The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

At that time, Lu Ming had a stubborn temper and a wild personality. He had never been so concerned about any woman. No matter if she was a royal princess or a commoner's daughter, there was no difference in his eyes.

But the ten-year-old Yan Qing convinced the always arrogant and arrogant Suzaku King, and even lost control several times because of his powerlessness. The most serious rage was that he almost couldn't help but lead his troops to rebel.

Fortunately, the most tormenting year has passed. For Yan Qing, that tempering was her chance to be reborn.

However, for other participants and bystanders, it left a shadow that can never be erased.

"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes the Duke." A black-robed Shen Mo walked quickly from the mansion, knelt on one knee, and saluted Yan Qing respectfully, "May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

The other Qilin Guards knelt in unison, full of momentum: "Your humble servant respectfully welcomes the Duke!"

"No need to be polite." Yan Qing walked in, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Shen Mo lowered his eyebrows, "The Regent and Uncle Chen are here, would you like to see me?"

Yan Qing turned his head and looked at Lu Ming: " You guys go take care of your own things first, and come to the palace for dinner in the evening." Lu Ming said: "There is nothing to do, you can stay now-" "Your Highness has just come back, shouldn't you take a bath, change clothes and rest for a while?" Langya dragged him away, "Why are you so tactless?" "Let me go." Lu Ming shook off his grip neatly and shouted majestically, "You are so disrespectful, how can you behave?" Langya sneered mercilessly. "Then your Highness, take a rest first, I will make some arrangements." Lu Ming said goodbye for the time being, "Don't forget to prepare the dishes and chopsticks in the evening." After a careful exchange, Lu Ming left reluctantly. Yan Qing looked at Shen Mo: "Where does the Regent live?"

"The temporary palace."

Yan Qing hummed and walked towards the courtyard: "I will rest for half an hour first, you can send someone to invite him over later."

"Yes."

Yan Qing had only been away from Suzaku City for a month, and was very familiar with his own mansion, so he didn't need others to interfere.

On the contrary, Wen Jin, who had returned here after three years, looked at the mansion that had changed a lot from three years ago, and didn't know what to feel in his heart.

Maidens were walking around in front of the courtyard, holding basins in their hands, fetching water, serving tea, and sweeping.

Seeing Yan Qing coming, they all put down what they were doing and knelt down to salute.

"Your Highness." Chenxiang, the maid of Qihuang Court, came over and took off Yan Qing's coat. "I have asked someone to prepare hot water in the bathtub, fresh flower petals just picked this morning, and the incense in the hall is ready. Your Highness, please take a fragrant bath and have a good rest."

Yan Qing looked at the well-cared potted plants on both sides of the yard and said lightly: "You have worked hard."

Chenxiang said respectfully: "It is what I should do."

Yan Qing walked into the courtyard, climbed the steps, and stepped into his own bedroom. Behind him, a person followed quietly, with his eyebrows lowered, and said nothing, like a carefully carved human-shaped jade sculpture.

Yan Qing told Chenxiang: "Prepare more dishes for dinner, in case the distinguished guests come, and bring the jars of peach wine that I have collected."

"Yes."

Yan Qing went to undress and take a bath. The bathing pool of the Ninth Duke's Mansion was drawn from the hot spring water of Queshan Mountain, which was naturally warm. There were fresh petals of various colors floating in the bathing pool, and the air was filled with fragrance.

Several beautiful maids knelt respectfully on one side, waiting for the son to take a bath.

Yan Qing leaned against the bathing pool, eyes slightly closed: "Clean up Wen Jin's room later, he will stay there tonight."

"Yes."

Yan Qing lived in Qihuang Palace, the palace of this duke's mansion. Wen Jin used to live in Fuyunju on the south side, not far from Qihuang Palace.

However, Wen Jin did not really "live" for a long time. His residence had a study, a piano room, and a punishment room for kneeling and reflection.

Compared to the empty bedroom, the study, piano room and discipline room can often be used.

Standing alone in front of the window, Wen Jin looked indifferent and distant, with a layer of mist covering his eyebrows and eyes, hazy and always separated by a layer of distance.

When Yan Qing came out in a loose robe, Wen Jin turned around and lowered his eyes, "Your Highness."

"I will entertain the Regent this evening, so I don't have time to care about you. Go wash and change your clothes. After you get ready, go to the study and kneel down to copy the Heart Sutra twenty times." Yan Qing's tone was cold, revealing a pressure that could not be ignored. "I have been too indulgent to you recently. Since you are asking for a beating, I will save you."

Wen Jin was silent, then lowered his eyebrows and responded: "No."

"Peach Blossom Wine is prepared for you." Yan Qing raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth, "So you should know what you will face after copying the sutra."

Wen Jin was silent, his face slightly pale.

"I gave you a chance to explain, but you didn't cherish it." Yan Qing's eyes were slightly cold, "Go now."

Wen Jin pursed his lips and responded, then turned and walked out.

Even though she knew that kneeling and copying the Heart Sutra meant that she would not be able to see her for half a day, she would entertain the Regent in the evening, and might go to the study to discuss things after that... But Wen Jin knew that she had no room to refuse.

The palace at this time was the palace that people feared in Suzaku City, which was completely different from when she was in Chu.

Yan Qing watched him leave, turned around and sat on the brocade couch, "Chenxiang."

"I'm here."

"I'll take a nap, and the Regent will come to call you."

"Yes."

The fact that the Regent Yan Cang personally arrived in Suzaku City was not only surprising to Lu Ming, but once this news spread to the fiefdoms of the other three kings, it would inevitably cause some speculation.

However, Lu Ming has calmed down in the past two days, and he even had two meals with the Regent. Yan Cang's unfathomable face showed no intention.

As for the irritable Uncle Chen, Lu Ming had no interest in dealing with him and ignored him. In the evening, Yan Qing decided to host a banquet for the Regent, but no one notified him.

Not afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, Lu Ming even wanted to keep him here forever to make fertilizer for the crabapple in the back garden of the palace.

Yan Qing walked into the inner room and lay down at the head of the bed.

The most exhausting thing is the journey. Now that he is completely relaxed, Yan Qing realizes that he hasn't had a peaceful and comfortable sleep for a long time.

He slept for an hour.

At about 5 p.m., Shen Mo came to report that the regent king was awake and Yan Qing had woken up.

Chen Xiang and her maid came forward to serve, wash her face, change her clothes and put on her makeup.
