Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Chapter 60 Almost Made a Mistake

Jiang Qingyan took Lvyao's hand and introduced her, "This is Shaoyao, my assistant."

Yun Yuxuan didn't ask any more questions. As long as his father could fall in love with his mother again, nothing else mattered.

After entering the Xia Kingdom's palace, Jiang Qingyan carefully observed every corner of the palace and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: No wonder the Xia Kingdom is so powerful. Just these furnishings alone show the Xia Kingdom's immense wealth. Even the palace guards here are more than ten times the number in their Great An...

Guided by the eunuch, Jiang Qingyan and Yun Yuxuan took their seats together, the closest seats to the King and Queen, while Lüyao, as a servant, was arranged to wait outside the hall.

Seeing that his son had gone so far as to bring a male companion into the palace, King Xia's face was extremely gloomy. He sneered at the Queen beside him, "Other princes bring the daughters of important officials as female companions to the birthday banquet, but your good son actually brought a man. Where does he put the royal family's dignity?"

Queen Xia smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned. "Anyway, His Majesty has never cared about us, mother and son, so why interfere with Xuan'er's feelings? I think this young master is quite handsome and worthy of Xuan'er."

King Xia didn't say anything more. He glared at Jiang Qingyan, then picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Sensing the chill in King Xia's gaze, Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but shiver. She leaned close to Yun Yuxuan's ear and whispered, "Your father seems angry."

Yun Yuxuan glanced at the person in the seat of honor, gave a faint smile, took another sip of wine, and said self-deprecatingly, "It's alright, no matter what I do, he will never care."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but feel sorry for him. However, when she thought of her "super-strong mother", she couldn't help but feel a little envious of Yun Yuxuan.

Jiang Qingyan took Yun Yuxuan's hand, looked into his eyes and said softly, "Yuxuan, you have not done anything wrong. Don't always care about what other people think. Life is only a few decades long. The most important thing is to live happily."

Yun Yuxuan's eyes trembled slightly, and a complex emotion rose in his heart. He had never heard anyone say these words to him before.

People either advised him to work hard and improve himself, or to avoid upsetting his father, but no one ever told him to be happy...

Yun Yuxuan felt a warmth in his heart, and the melancholy between his brows quietly disappeared. He smiled and said, "I'm so glad I met you. As long as I have you as my confidant for the rest of my life, I will definitely be happy."

Jiang Qingyan smiled but didn't say anything. Life is too long, and Yu Xuan will definitely meet a true confidant.

The birthday banquet ended quickly. The eunuchs helped Yun Yuxuan and Jiang Qingyan to a bedroom, where they placed Yun Yuxuan on the bed.

This is where Yun Yuxuan lived before leaving the palace and taking up his own residence. It is also the closest to the palace of King Xia and Queen, making it much more convenient to get things done.

After the palace maids and eunuchs left the bedchamber, Jiang Qingyan bent down and patted Yun Yuxuan's face, but she couldn't wake him up no matter what she did. Jiang Qingyan curled her lips, which suited her just fine.

Yun Yuxuan's original plan was to pretend to be drunk, but he was so frustrated that he actually got drunk.

Just as Jiang Qingyan was about to sneak out, Yun Yuxuan grabbed her by the neck and pressed her against his body.

Jiang Qingyan frowned and said, "Yun Yuxuan, are you pretending to be drunk?"

Yun Yuxuan didn't respond, but instead tilted his head back and kissed Jiang Qingyan's lips, sucking on them greedily.

Jiang Qingyan wanted to push him away, but when she thought that after today, the two of them might never see each other again, she couldn't bear it. In the end, she had taken advantage of Yun Yuxuan's sincerity towards her.

Jiang Qingyan took a deep breath, leaned down and deepened the kiss, turning the passive into the active, and slowly probed his mouth with the tip of her tongue.

Their bodies gradually heated up as their lips and tongues intertwined. Yun Yuxuan had already taken off his clothes in a state of confusion and infatuation, revealing everything about himself to Jiang Qingyan.

At that moment, a figure in black left forlornly outside the window, heading straight for the Xia King's bedroom.

Green Medicine, who was waiting anxiously outside the palace, gently knocked on the door and whispered, "Young Master, it's getting late. The guards on night watch have already left. We should set off."

Jiang Qingyan was pulled back to reality by Lvyao's voice. She glanced down at Yun Yuxuan, who was lying naked beneath her, and quickly got out of bed and put on her outer robe.

Seeing that the ties of her undergarment were still intact, she slowly exhaled. Luckily, Green Medicine called her back in time, otherwise she would have made a mistake...

Seeing that Yun Yuxuan's breathing was even, she assumed he had already fallen asleep. Jiang Qingyan gently covered him with the blanket, then gave him a light kiss on the lips before leaving the bedroom.

This is something she owes Yun Yuxuan. If the two countries go to war in the future, she will definitely protect Yun Yuxuan.

Seeing that only Jiang Qingyan came out, Lüyao asked in confusion, "Isn't the Third Prince coming with us?"

Jiang Qingyan glanced at the hall and said in a deep voice, "He's drunk and asleep, but that's good, it saves us from having to figure out how to get away later."

It was already late at night. All the guards outside the Xia King's bedchamber had been withdrawn, leaving only a few palace maids and eunuchs on night watch. They had been drugged by Green Medicine with sleeping powder and were able to pass through unimpeded.

The two tiptoed to the outside of King Xia's bedchamber in the darkness. Green Medicine poked a hole in the window paper and blew in the sleeping smoke.

After a short while, once she was sure that the palace maids and eunuchs inside the hall had fainted and fallen to the ground, Jiang Qingyan felt relieved and pushed open the hall door, then quietly slipped inside with Lüyao.

Green Medicine squatted on the ground, opened the gourd at his waist, and the snow silkworm slowly crawled out.

The two followed the snow silkworm all the way until they stopped in front of a stone wall. Jiang Qingyan and Lvyao exchanged a glance, presumably because the secret chamber where the snow silkworm was kept was behind the stone wall.

Jiang Qingyan looked around, her gaze finally settling on a small wooden carving of a human figure, and she couldn't help but feel curious...

The face on this wood carving looks unfamiliar, but the expression... it feels somewhat familiar?

Because it was too dark inside the hall, Jiang Qingyan wanted to pick it up and examine it carefully, but as soon as her hand touched the wooden carving, the stone wall unexpectedly opened, revealing a golden secret chamber inside.

The snow silkworm immediately crawled inside excitedly, then stopped in front of a pure gold box, twisting its waist and rubbing against it.

Jiang Qingyan stopped worrying about the wood carving and quickly followed Lvyao into the secret room.

Green Medicine picked up the box and excitedly opened it. Inside was indeed her father's snow silkworm!

Jiang Qingyan curled her lips and whispered, "Quickly put away the snow silkworms, let's leave the palace now!"

Green Medicine nodded, put both snow silkworms into the gourd, and then hurriedly followed Jiang Qingyan out of the secret room.

As soon as the two stepped out of the bedroom, they heard hurried footsteps approaching. Jiang Qingyan quickly pulled Lüyao and hid behind the artificial hill.
