In a blink of an eye, the sun sets and the bright moon rises.

The flowers and plants emit a faint fragrance, and the moonlight casts hazy shadows under the trees.

Li Lingji invited Mu Jinan to stay at Yuanxiangyuan for one night.

At this moment, tables were set up in the courtyard, and everyone was drinking and singing.

Yu Xiaoqiao held the cup slenderly, sipping slowly, her cheeks flushed and her eyes full of drunkenness.

"Drinking today...are you happy or unhappy?" Si Wenming gently blocked the wine glass that Yu Xiaoqiao was about to pour into her mouth, and asked softly.

Yu Xiaoqiao looked at him with a dazed look in her eyes and smiled sweetly: "What about you?"

Si Wenming smiled gently and raised his cup to drink together.

Yu Chuxiao and Yu Xiaomo were chatting and laughing, while Lao Mu was beside them, eating and drinking happily.

Yu Chuwan and Li Lingji drank heartily, Feng Zisu and Mu Jinan drank refreshingly and elegantly, and Li Lingyan drank alone with a gloomy expression.

Yu Xiaoqiao saw that he was different from usual.

So he stood up, picked up the wine pot, walked behind Li Lingyan, tapped his shoulder, and whispered, "Want to go for a walk?"

The two staggered to the lawn and sat down against the roots of a tree.

Yu Xiaoqiao took a sip from the wine jug and handed it to Li Lingyan.

Li Lingyan took it, took a big gulp of wine, smiled slightly, and remained silent.

Yu Xiaoqiao frowned and asked curiously, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Li Lingyan looked gloomy and pretended to be relaxed.

Yu Xiaoqiao looked at him and felt a pang of melancholy that could not be blown away even by the spring breeze, and her heart ached.

“How nice it would be if I never grew up!” Li Lingyan lay on the grass, looking at the dark night sky.

Yu Xiaoqiao was stunned when she heard this, and slowly looked at Li Lingyan, seeing a trace of uneasiness in his eyes, "When you are a child, happiness is simple, and when you grow up, simplicity is happiness! But yesterday's sun cannot dry today's clothes, and you must grow up and walk this thorny road!"

"If there are objects or bones, can we test the blood relationship?" Li Lingyan stood up, took a big gulp of wine, wiped his mouth, and asked.

Yu Xiaoqiao frowned slightly and said quietly, "The bones are definitely fine. If there is DNA on the object, it should be OK, but it generally won't last too long."

"Can the disaster that comes instantly be predicted?" Li Lingyan pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and asked stutteringly.

Yu Xiaoqiao nodded.

The two were silent for a long time, and did not return to the banquet, but went back to their rooms to rest.

"Carrying all the light in my body, I am not confused or panic, I am not sad or hurt, I am completely immersed in the wilderness, without your gaze, there is only emptiness... I am immersed in the scorching sun, without your gaze..."

Xiaodu flashed blue light and played the song "Nothing is worse than You" slowly.

Yu Xiaoqiao lay on the bed, her face filled with sadness.

"Why did you come back suddenly?" Si Wenming's gentle voice came.

Yu Xiaoqiao turned off Xiaodu, stood up, leaned against the head of the bed, and patted the edge of the bed.

Si Wenming walked slowly to the bedside, his eyes as clear as water.

Yu Xiaoqiao slowly stood up, leaned towards Si Wenming, and rested her face lightly on his back.

Si Wenming tilted his head slightly and asked softly, "What happened to Li Lingyan?"

Yu Xiaoqiao shook her head slightly, still leaning against his back, humming softly.

"…Everything is dark, only your eyes are bright. Go to a distant place to look at the sun. Everything is sad, only your eyebrows are raised… You brought wind and rain when you came, and took away the four seasons when you left…"

The next day, the sun shines brightly.

Mu Jin'an and Li Lingyan returned on horseback, while the others returned in five carriages, two of which were occupied by maids.

Yu Xiaoqiao and Si Wenming were in the same carriage. Yu Xiaoqiao was lying on one side of the carriage, while Si Wenming was sitting on the other side. There was a small square table in the middle, on which were cakes and tea.

Yu Xiaoqiao closed her eyes to rest, while Si Wenming quietly read. When Yu Xiaoqiao was bored, Si Wenming would talk to her and sometimes read poems to her.

Everything is natural and everything is comfortable.

Yu Xiaomo, Yu Chuxiao and Lao Mu were in the same car. Lao Mu stood by the window, looking at the scenery along the way.

Yu Xiaomo and Yu Chuxiao were on the other side, fiddling with their postures, chanting spells, and pointing here and there outside.

Li Lingji, Feng Zisu and Yu Chuwan were in the same car, chatting, laughing and singing all the way.

Li Lingyan and Mu Jinan set out at the same time, but Li Lingyan rode his horse at full speed all the way. Before long, Mu Jinan was left behind by an unknown distance.

A few days later, by the river in the suburbs.

The crescent moon is bright and gentle, with a soft light reaching the tips of the willow leaves. The willow leaves sway gently, as if they had been washed in milk, or like a dream shrouded in a veil.

As the breeze blew by, dreams flowed into the heart of the girl under the tree, causing ripples and a touch of shyness.

"Ji'er!" Mu Qingyang, wearing a royal blue silk robe that highlighted her slender figure, called softly with shining eyes.

Li Lingji's eyes were filled with concern, and a faint smile spread across the corners of her lips. She asked softly, "Qingyang, is Prince Mu feeling better?"

"I don't know why, but he has been in a bad mood and feeling unwell recently. He has been feeling much better in the past two days. It's rare that Ji'er is in such a good mood. It seems that he had a great time at the spring outing at Zidietai." Mu Qingyang took Li Lingji into his arms and looked at the moon in the sky and the stars in the sky.

Li Lingji hooked her slender arms around Mu Qingyang's neck and slowly placed a light kiss on the corner of his mouth.

A hint of sweetness crept into Mu Qingyang's heart. He noticed that Li Lingji was different today than before. She was proactive and gentle.

Li Lingji looked at him affectionately, her eyes sparkling. "I've made up my mind. Life is short, and we must live for ourselves. I won't force you anymore. Let's work hard together. I believe that with sincerity, things will be different."

Mu Qingyang was moved, with tears of emotion in his eyes. He put his arms around Li Lingji's waist, lowered his head and kissed her again. He slowly extended his tongue, tasting the sweetness that belonged only to her, asking for it inch by inch, and it penetrated deep into her bones.

Under the moonlight, the picture is beautiful and more romantic than the starry sky.

The next day, Shangqingzhai.

"No, it's a human hand, not a chicken's claw." Li Lingyan looked at Yu Xiaoqiao's painting and said absentmindedly.

Yu Xiaoqiao looked at her hands and sighed helplessly, "Hey! My hands, which were kissed by God, are quite beautiful. Why haven't I gotten rid of the chicken claw curse even after painting them for so long?"

"Sister, you were kissed by the Buddha. When he raised his mouth, he must have accidentally bitten you, and you are now disabled!" Li Lingyan pretended to hiccup and teased.

Yu Xiaoqiao curled her lips and snorted, then placed her left hand on the paper and began to draw along the shape of her hand.

"A genius! You only appear once in a century! My admiration for you is as endless as the surging river!" Li Lingyan's eyes almost popped out when he saw this scene, and he gave a thumbs up in surprise.

Yu Xiaoqiao painted seriously and attentively, and said softly, "You're welcome! You're welcome!"

Yu Xiaoqiao took great pains to draw a "banana". When she looked up again, she saw Li Lingyan standing there in a daze, looking very sad. She smiled and said, "Hey, what are you thinking about? You are in Cao's camp, but your heart is with Han!"

"Could you please...help me check something right here?" Li Lingyan bit his lips tightly, touched the thing in his arms, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. The words in his heart were knotted in his throat. After taking a deep breath, he spoke slowly.

Yu Xiaoqiao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Beg me?!"

Li Lingyan glanced at Yu Xiaoqiao and stammered, "Please! Please, aunt!" Seeing Yu Xiaoqiao shaking her head and smiling at him, he picked up the banana, peeled it, and handed it to her mouth, grinning and saying, "Help me!"
