Baby, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you to the heavens and the seas!

"Really?!"

"When did my loyal servant acquire someone he loves? How come I had no idea?!"

His Highness the Crown Prince wore a crimson, floor-length python robe, and his long black hair was neatly and dignifiedly tied up with a plain sandalwood hairpin.

The trailing, gold-embroidered robe dragged reluctantly and aggrievedly along the steps, hissing like a snake's tongue.

Seeing the Crown Prince's gloomy face, no one dared to say anything more and offend this nobleman from the palace.

"You agree, right?! Young Master Luo?!" Qing Tingyu walked steadily to the center of the dance floor and took Mo Fanfan from her hands.

"Ah Yu, waaaah~ Fanfan wants to go home!" Mo Fanfan cried her heart out on the Crown Prince's broad shoulders!

"Good girl! Don't cry! I'm taking Fanfan home!"

The little tyrant held Mo Fanfan, who was crying and coughing, and patted her head to comfort her as he steadily left Baiyutai amidst the kneeling salutations of the crowd.

"Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Respectfully seeing off His Highness the Crown Prince!!!"

"Well! Miss Fanfan has gone home! Then! Where is my home?!" Young Master Luo stared at the departing figures of the two, somewhat speechless.

The reflected light shone on the Crown Prince's magnificent robes and long black hair, softly blurring his departing figure and making Qianqianluo, standing alone in the darkness, appear even more lonely.

"Young Master Luo, Chen Qing is drunk. Let's take Chen Qing home!"

Yang Chenqing was so drunk that his whole body reeked of alcohol that he tumbled down the steps and landed right next to Qianqian.

General Yang, drunk and with a flushed face, lay down beside Qianqian, childishly tugging at her trousers and robes, grinning foolishly.

"Young Master Yang!!" Gui Ning'an was so frightened when she saw Yang Chenqing rolling down the steps that she rushed down in one step.

"Oh dear, General Yang is drunk!"

"Yes!! Let's send it back to your residence quickly!!" Seeing this, the others also chimed in with their advice.

"Let go of me! I just want Young Master Luo to take me away!" Yang Chenqing pushed Gui Ning'an aside and pounced on Qianqian Luo.

"Hey! Watch out!"

With a helpless expression, Qianqian picked up Yang Chenqing and, as if carrying a sack of potatoes, tossed him over her shoulder.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the incredibly strong Young Master Luo: "This, this, this is too amazing!"

"Young Master Luo, are you alright?!" Gui Ning'an was startled when he saw this and stepped forward to ask him how he was doing.

"It's nothing, it's very minor!"

*Smack! Smack!* Yang Chenqing struggled slightly, feeling uncomfortable, but Qianqianluo slapped his bottom a few times: "Stop fooling around~!"

"Hahaha! Young Master Luo! Hurry up and take General Yang home! Don't let the Yang family worry!"

Lin Litian stood up with a flick of his sleeve, intending to send Qianqianluo and Yang Chenqing away.

"Yes, then this lowly commoner will go first!"

"Greetings, General Lin! Greetings, esteemed guests!" After returning the greetings, Young Master Luo made a move to leave.

"Young Master Luo, wait for me! My brother and I will see you off!"

Gui Ningzhi, carrying the palace lantern prepared by the servants, skipped down the steps and excitedly rushed to Qianqian's side.

“That’s right! Young Master Luo, Zhi’er and I will see you off!” Gui Ning’an patted his little sister’s head, which was finally dry, and said with a hopeful expression.

After receiving General Lin's signal, Lin Wanwan also walked up to Young Master Luo in a high-pitched voice: "Wanwan will see you off too!"

"Oh dear! The General's Mansion and my residence, as well as the residence of the eldest young master, are on the same route!"

"Come, come! I'll take Young Master Luo and Young Master Yang back to the manor!"

Pang Er also scurried off the stage, enthusiastically shoving Qianqian Luo.

General Lin sat firmly on the high platform, staring at Qianqianluo, who was surrounded by the crowd, with a gloomy aura.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone went home and went to their own mothers!

Outside the Lin family mansion, where treasure boxes and jewels were lavishly displayed, the once impenetrable procession of carriages and horses slowly receded into the shadows.

The major powerful families in the capital waved their banners, attempting to stir up trouble in the capital through mutual probing and alliances.

In the Yang family carriage that had retreated early, Qianqian patted her sore arms and kicked Yang Chenqing, who was clinging to her feet, with her boot.

"Waaaaah~ Young Master Luo~ Please don't ignore me!!"

"Chen Qingxin loves you! Chen Qingzhen is truly in love with you!"

Fueled by alcohol, the reserved yet passionate Yang Chenqing poured out all his pent-up love.

He licked Young Master Luo's foot with his handsome face and wouldn't let go: "Young Master Luo, after the Spring Hunt, go with Chen Qing to guard the northern border!"

General Yang suddenly snapped out of his daze, his eyes gleaming with a foolish smile as he stared at Qianqianluo: "Shall I take you away from the capital?!"

Qianqian caught the unconscious Yang Chenqing and patted the unfortunate boy on the back: "Alright, alright! We'll go to the Northern Desert together, and leave Shangjing together!"

"Okay! Let's go to the northern desert together and leave the capital together!" Yang Chenqing hummed repeatedly before finally falling asleep.

General Yang and his personal guards had been waiting outside the gate for a long time. They only breathed a sigh of relief after they saw the familiar flag on their carriage!

"General Yang, Young Master Yang is drunk! This humble servant will escort Young Master Yang back to his residence!"

After Qianqian helped Yang Chenqing back to General Yang, she returned the gesture with her hands clasped in gratitude.

"Haha~ Thank you, Young Master Luo!"

"My son is no good! I've troubled you a lot!" General Yang returned the greeting with a hearty laugh.

"Come, come! Take the young master back to the manor, and vacate the Badge Pavilion in the manor for Young Master Luo!"

General Yang, full of energy, gave orders to his servants and then kindly led the way for Qianqian, wanting her to stay at his residence that night!

"No! I have to rush back to the East Palace!" Qianqian Luo waved her hand and backed away repeatedly, indicating: I'm declining for now!

"Oh dear! It's alright! It's already past midnight, and the Xuanwu Gate has long been closed. His Highness the Crown Prince will understand!"

"Young Master Luo must be tired too, why don't you stay at the Yang residence tonight! Hahaha~!!"

General Yang leaped behind her, his face saying: "Don't be so polite, coming back here is like coming back to your parents' home."

Qianqianluo really wanted to escape the little tyrant for one night!

After all, His Highness the Crown Prince was in a bad mood, and tonight he had been indirectly tricked by someone and had also offended Miss Fanfan.

Thinking of this, Qianqian grasped General Yang's large, calloused hand and spoke with surprising politeness.

"I recognized the old general immediately! Then I looked closer, and lo and behold! This is my living father whom I haven't even acknowledged yet!"

Qianqian scratched her head sheepishly and added, "General Yang came under the cover of night, making me think the God of War had returned to the world!!"

"Hahaha!!! Hahaha!" General Yang laughed heartily upon hearing Young Master Luo's nonsensical praise.

"Excellent! Young Master Luo's literary talent is truly outstanding; I am delighted!"

General Yang did not hurt the child's pride, which was as thick as a city wall!

Instead, praise them more to thicken their skin and encourage them not to be polite with you!
