Only when Lin Qingyuan walked out of the palace gates did it occur to her that something was wrong.

The Emperor had forced them to accomplish something nearly impossible—how was that a blessing that would give them the best of both worlds?

She put a hand to her forehead in frustration.

She had let herself be duped by Lu Liangwei\'s words.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from behind her. She looked over her shoulder, only to grimace when she realized that it was Long Xuan.

She groaned inwardly. Why did enemies always run into each other?

If it were not for this nuisance of a man, the Emperor would not have matchmade them on a whim!

Lin Qingyuan boarded her carriage with the help of her maidservant.

Long Xuan approached just in time to see the carriage curtains being drawn.

It had been an unpleasant day for him.

All he had wanted was to see the three children, but he ended up getting himself into such a miserable situation.

Although his royal uncle had always treated him well, as the Emperor, he absolutely meant what he said. If Long Xuan could not find the right woman for himself within half a month, his royal uncle would really arrange for him to marry Lin Qingyuan.

Putting up with that unladylike Lin Qingyuan? No thank you!

Forget it—instead of complaining, he had better find someone as soon as possible.

Lin Qingyuan, who thought the same as well, urged the coachman to set out.

Soon, each of them had disappeared into the distance in opposite directions.

Grand Phoenix Palace.

As Lu Liangwei recalled what the Emperor had said to Long Xuan and Lin Qingyuan just now, she was deeply awed by the brilliance of his idea.

Now, those two would cast aside their disinterest in marriage and make every effort to find the right person for themselves, just to avoid having to marry each other.

"You\'re a genius, Your Majesty!" she could not help exclaiming.

"I thought you already knew that." Long Yang smiled at her as he patted Yaoyao gently on her back.

Having been fed, the baby girl started to doze off in the comfort of her father\'s pats.

"You\'re really ruthless too!" Lu Liangwei winked at him and rose to her feet with her sleeping son in her arms. "But it was an effective method, of course."

Long Yang burst out laughing. Seeing her carry Yin\'er into the inner hall, he got up with Yaoyao as well.

"Your Majesty, I want to sleep together with them for a while." After they had laid the children on the bed, Lu Liangwei turned to Long Yang, making her intent loud and clear.

Long Yang paused, glanced at the two children who were occupying his space, then caressed her cheek ruefully. "So you\'re telling me to leave?"

"It\'s not like that—it\'s just that the bed\'s not big enough. If you want to sleep here, you can sleep in the outer room," Lu Liangwei replied a little feebly.

Despite his reluctance, Long Yang grasped her by the shoulders. His eyes went to her rosy lips, and his Adam\'s apple bobbed. "Then you\'ll have to give me a kiss."

"Close your eyes." Since the Emperor was so cooperative, Lu Liangwei did not waste time acting coy either.

Long Yang gazed down at her for a brief moment before closing his eyes compliantly.

Gripping his arms, Lu Liangwei stood up on tiptoes and drew close to him slowly.

Just then, Long Yin, who had been asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared at Lu Liangwei quietly with his black orbs.

Lu Liangwei\'s gaze flickered over to her son inadvertently, only to freeze in mortification when she met his dark eyes.

Although their son was still young and innocent, being caught by him during the moment still flustered her.

After a while, when Long Yang still did not feel the softness of her lips on his, he opened his eyes. Lu Liangwei was looking at a spot behind him with her head on his shoulder, and seeing this, he turned around slowly as well.

Long Yin had already closed his eyes.

Seeing Weiwei staring fixedly at their son, Long Yang was annoyed. "What\'s so interesting about him?"

"He woke up just now, and he saw… he saw…" Lu Liangwei stuttered in embarrassment from being caught by her son in the act.

"He\'s asleep," said Long Yang wearily. "And even if he did see anything, it\'s fine. He\'s just a kid."
