A night of passionate lovemaking.
The next day, when Xie Lingqin opened her sleepy eyes, Yuwen Yao's warmth was gone from beside her. Only his scent lingered in the air, along with traces of their intimate moments.
"Tridacna." Xie Lingqin called out to the outside, but as soon as her voice came out, she realized that it was hoarse and weak, and every word was tinged with ambiguity.
Tridacna pushed open the door and came in, her face flushing slightly.
"When did the Crown Prince leave?"
"Miss, she left before dawn. She specifically told me to make red date soup and said that you should not go out for the next few days, but stay in the manor to recuperate and prepare for the imperial marriage banquet in a few days."
As Tridacna spoke, a smile of happiness for Xie Lingqin graced her face.
"Okay, then you can go down first, I'll sleep a little longer."
The door closed, and Xie Lingqin shrank back under the covers.
Under the quilt, not a single thread of clothing was on.
The marks from their passionate encounter were so clear on his body.
Xie Lingqin closed her eyes, recalling the events of last night bit by bit.
He tried his best to restrain himself, but in the end he still took her several times.
Even as he left, he clung to her tightly, reluctant to part, murmuring her name again and again, so softly and gently, as if her name sounded especially beautiful coming from his lips.
Those bulging lines, those taut muscles...
I've imagined countless scenes of him in my mind.
Huh!
Xie Lingqin was startled. Under the covers, her slender, delicate hand touched her body.
After doing that several times last night, she should have felt sore and sweaty, but she didn't feel that way at all. Instead, she felt comfortable all over.
this……
Xie Lingqin raised her eyes and looked at the cloak on the soft couch beside her, her eyes widening slightly.
This guy...
Could it be that he not only took her to the Crown Prince's residence for a bath, but also massaged her joints in the hot spring?
He really has stamina after all this running around!
Xie Lingqin blushed, then glanced at the pillow that still carried his scent, and suddenly felt a pang of heartache. She murmured softly, "Leaving before dawn must have been quite tiring."
As she said this, Xie Lingqin's face was filled with a contented smile.
Before long, Xie Lingqin fell asleep, and slept until nightfall.
After getting up, drinking soup, eating, and chatting with Ning Yi for a while, Xie Lingqin simply snuggled back into bed to continue sleeping as the night breeze became slightly cool.
And so Xie Lingqin began to live a life like a pig in bed, and these past few days have been extremely peaceful, with no one bothering her.
Relaxed, carefree, and peaceful, Yuwen Yao also calmed down. Every time he sneaked in at midnight, afraid of being disturbed by me, he would stay with her until she fell asleep, and then leave.
Xie Lingqin suddenly realized that these past few days had truly been the most comfortable and pleasant days she had experienced since she transmigrated here.
She didn't need to think, worry, or get annoyed. It seemed like everything would be arranged for her, and she could simply wait on hand and foot, doing whatever she was told. This kind of carefree life, taken care of by the man she loved most, was pure bliss.
Today is the imperial wedding banquet. The Emperor had already decreed that all the officials should enter the palace in turn at dusk after sunset.
At this point, the quiet days could not last too long.
"Xie Lingqin, are you really living comfortably under his confinement?"
Xu Yiran appeared at Qingshui Pavilion, looking dejected.
Xie Lingqin was slightly taken aback, and then said, "Xu Yiran, it's not that I'm being restricted, it's that I'm willingly choosing not to be disturbed."
"Xiao Qin, you've really been poisoned by him." Xu Yiran's eyes were filled with anger.
Xie Lingqin remained silent.
She felt powerless to get entangled with Xu Yiran about this.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yiran slightly curled her fingers, sighed, and then fell silent.
Then, Ning Yi appeared quietly and called out to Xu Yiran, "Brother."
Xie Lingqin frowned. Ning Yi wasn't someone who would get close to just anyone. He didn't reject the Crown Prince, but he hadn't called him "brother" either.
But that "brother" suddenly brought a touch of warmth to Xu Yiran's face, which seemed to be chilled to the bone.
"Xiao Qin, there's something I can tell you."
What are you trying to say?
“The Zhang family of Fengnuan City,” Xu Yiran said.
Xie Lingqin frowned, and Tinghai immediately appeared in the shadows, looking at Xie Lingqin.
Xie Lingqin then looked at Xu Yiran, "What do you mean?"
"If I told you that the person who killed Feng Nuan back then looked exactly like the Crown Prince, would you believe me?"
"I don't believe it," Xie Lingqin said outright.
"Why don't you believe me?" Xu Yiran asked with a wry smile, somewhat hurt.
Xie Lingqin said calmly, "There's no need for that, and it doesn't seem like his behavior. Tinghai is the best proof of that."
"That's true. It seems you really trust him completely."
Xu Yiran's face showed a hint of bitterness, but her narrow eyes shone with a sliver of light, and she was more determined than ever before. "Xiao Qin, I will not let go."
After saying that, Xu Yiran turned around and left.
Xie Lingqin watched Xu Yiran's retreating figure, then turned her gaze to Tinghai, "It's alright. Wasn't the Crown Prince investigating this matter back then? There will definitely be progress."
"Yes." Tinghai retreated dejectedly.
The sun quickly set in the west.
The general's carriage was already waiting outside.
This time, the Emperor held a grand wedding banquet in the palace. Envoys from various countries, nobles, and officials of the third rank and above all brought their wives into the palace, making it an exceptionally lively occasion.
As soon as Xie Lingqin stepped out of the mansion, she could smell the lively atmosphere in the air.
Moreover, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered outside the General's Mansion, and when Xie Lingqin came out, they were full of envy.
