After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

The message she received from Qiu Han today gave Li Yaxuan great hope. She knew that her cousin still cared about her, and she must have asked her to go to the palace to inquire about the progress of the matter.

These days, Li Yaxuan has returned to her previous life. In order to reduce her chances of meeting Ye Hengjing, her mother does not allow her to go out at will.

But if it was her cousin's invitation, her mother would probably not object, and Li Yaxuan could also take this opportunity to go out for a walk.

As if worried that her mother would not believe it, Li Yaxuan took Qiu Han directly to her mother's room and made a request to her.

Qiu Han was one of Lin Qingyao's confidants, so Zhao would naturally not doubt what she said. Li Yaxuan successfully got the opportunity to go out.

After seeing Qiu Han off, Li Yaxuan began to think about how to convince her cousin to stand on her side when she met her tomorrow.

Chenwang Mansion

Lin Qingyao slept like this for the entire morning and was not woken up until Qiuyue woke her up at lunch time.

Lin Qingyao stretched and felt much more refreshed.

"Qiuyue, what time is it?"

"Your Highness, it's already noon, time for lunch."

Lin Qingyao yawned, a little surprised. She didn't expect that she had slept for the whole morning. It was all Jamel Xiao's fault.

Lin Qingyao was not in a hurry to eat, and asked: "Qiuyue, is your sister back? Ask her to come over."

Qiuyue couldn't help laughing when she heard that. A whole morning had passed and her sister had already returned.

But she knew that she couldn't say that when asked by the princess, so she replied, "My sister has returned. I will go and call her now."

Not long after, Qiu Han entered the room, "Meet the princess."

"Qiuhan, did you convey my message? What did Xuan'er say?"

"Your Highness, I have already conveyed the message. My cousin has obtained the permission of the wife of Marquis Wu'an and will come to the palace tomorrow."

Qiu Han's words contained a lot of information. Lin Qingyao was indeed puzzled and asked, "Did you get your aunt's consent?"

"Yes, I don't know why my cousin was not allowed to go out at will recently. Today, I personally went to meet with the wife of Marquis Wu'an and explained the situation, and only then was she allowed."

Lin Qingyao knew very well that this was all Qiu Han knew, so she did not ask any further questions, but in fact she already had the answer in her heart.

If she guessed correctly, Li Yaxuan had already decided on Ye Hengjing, but their relationship was opposed by her aunt as expected. So Li Yaxuan was put under control again to prevent her from meeting Ye Hengjing.

"Okay, I understand. Let's talk about it after I see Xuan'er tomorrow. Qiuhan, I'm really hungry after sleeping for so long. Bring me some food."

"Your Highness, the prince has just returned home. Today's lunch has been prepared in the front hall. You can go there now."

Lin Qingyao was delighted to hear that. Jamel Xiao came back so early today, so they could have lunch together.

"Where is my husband? Why don't I see him after I come back?"

"Princess, the prince came here right after he returned home. Seeing that you were resting, he went to the study without disturbing you. He should be waiting for you in the front hall now."

Lin Qingyao smiled when she heard this, and her resentment towards this "culprit" was slightly alleviated. He was sensible enough not to disturb her rest.

"Qiuhan, let Qiuyue come in and help me change clothes."

"Yes, princess."

Lin Qingyao was wearing a light pink gauze dress today, which perfectly matched her fair skin and made her look particularly well-behaved and cute.

As soon as Lin Qingyao stepped into the main hall, Jamel Xiao came up to her and naturally put his arm around her waist.

Jamel Xiao whispered in Lin Qingyao's ear with a smile: "Madam is dressed so beautifully today. It seems that she is very satisfied with my performance last night. I have to work harder tonight."

Xiao Jingxuan's words made Lin Qingyao blush instantly, and she said angrily: "My husband is getting bolder and bolder now. He said such things in broad daylight. The servants are watching us, and I am not afraid that they will hear it. I can't afford to lose face."

Jamel Xiao smiled when he heard that. He knew that Lin Qingyao was shy and he just wanted to tease her on purpose. Lin Qingyao's reaction at this moment made him very satisfied.

Jamel Xiao said softly, "Madam, don't worry. Those who are here are all your and my confidants. They naturally know what to listen to and what not to listen to. Okay, I won't tease you anymore. It's rare for me to come back and have lunch with you today. I specially asked the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes. You've slept for so long, you must be hungry, right?"

Lin Qingyao felt warm at the words, but couldn't help but said angrily: "How dare you mention it? I slept for so long because of you. These delicious dishes are your compensation to me. Let me have a taste."

Jamel Xiao touched Lin Qingyao’s head lovingly and said with a smile: “Okay, they are all what you like, eat more.”

The couple finished their lunch chatting and laughing, and then spent the whole afternoon together.

Although the two did not feel disturbed during the days Xu Mengfei stayed in Prince Chen's Mansion, they did not have the opportunity to be alone together like this after all.

It's a rare opportunity to have this kind of time to spend together, and both of them cherish it very much.

Perhaps because the two of them had been together most of the day, Jamel Xiao was not so "clingy" that night. The two of them slept in each other's arms, and Lin Qingyao slept very soundly.

The next morning, just after Lin Qingyao finished her breakfast, Li Yaxuan arrived as promised.

"cousin!"

Li Yaxuan was a little excited to see Lin Qingyao, as they had not seen each other for some time.

"Xuan'er, come and sit down. I haven't seen you for a while. I feel like you've lost weight. It seems like you've had a lot of troubles recently. Talk to your cousin about it."

Li Yaxuan sighed when she heard this, and seeing that her cousin went straight to the point, she didn't waste time on "greetings".

"Cousin, I think you have guessed what I have been going through these days, right? Because of what happened between me and Hengjing, the entire mansion is in turmoil, and I am exhausted."

Lin Qingyao nodded when she heard this. "Qiu Han came back yesterday and told me about your situation. She said that your aunt no longer allowed you to go out casually. I had already guessed about 70% of it. It seems that you have finally embarked on the path I was worried about, and you have already encountered considerable obstacles."

"Yes, my cousin was foresighted and had anticipated all of this. Your initial opposition was not unreasonable. Although I also expected that my mother would oppose it, I didn't expect her to be so determined. It was only after I really embarked on this path that I deeply realized how great the obstacles were and how difficult this road was to walk."

Lin Qingyao did not say anything to comfort him, but asked seriously: "So, Xuan'er, do you regret it now? Do you regret making this decision? Do you still want to insist on taking this difficult path?"

Li Yaxuan blurted out without any hesitation: "No, I don't regret it. Even if this road is difficult, I will stick to it. This is my own choice, and I will never back down."
