After they were away from the crowd, Li Siwan and Xiahou Su stood side by side by the lake before they pulled out their daggers.

The moonlight reflected from the lakeside, casting Li Siwan's silhouette in the cold light of the dagger.

"It's indeed a good thing."

Xiahou Su nodded on the side, "It's really good."

Li Siwan thought about it, then smiled and looked at Xiahou Su, "When I get back, I'll modify one side of this dagger and hide poison inside. Then you can carry it with you. It will be the best for self-defense."

When these words were spoken, Xiahou Su was slightly stunned, and the light in his eyes was more colorful than the lake.

"For me?"

"Of course, I'm playing this game just to give you this. Tell me, is there any way to sharpen this dagger and then hide poison in it?"

Li Siwan was talking to himself, totally unaware of the brightness in Xiahou Su's eyes.

After waiting for a long time without any response, he raised his eyes and looked over.

Her eyes met with Xiahou Su's in mid-air. The heat in his eyes startled her heart, and then she couldn't help but indulge in it.

Xiahou Su is too attractive.

This is true every time.

Not only is her beauty alluring, but her eyes alone always lure people into depravity.

But having learned her lesson from Xiahou Su's teasing of her before, Li Siwan learned her lesson this time.

Restraining himself from looking away, Li Siwan coughed lightly, put the dagger away, and turned to look at the snack street on the side.

"Let's go over there and take a look. We can also bring some delicious food back."

After Li Siwan finished speaking, she walked to the side. Xiahou Su smiled faintly, looking understanding, and followed closely behind her.

The two of them walked through the crowd and arrived at the snack stand. Looking at the various snacks, Li Siwan's previous thoughts disappeared without a trace.

"This is delicious, Asu, try it."

“This is delicious too...”

"and this!"

Li Siwan ate and bought snacks as he went along, while Xiahou Su followed behind him with a doting look on his face, paying for the snacks as he took them.

The two figures shuttled among the crowd, surrounded by the atmosphere of fireworks, warmth and tranquility.

When Li Siwan came all the way down, he was very satisfied with the meal.

Xiahou Su's arms were also filled with various snacks.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Siwan took Xiahou Su back to the mansion.

The first thing he did was to put the broken lantern back in place, and then he gave snacks to everyone in the marquis's mansion.

That night, the outside was bustling with activity and the mansion was also filled with laughter.

Li Siwan returned to his room to rest late at night. He lay on the bed looking at the lanterns, the smile on his lips deepening as he fell asleep.

The next morning, Li Siwan washed up thoroughly.

An imperial decree had been delivered to the Marquis' Mansion before, and the Queen summoned Li Siwan today.

Although Li Siwan had been trying to figure out why the Queen was so nice to her, she could feel the sincerity behind this kindness, so she began to accept it sincerely.

Before going out, she also brought a special prescription with her, which was a medicinal diet specially prepared according to the queen's pulse condition.

When I went out, I saw Xiahou Su standing outside the yard.

He was wearing a blue fox fur coat, and his snow-white fur made him look more like a banished immortal.

Li Siwan's eyes brightened up. It was not bad to be attacked by beauty so early in the morning.

Smiling, he left the house with Xiahou Su, and the carriage started moving straight into the palace gate.

"I have to go see the emperor first, and then I'll pick you up."

"Ah."

After separating from Xiahou Su, Li Siwan was taken to the harem by the nanny.

Kunning Palace is the Queen's residence, and this is Li Siwan's first time here.

It is magnificent, yet exceptionally quiet and elegant.

As I entered the palace, I saw the queen coming out with a smile.

"It's evening!"

Li Siwan hurried over to greet him, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."

"I've already told you that you are now my adopted daughter and Princess Jiayue. You don't have to be so distant with me. If you are not used to calling me mother, you can just call me aunt."

The Queen looked so sincere and kind that Li Siwan couldn't refuse any further.

"aunt."

The address was so intimate and gentle that the queen's eyes immediately turned red.

"Good boy, come in with me."

After entering the inner hall, Li Siwan saw a table full of food, all of which were her favorites.

A warm feeling suddenly surged in my heart.

After she traveled through time, it seemed like her luck really changed.

She was once alone and helpless, but now she is treated with warmth and kindness.

"Try it and see if you like it."

"Of course I like it. I like everything my aunt prepares."

Li Siwan smiled gently and took out the prescription.

"I took your pulse last time, and this is the medicinal diet prescribed for you according to your constitution. I'll ask the people in your hospital to follow the prescription and you will be well cured."

When she saw the prescription, the queen's eyes turned red again.

Touched, he held Li Siwan's hand and said, "Okay, okay, I will drink the medicinal food that our Waner specially gave me every day."

During breakfast, Li Siwan was talking to the queen.

Li Siwan had previously thought that the queen was unfathomable. After all, as the queen and the holy maiden of the Guangyuanhan family, her scheming was unfathomable.

But now, she also discovered that the queen was also an ordinary person.

He gave up his whole life for the sake of the country. He is both pitiful and respectable.

In this way, she felt a little closer to the Queen.

Li Siwan stayed until almost noon before leaving Kunning Palace.

As soon as I arrived outside the palace gate, I heard a shrill voice coming from outside.

"This girl looks familiar. I wonder which palace this beautiful maid belongs to?"

Li Siwan turned around, was stunned at first, and then burst out laughing.

Because Su Xiaoyao got a eunuch's uniform from somewhere, he bent over and followed Xiaozhi.

The orchid finger is raised, but it is done effortlessly.

Li Siwan raised his eyebrows, "This eunuch looks familiar, but he is a little ugly."

"Li Siwan, how dare you say I'm ugly?"

Seeing the mockery in Li Siwan's eyes, Su Xiaoyao got angry.

He wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Xiaozhi.

"I forgot that you were going to the palace today."

Xiao Zhi is a cold person, but now she seems to have become a little warmer when she sees Li Siwan.

Li Siwan smiled and looked at the tray in her hand. Seeing the paper cuttings on the tray, Li Siwan became curious.

"This is?"

"The Queen Mother's palace is always deserted, so I went to get these things to make it more festive."

"Yes!"

Su Xiaoyao said again in a shrill voice.

Li Siwan felt a little nauseous, "Can you be normal, or I will let Xiahou Su really..."

Li Siwan made a knife-like gesture with his hand.

Su Xiaoyao covered his mouth subconsciously, "What a ruthless woman! I was thinking of giving you a New Year's gift!"

"Gift?"

Li Siwan's eyes sparkled. "Tell me, how much is the banknote?"

"Roll, roll, roll, you money-grubber!"

Seeing the two interacting, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but curl her lips.

The cold flowers bloom, and the beautiful woman smiles to captivate the city. Li Siwan has witnessed it all.

"Xiaozhi, why are you so pretty when you smile? I'm moved every time I see you. Can you please not be so stubborn about your gender?"

Li Siwan was about to rush over, but was stopped by Su Xiaoyao, "Go, go, go find your Xiahou Su. I just saw Song Qiyu go to the imperial study with an excited smile on his face."

When he heard the name Song Qiyu, Li Siwan's expression darkened.

"Really?"

"What did I lie to you about?"

After saying that, Su Xiaoyao tugged at Xiao Zhi's sleeve and said, "Let's go and do some paper cutting!"

Without caring about Su Xiaoyao's forgetting his friends for the sake of beauty, Li Siwan turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

Without being summoned, she could not go to the imperial study and could only go to the palace gate to wait for Xiahou Su.

But after waiting for a long time, Xiahou Su did not come out, but Song Qiyu came out first.
