Qin Junyu sighed, pressed his brows, and decided not to think about these futile things.

……

West Wing.

Qin Fengtian was lying on his side on a low couch, playing with a Luban lock.

He looked left and right, twisted it up and down, and fiddled with it for a quarter of an hour but still couldn't find a way to break the problem.

He changed from lying on his side to lying flat, with one leg raised and the other leg resting on his knee, swaying as he pondered.

In the end, Qin Fengtian was so angry that he smashed the Lu Ban lock, whose cracking progress was 0, towards the door, but unexpectedly, it did not make any sound that made him feel happy.

The door was pushed open, and the Lu Ban lock happened to hit the corner of the robe of the person coming in. With the resistance, it only made a slight muffled sound when it fell to the ground.

Qin Fengtian moved his eyes upwards to the face of the visitor and was really startled. He sat up suddenly on the low couch and swallowed his saliva, "Eunuch Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Fuhai is the chief eunuch beside the Queen and the person the Queen trusts the most. He has to review every detail. At this point, he should be serving in the palace, so why is he coming to the Prime Minister's residence?

He muttered a few words in his heart, could it be that the queen mother sent him to monitor him? Zhou Fuhai was a cruel and ruthless person with deep scheming. He didn't like to stay with Zhou Fuhai.

Zhou Fuhai bent down to pick up the Luban lock, put it under his lips and blew on it, then sneered, "Why is Your Majesty so angry? Did anyone offend you? I will marry the Queen immediately and let her make the decision for me."

Qin Fengtian sat awkwardly, his legs together, his hands on his knees, "No need, Eunuch Zhou, I'm fine, don't bother my mother with such a small matter."

Zhou Fuhai did not respond. He lowered his eyes and untied the Lu Ban lock in two or three moves. It seemed like it was just a simple thing.

"How can such a small thing catch the prince's eye?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Qin Fengtian said nothing, but he retorted in his heart: I can play whatever I like, and it is not your turn to comment on it!

He casually placed the part on the table, pulled out an envelope from his sleeve, and handed it to Qin Fengtian. "The Queen asked me to deliver a letter to the Prince. Please take a look."

It turned out that someone was delivering a letter.

"Got it. I'll read it later." Qin Fengtian took the letter and looked outside. "It's getting late. Eunuch Zhou, please go back. By the way, tell my mother not to worry about me. I'm fine."

Knowing that he was trying to drive him away, Zhou Fuhai did not plan to stay long. He just delivered the Queen's words of concern and left.

After the door was closed, Qin Fengtian sat up cross-legged and unfolded the letter to read it carefully.

In addition to some words of concern, he mainly mentioned that he should find more opportunities to cultivate his relationship with Nian Susu to prepare for their engagement in the future, and also asked him to perform more in front of Nian Chengyun to leave a good impression.

Looking at the three words "Nian Girl" in the letter, Qin Fengtian felt a little dazed, as if he smelled the scent of onions and garlic, heard the shrill sound of a piano, and even imagined her dancing like a madman.

He was startled, and the letter appeared in front of him again.

On one side was the will of his mother, and on the other was his own thoughts. After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Fengtian decisively chose the former.

After receiving the letter, Qin Fengtian went to the east wing.

The east wing is particularly quiet.

Qin Fengtian went forward and knocked on the door. After a moment of silence, someone inside responded with "Come in".

Nian Susu was having dinner and Zhihua was serving him.

She thought Qin Junyu had something to explain, but she didn't expect that it was Qin Fengtian who came in.

"Miss Nian." Qin Fengtian smiled but didn't really smile. He looked at Nian Susu with fear in his eyes. "Is it not disturbing you?"

Whether it disturbs you or not, you are disturbing me now.

Nian Susu put down his chopsticks, signaled Zhihua to clear the things away, and called another maid outside the door to serve tea.

The two of them sat on either side of the coffee table. Zhihua and the maid who served tea left, leaving them alone in the room. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Nian Susu broke the silence and said, "My Lord, is there something wrong?"

Qin Fengtian looked reluctant when he came in, and Nian Susu had no desire to chat with him at all.

"Yes." Qin Fengtian nodded blankly, considering how to start the conversation.

"Go ahead."

Nian Susu was so straightforward that it scared him.

Qin Fengtian carefully selected his tone and words, and said tentatively: "I heard that the night market in the market is very lively, but I have always stayed in the palace and have never seen it, so I would like to invite Miss Nian to go shopping with me."

Nian Susu raised her eyebrows, so... Qin Fengtian wanted to date her?

Didn't this guy avoid her a few days ago? Why did he suddenly change his nature?

The only person who could make Qin Fengtian so obedient was the one in Yikun Palace.

The queen doesn't know that her son now sees Nian Su Su as if he were the god of plague.

Nian Susu refused without even thinking, "Your Majesty, the murderer hasn't been caught yet, I really don't have the mood for entertainment, how about next time? Next time for sure!"

This reason was also her truest thought. Now all the families in Shengjing were in a panic. If she took Prince Qing out to the night market at this critical moment, and Qin Fengtian disappeared at that time, she didn't know how she would be scolded.

For the sake of her own personal safety and reputation, she could not go out with Qin Fengtian.

Qin Fengtian said "Oh" and was obviously in a low mood.

Nian Susu was also afraid that Qin Fengtian would really come to find her next time, so she quickly launched a second attack, "Prince, let me say something unpleasant. You and His Highness both moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate a case, but how come His Highness only knows how to go out every day to collect clues and patrol the mansion, while Your Highness gets up in the morning to play with birds, goes to the kitchen to order dinner at noon, and sits on the corridor with a Luban lock for half a day. Are you here to help or to have fun in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Qin Fengtian's face turned red.

Feeling that what she said was not harsh enough, Nian Susu added: "You know how many people outside are comparing Your Highness with the prince. This matter shows that you are not even one-tenth as good as His Highness!" She deliberately raised the tone and scolded in a tone of "Look at Zi Han".

The hand outside the door that was about to knock on the door paused.

Qin Junyu felt as if a heat was rushing from his chest to his forehead, and his face turned red.

The conversation in the room continued, but he could not hear a word. His mind was filled with the words "not even one-tenth of His Highness's."

After an unknown amount of time, the door was suddenly opened.

The two men collided head-on.

Qin Fengtian's face turned red and his neck became thick.

Qin Junyu's face turned red and his ears became hot.

Perhaps Qin Fengtian felt ashamed when being seen by his mortal enemy in this state, so he fled without even saying hello.

Nian Susu, who was inside the room, saw a person standing at the door. He stretched his neck to look outside and called out uncertainly, "Your Highness?"

Qin Junyu became inexplicably nervous, and the sentence "not even one-tenth of Your Highness's" lingered in his mind.

He walked in with his neck stiffened, and when he met the charming and lively fox eyes of Nian Susu, he was speechless for a moment and even couldn't remember the purpose of coming here.

She sat at the table. Perhaps it was because of the tea she had drunk, her red lips were glowing with water. Her watercolor skirt made her look even more charming.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Nian Susu tilted his head in confusion, "Your Highness?"

Qin Junyu came back to his senses, a rare look of panic appeared on his face.
