The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

The smile on Hongli's face visibly froze for a moment.

He had already arranged with Qingying that after returning from the palace tonight, they would go to her courtyard to admire the moon together. They would take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to hold a small banquet and have a good talk.

And while we're at it, let's make up for the wedding night we missed.

But looking at his wife in front of him, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

It is an unspoken rule in the royal family and the residences of relatives that the first and fifteenth of the lunar month are spent in the main courtyard of the primary consort. Especially today, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace has just held a family banquet, and the Emperor has specially bestowed gifts upon the primary consort.

...and he had just said that he would live a good life with his wife from now on.

His words were still ringing in my ears. To refuse now would not only be a slap in the face to the princess, but also a slap in my own face.

Hongli's expression shifted rapidly.

If Ruo Fu squinted at him, and the man showed that kind of expression, he was probably plotting something he didn't want to be seen by others.

Hongli sensed his wife's displeasure and quickly weighed his options before finally saying solemnly, "Today is the fifteenth, so I will naturally stay in the main courtyard."

Ruofu chuckled inwardly, knowing that he was weighing the pros and cons, but he didn't say anything more.

Who cares why they stayed? Just stay.

She leaned back against the soft pillows, satisfied.

The carriage drove all the way back to the Prince's Palace.

After returning to the hospital, Ruofu first went to bathe and change his clothes.

Hongli stood in the outer room, listening to the faint sound of water coming from the direction of the washroom. He looked around, then suddenly pulled Wang Qin and sneaked to a corner of the outer corridor.

Seeing that no one was around, Hongli lowered his voice even further and said, "Go and tell Qingying that I am here today..."

Hongli paused.

Wang Qin lowered his head and waited respectfully for a long time, until his neck was almost sore, but he still didn't hear anything more.

He could only ask cautiously, "What's wrong with Your Highness today?"

Hongli glared at him: "Do I have to teach you? Figure out your own excuse!"

Wang Qin immediately felt a pang of bitterness.

Hongli considered himself a kind and lenient ruler. After a moment's thought, he said, "If all else fails, just say that I am feeling a little unwell."

Wang Qin subconsciously replied, "Still having lower back pain?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Hongli slowly turned his head, and under the moonlight, his face was so dark it was almost dripping with water.

Wang Qin then realized what he had said and knelt down with a thud: "This servant deserves to die!"

"roll!"

Hongli's temple throbbed with anger: "Think of a suitable excuse yourself! If you can't handle it well, don't bother coming back tonight!"

Wang Qin ran away as fast as he could.

-

When Hongli returned to his room, Ruofu had already finished bathing.

She changed into a light pink nightgown and sat in front of the mirror while Chen Guang applied perfume to her.

Hongli paused slightly in his steps.

Come here.

They should have stayed in the main courtyard tonight. Besides, the reason why the Princess Consort is so insistent on the rules is ultimately because she cares about him.

If you don't care about him at all, why bother asking him where he's staying tonight?

As Hongli thought about it, he gradually felt more at ease.

He walked over to Ruofu, and a faint, sweet scent mingled with the steam from his bath, gently wafting over him. A thought stirred within him, and he casually asked, "What incense is burning in the room? It smells quite nice."

Hongli pretended to be nonchalant and leaned closer, placing his hands on her shoulders as well: "The scent is sweet but not cloying, unlike ordinary incense."

Sensing the subtle tension that was rising between them, Zhaoying and Chenguang exchanged a glance, and the two wisely put down what they were holding and led the maids out.

The door closed, leaving only the couple inside.

Hongli waited a long time for Ruofu's response, assuming she was shy. A slight smile played on his lips, and he was about to press his advantage when he suddenly heard Ruofu calmly speak:

"For entertainment."

Hongli froze.

"What?"

He asked incredulously.

Ruofu turned around, her face open and honest: "It's a sweet fragrance that enhances the pleasures of the boudoir. It can make people less reserved and more interested. Don't worry, the doctor has checked it; it won't harm your health."

Hongli's face gradually turned red.

"Fucha Ruofu!"

"What are you shouting now?"

Ruofu rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "What's the big deal! Offspring are important, but I can't suffer too much during this process!"

The veins on Hongli's forehead began to throb. Did this woman even know what shame was?

How can you say anything without batting an eye?

But Rufus continued to persuade him: "And didn't your wedding night prove that this thing is somewhat useful? You learned it much faster after that than before."

Hongli took a deep breath.

I endured it again and again.

In the end, I couldn't resist.

He suddenly reached out and pulled the person up from the chair, dragging him towards the bed through gritted teeth.

Ruo Fu followed along for a couple of steps, and before leaving, he added, "But we still need to know when to stop today. I have to get up early tomorrow morning, so once is enough. Don't go on like last time."

Hongli stumbled and almost fell.

After finally regaining his composure, he turned around and stared at her intently for a long time.

Suddenly, she lowered her head and bit down on those lips that seemed to be coated with poison.

Let's die together!

-

Under the same bright moon, the food in Qingying Courtyard had been reheated for the third time.

Qingying remained seated at the table, her gaze occasionally drifting towards the doorway.

Aruo grew increasingly impatient and finally couldn't help but say, "Master, why don't we retreat first?"

Qingying lowered her eyes: "Wait a little longer."

A'Ruo opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't dare to tell her that Wang Qin had just sent someone to say that the prince had drunk too much wine in the palace and was temporarily tied up with official business, so he was feeling unwell and wouldn't be coming over tonight.

That explanation was full of holes.

But one thing is very clear—

The prince is staying in the main courtyard tonight and cannot possibly come this way!

Aruo felt increasingly aggrieved for her master.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the prince had clearly promised to come, and the master was full of anticipation, preparing for it for a whole day.

In the end, the primary wife still managed to take him away.

Deceiving too much!

-

Meanwhile, Gao Xiyue had already finished the two mooncakes that Gao Bin had specially sent to deliver. After washing up, she crawled into bed and fell asleep sprawled out.

In her dream, Gao Bin brought her a full ten boxes.

Lotus seed paste, jujube paste, mixed nuts, red bean paste, and even milk skin mooncakes, which were only available in the palace, were piled up all over the table. A bowl of sweet soup to aid digestion was specially found for her. It was said that as long as she drank a sip of the soup, she could finish all the mooncakes on the table without getting indigestion or stomach pain.

She was so happy she almost went crazy!

Gao Xiyue smiled and happily rolled over.

What prince?

Where can I find mooncakes that are as good as the ones my father sends me?

-

The next morning, when Hongli woke up, Ruofu was already sitting in front of the dressing table doing her hair and makeup.

He was in a good mood.

After these days of rest, his back has indeed fully recovered.

More importantly, last night, Lady Fucha finally didn't complain about everything from beginning to end like she did on their wedding day.

He said he could do it!

But as soon as he stood up, he still felt something was wrong... His wife kept looking at his waist.

He glanced at it as he changed his clothes.

As he raised his hand to tie his belt, she glanced at him again in the bronze mirror.

……

When Ruofu looked over for the sixth time, Hongli finally couldn't take it anymore and turned around: "What are you looking at?"

Ruofu looked completely innocent: "I didn't see anything."

Hongli took a deep breath and straightened his back abruptly.

"I am perfectly fine."

"Yes, yes, yes."

If you don't give a perfunctory answer.

Hongli's face instantly darkened. He tried to hold back, but he couldn't swallow his anger any longer, so he simply turned around and left.

The moment his figure disappeared, the composure on Ruof's face vanished!
