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

The emperor was puzzled by Qin Yuechuan's words: "When did I ever say that I would give them silver and land?"

"Isn't friendship the same as alliance? Isn't alliance the same as marriage? If it's a marriage, won't the princess be given silver and land when she gets married?"

The emperor was unconsciously led by Qin Yuechuan to refute. He slammed his palm heavily on the dragon table, and the imperial pen rolled to the ground. He angrily scolded: "How dare you! When did I say that I wanted to form an alliance with him in marriage? Qin Yuechuan, don't presume to speculate on my thoughts!"

Qin Yuechuan lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, lowering his eyes to admit his fault: "It is my fault. I presumptuously speculated on the emperor's mind."

"There are many forms of diplomatic relations between the two countries. I will make my own decision!"

"Yes, I made a mistake. I was not thoughtful enough. I will remember that my father will not marry Nanyuan. I will remember my father's teachings."

Qin Yuechuan looked solemn on the surface, as if he was sincerely asking the emperor for forgiveness.

The emperor suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Qin Yuechuan lowered his eyelashes, his eyes were empty and the emperor could not see what emotion was in his eyes.

The emperor softened his heart and said, "Forget it. If you do it again, I will never forgive you!"

Qin Yuechuan replied: "Yes."

The emperor was about to say something else when Fu Xi's voice came from outside the study: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess wants to see you."

The emperor just felt a headache. Things here have not been dealt with yet, and Qin Yuling has caught up with him again. Recently, she has been frequently asking for permission to propose marriage to the young master of the Xia family. I don’t know what kind of magic potion she has taken, she is very stubborn.

The emperor instantly lost interest in discussing anything with Qin Yuechuan. He sat on the dragon chair tiredly, holding his forehead with one hand, and waved his hand, saying, "You go back first."

Qin Yuechuan achieved his goal and did not stay any longer. He turned around and was about to leave.

The emperor stared at his back and finally said, "I'll send someone to take you to the palace gate..."

"Thank you for your kindness, Father. I don't even need it."

The emperor did not force it: "It's up to you."

When Qin Yuechuan was leaving, he passed by Qin Yuling. She was like a crying animal cub. Before she even saw the emperor, she dragged out her words: "Father~~"

One can imagine what the situation is like inside.

Qin Yuechuan had no intention of asking any more questions and walked straight out of the palace.

When he was still a few steps away from the carriage, he suddenly sensed the presence of someone else inside.

From a distance, it was vaguely apparent that it was a woman.

Qin Yuechuan stopped and said coldly: "Who are you? Get out!"

Just as Qingyang was about to speak, the carriage curtain was opened and a teasing voice was heard:

"Ah, is there anyone else in His Royal Highness Prince Rong's carriage? Of course it's Princess Rong~"

When Qin Yuechuan heard Xu Xinyue's voice in front of him, he restrained his momentum. He thought that some blind person had got on his carriage.

It turned out to be Yueyue. Shouldn’t she be in the bookstore now?

Just now, Qin Yuechuan was thinking about going to the door of her bookstore to take a look and go back home with her, but he didn't expect that she would appear here.

He walked up quickly and asked with a gentle smile, "Why are you here, Yueyue? It's cold here. If I leave the palace later, won't I have to wait here forever?"

"It's OK. I asked Shopkeeper Wang to take me here. I didn't have to wait long."

Qin Yuechuan entered the carriage and followed Xu Xinyue's scent to sit beside her: "Have all the urgent matters at the bookstore been resolved?"

"Hmm... about the same..."

Hearing her hesitant tone, Qin Yuechuan asked, "Is there any trouble?"

"It's not really a problem."

Xu Xinyue simply told Qin Yuechuan everything that happened in the bookstore. At the end, she still didn't quite understand and asked, "What do you think he wants to do?"

"He just wants to reconcile with us, but I always feel that he wants more than that."

Qin Yuechuan was silent for a while after listening to this, and suddenly his voice became cold: "He is not after money, nor is he seeking reconciliation, but——"

"What? What's the purpose?" Xu Xinyue asked.

Did Qin Yuechuan guess it now?

"you."

"Me?" Xu Xinyue pointed at herself, "Why me? I can't exchange it for silver."

Qin Yuechuan rubbed her hair. Her money was definitely not worth any silver.

Her love is priceless and cannot be measured by money.

"Yueyue doesn't know, but I have seen this method too many times. I have even used it myself."

"Please cater to their interests, induce their cooperation, and bring them under your command."

A common method used by those in power to win people's hearts and minds.

"Yueyue is being spotted by someone who wants to recruit her to work for him. Your book club is just a side thing, and maybe he doesn't care whether he can join the club or not."

"Do you think those boxes of books are a sign of sincerity for joining the organization? In fact, they are bribes to you."

Xu Xinyue's eyes widened: "Bribe? Am I worth—so much bribe?"

Qin Yuechuan was amused: "Not only that, it is far from enough. According to what he said, even if we give all ten boxes of unique copies to Yueyue as a token of sincerity, it is still not enough."

"Someone must have taken a fancy to Yueyue's ability and wants to recruit you."

Xu Xinyue was a little embarrassed by Qin Yuechuan's straightforward appreciation: "You are the one who sees beauty in the eyes of your lover, you think I am good in every way, and I am worth a fortune in your mouth. But, thinking carefully, I don't think I have done anything extraordinary, everything is just natural."

Qin Yuechuan simply didn't know how to answer. His Yueyue was young and inexperienced. So far, she had not realized how brilliant and eye-catching she was.

"What should I do, Yueyue?"

"Ok?"

"I regret……"

"What do you regret?"

"I should choose the wedding date myself, choose the earliest one, and marry you back to the palace as soon as possible."

One or two of these ignorant people dared to covet his Yueyue.

"Qin Yuechuan...you're so sour..."

"..."

Qin Yuechuan recalled that he was the one who was despised for not understanding romance in the past, right?

It's him, isn't it...

Right……

Right ...

Qingyang outside interrupted at the right time: "Your Highness, the guards following Master Xu sent a message that Master Xu will arrive in Kyoto in about three days."

Xu Xinyue perked up: "Really? Daddy will be back in three days! I thought we couldn't be together during this New Year!"

Qin Yuechuan was also very happy and ordered: "Three days later, when Uncle Xu returns to Xu's house, the betrothal gifts from the palace will be sent together."

He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Xu Xinyue and her father had such a deep relationship as father and daughter. Xu Yuanshan must attach great importance to these etiquettes and he had to do it to satisfy him.

"Dowry...ah, I, I haven't embroidered the wedding dress yet! With my needlework skills, how can I finish it in time? I'm afraid it may not be finished by this time next year!"

Xu Xinyue covered her head in annoyance. The simple purse she made for Qin Yuechuan last time was already her limit. Thinking about the complicated and intricate pattern of the wedding dress, it would be very annoying even if she had to mend two stitches.

"Don't worry, Yueyue. I have already made all the arrangements. All you need to do is be a beautiful bride on your wedding day."

"But I heard that it takes at least a month to prepare wedding clothes. Now we are about to get married - have you started preparing in Lizhou?"

Qin Yuechuan smiled but did not answer.

Not only that, he had already started preparing since the day they got engaged.

After returning to the palace, the two had dinner and, seeing that it was getting late, prepared to go back to bed to rest.

The two of them had the same room path. Xu Xinyue followed Qin Yuechuan with her head down, as if she was still thinking about something.

"What is Yueyue thinking about?"

"I was wondering who the Qiulu Bookstore was relying on behind the scenes... who could have such a big hand..."

"No matter who it is, Yueyue doesn't have to worry. I will dig deep into the ground and find out who is behind it."

Look who is so ignorant of life and death.

If Yueyue really rejected that person's recruitment, there would be only two common results: either she would be abandoned and someone else would be chosen, or... she would rather be destroyed in her hands than be used by others.

Judging from what Ling Qiu said, he doesn't seem to be a good person.

The protection of Yueyue should be strengthened.

Qin Yuechuan thought about it and reminded:

"Yueyue, that person may have bad intentions. If you can't recruit him, he may use special means. You should be more careful when entering and leaving the bookstore in the next few days."

"If it really doesn't work, you might as well use your real face and do business as Princess Rong."

"Hmm..." Xu Xinyue seemed to be thinking about something and responded subconsciously.

Before her thoughts were completely withdrawn, she saw Qin Yuechuan's figure suddenly stop and stand at the door of the bedroom. He just smiled at her and didn't say anything.

Xu Xinyue was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Since we are here, why don't you go in? Doesn't Qin Yuechuan want to rest?"

"Ah."

Xu Xinyue felt that he was very strange at this moment. When he stepped into the bedroom and saw the furnishings in the room, he realized: this was no longer a cave.

And this is not her Lanyue Pavilion, it seems to be Qin Yuechuan's Luanfengyuan.

The habit of eating and living together in the same cave continued to this day.

Xu Xinyue took back the foot she had just taken, "I forgot, we are no longer in the cave."

She can go back to her yard and rest.

"Then I..."

She turned around and was about to go back, but was pulled back by Qin Yuechuan's arm.

Qin Yuechuan embraced Xu Xianyue from behind, leaned over and whispered to her, "It doesn't matter whether we are in the cave or not. What should I do... I am used to sleeping with Yueyue."

"Besides, I am blind now. If I wake up in the middle of the night and find no one beside me, I will be very scared."

Would a blind person who enters the palace alone be afraid of this?

Xu Xinyue did not expose him, and asked in a probing manner: "Oh, is that so?"

"real or fake?"

"Yeah. If you don't believe me, try touching it~"

"Then I will..."

She had just started talking when Qin Yuechuan grabbed her by the waist and carried her horizontally, striding into the house: "Since Yueyue has agreed, there is nothing more to say."

"Ah! Qin Yuechuan! Put me down!"

A strong gust of wind closed the door directly, and soon the cold and lonely bedroom was lit up with warm light. Amid the flickering candlelight, the two people's laughter and playfulness continued for a long time.

It doesn't look like he's taking a rest.

*

Ever since Qin Zhaolie learned the news that Qin Yuechuan had returned to Beijing, he didn't know whether to be angry or "laugh". The same result as last time made him extremely doubtful of Xuanxiao Pavilion's "ability" to do things.

"What Xuanxiao Pavilion! What a waste! They can't even kill one person! Not even one person died!"

All this money was completely wasted!!

"Your Majesty, it's not like... there is no gain at all. It seems that Prince Rong has gone blind..."

"It's no use! He's blinded and I've injured my leg!"

Qin Zhaolie's back teeth were grinding with a clattering sound: "You really have a tough life!"

"My Lord, someone came to the Xu Mansion today..."

"What are the people from the Xu Mansion doing here? I don't have time to deal with them recently!"

"Your wedding is coming up soon, but it seems that you haven't sent the betrothal gifts yet. Someone from the Xu residence has come to urge you to go through the formalities... It will make the Xu residence look good, and it will also make the Qi Palace look good."

"Oh, let's go through the formalities. I'm busy all day, so how can I take care of the Xu Mansion? There are still a lot of things to be dealt with in the Imperial Mausoleum Barracks. You have the nerve to come here with a betrothal gift."

The secret guard knew that he was angry and dared not say anything.

"Forget it. You can pick it up for me tomorrow and send it to the Xu residence. I have something else to do outside the residence."

"But……"

"You don't understand what I said?"

"I obey my orders."

*

When Qin Yuechuan opened his eyes again, it was no longer darkness and nothingness, but a bright and colorful scene before his eyes.

He could clearly see the still gray sky outside the window and the tiny candlelight on the table.

His eyesight was restored.

I subconsciously wanted to stand up to confirm, but I only moved slightly, and heard the soft voice in my arms mumble: "Why did you get up so early..."

Xu Xinyue's head rested against his chest, arched unconsciously, and the arms around his waist tightened unconsciously.

"Sleep a little longer..."

Qin Yuechuan stared at her sleeping face intently and whispered in her ear: "Yueyue, I can see it."

"Just see it, what's the matter..."

Xu Xinyue answered with her eyes closed, then suddenly came to her senses and looked up at him: "...Are your eyes okay? Can you see me clearly?"

"Yeah, I can see it clearly."

Xu Xinyue struggled to half-raise herself from his arms, stared into his eyes for a long time, and after confirming that there was no problem, she said, "That's great. I thought you might not be able to recover before Dad returns to Beijing."

As he was speaking, Xiao Chan's voice came from the door: "Miss? Are you awake?"

"Um, Xiaochan, I'm awake. What's up?"

"Miss, the master is back and has now returned to the Xu residence."

"Really? Didn't you say in three days? How come it's so soon!"

Xu Xinyue was no longer sleepy and stood up decisively: "I'll be right back after I'm done packing. Xiaochan, Xiaoshu, let's go back to the Xu residence together!"

Xu Xianyue got off the bed and dressed quickly. While changing clothes behind the screen, she asked him, "Qin Yuechuan, do you want to go back to the Xu residence with me?"

Qin Yuechuan stood up and said, "I'm afraid I can't go back with Yueyue because of the court meeting today. I will go to Xu's house to look for Yueyue later."

Xu Xinyue was already dressed, but Luanfeng Court did not have any dressing supplies for women at the moment. Xu Xinyue gathered her hair, wrapped herself in a cloak, and prepared to return to the Lanyue Pavilion nearby.

"In that case, Xiao Shu and Xiao Chan and I will go back to Xu's house first. We'll see you later."

"Ah."

After Xu Xinyue left, Qin Yuechuan looked around the empty room, stroking his chin and thinking: "It seems that I still need to buy some things for women..."
