After the engagement was called off, the senior sister of the sect took the initiative to consummate

The next morning, as the rooster crowed at dawn, sunlight silently streamed into the room through the window.

Qin Yichen slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he found himself holding someone tightly in his arms. Upon closer inspection, he recognized her as Lin Ruoxi.

She was like an adorable octopus, using both her hands and feet to tightly entangle Qin Yichen.

Seeing this, Qin Yichen couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.

Using such an alluring scene to test a hot-blooded young man, which young man could withstand the test?

What's more, he had to exert a lot of effort last night to resist eating the "delicious" food in front of him; it took a long and intense internal struggle!

However, at this moment, Lin Ruoxi in his arms was still sleeping soundly, completely unaware of the turmoil in Qin Yichen's heart.

But Qin Yichen knew very well that if things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before he completely lost his mind and took advantage of Lin Ruoxi!

Think of this.

Qin Yichen couldn't help but secretly groan, hoping that Lin Ruoxi would wake up soon so that he could be freed from this awkward and dangerous situation.

Just as Qin Yichen was extremely anxious, Lin Ruoxi let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing Qin Yichen so close to her, she was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed red. She abruptly released her grip and broke free from Qin Yichen's embrace.

"Your...Your Highness, good morning..." Lin Ruoxi said, her face slightly flushed.

Her large, watery eyes dared not look directly at Qin Yichen, only occasionally stealing a glance before quickly lowering her head again.

Upon hearing the voice, Qin Yichen slowly turned around, a helpless smile on his face, and said softly, "I don't know if you're alright, but I certainly didn't sleep well last night."

After saying that, he shook his head slightly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, what happened last night made him somewhat worried that it would affect his relationship with Lin Ruoxi.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxi felt even more ashamed and embarrassed. She lowered her head and unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes as if she wanted to crush it to pieces.

Seeing this, Qin Yichen quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, get up quickly, we still have a lot to do today."

After saying that, he began to tidy up his clothes on his own.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxi nodded gently as if granted a pardon, then turned and walked to the bedside, where she began to dress softly.

A short while later, she was dressed and followed Qin Yichen out of the room.

The morning sun shone on them, bringing a touch of warmth, and the fresh air from outside rushed in.

Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath of the fresh air, and her mood gradually relaxed.

However, Lin Ruoxi was unaware that all the young maids who passed by them were staring at her with envious, jealous, and even slightly hateful eyes.

The maids either whispered among themselves or pointed at Lin Ruoxi.

But Lin Ruoxi, lost in her own thoughts, was completely unaware of this and continued to follow closely behind Qin Yichen.

Qin Yichen carefully looked around and saw that everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with red silk and lanterns hanging in every corner, making the whole place festive.

He nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and whispered to Lin Ruoxi beside him, "Remember to arrange a few quick-witted people at the entrance later. As soon as they see guests, they should immediately announce loudly what gifts they have brought. Make sure everyone present can hear them!"

Lin Ruoxi was incredibly intelligent; how could she not understand Qin Yichen's intentions behind his actions?

She frowned slightly, looking troubled, and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Won't it make us seem too ostentatious?"

Qin Yichen didn't take it to heart. "It's alright. Face is something you earn yourself, not something someone gives you. If they want face, they can earn it from the gifts they receive!"

After saying that, he gently patted Lin Ruoxi's shoulder, assuring her that she could do as he said.

Seeing that Qin Yichen had made up his mind, Lin Ruoxi had no choice but to agree, "I will obey Your Highness's orders."

They then set about arranging manpower.

……

"Is it rumored that I ordered the Prince of Jin's residence to host a housewarming banquet?"

"Interesting, very interesting. That brat actually dared to use me as a pretext just to collect congratulatory gifts."

In the Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Study, Emperor Qin knew without a second thought that the rumors circulating in the streets were deliberately spread by Qin Yichen, since he was the one who benefited from them.

The more the Qin Emperor thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but curse: "That scoundrel dared to spread rumors about me today in order to receive gifts, so wouldn't he dare to forge an imperial edict tomorrow?"

"If I don't discipline him for a day, he'll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles! Where's my sword? Today I'm going to chop that unfilial son to pieces!"

Ye Buqun could only listen from the sidelines, not daring to say a word.

Don't be fooled by the Qin Emperor's fierce scolding. If he were to blindly join in, he would be subjected to a severe verbal attack at best, and at worst, his entire family would be wiped out.

When the Qin Emperor scolded Qin Yichen, it was only natural for a father to scold his son.

If anyone insults Qin Yichen, just see if the Qin Emperor gets angry or not.

After venting his anger, the Qin Emperor instructed Ye Buqun: "Send men to secretly observe the Jin Prince's residence closely today and report back to me immediately!"

"Yes!"

Ye Buqun bowed and retreated.

……

Before long, the guests began to arrive.

The first person to enter was a wealthy merchant. A servant from the Prince of Jin's residence announced loudly, "Mr. Li has come to offer his congratulations with a pair of thousand-year-old ginseng and ten pearls from the South China Sea!"

Everyone was astonished upon hearing this.

Next came an official: "Lord Wang from the Ministry of Works presented a jade screen and five scrolls of antiques and calligraphy!"

As guests entered one by one, carrying generous gifts, the atmosphere in the venue grew increasingly lively.

Of course, none of these people were qualified to be personally received by Qin Yichen, a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty.

However, at that moment, an old man dressed in simple clothes slowly walked over. Just as the servant was about to shout, Qin Yichen immediately raised his hand to stop him.

The old man smiled and said, "I have nothing of great value, only a sincere heart, which I have come to offer my blessings."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his attendant immediately handed him a couplet that he had personally written.

The visitor was none other than Prime Minister Jun Moxie.

Qin Yichen stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "It is already more precious than a thousand pieces of gold for the old gentleman to attend the banquet in person."

Everyone was surprised.

What's wrong? Have you changed your mind?

You weren't like this just now.

If I hadn't seen several attendants at the door loudly announcing the congratulatory gifts, would I have rushed to change to a more lavish gift?

Qin Yichen said loudly, "I am not holding this banquet today for the sake of wealth, but to see the sincerity of people's hearts. Your sincerity is the most precious thing."

"A gift of a feather sent from afar carries profound meaning! True friendship lies in the heart, not in the gift itself!"

Lin Ruoxi smiled with relief, understanding Qin Yichen's true intention in saying that.

"A gift of a feather sent from a thousand miles away is a small gift but carries great meaning..."

Jun Moxie stroked his beard and smiled at Qin Yichen, "Well said. Your Highness is so young, yet you have such insight. You are truly a blessing to the Great Qin."

Qin Yichen humbly replied, "You flatter me, sir. I was merely acting on my whims."

At that moment, a disdainful snort suddenly came from the originally noisy crowd.
