When he thought of how his beloved would be entangled with a woman, Zhangsun Hee felt as if there was a blade churning in his heart, causing him to bleed profusely. He wanted to kill the woman that did not exist, and he loved Chen Mufeng to the point that he wished that he could eat her to death. However, he was unwilling to do anything excessive, because he knew in the bottom of his heart that Chen Mufeng's pressure was no less than his.
His right hand clenched into a fist inside his sleeves, he calmed his breathing, stared straight into Chen Mufeng's eyes, and said steadily: "Since that's the case, let's continue to waste time, I have plenty of time."
Afraid that he would lose control in front of Chen Mufeng, he turned around and hurriedly left, his back revealing a deep sense of loneliness and desolation.
Chen Mufeng's heart ached, but he still did not follow.
Zhangsun Hee walked forward quickly, his cold face frightened the passerby, and he consciously opened a path for him.
The two lackeys ran to keep up with him, not daring to let out their anger.
On the other side of the street, a middle-aged man with a graceful temperament and riding a black horse was slowly walking towards them. The middle-aged man had six followers who were also riding horses behind him.
Zhangsun Hee paused for a moment, then continued walking forward. The owner of the horse saw him, too, and his eyes did not waver. The two of them got closer and closer.
Zhangsun Hee cupped his fists and bowed, then said with a smile: "Greetings, Prince Ming."
Prince Ming nodded slightly and said with a smile, "There is no need for Young Marquis to be so courteous." The horse continued forward as the reins began to move.
Zhangsun Hee caught up to him and with a respectful tone, said: "Prince Ming, this junior wishes to invite you to have a cup of tea, may I ask if Prince Ming would mind taking some time off?"
"Please forgive me, young duke. This king has been busy with official business recently, I'm afraid I have no time to spare." Prince Ming nodded again and left.
Zhangsun Hee was silent for a while, unable to do anything.
"..."
Qin Mian brought Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin back to the National Duke's Mansion. Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin wanted to wait for Lei Tia in the front courtyard, so Qin Mian went back to the i er courtyard first and prepared some clothes for Lei Tia to change. Without permission, the servants would not casually enter their rooms. They were not afraid of anyone discovering any abnormalities.
After he finished picking the fruits, he went to the courtyard to have a look at the whiteness.
One Bai showed signs of advancing in his cultivation level recently. He had been lying on the floor in the space for the past few days, with his eyes closed. He looked like he was sleeping, but in fact, he was cultivating. The spiritual energy in the space slowly entered its body, like a snowflake falling into water, disappearing without a trace. Streams of spirit lines flashed on its fur like electricity, causing it to shine even brighter than before.
After exiting the space, Qin Mian returned to the front yard.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were sparring with a group of servants by the side.
The servants knew that their mistress was a good-natured woman, as long as they did not delay their work and did not break the rules of National Duke's Mansion, she would not punish them harshly. When she saw Qin Mian coming, she did not panic and bowed politely.
After Qin Mian nodded, they retreated to the side to continue watching the two Young Master's practice.
The golden-haired youngster stood to the side and watched with great interest.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were seven years old this year, their height was as tall as Qin Mian's waist, their bodies were long and sturdy.
The two of them would occasionally exchange blows in the air, and occasionally land on the ground. Their footwork was ephemeral, and their bodies were nimble and nimble, showing no signs of yielding. As they fought, their gazes would occasionally sweep towards the gate.
Qin Mian shook his head, supporting his chin, he thought deeply. This father of his isn't bad, right? Why did his two sons never look at him with admiration?
Shortly after, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the door.
Qin Mian easily recognized that the sound belonged to Lei Tia's dark horse.
Sure enough, in a moment, Lei Tia rode on his horse and entered the house.
"Father!"
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin immediately stopped their attacks and ran over to receive it.
Lei Tia jumped off the horse, patted the shoulders of his two sons, and handed over the birdcage sized embroidered box to them.
Lei Ruilin asked happily: "Dad, is this a gift for me and brother?"
Lei Tia nodded.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin's attention was placed on the embroidered box.
After the servants bowed to Lei Tia, they retreated. There were only four people left in the training field.
Lei Tia walked in front of Qin Mian and naturally held his shoulders. He lowered his head and kissed Qin Mian's lips, it was extremely hot as if he was thinking about it.
"How was the journey?" Qin Mian stroked his chin that had grown stubble on it, casually sending the dust on his sleeve.
Lei Tia nodded his head, and retrieved a palm sized embroidered box from his chest and handed it over to him.
The embroidered box was hot and carried Lei Tia's warmth. Qin Mian did not rush to take a look, but instead pulled him into his embrace and put her arms around his shoulders, "Go back and take a bath first, then go to Feng Chen."
The two of them ignored the boys who were still researching how to open the box and headed to the backyard first.
"The box?" Qin Mian was curious. A box couldn't be opened that long.
Lei Tia said: "There's a mechanism. Let them think about it."
Returning to his room, Lei Tia went to take a bath. Qin Mian took out the box he carried in his arms, laid on the bed, and subconsciously opened the lid, but he didn't expect that he couldn't open it either. He could not help but chuckle, but his heart felt even more itchy, anxious to know what Lei Tia had bought for him.
This box could be opened with force, and with his Spiritual Sense, he would be able to find out what was inside. However, that would not only fail to live up to Lei Tia's expectations, it would also lessen the amount of fun that would come with it. Qin Mian carefully observed the six sides of the embroidered boxes, and noticed that each side was formed from many small cubes. The mystery must be in these small squares.
He happily prepared to try it, feeling a heavy weight on his back, accompanied by the smell of bath soap, and then a bite on his ear.
"Wife??"
Qin Mian raised his lips, placed the embroidered box on the pillow, and closed his eyes as he laid down on the soft pillow.
Qin Mian collapsed onto the bed, panting for a moment before he recovered his breath. His gaze shifted towards the bottom of the man's body, his forehead throbbing with suspicion. Would that thing continue to grow as an adult?
A smile surfaced in Lei Tia's eyes. He held his sweaty face, kissed his dry lips and moistened it with his saliva.
Qin Mian refused to be outdone and fought back. Only when his breathing became unstable again did the two of them separate.
Lei Tia raised his hand and the teacup on the table flew over to him. He grabbed it and drank a mouthful of tea before lowering his head and feeding it to his wife. His obsidian eyes stared at her unblinkingly.
Qin Mian's temperature, which had finally returned to normal, started to soar again. His arms wrapped around his neck, and started to suck on him.
"Tell me honestly, where did you learn all this from!"
Lei Tia looked at him suspiciously, "Instinct."
Qin Mian was speechless.
Lei Tia got down from his body and wrapped his arms around his shoulders, pulling a thin blanket over their waists.
"Did you make a move on the way? You're not hurt, right? "
"Nope." Lei Tia said, "The three waves of assassins all returned empty-handed."
Qin Mian guessed: "When the time comes to send the Sixth Prince off, you will also take the majority of the time to do so."
Lei Tia said: "It's extremely possible. Tonight, there was going to be a banquet, and all Imperial Orders above the fourth stage were going to attend. The Emperor wants Ruiqi and Ruilin to go as well."
Qin Mian was quite interested, "Then let's go, we haven't even eaten from the royal kitchen before." He took the embroidered box and continued to study it.
Outside the door, two familiar footsteps were approaching.
"Father, father??"
The two were still naked, but Qin Mian panicked and was about to get up.
Lei Tia hugged him and did not let him move. He looked at the tightly shut door, and then opened his mouth.
Lei Ruilin said meaningfully, "Oh????" and then giggled and ran off with Qin Ruiqi.
"A scammer and a scoundrel!" Qin Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The husband and his wife spent the rest of the day in the room...
As he thought about how there were many troublesome matters in the palace banquet and when he would be able to finish them all, Qin Mian cooked a pot of fried rice and the family of four ate a small bowl. He and Lei Tia were fine, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were growing up, and since they had yet to reach home after cultivating, they could not endure the hunger.
After di er, the four people took a bath, changed their clothes, and entered the palace in a horse carriage.
As it was a custom-made carriage, once they arrived at the entrance of the palace, the imperial palace's guards checked that there were no hidden people inside the carriage before letting the carriage pass.
After entering the palace, the carriage stopped at a special parking lot. The family of four got out of the car and followed the attendant inside. Along the way, they met other commanders and the Imperial Orders's Mistress, and they greeted each other from time to time.
The banquet was held either in the imperial garden or in the reception hall. Because of the summer heat, the banquet will be held tonight in the royal garden.
The colorful flags fluttered in the imperial garden, the lanterns hung high as day, and the sound of silk and bamboo never ceased, light and graceful. The emperor and empress weren't present. As the people with the most prestigious statuses, they were, of course, the last ones to appear. The messengers of Turow Country had not arrived yet.
Qin Mian originally thought that he would be arranged to sit at the position of the Imperial Orders's Madam. He would have been uncomfortable sitting among the women.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin naturally sat together with them.
Chen Mufeng happened to be in front of them, smiling from afar while waving at them.
Qin Mian held up his teacup and indicated to him, sensing that a gaze was fixated on him, he looked over, and saw that it was Zhangsun Hee, who was seated on the right side of Chen Mufeng.
Zhangsun Hee nodded to Qin Mian and turned to talk to him, a gentle look in his eyes.
Qin Mian suddenly realized that Chen Mufeng's other half was Zhangsun Hee!
He looked straight ahead as if nothing had happened and raised his right hand to point at Lei Tia who was sitting to his right. There were a few times when he missed his mark, he turned his head in bewilderment, and Lei Ruilin pursed his lips into a smile, as if he had intentionally pulled Lei Tia to the side to avoid Qin Mian's hand. Qin Ruiqi was holding a cup of tea and drinking it while the corner of his mouth curled up.
