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

Song Xiwan looked at Doctor Liu's humble appearance and didn't dare to say another harsh word to him.

I'm going to cry again later.

She carefully read the prescription again, trying to find some areas for improvement. "Add more tranquilizers. The Empress won't be sleeping well these past few days."

"Makes sense!"

Doctor Liu nodded in sudden realization, he was really reminded by her.

From the moment she started, the Queen Mother was obviously overly worried, and she probably didn't want to leave the Third Princess tonight.

There is only one soft couch in the side hall, so it is naturally difficult to sleep well. It is necessary to calm the mind in advance.

Song Xiwan glanced at his eldest brother's anxious look and said, "Take my eldest brother to see the Third Princess. The palace is short of manpower right now, and he can help a little."

Doctor Liu was stunned. He wanted the son of the Minister of Dali Temple to help him?

Song Junling naturally had no objection and even recommended himself, "I have read the Classic of Pharmacology thoroughly and will definitely not cause trouble for the imperial physician."

"Uh... ok."

How could Doctor Liu refuse?

This is Miss Song’s brother and Lord Song’s son.

However, he was indeed too busy.

Song Junling followed the imperial physician to the side hall. Song Xiwan shook his head and sighed, "Brother is clearly very worried, yet he keeps pretending not to care."

Xie Chengqian didn't care and glanced at her sideways, "The palace still needs to be tidied up. Shall I take you back to rest first?"

Song Xiwan asked, "Don't you need my help?"

Xie Chengqian had learned from his previous experience, so he didn't refuse directly. Instead, he asked hesitantly, "Have you ever learned how to repair a palace?"

Song Xiwan choked.

Her original intention was to help interrogate the surviving enemy soldiers, but when she thought that Xie Chengqian's men were best at this, she chose to go back and rest.

After a busy day, I am really tired.

When the two walked out of Kunning Palace, the sky was clearing.

Song Xiwan took a deep breath. He no longer felt as depressed as before, but instead felt a little freer.

Finally, revenge was achieved.

After this day, the palace was renovated and countless corpses were cleared. With ministers such as my father guarding the court, nothing went wrong.

The eldest brother has been helping Doctor Liu in the palace, but in fact he is taking care of the third princess. His thoughts are obvious.

Song Xiwan also heard that Prime Minister Su had "recovered from his illness", so he went to the palace to apologize and request punishment, but Xie Chengqian did not punish him.

It is an indisputable fact that Su Yulin was a loyal minister of his generation.

Su Xunyao has been missing since he escaped from the military camp.

Song Xiwan felt that with Su Xunyao's determination, he was probably hiding somewhere, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

But it doesn't matter, she never thought she would lose to Su Xunyao.

The most important thing now is to have a good new year!

Song Xiwan was busy arranging the entire Song Mansion, and had people prepare high-quality pigs, cattle and sheep, and personally supervised the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Girl, the prince is here!"

Qiu Zhu hurried into the kitchen, speaking breathlessly.

Song Xiwan didn't even raise her eyelids. "It's not his first time here. Why are you so surprised? Let him wait in the front hall."

Although given Xie Chengqian's personality, he would most likely come to the kitchen to find her.

Qiu Zhu recovered her breath before continuing, "Your Highness, it seems you're here to propose marriage."

"Clang-"

As the words fell, the cooks dropped their iron spoons and knives.

Everyone was shocked.

Song Xiwan also cast a surprised look, and her first reaction was, "Did you hear wrong? He didn't mention this to me."

Qiu Zhu answered seriously, "I heard clearly that the prince brought a list of betrothal gifts to ask the eldest lady if it was enough. There are still some assets that have not been sorted out."

I don’t know what was written on the list, but it was very long. The eldest lady fell silent after reading it.

Song Xiwan didn't bother to urge the chefs and immediately went to the front hall.

When she arrived, she saw that A'niang had a very strange expression on her face. She was relieved to see her and hurriedly pulled her into the front hall.

Xu said, "Xiwan, you've come just in time. Mother still needs to ask for your opinion on this matter. Although you said last time that you were willing to marry the prince, this is a big deal after all, and there's no rush."

Song Xiwan nodded, thinking that what A'niang said made sense, and then glanced at Xie Chengqian.

"Why did the prince suddenly come to propose marriage?"

"No marriage proposal."

Unexpectedly, Xie Chengqian denied it outright.

Now it was Song Xiwan's turn to feel embarrassed. Did Qiu Zhu really hear it wrong? Did this lead her into trouble?

"No, then why did mother say that just now?"

Xu took the betrothal gift list from the side and put it in her hand. "The prince is indeed only asking about the betrothal gift, but this is really..."

Even Xu, who came from a noble family, had never seen such a betrothal gift. It was equivalent to giving the entire Prince Xuan's Mansion to Xi Wan.

It wasn't that Mrs. Xu thought Xiwan wasn't worthy of such a betrothal gift, but it would make the dowry they prepared for Xiwan seem inadequate.

How can this give Xiwan confidence?

Xu felt that there was no need to rush the marriage, and it would not be too late to wait until they worked hard to earn some money to add to Xiwan's dowry.

Song Xiwan unfolded the betrothal gift list, which was even more expensive than hers, and her eyes widened.

She asked in disbelief, "So many?"

"not much."

Xie Chengqian's voice, always cold and deep, was filled with determination. He paused and continued, "And all the assets I acquire in the future will belong to you."

Song Xiwan blinked blankly, and when she met Xie Chengqian's deep eyes, she suddenly understood his intention.

He is saying: So you can't leave me, otherwise I will have nothing.

Her heart was beating wildly for no apparent reason.

Xu didn't understand this behavior at all and tried to persuade him kindly, "Your Highness, please reconsider this. This is too ostentatious."

The situation is still in chaos after the war. If this causes dissatisfaction, I can’t imagine how Xi Wan will be criticized.

Xie Chengqian's eyes were determined, and he shook his head lightly, saying, "Madam Song, I understand what you are worried about. This is also the confidence I gave Xi Wan, and no one will criticize her at all."

He wouldn't allow that to happen.

"This……"

Xu was really happy that the prince thought so highly of Xi Wan. She couldn't make up her mind for a moment and could only look at Xi Wan.

Song Xiwan put away the betrothal gift list and put it in A Niang's hands. "Just do as the prince wishes. I trust him."

The last sentence made Xu feel sour, as Xiwan also thought highly of the prince.

"Then I'll do as you say."

However, when the master and Junling come back tonight, she still has to discuss the dowry issue with them in secret, and she must not leave out too much.

Xu was preoccupied and didn't continue chatting with them, leaving the prince to Xi Wan to deal with.

Song Xiwan looked at her mother's receding figure and sighed softly, "Why did you come here without saying a word? And you even brought a list of betrothal gifts with you? My mother was really scared."

She was also shocked!

Xie Chengqian walked up to her ear and whispered, "I don't want to eat alone in the palace tonight. Uncle Wang has prepared a list of betrothal gifts, so I brought it here."

Song Xiwan's heart was deeply touched.

She knew that Xie Chengqian would be lonely, and had planned to send someone to invite him.
