My Lady is well

Chapter 45 Frankness

Luo Zhong came out of the Zichen Palace and was in a good mood today.

The reason is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally repented and decided to focus on his offspring, so he is going to Chaolu Pavilion today.

He looked at everyone as if they were a lovely girl, and smiled so hard at Jiang Ye that his body shook with joy.

She patted his shoulder lightly with her orchid finger, then retracted her finger and placed it on her lips, smiled, and spoke softly.

"Guard Jiang, His Highness wants you to come in."

Jiang Ye got goosebumps all over his body because of his smile. He shook his head quickly and calmed himself before entering the hall.

He lowered his hands and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Highness."

Jing Ruzhang did not look up, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed, his thin lips tightly pursed, he sat upright at the desk, writing a letter very attentively.

"It has been done, we are just waiting for your Highness' order."

Jing Ruzhan stopped writing, stamped the letter methodically, folded the letter, stuffed it into the envelope, and sealed it with wax.

He stared at the letter for a moment and asked.

"She went to the waterside pavilion today?"

Jiang Ye thought about it and realized who he was talking about.

"Concubine Shen went to the waterside pavilion today. I heard from the people below that when she returned, her face was not very good, and she almost threw your fan away."

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said lightly.

"She dares!"

Jiang Ye lowered his head in shock. He thought he might have heard it wrong. There seemed to be a hint of smile in the Crown Prince's voice.

Jing Ruzhang looked out the window.

"Let's go."

Luo Zhong carried a palace lantern and followed behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The further he walked, the deeper his frown became, and he hesitated several times to speak.

Thinking that he hadn't visited his masters for a long time and had even forgotten the way, I couldn't help but remind him with a smile.

"Your Highness, this is not the direction to Chaolu Pavilion."

Jing Ruzhang then remembered that he met Concubine Wen in the water pavilion and she said that she wanted to drink tea from Chaolu Pavilion.

He stopped and said, "Go to Chaolu Pavilion. I can't go there anymore."

Luo Zhong's smile froze and he looked up at him, hoping that he would have a change of heart and take back his words.

Jing Ruzhang glanced at him coldly: "What? You don't understand what I'm saying."

"Slave, slave, I'll go right away."

Luo Zhong handed the palace lantern to the young eunuch behind him with a sad face, shaking his head and sighing inwardly.

Jing Ruzhang stepped into the courtyard of Liufengxuan and took a cold look. He saw several hibiscus plants blooming gracefully and beautifully under the moonlight.

He stopped and looked for a few seconds, and suddenly remembered the delicate flowers on Shen Yueyao's temples swaying in the wind that day.

Qiu Ju was about to go in to report, but was stopped by him.

She secretly regretted not going to guard outside the yard. The master rewarded them with no dinner today and said he would give them a day off.

Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come.

Jing Ruzhan glanced coldly at Li Shun who was kneeling on the ground. Even the darkness could not hide the red mark on his face.

This woman is so cruel!

On the incense table stood a small carved celadon incense burner, which was filled with calming incense. The fragrance was subtle and far-reaching, giving a sense of solitude.

The red window is half-closed, letting in a few cool breezes.

Shen Yueyao, with her black hair half loose, leaned on the beauty chair and read a book.

The silk embroidery fell on the white arm, and the hand held a scroll, revealing a piece of white jade-like forearm, slender and delicate.

Jin'er, who was sitting nearby embroidering, saw Jing Ruzhang and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Shen Yueyao was startled when she heard the sound, and quickly threw the book under the tea table, then stood up and bowed.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jing Ruzhang glanced at her coldly, walked over, bent down slowly, picked up the book she had thrown away, and sat down on the rosewood chair.

Shen Yueyao's ears felt hot. She had gotten this storybook from outside. It was said to be written by He Yu, a storybook master of the previous dynasty, and was titled "The Feast".

It tells the story of the forbidden love between a prince and a queen, and the story is extremely exciting.

However, these words are not very serious and have a bit of sexual connotation.

The key is that it is now in Jing Ruzhang's hands!!!

Shen Yueyao's heart was pounding, and she wished she could knock a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Fortunately, he only glanced at the title of the book and put it on the small table beside him. Fortunately, the title of the book was serious.

Shen Yueyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What a risk, what a risk!

Jing Ruzhan glanced calmly at his folding fan on the tea table.

"I was wondering why I couldn't find it. It turns out you hid it."

"..."

Hiding it?! Wasn't he doing it on purpose?

This guy is really good at making up stories!

Shen Yueyao leaned forward uncomfortably and was a little unsteady on her feet.

Seeing that he had no intention of letting her get up, she gritted her teeth secretly.

"I went to the waterside pavilion today and found it."

Jing Ruzhang just asked calmly to see how he reacted.

"You went to the waterside pavilion today? What did you do?"

Shen Yueyao pursed her lips, lowered her head to look at the patterns on the floor, and mumbled softly.

"I...I asked Guard Jiang about His Highness's schedule yesterday."

"Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly." He said coldly.

"..."

Shen Yueyao took a deep breath, forced herself to hold on to her trembling body, and secretly told herself to calm down, calm down!

She softened her tone and said, "I know I was wrong."

Jing Ruzhang looked up at her, sized her up for a moment, and asked in a nonchalant tone with a hint of sarcasm.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yueyao was frightened by her stare. She didn't even dare to glance at him and only concentrated on studying the embroidery on the shoes.

"…I shouldn't have asked about His Highness's whereabouts without permission."

"Since you know you are wrong, tell me how to punish you."

Still need to be punished?!

Shen Yueyao's brows were furrowed and her chest rose and fell slightly.

Damn the imperial power, if he were in her world, she would tear him apart without hesitation.

Unfortunately, no!

Seeing that she was angry, he had to endure and submit.

Jing Ruzhang was in a good mood and leaned back.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a slight arc.

Shen Yueyao recalled that last time she was punished to copy "Legends for Women" fifty times for both crimes combined, but this time it was only one.

He asked tentatively, "Punishment... copying the Women's Rules twenty-five times?"

He didn't say good or bad, just said.

"Bring over what you copied last time so I can take a look."

Thankfully, she was finally able to get up.

Shen Yueyao rolled her eyes inwardly, walked to the desk, took out the punishment copy, and handed it to him.

Jing Ruzhang flipped through two chapters casually, raised his eyebrows and commented.

“The writing has improved.”

Shen Yueyao smiled perfunctorily. After writing so many words, how could there be no progress?

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."

Jing Ruzhang put her punishment copy aside, his eyes darkened, and he looked at her quietly.

His voice turned colder: "Why are you asking about my whereabouts?"

Shen Yueyao's brows sank slightly and she turned her head to look outside the door.

He turned around, was silent for a while, and then knelt down.

"I have something that I have concealed from Your Highness. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

Jing Ruzhang glanced at her and said indifferently.

"Tell me."

Shen Yueyao felt a little worried when she heard him evade the main point.

He simply ignored the topic of forgiveness and asked her to speak first. As for whether to forgive or not, it all depended on his mood.

The initiative is always in his hands.

She lowered her head and said, "I also met someone in Lanyue Palace."
