Exclusive to you

After returning to the house, Yi Lin realized that she was no longer needed, so she promptly spoke up and left.

The other concubines saw that the concubines had all left, and the prince was only looking at the princess, not even giving them a spare glance.

A few people knew that staying any longer would not yield any results, so they took their leave and left in disappointment.

"Leng Aotian, you've been away for such a long time, why don't you go and favor your concubines in the backyard?"

The frank looks of those women just now were like those of vicious wolves, and she felt heartbroken when she saw them.

"I dare not go."

Don't dare? Is there anything else you don't do?

"Why don't you dare?"

"Because Yuan'er gets angry. The kind that's hard to coax."

An Yuanyuan: “…………”.

This man is always flirting. But she felt warm inside.

Suddenly I realized that this man seemed to be a little in love.

After Leng Aotian finished speaking, he moved closer to kiss An Yuanyuan, but An Yuanyuan stopped him and covered his mouth with her hand. "Don't make trouble. I need to change my clothes first. We will go to the palace earlier. I want to see the Royal Grandmother."

"Well, it won't delay Yuan'er." After saying that, Leng Aotian reached out and pulled her hand away, then kissed her on the lips.

After a long time, Leng Aotian rested his forehead against An Yuanyuan's forehead, and they both looked at each other breathlessly.

"You change and pack up first. I'm going to the study. I'll come pick you up later."

An Yuanyuan nodded.

Leng Aotian let go of An Yuanyuan and stood up to leave. If he didn't leave, he really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to attend the palace banquet in the evening.

Yi Lin, who had just left, was stopped by the concubines who came out from behind, "Concubine Yi, please stay."

Yi Lin stopped and turned to look at them. "What's the matter?"

"Concubine Yi, after such a long wait, the prince has finally returned, but you don't seem to be keen on serving him." said one of the leading concubines.

Yi Lin snorted coldly, "What can we do if we are passionate about it? Can we change anything?" Before there was no princess, it couldn't be changed. Now there is a cold princess, and the prince loves the princess so much. What else do they have to do with it?

And she found that whenever they got close, the prince's expression turned disgusted. He only allowed the princess to get close to him.

Yi Lin looked at them and said, "Sometimes it is better to face the reality and keep a distance to protect yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and left without paying any attention to them.

My father did not receive any punishment for the last incident because of the Queen's relationship.

But she knew that Prince An and Leng Aotian were putting pressure on her father and trying to make things difficult for him, and her father had not had a good life in the past year.

She also suddenly came to her senses.

She knew that he was willing to let her marry him because he needed his father's help. Not because he liked her. But she was still willing to marry Leng Aotian. So she didn't hate him, nor did she blame him.

It's her fault for overestimating herself.

I thought that if I married Leng Aotian first, I would have a chance to make him fall in love with me.

It was all just what she thought.

Maybe he never thought of having any contact with her from the beginning.

She had woken up from her dream and was ready to live out her life alone in this cold palace. She only hoped that her father and family would be well.

"What does she mean?" The concubines behind him looked at each other, confused.

"What else can it mean? She's backing down. She's the daughter of the Prime Minister, but she has no fighting spirit. Her position as a concubine is wasted." Xiao Liangdi, who was speaking, snorted disdainfully at Yi Lin who had already walked away.

After saying this, she left without waiting for anyone else and took her maid with her.

They are all fools with heart but no courage.

Before the banquet started, An Yuanyuan and Leng Aotian went to see the Queen Mother first.

Leng Aotian found the right time and found an excuse to leave first, giving the little woman and the queen mother some time to talk alone.

An Yuanyuan exchanged pleasantries with the Queen Mother for a long time, and only when she saw that the time was almost up did the Queen Mother let her go.

The Queen Mother has been feeling unwell these days and does not plan to attend this banquet.

When An Yuanyuan stepped out of the Queen Mother's palace, she saw a man waiting for her not far away.

The man ran over in two steps and stretched out his arms to hug the little woman who was running towards him.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Not long ago, just arrived. Let's go, the banquet has begun." Leng Aotian took An Yuanyuan's hand and walked towards the banquet hall.

As soon as they reached the door, the eunuch's voice rang in their ears, "Prince Leng and Princess Leng have arrived."

An Yuanyuan stepped into the banquet hall and found that all the seats were already full of people, even the emperor was sitting in the high seat.

An Yuanyuan held the man's hand nervously. She asked in a very low voice, "Are we late?"

Leng Aotian smiled when he heard this and squeezed the little woman's soft and boneless hand. "No, today we are the finale."

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and at peace."

"My beloved, I will be free of any courtesy."

After Leng Aotian stood up, the emperor continued, "The victory of this war is due to the great contribution of Lord Leng. Lord Leng has made meritorious service many times. I have decided to confer upon Lord Leng the title of the mighty general who protects the country and grants him the golden medal of immunity from death. Lord Leng can make any wish he has, and I will do my best to satisfy it."

Leng Aotian glanced at the little woman beside him, bowed his hands again and said, "Your Majesty is so gracious and considerate. I don't need anything else. But I have one favor to ask Your Majesty to fulfill."

After Leng Aotian finished speaking, everyone looked at him, curious about what he was talking about. Even An Yuanyuan couldn't help but look at him.

"My dear, just tell me what you want to say."

"I want to resign from the position of general." Leng Aotian's words were shocking, and everyone was in an uproar.

"My dear minister, what do you mean? Are you dissatisfied with the reward I gave you?" The emperor was displeased. In fact, he already knew it, after all, Leng Aotian had already told him in a letter before he came back, but in front of the ministers, he still had to go through the necessary process.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not what I meant. It's just that I have been fighting outside for many years and have neglected my wife at home. I don't want her to run around with me and be tired. Now that the war is over, I just want to spend more time with my family." Leng Aotian looked at An Yuanyuan affectionately.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Well, I agree. Although you are not in the court, you are still a pillar of our dynasty. If needed in the future, you still need to serve the country." "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Leng Aotian kowtowed to express his gratitude.

The other ministers and the three generals wanted to persuade Leng Aotian to reconsider, but seeing his firm attitude and the emperor's agreement, it was useless for them to say anything more.

Then the emperor rewarded other generals and meritorious soldiers, and finally Ampereson also received a reward.

At first, An Peisheng wanted to take this opportunity to ask the emperor to grant him and Qiu Shuang a marriage. But after struggling, he gave up the idea. After all, he was not sure that he could get the emperor to agree, and he hadn't dealt with his father yet. If he did it directly, it would be fine if the emperor agreed, but if he didn't agree, it would be like pushing her to the edge of the storm.

Don't want her to get hurt.
