Chapter 364 The Flirtatious Husband
"Leaving? Where to? It's late now. Can't we go tomorrow?" Lin Wanrong asked with puzzlement.
Qin Xian'er shook her head slightly, her lips moving a few times before she whispered, "I want to see if that man is dead. If he is, I will set off fireworks in celebration."
Lin Wanrong silently chuckled. This young woman's stubbornness was evident. Even though she cared deeply for her father, she wouldn't express it directly. He laughed lightly and nodded, "Exactly, exactly. When the time comes, I will buy the fireworks for you, and we can set them off for days on end. Isn't your husband very considerate of you?"
A blush tinted Qin Xian'er's fair face, knowing she couldn't hide her feelings from him. Her gaze, full of affection, turned to him, an unspeakable sweetness in her eyes. Naturally beautiful, she was unparalleled in her beauty. Today, as she had been paying respects to her deceased mother, her plain attire added a unique charm that left Lin Wanrong with an itch in his heart. If not for the respect due at the grave of his mother-in-law, he might have taken advantage of the situation.
As dusk settled, Qin Xian'er, with matters weighing on her heart, hurriedly made her way down the mountain. Lin Wanrong followed her lead. Upon returning to the monastery's meditation chamber, they noticed the guards had dispersed. There was no sign of the old Emperor, who presumably had returned to the palace. Recalling the frail figure of the Emperor he'd seen earlier that day, Lin Wanrong sighed softly. It was fortunate he had arrived when he did; otherwise, misunderstandings between Xian'er and her father might have led to another tragedy.
Whether she acknowledged it or not, Qin Xian'er had become the esteemed Princess of Great Hua, a title of great prestige. As she had been on the mountain paying her respects, the imperial entourage waited for her return. Countless court ladies and eunuchs awaited her descent. When they saw the princess come down, they hastily knelt in salutation.
A serious expression crossed Qin Xian'er's beautiful face. Though dressed in plain robes, she exuded an air of grace and nobility. With a slight wave of her hand, she calmly said, "Everyone, please rise. I have urgent matters in the palace. Please hurry."
"Yes," the crowd promptly replied, and quietly got up, preparing to return to the palace.
