Qingliu Lane.

The carriage from King Zhao's mansion stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Yan Cheng took his entourage to the door of one of the houses in a noble manner.

The door was knocked and a voice came from inside: "Who?"

"It's me, is Aunt Liu's?"

Soon the door was opened, and Liu Xier looked a little panicked: "Cousin, cousin..."

Yan Cheng nodded, as if he didn't know her nervousness at all, and said, "I'll give my aunt a holiday gift."

The festival ceremony. Liu Xier was stunned for a moment. Seeing the gift carried by the entourage behind him, she immediately understood that Yan Cheng did not come here privately, but represented the Zhao Prince's Mansion.

Liu Xier breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed out a smile: "Here, please cousin Yan."

Concubine Liu Xian had already come out of the house. When she saw Yan Cheng, she was first surprised, then nodded reservedly in front of her follower and said softly: "Acheng, thank you for your hard work, why are you so embarrassed?"

"Auntie, you're so kind, just a little bit of a gift to express your feelings."

So Yan Cheng went to the main hall to have tea, and Concubine Liu Xian talked with him. The followers carried the gifts in and waited in the yard.

Yan Cheng held the cup with one hand and the lid with the other, and asked in a low voice that could not be heard from outside: "Why did my aunt ask my mother and the others to bump into it? I'm very worried."

Concubine Liu showed guilt: "Since we came back to the capital, we have never left the door. Yesterday, Xier said she wanted to see the lights, but I felt soft-hearted and agreed. I wanted to leave after looking at it, but unexpectedly, a playboy was dependent on it, which alarmed your parents. Ah Cheng, I'm sorry, it was my aunt who was willful."

Her attitude was so low that Yan Cheng could blame him, so he could only say, "Forget it, the result is not bad. Aunt, your whereabouts have passed the clear road, and you should have an order in a few days. In this way, you can return to the palace."

Concubine Liu Xian nodded.

Yan Cheng glanced at her and said, "Is my mother okay with her aunt? She didn't feel embarrassed at all. She even asked me to send gifts for the holidays, and even asked me to call her aunt."

Concubine Liu moved her lips and felt secretly annoyed. She felt last night that when Dong asked him to call her aunt, the kid was moved.

So she sighed: "Yes, she was the same with your mother back then."

Yan Cheng's brows jumped, his face showing displeasure: "Auntie..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Xianfei immediately continued: "How she does not matter to me. As long as she treats you well, I will rot in my stomach and never make things difficult for her."

Yan Cheng was finally satisfied and said warmly: "My mother is kind by nature. There may be another reason for what happened back then, and it is unknown whether my aunt misunderstood it." He paused and said, "My status has not been shaken at the moment, so my aunt does not have to worry too much."

This is to dislike her for being too much! Concubine Liu Xian felt powerless and became angry. This Dong family is really good at bribing people's hearts. Seeing how King Zhao treated her, he had long forgotten the vows he had made back then? And Yan Cheng knew that she was not the biological mother, and he actually believed him.

However, this is nothing. She has endured it for so many years in the late emperor's palace. What can I bear to it now?

Concubine Liu smiled and replied softly: "It's good that you know what you know. My aunt doesn't understand the affairs of the government, I just hope you can be safe and smooth."

Yan Cheng nodded with a smile, and did not say more, and stood up to say goodbye.

Concubine Liu Xian watched him leave until she left the alley before turning back and entering the door.

As soon as the door was closed, Liu Xier couldn't wait: "Auntie, can we really go back to the palace?"

Concubine Liu returned to the room and sat in front of the window for makeup. She applied the mouth fat that had just been wiped off again and drew a little eyebrows. She suddenly became vivid and she had the style of Concubine Xian in the palace in the past.

"Just returning to the palace, is this little thing worth being so happy?"

Liu Xier was stunned: "Auntie...is there any big deal?"

Concubine Liu Xian threw down her eyebrow pencil and admired the beautiful face in the mirror: "Your cousin is too trusting. Now that King Zhao has not really taken the position, Dong will certainly not be in a hurry. Only when she and her son completely disappear, your cousin's status is stable."

...

When Yan Ling woke up, there was darkness around him.

He blinked, not knowing where he was.

The headrest is soft and warm, and you can hear subtle breathing sounds above.

Wait! Breathing sound!

Yan Ling was so scared that she crawled and shouted: "Who?!"

The air was quiet for a moment, and Xu Yin's voice sounded: "Xiaoman, light the light!"

"Oh!" Xiaoman's response came downstairs, and soon, she came up with the candlelight.

All the lights on the lampstand were lit, and the room was full of light.

Xu Yin rubbed his numb legs while looking over dissatisfiedly.

When she saw Yan Ling, whose hands were standing back on the ground and her face was so scared that she was pale, her dissatisfaction turned into astonishment, and then she burst out laughing.

"What expression do you have? It seems like you have been molested."

It was sure it was her, and Yan Ling's three souls and seven spirits slowly returned and sat up: "Oh, it's good if there is no one else..."

Xu Yin thought for a while and looked at him: "Why are you?"

"I thought..." Yan Ling touched her dangerous eyes, stopped it in time, and laughed dryly, "No. Am I sleeping confused? My mind didn't turn around."

He was scared to death and thought he had made a mistake in a daze. He couldn't blame him for not having even a female fly in his house before, so he would never have thought of waking up with a girl beside him.

It’s a pity to think about it. If I weren’t scared just now, would I get tired of it for a while? I finally had the opportunity to get close to you... Alas, why are you so unsuccessful!

Yan Ling slapped himself in anger.

"What are you doing?" Xu Yin was startled by him.

"Nothing, there are mosquitoes."

Xu Yin gave him a blank look. Where did the mosquitoes come from in the middle of winter?

The numbness of her legs came to an end. She slowly got up and said, "When you wake up, hurry up and go back, it's dark."

"Oh." Yan Ling responded dryly, watching her dress, then smooth her hair, walked to the stairs, turned her head and looked at him in confusion: "Why don't you leave?"

"Here you come!" He hurriedly followed.

When he went to the study to say goodbye, Xu Huan snorted from his nose: "I understand."

Yan Ling felt guilty and didn't dare to say anything. She bowed again and left in shame.

Xu Yin sent him out, but soon turned around and asked with a smile: "Is my father angry with him?"

Xu Huan stared at the book, not knowing if he was reading: "It's dark and he won't leave, it's so irresponsible!"

Xu Yin said: "He hasn't rested for many days. He finally relaxed for two days, and I can't bear to wake him up."

Xu Huan hummed again: "You are still protecting him."

Is this jealous? Xu Yin laughed and went over to act coquettishly: "Oh, isn't my father indulging me? What happened in the mansion can escape your eyes and ears? You didn't send anyone to call me, so I felt sorry for him!"

Xu Huan couldn't hold back and smiled, and clicked on her forehead: "It's you who feel sorry for your father!"
