After finishing a piece of osmanthus cake, Xia Taoyuan stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I should go back now."

Chu Xingluo looked at her, his eyes sparkling: "Don't worry, this is your first time in the mansion, I'll take you for a walk." Ever since that night when he and she had a drink and she was drunk, and he carried her to the bed, he had an indescribable feeling for her.

"Haha, it's hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so I'll respectfully obey your order." Xia Taoyuan couldn't explain why, but she actually felt a little happy in her heart that Prince Jing didn't let her go.

The two of them left the study, and Qingyun Longyan was chatting happily with Zhu'er and Cui'er. Seeing the two of them coming out, Longyan Qingyun immediately came to Chu Xingluo's side.

Chu Xingluo said: "You guys chat, I'll take Miss Wei for a walk."

They walked towards the back garden, passed through a bamboo forest, and came to a lake. The surface of the lake sparkled in the sunlight.

Chu Xingluo said nothing, but Xia Taoyuan kept talking, "Your palace is much bigger and more beautiful than the garden of the prime minister's residence." "Is that a peach tree over there? You can eat peaches in a few months." "It would be nice if there was a swing between those two trees."

Chu Xingluo listened silently. Xia Taoyuan spoke one sentence after another, but he didn't feel noisy at all. Instead, he felt very relaxed. Xia Taoyuan's chattering sounded like pleasant notes to him, and gently opened his long-silent heart.

Time passed quietly, and after a while, Long Yan came over from a distance and called the two to eat. Long Yan was stunned when he saw Chu Xingluo's expression. Chu Xingluo's mouth corners were slightly raised, as if he was smiling. His Highness hadn't laughed for a long time, and he couldn't remember the last time His Highness laughed.

Chu Xingluo was too worried and thought too much, so he looked a little gloomy. But now he looked very happy.

Long Yan looked at Xia Taoyuan and saw that she was in high spirits. He knew it was all because of her. He couldn't help but feel a little favorable towards this Miss Wei. It didn't matter whether she was the real Miss Wei or the fake Miss Wei, as long as she could make His Highness happy.

The palace has been dull for too long. Long Yan now wishes Prince Jing could marry Miss Wei right away to add a bit of vitality and hope to the palace.

After lunch, Xia Taoyuan looked at Chu Xingluo and said seriously: "You should smile more often, don't always have a gloomy face, as if others owe you eight hundred dollars. People who love to smile will have good luck."

Chu Xingluo smiled faintly and said softly, "Okay!" Xia Taoyuan suddenly felt her eyes brighten. Chu Xingluo's smile was as bright as the stars, dazzling and dazzling. Her little heart also began to beat wildly.

Xia Taoyuan certainly knew what was going on with her. She was moved. She had been in love before and had watched many TV dramas, so she knew exactly what she was like. But along with the moving of her heart, she was also a little apprehensive. She was afraid that if she was moved, she would not be able to let go. If she could not let go, how could she go home?

Xia Taoyuan just wanted to escape now. She was conflicted. She hated herself for being tempted, but she also knew that everything in the world could be controlled, except love. She stood up and ran out of the house, shouting for Zhu'er and Cui'er to come home.

Chu Xingluo was confused. He was fine just now, why did he leave in an instant? He quickly got up and chased outside the house, stopped in front of Xia Taoyuan, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Xia Taoyuan's heart trembled, and she shook her head and replied vaguely: "I just have the habit of taking a nap. I'm a little sleepy now."

"Rest in the palace. I'll take you back when you wake up." Just as Chu Xingluo finished speaking, Zhu'er and Yu'er came trotting over. The two little girls had just had dinner with Qingyun Longyan, and when they heard the young lady calling them, they hurried over, and Qingyun Longyan followed closely behind.

"Now that they are here, I'd better go back." Xia Taoyuan didn't dare to look at Chu Xingluo.

"Okay, I'll take you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Chu Xingluo did not try to persuade him to stay.

"No need. We're very close and will be there in a moment. You can go and have a rest." After saying that, Xia Taoyuan took Zhu'er and Cui'er and fled out of the palace.
