Xu Mian didn't hear Shi Yan's voice, and Xuelian came in with nourishing soup.

"Xuelian, where is His Highness?"

Xuelian handed her the porcelain cup, "His Highness went to the back hall to bathe, and told me to watch you use the donkey-hide gelatin and pigeon soup."

"First, find me a silk dress, the one with peach pink gauze."

Xuelian guessed that the Crown Princess must want to please the Crown Prince, so she wore this outstanding cicada dress.

After helping her dress, Xu Mian looked down at herself, "Xue Lian, do you think I've changed? Why do I feel that my figure is not the same as before after giving birth?"

Xue Lian smiled and said, "The Crown Princess is as beautiful as a fairy, even more beautiful than before."

"Really? Then I'm relieved."

Xu Mian stroked her waist. Although it was not as slender as before she was pregnant, it was not thick either.

After drinking the nourishing soup, she leaned against the couch and felt drowsy. Who said that you can be full of energy after the confinement period? Obviously, your body is still weak.

At some point, Shi Yan walked in wearing a bathrobe, exuding a fresh and natural breath.

The water drops slowly slid down his muscular chest, outlining the smooth lines of his muscles, gleaming in the soft light, adding to his indescribable charm.

His face flushed slightly, and his eyes sparkled with clarity, as if washed away from the troubles and fatigue of the world.

A few strands of wet hair casually fell in front of his forehead, showing a somewhat casual and uninhibited temperament.

"Missing?"

He gently touched the tip of her nose, and the beauty moaned, awakened by the heat that penetrated into her ears.

"Ayan..."

She hooked her arms around his neck and was lifted up by his slender arms, revealing her jade body faintly visible under her peach-pink cicada clothes.

"Mianmian, what did you dream about when you fell asleep just now?"

He asked her gently. Xu Mian suddenly remembered the scene when Shi Jun came before, and she admitted her mistake with a guilty conscience, "Ayan, I didn't... I said I would compensate you and I would never lie to you..."

Shi Yan's forehead was against hers, "I know, I believe in Mianmian."

The heat of his palm was enough to melt her, and there was a lingering breath in the air.

"Does the wound still hurt?"

"No... it hurts..."

"Mianmian, call me your husband."

He coaxed her again and again, and she moaned in a coquettish voice again and again, "Husband... Husband..."

She called this name over and over again, and it was a whole night.

The maidservants waiting outside the palace heard the Crown Prince calling for water six times inside the palace, and there were some indescribable sounds, anyone who heard it would be ashamed.

The next day, the palace was decorated with lights and colors to celebrate the full moon of the princesses, and the atmosphere was joyous.

The full moon banquet was held in the Yijing Garden in the palace.

The palace servants shuttled back and forth to set up the scene with wine and snacks.

At noon, the eunuch Yuqian was heard to report, "Your Majesty has arrived, and the Queen Mother has arrived."

Prince Huan and the Queen Mother came out and sat down in the upper seats.

Beside the Queen Mother were two maids holding the eldest princess Mi Nan and the little princess Mi Zhi, both wrapped in red auspicious cloud brocade swaddling clothes.

Shi Yan led Xu Mian into the Yijing Garden, and the two wore dresses of the same color. He

bowed and said, "Your son greets the emperor, the grandmother, and your mother."

King Huan said calmly, "Your mother is feeling a little uncomfortable, I let her rest. Yan'er, take the Crown Princess to take a seat."

He pointed to the long table on the right, and Shi Yan took a seat. Xu Mian went to the upper seat to look at Nan Nan and Zhi Zhi, and after a while, he returned to Shi Yan's side.

Then he heard the eunuch report, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin has arrived."

Shi Jun walked slowly in a black robe with gold edges, holding two gold boxes in his hands.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Greetings, the grandmother."

Then he turned to Xu Mian, "I have prepared a gift for Nan Nan and Zhi Zhi, I hope the Crown Princess will like it."

He handed the two gold boxes to Xu Mian, and after opening them, there was a pair of gold necklaces and gold bracelets with coiled dragons and phoenixes.

The commander of the Jinwu Army came to King Huan and whispered, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

King Huan nodded with satisfaction, showing a confident smile. The palace had been surrounded by the Jinwu Army and was completely under his control.

At this time, two groups of people were ambushing outside the palace. One group was Shi Jun's people led by Wei Xin, and the other group was Shi Yan's people.

"Please sit down, King Jin."

Shi Jun sat at the table opposite Shi Yan and Xu Mian. Xu Mian lowered his head and tasted today's dishes.

Shi Yan had already felt the strong murderous aura, but he was not afraid. In addition to the group of people at the palace gate, the Southwest Army had already ambushed outside the city gate. As long as he sent a signal, the generals guarding the city would open the city gate and let the Southwest Army enter the city for rescue.

After peeling the lychee, "Mianmian, have a taste of the lychee."

Xu Mian opened her mouth and ate it with a charming smile on her face. Shi Jun, who was sitting opposite her, picked up the wine glass and drank a whole glass of wine while looking at her.

Halfway through the banquet, everything seemed so harmonious.

Prince Huan said, "Mother, you can take the two princesses back to rest first." The queen mother

glanced at Shi Yan. Shi Yan had always handed Nan Nan and Zhi Zhi to the queen mother for the safety of the two children.

"Okay, I'm a little sleepy too. I'll take Nan Nan and Zhi Zhi back to rest first."

When she stood up to leave, she said meaningfully, "Emperor, you are a kind father, don't forget."

How could Prince Huan not understand her hint? She was telling him to remember that he had been Shi Yan's father for eighteen years.

"Don't worry, mother."

After the queen mother took the princesses away, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Shi Yan held Xu Mian's hand, and the two looked at each other. Suddenly, the platform they were sitting on rose several meters high, and a large cage fell from it, covering the two of them.

Shi Yan sneered, "Father, oh, no, uncle, you finally showed your evil face!"

King Huan stood up and said with a flattering smile, "Yan'er, it's a pity that your wings are not fully grown. In the past eighteen years, I really loved you."

Shi Yan pouted, "Bastard!"

King Huan shouted, "Brother, why don't you show up? Do you want to watch your son die in vain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Lin, wearing a gray-blue Taoist robe, appeared, along with Queen Xiao.

When King Huan saw Queen Xiao's eyes, he was startled. In order to prevent her from witnessing what happened today, he even gave her a drug that could make her lose her soul .

Taoist Lin said, "King Huan, you have borrowed the throne for eighteen years, it's time to return it to me!"

Queen Xiao walked straight to King Huan, said nothing, and slapped him hard.

"Xue'er."

Empress Xiao's eyes were filled with tears, and she shook her head angrily, "You made me faint today just to harm my son? You are so cruel!"

King Huan's heart sank, and he hugged her to prevent Empress Xiao from moving, and shouted, "Capture this evil Taoist for me!"

The Jinwu Army was dispatched, and the imperial guards led by Prince Fu and the guards led by Yunhao of the Eastern Palace rushed out to resist and protect Master Lin, Shi Yan and Xu Mian.

Shi Yan held Xu Mian's hand, and the two watched the fight below from a high place.

"Mian Mian, don't be afraid."

Shi Jun raised his head and looked at Xu Mian, Mian Mian, I will save you.

The two sides were fighting fiercely, and Empress Xiao advised: "Your Majesty, stop it."

Prince Huan was furious and covered her mouth to prevent her from speaking. Empress Xiao shed tears of despair, and her only hope for him disappeared.
