When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Qin Xingyue smiled and planned to marry Xia Xueyao immediately after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

After the lively gathering, everyone had dinner at the Princess's residence and then returned home.

Walking on the way back to Luanfeng Courtyard, the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the ground. Xu Xinyue might have slept for too long, so even though she had been laughing and having fun all day, she did not show any sign of fatigue or sleepiness.

She was like a little bird, happily wandering around every corner of the princess's mansion.

Every time he discovered a different view from the past, he would excitedly talk to Qin Yuechuan behind him:

"I remember there were no plants here before."

"There weren't such strong laurel trees here before."

"Also, there have never been any lotus flowers in this pond before..."

Xu Xinyue leaned on the railing and looked at the hibiscus pond under the sunset.

Sparkling spots of sunset light float on the water's surface, green waves rise and fall, and colorful hibiscus petals, some rich and gorgeous, some light, unfold layer by layer, showing their utmost beauty.

Sniffing the lingering lotus fragrance brought by the breeze, Xu Xianyue couldn't help but say, "It's really beautiful."

Qin Yuechuan walked to her side, but his eyes did not follow her to look at the lotus pond. He only stared at Xu Xianyue's jade-like profile, and whispered, "Indeed, it's really beautiful."

Xu Xinyue stared at the scenery in front of her: "When I was asleep, I heard Qin Yuechuan talking about the scenery of each plantation. Although I couldn't respond, I wanted to see it. I really wanted to see it."

Xu Xinyue laughed again and said, "But no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't seem to control my body at all. It's like someone tells me every day how delicious today's meal is, but I can't eat a single bite. I'm so distressed."

A warm embrace slowly came to Xu Xianyue's shoulders. Qin Yuechuan hugged her from behind, lowered his head and whispered softly in her ear: "It was me who seduced Yueyue. I hope Yueyue will wake up soon."

Xu Xianyue pretended to be angry and said, "Qin Yuechuan is so cunning. He only says half of what he wants to say. Every time I want to know the next part, he always says, 'Wait until you wake up and take a look for yourself.' It makes my heart itch."

"Yeah, I did it on purpose."

"You seem quite proud of it."

"The results seem to be quite good..."

"Humph……"

The two were silent for a while. Just as Xu Xinyue stood up and prepared to go back to the courtyard, her ears were enveloped by the warm breath again. Qin Yuechuan wrapped his arms around her tighter, and his voice was choked with sobs:

"Thank you Yueyue for waking up..."

"I am very happy. In the past few months, there has never been a day that I am happier than today."

Xu Xinyue touched his cheek with her backhand: "I have attachments to the world, how can I leave Daddy and Qin Yuechuan waiting alone for so long."

Feeling the slight wetness on her fingertips, Xu Xianyue wanted to turn around and say something, but Qin Yuechuan held her tightly in his arms, unable to move: "For the last time, really... Yueyue..."

Xu Xinyue turned her face slightly and said, "Humph, this won't happen again."

"Um……"

As the sun completely set and the sky gradually darkened, Xu Xinyue suddenly murmured:

"Qin Yuechuan, I want to take a bath, you accompany me... together..."

As he finished his thought, Xu Xinyue's voice became smaller and smaller.

The red cheeks hidden under the gloomy sky became even hotter.

Qin Yuechuan raised his lips: "Okay."

The two of them began to breathe hot air, just like the steaming warm pool water that was soaking them.

The cloth covering Qin Yuechuan's eyes had already been removed by Xu Xinyue and placed on a rock platform nearby.

The crystal dew hanging on Qin Yuechuan's long eyelashes looks like tiny transparent pearls.

Xu Xinyue looked at the pale eyes that were looking down at her and felt sad in her heart.

Xu Xinyue placed her hands on his broad shoulders, propped herself up and kissed his eyes gently, over and over again.

"I will cure Qin Yuechuan as soon as possible, and Qin Yuechuan must listen to me."

"Well... I listen..."

Xu Xinyue's warm lips gradually moved down, just as he had taught her back then, to the center of his eyebrows, nose bone, jaw, and Adam's apple, softly and densely, until finally covering his thin lips again.

Qin Yuechuan couldn't suppress his emotions. He locked the tenderness in front of him in his arms, lightly closed his eyelids, and wiped it with tenderness over and over again.

Xu Xinyue's five fingers gradually slid down onto his left arm. Although she did not look down at it carefully, she could clearly feel that it was covered with crisscrossed and rugged scars, which seemed to be much more than before.

After their lips parted for a while, Xu Xinyue muttered in a vague voice, "...it seems that Qin Yuechuan has done many things that he is not obedient to..."

Qin Yuechuan admitted his mistake in a gentle voice: "It's my fault... I made Yueyue worry..."

She said: "Then you..."

Qin Yuechuan hugged her tighter, as if only in this way could he be sure of the truth before his eyes: "But I, I have no other choice, I really... There is no other choice... Yueyue..."

"Nothing is more painful to me than watching Yueyue sleeping there quietly... I really... I really have no choice..."

Xu Xinyue wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest: "It's me who doesn't..."

Qin Yuechuan interrupted hastily: "No. It's not Yueyue's fault."

"I am fragile."

Xu Xinyue knew that he couldn't see, but she still looked into his eyes: "I will never do that again, I swear."

"No need for oaths, I believe in Yueyue..."

Qin Yuechuan didn't want Xu Xinyue to say any more, so he turned his lips and tongue over again, forcefully occupying all the territory inside Xu Xinyue's lips.

The heat waves rolled, the breaths were long, and the warm and ambiguous voices filled every corner of the bathroom.

*

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet arrived as scheduled.

When Xu Xinyue and Qin Yuechuan appeared together at the banquet hall in the main hall, it caused quite a stir.

Surprise and joy

It’s not that I’m simply happy about Xu Xinyue’s waking up.

Most court officials speculated that the current Prince Regent was ruthless and unreasonable, probably because the princess had been sleeping for a long time and was upset. Now that the princess had woken up and the cold sword had been sheathed, he would probably be more lenient...

Soon, His Majesty arrived in person and all the court officials knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him.

Qin Lingruo accepted the worship with an expressionless face. He glanced at the ministers below and suddenly focused his eyes on two standing figures.

She remembered that it seemed that it was only to save Yueyue and her brother from not bowing to the emperor...

Qin Lingruo's eyes suddenly shone brightly as she stared at Xu Xinyue. She blinked several times before making sure that she was not dazzled today.

Qin Lingruo stood up straight and said solemnly, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I am very happy. I have decided to grant amnesty to the whole world!"

Qin Xingyue's eyelids twitched. It was just a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and he wondered why Ling'er was so crazy about issuing a "general amnesty".

The attendant stood up and followed her gaze, and immediately understood.

Qin Xingyue held his forehead helplessly.

Returning to his seat, Xu Xinyue said, "Ling'er seems to be in a good mood today."

Qin Yuechuan smiled and replied, "Yes."

Halfway through the banquet, Qin Lingruo left the main seat on the pretext of being drunk.

Soon, a palace maid walked to Xu Xinyue's side and whispered, "Dear Princess, Prince Regent, His Majesty wants to see you in the side hall."

Xu Xinyue nodded and went to the side hall with Qin Yuechuan.

As soon as he entered the palace, Qin Lingruo rushed towards Xu Xianyue: "Yueyue~"

"You finally woke up~"

Xu Xinyue hugged her with her backhand and responded with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, there are only us here, no one else, call me Ling'er!"

"Okay, Ling'er."

Qin Lingruo looked Xu Xinyue up and down carefully, "Is she okay? Is she completely healed?"

"Well, it's all right. There won't be any serious problems in the future."

Qin Lingruo was overjoyed when she heard this: "That's great. You don't know that since I ascended the throne, I have endless books to read and endless policy papers to memorize. Every time I want to see you, my brother will give me a task to memorize, and I can only go to the princess's mansion after I complete it..."

"Woo woo woo...you're finally awake..."

Qin Yuechuan said, "Even if Yueyue wakes up, Your Majesty must not relax and still follow the arrangements of Master Yu and the Emperor's brother."

Qin Lingruo muttered softly: "I know, I just said so..."

Without caring about Qin Yuechuan, he pulled Xu Xinyue to sit down. Qin Yuechuan shook his head helplessly, found a seat and sat next to Xu Xinyue.

"Does Yueyue remember Concubine Yun?"

Xu Xinyue replied: "Yes, I remember."

"My father's health was damaged by Qin Liexing, and she also accomplices him. She smeared the drug on his body and was intimate with him, causing him to decline rapidly. But Qin Liexing never told her that the drug hurt others as well as himself. It was obvious that he never intended to let her live after the incident."

"Now she has tasted the bitter fruit. What she is going through right now is the suffering that my father went through in the past. I always feel that killing her with a single knife is too easy for her..."

Xu Xinyue nodded: "It is fairest to inflict all the evil upon oneself."

Xu Xinyue continued, "I saw the eldest princess at the banquet just now. Logically speaking, shouldn't she be married to her husband now?"

Qin Lingruo took a sip of tea and said, "I saw that she was reluctant, so I stepped in to help her withdraw."

Xu Xianyue was slightly surprised: "Huh?"

Qin Lingruo said: "I know why she wanted to choose a prince consort at that time. I do not agree with it, but as a princess, I can understand it. I was also distressed when I knew that I might be married off... She made mistakes, but it was not a big mistake. The turmoil in the Derong Mansion these days also made her lose face."

"Fortunately, my brother Yaoyao was not affected at all, and Yaoyao did not object to my decision, so I cancelled the engagement for Qin Yuling."

"If she can be more content, I can worry less."

Xu Xinyue chuckled: "These words don't sound like what Ling'er would say."

"After all, I am the monarch now. I am not helping her. I just think that since Qin Lingruo is a princess, she should bear her due responsibilities and not be limited to such trivial matters."

Qin Lingruo held her chin with both hands and said, "It has only been a short time since I took the throne, and the court officials have written to me asking me to choose a husband and leave the heir to the throne of Beixuan. But it is not that simple..."

Qin Lingruo glanced at Xu Xinyue and muttered, "I can't solve this matter in a short time. For now, it's safer to leave the matter of succession to you and my brother..."

Xu Xinyue lowered her voice and curled her lips mysteriously: "It may not depend on us. This matter will be resolved. Ling'er, please be patient."

Qin Lingruo was unable to detect his intention for a moment, and just casually replied: "I hope it's as Yueyue said."

Xu Xinyue thought about this matter and decided that it would be better for Yaoyao and the others to tell Qin Lingruo in person, so she refrained from saying anything more.

Qin Lingruo kept talking to Xu Xinyue for a long time before reluctantly letting her go and returning to the main hall.
