Chapter 235 Clingy Yongqi

After resolving this absurd incident, it was already 3:45 PM.

Yongqi breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on Xiaoyanzi's shoulder. "Luckily, someone proved my innocence, otherwise I would have been in deep trouble no matter what!"

Fu Erkang raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Ziwei, I think we should leave. This place is not suitable for us to stay any longer."

Xia Ziwei nodded. "Indeed, Saiya, Ertai, let's go."

Kang Wei and Taiya left one after another, leaving Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi alone in the hall.

"What are you doing?" As Xiao Yanzi watched Kang Wei and Taiya leave, Yong Qi, who was standing behind her, reached his large hand inside again.

"Little Swallow, we've never played in this hall before, how about we try it today?"

Little Swallow's face instantly changed color. "What did you say?"

"Please, after we leave the palace, we'll be busy with important matters every day. How will we have time to be so intimate?"

Little Swallow shoved him, "But what if someone comes in?"

"No, they wouldn't dare!" Yongqi whispered before kissing her lips.

Yongqi put his arm around her waist, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. The two kissed as they walked up the steps to the bench at the top.

Yongqi carried her to a bench, their clothes both disheveled. His left hand was on her back, while his right hand tore at her clothes. "Little Swallow..."

All their clothes were scattered on the ground. The two people on the bench had long forgotten where they were and only wanted to stick close to each other.

The people outside the hall were already numb. If they went far away, they were afraid that someone would come to ambush or assassinate them; if they went closer, they would find it hard to bear listening to the intimate interaction between the two masters inside.

By the time the two masters inside stopped speaking, it was almost 7 PM.

They saw their Valley Master carrying his wife as they walked out step by step. Yu Feng awkwardly stepped forward and asked, "Is the Valley Master returning to the palace? Should we send someone to escort him?"

Yongqi shook his head. "No need."

On the way back to the palace, Yongqi kept kissing her, and Xiaoyanzi grumbled, "Stop kissing me! If you keep kissing me like this, how am I supposed to face Mother when I get back?"

Yongqi lowered his head and said with a mischievous smile, "It's not like Mother hasn't seen this before, is it?"

"What? You're a bad person!"

"I'm a bad guy, so naturally I have to do what bad guys do!"

"No! This can't happen again! I feel like my whole body is falling apart! If you keep doing this, it means you don't love me anymore!"

"..." Hearing Xiao Yanzi's accusation, Yongqi finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore, I really won't touch you!"

Now that we've got the meat, it's time to get down to business and do things properly!

"You've been exhausted these past few days, so you should get some rest."

"I'll take advantage of the time before we set off to review the materials and prepare for the disaster relief efforts later."

Seeing that Yongqi had really stopped bothering her, she finally closed her eyes and went to rest.

Back at Yonghe Palace, Consort Yu couldn't bear to look at Xiao Yanzi, who had been carried back by Yongqi. "You should tone it down," she said.

Yongqi smiled awkwardly, "I know, I know what I'm doing."

Consort Yu then asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"No." Yongqi shook his head. "Mother, is there any food left in the palace?"

"Yes, I'll have them heat it up."

"Thank you, Mother." After expressing his gratitude, Yongqi carried Xiaoyanzi back to his room.

He had hot water brought over and used it to wash Xiao Yanzi's body. After that, their dinner was ready.

"Little Swallow, get up and eat something before you go back to sleep." Yongqi woke Little Swallow up. "If you don't get up, I'll kiss you."

Little Swallow, who was still incredibly sleepy, perked up instantly upon hearing the word "kiss." "No need, I can do it myself."

"That won't do. I used to feed you." Yongqi smiled, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and carefully fed Xiaoyanzi.

Little Swallow frowned and asked, "I have hands and feet, and I'm not injured, so why don't I eat by myself? Why do I need you to feed me?"

She's a grown woman, and being fed by someone felt strange. "Let me do it myself," she said.

Seeing that Xiao Yanzi was indeed not used to it, Yongqi had no choice but to let her eat it herself.

After they finished eating, Xiao Shunzi and his friends took away their bowls and chopsticks.

Without saying a word, Little Swallow lay down on the bed and went to sleep. "I'm sleepy, don't bother me."

"Okay, you should get some rest." Yongqi smiled helplessly, kissed her lips, left the bedroom, closed the door, and went to the study across the hall.

After a day of playing around, it's time to get down to business.

-------------------------------------

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, at the hour of Chen (7-9 AM), inside the Qianqing Palace, Yongqi stood at the lower end and respectfully said, "Father, I am about to set off."

Little Swallow smiled and said, "Don't worry, Father Emperor, we will return safely."

Although she only spent a few days in the palace in her new memories, she deeply felt the friendliness of the people in the palace towards her, so she was filled with love and reluctance to leave this home.

"However, Father, you must take good care of yourself and not overwork yourself! Otherwise, we will all worry."

Emperor Qianlong nodded and said, "Alright, I will take good care of myself. You all be careful in everything you do. Go ahead."

After leaving the palace, Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi went to the Scholar's Residence to meet up with Fu Erkang and Xia Ziwei.

"Fifth Prince, you must take good care of Xiao Yanzi. If anything happens to her again, my whip is not to be trifled with!" Saiya said angrily to Yongqi.

Yongqi laughed and said, "Don't worry, this time, there won't be any more accidents!"

"Brother, take good care of Fifth Prince and the others, protect Sister-in-law, take care of yourself, and come back safely." Fu'ertai looked at Fu'erkang with concern. "Last time you went to war, I couldn't go with you, and this time you're going to disaster relief, I still can't go with you. I don't know when I'll be able to act alongside you all..."

Fu Erkang comforted him, "There will be opportunities, Ertai. While I'm away, the family will depend on you. Take good care of Father and Mother, and also take good care of Saiya."

"I understand, please be careful on your journey."

Xiao Jian and Qing'er are both extremely busy these days and simply don't have time to say goodbye to them.

Little Swallow sighed, "I hope they finish their work soon, and then Father Emperor will give them a break so my brother and sister-in-law can rest for a while..."

Yongqi leaned on Xiaoyanzi's shoulder and said in a spoiled tone, "Xiaoyanzi, I want a holiday too!"

"Hey, Erkang and Ziwei are here, what are you doing?" Xiaoyanzi was really uncomfortable with being so intimate with Yongqi in front of others.

Xia Ziwei covered her mouth and laughed, "No need, just pretend we don't exist. After all, you've done even worse things before..."

Hearing this, Little Swallow couldn't help but ask curiously, "What else have we done before? What else have we done?"

Xia Ziwei whispered in Xiao Yanzi's ear about her heroic act of drunkenly kissing Yongqi in front of everyone years ago. Xiao Yanzi couldn't believe it at all, "Did I really do that?"

Xia Ziwei nodded, "Absolutely true, there were many people there at the time!"

Xiao Yanzi looked at Yongqi and asked, "What kind of bewitching potion did you give me?" It's unbelievable that she would disregard her dignity and kiss me forcibly in public!

Yongqi said helplessly, "I should be the one saying that. What kind of spell did you cast on me..."

Then, he whispered in Xiao Yanzi's ear, "You've given me a love potion, making me want to be with you all the time, always sticking close to each other..."

Xia Ziwei saw Xiao Yanzi's face visibly turn bright red and couldn't help but cough a few times. "Brother, sister-in-law, be careful, we're still here. Don't pretend we're not here..."
