After watching Xia Taoyuan leave, Long Yanqingyun followed Chu Xingluo back to the study.

"Your Highness, how is it? Is Miss Wei okay?" Qingyun approached Prince Jing with a smile.

Chu Xingluo ignored him. Long Yan said, "It looks good. It made His Highness laugh today."

"Oh, really? Tell me about it." Qingyun's ears perked up.

Before Long Yan could speak, Chu Xingluo said, "Miss Wei is fine."

Long Yan also said: "I think it's good too. Don't worry about whether she is really Miss Wei or not. She is now known as Miss Wei, and Prime Minister Wei must approve of it. So, should Your Highness tell the Emperor to marry Miss Wei as soon as possible after the engagement?"

Qingyun also echoed: "Yes, Your Highness, if you get married soon and have a little prince soon, our palace will be lively again."

Chu Xingluo's eyes flickered slightly, and he only said, "Prepare the betrothal gifts first."

When Qingyun Longyan heard this, he was instantly overjoyed. His Highness had agreed to marry Miss Wei as soon as possible. However, they wanted to personally handle the betrothal gifts for the future princess, as they were not confident in leaving it to their subordinates.

After the two of them went out, Chu Xingluo looked at the four jars of peach blossom wine on the desk, his eyes softened, and thinking of Xia Taoyuan's smiling face, his heart also softened.

Xia Taoyuan returned to the prime minister's residence and lay on the bed. She couldn't sleep at all as her mind was full of Chu Xingluo's handsome face.

If she stayed here, this handsome man would soon be her fiancé, and they would become husband and wife in the future. But if she left here one day, everything here would no longer belong to her, and everything would be like a dream bubble.

Thinking of this, Xia Taoyuan's heart ached. She wanted to go home, but she also wanted to hold on to everything in front of her. It was not because she was greedy, but because everything was too beautiful. In the end, she decided to enjoy the present and not think too much. If one day she left uncontrollably, her trip would not be in vain.

Besides, a man as good as Chu Xingluo is hard to come by. Now that fate has pushed him towards me, there is no reason not to seize him.

She tossed and turned all afternoon but couldn't fall asleep. Her heart seemed to be filled with joy, nervousness, longing and worry, and she couldn't calm down. She had no choice but to get up, drink some tea, and then go downstairs.

Listening to the birds singing and smelling the flowers in the yard, Xia Taoyuan's heart gradually calmed down. She wandered aimlessly and walked all the way to the garden.

As soon as she entered the garden, she heard laughter from afar. Xia Taoyuan took a look and saw several people in Xiyun Pavilion. She walked closer and saw that one of them was Wei Qing.

Next to Wei Qing was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, looking down at the handkerchief in her hand. There were also two maids beside her.

Wei Qing turned around and saw Xia Taoyuan and was very happy. "Sister!" she said and rushed towards Xia Taoyuan.

Xia Taoyuan smiled slightly: "You are here too." She noticed that the woman looked up at her. Seeing the woman's face clearly, Xia Taoyuan took a deep breath. She was so beautiful and charming. These eight words came to her mind.

"Mom, my sister is here too." Wei Qing was very happy, and the woman nodded to Xia Taoyuan.

Xia Taoyuan was extremely surprised. Zhao was a concubine, but she was so different from what she had imagined. If she hadn't been told that she was a concubine, she would have thought she was a noble lady. She had such a good temperament. Although she looked indifferent, she gave people the feeling of a noble lady.

Xia Taoyuan secretly admired Wei Mingcheng's vision. If she were a man, she would also be moved. Of course, she also had doubts. What kind of reason would make such a beauty willing to be a concubine? Judging from her temperament, she should be a lady from a noble family, definitely not from a small family. Xia Taoyuan really couldn't figure it out.

Wei Qing pestered Xia Taoyuan and told her some little girl's private talk, Xia Taoyuan responded with a smile. Soon, the wind started to blow, Zhao wanted to go back to her room, and Xia Taoyuan also went back.
