The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

The banquet was already more than halfway through, but the situation became increasingly complicated and unpredictable.

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) pursed her lips, her worries growing heavier. The Prince of Dongling's meaningful gaze still occasionally swept across her, making her feel uneasy.

Although Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) was socializing with others, his eyes never left Xing Xuanli for too long, and he was always concerned about her safety.

Princess Bei Lin still held Xing Xuanli's hand, as if she wanted to seek more warmth and comfort from her.

Duanmu Ya stood aside with a gloomy face, and it was unknown what new conspiracy he was planning.

Luo Lingshan would steal glances at Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) from time to time, with no concealment of admiration in her eyes.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly spoke: "Everyone, today's banquet is intended to promote diplomatic relations and discuss peace. However, the atmosphere seems a little tense at the moment. How about adding some fun?"

Everyone agreed, and the atmosphere temporarily eased. But Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

I wonder what kind of storm this banquet will bring next.

Luo Lingshan used her mind to talk to the system: "System, how can I attract Nangong Han's attention?"

She was fully expecting the system to come up with a great idea, but she had no idea that her thoughts had been secretly heard by Xing Xuanli.

Xing Xuanli sneered in her heart and thought to herself: This Luo Lingshan really has evil intentions.

Luo Lingshan continued to say in her heart: "System, please give me some advice quickly. I really want his attention."

At this time, Xing Xuanli remained calm, but her eyes became increasingly cold, and she already had a plan in mind.

Luo Lingshan was still immersed in her own thoughts, anxiously waiting for the system's answer.

System: "How about you do something special to attract Nangong Han's attention."

Luo Lingshan asked anxiously, "What should I do?"

The system was silent for a moment and then said, "For example, show your talents in front of everyone, or find an opportunity to communicate with Nangong Han alone and show your intelligence and gentleness."

Luo Lingshan listened, but she was still unsure: "Will these work? What if they backfire?"

Xing Xuanli listened to all of this silently, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm.

Luo Lingshan frowned, and said anxiously in her heart: "But Nangong Han, he just ignores me. Ever since he woke up five years ago, he has become even colder towards me."

The system responded: "Host, don't be discouraged. Perhaps he hasn't seen your sincerity and efforts yet."

Luo Lingshan bit her lip. "Sincerely? Hard work? Haven't I done enough?"

At this time, Xing Xuanli heard this and secretly pondered the reasons in her heart.

The system said: "Host, you are the heroine of this book, Nangong Han is the hero, and Duanmu Li is Nangong Han's heartbreaking cannon fodder wife. In the end, you and Nangong Han will ascend to heaven and live in love."

Luo Lingshan heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry: "But the current situation is not like what you said. Nangong Han has no interest in me. Instead, he is interested in that Duanmu Li..."

The system comforted him, "Host, don't worry. The plot will always return to normal as long as you follow our plan."

Luo Lingshan took a deep breath: "Is it really possible? Why does it feel so unreliable?"

All these thoughts were heard clearly by Xing Xuanli who was standing by. She sneered in her heart, thinking that there was such a hidden secret.

Xing Xuanli snorted in her heart, "Through the book, the strategist." Just as Xing Xuanli was thinking,

A little girl's voice rang out in his mind: "Master, the world you are in is not the world in the book. She can't hurt you."

Xing Xuanli was slightly startled, then closed her eyes and leaned on Yun Mohan (Nangong Han)'s shoulder, but in fact she entered the space.

She looked at the little girl in the air and said, "You said it's not the world in the book, but why did Luo Lingshan and the system say that the world we are in is the world in the book?"

Xing Xuanli frowned and said, "If this world really exists, why would Luo Lingshan and the others say this?"

The little girl blinked and said, "Master, maybe in Luo Lingshan's eyes, it's just a novel, but this world, this continent, and this country really exist."

Xing Xuanli nodded thoughtfully and said, "If that's the case, then why did she come here? Is it just for the so-called strategy?"

The little girl wrinkled her nose and said, "Master, maybe there is some power behind her, or she herself has a strong desire that drives her into this world."

Xing Xuanli bit her lower lip and said, "No matter what the reason is, her appearance has disrupted the peace. We can't just sit back and watch."

The little girl clenched her fists and said, "Master, I will always be with you."

Xing Xuanli smiled and said, "Well, let's find out the truth together."

At this moment, Luo Lingshan stepped forward and said to Emperor Nanyuan, "I wish to dance for you all."

Emperor Nanyuan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Accurate!"

Luo Lingshan bowed gracefully and then walked to the center of the hall. She stretched out her long sleeves, her figure graceful, like a dancing butterfly.

Everyone's attention was drawn to her, and for a moment, there were exclamations of admiration everywhere.

"This Miss Luo's dance is so graceful!"

"Yes, it's really beautiful."

However, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) still stared at Xing Xuanli, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.

While dancing, Luo Lingshan glanced at Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that he had no reaction to her dance, she couldn't help feeling lost and angry.

She secretly gritted her teeth and tried harder to show off her dancing skills in an attempt to attract Yun Mohan (Nangong Han)'s attention.

Xing Xuanli woke up slowly and laughed out loud when she saw Luo Lingshan dancing.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) asked with concern: "What's wrong, Li'er?"

Xing Xuanli said, "It's nothing. I just thought Miss Luo's dancing was so beautiful that I couldn't help but laugh."

Everyone had different expressions after hearing this. Some thought Xing Xuanli was deliberately mocking her, while others thought she might actually find it funny.

Luo Lingshan's face was extremely ugly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Duanmu Li, you are clearly deliberately humiliating me!"

Xing Xuanli looked innocent: "Why do you say that, Miss Luo? When have I ever humiliated you? Why don't you let me laugh even if I want to?"

Luo Lingshan's face flushed with anger: "You are clearly targeting me on purpose. Why are you the only one who reacted like this out of all the people here?"

Xing Xuanli snorted softly, "Miss Luo, you're being too sensitive. I was just laughing casually, so why did you take it personally?"

At this time, Duanmu Ya interrupted again and said, "Fourth sister, please say less and don't make things worse."

Xing Xuanli glanced at Duanmu Ya and said, "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I say less?"

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) protected Xing Xuanli behind him and said coldly, "Miss Luo, Li'er has always been straightforward. I hope you won't take it to heart."

Luo Lingshan's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful: "The Regent is protecting her so much, can't I say a few words?"

For a moment, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, and everyone was silent, not knowing how to persuade them.

Luo Lingshan bit her lip and said angrily, "Since Fourth Miss Duanmu thinks there's something wrong with my dancing, why not give me a dance?"

Xing Xuanli raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a half-smile: "I never said there was anything wrong with your dancing. Miss Luo, please don't be so aggressive."

Luo Lingshan refused to give in: "Humph, you don't dare to jump because you are guilty!"

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han)'s face darkened: "Miss Luo, don't go too far!"

People around began to whisper and talk.

Duanmu Ya fanned the flames: "Fourth sister, since Miss Luo has said so, show us your skills."

Xing Xuanli chuckled: "Just jump, who's afraid of who?"

After saying that, Xing Xuanli walked gracefully to the center of the hall. As the music started, she began to dance gracefully. Her figure was as light as a swallow, her movements were smooth and graceful, and her every frown and smile were touching, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The man who was watching everything in the attic suddenly had his pupils contracted. He looked at Xing Xuanli in shock and murmured, "She is breaking the formation." The servant beside him was confused and asked, "What did you say, 'breaking the formation', Imperial Master?" But before he finished speaking, the man who was called Imperial Master had disappeared.

Xing Xuanli finished her dance and broke the formation when suddenly a figure descended from the sky. Emperor Nanyuan exclaimed in surprise, "National Master, you've emerged from seclusion." The National Master ignored the Emperor and stared directly at Xing Xuanli, asking, "Who are you, and how do you know how to break the formation?"

Xing Xuanli looked puzzled, then smiled at the Imperial Master and said, "I'm not a nobody, you said I broke the formation. I was just dancing, and I can't cultivate my luck, so how could I possibly break the formation?

He didn't believe Xing Xuanli's words at all. He suddenly stretched out his hand to test whether Xing Xuanli could perform illusion. Xing Xuanli stepped back with a smile on her lips.

"What do you mean, Imperial Master? Are you trying to be rude to this princess?" Xing Xuanli's voice was crisp and a little cold.

The Imperial Master ignored her questioning, his hands kept moving, and a mysterious force surged towards Xing Xuanli.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han)'s face darkened, and he instantly moved in front of Xing Xuanli, saying coldly: "Zi Chen, don't go too far!"

The Imperial Master then stopped and said, "Don't worry, Regent. I just want to confirm something."

Xing Xuanli walked out from behind Yun Mohan and said with a smile, "Master Imperial Master, you are so anxious. Are you afraid that I really know some secret that I shouldn't know?"

The Imperial Master stared at her and said, "You are too mysterious a woman. We must be on guard against you."

Xing Xuanli raised an eyebrow and said, "Mysterious? Master Imperial Master is probably overthinking it."

The Imperial Preceptor asked again, "Who are you?" At this moment, Duanmu Ya suddenly interrupted, "Imperial Preceptor, this is my sister, the fourth young lady of the Duanmu Mansion. Since she was a child, she has been unable to cultivate her luck, let alone break the formation."

The Imperial Master glanced at Duanmu Ya and snorted coldly, "You say it's impossible? How can you understand the strangeness of this?"

Duanmu Ya's face turned pale, and he stammered, "Master, I...what I said is true."

Xing Xuanli chuckled and said, "Sister, why are you so anxious to explain for me? Since the Imperial Master has suspicions, then let him investigate thoroughly."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) held Xing Xuanli's hand and said, "Li'er, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xing Xuanli nodded slightly and gave him a reassuring look.

The Imperial Master paced back and forth, his eyes constantly sizing up Xing Xuanli, the doubts in his heart growing stronger.

Emperor Nanyuan sat on a high seat, watching the development of the situation with an uncertain expression.

The banquet finally ended, and all the ministers and their families stayed in the palace to prepare for tomorrow's hunting. Only Xing Xuanli and Yun Mohan returned home. After returning home, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) couldn't wait to be intimate with Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li).

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) held Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) in his arms all the way and asked her, "Are you going to my room or yours today?"

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) blushed, buried her head in his arms, and said softly: "It's up to you."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of smiles: "Then let's go to my room, okay?"

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) nodded slightly and said no more.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) quickened his pace and carried her towards his room. Along the way, the breeze blew, blowing their hair, as if time had stopped for this moment.

When they arrived at the door, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) gently kicked the door open, carried Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) into the room, and then carefully placed her on the bed.

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) looked up at him, her eyes full of tenderness and affection.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) sat down beside her, held her hand, and said, "Li'er, you are so beautiful."

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) smiled shyly, and the room was filled with a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.

Moonlight streamed into the room through the window lattice, illuminating the intertwined figures of the two. Yun Mohan's eyes burned with fiery desire, while Xing Xuanli's were filled with shyness and anticipation.

Their skin glowed charmingly in the moonlight, and their breathing became increasingly rapid. Yun Mohan gently stroked Xing Xuanli's back, as if protecting the most precious treasure in the world.

Xing Xuanli trembled slightly, her arms tightly wrapped around Yun Mohan's waist, feeling his warmth and strength.

Yun Mohan leaned over and kissed her collarbone, leaving a string of tiny kiss marks. Xing Xuanli couldn't help but moan softly, and the sound was like beautiful music, further stimulating Yun Mohan's inner desire.

Their bodies were tightly embraced, and every touch triggered a tingling sensation like an electric current. The air was filled with the scent of ambiguity and passion. In this moment, they seemed to forget everything in the world, immersed in their love for each other.

The night is still long, and their love grows deeper in this endless lingering.

After making love, Yun Mohan gently embraced Xing Xuanli in his arms. Both of their skins were still covered with beads of sweat from the passion, sparkling charmingly in the moonlight.

Xing Xuanli's face flushed, as charming as a blooming peach blossom. She panted slightly, resting her head on Yun Mohan's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, her heart filled with peace and contentment.

Yun Mohan gently stroked her hair, a happy smile on his face, and said softly: "Li'er, having you in this life is enough."

Xing Xuanli raised her head, looked at him lovingly, and said, "Han, I have nothing else to ask for as long as I can be with you."

They snuggled together quietly, enjoying the tranquility and warmth of the moment. The room was filled with the scent of love, as if time had stopped for them.

After a while, Yun Mohan pulled the quilt over and gently covered them both, fearing that Xing Xuanli would catch a cold. Xing Xuanli felt his thoughtfulness, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her eyes were full of sweetness.

In this gentle night, they gradually fell asleep, and their dreams were still filled with each other's figures and endless love.
