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

The next day.

When Song Xi was half asleep in the evening, Xie Chengqian took her out to visit the capital.

She once thought that this was Xie Chengqian's reason, but in fact there was another arrangement.

Unexpectedly, they really started wandering around aimlessly.

Enjoy tea and fine pastries in the teahouse, then go horseback riding and archery outside the city...

Song Xiwan asked in confusion, "Are you really just here for a stroll?"

Xie Chengqian should be very busy at this time, so how could he have the time to waste time here with her?

"I'll be leaving Shangjing City in a few days. Don't you want to take a good look around? I'm afraid it will take at least a year or two before I can return."

Xie Chengqian's words made her heart tremble slightly, and she finally understood his intention.

This was the first time she had been away for so long since returning home.

Song Xiwan couldn't help but look at him, "What about you?"

Xie Chengqian has been on the battlefield for so long, has he ever missed the prosperity of the capital?

The answer is no.

He said, "The only time was when I just came back. I couldn't wait to rush back to see you. When I heard you went to the pleasure boat, I rushed over. I wanted to help you and propose marriage as a natural progression."

Unexpectedly, Song Xiwan solved the problem alone. At that time, Xie Chengqian realized that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to think about it too much.

Afraid that she would feel resentful.

As it turned out, Xie Chengqian guessed right.

Song Xiwan was surprised, "You were there too?"

"Yes, it's on the nearest pleasure boat."

Song Xiwan thought carefully about what happened at that time, and really didn't find any trace of him. Maybe she blamed him for the ruthless betrayal in her previous life.

Thinking about it now, it’s quite funny.

Song Xiwan said bluntly: "Even if you saved me, I would not agree to your proposal at that time."

At that time, in Song Xiwan's eyes, Xie Chengqian was no different from Zhang Kunling, and might even be worse.

These words made Xie Chengqian's face darken slightly, a hint of pain flashed across his eyes, and he said nothing.

After all, it was because he had let her down in his previous life.

Song Xiwan thought he was being upset again, so she turned her eyes slightly and said coaxingly, "I don't think so now."

Xie Chengqian suddenly pulled her into his arms and murmured in a deep voice, "Why are you so nice?"

How lucky he is.

Song Xiwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, and asked proudly, "You only know now?"

Xie Chengqian gently pushed her away, his deep eyes full of seriousness, and said with a smile in his voice: "Until you know."

Their eyes met, and a charming atmosphere quietly spread.

Song Xiwan clearly saw his face slowly approaching, and their lips were about to touch.

Suddenly, Mu Yun's slightly anxious voice came from outside, "Your Highness, there's an urgent military report from the border eight hundred miles away."

Song Xiwan was so frightened that she quickly pushed Xie Chengqian away.

so close!

She was almost seen by Mu Yun, does she still have any face left?

Veins popped up on Xie Chengqian's forehead and he looked over with a cold gaze, wishing he could freeze Mu Yun to death.

Mu Yun shrank his neck.

In the past, when there was urgent news, the prince had to be informed immediately. Today, I almost forgot that Miss Song was here too.

He added weakly, "It's urgent."

"Go ahead, I can go back by myself."

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Song Xiwan also wanted to go home.

Before leaving, Song Xiwan hoped to spend more time with his parents.

Xie Chengqian had no choice but to send someone to send her back.

From that day on, Song Xiwan stayed at home with her mother, and only heard that the coronation ceremony was held smoothly.

The third princess officially became emperor.

The queen also became the queen mother, and the eldest brother's letter of appointment also came down.

Song Wenyi and Xu were both very frightened, after all, they did not know about this matter in advance.

It was the Lantern Festival that day, and the whole family was there.

Song Wenyi noticed something as soon as he saw Xi Wan and Jun Ling's calm expressions, "You knew about this a long time ago?"

Song Xiwan answered honestly, "I found out a few days ago."

"Why didn't you tell your family? I almost fainted when I received the imperial edict just now."

Song Wenyi patted his chest with lingering fear.

Song Wenyi was overwhelmed with emotions when he discovered that his son's official position had suddenly become higher than his own.

Song Junling said, "As long as the letter of appointment has not come, I dare not take it lightly, lest my father and mother's joy be in vain."

Song Wenyi choked.

I'm not as happy as I thought I would be at this moment.

"Do you know what the position of Left Prime Minister means? Especially at your age, I'm afraid there will be many people secretly watching you in the future."

Now, only half of the people in the court believe that the third princess can become emperor. The rest are of little use and are afraid of the threat from Prince Xuan and dare not make any move.

But once they have the chance, they will definitely spare no effort to pull the person down.

Song Junling nodded with a gloomy face, "Son knows."

Song Wenyi was speechless again, especially since Xi Wan knew her attitude without even expressing any opinion. Besides, the imperial edict had already been issued, so she couldn't disobey it.

"Big brother is smart, and with Dad's guidance, he will definitely rise to prominence in the future. Dad and Mom don't have to worry."

Only then did Song Xiwan speak to comfort her.

Completely suppressed Song Wenyi and Xu's worries.

Forget it, a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother.

Song Xiwan mentioned something else, "Today is the Lantern Festival. I heard there will be a lantern festival. Why don't we go together tonight to join in the fun?"

The expressions of the people in front of him changed one after another.

They haven't celebrated the Lantern Festival for more than ten years because they always think of the nightmare of Xiwan getting lost.

I didn't expect Xiwan to bring it up on her own initiative.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Even though they have found Xiwan, they still hate the thirteen years of separation!

They are not worthy of seeing the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.

Song Xiwan saw the gloomy looks on his father, mother and elder brother's faces, and felt quite uncomfortable.

She forced a smile, her tone full of anticipation, "I haven't even seen the Lantern Festival in the capital yet. I heard it's incredibly lively. Why don't you guys come with me?"

How could Song Wenyi and the others have any room to refuse?

It's rare for Xiwan to act coquettishly towards them.

"it is good."

Xu nodded first.

That night, the Song family took a horse-drawn carriage to the central street where the lantern festival was held. Song Xiwan also asked them to dress up, so that they could leave behind good memories to replace the bad ones.

The lantern festival was more lively than expected. As soon as Song Xiwan got off the carriage, her eyes lit up.

She sighed, "So beautiful."

Several exquisite lanterns were hung high on both sides, even the small boats in the river were shining brightly, and many people were smiling.

Song Wenyi and others were stunned.

They had not participated in the Lantern Festival for a long time. The last time was thirteen years ago. The excitement made them feel dazed.

It’s really lively.

Then came worry. Seeing Xi Wan's eager face, Xu quickly said, "Be careful. There are too many people here. If someone bumps into you, it will be troublesome."

"No, I can protect myself now."

Song Xiwan's little face was full of calmness.

There was no way she was putting herself in danger like this again, especially today.

"Hey, isn't that the prince?"

The eldest brother pointed at the figure in front and asked.
