Ji Zhen stood on his horse, tightening the reins in his hands, and looked at Zhao Youqing who suddenly appeared. Behind him, Chaoge was holding a lantern, standing with his head down, not daring to look over here. Ji Zhen frowned and asked:

"What are you crazy about?"

Zhao Youqing, who was standing in front of the horse, was wearing a crimson robe, with a deep gloom under his handsome brows. He stared at Ji Zhen and said:

"If I didn't see you in the morning, I would wait for you. But you didn't come to see me the whole day in the mansion. What's the meaning? We just got married..."

Ji Zhen quickly got off the horse, covered Zhao Youqing's mouth, dragged him aside, and said in a low voice:

"What are you crazy about? How can you talk about this kind of thing in public? Besides, what happened last night was not a wedding, it was just one night at most..."

"Do you regret it?"

Zhao Youqing pulled off Ji Zhen's hand that was covering his mouth and held it tightly, with a dark look in his eyes, which made Ji Zhen stunned. She suddenly realized that Zhao Youqing's strength was not less than hers, but he had never used it on her.

Noticing that Zhao Youqing was in a bad mood, Ji Zhen didn't care whether they were on the street or not, and let him hold her hand. With the other hand, she gently stroked his back, comforting him, and asked softly:

"What's wrong with you?"

"Do you regret it? Regret being with me?"

Zhao Youqing stared at Ji Zhen, holding her hand until it hurt, and kept repeating these words like a possessed person.

Ji Zhen sighed, hugged him gently, put herself into his arms, and whispered:

"How could that be? I have never regretted it. It's just that I went to Yin's office for something, so I came back a little late. Have you had dinner?"

As Ji Zhen was talking, she took Zhao Youqing to the guest house. But Zhao Youqing locked Ji Zhen motionlessly and asked stubbornly:

"Why didn't you come to see me all day?"

Ji Zhen was helpless. She stood on tiptoe, asked Zhao Youqing to lower his head, and gritted her teeth in his ear:

"That's because I'm shy! You fool!"

Zhao Youqing stared at Ji Zhen's blushing face in confusion for a long time, until Ji Zhen quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek. He finally believed her words and was pushed back to the guest house by Ji Zhen.

But when they returned home, Zhao Youqing would not allow Ji Zhen to leave his sight again. He followed her closely, as if Ji Zhen would disappear into thin air if he missed a step.

Ji Zhen was really helpless, so she had to ask Chaoge to go to the palace to tell them first, and then ask Wen Daoxing to ask the kitchen to send over some side dishes.

It turned out that the food was personally delivered by Wen Daoxing. There were sixteen food boxes in total. The contents were so rich that Ji Zhen was stunned. She looked up at Wen Daoxing blankly and asked:

"Mr. Daoxing, is today a special day? Why is the meal so sumptuous?"

Wen Daoxing glanced at Zhao Youqing who was staring at Ji Zhen eating, raised his eyebrows and said:

"It's not that special, but Shigemitsu said that since it's His Highness' first time eating out, we should cook more so that His Highness won't go hungry."

Ji Zhen blushed, and before she could refute, she saw Zhao Youqing pick up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in her bowl, and said seriously:

"I wanted to say this last night. You've lost a lot of weight recently. You really should eat more."

Ji Zhen immediately took a piece of food with chopsticks and stuffed it into Zhao Youqing's mouth, gritting her teeth and saying:

"You should eat more too!" Talk less!

This Zhao Youqing! Is he afraid that others don't know that she spent the night at his place last night? In two days, the Yan State delegation will arrive. Does he not care about his reputation at all?

Ji Zhen felt that her face was only in name only.

Soon, Ji Zhen finished her meal at the fastest speed in her life. Just as she was holding the tea brought by Zhao Youqing and wanted to take a breath, Wen Daoxing leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Your Highness, are you going to prepare the contraceptive soup today as well?"

puff--

The tea sprayed all over the floor.

Ji Zhen stared at the water stains on the ground, feeling that they were very similar to her own face which existed in name only.

Never mind, whatever. It's just face, she doesn't want it!

Ji Zhen put down the teacup in despair and shook her head at Wen Daoxing.

In fact, Ji Zhen had no plan to spend the night at Zhao Youqing's place today. She planned to leave after putting him to sleep.

"No, you can go back first. Take good care of Yunzi. He is too weak and needs more nourishment."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Wen Daoxing led his men back to the palace. Ji Zhen stood in the courtyard with her hands behind her back, looking at the bright moon in the sky. Zhao Youqing walked to her side with a cloak, draped it over her shoulders, and gently hugged her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Youqing gently kissed Ji Zhen's earlobe and buried his head in her neck.

"I miss you. I wonder if you will see the same full moon as me after you return to Yan State."

Zhao Youqing was slightly startled, then he hugged Ji Zhen tighter and looked at the bright moon with her.

"People cannot reach the bright moon, but the moon follows people wherever they go. Zhenzhen, we will never be separated."

Ji Zhen laughed when he heard this, turned his head and rubbed his face and said:

"Why, you don't want the throne anymore?"

Zhao Youqing looked up at the moon and laughed at himself:

"You make it sound like if I return, the throne will be within my grasp."

Ji Zhen also looked up at Zhao Youqing, and said with a half-smile:

"You have spent so much energy and even schemed against me. If you still cannot become the emperor when you return, I am afraid that your Yan State will not last long."

"Well, if I fail, you have to support me. After all, I am already yours, Your Highness."

Zhao Youqing hugged Ji Zhen tightly in his arms, mumbling like a spoiled child.

Ji Zhen didn't expect him to say such a thing, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She pushed him away, looked at him carefully, and raised her eyebrows and said:

"I never thought I would hear such shameless words from the third prince of Yan. It's crazy."

After that, Ji Zhen placed half of the black jade in Zhao Youqing's hand, held his hand tightly and said seriously:

"Youqing, I have arranged everything. Your three thousand and the two thousand guards I transferred from the northwest are all in Tanzhou. They are only separated from the Yan Kingdom's altar by a river. You can use this black jade to command them to act, and integrate them with your uncle's five thousand troops, and then you can go straight to Huanglong."

"Zhenzhen..."

Zhao Youqing held half a piece of black jade in his hand, feeling uneasy. Ji Zhen looked deeply into his eyes and said word by word:

"After you return, I will put pressure on South Vietnam to help you ascend the throne. But you must promise me that you will never start a war again in your lifetime. How do you think?"

"What about you? Zhenzhen, what should we do?"

Zhao Youqing stared at Ji Zhen, as if he wanted to lock her into his eyes. But Ji Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, smiled at him and said:

"The Yan State delegation will arrive soon. They will stay in the capital for about twelve days. So, for the next ten days, we will be a pair of immortal lovers. What do you think?"

"What about twelve days later? Will you go with me?"

"Shh..."

Before Zhao Youqing could finish his words, Ji Zhen put her index finger on his lips, muffling the remaining sound.

"Youqing, you can go crazy. But you can't be too greedy."
