I am the champion of palace intrigue, and even the proud prince bows his head in submission.

Chapter 210 A tingling sensation immediately spread

Early the next morning.

"Where are we going?" Qin Jiuwei asked in confusion.

Xie Yanli woke her up early this morning and carried her to the carriage, but he didn't say anything to her.

"I'll take you somewhere," Xie Yanli said upon hearing this.

But after saying that, he fell silent.

Qin Jiuwei didn't care about that.

Xie Yanli wanted to surprise her, so she naturally went along with it.

But she had other worries, "What about the children?"

"Don't worry, I've taken care of everything." Xie Yanli chuckled. "Now, the Imperial Guards are outside Kaiyuan Temple, and there are countless secret guards inside. There's no way anything will happen."

"I also specially left thirty personal bodyguards, with ten bodyguards protecting each child, so there will be no problem."

Qin Jiuwei: ……

You're quite thoughtful.

Knowing that the child was alright, Qin Jiuwei was relieved.

As the carriage swayed, she closed her eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.

Kaiyuan Temple.

"Nan Nan." A very pleasant young voice suddenly rang out.

Nan Nan, who was originally squatting on the ground observing Xiao Hua, immediately looked up and saw Xie Jingchun striding towards her.

The young man in black was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, his eyebrows slanted sharply like swords, and his dark eyes looked at her with bright eyes.

"Greetings, Young Master Chun." Nan Nan immediately stood up and bowed.

"I've told you so many times, you don't need to be so polite when you see me," Xie Jingchun said casually.

He talked as he walked, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Nan Nan.

"Young Master Chun is considerate of me, but I must never offend him." Nan Nan shook her head.

The young mistress and young master Chun treat her very well; this is because their masters are kind and benevolent.

But if she forgets her duty because of this good thing, then that would be wrong of her.

Xie Jingchun lowered his eyes, looked at the nervous and innocent face of the young girl in front of him, and chuckled.

"You always have this expression when I see you." He tilted his head and smiled at her. "How come you've never changed, hmm?"

"This servant, this servant didn't..." Nan Nan was a little nervous, and her voice became weaker.

This is all because Young Master Chun is just too tall.

He was also a martial artist, with broad shoulders, like a young wolf poised to pounce.

Looking at her again, she had never been able to get enough to eat since she was a child, and she was a few years younger than Young Master Chun, but she only reached his chest. Compared to him, she looked like a little chick.

How could she not be nervous and scared?

But Young Master Chun just happens to enjoy teasing her.

She really didn't know what to do.

"Young Master Chun, is there anything else? This servant needs to go and pick flowers for Sister Xiaohe later."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xie Jingchun became a little anxious and quickly said, "Of course I have something to do. I have something to give you."

As he spoke, Xie Jingchun pulled something out from behind his back.

The object was covered by a black cloth, but you could vaguely make out that it was a bottle.

Nan Nan frowned, somewhat puzzled. "What is this?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Xie Jingchun smiled at her, lifting the black cloth as he spoke.

Almost immediately, Nan Nan's gaze fell on the bottle, and a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

Inside the glass bottle, countless fireflies were gently fluttering their wings, their faint, cold light flickering beautifully.

It was daytime, and the fireflies' light wasn't very noticeable, but Xie Jingchun had covered them with a black cloth, making them look exceptionally beautiful.

A black cloth partially covered the glass bottle, and the glow of fireflies danced and swayed erratically on the bottle's walls.

It was like countless stars falling from the sky.

It landed in Xie Jingchun's palm and was presented to her.

Nan Nan was mesmerized; it was the first time she had ever seen so many fireflies.

Seeing that she liked it, a smile appeared in Xie Jingchun's eyes.

"This is for you," he said.

"Give it to me?" Nan Nan looked up, her eyes full of surprise.

"Of course it's for you." Xie Jingchun nodded quickly, looking at her with a smile. "If I don't give it to you, who else would I give it to?"

Nan Nan looked at the fireflies in front of her, then looked up at Xie Jingchun, her eyes welling up with tears.

This was the first time she had ever received such a thoughtful gift...

Nan Nan knew Xie Jingchun quite well; if he said he would give it away, then he meant it, without any pretense or politeness.

She bowed and accepted the glass bottle, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Chun."

She thanked him so earnestly that Xie Jingchun couldn't help but touch his nose a little embarrassed.

"No, it's okay."

Just then, two little heads huddled together nearby, looking in their direction.

"I was wondering why my brother suddenly wanted to catch fireflies last night! I thought he wanted to take me along!"

Xie Jue pouted in dissatisfaction, feeling that her sincerity had been betrayed.

Yesterday he worked himself to the bone catching fireflies for his older brother, but today he gave them all away!

What does this mean?! This is outrageous! Bullying a child!

He will never call him "big brother" again!

From now on, he will only be called "Big Brother" by him indifferently!

"Hmm." Xie Jing responded calmly, his gaze falling on the two of them.

"Second brother, why did eldest brother give fireflies to Nan Nan? Why didn't he give them to me, or to you?"

Xie Jue crossed his arms and said with great dissatisfaction.

The eldest brother betrayed the three brothers!

Xie Jing shook his head gently and said in a low voice, "I don't understand."

It wasn't taught in the book.

Anyway, he wouldn't catch fireflies to give away.

During a jolt, Qin Jiu opened her eyes slightly.

The first thing that catches the eye is Xie Yanli's broad chest, followed by his large hand holding the book.

His other hand was tightly wrapped around her waist.

She had slept for far too long; Qin Jiuwei's cheeks were flushed, like peach blossoms in spring.

Xie Yanli noticed the commotion, turned to look at her, and saw this scene. His Adam's apple bobbed.

His hand slowly slid down Qin Jiuwei's cheek, stopping at her chin, his fingertips gently caressing it.

A tingling sensation immediately spread through Qin Jiuwei, who couldn't help but pant softly.
