When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Xinyue ordered someone to give a box to each shopkeeper.

"Here is the indemnity for breach of the agreement."

Several shopkeepers looked puzzled. "Princess, there is really no need to do this. If Madam Xu breaks the contract, we will come to her house to ask for the money. We have the written receipt. For the sake of her reputation, she will not deny the debt."

Xu Xinyue said in a gentle voice: "I'm afraid you won't be able to find Yang after this. This matter is because of me, and I won't let you lose money in vain. I will compensate you for this money."

"But it won't stop you from coming to the Xu Mansion to pay the balance and other expenses."

The shopkeepers seemed to understand what was going on and did not dare to say anything more. They each took the boxes in front of them, bowed and left.

Xu Xinyue returned and scattered all the remaining bait in her palm into the pond. She washed her hands with a wet towel, sat back down at the stone table and bench beside the colorful carp pond, and began to grind the bait into fine powder with the pestle and mortar again.

While mixing the powders, he muttered: "Crushed cloves... green bamboo leaves... well, add some nard..."

A familiar, low, gentle voice came from above my head: "What is Yueyue doing?"

Without even raising her head, Xu Xianyue smiled mysteriously: "Make some gadgets."

Qin Yuechuan had heard about her plan and guessed that she was probably preparing for Yang's matter.

Qin Yuechuan sat down beside her, and seeing her rosy face, he felt much more at ease.

God knows the scene that day was simply horrifying to him.

As a man who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he could accept bloodstains appearing on anyone, even himself, but not on Xu Xinyue!

His brows furrowed: It seems that the Xu family didn't learn enough from Wu's last lesson.

While he was thinking, Xu Xinyue's voice echoed in his ears: "Qin Yuechuan, I want to go out for a walk, come with me."

"Where does Yueyue want to go?"

"Puji Temple."

"it is good."

"Don't you even ask why I'm going there?"

"Wherever Yueyue wants to go, I will accompany her."

The underworld and the blue sky will always be with you.

Xu Xinyue smiled but did not answer, still concentrating on the work in her hands.

Recalling something, she said:

"Qin Yuechuan, I've seen the auspicious date. Let's choose May 17th of next year, okay?"

"It's warm and balmy, neither too hot nor too cold. This is the perfect time to get married."

She still didn't look up, but the smile on her lips was as warm and gentle as the spring breeze she talked about.

"Well, just listen to Yueyue."

Qin Yuechuan supported his chin, quietly watching Xu Xinyue fiddling and rubbing, busying herself, listening to her whispers. Even if he did nothing at the moment, he felt extremely fulfilled in his heart.

Some of her hair fell down the side of her face, and Qin Yuechuan naturally raised his hand to help her tuck it behind her ears.

He said: "Father has taken your medicine and is getting much better. Although he needs further treatment, Yueyue's contribution is indispensable. I think the imperial edict will be issued soon-"

Before he finished speaking, a subordinate came to report, "Your Majesty, someone came from the palace and said there is an imperial decree."

Xu Xinyue and Qin Yuechuan looked at each other and understood what was going on.

"Zi——Princess Rong Xu Xianyue, virtuous, intelligent, and prudent, with extraordinary medical skills, I specially grant her the title of County Princess, the title of Rongyue, and a hundred rolls of silk and a hundred pieces of jewels as a token of her inheritance."

"Your son accepts the order. Long live the emperor."

Just as Xu Xinyue was about to kowtow to receive the order, another charming voice rang out: "No need to kneel, no need to kneel. Yueyue is not well yet, so this ceremony is excused."

When the eunuch in charge of announcing the imperial edict saw that it was Qin Lingruo, he did not dare to say anything more, but smiled and left.

Also coming were Xia Xueyao and Qin Xingyue.

Qin Lingruo rushed over and said, "Yueyue~How are you? My heart started pounding when I heard that the Third Emperor summoned the imperial physician. What disease can't you cure? Could something have happened to you? Are you injured somewhere? Are you eating well? Are you sleeping well? How does the Third Emperor take care of you? Father and Mother have been keeping me from leaving the palace lately. Yaoyao has also been taken away by the Second Emperor to play, and he doesn't even take me with him."

Qin Lingruo kept complaining about her grievances and "crying" for a long time, but Xu Xinyue couldn't get a word in for a while, so she could only smile bitterly: "Ling'er, you asked so many questions, how can I start answering."

Qin Lingruo didn't even look at Qin Yuechuan's expression, and directly pulled Xu Xinyue and Xia Xueyao to the side.

Qin Lingruo pretended to be angry: "You have been so busy lately that you haven't even thought about me!"

Xia Xueyao said gently, "I have thought about it. I really have. Aji and I... His Royal Highness Prince Xin said that we will definitely take you with us next time we go out."

"It's been so long, and there's still the next trip. If you miss me, I'm afraid my second brother would like me to stay away from him."

Xu Xinyue saw them singing the same tune and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Yaoyao has been very happy recently."

Xia Xueyao seemed to be particularly prone to blushing about this matter: "Also... it's okay."

"I think he's not that bad. Every time I look at my second brother recently, he's like a peacock, spreading his feathers all day long. I don't know for whom..."

Xia Xueyao's face was almost red, and she said retortively: "You are still blaming me. I don't know who is always talking about A Leng's height, A Leng's shortness, whether A Leng has eaten enough, and whether A Leng is dressed warmly."

"He's my little brother. An elder sister is like a mother. What's wrong with showing some concern for him? Besides, we rescued him together. Can you bear to watch him being bullied by those palace servants for no reason?"

Qin Lingruo argued, "Besides, he deserves it. I've always known what it feels like to have an obedient little brother! It's like having an extra little follower!"

"A Leng is considerate and caring every day."

"He was the one who covered for me before I left the palace this time!"

I really got a cheap brother for nothing. Even my royal brother treats me no better than this."

Xu Xianyue smiled slightly and said disapprovingly: "You sneaked out of the palace?"

Xia Xueyao also said: "If the emperor and empress knew about this, would you be punished? Does Aji know about this?"

Qin Lingruo touched her earlobe guiltily: "Brother Huang, he should know. Didn't I just let it slip? He has always been very clear about my thoughts——"

"Will Ling'er suffer after returning to the palace?"

"I'm a princess. I'm just confined to copy books. What am I afraid of?"

Xu Xinyue and Xia Xueyao felt relieved and tapped her forehead: "You are too playful. I wonder who has taken in this little devil like you?"

"It's ridiculous. Who would accept me?"

Xu Xinyue suddenly remembered something: "However, you may be fine. If Qin Leng is involved, I'm afraid..."

Qin Lingruo's eyes widened: "Who dares to bully Ah Leng? I am protecting him now!"

The three of them chatted and laughed, strolled slowly, and soon disappeared around the corner of the garden.

Qin Xingyue watched Qin Yuechuan watch Xu Xianyue and the others disappear before he turned around, chuckled, and said:

"In recent days, the emperor has claimed to be ill and has not attended court meetings. Although he has claimed that he is fine, it has still caused unrest in the court. Qin Zhaolie's faction has obviously been shaken. Although this matter is related to him, the emperor does not seem to blame him too much. He just said to Concubine Su that she was a bad mother, and then let it go."

"Father, have you not given up on Qin Zhaolie yet? Right now, the court officials are all undecided about your actions and don't know what to do. The situation of the two brothers Qin Zhaolie and Qin Jizhao is also very awkward now."

Qin Yuechuan said calmly: "Qin Zhaolie's influence in the court should not be underestimated. Moreover, I suspect he has other 'extra power'."

Qin Xingyue was surprised: "Extra forces?"

"For example, stationing troops."
