Xie Xuanye muttered in a low voice, but Qin Shuhuang didn't hear him clearly at all.

Qin Shuhuang frowned and walked to sit next to Xie Xuanye. Seeing him mumbling again, she curiously moved to Xie Xuanye's lips to hear clearly what he said.

The next second, she no longer heard Xie Xuanye's voice, but there was a gentle kiss on her cheek.

Qin Shuhuang was startled and turned to look at Xie Xuanye. Perhaps it was because of the angle, but when she turned her head, their warm lips touched!
Qin Shuhuang looked at Xie Xuanye with wide eyes.

Xie Xuanye's eyes were also filled with surprise.

Qin Shuhuang blinked and immediately understood why Xie Xuanye was surprised.

He probably thought she did it on purpose!

She turned her head deliberately and took this opportunity to kiss him!

Once he understood Xie Xuanye's meaning, Qin Shuhuang's cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

She hurriedly pushed Xie Xuanye away.

Perhaps due to drinking, Xie Xuanye's face and ears were slightly red, and his deep eyes were as bright as stars.

Seeing that Qin Shuhuang looked like a caught naughty kitten, he couldn't help but said: "Is Your Highness satisfied?"

Qin Shuhuang's pair of apricot eyes slightly opened.

In the past, when Xie Xuanye thought she didn't know his identity, she couldn't help teasing him.

Now, why does she feel like the two people are the other way around.

Finding two red clouds quickly climbing up Qin Shuhuang's cheeks, Xie Xuanye's big palm slid down and grabbed Qin Shuhuang's hand, intertwining their fingers.

Xie Xuanye said warmly: "Your Highness, Happy New Year! Peace every year!"

Although New Year's Eve is tomorrow, Xie Xuanye can't help but congratulate them in advance. This year is their first Spring Festival after becoming a couple.

It was also the first Spring Festival that we truly spent together.

Even though they were in a foreign land, even though they were on the bitter cold border, the two of them were together.

Growing up, Xie Xuanye felt that he had not had such a happy and lively Spring Festival for many years.

What he used to fear most was the Chinese New Year.

Whenever the New Year is celebrated, the joyful atmosphere will accentuate the coldness of the town government's mansion, and the reunion of every household reminds him that he is alone.

Now, he seems to be no longer afraid of the joy of the New Year.

Because he also has someone who can warm him.

Seeing Xie Xuanye like this, all the cruel past lives in Qin Shuhuang's mind seemed to be far away, leaving only the affectionate man in front of him.

She suddenly threw herself into Xie Xuanye's arms, smelled the faint fragrance of wine remaining in Xie Xuanye's arms, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Xie Xuanye, Happy New Year! Can we wish each other this way every year from now on?"

Xie Xuanye's often cold face was full of tenderness at this moment, and he agreed in a mute voice.

The two tried hard to control the restlessness of their bodies.

After embracing each other for a long time, they slowly separated.

Xie Xuanye lowered his head and glanced at Qin Shuhuang's reddish cheeks, stretched out his hand to caress it, and coughed again to cover up the throbbing of his body, "Your Highness, I will go out and keep vigil for you."

After saying that, he went out in a hurry. Xie Xuanye was afraid that if he took another step too late, he would never be able to make up his mind again.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Renren took people to the inn to arrange the banquet.

Qin Shuhuang had already sent the invitation.

After breakfast, Mrs. Cao ordered someone to send luxurious palace dresses and jewelry.

The banquet is at noon.Qin Shuhuang planned to go to the inn with the Cao family until almost noon.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, the Xu Mansion received an invitation from He Yutian to the eldest princess's banquet, which was held at the inn.

A group of men from the Xu family were sitting in the flower hall, waiting for Xu Zizhang to make up his mind.

"Third brother, what do you mean by the eldest princess? Why did you suddenly invite us to the inn for a banquet today? It can't be the Hongmen Banquet!" the second master of the Xu family said in surprise.

Xu Er's son, Xu Xinsong, really wanted to cover his father's mouth at this time, but it was a pity that he was younger.

Xu Zizhang glared at Mr. Xu Er.

Mr. Xu Si crossed his legs and said, "We have so many old men in our family, why are we afraid of the Hongmen Banquet? You don't dare to go to me! I just want to try the banquet hosted by the eldest princess, but I wonder if there is braised pork elbow in the banquet!"

Yes, this is even more brainless.

Xu Xinchi, who was behind Mr. Xu Si, glanced at his father and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Xu Zizhang put down the invitation, "Okay! I will take Xinsong Xinchi to the eldest princess's banquet, and you all will stay at home!"

Xu Xinchi and Xu Xinsong's faces were happy, and they hurriedly responded, "Yes, third uncle!"

When Mr. Xu Er and Mr. Xu Si heard this, they were reluctant, "Third Brother/Third Brother, no, we need your care at home and in the military camp. We will go for you."

Xu Xinchi pressed his father's shoulders and said, "Dad! Second uncle! Third uncle won't let you go because he is afraid that you will cause trouble. If Her Royal Highness the eldest princess really misunderstands, how will my grandfather and uncle behave in the capital in the future!"

After Xu Xinchi said this, the two middle-aged strong men finally stopped.

"Okay, today is New Year's Eve, and there are many things to do at home. You go and help. You are not needed here. Just stay with Xinsong Xinchi."

Xu Zizhang finally drove away an elder brother and a younger brother.

In order to prevent them from eavesdropping, lieutenants were stationed at the door of the flower hall to guard the door.

The second master and the fourth master saw this and then left with stern expressions.

Without those two idiots, the uncle and nephew in the flower hall breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Xu Xinsong said: "Third Uncle, General Liu arrived at Xiagong City last night. Do we need to arrange more people in the dark to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess today?"

The inner city is a military city, and most of them are from the Cao family and the Xu family, and it is heavily guarded. It will be difficult for General Liu to take action.

But the situation is different at the inn. At the inn in the outer city, General Liu will definitely not miss this opportunity today!
Xu Xinchi rubbed his chin, "I think we not only cannot arrange more people, but also try to arrange as few as possible. His Highness may just want to use this banquet to consume the Cao family!"

Xu Zizhang patted the two young men on the shoulders, "You two are much smarter than your father. It involves the safety of the eldest princess. You still have to make arrangements, but the distance can be farther. Don't let the Cao family and General Liu People have discovered it. When the time comes, look at my gestures, I will ask you to call for help before you call, otherwise, stand still! Xinsong, go and inform your third aunt and ask her to set off with us at noon."

"Yes! Nephew, go right now!"

Time passed very quickly, and it was time to go to the banquet in a blink of an eye. The third wife of the Xu family, her husband, and their two nephews left the Xu Mansion and took a carriage to the inn.

Liu Renren and his people, with the help of the Cao family, had already decorated the hall for the guests.

As the time approached, officials from Xia Gongcheng arrived one after another.

Xiagong City is actually a military city. The two most respected families are General Xu Zizhang and General Cao Jian. The other officials are not high-ranking, but they are just foils.

Liu Renren asked people to lead the guests into the hall, and then heard Ah Hai report that the Xu family had arrived.

Only then did Liu Renren go to greet him in person. Mr. Xu San, his wife and two nephews from the Xu family came to the Xu family.

As soon as Xu Zizhang sat down, a servant came in from outside to announce that the people from the Cao Mansion and the eldest princess had arrived.

There was a burst of discussion in the hall that was already mostly full.

Many people here did not expect that the eldest princess would arrive with the Cao family.

Soon, everyone in the hall fell silent after hearing footsteps outside.

After a while, the eldest princess Qin Shuhuang entered the hall with the Cao family... (End of this chapter)
