The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Xu Keke was just daydreaming.

Not knowing how he answered, I gave him a questioning look.

Chu Musheng understood immediately, patted her hand, and told her softly.

"I told my mother that I would work together with you, my beloved concubine."

Xu Keke pinched him under the table.

This princess thought he was greedy for my body, but it turned out that the dog prince was eager to have a child.

If this princess is unable to bear children, should the waiters and mistresses appear to help her out?

When that time comes, how should I deal with it?

The palace banquet continued, with melodious music of stringed instruments and graceful dancers.

Xu Keke had no intention of appreciating it, as his mind was full of thoughts about whether he should ask Master Chen to come and take a look at it again.

After finally waiting for the palace banquet to end, Xu Ke and Chu Musheng got on the carriage and returned home.

Nanny Wang, Dingdang, Anxiang and others took the last carriage.

The carriage in the middle was filled with the gifts Xu Keke received today.

The prince's guards followed him in front and behind on tall horses.

Along the way, Chu Musheng had a smile on his face and his eyes were always on Xu Keke.

Xu Ke felt uncomfortable under his gaze and turned to look out the car window.

"Why is your Highness looking at me like this?"

Chu Musheng moved closer to her and spoke softly.

"Don't worry, my beloved. I will let you know my true feelings tonight."

Xu Keke's straight-shooting spirit emerged again. She held Chu Musheng's hand and hesitated for a long time before asking.

"Your Highness, um, I mean, if this princess is unable to have children, will you marry someone else?"

Chu Musheng was stunned for a second and pinched her nose.

"What are you thinking, my beloved concubine? I married you because I love you.

How could you marry someone else just because of something so fictitious? Don't let your imagination run wild."

Xu Ke felt a little relieved after hearing this, but still asked uncertainly, "Are you serious?"

Chu Musheng took her into his arms and answered solemnly.

"Of course I take it seriously. I will never let you down in this life."

Xu Keke nestled in his arms and nodded gently.

"Then I will believe you, Your Majesty."

Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

Chu Musheng got off the carriage first, and then carried Xu Ke down.

The guards in front of the mansion gate lowered their heads one after another, not wanting to listen to or see anything indecent.

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, Manager Yao came over and bowed to him.

"This old servant respectfully welcomes the prince and princess back to the palace."

Xu Keke glanced at him. Why did he have to be polite every time he entered or left the palace?

Chu Musheng patted her back gently and looked at Manager Yao.

"But something?"

Manager Yao lowered his head and replied.

"General Shengyi has been waiting for the prince in the Star Observatory for a long time, saying that he has something to discuss with the prince."

"Well, I understand."

After Chu Musheng finished speaking, he took Xu Keke's hand.

"I will escort my beloved concubine back to Jinyun Palace first."

Xu Ke gently pulled his hand away.

"Since Your Majesty has something to do, please go ahead and do it. I can go back by myself."

Chu Musheng frowned slightly, seeming a little worried.

"Then my beloved concubine, please be careful. I will come to you after I finish dealing with the matter."

You may bow slightly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Chu Musheng turned and walked towards the Star Observatory.

Xu Keke took Dingdang and Anxiang to Jinyun Palace.

Nanny Wang was left behind to direct the servants in the mansion to move the gifts brought back from the palace.

Back at Jinyun Palace, Xu Keke sat on the couch. Dingdang came forward to massage her shoulders, and Anxiang also stood beside her.

Finally found a time when the prince was not around.

"You two should sit down and rest for a while. You've been waiting here all day. Are you tired?"

Xu Ke pointed to the bench beside him.

Dingdang and Anxiang sat down obediently.

"Miss, you are truly amazing. Everyone praised the poem you wrote today. The Empress Dowager even had many copies copied so that it could be widely circulated to show off your literary talent."

Dingdang was talking with her little mouth chattering, while Anxiang smiled and nodded beside her.

Xu Ke blinked a few times. The poem was not written by him. He was just a porter traveling through time and space.

If there are really like-minded people here, you might as well get to know them.

Anyway, he is now holding the strong support of the Regent, so he is not afraid.

After thinking about it, Xu Ke decided to ask them both.

"Are you two free recently?"

Dingdang and Anxiang nodded and shook their heads.

When the prince is around, they are not allowed to get close to him, but as the princess's maids, they have to serve by his side.

"My lady, do you have anything for us servants to do?"

Anxiang asked as she moved closer.

Xu Ke nodded.

"The dancers at the family dinner today performed beautifully. Miss, I'm very interested in the music and would like to know who composed it."

Dingdang and Anxiang looked at each other.

An Xiang said, "Miss, you might as well let Nanny Wang inquire about this task. Nanny Wang has a close personal relationship with Nanny Rong, who is by the side of the Grand Empress Dowager. Nanny Wang can be worth two people at once."

"Well, Miss, I'm going back to my room to sleep for a while. You two can find a chance to talk to Nanny Wang about this later."

After saying this, Xu Keke stood up and walked towards the bedroom. Dingdang and Anxiang hurriedly followed.

As long as the prince is not around, the two of them can go anywhere with the princess.

Xu Keke walked into the bedroom and lay down on the bed directly. Dingdang and Anxiang were busy making the bed and lowering the bed curtains.

"You guys go down and rest too. I'll call you if there's anything else."

Xu Keke said a little sleepily.

The two of them answered yes, quietly left the room and closed the door.

Xu Keke was lying in bed, feeling a little tired physically but his mind was very active.

She thought about the opportunity that brought her here, and wondered whether Xu Yuanyuan was her enemy.

Did she kill the original owner? Also, should I avenge the original owner?

And there's that beastly Shen Qingfeng, will they really fight each other after they get married?

If they could live in peace, wouldn't that be a good thing for them?

But with my current identity, it is really inconvenient for me to find out about them.

Suddenly she remembered the man in black who protected her when she was at her mother's home. Was he the legendary secret guard?

Xu Keke's mind suddenly twitched. He clapped his hands together twice and shouted, "Secret Guards, come here."

The door opened, the emerald jade curtain was gently lifted, and Anxiang walked in alone.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

License can...

I called the secret guard, what are you doing here, Anxiang?

Forget it, it is said that Anxiang also knows some martial arts. I'll just use her for now. In the evening, when the prince comes, Anxiang will be free.

Thinking of this, Xu Ke waved to Anxiang.

Anxiang leaned over and Xu Ke whispered a few words in her ear, and Anxiang nodded repeatedly.

"Miss, this is a trivial matter. I will go to the Shen family tonight and ask about their location first."

"Well, I didn't expect that besides being positive, you're also quite confident, Anxiang. Then go ahead!"

Xu Ke looked at her encouragingly, her eyes seemed to say, I’m rooting for you!

After Anxiang left, Xu Ke felt relieved and finally fell asleep in a daze.

On the other side, Dingdang found Nanny Wang and told her what Xu Ke had confessed.

After hearing this, Nanny Wang nodded in agreement, said something to Chief Steward Yao, and then took the palace's carriage back into the palace.

After Chu Musheng finished talking with Sheng Yi, he dismissed the servants and returned to Jinyun Palace.

Seeing that Xu Keke had already fallen asleep, he tiptoed into the bedroom and sat beside the bed, looking at her peaceful sleeping face.
