As soon as the notice was posted, people came forward to check it.

After reading it, the people in front immediately turned to look at the back and shouted loudly to the crowd, "Good news! Good news! Linglong Pavilion has reopened on the first day of the ninth lunar month! Linglong Pavilion has reopened on the first day of the ninth lunar month!"

Those squeezing forward from behind were overjoyed upon hearing the news. "Really? Linglong Pavilion is really opening on the first day of September?"

The person in front replied, "It's true, it's true, Linglong Pavilion reopened for business on the first day of the ninth lunar month."

Instantly, the people behind stopped pushing forward and turned around to shout, "Linglong Pavilion is reopening on September 1st! Everyone, please come and support us!"

This time, Linglong Pavilion did not distribute flyers for promotion. The waiter came out, posted the opening hours notice, and then went back.

However, the people were overjoyed and wept upon hearing the news, spreading the word throughout the streets and alleys.

For a time, the reopening date of Linglong Pavilion became a hot topic in Yandu City. From eighty-year-old seniors to toddlers who had just learned to walk, everyone knew that Linglong Pavilion was reopening.

Even Qin Wanyou was unaware of how much the people supported the reopening of Linglong Pavilion.

When Murong Xiao and Qin Wanyou returned to the Prince's Mansion from the palace, it was nearly midnight, and many people had already turned off their lights and gone to bed.

The next morning, Qin Wanyou was woken up. She had planned to sleep in for the last day and resume her early morning training routine starting the next day.

When they went outside, they found that it was Gu Siyuan, the screaming rooster, who had come to the palace to crow early in the morning.

Because Qin Wanyou's courtyard was right next to Murong Xiao's, Murong Xiao and Gu Siyuan noticed her as soon as she went out.

Gu Siyuan immediately ran over and said happily, "Auntie, Linglong Pavilion will open for business on the first day of September. I came to let you know so we can go shopping at Linglong Pavilion together."

Qin Wanyou's face remained expressionless, but she was somewhat irritated. "Isn't the first day of the ninth lunar month tomorrow? Why are you here today?"

Gu Siyuan didn't notice Qin Wanyou's odd behavior. He scratched the back of his head and replied awkwardly, "I just misread it. I thought today was the first day of the ninth month, but I didn't expect this month to be a long month. Today is actually the thirtieth of the eighth month."

Murong Xiao noticed Qin Wanyou's unusual mood, so he turned to Gu Siyuan and said, "I told you not to study and practice calligraphy, and you can't even tell the difference between your monthly and non-monthly periods, yet you ran off here first thing in the morning. Go, have a competition with Mo Nan, let me see how your training has been going lately?"

After saying that, he gave Mo Nan a look.

Then Mo Nan pulled Gu Siyuan into the yard and started gesturing.

The two were sparring not far away when Murong Xiao apologized to Qin Wanyou, "I'm sorry for disturbing the princess. I apologize on behalf of that boy."

Qin Wanyou slowly drank the water Shuangling handed her, "It's alright, Your Highness, there's no need to apologize."

Murong Xiao then asked, "Is the Princess Consort having trouble sleeping at night, or is she not used to life in the Prince's residence?"

Qin Wanyou gave Shuangling a look.

Shuangling immediately dismissed the servants and then stood guard at the entrance of the courtyard.

Qin Wanyou looked at Murong Xiao earnestly and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember the agreement we made before our marriage?"

Murong Xiao paused for a moment, then nodded.

Qin Wanyou turned her gaze to the two people sparring in front of her, "Then please don't forget to fulfill the agreement we agreed on, Your Highness."

Murong Xiao lowered his eyelids and gave a self-deprecating smile. "I know my body can't satisfy you. Don't worry, I know. I will keep our promise."

Because Murong Xiao spoke a little softly in the previous sentence, Qin Wanyou didn't hear it clearly and replied, "It's good that you know."

After realizing what Murong Xiao had just said, her face flushed with shame and indignation, and she glared at Murong Xiao with her beautiful eyes, "You..."

She caught her breath and said, "You know you can't do it!"

He slammed the teacup down on the table and quickly went back to his room.

When Murong Xiao heard Qin Wanyou's words, he first widened his eyes in disbelief that she would say such a thing; however, watching Qin Wanyou leave in a huff and puff, he couldn't help but smile. How could the princess be so cute?

On second thought, it wasn't appropriate to keep calling her "Princess" all the time; doing so for too long would make people think the two weren't familiar with each other.

Murong Xiao murmured Qin Wanyou's name. Qin Wanyou? Calling her by her name directly sounded unfamiliar; Wanyou? Youyou? Wanwan?

Wanwan?

Hmm~, from now on, let's call her Wanwan.

Just then, Gu Siyuan's screams came from the other side, "Ah~, ah! Stop, stop, I give up! Stop hitting me."

Murong Xiao walked over with a smug look on his face, leaving behind the words, "Mo Nan, have another sparring session with Young Master Gu; then take him to the courtyard in front of the study to read and practice calligraphy."

Mo Nan replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Murong Xiao went to eat breakfast with light steps; the medicine didn't seem so scary today.

Qin Wanyou returned to her room still feeling ashamed and indignant. She slammed her hand on the table and thought to herself, "I never expected Murong Xiao to be such a shameless person! Humph!"

A moment later, Shuangling came in with breakfast. "Miss, what's wrong? What happened?"

Qin Wanyou regained her composure as the Ghost Pavilion Master. "It's alright. Go and deal with those two in a bit. We'll leave the manor after dinner."

"Yes, Miss." Shuangling put down the breakfast she was holding and went out.

Not long after, Moxi's screams came from outside, "Ah! Your Highness, Your Highness, save me! Someone is trying to assault me!"

Then they heard the butler's reprimand, "What are you doing? How can you be so shameless as to... how dare you behave so dissolutely towards Guard Moxi?"

Outside, the two bodyguards Li had placed beside Qin Wanyou realized what they had done and immediately knelt down, 'Steward, we...we don't know what happened, we...we didn't, it's...it's...'

The rest haven't come out yet.

Moxi immediately spoke up, "Your Highness, I had just arrived here when they suddenly appeared and pounced on me to assault me. Luckily, I was quick-witted and dodged them immediately. I didn't touch them. Don't wrong me, everyone saw it."

The two maids had grievances they couldn't express. "We didn't, we don't know what happened. Besides, we're girls, we wouldn't do such a thing."

Moxi snorted, "Who knows if you're secretly lusting after my beauty and my body. The tofu-selling girls outside are much prettier than you, and they always flirt with me whenever they see me, but I don't even look at them, let alone you? How dare you commit such disrespectful acts in the Prince's mansion and frame the Prince's first-class guard. Steward, throw them out of the mansion."

The two maids immediately cried out, "Injustice! Injustice! Steward, it really wasn't us! We were framed!"

The steward felt this was a bit of a dilemma, since this was, after all, a maid brought by the princess.

Seeing that the steward did not speak, the two maids immediately kowtowed and cried, "Steward, we were wrong, we know we were wrong, we will never dare to do it again, please don't drive us out of the manor."

At this moment, Shuangling appeared behind the butler and whispered something to him.

Finally, the butler looked at the two kneeling figures.
