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

Chu Musheng put down the teacup, stood up and walked towards their bedroom.

When I arrived at the bedroom, I didn't see Xu Keke.

"What about people?"

The maid Yaju quickly bowed.

"Your Highness, the princess has gone to the garden."

Chu Musheng turned and walked towards the garden again.

From a distance, I saw Xu Keke squatting by the pond, muttering to himself.

When he got closer and listened, he almost fainted from anger.

"You dog prince, you stinking idiot! I'll curse you to choke on water and fall down when you walk!"

Chu Musheng walked forward and looked down at Xu Keke.

"Princess, I see you are becoming more and more courageous!"

Xu Keke was startled and stood up.

"Huh, what are you doing here?"

Chu Musheng sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I was wrong about you, don't be angry."

Don't overdo the permission.

"Just one wrong accusation and it's over?"

Chu Musheng took her hand.

"How about I take you out for some delicious food as an apology?"

Only then did Xu Ke burst into laughter.

"That's pretty much it."

The two walked towards the dining hall hand in hand.

Dingdang and Anxiang, who were following behind them, looked at each other in surprise.

"Is it going to be fine so soon?"

Dingdang muttered softly.

Anxiang pulled her sleeve and walked forward.

"See? Neither the prince nor the princess is really angry."

Xu Keke chattered about the delicious food she wanted to eat.

Chu Musheng smiled and listened patiently.

When they arrived at the dining hall, the table was already filled with various delicacies and the servants automatically left.

Xu Ke excitedly walked to the dining table, sat down, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.

Chu Musheng tapped her head gently and insisted on taking her to wash her hands.

"My beloved, you were just picking up stones by the water. I will help you wash them clean."

Xu Ke followed Chu Musheng to the silver basin.

Chu Musheng helped her wash her fingers one by one, and after washing, he pulled them and smelled them.

"It's delicious."

Xu Ke chuckled.

"Your Majesty, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"What's intentional?"

Chu Musheng looked at her with a smile.

"You were being mean to me in the study just now. Did you want to see me lose my temper?"

Chu Musheng gently scratched Xu Keke's nose.

"Let's go eat."

Xu Keke curled her lips, and the two sat down to have dinner together.

Chu Musheng picked up food for her from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness.

While eating, Xu Keke suddenly stopped.

"Your Majesty, I will behave myself from now on and will not make you angry."

Chu Musheng raised the corners of his mouth.

"My princess has always been well-behaved and lovely. It's harmless for her to show some temper occasionally. I have to learn to adapt to it, right?"

Xu Ke was happy to hear that and fed Chu Musheng a mouthful of ginseng soup.

"Since Your Majesty has said so, I am relieved."

Chu Musheng swallowed the ginseng soup happily.

"As long as it's you, my beloved concubine, I will be happy to do anything."

Xu Keke's face flushed, as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom.

"My Lord, I will accompany you from now on."

Chu Musheng held Xu Keke's hand.

"My dear, you said this, don't go back on your word."

Xu Ke nodded seriously but did not make any promises.

Promises are only sincere at that moment, and fade away with every day thereafter.

So you don’t have to believe it.

She was just enjoying the love.

Accept love openly when it comes.

When love is gone, let it go with an open mind.

But her performance obviously made Chu Musheng feel much more at ease, and he took the initiative to tell her the news that Nanny Wang had found out in the palace.

"My beloved concubine, the piece of music you wish to know about was composed by Li Bianxiu, the son of the Prime Minister and a member of the Hanlin Academy.

Li Bianxiu was good friends with a great musician in the palace, so the song was able to spread to the palace.

If my beloved concubine likes it, I can take the music score back and have the artists in the palace perform it for her to enjoy."

That’s not necessary. Xu Ke has already got the answer he wanted.

The prime minister’s son, isn’t that Li Yueran’s brother?

No wonder the prince was unhappy. It turned out that he had accidentally asked another man.

Damn, the Dog Prince is so narrow-minded.

Xu Ke could figure this out and stop worrying about it.

"No, I just found the music fresh and new, and I don't think it's better than your playing of the guqin."

After hearing this, Chu Musheng was cured immediately.

He scratched Xu Ke's nose lovingly.

"As long as it can make my beloved happy, I am willing to do anything. If my beloved can wake up early tomorrow, I will show you my sword dance."

Xu Keke winked at Chu Musheng cunningly.

"As long as Your Majesty doesn't make trouble tonight, I can get up early tomorrow."

Chu Musheng ate the food calmly, his tone calm and composed.

"I'd better perform sword dance for my beloved concubine some other day!"

……

Within a few days, the poem "Song of the Wine" composed by Xu Keke at the palace family banquet spread throughout the circle of talented people in the capital.

Those literati and poets praised the poem highly, and they all marveled at its magnificent artistic conception and profound heroic spirit.

People were talking about this poem on the streets.

The scholars in the teahouse were reciting with passion.

"I was born to be useful, and I will come back after the money is gone."

In the poetry club, talented people had a heated discussion about this.

Someone praised: "Such confident words are deafening and can only be uttered by someone with extraordinary courage and spirit!"

Some people also sighed: "Such a free and unrestrained style is truly the best in poetry."

Even the always strict old scholar Master Zhang couldn't help but stroke his beard and sigh after reading this poem.

"This poem is full of vigor and talent. This Princess Xu is truly impressive."

For a time, various articles and poems with the theme of "I was born to be useful" continued to emerge in the bookstores of the capital.

But none of them can compare with it.

Xu Keke also became famous because of this poem and became a prominent figure praised by everyone in the capital.

The talented scholars gathered together, discussed poetry, and then turned the topic to the poet Xu Keke.

"I heard before that the Regent Princess was mentally unstable, but that was pure rumor. Just based on poems like this, it's clear that the Princess is extremely talented and intelligent."

"Yes, those rumors are really ridiculous. Such a masterpiece must have been created by someone with a sharp mind."

"It must be her cousin who pushed the Regent Princess down the stairs. She has been maliciously slandering her since early on and deliberately spreading rumors to destroy the Princess's reputation."

Everyone nodded.

"This gentleman's analysis is very accurate. That cousin dared to push someone down the stairs. What else would she not dare to do?"

"Now that this poem has been published, those rumors will naturally be refuted."

Everyone praised Xu Ke, and the previous slanderous words disappeared without a trace.

Xu Yuanyuan, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, was unaware of these public opinions.

She lived a miserable life in the Shen Mansion.

The personal maid she brought from her mother's home was a rebellious one.

On the third day, when she returned home, not only did she not speak up for her, she also made eyes at Shen Qingfeng in front of her family.

My grandmother and mother both realized that something was wrong, but they didn't say much.

Who can blame the Xu family for no longer having the glory it once had?

The master's confinement period had not yet ended, but he was demoted and transferred.

He was about to leave the capital and be sent to another province to serve as an official.
