Chapter 71 The Second Night of the Wedding: Keeping Someone Here!
Now that he has found a "god of wealth" like Qian Yueshu, how could he not be overjoyed?
certainly.
Lin Shaoyao's closeness to Qian Yueshu was not entirely due to the consideration of "mooching meals".
He had been close to Xiao Qingxuan since childhood, so it could be said that he loved Xiao Qingxuan because of Xiao Qingxuan!
The person His Highness the Crown Prince likes.
He will like it too.
Looking at Lin Shaoyao's funny expression.
Xiao Qingxuan's face was practically overflowing with smugness: "From now on, when we discuss important matters outside, we'll set the venue at—Mingyue Tower!"
He paused deliberately, enjoying the incredulous expressions on everyone's faces, before throwing out the most crucial sentence: "Moreover, all expenses are free."
"Completely free?"
Lin Shaoyao's voice rose an octave, so excited he almost reached for Qian Yueshu's sleeve to confirm.
Xiao Qingxuan stopped him in time with a sharp look.
He can't touch his woman, not even his own cousin.
Lin Shaoyao tactfully withdrew his hand and happily spun around twice: "That's wonderful! Miss Qian, if His Highness ever wrongs you in any way, just tell me, and I'll be the first to teach him a lesson!"
Although Zhao Qing wasn't as outwardly expressive as Lin Shaoyao, his gaze towards Qian Yueshu held a greater sense of gratitude and approval.
Zhou Wenyuan stroked his beard and smiled.
He considered things more deeply; if His Highness the Crown Prince could gain the Qian family's assistance, it would be the icing on the cake.
There was only one person who wasn't very happy, and that was Xiao Li!
Xiao Li is the son of the Grand Tutor, a close friend of the Crown Prince, and also his advisor. He secretly loves Liu Yu.
He believed that only Liu Yu was qualified to stand beside the Crown Prince and share that supreme position.
Xiao Qingxuan took in everyone's reactions, and the frustration he felt from his long-term financial difficulties seemed to dissipate considerably during this moment of "showing off".
He looked at Qian Yueshu again.
Qian Yueshu immediately replied, "Your Highness and gentlemen are busy with national affairs. I am incompetent and can only do my best in some mundane matters. In the future, when Your Highness and the others come here, please put all your needs on my tab."
Her tone was calm and natural, as if she were simply stating a trivial matter.
That kind of magnanimity.
This made everyone present think more highly of her.
"Haha, good! Since that's the case, what are we waiting for?" Lin Shaoyao couldn't wait any longer, rubbing his hands together. "Good wine and good food, let's drink until we drop!"
Xie Mansion.
Xie Jingxing plans to have dinner with Qian Yueqiu at Qiushui Pavilion tonight.
After the meal, we went to Jinse Pavilion.
Just as Su Zhirou said.
After all, she represented the face of the matriarch of the Xie family.
He's going to Jinse Pavilion tonight to give her this respect.
The main reason is that Xie family head doesn't only have one child.
He also needed Su Zhirou to help him maintain his power as the head of the Xie family's inner quarters and to suppress the unruly demons and monsters within the Xie family.
Women's affairs are for women to handle; even Xie Jingxing can't get involved.
Qian Yueqiu is too naive and simply cannot handle such a situation.
Night fell.
The lanterns of the Xie residence lit up one after another, casting swaying shadows on the bluestone slabs.
Inside Qiushui Pavilion, candlelight shone brightly. Qian Yueqiu had specially changed into a newly tailored Xiangfei-colored silk skirt, the hem of which was embroidered with twin lotus flowers, and with each step she took, it rippled with tiny, flowing light.
"Ah Xing, try this." She picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish with her chopsticks, and sat down on his lap with her body going limp, wrapping her jade arms around his neck. "I love eating fish the most, so I want you to like it too."
She breathed softly into the man's ear, her voice so sweet it could melt water.
Xie Jingxing looked down at the person in his arms.
Qian Yueqiu was clearly dressed up carefully today. Her hair was styled into the most popular "Jinghong" bun, adorned with a red-gold and kingfisher feather hairpin, and a hibiscus flower decoration on her forehead. Her face was lightly powdered, which made her skin look even whiter than snow.
Qian Yueqiu may be naive, but she is breathtakingly beautiful!
Especially her almond-shaped eyes, which are always glistening with moisture, like a newborn fawn, clear and untouched by the world.
Perhaps fate is fair.
It gave Qian Yueqiu a bad mind, but it also gave her an exceptionally beautiful appearance.
Even in the capital city, where beauties abound, her looks are outstanding.
But today, he had to go to Jinse Pavilion to consummate his marriage with Su Zhirou.
Although they had already gone to sleep...
But outsiders don't know that the couple has already consummated their marriage.
Therefore, Xie Jingxing not only had to go to Jinse Courtyard, but also had to hand over a handkerchief stained with virgin blood so that Su Zhirou could gain a foothold in the Xie family.
This is a responsibility he must bear as the eldest son of the Xie family!
Xie Jingxing's idea is quite good.
We'll leave right after we finish eating.
But Qian Yueqiu wouldn't allow it!
Although she wasn't very bright, it didn't stop her from vying for the emperor's favor.
Qian Yueqiu was overly enthusiastic towards him today, and even tried her best to seduce him during the meal.
One moment she'd sit on his lap, the next she'd want him to feed her, her restless little hands circling his chest, her eyes alluring, making him almost lose control.
He knew she was doing it on purpose.
You underestimated Qian Yueqiu!
She's not very bright, but she's extremely possessive of him.
"Yueqiu, stop fooling around." He tried to push her away.
Instead of restraining herself, Qian Yueqiu became even more brazen.
She unbuttoned his collar, her warm lips pressed against his neck, leaving a faint red mark: "Ah Xing, please don't leave tonight, okay?"
She tilted her head back, her eyes glistening with tears, a mixture of pleading and allure in them. "I've learned a new dance, I'll show you."
Without waiting for his reply.
She had slid off his lap and was now barefoot on the soft, snow-white carpet.
Qian Yueqiu's skirt fluttered like a burst of fireworks.
Her dance was exquisite, her waist incredibly supple, and every turn, every glance, was filled with an irresistible allure.
Xie Jingxing watched her spin in the candlelight, as if she were a celestial being descended to earth.
This moment.
He forgot the power struggles in the court, forgot his responsibilities as the eldest son of the Xie family, and only had eyes for the woman dancing for him.
The dance ended.
Qian Yueqiu, drenched in sweat, collapsed into his arms, her chest rising and falling slightly, creating an alluring curve: "Ah Xing, did I dance well?"
"Okay," he replied briefly, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
"How about we don't leave tonight?"
"Okay!" Xie Jingxing replied, somewhat moved.
I heard he would stay.
Qian Yueqiu smiled smugly, like a cat that had stolen some cream, and took the initiative to kiss his lips.
Her kissing technique was clumsy yet passionate, and Xie Jingxing's last shred of reason crumbled during that kiss...
He took the initiative, picked her up horizontally, and carried her to the carved bed in the inner room.
The boudoir is warm, but the spring night is too short.
That said.
Qian Yueshu really is a person who always seeks revenge.
That day, at the banquet at the Lin family mansion, she encountered Shen Yan, who had cheated on Qian's father, and she had been plotting to kill him ever since.
However, I was held up by my cousin's matter and haven't had time to deal with it.
My cousin is now married.
She also had the means to avenge her father!
