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

As the melodious sounds of string and wind instruments and flowing water rise, various colorful silks and satins flutter gently, singers sing soft and slow tunes with clear, tinkling sounds, and dancers in colorful costumes sway gracefully...

Suddenly, their gazes, which had been locked together, were interrupted by the dancing crowd in the hall. Xin Moyan snapped back to her senses and quickly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes concealing a hint of something unreadable.

"Yan Yan, what's wrong?"

"I am fine."

The emperor's generous reward sparked a new wave of discussion about Xin Moyan among the crowd. Several people gathered around and began whispering amongst themselves, creating quite a lively scene.

However, Xin Moling frowned, his face was solemn and he remained silent, which made Hua Buyu beside him feel quite strange. The dishes had already been served, so why didn't he care about Yan Yan eating?

"Hey! Xin Moling, what's wrong?"

She leaned down and turned her face upwards, essentially placing her upper body in front of Xin Moling, staring at his chin as she spoke, but without touching him at all.

From this angle, it looked exactly like a young couple flirting, and the focus of everyone's discussion gradually shifted to the two of them.

"fine."

"You look like something's wrong. What's wrong? Yan Yan was rewarded so much by the Emperor, aren't you happy?"

He looked down at her in his arms and saw her gossipy expression. He said coldly, "My Xin family is large and powerful. I don't care about these few rewards."

"Then what do you care about, Yan Yan? But Yan Yan wasn't bullied today, was she?"

He poked Hua Buyu's head with two fingers and pushed it to the side, then said, "Hua Buyu, stay away from me after today."

"I'm trying to ward off unwanted suitors right now! Why do you keep telling me to stay away from you? Could it be... that you secretly have feelings for me? Is that why you can't control your feelings and your heart races whenever you see me, which is why you want me to stay away from you?"

"..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Hua Buyu advised again: "I know that my beautiful face and charming appearance are indeed attractive, but please don't fall in love with me. I am just a legend."

"..."

"What? Heartbroken? Hahaha~ What goes around comes around. You broke that little princess's heart, but you never thought you'd be in this situation yourself! Hahaha~~~"

"..."

Seeing her laughing so heartily, Xin Moling really didn't want to say another word. But didn't Yan'er say that this woman was interested in him? Could it be that she was playing hard to get?

Thinking of this, Xin Moling made up her mind that after today, she would never communicate with this person again.

On the other side, seeing that her brother was having a great time chatting with Bu Yu, Xin Moyan was also bored, so she simply started eating. She figured she could go home after she finished eating!

"Princess~"

She turned around and saw Lou Shenghan with a seductive smile on his face, occasionally winking at her, which instantly gave her goosebumps.

"Prime Minister Lou, what's wrong with you now?"

"I never expected His Majesty to value you so much, even giving you those two platinum fox pelts. I asked him for them for a long time last year, but he wouldn't give me even one!"

Xin Moyan raised an eyebrow and calmly said, "So, is the Prime Minister asking me for that fox pelt?"

"No! But it would be nice if you were willing to give it to me!"

She smirked. This prime minister was so stingy. He didn't even mention buying it with money; he just offered to give it to her. She wasn't going to give it to him!

"Your Excellency, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Lou Shenghan's eyes narrowed slightly, his ill intent growing stronger. He stared at her for a moment before smiling and saying, "Princess, now that the engagement is annulled, you are single. Do you have someone you like?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Princess, what are you saying? You're already eighteen, if you keep delaying this..."

"You're getting old, huh? That's none of your business."

Xin Moyan's eyebrows hadn't relaxed since then. She looked at the man beside her with a wary expression, wondering what he wanted to do.

Lou Shenghan's lips twitched. He hadn't expected her to be so direct. He smiled ingratiatingly at her and hurriedly explained, "Jun... Yan Yan, you've misunderstood me, I..."

"Wait! What did you call me?"

Xin Moyan reached out and interrupted him. Had she misheard him?

"Yan Yan!"

He confidently raised his chin, his smile brighter than ever before. He was sure he could hit the right spot by shouting at that woman!

She reached up and scratched her head. How could the prime minister's brain have suddenly gone mad after only a few days?

Seeing the regretful expression on her face, Lou Shenghan instantly understood the meaning in her eyes and quickly said, "Yan Yan, my mind is perfectly normal."

"Prime Minister Lou, I don't recall us being that close, are we?"

"Yan Yan, we weren't familiar with each other before, but we've gotten to know each other better these days!"

"Don't call me that. Just say what you want to say."

I don't know why, but Lou Shenghan's shout made me feel like vomiting.

Lou Shenghan quickly turned around to face her. Seeing her frowning, he tried his best to maintain a kind and gentle smile.

"Yan Yan, I've thought about this for a long time. You're both single, so why don't we get married and settle down?"

"..."

Her brows furrowed even more, temporarily ignoring the mention of Yan Yan, but this woman was unmarried... and the man was unmarried?

"Prime Minister, should you summon a royal physician to examine your brain?"

"I'm serious. From the moment I saw you at the Lantern Festival that night, I fell in love with you at first sight. Yan Yan, let's marry!"

He pretended to be affectionate, but secretly he had ulterior motives. His main goal was to find a mother for his son. Maybe if Xiao Bao had a mother, he would love him more. Xiao Bao only liked these two women, and after weighing the options, Xin Moyan was the more normal one.

Besides, she's so interesting, and seeing that quite a few people are interested in her today, he has to join in too, it'll be more fun, hahaha~~

"Yan Yan, just say yes! Besides, if you marry me, you won't have to have children. You'll get a son from Lou Xiaobao for free. Isn't that great?"

Seeing that she remained silent, Lou Shenghan drew out his words and moved closer to her.

"Yan Yan~"

"Little Yan Yan~"

“YUE~”

She gagged, then looked up and saw Lou Shenghan's hypocritical and insane face, which made her feel nauseous again.

"YUE～YUE～～"

The unusual noise quickly caught Hua Buyu's attention, and she jumped to her side and gently patted her back.

"Yan Yan! Yan Yan, what's wrong?"

"Did they eat something bad?"

Xin Moling also stepped forward and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Yan'er?"

After a long while, she finally stopped feeling nauseous, pointed at the man opposite her, and looked at him with disgust in her eyes.

"Me? I didn't do anything, Xiao Yan Yan, don't wrong me!"

"What did you say?"

Who are you calling?

As expected, Lou Shenghan is about to face two violent storms...
