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

The former will cause a lot of trouble.

Never mind, it’s just applying medicine. They were married before.

Song Xiwan persuaded herself and said coldly, "Take it off and bring the medicine."

Xie Chengqian: “…”

He was originally teasing her out of anger, but he knew that with her stubborn personality, she would never agree.

How is this different from what she thought?

Song Xiwan glared at him, "Your Highness, do you need me to help you take it off?"

"No."

Xie Chengqian uttered these two words with difficulty and slowly pulled open his inner clothes.

Song Xiwan couldn't bear it and pulled it off.

The study fell into silence.

After adjusting her breathing, Song Xiwan forced herself to turn his body around. Seeing for the first time the criss-crossing scars on his back, she was a little stunned.

People only know that King Xuan is invincible, but they don’t know that he risks his life every time.

If he had not killed her in his previous life, perhaps Song Xiwan would have voluntarily given up the position of princess because of his strong character.

Unfortunately, Xie Chengqian chose the worst way.

I still want to continue to pester you in this life.

Thinking of this, Song Xi deliberately used heavy doses when giving the medicine at night.

Even Xie Chengqian, who was already accustomed to the pain, gasped frequently and muttered, "Xi Wan, be gentle."

Song Xiwan sneered and attacked even harder.

There were strange noises coming from the study.

Mu Yun, who was listening intently not far away, was stunned.

"Uncle Wang, what are the prince and Miss Song doing?"

The elderly Wang Bo coughed lightly, glared at him and scolded him, "Don't ask about the master's affairs. You must respect Miss Song in the future."

He used to really think that the prince would spend his whole life wielding swords and spears!

After a while, Song Xiwan put down the ointment in her hand and said coldly, "I hope Your Highness will keep his promise and not trouble me again for what happened today. Goodbye."

Xie Chengqian looked at her somewhat flustered back, with a slight smile on his lips.

He Xiwan is as cute as ever.

Xie Chengqian put on his inner clothes, walked to a secret compartment and pressed the switch.

A hidden wall appeared, with many portraits of people hanging on it. If Song Xiwan was here, she would find that these were all her with different expressions.

Xie Chengqian picked up one of the paintings and said with a hint of regret, "It's been too long. The painting is still not as beautiful as in my previous life."

Xie Chengqian laughed at himself.

After living a new life, he could only use painting to ease his longing.

He used to be so cowardly that he was afraid that she would know his feelings and deliberately did not let her set foot in the study. Now that he could be honest with her, it was an improvement.

It's just a matter of waiting for her to pass the imperial examination. What's wrong with that?

……

Song Xiwan hurried back home, but her heart still couldn't calm down.

Her mind was filled with Xie Chengqian's extremely eye-catching figure, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.

She must be crazy too!

"Sister, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his eldest brother and screamed in surprise.

It was too late for Song Xiwan to stop it!

A Niang heard the noise and came over in a hurry. She told Chunxiu in a panic, "Go get a doctor quickly. If you have a fever, there's no time to waste."

Song Xiwan quickly said, "Mother! Don't listen to what Big Brother says. I just felt a little hot after running outside. I'm not feeling unwell."

Song Junling looked puzzled, "Why are you running? Is there a dog chasing you?"

"Correct!"

Song Xiwan nodded heavily.

What a big dog!

Only then did Xu breathe a sigh of relief, and then she comforted her, "Don't run away if you see a dog in the future. The more you run, the more it will chase you."

Song Xiwan: “…”

That's really the case.

"By the way, what exactly did the Emperor summon you to the palace for? Why did you return so late?"

Xu was still thinking about this important matter.

Song Xiwan just used this opportunity to shirk the matter of her parents' anxiety to arrange a marriage for her, and briefly explained the emperor's intention.

As for the arranged marriage with Xie Chengqian, who knows what will happen during this period? If Xie Chengqian regrets it and still wants to marry Su Xunyao, it is not impossible.

It just so happens that my parents don’t approve of this marriage, so it’s better not to tell them and make them worry.

Xu frowned, "W-Wouldn't it take several years for you to finish the exam?"

At that time, Xiwan was almost twenty years old.

Song Xiwan raised her eyebrows, "I think a year is enough."

If the provincial, metropolitan and palace examinations were not all next year, she could have gone even faster.

Xu was stunned. It was indeed the confidence in her daughter's eyes that was very noticeable.

It makes people believe that she can really do it.

"Sister, I believe you."

Song Junling stood on her sister's side unconditionally, except for the matter of marrying Prince Xuan.

Xu said, "If you have made up your mind, mother won't force you."

"Well, I think clearly!"

Song Xiwan nodded seriously.

He even couldn't wait to pack his bags and go to Yunhe Academy, for fear of facing Xie Chengqian again.

She did not disturb her family, but only left a letter: My daughter has gone to study hard, don't worry.

Song Junling looked bewildered and aggrieved, "Why is my sister leaving just after I got back?"

I originally wanted to wait until he finished his vacation before going to Yunhe Academy with my sister.

Song Wenyi held the letter paper, his eyes calm.

"It seems we were worried for nothing. Xiwan's heart has never been on love."

Xu agreed with this, but she felt a little uncomfortable. "But this will waste her best years."

"Madam, as long as Xiwan is doing what he likes, it's not a waste of time."

Does being married mean you are superior to others?

Just follow your heart.

Xu was stunned and said helplessly: "I am narrow-minded."

Song Junling rolled his eyes, unwilling to let go of this opportunity, "Since my father and mother said so, then don't worry about my marriage in the future."

"No, you have to start a family."

Song Wenyi refused with a stern face.

Song Junling looked puzzled, "Dad, that's not what you just said."

"You are a man, and my son, Song Wenyi. The responsibility of inheriting the family line falls on your shoulders."

Song Wenyi's tone was completely unquestionable, which made Song Junling's eyes widen in surprise.

How can we treat them differently?!

"Auntie."

Song Junling looked at Xu for help.

Xu sighed softly, "Your father isn't targeting you. He's just worried that Xiwan will be left without support after we're gone. Besides, you've been at home for nearly twenty years and have enjoyed far more than Xiwan has."

Song Junling was speechless, with some ripples in his heart.

If it's to protect my sister, then that's what I should do.

A few days later, Song Xiwan arrived safely at Yunhe Academy.

There were no accidents this time, but they were stopped as soon as they arrived at the academy.

"Before entering the academy, you must have proof of academic performance. Even if Miss Song is recommended by the Emperor, she still needs to pass this test."

The person in front of her was arrogant, and Su Xunyao was standing next to her, pretending to speak up for her, "Miss Song has never been to a college, so can this be waived?"
