The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Song Xiwan's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and he responded in a low voice, "Okay."

They said they were husband and wife in their previous life, but in fact they were just two people living under the same roof. This time it should be different.

Xie Chengqian's body trembled slightly, and he distanced himself from the two of them, with disbelief in his deep eyes.

He asked in a hoarse voice, "You agreed?"

Song Xiwan had never seen Xie Chengqian so cautious before. Her heart was touched and she raised the corner of her lips slightly and replied, "When have I ever refused?"

It was obvious that he had been asking questions repeatedly, and she had at best only dodged the question.

Xie Chengqian's eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but kiss her.

Xiwan is so nice.

Song Xiwan widened her eyes in shock. Xie Chengqian was becoming more and more bold. He actually kissed her here!

She pushed him away and warned him in a low voice, "You have no shame, but I still have some dignity."

Xie Chengqian raised his eyebrows slightly, pulled her back to the yard.

Keep kissing her.

Song Xiwan was completely shocked by Xie Chengqian's thick face, and this kiss was a bit more fierce than usual, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones before he would stop.

Later, both of them had a little bit of sanity left, and Song Xiwan was able to go home.

In the carriage, Qiu Zhu asked curiously, "Young lady, why do you seem so hot? What did the prince bring you to the courtyard for?"

Song Xiwan looked at Qiu Zhu silently.

This girl really has no vision!

She pretended to be calm and replied, "Nothing, just asked me to help move some things. Isn't it hot out there?"

Qiu Zhu was extremely anxious. "There are so many servants and guards in the palace. Why did the prince let you do such rough work? You should have asked me to come in."

Song Xiwan: “…”

This made her feel so guilty that she didn't know how to respond. She could only say a few words to get by, and then mentioned that she would buy something on the way back to divert Qiu Zhu's attention.

When Song Xiwan returned to the Song Mansion, he happened to meet his elder brother who was in a hurry to go out.

"Brother, where are we going?"

Song Junling stopped in his tracks when he heard the voice, and when he saw Xi Wan, his eyes lit up and he hurried over.

He looked around before whispering, "Yao Yueju."

Song Xi nodded slowly. He was going to meet the third princess, probably to talk about the agency.

She couldn't stop him, so she could only advise, "The capital has been a hodgepodge of people lately, so keep a low profile and bring a few extra guards."

These are all Xie Chengqian's men, and their martial arts skills are guaranteed.

Song Junling nodded, took two steps, and then turned back to ask, "Actually, the Third Princess also said she wanted to see you. Do you want to go with me?"

Song Xiwan raised an eyebrow in surprise, "See me?"

"Well, after you asked the prince to improve it last time, she has been looking for an opportunity to thank you."

Song Junling relayed the Third Princess's meaning.

Song Xiwan thought for a moment and decided to go to Yaoyueju to take a look. Qi Wei should not assassinate her in Shangjing City unless he didn't want to live.

After listening to Xie Chengqian talk about the Queen's plan today, Song Xiwan really wanted to meet the third princess.

Yaoyueju is not far from the Song Mansion and can be reached in a quarter of an hour.

When Xie Qingyuan knew Song Xiwan had arrived, she ran out to greet him with a beaming face, saying, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? Didn't your eldest brother say you were still recovering from your injuries?"

"I'm almost well now. I heard that the Third Princess wanted to see me, so I came here."

As Song Xiwan answered, she quietly observed the eye contact between her eldest brother and the third princess. There was no sense of strangeness at all as in their previous meetings.

Are we really friends?

But if the third princess becomes the empress, my eldest brother...

Xie Qingyuan smiled, took Song Xiwan's hand and sat aside, placing a wooden box in front of her.

"This is the improved Seven-Hole Exquisite Wooden Box. Take a look."

Song Xiwan had seen the blueprints and knew how to open them. The operation was very smooth and he could feel the subtlety of it.

Surprise flashed in her eyes. "The Third Princess found someone to make it so quickly, and it's very convenient to use."

Xie Qingyuan's eyes were filled with pride. "Thanks to you for finding my fifth brother's improved blueprints and recommending a craftsman, we saved a lot of trouble and were able to produce it so quickly."

All that’s left is mass production to slowly achieve her goal.

Song Xiwan looked at the Third Princess's happy face calmly. She felt that the Third Princess didn't know the Queen's plan yet and wondered what the Third Princess thought.

"This will definitely become a major force for the Third Princess in the future."

"Yes! I will use this to defend the Great Xia Kingdom and prevent the enemy from invading again!"

Xie Qingyuan nodded heavily, her eyes gleaming with brilliance.

Song Junling on the side also had a look of admiration on his face, probably determined to help the third princess accomplish great things.

It felt terrible that she was the only one who knew the secret.

Song Xiwan asked, "Now that the situation in the court is slowly tilting towards the prince and the queen, won't the third princess return to the palace?"

Xie Qingyuan shook his head gravely, "What good will it do if I go back? Even if the marriage is cancelled, there will still be many things in the future that I can't control. It's better to complete this important task here first."

Song Junling agreed, "That's right, with the Third Princess's talent, this matter will be accomplished in no time."

Song Xiwan was speechless.

Brother, you're getting deeper and deeper into trouble!

She still reminded, "The Queen will be worried if she hasn't seen the Third Princess for a long time. If you have time, you might as well go back and see her so that the Queen can be at ease."

The most important thing is to listen to the Queen's strategy, so as not to be pushed onto the throne of emperor.

Xie Qingyuan remained unmoved. "It's okay. I write to my mother every day. She will understand."

Song Xiwan's words were all blocked, and she finally chose to pick up the teacup in front of her and take a sip.

Hey, how should I say it?

Little did she know that Xie Qingyuan had seen every one of her actions, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Mr. Song, there is another mechanism in my courtyard. Can you accompany the shopkeeper to get it?"

"can."

Song Junling agreed without hesitation, but became a little confused when she walked out the door.

Does an institution need two adult men to move it?

No, the third princess must be worried about Manager Qian moving the agency alone. It would be bad if the core secrets were leaked.

This is trust in him!

Song Junling persuaded himself and quickened his pace.

Song Xiwan knew that the Third Princess was deliberately sending her eldest brother away, so she asked bluntly, "Third Princess, do you have something to say to me?"

Xie Qingyuan smiled faintly, "That's what I want to ask. Miss Song seems to be concerned about Mr. Song's presence, so there are some things she can't say?"

Song Xiwan paused while holding the teacup and chuckled in response, "The Third Princess is indeed smart. She can actually see through my thoughts."

Not only that, Xie Qingyuan also asked: "This matter must be related to my mother? Otherwise, Miss Song would not have allowed me to return to the palace."

"Yes."

At this point, Song Xiwan no longer hid it and tested whether Xie Qingyuan wanted to become the empress.

This frightened Xie Qingyuan so much that she choked on her tea, and she rarely showed a look of surprise.

Her voice rose, "What did you just say?"
