My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

A moment later.

Qin Yanqiu slowly nodded.

"So, I'm leaving now?"

Qin Yanqiu looked at Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang waved his hand, "Go ahead, I won't see you out. I will come to find you after a while."

Qin Yanqiu nodded slightly and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly, she turned back around, her somewhat cold hands reached up and clasped the back of Cheng Guang's neck.

Gently pulling down.

She rested her forehead against his for a moment.

Then she hastened her steps.

She walked away briskly.

Cheng Guang stood there, chuckling and touching his forehead.

"This little ice block, when did she learn to do this too."

"If you had taken even one step slower, I wouldn't have let you go."

At that moment.

Qing Luan and Ning Qianxue seemed to have finished cooking, bringing the food to the stone table.

Qing Luan, watching the fading figure of Qin Yanqiu, asked, "Did Miss Qin just leave like that?"

Cheng Guang sat down, glanced at the food on the table, carelessly picked up his chopsticks, and started to savor a piece of meat.

"Yes."

Qing Luan hadn't heard the conversation between Cheng Guang and Qin Yanqiu, so when she heard Cheng Guang's affirmative reply, her mouth curved in a smile, her eyes twinkling with laughter.

"In that case, congratulations are in order for Miss Qin's pregnancy, Princely Heir."

Cheng Guang laughed, "What's there to congratulate? I, the heir, am strong and healthy, isn't having a child normal?"

Qing Luan shook her head slightly.

Sighed softly.

Gently caressing her waist and abdomen, she felt a sense of dim sorrow.

Cheng Guang just glanced at Qing Luan's gesture before he shook his head in amusement and then teased her with a wink.

"What, do you want a child too?"

Upon hearing Cheng Guang's words, Qing Luan first paused in surprise, then hurriedly asked with delight:

"Princely Heir, is it possible?"

Cheng Guang's hand lifted slightly, mimicking a knock, and gently tapped Qing Luan's head.

"Of course not."

Qing Luan's brow furrowed, holding her head as though in pain, then huffily dropped her hand and turned her head away silently.

She appeared to be upset.

Seeing her reaction, Cheng Guang couldn't hold back a smile and explained, laughing, "I am still too young and haven't thought of having children yet."

"It's different for Qin Yanqiu; her purpose is to have children."

"If she gets pregnant sooner, I can be relieved sooner. Otherwise, with this daily business, even an immortal wouldn't be able to withstand it."

Qing Luan, hearing Cheng Guang's words, seemed to understand something. She lightly bit her red lip, wanting to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she fell silent.

At this time, Ning Qianxue also picked up her bowl and chopsticks, starting to eat together with Cheng Guang, offhandedly saying, "Qing Luan, why are you thinking about having babies? It's so boring to have children."

"I think, being happy yourself is the most important thing. My mother-in-law told me before, once you have children, a woman is no longer a woman, but a mother, and being a mother is tough, not just anyone can handle it. Moreover, I've heard that childbirth is very painful, which scares me."

"If possible, I'd rather not have children at all."

Ning Qianxue seemed heartlessly cheerful.

Qing Luan looked at Ning Qianxue with envy.

Ning Qianxue chatted with Qing Luan casually as they ate.

Cheng Guang, on the other hand, enjoyed his meal and listened to them with contentment.

Cheng Guang had only been listening for a short time when he put down his chopsticks.

He suddenly looked toward the courtyard entrance, as if he saw something.

After a few breaths, from around the corner of the shaded path outside the courtyard, a middle-aged man in dark clothes with a jade-like countenance approached.

The newcomer was a surprise to Cheng Guang.

Yet not unfamiliar.

Cheng Guang's eyebrows lifted slightly, a hint of surprise on his face.

"Why has Zhao Jin come here?"

"The sudden appearance of the Secret Realm on Five Daos Mountain seems to have saved Zhao Jin's life; otherwise, after what happened last time, Zhao Jin would have been executed by Emperor Zhou or silenced by now."

Cheng Guang pondered in his mind.

Zhao Jin stopped at the entrance to the courtyard, not coming inside, and bowed from a distance to Cheng Guang.

"Princely Heir, the Crown Prince sent me to summon you."

Before Cheng Guang could speak.

Ning Qianxue expressed surprise, "The Crown Prince? Who's that?"

Having heard Zhao Jin speak the words "Crown Prince," Cheng Guang's eyes flickered, and he soon realized.

Zhao Jin's reference to the Crown Prince.

It must be Wu Ling, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

Zhao Jin replied to Ning Qianxue's puzzled expression with a smiling face.

"Wife of Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is naturally His Royalty, the Crown Prince."

Cheng Guang's guess was confirmed.

But Cheng Guang still did not understand.

Why Wu Ling sought him out at this time.

Shouldn't she be busy searching for Emperor Zhou's whereabouts?

Why would she spare the time to concern herself with him?

She had also deliberately come to see him during the previous wedding.

Yet she had left without a word after merely glancing at him.

Cheng Guang frowned, puzzled, "The Crown Prince sent for me? What's the matter?"

Zhao Jin smiled without speaking, silent for a moment, before replying:

"The Princely Heir will understand once he meets with the Crown Prince."

Ning Qianxue frowned slightly, "Why are you still playing coy? If you're going to be like this, just don't go."

Zhao Jin's face showed a flicker of confusion, uncertain of what to say.

He could only look helplessly towards Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang finished his post-meal tea, tidied up his clothing briefly, and said to Ning Qianxue, "I'll go and see."

Having said that.

Cheng Guang stepped out of the courtyard, with Zhao Jin following behind him.

Watching Cheng Guang depart, Ning Qianxue pouted, "Isn't that Crown Prince the same woman who suddenly blocked the doorway during the wedding day?"
