A quick journey through the stars

The next day

Outside the capital, Wei Wuxian and the others were taken back to the space before they could even say goodbye.

In space

When Wen Ruohan and others saw Wei Wuxian and others coming back, they hurriedly asked them if they had obtained the three jade pendants. Wei Wuxian and others shook their heads to indicate that they had not, and then recounted their experiences in the mortal world in detail.

Lan Qiren learned that Lan Xichen and Lingxi's fake marriage was a helpless move to save everyone, but he still disagreed: "How can a marriage be treated as a joke?"

Lan Wangji: "Sister-in-law, the destined one"

Upon hearing this, Lan Qiren said: ...

Qing Hengjun: "Your Excellency, I am worried about Xichen being left alone in the mortal world. I wonder if we can help him."

The protector's voice rang out: "No, but if you are worried, I can show you Lan Xichen's condition. Oh, I forgot to tell you, during your time in this space, the time of the cultivation world is forbidden."

Qing Hengjun/Lan Qiren/Lan Wangji: "Thank you very much."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw the image of Lan Xichen from the mortal world appear on the water curtain.

Purple Palace

Lingxi, feeling a little tired after a busy day, saw Lan Xichen sitting at the table and said, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Go to bed early next time and don't wait for me."

Lan Xichen's ears felt slightly hot: "It's okay, Your Highness, have you been busy lately?"

Lingxi nodded: "Yes, in a month some foreign countries outside the border will come to pay tribute. After this busy period, we will be free of busyness."

Lan Xichen handed Lingxi her token: "Your Highness, this item is returned to its rightful owner."

Lingxi: "Take it. If you feel the palace is boring, you can go in and out of the palace at any time with it."

Lan Xichen: “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Lingxi nodded and said: "If you need anything or are missing anything, just tell me and I will have someone prepare it for you. If the food is not to your taste, you can ask them to remake it."

Lan Xichen said gently: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Lingxi crossed her arms and said proudly: "Who cares about you? I'm just worried that you don't have enough food and clothing, and you'll lose face for me." After that, she went to wash up.

Time passed while Lingxi was busy, and it was the day for foreign countries to pay tribute.

Dinner

Lan Xichen: "Your Highness, I feel stuffy in the palace and want to get some fresh air."

Lingxi: "You need someone to follow you."

Lan Xichen: “No need.”

two quarters of an hour later

Lingxi: "Yuanbao, hasn't the prince consort come back yet?"

Yuanbao: "Yes, but I need you to find someone to take a look."

Lingxi: "No need, I'll go."

On the other side, Lan Xichen was stopped by two gorgeously dressed men.

The two people were Wen Tao and Liang Junzhuo. Liang Junzhuo said sarcastically: "Hey, isn't this the Prince Consort? Why are you here alone?"

Wen Tao chimed in: "He's just a pretty boy who doesn't please His Highness."

Lan Xichen didn't want to pay any attention to the two of them, and didn't want to make a big deal out of it for fear of causing trouble for Lingxi.

But Wen Tao and Liang Jun Zhuo were relentless in stopping Lan Xichen. Liang Jun Zhuo burped, "Hurry! Do you know who I am? I'm the Prince of Qi." Then he pointed at Wen Tao and said, "He's the Prince of Qian, the Emperor's cousin. You're just some pretty boy who popped up out of nowhere."

Wen Tao: "That's right, my second cousin (Lingxi) doesn't care about you at all, otherwise why doesn't she let you call her by her name instead of a honorific? Now, bow to me, or I'll make you pay."

Lingxi's voice came from the side: "Let my consort bow to you, are you worthy?"

Lingxi's voice made the slightly drunk Wen Tao and Liang Junzhuo shudder, and their minds sobered up instantly. Liang Junzhuo and the others hurriedly saluted Lingxi: "Greetings, Your Highness, may Your Highness be well."

Lingxi didn't say excuse me, and the two of them didn't dare to stand up, maintaining the posture of saluting. Lingxi walked over to Lan Xichen and said, "Lan Xichen, remember that you are my consort. In the entire Ming Dynasty, the only ones who are qualified to have you salute are the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and me.

If anyone dares to provoke you in the future, you will have to fight back fiercely. Don't be afraid of causing trouble. No one in this world dares to cause trouble to me. As long as you are in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I will support you even if you want to break the sky."

He paused and glanced at Liang Junzhuo and the other man: "Didn't you see the prince consort?"

Liang Junzhuo and the other man turned to Lan Xichen while maintaining their greetings: "Greetings to the Prince Consort, long greetings to the Prince Consort."

Lan Xichen ignored them. Lingxi said, "From now on, you don't have to call me Your Highness. Just call me Lingxi."

Lan Xichen smiled: "Okay, Lingxi"
