After a whole day and night of rain, the earth finally rested in the early morning of March 4th.
The air after the rain is unusually fresh and pleasant, as if it has been carefully filtered by nature; and what is even more wonderful is that a gorgeous rainbow quietly emerges in the sky, like a dreamy sky bridge spanning the sky.
The morning light penetrates through layers of clouds and falls on the earth like a golden veil, casting soft and warm rays of light and creating an extremely beautiful atmosphere.
In the main room of the pine and bamboo courtyard at the rear of Prince You's mansion, a couple who were sleeping in each other's arms gradually woke up from their deep sleep.
"Brother Li~"
Hua Qingcheng slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the man beside her, staring intently at her. His eyes were filled with tenderness and affection, like a pool of spring water, full of affection and love, making her feel intoxicated.
"Why don't you get some more sleep?"
Hua Qingcheng murmured softly, reaching out to gently caress Mu Lige's handsome, charming face. Her fingertips slowly traced the delicate contours of his features, as if she wanted to etch this wonderful touch into her memory forever.
"Qingqing~"
A low and gentle call, as if coming from across time and space, struck the depths of Hua Qingcheng's heart.
Mu Lige, who had been watching her silently, finally couldn't help but reach out and tightly grasp the little hand that was wandering freely on his face. He gently pulled it to his lips and gently kissed it with a feather-like touch.
Hua Qingcheng's hands felt like they were being electrocuted, a tingling sensation suddenly rising. She raised her head, her gaze meeting Mu Lige's, her eyes filled with joy and happiness. Mu Lige's eyes were deep and blazing, like the brightest stars in the night sky, possessing a fatal allure that drew one in.
"I just woke up not long ago."
Mu Lige's voice was dreamy, with a hint of morning laziness that only added to his alluring charm. He leaned slightly, pressing his body closer to Hua Qingcheng, feeling the warmth emanating from her. This intimate contact instantly brought them closer, as if they were the only ones left in the world.
The corners of Hua Qingcheng's lips curled up slightly, outlining a beautiful arc. Her face was filled with a happy smile, like a flower blooming in spring, fragrant and intoxicating.
They stared at each other silently, their eyes conveying endless affection without words. In this peaceful atmosphere, everything was so natural and pure. They enjoyed this rare sweet moment together.
Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige spent a long while cuddling before slowly getting up to wash and change. At four o'clock in the morning, they walked hand in hand to the Begonia Courtyard where Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun's wife and husband were staying.
"Dad, please eat less. Don't be greedy."
"Why, do you think I eat too much? Are you afraid that I'll make you broke, or are you afraid that I'll get fat and ugly?"
"No way!" Hua Rongsheng glanced helplessly at her husband, who was pregnant and whose temper was growing worse. She could only continue to coax him patiently. "Sanlang told me to eat small meals frequently and not to overeat, otherwise the fetus would be too large and the delivery would be doubly difficult..."
"Hmph, you must be so perfunctory because you think I've become fat and ugly..." As Ye Maochun spoke, his eyes turned red and tears flashed in his eyes, but the tears seemed to be about to fall, making him look so pitiful.
As Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige walked to the door of the dining hall in Haitangyuan, they saw Ye Maochun looking aggrieved.
"Mom, Dad's belly is so big now, can't you give him some leeway?"
Seeing Ye Maochun's tears, Hua Qingcheng felt distressed. She hurried forward and patted his back to calm him down. At the same time, she looked at Hua Rongsheng with a little resentment.
"Ha, Qingcheng, things... things are not what you think. I... I..."
Hua Rongsheng rubbed her brows in a headache. She felt like a scholar meeting a soldier—she couldn't explain herself. She swore that she had never bullied her husband.
"Qingcheng, why are you here?" After seeing Hua Qingcheng, Ye Maochun's depression disappeared in an instant. He stood up from his seat excitedly, held Hua Qingcheng's hand tightly, looked left and right, and after making sure that his beloved daughter was safe and sound, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally felt relieved.
"Mom, Dad." At this time, Mu Lige also came over and greeted the two of them.
Hua Rongsheng looked at Mu Lige for help, as if she had seen a savior. Mu Lige understood and quickly said, "Qingqing, mother loves father so much, how could she bully him? Mother has always been sensible in what she does. I'm sure she has her reasons..."
"That's right, that's right..." Hua Rongsheng nodded hurriedly, and then told Ye Maochun everything about his gluttony and how she advised him to eat smaller meals more frequently.
Then, Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige comforted Ye Maochun again.
However, seeing his daughter in a happy mood, Ye Maochun had already thrown away the unhappiness, and the family had breakfast together happily.
After dinner, Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige accompanied Hua Rongsheng and his wife for a walk in the garden to help digest the food, and then they sat in the pavilion to bask in the sun and chat.
"Qingcheng, Mom and Dad were able to escape this time, thanks to..."
Ye Maochun was about to tell Hua Qingcheng about his and Hua Rongsheng's thrilling experience when suddenly, Butler Mo from Prince You's Mansion came over and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, the Prince has ordered this old servant to come and report that last night, General Tian captured the Third Princess and Sixth Prince of Lengyue Kingdom alive. Your Highness requests that you proceed to the dungeon now."
"Okay, tell your prince that I will go over to interrogate them later." Hua Qingcheng instructed Butler Mo.
