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

Now it's your turn to be clueless, isn't it?!

Qianqianlu was excitedly about to continue discussing with His Highness the Crown Prince which skill was more awesome, but was kicked off the bed by His Highness the Crown Prince.

"How dare you! How dare you!"

"Insolence?! Who allowed you lowly commoners to learn these strange and lewd skills?!"

"Outrageous! Utterly audacious!!!"

Qing Tingyu was so angry that he couldn't speak. He drew the sharp sword hanging on the bed, leaped to the ground, and slashed wildly in the darkness.

"Damn it!!!" Before she could even cry out, a sword flashed across her neck.

Bang! Qianqian quickly rolled to the side, barely dodging the attack.

The little tyrant's sword cleaved a low chair in two.

"Your Highness, please calm down!!"

"Your Highness!!"

"Calm down?! Ha! You lowly commoners are not some seductive sluts at all!!"

"She's clearly just a lowly slut, daring to provoke me like this! Truly, truly audacious!"

Panting heavily, Qing Tingyu casually brandished her cold sword in the night, making it impossible to hear what she was arguing about.

Qianqian finally shrank under the bed, muttering disdainfully at this suddenly crazy little tyrant.

"Hmph, I made you happy and satisfied! How come you're turning around and blaming me, even angrier than me?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ I don't understand, I really don't understand!!" She lay flat on the floor under the bed, legs crossed, completely calm.

Exhausted, Qing Tingyu sat on the bed, panting and furious, clutching his forehead in a fit of rage.

"Hmph! You'd better reflect on your actions under this bed!"

"I'm tired, and I'm too lazy to argue with you lowly commoners!"

With a wave of his hand, Qing Tingyu plunged the sword into the pillar.

……

Qianqian slept soundly and comfortably under the bed until noon, when she crawled out from under the bed looking disheveled.

"Haaah!!!"

"Awesome!!!" She stretched, shook her head, shrugged, and twisted her waist.

"General Luo! The hot spring pool in the rear courtyard is ready!"

"You can take a bath first, and then have some lunch!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince orders you to go to Tingzhi Palace to help Princess Zhi prepare her dowry!!!"

The palace maid Yulan, along with the other maids, carried washing supplies and bowed to her.

Qianqianluo paused upon hearing Yulan's words: "Zhi, is Princess Zhi getting married?!"

"General Luo, the Emperor has ordered the wedding of Princess Zhi and Young Master Lu to be brought forward. The wedding will take place soon!"

Yulan skillfully stepped forward, took off Qianqian's outer robe, and handed her a damp silk handkerchief to wipe her face.

"General Luo, His Highness the Crown Prince has taken over the trial of the rebels and is currently in the dungeon with the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to try Minister Lu!"

"Alright! Thank you for reminding me, Miss Yulan!!"

Qianqian lost her hairpins and put on the new black robe prepared by the palace maid.

"I will take my leave now; Miss Yulan, there's no need for you to see me off!"

Qianqian leaped into the air and, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, quickly ran out of Tingyu Palace.

"Oh no!! General Luo!!"

"General Luo! You haven't had lunch yet!" Miss Yulan kept calling out to stop him as she watched the slender figure getting further and further away.

Qianqian was used to taking shortcuts, and with a few quick leaps and bounds, she arrived at Princess Zhi's palace, Tingzhi Hall.

In the Tingzhi Hall;

Crimson silk gauze covered every corner of the Tingzhi Palace;

Large red lanterns adorned with the double happiness symbol, used for weddings, fluttered freely out of the courtyard, dancing and swaying with great flair!

Palace maids and eunuchs came and went, carrying various pearls, jade and precious stones, and crowds gathered in the corridor of Tingzhi Palace.

Qianqianluo quickly spotted a familiar figure in the bustling crowd.

General Lin's adopted daughter, Lin Wanwan, the daughter of the Minister of War, Wan Qingqing, and even the Gui siblings also made an appearance.

But... we haven't found any trace of Young Master Lu!

"Hey! What kind of upbringing produced such a fine young man?! How dare he climb onto the roof of a nobleman's house so casually!!"

"Guards, seize this arrogant and ignorant wretch, sentence him, and throw him into the dungeon!"

The old man, Fu, who was leading the way, pinched his fingers into a delicate gesture and scolded Qianqian, who was standing on the eaves, looking for someone like a wooden chicken.

"Luo'er?! Is that Luo'er?!" Young Master Gui recognized the figure on the roof at a glance.

He excitedly pushed Fu Gonggong aside, strode forward, and opened his arms to welcome Qianqian Luo under the eaves.

"Luo'er, don't be afraid! Come, come into my arms~!"

Gui Ning'an murmured shyly, glancing at her with eyes full of spring-like longing.

"You're disgusting, Gui Ning'an!! Get out, get out, get out!!" Gui Ningzhi couldn't take it anymore and kicked her older brother away.

"Young Master Luo, hahaha, come down quickly! Let's go together to prepare Princess Zhi's dowry!"

"Yes! General Luo, please be careful when you come down!" Lin Wanwan moved gracefully and walked side by side with Gui Ningzhi.

"Hahaha! Yes! Young Master Luo, come down quickly, Qingqing will catch you!!"

Wan Qingqing, the daughter of the Minister of War, also imitated Gui Ning'an's actions, opening her arms and closing her eyes with her childish eyes closed while waiting.

Qianqian looked at the creatures moving around under the eaves, her beautiful daughters like flower buds, and her handsome sons as radiant as the morning sun, and her heart was filled with complicated emotions.

Concealing her sorrow, Qianqianlu put on a radiant smile, leaped down, and walked to the middle of the group.

"May the eldest son be well!"

Greetings, ladies!

"Lord Fu Gong!!!" Necessary etiquette cannot be omitted.

Even if they have a very good relationship!

Ultimately, they could not overcome the constraints imposed by years of feudal ethics and rules.

"Haha~ General Luo, you're too kind!!"

"Come, come, come!! Esteemed guests, don't just stand there! This servant will take you to Princess Zhi!"

Astutely assessing the situation, Fu Gonggong changed the subject and continued to guide them.

The carefree Gui Ningzhi grabbed Qianqianluo and smiled brightly.

"Hehehe~ Young Master Luo, it's been a long time, your appearance has become even more outstanding!"

"Gui Ningzhi! Get out of the way! What kind of behavior is this, a noble lady, pulling and tugging like this?!"

"Hehehe, Luo'er, come with me! Don't hang out with a bunch of women!!"

Gui Ning'an pulled Qian Qianluo behind him, staring at the increasingly stunning Qian Qianluo with starlight in his eyes.

Qianqianluo looked at the three noble ladies in front of her and felt that something was amiss, so she replied, "Thank you for reminding me, Young Master Gui!"

"Luo'er, there's no need for such formalities!"

"Luo'er, I, I...!"

"Young Master Gui, hurry up and walk. Don't let the common people trouble you and cause you any unhappiness!"

Qianqian interrupted Gui Ning'an before he could utter his heartfelt words, and quickly caught up with the noble ladies ahead.

Gui Ning'an stopped talking and followed Luo'er ahead with pitying eyes.

Bright red banners fluttered wildly along the flower-lined corridor;

The palace bells piled up on both sides of the flower corridor rang out mournfully one after another;

The sound of palace bells mingled with the hurried footsteps of several people walking along the flower corridor, creating a sense of anxiety and unease.

Each of them was preoccupied with their own thoughts, silently considering the words they would choose to say when they met Princess Zhi.

After all, Qing Tingzhi was born lucky!

Even if my mother was a courtesan!

Even if she's an idiotic princess who was sent back to the imperial court by her husband's family after her first marriage!

Even though her mother's family was destroyed and her face was disfigured!

But who can blame her for still having the blood of the Qingting royal family flowing through her veins;

The marriage between the disfigured princess who was remarried and the son of a disgraced official who had a limp had long been the biggest laughing stock in the capital.
