Yi Zexuan turned and left, while the people inside had almost finished eating.
"You live far away, so you should go home soon. I won't keep you any longer," Su Lixia said.
Lin Ziwen waved his hand and said, "It's alright, we can just stay in the front yard for one night, it's the same."
Su Lixia smiled and said, "Alright then."
"However, we really cannot trouble the princess any longer today. The princess should rest early, and we can meet again another day."
Su Lixia nodded and said, "Okay, you too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ziwen stood up. Su Lixia saw him to the door, and the two parted ways after saying goodbye.
As soon as Lin Ziwen left, Xiao Lian said, "The Prince just came and left not long ago."
Su Lixia frowned: "Why would he come here for no reason?"
"The prince said that the reason why you, Princess, suffered from food poisoning was because the Empress's wine had gone bad, and that no one wanted to harm you."
Su Lixia nodded: "I thought he came to tell me about the autumn hunt."
"Autumn hunt? They hunt in the autumn here too?"
Su Lixia nodded and said, "They are a nomadic people here, and they are fiercer hunters than we are."
"I see. So the princess will also be participating?"
"Of course, after all, this is my first autumn hunt since I arrived. I reckon the young emperor will want to make a big fuss about it again, just like last time."
Xiao Lian covered her mouth and smiled: "They don't look very wealthy, but they are all quite generous."
Su Lixia raised an eyebrow: "You don't understand. They may not look rich, but they're actually not much worse off than us. If their land were easier to cultivate, they'd probably be even richer than us." Su Lixia was explaining based on what she read in the book.
Xiaolian looked like she understood but didn't quite, scratched her temple, and said, "Oh, I see."
"Okay, let's go to sleep. I'm sleepy after talking for so long."
"Alright, Princess, you can go to sleep after you've finished washing up. I'll go fetch some water."
Su Lixia hummed in agreement and watched Xiaolian leave: "This image looks like a mother and her three-year-old daughter."
Su Lixia rubbed her head: "How much did you pay to complete Mission One?"
"Ding! Darkening value +, checking for you. Also, mission one is finished. Please keep up the good work, my dear host!"
Hearing this, Su Lixia was taken aback and frowned as she asked, "Did my question just now trigger something? Otherwise, why would my corruption value suddenly increase?"
"Of course not. The corruption value can only be generated by the male lead, so it's a new corruption value that the male lead just generated for you."
Su Lixia scoffed in confusion, "You're allowed to do this even though I didn't do anything? What grudge do you hold against me?!"
But she didn't know that...
It was getting late, and Lin Ziwen really wanted to stay overnight at the Prince's Mansion, so after leaving the backyard, he went directly to Yi Zexuan's bedroom.
"You're really enjoying yourself. Get me a tub too, I want to soak my feet too," Lin Ziwen said, sitting opposite Yi Zexuan.
Yi Zexuan, with his eyes closed, replied, "If you want to get a perm, go back to your own residence. What kind of business is it to get one here?"
"Today I followed your instructions to take care of the princess, and then waited in the side hall all afternoon. I only just had lunch and met the princess. Seeing that she was alright, I came out. I'm so tired. Shouldn't I stay at the palace and enjoy myself?"
Yi Zexuan opened his eyes: "Tired? If you ask me, even if I made you wait there, wait there forever, you would be willing, wouldn't you?"
Lin Ziwen clicked his tongue: "What kind of talk is that? Do you think I'm going to cling to the princess?"
