and intense emotion hidden in Meng Yun's eyes, quite different from his usual humility and gentleness.

In the following days, whenever Song Xuan had free time, he would stay in the Imperial Study to repair double-sided embroidery. He didn't even go to the Golden Hall for several nights, but instead stayed in the Imperial Study.
As the autumn hunt drew closer, Shen Man's spirits improved, and she was finally able to leave the palace. However, her expression still carried fear and apprehension.
On Xia Qianjun's side, after the day they formed an alliance, Meng Yun settled down in the palace to recuperate, and Shen Qingnian would occasionally give him some gifts.
Every few days, Xia Qianjun would go to the Golden Hall to pay his respects to Shen Qingnian. He would also bring some pastries for the two little ones to try. The sachet he had promised to embroider for little Shen Xi was also sent over, and he also embroidered one for little Yan Qing as well.
The two little ones were delighted and played with Xia Qianjun for a while. This time, Shen Qingnian didn't stop them. Since there was now a conflict of interest between them, they could be considered friends for the time being.
Now, besides being in Yongshou Palace, Xiao Shenxi and Xiao Yanqing can also play with Xia Qianjun and Meng Yun.
Today is the day before the autumn hunt.
In the afternoon, Song Xuan, dressed in black, arrived at the Golden Hall, followed by palace servants carrying a screen.
Shen Qingnian and Xia Qianjun were drinking tea in the hall, while the two little ones were playing with Liu Yurou.
Song Xuan strode into the hall, his expression not as cold and serious as usual, but rather with a hint of a smile.
Shen Qingnian rushed forward to greet him, but the two little ones' eyes were drawn to the double-sided embroidery. Xia Qianjun stood up nervously, unsure whether to leave or stay.
Xia Qianjun was very afraid of Song Xuan. She felt that this emperor of Da Xuan was imposing without being angry, and except for the Imperial Concubine, he was cold to everyone else.
"Wow! Is this an embroidery? It's so beautiful!" Little Yanqing stared wide-eyed at the embroidery being carried into the hall, his face full of amazement.
This embroidery is truly amazing. Moreover, it is embroidered with gold thread, so that as long as there is a little light, the whole embroidery will shine as brightly as a pearl.
Song Xuan patted Xiao Yanqing's head, then glanced at Shen Qingnian before saying, "It was embroidered by your mother herself; it's called double-sided embroidery."
"Wow! Mommy is really amazing!" Little Shen Xi couldn't help but give a thumbs up, her little voice filled with pride.
Shen Qingnian, standing beside him, couldn't help but glance at the temple, wanting to see how the man was doing with the repairs—
