Keep your voice down. Are you trying to look glamorous dressed as a forced lover?

Last night, Li Qingyan vowed that she would never touch this scumbag again, but when she was in a daze, her heart kept moving closer to him, and she even tried to get close to him.

Li Qingyan was pondering why she had lost control of herself.

Because his eyes resemble Sannoh's? And what about that aura?

She has to figure it out.

Just as Li Qingyan was thinking, Wen Sheng suddenly appeared. He was still the same as before, wanting to share the food with her.

Upon seeing Ji Mingzheng again, Li Qingyan felt a sense of loss and change, even a feeling of profound change.

Seeing Wen Sheng felt like time had reversed, taking us back to three years ago.

Whether it was three years ago or three years later, Wen Sheng seems to have remained unchanged.

It's as if she's only been gone for three days, not three.

Even though his trip to the Western Regions was very fruitful, not only did it enhance the reputation of the Wen family, but it also completely opened up trade routes, which had a positive effect on the overall economic development of the Li Kingdom.

But when he appeared before her, it was as if he had never left, as if he had been waiting for her all along.

His gaze remained unchanged; the three years seemed to have vanished from his life, and had even deepened the emotions in his eyes.

"What's wrong, Your Highness? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing that she remained silent and kept staring at him, Wen Sheng found it strange and reached out to touch her forehead.

"I'm fine."

Li Qingyan pulled Wen Sheng's hand down and didn't let go.

Three years ago, she told Wen Sheng that the separation was for a better reunion.

She left some things to time, hoping that three years later their feelings would remain unchanged.

I want to see if she will have the ability to love again three years from now.

Ji Mingzheng was always in front of her, and Wen Sheng proved that his feelings hadn't changed by spending three seemingly non-existent years with just a breakfast.

Wen Sheng was always there.

This was their first meeting in three years; there was no exciting embrace, it was just an ordinary one.

But it is this ordinariness that is most precious.

She once said that separation was for a better reunion. Now that they have reunited, Wen Sheng's feelings have not changed, so naturally she cannot push him away.

Three years ago, she was too tired to be in love, so he waited.

She cannot and should not continue to run away.

Wen Sheng's appearance brought a smile back to Li Qingyan's face, even though he was still somewhat unaccustomed to life in the palace.

"Let's go, I need to try the Western Region cuisine you highly recommended."

Wen Sheng looked at the hand that was being held, smiled, and silently tightened her grip, relaxing her entire body.

His Highness did not refuse.

But soon he paused and couldn't help but look around.

"What's wrong?" Li Qingyan asked curiously.

"It's nothing," Wen Sheng shook her head.

But when His Highness took his hand, he felt a gaze from the shadows, cold and piercing, filled with a scrutinizing and hostile intent that made him feel like he was being pricked.

Wen Sheng didn't know who it was, but he wasn't afraid.

He waited for three years.

No one but His Highness himself could push him away from His Highness.

Li Qingyan put Lan Jin aside for the time being and asked about Wen Sheng's experiences over the past three years.

Breakfast went well, but Ji Mingzheng arrived just as they were finishing.

Ji Mingzheng stayed at Zhenxing Pavilion last night. In the morning, he vaguely heard Wen Sheng instructing people to prepare breakfast. He naturally knew that Wen Sheng was coming to see Li Qingyan.

So he left early in the morning to give Wen Sheng time.

But he really didn't want to eat breakfast alone, so after giving them some time alone, he couldn't resist coming over again.

But he wouldn't compete for favor at this time. Seeing them made him feel at ease, and without saying anything, he cleaned up the rest of the breakfast without any hesitation.

The atmosphere among the three was fairly harmonious.

Only from Shihe Palace came Lan Jin's somewhat cold voice: "Having both on the left and right, how uncomfortable."

"Scumbag woman!"

He blurted it out, and the burning heat from the kiss was completely extinguished.

After he sat down, he exclaimed in surprise, "Why did I call her a 'scumbag woman'?"

Gu Li didn't say that, but he just blurted it out.

The next day, he felt uneasy and confused.

When he came in place of his cousin, he knew perfectly well that she had three concubines, and each of them had a story with her that had been passed down and even he could find out about.

In short, he had known for a long time that she had another lover, and that they had a good relationship.

He hadn't paid much attention before, because he was only there to investigate clues, and given that the Crown Princess of Li Kingdom was already destined to have many concubines.

On his very first day in the palace, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her pulling Wen Sheng.

"The appointment of the concubine has not yet been made... If it weren't for the fact that it would implicate my cousin and Gu Li, I would have left the palace today."

Lan Jin was somewhat averse to the position of concubine.

At the same time, because the Crown Princess petitioned the Emperor to select a concubine, the Emperor issued an edict, and the Secretariat drafted an imperial decree to appoint Lan Jinna as the Crown Princess's concubine.

Song Qinian, the Vice Minister of the Chancellery, came after a sleepless night. Upon seeing the imperial edict, he remained motionless for a long time.

"Minister Song, is there something amiss?"

"no."

Song Qinian came to his senses; he had known all along that Gu Li would send someone over for a marriage alliance.

He gently put it down.

Unexpectedly, there was an imperial edict concerning the Crown Prince's Palace. It was still issued by His Majesty, ordering the Secretariat to draft the edict and the Vice Minister of the Secretariat to review it. Originally, he was serving as a military advisor to the Crown Princess, but this time, he returned to the capital with the Crown Princess, and His Majesty issued an edict to promote him to the position of Attendant to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Prince's Attendant was in charge of writing documents, overseeing memorials and official documents, serving the Crown Prince, offering advice and suggestions, and had access to confidential documents and reports, as well as accompanying the Crown Prince on his travels.

This position is reserved for the Crown Princess and those she trusts.

Song Qinian looked at it for a while longer.

Song Qinian had heard of Xie Shu, and even heard of his appearance. Such a person had been by Li Qingyan's side for three years. In some people's eyes, those three years were probably spent as a bed warmer, and their relationship was ambiguous.

This time, not only was she allowed to return to the capital, but she was even given such a high position, which shows how much the Crown Princess values ​​her.

The fact that Vice Minister Song is His Highness's concubine is known throughout the land.

So this time, no one dared to urge them.

Finally, when Vice Minister Song said he would personally deliver it to Her Highness the Crown Princess, no one said anything.

However, after Vice Minister Song left, everyone had a lot of worries and troubles.

Over the past three years, as Vice Minister Song has risen through the ranks and become increasingly important, his choices and future have become the focus of much attention.

Because it is of great importance.

After Li Qingyan returned, this issue once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

Even the emperor asked Li Qingyan about it before the morning court session.

Li Qingyan only said that they would talk about it after meeting Song Qinian.

Song Qinian soon appeared in front of Li Qingyan.

The man was led in by Xie Shu, who was polite and respectful. Song Qinian, on the other hand, was indifferent and seemed unaware of the rumors.

"Your Highness, Vice Minister Song requests an audience."

Li Qingyan smiled and said, "Go in."

Three years later, when they met again, Song Qinian was now the Vice Minister of the Chancellery.

His tall and straight figure was accentuated by the crimson official robe, his nose was straight, his eyebrows and eyes were clear and refined, and his eyes were slightly upturned. He still had the gentle and refined demeanor of a young nobleman, but with the crimson robe on his body, his high position and power added a sense of composure honed in the court.

Li Qingyan looked at him, happy for him; she knew this would happen.

Li Qingyan smiled broadly, and when Song Qinian saw her smile, it was as if the three years of separation had never existed.

How could it not exist?
