Before the housewarming ceremony began, Yan Qing ran over to Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue with a big smile.

"Where did you go?" Su Lingyue asked, turning her head to the side.

Yan Qing leaned close to Xiao Yu and whispered to Su Lingyue, "I'm seeing a friend off on a long trip."

Seeing Yan Qing's head in front of his chest, so close to Su Lingyue, Xiao Yu raised his hand and quietly turned Yan Qing's head back to its normal position.

Su Lingyue glanced at Xiao Yu, gently curved the corners of her mouth, and did not ask any further questions.

"The auspicious time has come!"

As the steward spoke, firecrackers exploded with a "crackling" sound. The servants and maids covered their ears, looking at the pile of firecrackers with joy on their faces.

Su Lingyue was a little afraid of firecrackers, so she covered her ears and buried her head in Xiao Yu's chest to watch the lit firecrackers.

Seeing her looking both eager and afraid, Xiao Yu smiled slightly and reached out to pull her head into his arms.

After the firecrackers were set off, all the maids and servants present clasped their hands and said in unison, "Congratulations to the Prince and Princess on their housewarming!"

Xiao Yu gave a soft "hmm" and lowered his eyes to ask Su Lingyue beside him, "They said auspicious words, Yue'er, what do you think is appropriate to reward them with?"

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Since we're going to reward people, let's give them silver. Everyone in the manor will have their monthly allowance doubled this month, so they can buy whatever they like. How does that sound?"

"it is good."

Xiao Yu nodded to Butler Wu.

Butler Wu smiled and cupped his hands in thanks: "Yes, Your Highness and Your Highness."

After saying that, he turned around and loudly announced to everyone present, "The Prince and Princess will double the monthly allowance for everyone in the household."

The maids and servants were naturally both surprised and delighted, bowing repeatedly.

"Thank you, Your Highness and Your Highness!"

"May Your Highness and Your Highness be blessed!"

……

Su Lingyue took Xiao Yu's large hand, and together they stepped into Muyun Pavilion. The light pink hem of her skirt and the dark blue hem of her dress gently brushed against each other with each step.

Although she had lived in Furong Pavilion for a long time and was reluctant to leave, Su Lingyue knew that her feelings for Muyunxuan were different.

At first, she barged in with a feeling of attraction that she herself was unaware of, and that's how their relationship began.

From now on, this will be the place where she and Xiao Yu will spend the rest of their lives together.

*

After their afternoon nap, Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue were about to go to Furong Pavilion to organize their makeup box, clothes, and books and move them to Muyun Pavilion when they ran into Yan Qing before they even left the courtyard.

"Your Highness, I was just looking for you." He said, handing the invitation to Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue took the invitation, her slender, fair fingers flipping through it, curiously looking at the words on it.

Xiao Yu had a general idea of ​​what was going on, but still asked, "Which household sent the invitation?"

After Su Lingyue finished reading the invitation, she handed it to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu took it and saw that it was indeed from the old lady of the Duke of Ying's mansion.

“The old lady is holding a flower-viewing banquet in three days, but…” Su Lingyue chuckled as she took the invitation from Xiao Yu’s hand, looked at Xiao Yu’s expressionless face, and winked at him, “Only the female relatives have been invited. The prince will be staying at the mansion by himself that day.”

Xiao Yu looked at the invitation in Su Lingyue's hand, his face expressionless.

This was originally his plan, but when he actually saw the invitation, Xiao Yu felt no joy at the smooth execution of the plan, only a strange sense of unease.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Xiao Yu looked unhappy, Su Lingyue abandoned her intention to tease him, blinked her clear eyes, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Surely Xiao Yu wouldn't be angry just because I went to the flower viewing party and didn't accompany him!

Yan Qing knew Xiao Yu's plan and understood why Xiao Yu was unhappy.

How could the prince be happy to push the princess away with his own hands? But he couldn't tell the princess anything, so he had to bear everything alone.

Thinking about this made Yan Qing feel particularly sad.

He concealed the heartache in his eyes and said with a smile, "Your Highness, don't worry! I'll stay here with the Prince. Don't fret."

As she spoke, Yan Qing subtly nudged Xiao Yu's arm, reminding him to control his emotions.

Xiao Yu seemed oblivious, not even glancing at Yan Qing, but simply raised his hand and pinched Su Lingyue's snowy cheek.

Su Lingyue's clear eyes were full of doubt as she stared at him without blinking.

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions within them, and said in a calm voice, "Look at you, so happy without your husband by your side?"

Seeing that Xiao Yu was in the mood to tease her again, Su Lingyue's doubts completely disappeared. She grasped the hand that was pinching her cheek and chuckled, "They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. We're together all the time. If we're apart for a day now, will Your Highness like me a little more?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had returned to normal, Yan Qing finally relaxed, silently retreated ten steps away, and looked up at the sky with Cai Die.

He was happy if the prince could spend his final days as happily as he always had.

Xiao Yu raised his eyes, looked at the radiant woman in front of him, and clicked his tongue softly, "How much more do you want me to love you? How about I take my heart out and give it to you?"

"I don't want to." Su Lingyue raised her hand, her slender fingers pressing against Xiao Yu's lips to stop him from continuing his nonsense. His warm breath brushed against her fingers like a feather.

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu and said softly and coquettishly, "I want to hear Your Highness say some sweet words, say that you like me and love me very much."

As far as she could remember, Xiao Yu had never said these words to her.

Xiao Yu opened his mouth but didn't speak. He just bit his little fingertip, his dark eyes staring at Su Lingyue. He showed no intention of letting go, his gaze deep and unfathomable, causing Su Lingyue's cheeks to involuntarily flush red.

After biting for a while, Xiao Yu finally opened his mouth and released her fingers, saying gently, "Let's go, let's pack our things first."

Unromantic.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was actually thinking about packing up the things that Furong Pavilion hadn't moved out yet.

Su Lingyue was a little disappointed, but when she saw Xiao Yu's upturned lips, she smiled too.

*

The two men, along with their maids and servants, tidied up the remaining items in Furong Pavilion, and by then it was already dark.

After the two had dinner and digested their food, the medicinal bath was ready in the private room.

Xiao Yu waved his still-bandaged finger in front of Su Lingyue and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Yue'er."

After saying that, he walked towards the cubicle.

Su Lingyue followed closely behind Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu walked to the clothes rack, opened his arms, and looked at Su Lingyue with a playful expression, a faint smile on his lips.

These past two days, Xiao Yu has been avoiding doing anything himself whenever possible due to his injured finger.

The wound was indeed deep, and it would take at least ten days to heal. Su Lingyue had to help with undressing, bathing, and wiping his back every day.

He was her husband, and Su Lingyue enjoyed doing these things.

However… when Su Lingyue untied the ties of Xiao Yu’s inner clothes, she remembered that before Xiao Yu was unable to move, every time she wiped his body, although he was covered with a quilt, he always kept his eyes closed.

Su Lingyue silently looked away.

After Xiao Yu entered the bathtub, she picked up the clothes that had fallen on the ground and hung them on the clothes rack.

Su Lingyue was a little confused. Had Xiao Yu's temperament changed again? Now he was actually letting her wipe his body, and he seemed to be enjoying it very much.

Yesterday too.
