Seeing Su Xiaoxiaos hesitation, Old Madam Wei urged, Put it on quickly. It cost me a hundred taels of silver.

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, Are you sure you werent scammed?

Quick, quick, quick! Put it on! Matriarch Wei was really impatient.

Su Xiaoxiao put on the safety talisman. Anyway, there would be no babies even if she wore it. She and Wei Ting were busy being celibate!

Wei Ting returned from court and saw the red rope around her neck.

He knew that she was originally wearing an emerald jade pendant which was given to Su Ergou.

When a person cared about another person, it was easy to notice any difference in her.

When he approached, he realized that the red string seemed familiar. He stretched out his slender jade-like fingertips and hooked the red string out.

When he saw the child-giving Guanyin Talisman hanging on it, a thought-provoking glint flashed across his eyes. You asked for this?

Seeing that he knew her, Su Xiaoxiao took the child -giving Guanyin Talisman from him. What do you mean I asked for it? Grandmother gave it to me!

Wei Ting looked at her meaningfully. Grandmother clearly asked for this for Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law. She even specially invited the master to bless her, wanting Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law to give

Xiyue a younger brother.

That was not what Grandmother said

Oh no, this guy was going to use this as an excuse again.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was thinking about this, she saw Wei Ting sit down calmly on the stool opposite her with an unruly and cold expression.

I couldnt tell, Su Xiaoxiao. You even s.n.a.t.c.hed this. Do you want to get pregnant with my child so badly?

He had once accidentally addressed her with an amalgam of Su Daya and Qin Xiaoxiao. She said that she liked him calling her that, so he continued. However, he rarely called her by her name unless it was something very important.

Clearly, in his opinion, Su Xiaoxiao just wanted to give birth to his child. Su Xiaoxiao insisted, Grandmother really gave it to me.

Wei Ting chuckled and said, You even know how to use Grandmother as an excuse. If you didnt take the initiative to ask Grandmother for it, would Grandmother have given you something meant for Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law?

Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly, Ask Grandmother if you dont believe me!

Wei Ting snorted. Of course Grandmother wont expose you.

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her chubby fists.

At this moment, Xinger came to the door. Miss, someone from the palace is here. Please enter the palace.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, Did something happen?

Xinger shook her head. Im not sure. Its the little eunuch beside Princess

Jingning. From what he said, Princess Jingning doesnt look too good.

Actually, the young eunuch was talking about her expression. However, Xinger felt that Princess Jingning and her young lady were close and would never be upset with her young lady. Therefore, it should be in regard to her wellbeing. The young eunuch had made a mistake with his message.

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, Is Princess Jingning sick? She was clearly fine this morning

Thanks to Xingers correction, Su Xiaoxiao successfully missed the key clue, so she naturally didnt think of the letter.

She tidied up and called Ah Fu to drive to the palace.

When she arrived at the warm pavilion of Kunning Palace, she inexplicably felt a murderous aura a.s.sault her. She took a closer look and saw that Princess Hui An was also there.

The two princesses sat on their chairs, looking like they wanted to eat her.

On the table between the two of them were two thick stacks of letters.

Su Xiaoxiaos heart skipped a beat. No way, no way. Did the two of them compare letters?

Princess Jingning did not have the habit of sharing private letters with others. It could only be that little tsundere Hui An. She must have taken the letter she had written to Princess Jingning to show off.

This show was overturned.

If she had known earlier, she would have used Wei Tings. The words were a little ugly, but at least she would not expose herself.

She took a deep breath and suppressed her guilt. She walked into the warm pavilion. Princess, why did you call me over so late?

Princess Hui An said angrily, Youre still pretending! Tell me honestly, whats wrong with these letters? Why is the handwriting different? Which of our letters was written by you?

I didnt write anyones The climax came too quickly, like a tornado.

Princess Jingning hit the nail on the head. You didnt write any of them, right?

As expected of a star student, she had a high IQ!

Su Xiaoxiao gave Princess Jingning a thumbs up in her heart and said sincerely, Although I didnt write these words, I personally dictated the contents of the letter. Its just that my handwriting isnt good and I was afraid of dirtying the eyes of the two princesses, so I asked Wei Ting to write for me.

Princess Jingning asked skeptically, Really? Wei Ting can have two types of handwriting?

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. Hes the top scholar. This little ability is nothing.

Princess Jingning picked up two exam papers from the table. Then can you explain why his two handwriting is identical to those of Top Scorer Su and Top Scorer Shen?

No way. They even got the exam papers of Su Xuan and Shen Chuan. Were they determined to hammer her to death

Su Xiaoxiao refused to admit it. If theres a similarity, its a coincidence.

Princess Jingning said, Hmph!

Fifteen minutes later, Su Xiaoxiao came out of the palace with her head drooping. Her face was covered in dust, like a little philanderer whose cover had been blown.

Princess Jingning was not easy to coax, nor was Princess Hui An. She was punished to write a hundred letters.

Get in.

A familiar mans voice sounded from the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. She walked into the carriage and took a look. Wei Ting? Why are you here?

I was pa.s.sing by, Wei Ting said calmly.

Su Xiaoxiao didnt believe that he was just pa.s.sing by. She had just offended two princesses, so it was good to be comforted by her beautiful husband.

Soon, she realized that this was not the way home. She could not help but ask,

Where are we going?

Wei Ting said, Youll know when we get there.

The carriage stopped on the long street by the lake. At a glance, decorated pleasure boats were docked at the side.

The beautiful lake in winter had a new year aura. Red muslin and red lanterns were hung on the pleasure boats, and New Year paintings and couplets were

pasteu on cnem.

Wei Ting brought her to another extremely quiet pleasure boat.

It was bigger and more exquisite and beautiful than the Pearl Pavilion.

Other than the servant and maidservant who silently lowered their heads, there were only the two of them. Wei Ting, why did you bring me here?

Enjoy the cold wind?

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, Cant you say something nice?

They sat down by the window in a room.

The maid immediately served delicacies that Su Xiaoxiao had never seen before. The dishes were especially exquisite.

Su Xiaoxiao took a bite. The fish meat was extremely delicious.

She tried another small meatball. It was her favorite pickled ginger fishball. The spicy ginger grains and the freshness of the fish meat were mixed perfectly with the vinegar soup. It was a feast on the tip of her tongue.

Wei Ting did not take many bites; he was mainly watching her eat.

She ate until her cheeks were puffed up, especially when she stuffed the little meatball into her mouth. She looked like a little squirrel foraging and h.o.a.rding.

Su Xiaoxiao was sweating from eating. It was delicious and satisfying.

After dinner, it was already night.

There was a lantern meet on the long street tonight. There were colorful lanterns hanging on the stalls in the cold wind, like a winding dragon.

The songs of the singers and the sound of the pipa came from the other pleasure boats, making ones heart sway.

Su Xiaoxiao leaned against the railing of the deck and listened to the wind. She enjoyed the night view of the capital.

Suddenly, the advancing pleasure boat touched a reef and jolted violently.

Su Xiaoxiao fell forward and Wei Ting pulled her over. Su Xiaoxiao fell into his solid arms.

She widened her eyes and looked at this handsome face that was inches away. For some reason, her heart suddenly beat faster.

Wei Ting did not let go of her, and she did not leave his arms.

The two of them stared at each other.

Someone on the riverbank set off fireworks. The bright flames soared into the sky and bloomed in the endless dome, competing with the stars and moon.

Su Xiaoxiaos heart seemed to have exploded into a string of fireworks. She subconsciously swallowed and stood on her tiptoes to touch his soft lips.

Then she looked at him.

Wei Tings eyes were deep.

Was there no reaction?

Had she taken the initiative too much?

Su Xiaoxiao stepped back on the ground and turned to leave.

Wei Ting suddenly pulled her back into his arms, grabbed her head with one hand, and pressed her down heavily.

He kissed her, not giving her any chance to escape, taking every breath she had.

Su Xiaoxiao was dizzy from the kiss and her body went weak.

The maids shyly hid in the house.

After the kiss, even her eyes were moist, and every bone in her body gradually went numb.

She leaned against his chest and whispered, I I cant stand

Wei Ting picked her up horizontally and strode towards the room.

The fireworks in the night sky were dazzling, and there was a commotion on

the sh.o.r.e and on the pleasure boat.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand in a daze.

She felt that she must have been bewitched. This man was too devilishly handsome, so devilish that she had forgotten his ferocity.

She took off his crown in a daze. His black hair cascaded down like black brocade and intertwined with her black hair.

He pressed down on her weakly and did not take the next step. He just looked at her without blinking.

In front of beauty, who could resist

Su Xiaoxiao put down the hair crown, cupped his handsome face with both hands, and gently kissed his good-looking lips.

The entire world fell silent, leaving only their breathing and strong heartbeats.

Wei Ting raised his hand and lowered the drapes..
