"Our okra cooking skills are getting better and better," said Shangguan Ziling.
Qiu Kui scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Princess, it was Sister Chunxiao who taught me. She said that we should cook for you when we are away from home, so Sister Chunxiao taught me some things. Compared with Sister Chunxiao, I am still far behind!"
Shangguan Ziling laughed when she heard that. "Haha, I was wondering why it tastes similar to the cakes made by Chunxiao. Now that you mention it, I miss the cakes made by Chunxiao. And Xia Yu, I wonder if those two girls miss me?"
"They must miss the princess too," said Qiu Kui.
"That's true, but I still miss the food from my hometown the most." The young man sighed.
Shangguan Lingxiao fell silent after hearing his words. He knew that the young master's hometown was far away from the capital, and the journey was difficult and dangerous. He didn't know when he could go back again.
Shangguan Ziling looked at Mo Shaoxie and said, "Now that we're full, let's go home."
"Go... home?" Mo Shaoxie murmured.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing mother and them." Shangguan Ziling also looked at the capital city ahead, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
Mo Shaoxie couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart when he heard this. For Shangguan Ziling, the capital is not just a place, but also their home, where their relatives are.
"Okay, let's go back to the king...home first." Mo Shaoxie said, "We'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see my mother-in-law and others tomorrow."
"Yes." Shangguan Ziling nodded, "Let's go home first and visit mother and the others tomorrow."
"Go home..." Mo Shaoxie silently said this word again, feeling a little emotional. He didn't expect Ling'er to regard the palace as "home"? Yes! A home that belongs to both of them.
"Return to the palace..." Mo Shaoxie murmured, feeling a little excited. He was looking forward to returning to the palace as soon as possible and spending a peaceful and beautiful night with Ling'er.
The group quickened their pace and headed towards the capital.
Half an hour later, they finally returned to the capital.
The buildings on both sides of the street are looming in the dim lights, and the air is filled with a familiar and friendly atmosphere, which makes people relax involuntarily.
The night was falling, and the stars were twinkling. The lights in the Mo Mansion were bright, but at this moment, all the excitement seemed to have nothing to do with them.
Mo Shaoxie picked up Shangguan Ziling horizontally and strode through the front hall and the corridor. He had only one goal in his eyes - the quiet and mysterious hot spring pool.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a warm breath hit me in the face, accompanied by a faint scent of flowers and water vapor.
A strong desire surged in Mo Shaoxie's heart. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner waves.
Then, holding Shangguan Ziling in his arms, he slowly walked towards the hot spring pool, each step appearing steady and powerful.
Shangguan Ziling raised her head and looked at Mo Shaoxie.
Mo Shaoxie just happened to look down at her, and at that moment, their eyes met, as if an electric current was passing between them.
Mo Shaoxie's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"Ah!" Shangguan Ziling cried out softly, her hands tightly wrapped around Mo Shaoxie's neck. Her heart was beating like a drum, her breathing was rapid, as if she was frightened by Mo Shaoxie's sudden action.
Mo Shaoxie hugged her tightly, feeling her body temperature and heartbeat. His heart was filled with joy and satisfaction, as if he owned the whole world.
"Put me down..." Shangguan Ziling's voice was very low, but full of charm and temptation.
Mo Shaoxie looked at Shangguan Ziling with deep eyes, and the two of them just stared at each other quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Mo Shaoxie's eyes looked more and more profound as he looked at Shangguan Ziling. Shangguan Ziling couldn't stand his gaze and turned her head slightly.
Mo Shaoxie slowly lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Shangguan Ziling pushed him away and said, "Stop making trouble. Go to bed early tonight. I have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see my mother and the others early tomorrow!"
Mo Shaoxie's elegant and magnetic voice sounded: "Ling'er, it's still early. It won't be too late to go after you wake up tomorrow."
Shangguan Ziling wanted to say something, but Mo Shaoxie blocked her mouth. The atmosphere around the hot spring pool became ambiguous, and the two figures intertwined in the moonlight.
After an unknown amount of time, Shangguan Ziling fell into a drowsy sleep.
"What a little devil." Mo Shaoxie said softly, his eyes full of pampering and tenderness.
He recalled the intimate time they had just had by the hot spring. At that time, she was like a blooming flower, shining with the most dazzling brilliance. But now, she had fallen into a sweet dream, as if she no longer remembered the joy just now.
Mo Shaoxie gently stretched out his fingers and stroked Shangguan Ziling's cheek, feeling the softness and warmth of her skin.
His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if an electric current was passing through his body.
He looked at Ling'er's body with fiery eyes. She looked even more delicate and charming under the candlelight. Her graceful curves and snow-white skin made Mo Shaoxie's anger, which had just been relieved, rise again. His breathing became rapid.
Mo Shaoxie carefully held Shangguan Ziling in his arms and washed her body with warm water. His fingers gently wandered over her skin, as if playing a beautiful piece of music.
Sometimes he used force and sometimes he used gentleness, making Shangguan Ziling look satisfied even in her sleep.
After taking a shower, Mo Shaoxie carefully carried Shangguan Ziling out of the hot spring pool and dried her body with a soft towel.
His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was handling a fragile treasure.
Then, he carried Shangguan Ziling back to the bed in the room.
Her body looked so petite and helpless in Mo Shaoxie's arms, which filled Mo Shaoxie's heart with a desire to protect her.
He laid her gently on the bed and then lay down beside her, holding her in his arms.
"Ling'er, I love you." Mo Shaoxie whispered in her ear, his voice full of affection and tenderness.
Shangguan Ziling trembled slightly in her sleep, as if she felt Mo Shaoxie's love. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.
Mo Shaoxie looked at her sleeping face, his heart filled with tenderness and satisfaction.
Mo Shaoxie gently closed his eyes and synchronized his breathing with Shangguan Ziling's. Their heartbeats echoed in the silent night, as if telling of their eternal vows.
That night, their love was sublimated to the most perfect level. Their bodies and minds were completely released and integrated in each other's arms.
They know that no matter what difficulties and challenges they will face in the future, as long as they hold hands, nothing can stop them.
Their love will be like the eternal starlight, illuminating their way forward forever.
As the night passed, the sunlight filtered through the delicate window frames, casting patches of light onto the floor of the house.
Shangguan Ziling turned over in the warm bed and slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was a little blurry, as if she was still immersed in yesterday's dream.
She rubbed her eyes, trying to wake herself up. A ray of sunlight shone through her fingers and sprinkled on her face, bringing a hint of warmth.
"Hmm..." She yawned softly, then turned her head to look at the other side of the bed. There was no one there, only a pile of neatly arranged pillows and quilts.
