The clingy concubine ran away, and the sickly prince lost control.

It's due tomorrow, so she'll have to stay up all night to finish embroidering it.

Luo Qingyan leaned against the carriage wall in dejection.

Pei Shiyuan has many flaws. Shen Nanxun only asked about the sachet, perhaps because he thought it looked familiar and asked casually.

He said he would embroider ten for her.

Luo Qingyan closed her eyes to rest, feeling quite annoyed that she had to embroider ten sachets by lamplight that night.

No, Pei Shiyuan is jealous.

Luo Qingyan suddenly realized that Pei Shiyuan was jealous.

No one is allowed to even glance at her sachet.

Does that mean I'm interested in her?

If he's interested in her, is it possible that he's pregnant?

Thinking of this, Luo Qingyan smiled.

Upon noticing Luo Qingyan smiling foolishly with her eyes closed, Pei Shiyuan frowned. Luo Qingyan looked like she was in a spring mood. What was she thinking?

Is Shen Nanxun better looking than him?

He's not dead yet!

Even if you, Luo Qingyan, were to find someone else, you would have to wait until he is dead.

"Cough, cough."

I heard Pei Shiyuan's unfriendly cough.

Luo Qingyan snapped out of her daze and opened her eyes: "Young Master, let me get you some water."

She thought it was because of the summer heat that Pei Shiyuan wanted to drink more water.

"I'm not thirsty." Pei Shiyuan turned his face back to look outside.

Luo Qingyan looked Pei Shiyuan up and down, almost unable to suppress her laughter. He was just jealous, but he was putting on a brave face.

On a sudden impulse, taking advantage of the slight swaying of the carriage, Luo Qingyan pretended to lose her balance and threw herself into Pei Shiyuan's arms, her lips landing squarely on his.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry." Luo Qingyan helped Pei Shiyuan up by the arm, jumped up as if she had been electrocuted, and then observed Pei Shiyuan's expression.

Pei Shiyuan's face immediately turned red, and his Adam's apple bobbed a few times before he finally spoke: "Next time, please don't be so clumsy."

This is the third time he has fallen on top of her.

The first time was at the ancestral hall, and she blamed Cui Rou for stabbing her knee, but she let it go.

It's understandable that I didn't see him when I got up to get water in the middle of the night for the second time.

And this time? He couldn't even sit still.

The streets of the capital were jolting and bumping, and Luo Qingyan was becoming more and more outrageous.

"Yes, Your Highness." Luo Qingyan obediently sat back down, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

She turned her head to the side, savoring the lingering warmth of Pei Shiyuan's lips on her own.

Pei Shiyuan is such a handsome man; if he were really her husband, wouldn't she be overjoyed?

Luo Qingyan's mind wandered, contemplating the lines and feel of the skin. Her face flushed, and she was secretly pleased that Pei Shiyuan hadn't resisted her earlier actions.

There is a play.

The carriage slowly came to a stop. Yuan Qing lifted the curtain, then immediately lowered it again. Inside, the two people were blushing.

I didn't see it, I didn't see it, I kept repeating to myself.

"Yuan Qing, what are you doing?" Pei Shiyuan lifted the carriage curtain, still waiting for Yuan Qing to help him down from the carriage.

"No, it's nothing." Yuan Qing forced himself to remain calm, kept his eyes straight ahead, gathered his strength, and lifted Pei Shiyuan down, landing steadily on the ground.

After getting off the carriage, Yuan Qing pushed Pei Shiyuan back to Linfeng Residence without saying a word, making sure no one saw them.

"Miss, they're back." Yinxing stood on the high ground with Cui Rou and watched.

"Shameless! They did that kind of thing in broad daylight!" Cui Rou cursed, her face still flushed. Could they have been in the carriage?

"Miss, don't be angry. After tonight, she'll just be a dirty rag," Ginkgo said in a low voice.

Cui Rou's eyes flashed with venom: "Then throw him out into the street, where he can be with anyone."

Linfeng Residence.

When Yuan Qing saw Luo Qingyan return to the room, she quickly grabbed a mirror and looked at Pei Shiyuan: "Master, what were you and Aunt Luo doing in the carriage?"

"No," Pei Shiyuan denied immediately.

"And your face," Yuan Qing reminded him.

"So you brought me back all at once?" Pei Shiyuan glanced at Yuan Qing. "It was because you didn't drive the carriage properly, causing Luo Qingyan to fall on top of me. She felt embarrassed."

"That's impossible, Your Highness. You know best how well I drive this carriage. It's been a steady ride the whole way. There was a slight bump, but it shouldn't have caused Aunt Luo to fall." Yuan Qing argued logically. How could the young master question his abilities?

Yuan Qing stroked his chin. Something's not right. Isn't Aunt Luo shy around the young master? Aunt Luo has always been very proactive!

"Young Master, Aunt Luo deliberately threw herself on you, didn't she?" Yuan Qing thought to himself, the two of them had just consummated their marriage, so she must be very concerned about that matter.

He needs to make things clear; he's not taking the blame.

"deliberately?"

Pei Shiyuan's face was no longer red. To be honest, the moment Luo Qingyan kissed him, a surge of heat instantly spread throughout his body, and his heart pounded. He never expected that Luo Qingyan had done it on purpose.

If she did it on purpose, that won't do.

"Luo Qingyan".

Upon hearing Pei Shiyuan's call, Luo Qingyan hurriedly came out from the side room.

Yuan Qing, observing the situation, silently withdrew and closed the door.

I can't even imagine what unspeakable things will happen between them next.

"Young Master, it's still early for your medicine." Luo Qingyan's tone was indifferent and proper, deliberately appearing distant. She realized that the presence of other men would provoke Pei Shiyuan.

The reason Pei Shiyuan rejected her before wasn't entirely because he didn't want children; it could also be because she was too clingy and too proactive.

If she becomes more distant and aloof, Pei Shiyuan will feel threatened, just like before, and only then will he be able to see his own heart and realize that he cares about her.

If we can't change Pei Shiyuan's mind about not wanting children right away, then we should try to build a relationship with him first. Maybe that will change his mind and make him want children again.

Seeing that Luo Qingyan was behaving properly, Pei Shiyuan relaxed his shoulders. Perhaps it wasn't intentional, but whether it was intentional or not, just to be on the safe side, he still had to emphasize to her again: "Luo Qingyan, I'm telling you again, don't even think about having children. If you make any more moves, Kangning Pavilion will be closed."

Pei Shiyuan became suspicious; this was a warning to her.

Anyway, she didn't intend to achieve everything in one go.

"I will heed Your Highness's teachings and devote myself entirely to Kangning Pavilion from now on, without thinking of anything else." Luo Qingyan's expression was solemn, almost as if she were swearing an oath to the heavens.

She wouldn't actually swear an oath to heaven; she still has children and grandchildren to surround her with in the future, so she can't just make a random vow.

Luo Qingyan really wanted to focus on running Kangning Pavilion well; it was such a good way to make a living.

It's one thing that Pei Shiyuan is in poor health, but after spending these days by his side, I can already feel the chill of the court from his tightly furrowed brows, with danger lurking everywhere.

She still strives to be self-reliant and establish herself, so that if anything happens to her one day, she will have a way out.

Satisfied with Luo Qingyan's answer, Pei Shiyuan turned and wheeled himself towards the study.

"Young Master, shall we continue embroidering the ten sachets?" Luo Qingyan asked loudly from behind.

"Embroidery".

People can't be too idle. Luo Qingyan doesn't have much self-control. If she's not busy, she might start thinking about that kind of thing again.

"Sigh!" Luo Qingyan sighed heavily. Pei Shiyuan was really provoked by Shen Nanxun. Ironically, he even warned her not to overthink it.

Is he even able to see his own heart clearly?

Luo Qingyan opened the door and saw Yuan Qing sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, drinking to his heart's content.

"Mmm, ah, delicious, so refreshing."

"Stop drinking." Luo Qingyan snatched the Jade Orchid Iced Drink from Yuan Qing's hand, revealing a sly smile: "Yuan Qing, you're quite busy, find someone else to drive from now on."

After saying that, Luo Qingyan turned and left.

Yuan Qing pointed at himself: What did he do wrong?
