Rebirth of the Beautiful Repaying Gratitude: Quick Transmigration and Childbirth System

Chapter 53: The Prodigal Scholar vs. His Enemy Childhood Sweetheart (16)

The mansion of Duke Dingguo was decorated with lights and filled with guests.

Ye Lingxiao, wearing luxurious crown and robes, stood on the high hall, accepting congratulations from all sides.

However, he was extremely anxious.

He and Yu'er were born on the same day. When they were young, they agreed to hold their coming-of-age and capping ceremonies on the same day.

But Yuer's coming-of-age ceremony was postponed due to injury, while his own coming-of-age ceremony had to be held as scheduled.

The Empress Dowager in the palace refused to agree to an extension no matter what.

It is not said that a man's coming of age is a major event. The Imperial Observatory had already selected the date three years ago, and now all the royal relatives have sent invitations, and no changes are allowed.

Ye Lingxiao sighed at this time.

He had no interest in his coming-of-age ceremony and just wanted it to be over quickly so he could go see his little girl.

After the coming-of-age ceremony was over and everyone left.

Ye Lingxiao walked straight towards his parents and knelt on his knees.

"Father, Mother, I am an unfilial child and have caused you two a lot of work. Now that I have grown up, I will definitely cause you less worries in the future."

Upon seeing this, Princess Ling Jinxuan hurried forward to help her son up, her eyes full of heartache.

"Xiao'er, why are you doing this? Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

"Father and mother, after Qianyu recovers from her injury, I would like to ask you to come forward and ask for her hand in marriage on my behalf. I hope you will agree to this."

"That's great, Xiao'er, don't worry. Mother has treated Qianyu as her own daughter since she was young. Mother will definitely help you hold the most grand wedding and let everyone in the capital know that my precious son has married the best girl."

The eldest princess was so surprised that she burst into tears.

My poor child finally figured it out. She had been worried to death these days.

Ever since Xiao'er died without an heir, I don't know how many handkerchiefs I have wet with my secret tears.

Duke Dingguo patted his wife's back gently, comforting her with concern.

"Jinxuan, don't cry. The child has grown up. This is a happy event. Later, Madam will have to work hard to prepare Xiao'er's betrothal gifts and wedding.

"I'm so happy, why should I worry about the hardship?"

Seeing that the eldest princess finally burst into laughter, the father and son both breathed a sigh of relief.

As night fell, Ye Lingxiao changed into a black brocade robe and stepped into Liu Qianyu's Qiluo Garden again.

In the room, the candlelight flickered. Liu Qianyu sat leaning on the bed and saw Ye Lingxiao push the door open.

Bright and clear, handsome and elegant, as beautiful as jade, a young man unparalleled in the world, this is what he looks like.

"Brother, you are here."

Liu Qianyu smiled sweetly at him.

"You're not injured yet, why don't you lie down!"

Ye Lingxiao walked quickly to the bedside and said softly with concern.

Liu Qianyu shook her head.

"I'm fine. I feel uncomfortable if I lie down for too long. My brother has become more handsome since he came of age.

Ye Lingxiao saw her looking at him with a charming and innocent look, and her ears turned slightly red.

"How is the new maid taking care of you today?"

"Yeah, it's good, but I'm not used to it. Let Bi Yao and the others come back after they recover from their injuries. It was me who told them to bring fewer guards, and they risked their lives to protect us, so don't punish them."

Liu Qianyu took the opportunity to plead for mercy.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

His little girl is too soft-hearted.

"Yu'er, this is a gift to celebrate your coming of age. I drew the pattern myself."

He gently took Liu Qianyu's hand and opened an exquisite box.

Inside is a complete set of head jewelry.

Each one has its own characteristics, yet they complement each other.

One of the hairpins is made of white jade and carved into the shape of a blooming lotus. The petals are as thin as cicada wings and crystal clear, and you can almost smell the faint lotus fragrance.

The other hairpin is woven with gold threads into a vine-like shape, entwined with several small pearls and jadeite. It is light and agile, like an elf jumping in the woods.

There are also matching headbands and earrings, with patterns interwoven with light-colored gemstones, the colors are elegant and complement the entire set of jewelry.

"So lovely."

There was a gleam of surprise in Liu Qianyu's eyes, indicating that she liked it very much.

"Come, let me comb your hair, just like we used to do when we were little."

Ye Lingxiao sat down beside the bed and said gently.

Liu Qianyu leaned her head over obediently.

The three thousand strands of black hair were like the finest silk, naturally falling to the waist, with a faint luster.

Let Ye Lingxiao's fingers shuttle through her hair.

Ye Lingxiao pulled up her long hair and tied it loosely into a bun, then gently put a hairpin in it for her.

The hairpin shimmered softly under the light.

Liu Qianyu's face was beautiful and extraordinary, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, her lips were like cherry blossoms, and her skin was like solidified fat.

The contrast with this simple jade hairpin further highlights her extraordinary beauty.

Breathtakingly beautiful.

Ye Lingxiao's eyes were full of amazement and obsession.

He gently held the little girl's hand and looked at her lovingly.

"My little girl has grown up and is so beautiful."

"Brother, I will also bring you the coming-of-age gift."

She is a beauty with unparalleled appearance. When she lowers her head slightly, her eyes are full of affection like the flowing green waves.

The words were spoken in a delicate and shy manner, and her soft jade was smoking.

Ye Lingxiao looked at her, his eyes dimmed and his throat moved up and down.

"it is good."

Liu Qianyu took out an exquisite wooden box from the pillow and handed it to Ye Lingxiao.

Ye Lingxiao opened it and took a look.

Inside was a delicate yet elegant jade crown, as smooth as jade, exuding a sense of nobility.

"This is also the pattern I drew. I thought I would never have the chance to put it on you."

There was a hint of shyness in Liu Qianyu's voice.

Ye Lingxiao blocked her mouth and kissed her greedily.

I can't bear to hear words like "no chance" anymore.

Liu Qianyu closed her eyes and let him absorb her breath madly.

Ye Lingxiao didn't let her go until he calmed down.

Liu Qianyu picked up the jade crown and put it on him.

She stared at Ye Lingxiao, her eyes full of tenderness and admiration.

"Brother, wearing this jade crown, looks so majestic and elegant."

Ye Lingxiao held up the little girl's face and said seriously, "Yu'er, I like it very much. This is the best gift I have ever received."

After saying that, he immediately leaned over and gave her another passionate kiss on the lips.

"When you hold your coming-of-age ceremony, I will come to ask for your hand in marriage."

"But I once said that I would marry you after you became the top scholar." Liu Qianyu pouted and said coquettishly.

Ye Lingxiao chuckled, scratched her nose, and felt completely soft-hearted.

"Okay, okay, my little ancestor, I will give you whatever you want. I will definitely help you pass the imperial examination and get you the top scorer, but let's settle your marriage first. When I pass the imperial examination, you will be the wife of the top scorer."

"Who is your wife? You have no shame. The top scholar said you can pass the exam if you take it."

"As a top scholar, even if you want to be the empress, I will definitely take the throne away from you."

Ye Lingxiao felt that as long as the girl wanted it, being the top scholar was nothing and could be easily obtained.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The throne belongs to your cousin."

Liu Qian was so angry that she hit him.

Her other mission was to help Ye Lingxiao pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, so as to assist the crown prince in ascending the throne and maintaining stability in the court.

Could this bastard dare to usurp the throne?!

"I was wrong and said nonsense. Little ancestor, your injury has not healed yet, move gently." Ye Lingxiao apologized hurriedly.

He held her hand and kissed her lovingly.

"Don't hurt your hands, my cousin the Crown Prince is not as important as my wife."

Liu Qianyu was so angry that she laughed. Fortunately, the prince didn't hear her nonsense.

Ye Lingxiao stared at the little girl's smile, unable to take his eyes away.

She was really beautiful when she smiled, and her eyes were as bright as if they were filled with broken stars.

When they were young, whenever they had disagreements, she would always laugh and act like a spoiled brat, telling him, "If you don't agree with me, I'll ignore you."

Then he backed away again and again because of her delicate tone.

In the end, the bottom line was basically shattered into pieces and disappeared.

Now he has no way to deal with this little ancestor.

No need to act coquettishly, just one look and he will surrender.

What’s the big deal about being the top scholar? I’m already talented. The worst that can happen is I can just rely on my uncle the emperor. Anyway, Yu’er must be his wife.

in the following days.

While Ye Lingxiao was preparing for the top scholar exam, he was also taking good care of Liu Qianyu's injuries.

Even Li Yunni said when she came to visit that Ye Lingxiao seemed like a different person.

It is said that Ye Lingxiao is a well-known playboy in Beijing, and he has not been seen going to brothels recently.

I heard that he is working hard at home.
