"It's okay, just eat." Nangong Ziqiu said lightly. After hearing this, Xie Yunxiao actually started to eat.

After both of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Chunqin and other maids brought them tea to help them digest the food.

However, this time Nangong Ziqiu noticed a detail.

He glanced at everyone and finally landed on Hua Xin. He asked in confusion, "Why is Xinxin only drinking water?"

Hua Xin looked down at the cup in front of her, then nodded slightly and explained, "Yes, I don't feel like drinking tea recently. I just want to drink some warm water to nourish my stomach. I feel that this is better for my body."

Nangong Ziqiu stared quietly at Hua Xin's serene face, seeming to be thinking about something in his heart, but he did not continue to ask questions on this topic.

At this time, Xie Yunxiao suddenly broke the silence: "Nini, have you and Big Brother decided on the wedding date?"

Hua Xin smiled slightly, turned to look at Xie Yunxiao, and replied softly: "Yes, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory selected three dates, but the emperor and father both wanted to get married as soon as possible, so we set the date on March 6th."

Xie Yunxiao was slightly stunned, then he quickly calculated the date and said in surprise, "March 6? Isn't that three days from now? Is it possible to prepare in such a short time?"

"Of course we're still in time. Moreover, it was the Western Liao who took the initiative to stop the war and arrange marriage, so everything is up to us. Besides, the people in the Ministry of Rites are already used to it, and I guess a lot of things are ready. Someone might come to arrange it tomorrow, so the third brother and I will be busy. You two, along with the fifth brother, should be alert. It's best if nothing happens, otherwise someone might take the opportunity to do something."

When Mo Chuli and Xie Yunxiao heard what Nangong Ziqiu said, they both looked ready for battle.

Hua Xin waved her hands and said, "Hey, don't be so nervous. We are holding a wedding in our mansion. What accidents can happen? We have three layers of defense inside and outside. Our mansion is like an iron wall now. Nothing will happen."

Hua Xin was still very confident in the secret guards. None of the Huaying Guards, the Eighteen Azure Dragon Guards, and Nangong Ziqiu's people were simple.

"You all have to watch the ceremony that day. Chuli and Yunxiao shouldn't be too restrained." Mo Chuli and Xie Yunxiao, whose names were called by Hua Xin, looked at her.

Mo Chuli said with a gentle smile on his face: "Xinxin, I will be here, you don't have to worry about me."

Xie Yunxiao patted his chest and assured, "Nini, don't worry, if anyone wants to force big brother to drink, I will block it for him!"

In comparison, Mo Chuli's performance seemed a little cautious, while Xie Yunxiao looked heartless.

"Why do you need to block the drinking? Don't we have me and the third brother? But I guess we won't be needed. Big brother can drink a lot!"

Nangong Ziqiu stroked his chin, wondering if someone had deliberately toasted Hua Moxuan, but he felt that this possibility was unlikely. After all, those who could come to the princess's mansion for the banquet were carefully selected and would not easily stir up trouble.

"Yes, Brother Xuan can drink a lot! He is now the eldest prince of the Western Liao Kingdom, and no one here should make things difficult for him." Hua Xin mentioned it, and the other three heard an unusual name "Brother Xuan".

Come to think of it, my brother has become my husband, so naturally the way I address him should be changed as well.

Hua Xin raised her lips slightly and said softly, "It's not comfortable to sit all the time. I want to go for a walk in the garden."

As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly stood up, her movements graceful and light.

Seeing this, Chunqin and Xiaqi on the side hurriedly came over, their eyes full of concern.

They supported Hua Xin carefully, fearing that she might get into trouble.

Nangong Ziqiu watched all this quietly, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that something was odd, but couldn't tell what it was for a moment.

"Come on, come on, Nini, I'll go with you." Xie Yunxiao jumped up happily, stood up impatiently, and prepared to accompany Hua Xin to the garden.

However, as soon as he reached the door, he stopped and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Then he turned around and ran back and said, "Nini, don't go. It's raining."

After hearing this, Hua Xin showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She turned her head to look out the window, and sure enough, she saw fine raindrops falling down.

The originally planned walk had to be put on hold.

"Since you want to take a walk, you can just walk in the corridor." Nangong Ziqiu's heart softened when he saw Hua Xin's lonely face. He pointed to the corridor not far away and suggested gently.

Hua Xin looked up at the corridor and nodded in agreement.

"Miss, can I give you a cloak?" Chunqin asked caringly.

At the same time, Xia Qi on the side quickly went to get the cloak.

Nangong Ziqiu silently observed the two maids' meticulous care for Hua Xin, and his speculation became stronger.

"Xinxin, do you want to listen to the piano? Can I go get the piano?" Mo Chuli thought that playing the piano in the corridor should be a unique experience.

"No need to run, I have it in my room, Chunqin, go get my zither."

Hua Xin said and walked outside.

Nangong Ziqiu took the opportunity to grab her wrist. Hua Xin looked up at her, but did not pull his hand away. She just smiled faintly at him.

Nangong Ziqiu was stunned at first, then looked surprised.

"you……"

"Shh, we'll talk later."

Hua Xin knew that she couldn't hide it from Nangong Ziqiu, but she didn't expect that the other party would just pick her up.

"The roads are slippery on rainy days. Even to go to the corridor you still need to walk up the stairs. It will be more convenient if I hold you."

After saying this, regardless of whether Hua Xin agreed or not, Nangong Ziqiu directly carried Hua Xin to the corridor.

"Haruko, get a cushion for your young lady."

After hearing this, Chunqin actually went back to the room to get it. Not only did she get a cushion, but also a soft pillow, so that Hua Xin could sit comfortably.

"You, why are you so careful? I'm fine. I just want to digest my food. How can I digest my food if you hold me in your arms?"

Hua Xin nestled in Nangong Ziqiu's arms, feeling his strong heartbeat, and reached out to scratch his chin.

"Xinxin, stop making trouble."

It had been so long since he had had close contact with Hua Xin that even a small movement made Nangong Ziqiu feel like it was igniting a fire.

"Then put me down. I can walk by myself."

Hua Xin really wanted to say that she was not that weak. Her body was now in great shape. Otherwise, where did she get her internal strength?

But in the eyes of these men, she is the weaker one who needs protection and care.

"We're almost there. The corridor is smooth and you can walk any way you want."

Nangong Ziqiu came to the corridor and carefully put her down.
