The next morning, Lu Yanluo had just gotten up to eat when Xiao Ran approached her mysteriously and whispered in her ear, "There's news from the palace that Miss Qin's affair has been finalized. She went to His Majesty's bedroom with Consort Xian last night and was directly invited to sleep with him. This morning, His Majesty's imperial edict was sent directly from the bedroom to the Ministry of Rites, conferring the title of Princess Dongchen Li Changhua as Consort Hui."

"Noble Concubine Hui?" Although Lu Yanluo had already expected this in her heart, she did not expect Qin Xuelin to act so quickly, and she was immediately made a noble concubine. For a moment, she was happy that Qin Xuelin's plan had succeeded, but she also felt a little sorry for her, and mostly felt aggrieved.

I have to say that Qin Xuelin is indeed very capable and thoughtful. The Night Palace only gave her an identity to take advantage of, but she didn't expect that once she gained power, she would be on par with Concubine Xian. I wonder what Concubine Xian feels in her heart.

Lu Yanluo sat at the dining table. She lost her appetite for a moment and put down her chopsticks in a daze.

[Qin Xuelin is just fifteen years old this year, which should be the age when girls are most carefree. If it weren't for Concubine Shu's cruelty, her sister would surely be able to arrange a marriage for her after the marriage proposal. It doesn't have to be rich, but the couple should be loving. ]

[What a pity, she suddenly changed, at such a young age, she had to give herself to an old man. I wonder if she will regret it after getting her revenge.]

Lu Yanluo was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice there was someone standing outside the door.

Chu Xuan brought Chu Yao and Chu Yuan in through the main gate. Before they even entered the door, they saw Lu Yan with drooping eyebrows and looked uninterested.

When Chu Yuan saw his mother, he was about to rush in regardless of anything, but was pulled back by his father. Chu Xuan raised his hand and shushed her, saying softly, "Yuanyuan, be good. Mother is in a bad mood today. Yuanyuan, please don't bother her, okay?"

"Okay." Chu Yuan agreed cautiously, and then asked: "Dad, what's wrong with Mom?"

Chu Xuan shook his head, patted the two children soothingly, walked in first, and asked casually, "Why don't you eat?"

Lu Yanluo came back to her senses and saw Chu Xuan and the two children coming in. She quickly reached out and hugged the two babies, kissing them one by one for comfort.

"Nothing, you guys finished so soon? Did you have breakfast?"

The capital has been in turmoil these days, so Chu Xuan cancelled Chu Yao's classes at school and specially found a highly respected teacher to come to the mansion to give lectures to Chu Yao.

This morning, when the Master entered the mansion, Chu Xuan took Chu Yao with him. Chu Yuan was mischievous and followed him with a smile.

Chu Xuan sat down at the side with great determination and ordered the servants to bring over a few sets of bowls and chopsticks: "The teacher came here early in the morning mainly to see Chu Yao. He tested him on a few subjects and then left. I guess he wanted to find out Yao's level in advance so that he could teach him according to his aptitude."

Hearing this, Lu Yanluo gently touched Chu Yao's little head and said, "How is our Yaoyao? Was he praised by the teacher?"

Chu Yao has been more intelligent than other children since he was young. He is smart and clever, and is willing to study hard in school. Lu Yanluo has never worried about his schoolwork.

Chu Xuan smiled and said affirmatively: "Of course, the teacher said that our son is extremely intelligent, solid and steady in his studies, and quite insightful. He is a talented person with great potential."

"Really?" Lu Yanluo was happy and hugged Chu Yao proudly: "You really make mother proud. Our Yaoyao is really great!"

Seeing that her mother only hugged her brother and not her, Chu Yuan immediately refused to accept it and threw herself into Lu Yanluo's arms, secretly trying to squeeze Chu Yao out: "The teacher also praised Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan is also amazing!"

"Great, great! Yuanyuan is amazing too!"

Looking at the mother and her two children making a mess, Chu Xuan watched quietly with a doting smile on his face.

In order to allow the three people in front of him to live a carefree life, Chu Xuan would rather transform into a Shura and kill all the demons and monsters, just wishing them peace and happiness.

After breakfast, Xiao Ran took the two children out to play, and Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo also strolled around the mansion hand in hand.

Thinking of Qin Xuelin in the palace, Lu Yanluo sighed and said, "Xiao Ran told me this morning that Miss Qin was canonized as Consort Hui. You know about this, right?"

Chu Xuan paused and looked at Lu Yanluo in silence without denying it.

Someone had already leaked the news about Qin Xuelin's sleeping with the emperor last night, and everything was within his expectations.

Qin Xuelin was very ambitious and happened to be the emperor's new favorite. The emperor valued her very much and had ordered her to enter the palace every night to serve him.

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo suddenly felt uncomfortable. She shook off Chu Xuan's hand in a huff and walked aside in silence.

She knew that this matter had nothing to do with Chu Xuan, but she just couldn't get over it in her heart.

Lu Yanluo looked into the distance and exhaled slowly: "Sorry, I just..."

"Okay, I understand." Chu Xuan raised his hand and embraced her from behind. He tilted his head to kiss Lu Yanluo's hair and said, "A-Luo, I know you have been disgusted with this matter since the beginning. You have always felt that you were the one who sent Qin Xuelin to the palace, and you feel bad about it."

"But have you ever thought that Qin Xuelin entered the palace not for others, but was determined by herself after careful consideration. It's not that you don't want to help her, but you can't help her. What hurt her was this cannibalistic world and the bullying Qin in the palace, not you."

"I think Qin Xuelin chose to enter the palace as a concubine because she understood this. Since someone took advantage of her power to commit crimes, she became the power that no one could get past. For Qin Xuelin, the current life may be exactly what she needs, so you don't need to feel guilty about this matter. If there is a real crisis in the future, I will definitely not stand idly by."

Lu Yanluo turned around and snuggled in Chu Xuan's arms. After a long while, she nodded: "I understand. I'm sorry. I got angry with you for no reason just now. I just..."

Lu Yanluo felt a little apologetic.

Chu Xuan smiled and hugged her tighter: "Why do we need to say this between you and me? I am your husband. If you have a temper, who else can you vent it on but not me? But..."

Chu Xuan stared into Lu Yanluo's eyes and spoke slowly: "Don't keep anything in your heart in the future. You have me. Even if the sky falls, your husband will hold it up for you."

Lu Yanluo looked deeply into Chu Xuan's eyes. There was a little girl there, smiling brightly, brightening the whole winter day.

In the distance, the wind is light and the clouds are thin, the ice and snow are beginning to melt. Unknowingly, the cold winter is about to pass, and the warm spring breeze breaks through the cold with hope, and spring is here.

The two walked forward side by side. The road ahead was still long. He thought that they should keep going like this. The top was too lonely. Having someone to walk with you hand in hand would make your life worthwhile.
