"Of course, I have etched you deeply into my mind so that even if I disappeared one day, I would still be able to find you." He raised an eyebrow, looking quite proud as he gazed at his delicate wife in his arms.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xuxu’s heart skipped a beat, and she glared at him with anger in her eyes, "Nonsense, if you dare to disappear, I’ll take our child to find someone else and let your offspring call someone else ’daddy,’ just to infuriate you."

"You wouldn’t dare, be careful or I’ll spank you," Dugu Chen’s stunning face turned dark in an instant.

"If you dare to vanish, I dare to do it," she retorted stubbornly, her little face also lifting to stare down the charming man before her.

The two glared at each other for a while until Dugu Chen eventually admitted defeat, "My wife, why would I disappear? I was just saying that, don’t be angry, I was wrong."

"Hmph," she pouted, displeased, and looked down.

"My wife, I was wrong. Please forgive me," he pleaded with a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, sending electric waves non-stop to Feng Xuxu.

"You’re only allowed this once, if you do this again, I’ll never pay attention to you," she rolled her eyes at him as he gave her that look, and spoke with displeasure while pouting her mouth.

Dugu Chen wrapped his arms around Feng Xuxu’s body and whispered softly, "Dare I have a next time? This time is enough."

"As long as you know," she said.

"Kiss me, my wife, please," he requested.

Taking Feng Xuxu’s hand, they slowly made their way toward the luxurious carriage at the gate of the mansion, and the carriage headed for the Imperial Palace.

They reached the Imperial Palace without any obstacles. It was Feng Xuxu’s second visit to the palace, where she observed the splendid and magnificent palace, exuding dignity and luxury everywhere.

The crowded hall buzzed as small groups of people mingled and networked. At a glance, every maiden waiting to be married was dressed to dazzle, their intentions abundantly clear.

"Sister," Zongzheng Tinglan carefully took Feng Xuxu’s hand, not daring to come too close.

"Oh, why is Tinglan being so good today?" Feng Xuxu asked curiously as she took Zongzheng Tinglan’s hand back.

With a face full of grievances, Tinglan began to list her complaints against her brother, "Brother wouldn’t let me go to the Prince Residence to see you, saying you were busy. And today when I came, he whispered so much in my ear, saying you now have a little baby, and that I shouldn’t get too close to you."

"You really are a good baby," Xuxu teased.

As soon as Beitang Qinmeng entered the hall, she noticed the very eye-catching figure of Feng Xuxu dressed in red. She approached and performed a formal greeting, "Qinmeng pays her respects to Princess Mei."

Feng Xuxu turned and saw that it was Miss Beitang, "Miss Beitang, please rise."

"Thank you, Princess," Qinmeng said with grace as she rose to her feet, every movement elegant and pleasing to the eye.

"Princess, may I call you ’sister,’ like Tinglan does?" she asked with a hint of hope, looking at Feng Xuxu.

Feng Xuxu looked deeply at Beitang Qinmeng, who didn’t shy away from her scrutiny, indicating that she had come prepared today.

"You must know that the Zongzheng Hidden Clan has already formed an alliance with the Xuanyuan Family and holds the Xuanyuan in high esteem. Even so, does the Beitang Hidden Clan also follow suit?" She spoke deliberately, her gaze never leaving Beitang Qinmeng’s face. Unfortunately, she couldn’t find any expression on it.

"Sister Feng, my elder brother is already well aware of this matter. Before coming here, he repeatedly instructed me that our Beitang will follow you, Sister Feng," Qinmeng assured her earnestly.

Feng Xuxu pondered for a moment. Although a large part of the reason for Beitang’s allegiance was likely due to Dugu Chen’s position as the Prince, it was still better than having another enemy.

"Then I will not stand on ceremony. I now have one more sister," she said, picking up her beautiful countenance with a smile as she looked at Qinmeng.
