Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Lingyan looked at this extraordinary talent and asked in an unsteady voice, "Did you consult those courtesans?"

Xiao Muyao smiled leisurely and replied, "Yes, they say this feeling is the most attractive to women. I even learned this walking posture and feeling. Does Yan'er like it?"

Lingyan was absolutely thrilled.

How could she not be happy and moved that a prince would actually lower himself to learn such brothel etiquette for her sake?

Besides, with his looks, physique, and charisma, how could she not like him?

Adding to everything that happened last night, he really did his best to make her happy through his actions!

Her heart instantly softened completely.

A smile, more radiant than spring flowers, bloomed on her lips as she nodded emphatically, saying, "I like it."

The two were so engrossed in their game that they only stopped when Yunmeng reported that several shopkeepers were requesting an audience.

The shopkeepers looked at the plans that the princess had given them, but there were many things they didn't understand. Although they recognized all the characters, they just couldn't read them.

That's why I made this trip to inquire.

After Lingyan properly resolved the issues with the shopkeepers, she wondered how these shops were progressing, and whether they were facing any difficulties.

So she had to say to Xiao Muyao, "Ayao, I need to go to the shop. We'll continue when we get back tonight."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Muyao smiled warmly, like the spring sunshine, his eyes filled with understanding and affection for her.

He said softly, "Alright, go ahead. You have important business to attend to. I also have some important matters to attend to. See you tonight."

Ling Yan nodded with a smile.

She then gently kissed his cheek, like morning dew nourishing flower petals, filled with endless tenderness, before turning and leaving.

She first went to the restaurant, because it needed major renovations, but found that there weren't any major problems.

So she sent people to check out the remaining shops.

Upon receiving the reports, she learned that all the shops were progressing smoothly and without any delays or errors, which made her very satisfied.

In fact, she had said beforehand that if there was anything she didn't understand, she could go to the Prince's Mansion to ask, and that the opening should not be delayed.

It seems that everyone listened and did a good job.

He would ask questions if he didn't understand something, instead of pretending to know or trying to fool her.

very good!

Ling Yan left the restaurant with a smile on her face and light steps.

Just as they stepped out the door and onto the street, they bumped into Lu Yanqing and several Shadow Envoys.

Ling Yan raised an eyebrow.

Was this a deliberate attempt to bump into each other?

She didn't believe it was a coincidence.

Lu Yanqing bowed solemnly to Lingyan and said, "Greetings, Princess Consort Rui."

The officials behind him followed closely behind, bowing in unison.

Lingyan looked at the street, which had just been deserted.

Since they appeared, the crowd has receded like the tide, and now there is no one left except for them.

No, are the Shadow Division really that scary?

Lingyan gestured for the group to dispense with formalities.

He then walked past them without any expression.

After she left, the people behind Lu Yanqing excitedly exclaimed, "Envoy, Princess Rui is so beautiful!"

"Yeah! My legs were so weak just now!"

"Prince Rui is so fortunate!"

Lu Yanqing remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he thought: Of course she's beautiful! Look at whose woman she is, Prince Rui isn't the only one who's lucky.

Lingyan had just reached a fork in the road when she suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her. She was then gently pulled along and instantly found herself deep in a narrow and secluded alley.

Lingyan knew who it was without even thinking.

Lu Yanqing pressed her tightly against the wall, the two of them so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

Ling Yan chuckled lightly, "I knew you would come looking for me."

Lu Yanqing held her waist tightly with one hand and wrapped her in his arms with the other.

He looked somewhat aggrieved, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Yanyan hasn't come to see me in a long time. Have you been having so much fun with those other two that you've forgotten all about me?"

Seeing his state, Lingyan raised her hand to pat his head and smiled, "How could I! You know I've been busy with the shop opening lately. You're so likable, how could I forget you?"

Lu Yanqing was clearly pleased and satisfied with her answer.

Her smile gradually brightened, and then she pressed her advantage, saying, "Do you have time tomorrow? Shall we go for a trip outside the city? Just the two of us, okay?"

Looking into his expectant eyes, Lingyan thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

Seeing her nod, Lu Yanqing beamed with joy.

Then, in an unusually light tone, he said, "I'll be waiting for you first thing tomorrow morning."

Lingyan readily agreed, "Okay."

Lu Yanqing was filled with reluctance at this moment. He longed to kiss her, but he held back.

I'm afraid he'll get out of control.

I could only suppress my own thoughts and send her back.

Of course, it was sent secretly.

Only after seeing that she had safely returned to Prince Rui's residence did he turn and leave.

At the same time, I secretly look forward to tomorrow.

All things flow and change, but the night is eternal.

As the last rays of the setting sun gradually faded, night fell.

Another night of fluttering red curtains.

Lingyan finally stopped just as dawn broke.

Then, seeing that Xiao Muyao still wanted to continue, she quickly stopped him, saying, "I'm going to go sightseeing outside the city with Lu Yanqing today. Let me save my energy."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Muyao stopped.

Then he said with concern, "Then you rest, I'll help you bathe and clean yourself, and then I'll wake you up at Chenshi (7-9 AM), okay?"

Lingyan said weakly, "It's possible, but don't you have to go to court at Chenshi (7-9 AM)?"

Xiao Muyao thought about it and agreed.

He had just forgotten about attending court.

Then he continued, "Then I'll have Yun Mengchen wake you up at 7:00 AM."

Ling Yan nodded with her eyes closed.

Who would understand? She was putting in all the effort all night long; she was completely exhausted.

Xiao Muyao felt very sorry for her. After helping her bathe, he carefully covered her with a blanket so that she could catch up on her sleep.

He himself sat on the edge of the bed, gazing tenderly and deeply at Lingyan's sleeping face.

Xiao Muyao quietly stayed by her side, his heart filled with unprecedented satisfaction and peace.

He didn't leave until it was time for court, moving very quietly and reluctantly.
