Jiang Qingyan quickly leaned down and kissed Lin Zhijie's thin lips, murmuring, "Don't say such discouraging things anymore. You're so well-behaved and sensible, everyone likes you very much. Besides, you're not a hundred-yuan bill, it's impossible for everyone to like you as much as I do. You just need to remember, you are my man, and as long as I like you, that's enough."
Lin Zhijie felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this, and his eyes brightened even more. He smiled and said, "My husband, you are so good... In the next life, and the next, and the next... I will marry you..."
Jiang Qingyan chuckled and nodded, "Okay, marry me for all eternity, and don't go back on your word!"
Lin Zhijie raised his right hand, hooked his little finger together, and said playfully, "Pinky promise~"
Jiang Qingyan also raised her right hand and hooked her pinky finger with his, saying affectionately, "Okay, pinky promise~"
Back at Chaoyang Palace, Mo Ting and Xuan Ye sat silently in front of the stone benches in the courtyard, lost in thought.
It wasn't until dinner time, when everyone entered the Chaoyang Palace, that the two of them snapped out of their thoughts and greeted them.
Upon entering the house and finding Jiang Qingyan absent, Lu Nian asked in confusion, "Dinner is ready, where is my husband? Why hasn't he returned yet?"
Mo Ting took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "She went to Feng Hua Palace... She won't be coming back to dine with us anytime soon..."
After saying that, she looked at Liang Cheng and said softly, "Send someone to Fenghua Palace to deliver another meal from the small kitchen. I'm afraid my husband won't be used to the food from the imperial kitchen."
Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng nodded quickly, ran to the small kitchen, picked up the food, and personally delivered it over.
Delivering meals to her husband, of course, should be something he does himself…
Shen Yuan, sitting on the table, sneered, "Heh, it's Feng Hua Palace again... That one from Feng Hua Palace really has some tricks up her sleeve. From the day she entered the palace, she has been able to enjoy her husband's exclusive favor. Unlike us? We don't compete or fight, we just wait for our husbands to arrange the days for us to serve him."
Yuan Lie frowned and said, "He already has exclusive favor, so how can there be a set schedule for his nights with you?"
He was quite pitiful. As the king of Yuan, he only spent one night with Jiang Qingyan, and from then on he had to skip work and stay in the harem of Da'an, eagerly waiting for the day she had arranged for him to serve him in bed.
I had planned to spend the night making the most of my time before returning to the Yuan Kingdom to handle state affairs, but this day of serving the emperor has been postponed again and again, and now it seems to be indefinitely postponed...
A country cannot be without a ruler for even a day; it's more important to go back and take care of important business first…
He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Mo Ting in a deep voice, "Empress, please tell my husband that I am going back to Yuan Kingdom to handle government affairs. I will return on the day I am to serve him in bed."
Having said that, he flew away from the palace and led the Yuan army back to the Yuan Kingdom in a grand procession.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Yuxuan put down his chopsticks, left the palace, and returned to the Xia Kingdom.
Seeing that Yun Yuxuan had left, everyone turned their attention to Xiao Yan.
Seeing that he showed no sign of leaving, Gulimi teased, "Even your emperor has gone back, why are you still staying here?"
Xiao Yan expressionlessly picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly and swallowed it, and said calmly, "He is him, and I am me. The Emperor has not yet fulfilled his promise of reward to me, so naturally I cannot leave."
Gulimi pouted and said, "Tch~ If you want to marry my husband, just say so..."
Xiao Yan ignored him and continued eating with his head down.
With their husbands absent, the others lost their appetites, ate only a few vegetables, and then returned to their respective palaces.
Inside the Fenghua Palace, Jiang Qingyan was sitting by the bedside, carefully applying medicine to Lin Zhijie.
Suddenly, Liang Cheng's voice came from outside the door. He knocked and said softly, "Husband, I've brought you some food..."
Jiang Qingyan quickly got out of bed and ran to open the door, her face beaming with excitement. "Liang Cheng, you're such a sweetheart! I was just starving when you came!"
Liang Cheng placed the food on the table and asked with concern, "Husband, how is Zhijie's foot? May I go and see him?"
Jiang Qingyan nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course! He'll be so happy to see you!"
After saying that, she took Liang Cheng's hand and walked with him to the bedside.
Lin Zhijie turned her head to look at Liang Cheng, her face full of excitement, and said, "Brother Liang Cheng, you've come to see me!"
Liang Cheng looked anxiously at Lin Zhijie's ankle and asked with concern, "Zhijie, how's your ankle? Does it hurt a lot?"
He had long regarded Lin Zhijie as his younger brother, and since his own younger brother had become lame due to a foot injury that had not been treated in time, he was particularly worried about Lin Zhijie's injury.
Lin Zhijie shook his head and reassured him, "Don't worry, Brother Liang Cheng, my foot doesn't hurt anymore after using the imperial physician's medicine."
Liang Cheng still stared at Lin Zhijie's ankle with unease, afraid that he was pretending to be fine to reassure him...
Seeing that Liang Cheng was still lingering, Lin Zhijie quickly clutched her stomach and looked at Jiang Qingyan with a smile, "Husband... I'm so hungry I'm hallucinating! I can even smell delicious food!"
Liang Cheng quickly said, "Look at me, I was so worried about Jie's foot injury that I forgot why I came here... I'll leave now, you all should eat quickly, the food won't taste good if it gets cold..."
Lin Zhijie pursed her lips and said, "Brother Liang Cheng, don't go. I can still bear it a little longer. You've come all this way to see me, and I wanted to talk to you a little longer..."
Liang Cheng chuckled and said, "How can that be? Going hungry won't do you any good for your foot injury. During the days you're resting in bed, I'll personally bring you meals every day, and we'll have plenty of time to talk."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhijie's eyes flashed with surprise, "You personally deliver every meal? Isn't that too much trouble for Brother Liang Cheng..."
Liang Cheng shook his head. "It's alright. I can still chat with you whenever I come over."
Lin Zhijie's lips trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled as she watched Liang Cheng leave.
After Liang Cheng left, Jiang Qingyan brought the food to the bedside and had dinner with Lin Zhijie.
Lin Zhijie felt incredibly happy at that moment and couldn't help but sigh, "How wonderful it would be if I could dine alone with my husband every day..."
Jiang Qingyan raised her index finger and gently flicked the tip of his nose, chuckling softly, "Silly boy, you're happy so easily?"
Lin Zhijie nodded repeatedly, saying, "Most men in the world have three wives and four concubines, but my dream since childhood has always been to have only one person for life. It's just a pity... I fell in love with a philandering scoundrel..."
Jiang Qingyan coughed awkwardly and said, "Um... the weather's nice today, and the beef's good too... let's eat quickly, the vegetables will get cold soon..."
Hearing Jiang Qingyan's unparalleled words, Lin Zhijie sighed softly and said, "My husband is not only a womanizer, but also a master at changing the subject!"
After the two finished eating, Jiang Qingyan took off her outer garment and lay down beside Lin Zhijie.
After I gently closed my eyes, a pair of cold, thin lips pressed against mine…
