We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 436 Since you're all here, let's have a cup of tea together.

Xiao Mo truly hadn't expected this.

The woman he was marrying, the daughter of the Yan family, turned out to be the same girl he had met several times.

However, upon closer reflection, Xiao Mo felt that he should have noticed something when he first saw her in the palace.

At that time, there was only Empress Dowager Yan in the harem. The women who could enter the harem were naturally Empress Dowager Yan's relatives or friends.

In addition, it happened to be only a few days after he got engaged to a woman from the Yan family.

Therefore, it was normal for Yan Ruxue to visit Empress Dowager Yan in the palace.

“Indeed, it has been a long time since I last saw you, Miss.” Xiao Mo put down the jade scale and sat down next to Yan Ruxue. “It seems that Miss and I are truly destined to meet.”

Yan Ruxue smiled gently, her beautiful eyes fluttering beneath her long eyelashes, like a butterfly fluttering its wings.

"Does Your Majesty not think that what happened in the palace was something I did on purpose? And that my two meetings with Your Majesty afterward were also because the Empress Dowager knew Your Majesty's itinerary, so she deliberately leaked it to me so that I could 'accidentally' meet Your Majesty and win your favor?"

"no need."

Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head in reply.

"My current situation, even if it's not easy to say openly, is clear to most people, even ordinary folks."

"Your Yan family feels that marrying you to me is a bit of a waste for you. Besides, I have already agreed to the marriage arranged by the Empress Dowager, and it cannot be changed. So why do you need to deliberately try to win my favor?"

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Yan Ruxue nodded slightly, remaining silent and tacitly agreeing.

A brief silence fell over the room, and for a moment neither of them knew how to continue the conversation.

Yan Ruxue raised her head, looked at the wine cup on the table, and slowly said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Shouldn't we drink this nuptial wine?"

"It's time to drink."

Xiao Mo stood up and poured two glasses of wine.

Yan Ruxue took the wine glass from Xiao Mo's hand, and the two linked arms, drinking the crystal-clear wine in one gulp.

When the two put down their wine glasses, Yan Ruxue lowered her head, a faint blush rising on her fair cheeks.

Even though Yan Ruxue usually appears calm and composed, she felt a little nervous on the most important night of her life.

A woman in red, her heart fluttering with first love, is most captivating on her wedding night.

As a normal man, Xiao Mo's heart naturally raced as he looked at Yan Ruxue's profile.

Just then, a gust of evening wind blew past the windowsill, extinguishing all the candles on the table.

The hazy moonlight shone through the window, and the bright moonlight fell on Yan Ruxue's cheeks.

Perhaps the bed curtains weren't properly hooked up.

The red gauze curtain slipped from the hook and slowly fell, obscuring the two of them.

Everything outside seemed to be shut out by the light gauze, and the two sat on the bed, the atmosphere gradually becoming more and more enchanting.

Xiao Mo slowly approached. Yan Ruxue blinked, closed her eyes, and slightly raised her chin. Her thin lips, painted with rouge, gleamed in the candlelight.

When Xiao Mo placed his hands on Yan Ruxue's fair and delicate shoulders, he could feel her body tremble slightly.

The two drew closer to each other, and Xiao Mo could already smell Yan Ruxue's faint breath.

Si Li, standing outside the door, sensed something was wrong.

She felt she should make a move.

If she didn't intervene soon, her master might be completely taken advantage of by this mortal woman. But just as Si Li was about to use her magic to control this woman from the Yan family, her Dao heart frantically warned her.

Si Li stood motionless, feeling an extremely terrifying spiritual pressure.

Meanwhile, in the room, just as Xiao Mo was about to touch Yan Ruxue's thin lips...

Xiao Mo felt his consciousness rapidly blurring, a feeling akin to the sudden surge of alcohol over him.

In just a moment, Xiao Mo lost consciousness, his head slumped down, and he leaned against Yan Ruxue's high, soft embrace.

Yan Ruxue held her beloved in her arms, her slender fingers gently stroking his hair.

Her eyelids lowered slightly as she looked tenderly at the man in her arms, as if he were her most precious possession, afraid he would leave again, afraid he would be damaged or broken.
A fragrant breeze blew by, and Si Li felt drowsy. If she didn't want to sleep, she could simply use her spiritual power to resist it.

But if we do that, it will definitely be discovered.

After weighing her options, Si Li, despite being very curious about who had come to Ningxue Palace, finally gave up resisting and collapsed at the doorway, following the scent.

Besides Si Li, all the palace maids guarding the door were also lying unconscious on the ground, and none of them were awake.

"It is rather inappropriate for a young lady to be a guest at my Ningxue Palace tonight."

Yan Ruxue spoke calmly, her tone gentle throughout.

Her gaze remained fixed on Xiao Mo's face, never shifting away.

As Yan Ruxue finished speaking, the door opened, and Qin Siyao entered the room. Standing before Yan Ruxue, she bowed slightly and said, "Siyao greets Sister Yan."

Yan Ruxue gently placed Xiao Mo, whom she was holding, on the bed, covered him with a blanket, placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and slowly stood up to stand face to face with Qin Siyao.

Under the moonlight, a gentle breeze blew by, and two women dressed in red looked at each other, their clothes swaying slightly, their long hair clinging to their slender waists.

The two women stood gracefully, resembling a beautiful woman in the moonlight.

Although the two did not utter a single word, it was as if they had spoken a thousand words in that silence.

"Well then, since Miss Qin is here, please have a seat."

Yan Ruxue made a "please" gesture.

"Siyao thanks you, sister."

Qin Siyao did not refuse and sat down in the chair.

Yan Ruxue poured Qin Siyao a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

"Actually, you shouldn't call me 'sister,'" Yan Ruxue said with a smile to Qin Siyao. "In reality, Miss Qin is quite a bit older than me, isn't she?"

When Yan Ruxue finished speaking, Qin Siyao's eyes widened slightly, then her smile became even brighter:

"Sister Ruxue, what are you saying? Siyao has only been alive for twenty years, how could she be older than you? Siyao should be calling you sister."

Hearing Qin Siyao's explanation, Yan Ruxue didn't pay much attention. She simply sipped her tea and said, "Since Siyao insists, then Ruxue will say nothing more. We all know what's going on."

"In comparison..."

Yan Ruxue tucked her hair behind her ear with her sleeve and looked out the window.

A woman in a white dress sat on the windowsill, holding a long sword in her hand.

"Since Sect Leader Jiang is here, why are you still sitting there? Won't you come down and have a cup of tea with us?"
