Feng Xiwu obediently received it, lowering her head and drinking the soup.

Seeing that he was praising her for being thin, she decided to reluctantly drink a little.

After dinner, Qu Jingxi took Feng Xiwu on a stroll in the backyard, as the sky slowly darkened.

At first, Feng Xiwu did not agree. Firstly, she was afraid of the dark, and would normally not go out after dark; secondly, she wanted to finish reading a book she did not finish reading a few days ago. That book was a story, and there were a lot of twists and turns in the story, so she was really looking forward to the ending.

However, Feng Xiwu was clear that the former was the main reason. How could a person who had to light a lamp even when he was sleeping possibly dare to walk in the dark garden? Even with someone by her side, she still refused in her heart.

However, the Prince Jing Lord was still stronger than she had imagined.

However, after a quarter of an hour, the palace's back garden was already as bright as day. All sorts of lanterns hung from grass and trees, and the lifelike sculptures on the corridor were especially bright.

The small rabbit lantern made of white paper shone brightly in the fiery red candlelight, appearing exceptionally adorable.

"It should be fine now, right? My princess. " Qu Jingxi held her small hand and led her to the balcony, looking down from the second floor.

Zhu Qi was speechless on the side. Your Highness, you sent people to search for lanterns in the capital city in the shortest time possible, just so that you could have your imperial concubine accompany you for a walk in the backyard?

It was not the New Year's Eve, so there were very few lanterns. When he thought about how Prince Jing Palace's guards were looking around for lanterns, he realized that scene. He searched the house even more.

At Qu Jingxi's request, the blacksmith made a fence made of fine red wood other than the jumped up. In order to prevent Feng Xiwu's hands from getting pierced by the wooden splinters, she carefully cut and grinded all the wood.

The surroundings were pitch-black, and the palace in the dark night was as bright as day.

Feng Xiwu was startled, her red lips could only utter two words, "You know?"

A questioning tone, a definite guess.

"I've asked Zi Lan. Since you're afraid of the dark, then the Duke Palaces should change because of you." Without you, what use would I have had the manor?

Qu Jingxi answered truthfully. When the time was right, he would pour out everything he had hidden in his heart to her.

Feng Xiwu shook her head. It was not necessary.

"Why, I'm not that important."

"No, you are the princess consort of this palace, the mistress of this palace. Of course you are the most important."

Qu Jingxi retorted. In his heart, nothing was as precious as her.

Even if she wanted the moon in the sky, he would do everything in his power to satisfy her.

However, she … They had only been married for a day, was it really that important? Feng Xiwu looked at the candlelight in the courtyard, lost in thought.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? " Qu Jingxi was a little nervous when he saw the girl beside him lower her head silently. Did he do something wrong?

He thought she'd be happy to see it.

Feng Xiwu lifted her head, revealing a bright and beautiful smile, shaking the man's mind.

"No, everything about Darling isn't wrong. Aren't we going for a walk?" "Then let's hurry up and go down."

The girl's delicate hand was placed in his somewhat rough palm, and when he held it, it was exceptionally soft. Even his heart had softened.

Under the hazy moonlight, the two walked side by side across the brightly lit gravel road.

The wind at night blew against the girl's fiery red skirt, making it seem even more gorgeous than the flowers at the side. Feng Xiwu greedily thought about how great it would be if she could have enough time to stay at this moment.

"..."

"Your majesty, tomorrow the Prince Jing will bring the Prince Jing's concubine into the palace. I wonder what your majesty is going to bestow upon the Prince Jing's consort?"

In the majestic Ming Qin Palace, in the huge side hall, Lu Yanxin who had her hair draped over his shoulders asked as she held onto Qu Yiyu's shoulders.

The corners of her eyes were softer than they had been during the day, and she looked even more like a good wife and mother.

Her mind flashed back to the man who had been in her bedroom a few days ago.

Because he heard that the Third Miss of the Residence was pestering the Prince Jing, he immediately left the morning assembly and rushed to her palace to warn her fiercely.

Long Yan was so angry that he couldn't listen to a word she said. At that time, she almost thought that she wouldn't be able to keep her position as the Empress anymore.

Fortunately, it was just a little bit.

Afterwards, under her coercion, Lu Wanru was grounded by her father and stayed home obediently, not going to cause any trouble at the wedding.

Prince Jing's wedding was very successful.

The people of the capital acted as spectators. It was unknown how many of the ladies in the palace had their eyes red from this.

In fact, the emperor had even personally accepted her father-in-law's tea and offered his blessings to her. He had acknowledged her identity and stood up for her in public.

Lu Yanxin was a little stuffy in her heart, the scene of Prince Jing marrying that daughter of a family of generals was not one bit inferior to the scene of the Emperor marrying her back then.

It was a joyous occasion for all to celebrate together.

How many women yearned for such a wedding?

How could the daughter of a small family of generals suffer such a grand display? She would definitely not let her off easily if she was robbed of her limelight and her little sister's lover!

"I've already thought about this a long time ago. I've already given her a pair of Night Pearls that I paid her last year's tribute. She should like them."

Qu Yiyu replied slowly with his eyes closed.

Although her empress's methods were a bit ruthless, she was still extremely good to him, and her massage techniques were also excellent.

Qu Yiyu thought comfortably.

Lu Yanxin clenched her teeth, that was a tribute given by the Southern Beams, from the deep ocean floor. She only had one, why would she give two of them to that woman right after she arrived?

"Your Majesty, those pearls are no more than a single pearls compared to normal pearls that can only be obtained once every few hundred years. Then wouldn't it be inappropriate for Prince Jing's consort to present her with such a huge gift?"

A man in a yellow robe calmly frowned. At this time, this woman couldn't care less about these things, and she was even the direct daughter of the Prime Minister. She had no brains at all.

"It's just a wedding, why don't you give us something to celebrate? Besides, it's just two pearls, when did the Royal Family become so poor?"

The jealousy in his heart grew even stronger, but on the surface, it was still soft and weak. "Your majesty is right. Your consort is stupid."

"Tomorrow, you will go with me to meet them. Although you are not the biological mother of Brook, you are still the mother of a nation after all. You still have to put on airs on the surface."

Qu Yiyu thought about it, and still decided to let her follow.

He couldn't lose face for the imperial family. If his son and daughter-in-law came to visit, how would there be a mother-in-law who wouldn't be present, even if she was just a nominal mother-in-law.

"Yes," A trace of viciousness flashed across Lu Yanxin's face, "Your Majesty, it's late in the night.

The man replied as he got up and rubbed his sore waist. "All these years, Zhen's health has been getting worse and worse. Sigh, the empress will have to trouble you to pay more attention to his harem."

Lu Yanxin chuckled, "How could that be? As a queen, managing a harem is something that chenqie should do."

The emperor's body seemed to be on the verge of collapse. He didn't know how his father was progressing, but he needed them to speed up their pace.

Lu Yanxin helped him walk towards the bed curtain as she thought about it carefully.
