Emperor Yan and his party didn't take a long stroll, they walked around the palace a few times, and it was almost time for lunch.

Everyone followed Yanhuang back to the palace.

Emperor Yan and the crown prince and princess both had the habit of sleeping peacefully for an hour after lunch.

After lunch together, Emperor Yan went back to his bedroom to rest.

Everyone followed behind and returned to the bedroom to rest.

When Xia Qiulian was about to go back to her room to rest, she happened to see Concubine Xian with two court ladies watching the lake view in the corridor.

Since the last time Xia Qiulian beat Concubine Xian in public, she originally thought that according to Concubine Xian's temperament, she would redouble her retaliation, but she never thought that during the past half month, Concubine Xian stayed in her bedroom obediently, let alone Trouble with her, even if I haven't seen her a few times.

Xia Qiulian didn't think Concubine Xian had changed her mind.

When Xia Qiulian passed by, the little maid next to Concubine Xian caught a glimpse of her, and leaned against Concubine Xian's ear, whispering something.

Concubine Xian slowly turned her head, there was no expression on that delicate and immature face, only those big dark eyes, looking at Xia Qiulian coldly.

Qing Yuan, who was following Xia Qiulian, saw Concubine Xian, trembled, and hid beside Lu Ruan in a panic, not daring to poke her head out to see Concubine Xian.

"Don't be afraid, the lady is here."

Lu Ruan comforted her in a low voice, stretched out her hand to touch her head, and tried her best to block Xian Concubine's gaze with her body, preventing Yuan Yuan from seeing her.

Qingyuan is terrified of Concubine Xian now. Last time, Concubine Xian used rude excuses to disrespect her master for no reason, so she almost drowned in the water.

Since then, she, who was originally fluent in water, became afraid of water, which shows how much the last experience hurt her.

Xia Qiulian didn't make a sound all the way, and when she saw Concubine Xian, she bowed her head slightly and saluted from a distance, regardless of her eyes.

Concubine Xian didn't move, but there was a weird smile on her lips. She stared at Xia Qiulian with deep eyes, watching Xia Qiulian leave step by step.

It wasn't until the bedroom door was closed that Qing Yuan finally relaxed, but her expression, which was lively at first, became a lot more sluggish. Most of the time, she stopped making noise and sat quietly.

Xia Qiulian was distressed and guilty, so she could only comfort her softly, and then called Lu Ruan to take her down to rest first, so as to calm her mind.

Lu Ruan took Qing Yuan to rest, except for the two eunuchs guarding the door, there was no one waiting in the palace for the time being, only Xia Qiulian was sitting at the table with an ancient scroll in his hand.

It's just that Xia Qiulian looked like he was reading a book, and his eyes also fell on the black ink characters on the yellowed paper, but the time for a stick of incense passed, and Xia Qiulian never turned the page.

She seemed to be in a daze.

Xia Qiulian was indeed in a daze, she still couldn't let go of the face she saw through the curtain of the car today.

Jiang asked.

Is he really here?

How did he take the opportunity to break away from Jiang Country and come to Yan Country?

Aren't the eldest prince and his father restraining him? Could it be that the eldest prince and his father have fallen behind.

Xia Qiulian was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even hear the eunuch's voice outside the door, or the sound of footsteps pushing in.

She didn't realize it until a white palm flashed past her eyes in front of the book.

Wearing a white dress, Yan Wanting, whose blue hair was scattered like a waterfall, was hugging a jade pillow, standing in front of her with a half-smile, squinting at her.

"Qiu Lian is reading He Shu. She is so engrossed in reading it that I didn't even notice when I pushed the door open."

Yan Wanting held the jade pillow in his arms, and poked his head mischievously towards the edge of Xia Qiulian's water.

"Thirty-six tricks, beauty tricks?" Yan Wanting raised his lips jokingly, looking down at the book in Xia Qiulian's hand, with the eye-catching words on it.

Xia Qiulian looked down, and she really saw the word "beauty trick". She pursed her lips slightly, closed the book, and asked calmly.

"Isn't Your Highness resting? Why are you here?"

"I'm afraid Qiu Lian won't believe it. I was very sleepy at first, and I just wanted to lie down on the bed and have a good sleep. Who knows that in a daze, I just felt something cold and slippery walking past my feet. I was frightened for a moment, opened the brocade quilt, and only then realized that there was this little white snake entrenched in my bed, which almost made me faint from fright."

Yan Wanting frowned and told about the frightening thing he had just encountered.

But Xia Qiulian saw that although Yan Wanting was frowning, his eyes were bright, and the smile on the corner of his lips was also somewhat interesting.

He knew that Yan Wanting was not scared, but he was very happy.

"Then His Highness was bitten by that white snake." Xia Qiulian asked softly with concern, her gaze also lowered slightly, and fell on Yan Banting's long legs covered by the hem of her clothes.

"It's just a little milk snake with no teeth. It's only the size of a finger. It bites people without pain or itching." Yan Wanting smiled slightly, and put his hand in front of Xia Qiulian's eyes.

Xia Qiulian was taken aback for a moment, and then she saw clearly that Yan Wanting's hand was coiled with a small white snake the size of a finger, with her eyes closed and her head pressed against Yan Wanting's fingertips, as if she was resting.

"you..."

When Xia Qiulian saw the snake in Yan Banting's hand, she got up in a panic, and stepped back a few steps, frowning.

Since she was a child, she didn't like snakes that were cold, slippery and had fangs.

"Could it be that Qiu Lian is still afraid of this little milk snake that just crawled out of the egg."

Yan Wanting squinted her phoenix eyes, looked at Xia Qiulian with a smile, and raised her hand to let Xia Qiulian see more clearly.

"Qiu Lian looked carefully. It looks very beautiful. It is white and clear, and its two eyes are black and dull. It doesn't know how to bite. It's very cute."

"It's a snake, His Highness, it's better to be careful, or ask someone to release this little snake into the deep forest."

Xia Qiulian glanced at the little white snake coiled on Yan Banting's fingertips again, it did not look so scary, the soft mouth curved upwards, as if smiling, and stuck to Yan Banting's finger Jian Zhenghan fell asleep.

"I really like it, and I want to keep it as a pet for a few days, and then release it when it is older. Don't be afraid of Qiu Lian, this little thing doesn't hurt people, if you touch its body, it will be soft and icy Yes, very comfortable."

Yan Wanting smiled, looking at the little white snake very happily, and suggested that Xia Qiulian should pet it.

"Since your Highness has caught this little white snake, why not rest, your Highness is tired when walking in the forest."

Xia Qiulian still refused to touch the little white snake, so she tilted her head and urged in a low voice.

"Although only this little snake was found on the bed, there might be a second and a third. If they didn't clean up the bed, I wouldn't dare to rest on that bed."

Yan Wanting's smile froze, she bit her lip aggrievedly, her phoenix eyes narrowed pitifully.

"That's why I came to Qiulian's bedroom. How about Qiulian letting me rest on your bed today?"
