A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Xin Moyan and Hua Buyu were so focused on showing the children the lanterns and lake view that they didn't notice the eyes of everyone on the scene were on them.

Xin Moling, however, was the first to spot the group, especially when he saw Yuan Huailie sitting at the same table as the second young lady of the Qin family. His eyes darkened instantly, and he stared coldly at Lou Shenghan, saying, "Is this why you insisted on coming aboard with us? To watch the show?"

Lou Shenghan's smile grew brighter and brighter as he hurriedly explained in a gentle voice, "General, you are wronged. From the moment I arrived until now, I have been with you all. How could I have known beforehand that those people were here?"

"Hmph! Since those are your accomplices, then let them go. This general wishes to take my sister to enjoy the moonlight, so I will not keep Lou Xiang any longer."

"Tsk~ What do you mean by 'accomplices'? General, that's a really harsh thing to say! Besides, since I'm traveling with you all, I should naturally sit with you. How could I abandon you to go find someone I know?"

Xin Moyan, holding the child, approached the two men and asked curiously, "Brother, why are you chatting? What are you talking about?"

Lou Shenghan said to her with a grin, "Hehe~ Princess, my son has been bothering you for a long time tonight. My arms are really sore from carrying Lou Xiaobao. Why don't you find a place to sit down and rest for a while?"

Even though Lou Shenghan said that, she did feel her arms were sore, but Xiao Bao refused to get down, and she couldn't bear to see him cry.

"Brother, didn't you have Cailian make a reservation? Let's go sit down!"

Just then, Cailian and two servants came over, bowed to them, and said, "Young master, young lady, the tea and snacks have been prepared over there."

"Yan'er, let's go!"

Lou Shenghan noticed her exhaustion and felt a little embarrassed, so he pinched his son's cheek and coaxed him softly, "Little Lou, be good, Daddy will hug you, okay?"

"No, no, Mother is here!"

"..."

He felt utterly helpless. Did his son no longer love him?

Seeing Lou Shenghan's sullen expression, Xin Moyan found it amusing and continued, "It's just a few steps, it's alright, Xiaobao, let's go get some snacks!"

"Mmm, Mommy~"

"It's my older sister~"

"It's Mommy~"

"Ah~"

They turned around and sat down at the opposite bow of the ship, facing Yuan Huailie and his group across the wide passageway in the middle.

However, Xin Moyan and Hua Buyu did not notice the people opposite them, while Lou Shenghan was only concerned about his son and had no time to pay attention to them for the time being. Xin Moling appeared calm and collected on the surface, but in reality, she was secretly paying attention to everything.

"Strange! Third Brother, Fifth Brother, look, why is Lou Shenghan with Cousin A-Ling and the others? And Lou Xiaobao is being held in Xin Moyan's arms, they look overly intimate."

Yuan Huaiyu rested his chin on his hand, his face full of disbelief.

"If that's the case, why don't we go and see for ourselves?"

After Yuan Huaize finished speaking, he blinked, closed his folding fan, and got up to walk over.

"Hey~ Fifth Brother!"

Before he could even call out, he saw Yuan Huaize getting closer and closer to Xin Moyan and the others. Yuan Huaiyu frowned, scratched his head, and turned to Yuan Huailie to ask, "Third Brother, why is Fifth Brother acting so strangely lately? Could it be that what Fifth Brother said the other day, he really fell in love with Xin Moyan at first sight?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Huailie's already furrowed brows seemed to deepen, his expression became solemn, and he remained silent.

Seeing his expression, Qin Wu looked at the two figures in the distance. One was dressed in fiery red, and his words and laughter showed generosity and boldness. The other was dressed in blue, and his face was covered by the child in his arms. Although his appearance could not be seen, he could vaguely feel that he had an extraordinary temperament. Which of these two was Princess Xin Moyan of Danhua, whose appearance and temperament had changed drastically?

On the other side, the four of them sat down together, and Xin Moyan slowly coaxed Lou Xiaobao to sit next to her, reaching out to rub her sore shoulders.

"Mommy, let's have this one!"

He pointed to a pastry shaped like a little rabbit in front of him, his eyes sparkling as if he was about to drool, which made the others laugh.

Xin Moling's expression softened considerably. It wasn't that he disliked Lou Xiaobao, but he didn't want Yan'er to be called "mother" before marriage, as it would damage her reputation. In addition, he was worried that his sister would be too tired from holding the child.

"Little Lou, you're so cute!"

Hua Buyu loves three- or four-year-old toddlers the most; they're not too big or too small, it's the most fun age.

"Brother, look at those colorful lanterns in the sky! I never imagined the lantern maker was so skillful. They have all sorts of shapes and patterns, and so many colors!"

Xin Moling smiled faintly and continued, "These lanterns aren't very exquisite yet. Wait until the Qixi Festival in two months. When the whole city is filled with colorful lanterns, the night is as bright as day, and all sorts of strange and wonderful lanterns are everywhere in the streets and alleys, that will be truly beautiful!"

Xin Moyan became interested upon hearing this, and smiled at him with a particularly bright and lovely expression, saying softly, "Then, brother, when the Qixi Festival comes around, will you take me out to play again?"

"Okay! As long as Yan'er is happy, brother will always take Yan'er out to play."

"Me too! I want to come out and play with Yan Yan too!"

Hua Buyu hurriedly raised her hand, as if afraid of being abandoned by the siblings.

"Baby wants to play too!"

Lou Xiaobao raised his little hand in a very serious manner, his mouth bulging as he chewed on a small pastry.

"Lou Xiang, Brother Ling, Princess."

Yuan Huaize walked gracefully up to the group, his smile warm and kind, and nodded politely to them.

"King Ze?"

Xin Moyan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by his sudden appearance.

Hua Buyu paused, subtly concealing the probing look in her eyes. How interesting, she hadn't met these princes yet!

"Is something the Prince of Ze in need?"

Xin Moling spoke calmly, looking up at Yuan Huaize without offering him a seat.

"The night is beautiful and the scenery is lovely. My brothers and I, along with a few friends, came here to enjoy the lanterns. We never expected to run into Brother Ling and your group, so I came over to say hello."

Upon hearing his words, the four of them looked in the direction Yuan Huaize had come from, where several people were staring intently at them.

"Yan Yan, I heard you broke off an engagement with some king a few days ago. Where is that king? Is it this king?"

Hua Buyu pointed at Yuan Huaize in front of her, her eyes wide with curiosity as she asked Xin Moyan.

His lips twitched. In the entire capital, who didn't know him as the gentle, considerate, and handsome Fifth Prince Yuan Huaize? How could anyone mistake him for his third brother!

Although he was thinking this in his heart, he still maintained a very polite and courteous smile on his face and explained to Hua Buyu in a soft voice: "This young lady, the one who broke off the engagement with the princess is my third brother Yuan Huailie, and my name is Yuan Huaize."

"Oh~ I think it shouldn't be you. May I ask, young master, where is that blind prince who broke off the engagement with my Yan Yan?"

"Cough cough cough~~~"

Yuan Huaize was suddenly stunned by these vulgar and outrageous words. He quickly covered up his embarrassment with a dry cough. Where did this woman come from, who was so 'bold and unrestrained'!
