"Yes, that must be it, but Ye Qiu didn't tell me."
Lin Jingshu thought to herself.
"It's time to go back, Princess. Please wait."
Ye Qiu waved and quickly disappeared into the distance.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Jingshu could no longer see Ye Qiu's back.
She stomped her foot in frustration and then ran into the palace of the Imperial Tutor.
"Mother, what did you and Ye Qiu talk about? Can you tell me?"
Lin Jingshu ran to Di Shiyin's side and affectionately took Di Shiyin's arm.
Imperial Tutor Yin patted Lin Jingshu's head and said gently with a smile, "Children shouldn't ask too many questions about adult matters. Just focus on your cultivation and do what you like."
"Mother, you always do this." Lin Jingshu was very unhappy. "Just tell me, I won't say anything, really, I promise you."
"But that's something that can't be said," Di Shiyin said softly. Looking into her daughter's clear eyes and thinking about her relationship with Ye Qiu, Di Shiyin felt a rare pang of shame.
But the less she said, the more curious Lin Jingshu became.
"Mother, if you don't tell me, I'll go ask Ye Qiu myself."
I want to date him, then get married, and after we're married, he'll tell me everything, humph.
Lin Jingshu thought she had come up with a good idea.
But what she received in return was a sudden, cold expression from the Imperial Tutor: "Lin Jingshu, I'm warning you, you'd better get rid of this idea. You and Ye Qiu can never be together in this lifetime, and I won't allow it."
"Huh?" Lin Jingshu's expression changed: "Mother, I was just joking, why are you so serious? I... I don't understand."
Even if I were to marry Ye Qiu, would that be a good thing?
"No means no. From this moment on, you are not to mention this kind of thing again, whether you're joking or serious. Do you understand?"
In Lin Jingshu's eyes, the Imperial Tutor's voice had become more serious than ever before.
Lin Jingshu dared not disobey and could only nod gently.
"Go have fun." Di Shiyin waved her hand.
"Yes, Mother, I'll be going now."
Lin Jingshu got up and left, full of doubts.
She could never understand why this was happening.
After Lin Jingshu left, a bitter smile finally appeared on Di Shiyin's lips.
She didn't want it to be like this, but once she and Ye Qiu started practicing that kind of technique, she could no longer allow Lin Jingshu and Ye Qiu to have any inappropriate relationship.
This is an inviolable principle!
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu returned to his own palace.
No sooner had they sat down than Chu Xiaoling eagerly appeared: "Brother Ye, what's it like being with the Empress Dowager?"
"ah?"
Ye Qiu froze, as if only then remembering that Chu Xiaoling, who had turned into a shadow, had been following him.
"What do you mean, Brother Ye? I'm so curious! Tell me, is the feeling of soul merging the same as physical contact?" Chu Xiaoling stared intently at Ye Qiu like a curious child.
Ye Qiu was both amused and exasperated: "Stop asking around, I have nothing to do with her."
"Impossible," Chu Xiaoling said immediately. "If nothing had happened, she definitely wouldn't..."
"Shut up." Ye Qiu interrupted Chu Xiaoling: "You are not allowed to ask about this matter in the future. Also, you do not need to come with me when I go to see the Empress Dowager."
"Ah, I don't want to." Chu Xiaoling immediately became stubborn: "Brother Ye, if you don't let me come along, I will become so curious that I will go crazy, lose self-control, and then do some things that I can't even imagine myself doing."
"For example?" Ye Qiu asked.
"For example, I might do *that* to you in the middle of the night..."
"ah?"
Ye Qiu was stunned.
First there was the Imperial Tutor Yin, and now is another Chu Xiaoling going to appear?
"Brother Ye, I'm not kidding you, I really dare."
"Damn it." Ye Qiu angrily hugged Chu Xiaoling: "Rather than let you humiliate me, I'd rather humiliate you first."
"Wow." Chu Xiaoling blinked her big eyes: "Brother Ye, please, don't insult me."
"I will grant your wish."
With a ripping sound.
That was the sound of a skirt tearing, echoing in the quiet hall.
Chu Xiaoling's pretty face quickly flushed red: "Brother Ye, are you...are you serious?"
"I'm angry, and the consequences will be severe."
Ye Qiu fiercely bent down...
