"After the prince returns from his morning court session, if you want to see him, go to the elegant courtyard and tell the housekeeper."

"But even if I told him, the prince might not be willing to see me, right? If he was interested in me, he should have come to my room the night before and last night."

But I didn't expect that Concubine Liu's "thinking" was so clear.

"So, sister is planning to wait for me here?"

Why did she find such a shameless thing so funny when she sat up?

"Please forgive me, sister. I must see him today and return home tomorrow. If I haven't even seen my husband in three days after getting married, my parents will definitely laugh at me when I return."

Concubine Liu smiled and nodded.

It makes me seem innocent when I say it.

But when Shen Zhishu tasted it, he realized there was another meaning.

The Emperor granted the marriage, but the prince refused to even meet Concubine Liu. If this were to get out, I don't know what the Emperor would think.

The prince already looked depressed yesterday. If he is criticized again, he will probably be even more depressed.

So this is considered a 'threat'?

But looking at her smile, she looks harmless and doesn't seem like one.

Xiaodie also said that when Concubine Liu left last night, she was not unhappy at all.

"Sister, you and my sister are in a similar situation. You should be able to understand what my sister is going through, right?"

"When I married into the palace, there was no such thing as returning to the royal family. My sister and I are both not considered the principal wife, so the rule of returning to the royal family is optional."

Use her as an excuse?

Shen Zhishu avoided it as usual, but he couldn't just join her side for no reason.

"Did the princess not even let you go through the door at that time?"

But I don’t know what Concubine Liu misunderstood the meaning of the sentence and actually asked like this.

Not really, I was just afraid, so I thought it was better to mind my own business.

If Yan Chu accompanied her back home, I wonder how angry the princess would be.

"The princess is not in the palace now, and you entered the palace in a hurry, so it is only right for you to go back."

"My sister wants to go back and explain everything here so that our parents won't worry."

Having said that, Concubine Liu sat down.

So we have to wait here with confidence for the prince to return.

Shen Zhishu didn't say anything either.

After breakfast, do your own thing.

I went to the yard for a walk first, then went back to the study to practice calligraphy...

But Concubine Liu really couldn't sit still.

He played chess with himself and even picked up a few pebbles from the flower bed to play with.

She looks very lively, a completely different personality from hers.

Shen Zhishu was tired from practicing calligraphy, so he leaned against the window and looked at the figure in the yard, and slowly fell into deep thought.

All she could think about was what she had done in the past two days.

Yan Chu came back a little late.

In the afternoon, the weather was hot, so the small kitchen made chilled watermelon.

Shen Zhishu inserted two pieces slowly.

Concubine Liu felt that it was not satisfying enough, so she held half a watermelon, picked up a spoon, and ate it with great gusto.

Seeing her ostentatious eating habits, she doesn't look like a lady from a noble family at all.

When Yan Chu arrived, what he saw was Concubine Liu sitting in the yard eating watermelon with a spoon, and Concubine Shen drinking tea and holding a collection of poems.

The contrast between movement and stillness is very strong.

"I pay my respects to the prince."

When Concubine Liu saw Yan Chu, she was very excited and bowed to him while holding a watermelon.

Moreover, her eyes were bright, and her expression showed that she wanted to pounce on the prince and eat him like a watermelon.

Yan Chu was also attracted by her and his eyes fell on her.

"No gift."

Then he walked up to her.

Shen Zhishu bowed silently and stood aside.

"A habit of staying in the mansion?"

The new woman in the palace had never been taken care of since she moved in. I guess Yan Chu was a little unresponsive when he saw her now.

"To answer your question, it's pretty good. The food in the palace is delicious, the people are nice, and the residence is more spacious than my home. I eat well and sleep well here. Moreover, Concubine Shen is gentle and considerate, and treats me very well. Even the watermelon she gives me is the best."

Concubine Liu also kept chattering.

But when she placed the watermelon in front of Yan Chu in a show-off manner, the watermelon that appeared looked like it had been bitten by a dog.

Her pretty face turned red and she immediately retracted it.

"Your Majesty."

When she looked at Yan Chu, her face immediately blushed.

After all, she is young and lively, and she looks so bright and cute under the sun.

Shen Zhishu was amazed. It seemed that the atmosphere would be very relaxed whenever she was there.

"Like watermelon?"

Yan Chu seemed amused as well, with a slight smile on his face.

"Ah."

She nodded quickly.

"Shu'er, send some to her yard later."

"Yes."

So he didn't look at her just now, but he knew of her existence, right?

Shen Zhishu remained silent, with a gentle smile on his face, and continued to look at Concubine Liu.

"My lord, I have a favor to ask of you."

Her face became even redder the next second.

Shen Zhishu had a hunch that what was going to happen next might not be suitable for her to hear.

But what can be done?

It seemed that Concubine Liu wanted to say it in front of her.

"You said."

Yan Chu, on the other hand, looked indifferent.

He also picked up the tea that Shen Zhishu had just drunk and tasted it.

There were so many teacups, but he insisted on drinking that half cup of herbal tea.

She felt a little embarrassed and looked at Concubine Liu with a guilty look.

She looked normal, as if she didn't notice this little detail.

He just blushed, built up his emotions for a while, and started talking about his own things.

"That is... we will have dinner here later. Your Majesty, can you come back to the hospital with me and stay for one night?"

Her face turned red with shame and her voice became softer.

But he kept looking straight at Yan Chu.

Even though Shen Zhishu had guessed what she was going to say, he was still shocked when he actually heard it.

Isn't she...too bold and too straightforward?

Openly and undisguisedly coming to 'steal people'?

"If Your Majesty is unwilling, you must at least wait for an hour. With your ability, it will take at least an hour."

She raised her finger and spoke seriously.

But this time he didn't have the courage to face Yan Chu, and lowered his head silently.

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?

Shen Zhishu's jaw dropped in shock, and she subconsciously looked at Yan Chu, obviously wanting to see his reaction, but his gaze fell directly on her. His eyes were puzzled, as if he was asking her what Concubine Liu meant by this?

She even interpreted that the prince seemed to suspect that she was talking nonsense.

She shook her head innocently and helplessly.

"I will be returning home tomorrow, and the two maids who brought me here will also have to go back to the palace to report. My Lord, it would be better for you to go to my place tonight."

Before the two of them could communicate clearly, Concubine Liu suddenly came over and whispered instructions.

His face was so red, even his neck was ripe, he looked so shy that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into, but he was also very serious.

She is so cute like this.

Shen Zhishu actually found this girl very interesting.
