The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Ever since Liao Qinglan woke up again, Gu Mingzhao has turned down the responsibility of regent and put all his attention on her.

As a result, his nominal official position was only the commander of the imperial guards.

Five years ago, he brought Liang Wu back to the capital and trained him in the imperial guards.

This young man is not only loyal and kind, but also down-to-earth and hard-working. He has performed outstandingly in the army and has made many military achievements.

He promoted Liang Wu step by step to the position of deputy commander of the imperial guards, and handed over daily military affairs to him.

Over the years, Liang Wu had managed the imperial guards in an orderly manner, and he never had to worry about anything.

Therefore, Gu Mingzhao basically had no official business to deal with.

After stepping down as regent, Gu Mingzhao, who worked day and night for five years, led a life that was completely different from his previous life.

Every morning, he still went to the Golden Throne Hall on time to attend the morning court.

But after the court session, he went straight home and was able to have breakfast with Liao Qinglan at home.

Liao Qinglan has studied medicine for two lifetimes. Now that he cannot move his legs, he has nothing to do at home. He studies acupuncture on his legs every day, with considerable results.

Within a month, he was able to get out of bed and walk on his own.

Even Mo Wang thought that this acupuncture method was amazing, and he often came to exchange experiences with her.

Ever since she was able to walk, she has been counting the time every day, and when Gu Mingzhao is about to return from court, she stands at the gate of the Prince Qin's Mansion waiting for him.

One day, Qin Yanran passed by the gate in a carriage and happened to catch a glimpse of Liao Qinglan standing in front of the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion.

She slammed the curtain of the car window, her face suddenly changed, and she wrung the handkerchief in her hand hard.

Didn’t Liao Qinglan already become a living dead?

Didn’t you say you’d never wake up again?

Why is he not only alive but still standing there in good health?

Qin Yanran's maid Chuntao saw that her master had a bad look on her face, glanced out the window, and immediately understood why she was angry.

Chun Tao rolled her eyes and slandered him, adding fuel to the fire: "Look at her appearance, she is really not presentable! She is afraid that others don't know that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin neglected state affairs for her!"

Qin Yanran glanced at Chuntao and did not comment.

Chun Tao got her master's tacit approval and said even more brazenly: "I have been following the young lady for many years and have seen some of the world, but I have never seen a mistress as obsessed with the master as she is! She is standing at the gate waiting so shamelessly, just like a concubine!"

These words hit the mark of Qin Yanran's heart. Her expression eased slightly and she sighed softly, "I just can't bear to see a pillar of the country like His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin neglecting state affairs and ruining his reputation for a lifetime because of a woman."

Chun Tao quickly agreed, "That's right! If it were up to me, a lady like you who is sensible and reasonable would be the most suitable candidate for the princess!"

Qin Yanran was upset when she saw that Liao Qinglan was safe and sound, and wanted to go out and relax.

"Chun Tao, I will get off in front in a moment. You take the driver to the tea shop in Shili Pavilion and buy me some tea and snacks."

"Ah? Miss, you want to have some tea again? Are you still going to see the hairpins in Wanbao Pavilion?"

"Do I need your permission to do anything I want to do?" Qin Yanran's tone revealed a hint of displeasure.

"No...no need...I was the one who said too much." Chuntao quickly lowered her head.

"Just do what you are supposed to do, and don't interfere in other matters." Qin Yanran gave Chuntao a warning look, then got out of the car and left.

Chuntao was suddenly scolded and felt extremely aggrieved.

She was worried that if she was out for too long, the young lady would be waiting anxiously.

Shili Pavilion, as the name suggests, is located ten miles outside of Beijing.

Even if you take a horse carriage, the round trip will take more than an hour.

What's more, the checkpoints for entering Beijing are very strict. Every time I go out, I have to queue up to enter the city for another half an hour...

Why does the young lady like the snacks from Shiliting so much?

She was once curious and secretly tasted a piece, but she found the taste very ordinary and could not be compared with the snacks in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Could it be that the young lady is really tired of all the delicacies from land and sea and finds this simple meal novel?

Qin Yanran put on her mask and got out of the car, traveling through the streets of the capital.

She looked very alert and would look back every few steps to see if anyone was following her.

After walking around for a long time, he walked into a small alley, came to the door of an inconspicuous house, and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened and a young man with a slicked-back hair and powdered face stood behind it.

Even though Qin Yanran covered her face with a curtain, he still recognized her at a glance.

The man stepped aside to let Qin Yanran enter the house, then quickly bolted the door.

After the door was closed, he couldn't wait to put his arms around Qin Yanran's waist, lifted up the curtain, and pressed his cheek against Qin Yanran's neck.

"Brother Xiang, why are you still so impatient?" Qin Yanran scolded coquettishly.

Hu Axiang looked at Qin Yanran's face that was angry but shy, and said with a smile: "Miss Qin, I haven't seen you for half a month, how can I not miss you so much?"

Qin Yanran snorted: "You men are all the same. Even without me, you will still be happy."

"Is it because King Qin has made our young lady unhappy again?"

Hu Axiang carried her into the bedroom, put her on the bed, and pressed his body on her.

Qin Yanran turned her head and snorted again, obviously her anger had not subsided.

Seeing this, Hu Axiang became more certain of his guess and said sourly: "It seems that I guessed right. If he hadn't made you angry, how could the young lady think of me."

His hands were also idle, and he moved them up along her waist, gently kneading her towering breasts.

Qin Yanran felt itchy when he touched her, and she said in a low voice, "Why, are you still feeling wronged?"

"Given your family background, it's only a matter of time before you marry the King of Qin. But I'm worried that after you get married, will you still remember your brother Xiang?"

Qin Yanran smiled sweetly and said, "Of course I remember. You told me that a man can have three wives and four concubines, so why should a woman remain chaste for him?"

"Miss, just remember this. You promised me that after the wedding night, the second man would be me." Hu Axiang whispered softly into Qin Yanran's ear.

"Then you must perform well and let me see who has better skills, you or the King of Qin."

After saying this, Hu Axiang teased her even harder, and the atmosphere between them became even more ambiguous.

Before they knew it, all their clothes had been taken off.

After a round of lovemaking, Qin Yanran lay breathlessly in Hu Axiang's arms.

Hu Axiang is a young waiter in Zuihonglou, and he was also the person that Wan's mother found for Qin Yanran to teach her about matters between men and women a few years ago.

Although Qin Yanran's studies have apparently been completed, Hu Axiang's superb skills in bed and his sweet words make Qin Yanran quite dependent on him.

Over the years, the two have been in private contact, and Hu Axiang knows Qin Yanran's thoughts very well.

"Brother Xiang, I have a thorn in my side, and I need you to help me get rid of her."

"Is it the Princess Qin who woke up recently?"

"Yes."

"That's easy. You hold a banquet, invite her, and then bring people to watch me destroy her innocence. The King of Qin will definitely divorce her."

"No! I can't let her go so easily! I want her to leave the palace on her own accord and watch me and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin live happily ever after!"

Hu Axiang scratched her nose and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
