In the magnificent palace of the Dagan King's capital, the morning sun shines through the exquisite window lattices into the spacious and bright bedroom. Dongfang Qinyin is sitting elegantly at the dining table, enjoying breakfast with her father Dongfang Xiong.
Dongfang Qinyin gently picked up a dish with chopsticks and slowly put it into her mouth. At this moment, Dongfang Xiong asked with concern:
"Qin Yin, how is Xiao Ning doing recently? I heard that Piao Miao Xian Zong had issued a wanted order for him before, but now it has suddenly been revoked, and the charges against him have been overturned. Is this true?"
Hearing his father's question, Dongfang Qinyin nodded slightly and replied softly:
"Replying to Father, it is true. Xiao Ning has already explained the details to his daughter. It turned out that there were some traitors who practiced magic in the sect. Those traitors had evil intentions and deliberately framed Xiao Ning. Fortunately, the truth of this unjust case has finally come to light, and the matter has been resolved satisfactorily."
Dongfang Xiong nodded with satisfaction after hearing this and said with emotion:
"Well, I have always believed that Xiao Ning is not that kind of person! Back then, he bravely and fearlessly stood up and successfully prevented the thrilling battle between humans and demons. He is a hero of our human race. How could he be that kind of thief and sneaky person?"
Dongfang Qinyin smiled and responded gently: "Father is right. Xiao Ning is an upright and kind person. I also believe in his character."
After that, she quickly finished the remaining food in the bowl, then stood up, bowed respectfully to Dongfang Xiong, and said, "Father, the envoy of Da Chu will arrive in the capital this morning for a state visit. I need to go ahead and make some preparations."
After getting Dongfang Xiong's consent, Dongfang Qinyin then moved her lotus steps lightly and turned to leave the restaurant. Today, the entire Dagan Palace was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere. After all, the visit of the envoys from the Great Chu Kingdom was of great significance and related to the future friendly cooperation and peaceful coexistence between the two countries.
Dongfang Qinyin dragged her tired body back to the bedroom slowly. As soon as she entered the door, a group of well-trained palace maids came up to her and carefully took off her gorgeous robe. As the robe slipped off, her skin, as white and smooth as mutton-fat white jade, was instantly revealed, as if it could be blown away.
Then, another palace maid came forward with a very solemn and elegant red dress in her hands and gently put it on Dongfang Qinyin. The dress showed nobility and elegance with its exquisite embroidery and unique design, making Dongfang Qinyin, who wore it, exude a noble and charming charm, just like a fairy descending to the earth.
Ling'er, the personal maid standing beside him, flattered him with a flattering face: "Your Highness, you are really born with natural beauty and extraordinary temperament! It is probably difficult to find a woman who can compare with you in this world. If the prince consort came to see you, he would definitely be deeply impressed by your beauty that can overwhelm the whole country, and would be devoted to you from then on."
Dongfang Qinyin couldn't help but scold softly when she heard this:
"You have the sweetest mouth! Stop talking nonsense and pack up quickly, because I have to go to court in a while."
After saying this, she closed her eyes slightly and let the palace maids continue to dress her up.
Just as the maids were busy changing Dongfang Qinyin's clothes, suddenly, a strong hand reached out from behind without warning and covered her mouth and nose. At the same time, a black shadow quickly flashed behind her and dragged her backwards. This series of actions was so fast that the maids present didn't even have time to react, and the mysterious man had successfully replaced the maid who was originally dressing Dongfang Qinyin.
Surprisingly, despite such a change, Dongfang Qinyin, who was immersed in the thought of going to court, was completely unaware of it. She still sat there quietly, waiting for the palace maids to complete the final steps of dressing up.
When everything was ready, Dongfang Qinyin suddenly said, "Ling'er, go and get me the jade hairpin in the drawer on the left side of the dressing table."
However, as time passed, there was still no response from Ling'er...
Dongfang Qinyin frowned slightly, her heart full of doubts. Her beautiful eyes turned gently, as if she was thinking about something. She turned around quickly. At this moment, an extremely handsome face suddenly broke into her sight. The face was like a fine carving, every line was just right, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, staring at her affectionately. What was even more eye-catching was that he was holding a crystal clear jade hairpin in his hand that exuded a warm luster.
He spoke softly, his tone extremely gentle: "Your Highness, I didn't expect you to have been wearing this gift I gave you!"
This familiar voice flowed into Dongfang Qinyin's heart like a spring, and she froze in place. She stared at the person in front of her with her eyes wide open, as if time had frozen at this moment. After a long time, tears began to flow out of her clear eyes like autumn water uncontrollably, and slid down her fair cheeks.
"Ning... Ning'er..."
Dongfang Qinyin's lips trembled as she uttered the name with difficulty. Before she finished speaking, she stood up in a hurry and flew into Xiao Ning's warm embrace like a light butterfly.
Seeing this, Xiao Ning quickly raised his right hand holding the jade hairpin and exclaimed, "Hey, Princess, please slow down, be careful not to get pricked by this jade hairpin!"
However, Dongfang Qinyin didn't care about all these at this moment. She just wanted to fully feel the long-lost hug and warmth.
