That woman is not even worth a hair of her master.

"master."

"Eat." Shang Ruoyi said calmly, as if she didn't take the waiter's words to heart at all. However, Yunqi had been with her for a long time and knew that she looked really angry, so he quickly explained: "There must be some misunderstanding. The prince will never marry Princess Shuyang."

Shang Ruoyi was concentrating on eating the rice in the bowl without even raising her head.

"master."

"Eating can't stop you from eating?"

Yunqi quickly shut his mouth.

At night, Shang Ruoyi came to the space and wanted to rest for a while, but she kept thinking about what the waiter said. It was not that she did not believe He Jingheng, but she could not understand why Shu Yang wanted to come to marry.

At this moment, a wave came from outside the space.

Shang Ruoyi looked outside and saw He Jingheng using the tea set she had just used.

She walked out of the space, and He Jingheng sensed her breath and smiled, "It seems I still need to adapt. Otherwise, if you suddenly appear or disappear like this, I will still be a little uncomfortable."

Shang Ruoyi glanced at him and sat opposite him: "What are you doing here?"

"Knowing that you have entered Tianshun, of course I have to come and pick you up in person."

"I am not very familiar with the prince, why did you come to greet me?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "Besides, you are not in the palace preparing for the wedding, why did you come here to pick me up?"

"How do you know that this prince is going to get married?"

Shang Ruoyi was slightly stunned, then sneered: "This is all over Tianshun. They say that you, the prince, are going to marry Princess Shuyang of Southern Xinjiang. She has come all the way here with her dowry. If you don't accept her, the face of the King of Qi in Southern Xinjiang will be completely lost."

He Jingheng smiled and said, "Do you believe these rumors?"

"Why don't you believe it?" Shang Ruoyi said calmly, "If someone says so, you don't have to believe it, but if they say so, you have to doubt it."

He Jingheng walked up to her and was about to hold her in his arms, but was slapped aside by Shang Ruoyi.

"Men and women should not touch each other. Your Excellency, this is not the behavior of a gentleman."

He Jingheng rubbed his painful shoulder and smiled bitterly: "Who spread this rumor? This prince broke his bones."

After a while, Shang Ruoyi whispered, "Princess Shuyang is the daughter of the King of Qi. They were beaten so badly by me when they attacked Tianshun before. How could they still want to offend me?"

"It means you are too kind and showed mercy."

"Then I'll really hurt them this time." Shang Ruoyi glanced at him: "It's so late, what are you still doing here?"

"There are no vacancies in this inn."

"There are no vacant rooms, what are you doing here?" Shang Ruoyi pushed her out: "Go find Yunqi and the others!"

He Jingheng looked at the closed door helplessly. Shang Ruoyi was lying on the bed. Soon, a warm embrace came from behind.

Shang Ruoyi did not turn around. He Jingheng smelled the fragrance on her body and slowly closed his eyes.

This was the most sound sleep he had had in the past few months.

The next morning, before dawn, Shang Ruoyi opened her eyes and saw that he was still sleeping in the same position as last night, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, still looking like a gentleman.

Shang Ruoyi raised her palm and placed it on his chest. Just as she was about to send the energy in her body into him, a big warm hand covered her hand.

"It's still early, sleep a little longer."

"It will be daybreak in a little while. What will it look like if others see us?"

She transferred the energy in the space into He Jingheng's body, and only stopped when she felt his body had returned to its peak.

"So what if he saw it? We are husband and wife."

"I am dressed as a man now. If others see me, there will be gossip. If people say that the prince of Dingguo Palace has a liaison with Longyang, how can you marry Princess Shuyang?"

He Jingheng opened his eyes and pinched the tip of her nose with his hand: "You're causing me trouble so early in the morning."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and was about to speak when she felt the hand around her waist tightened, and her face suddenly flushed.

"It's better to let rumors spread, so that I don't have to explain to others why I can't get married." He nestled in the crook of Shang Ruoyi's neck: "I understand why some kings don't attend court in the morning. If you are a favorite concubine, I must be the incompetent king who doesn't care about state affairs."

"You're not ashamed to say that."

"What is there to be ashamed of? With a beautiful woman in my arms, who would care about the government?"

As the two were talking, Yunqi's voice came from outside the door: "Master, it's almost dawn, we should set off."

Shang Ruoyi pushed He Jingheng and said, "Get up."

After a while, the door opened.

Yunqi was just about to greet Shang Ruoyi when he saw a dark figure walking out of the room.

When Yunqi saw who was coming, his face turned pale instantly.

"Prince! When will you..."

He Jingheng glared at him and said, "Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?"

"I dare not." Yunqi said hurriedly: "I just didn't know you were coming." He was still staying in the Crown Prince's wife's room.

When I thought about how I had just knocked on the door, I wanted to slap myself in the face. Usually Yuntian did this kind of thing, but today it was my turn. If I had known earlier, I would have let someone else knock on the door.

After Shang Ruoyi finished washing up, everyone went downstairs to have breakfast.

They were considered to be the ones who got up early. The waiter brought the buns and porridge to them, rubbing his eyes and saying, "Sir, are you going to leave so early?"

"Yes! I want to go to the capital as soon as possible."

"It won't take long to get from here to the capital if you take a fast horse. I see the horses tied behind you are all Ferghana horses, and they run twice as fast as ordinary horses. When you get to the capital, you will definitely be able to catch up with our prince and princess."

He Jingheng didn't like these simple meals in the first place, and after hearing him say that, he wanted to smash the bun in his hand on his face.

"The excitement between the prince and the princess? What excitement?"

Seeing that he didn't know, the waiter perked up again and said quickly, "I can see that you are from another place, and you don't even know about this happy event. Our prince, the prince of Tianshun Ding, will marry Princess Shuyang from Southern Xinjiang soon!"

"Oh?" He Jingheng saw Shang Ruoyi giggling beside him and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"When did this happen?"

"It's just recently, you must not know. How can you be more informed than us?" The waiter said proudly: "Although we are located in the border area, we are well informed. What I said is correct!"

Seeing that Shang Ruoyi had almost finished eating, He Jingheng took out a few taels of silver and threw them into the arms of the waiter, and said in a deep voice: "You didn't see it with your own eyes, so don't talk nonsense. This prince didn't even know that he would marry Princess Shuyang, so how did you know?" After he finished speaking, he took Shang Ruoyi's hand and walked out.
