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

Dingdang and Anxiang had been guarding in the outer room. When they saw the door open, they hurried forward.

"Miss, you finally opened the door."

Dingdang said.

Xu Keke sighed.

“I’m not really angry with the prince, but the way he looks really scares me.

I was afraid that if I ran a step slower, his fist would hit me."

Anxiang comforted.

"Miss, the prince cares too much about you, that's why he is so angry."

Xu Ke curled his lips.

"Care? Does caring mean you can ignore my feelings?"

Dingdang asked weakly.

"Miss, since you are afraid that the prince will hit you with his fist, why do you always provoke the prince's anger?"

Xu Ke looked at the bird cage that Dingdang and the others had hung up, and the parrot inside was jumping around non-stop.

How should I explain this to them?

If it’s hard to explain, don’t explain it.

Xu Ke walked to the birdcage and taught the budgie to recite poetry.

"Life is precious, love is more precious, but for the sake of freedom, both can be abandoned."

"Wow, Miss, you've written another poem. Should we copy it down and bring you some fame?"

Dingdang looked at Xu Keke with shining eyes.

Xu Ke nodded.

"can."

Dingdang quickly went to get a pen and paper.

Subtle fragrance...

I heard from Sister Dingdang that there's a Mr. Chen over there who specializes in reading other people's brains...

At this time, Dingxiang, the maid who was doing Xu Ke's makeup, came in with a tray.

"Princess, the prince sent some of your favorite snacks."

Xu Keke was slightly stunned, with a complicated emotion in his heart.

Is the Dog Prince going to give in?

"Let it go first."

Xu Ke picked up a piece of cake and ate it.

Yes, it was the crystal hibiscus cake made by Liang Yuchu in the mansion. It was indeed her favorite dessert.

Eating sweets always makes people feel better.

Xu Keke's mood immediately improved a lot, and he invited Dingdang and Anxiang to sit down and eat together.

On the other side, in the Regent's study.

Chu Musheng flipped through the memorials on the desk.

I was in a depressed mood and couldn't concentrate at all.

In order to spend more time with the princess, he probably brought back all the memorials that shouldn't have been taken out of the palace to the palace for comments.

The princess couldn't understand him.

Not only did she not understand, she also turned the tables and said that I was the one who restrained her.

I did say a nine-year agreement at the beginning, but that was because I could only accompany her for nine years at most.

It doesn't mean that after nine years, she can find another man as she pleases.

She is not satisfied with becoming my princess?

Oh, woman!

It's really unreasonable.

At this time, someone knocked on the door. Chu Musheng was delighted, thinking that it was the princess coming to see him.

But he heard Sheng Er's voice.

"Your Majesty, may I come in?"

"come in!"

Chu Musheng, who had already stood up, sat back in his chair.

Sheng Er came in with a tray of food.

"Your Majesty, the princess sent someone to deliver your favorite snacks."

Chu Musheng looked at the snacks on the plate in confusion.

"Put it down, and step back."

Sheng Er put down the snacks and walked out.

Chu Musheng picked up the snack and took a bite.

The cake is soft and moist, white in color, and has a rich osmanthus fragrance.

It melts in the mouth, has a fresh and fragrant taste, is oily but not greasy, and has no astringency.

It is crispy and smooth when swallowed, with a hint of sweetness and saltiness, and a hint of coolness.

It is the osmanthus cake made by Chef Liang Yu, and it is indeed his favorite dessert.

But the problem is that the princess doesn’t know!

In order to eat the same cake with the princess, Chu Musheng always said that his favorite cake was Crystal Hibiscus Cake.

Chu Musheng frowned, becoming more and more confused.

Could it be that the princess went to inquire about it on purpose?

Or is this just a coincidence?

He put down the cake in his hand, stood up and paced around the room.

Recalling the moments he had spent with the princess, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

But when he thought of today's quarrel, his smile fell again.

"No, how can my emotions be controlled by a woman, even if she is my princess?"

Chu Musheng muttered to himself.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door again, and the footsteps were very light.

Chu Mucheng's heart moved, thinking that it should be the princess coming this time.

The door was gently pushed open, and it was his secret guard who came in.

"Your Highness, the princess just wrote another poem."

"Send it up."

Chu Musheng sat back in his chair.

The secret guard placed the poem he copied on the table and then left.

Just like that, Xu Keke's new work was on Chu Musheng's desk before it even left the house.

After reading the princess's new poem, Chu Musheng knew that the snacks on the table were not sent by the princess.

It must have been an idea that was thought up by one of the housekeeper Yao or Nanny Wang.

The purpose is very clear, which is to help him reconcile with the princess.

Chu Musheng looked at the poem angrily.

The princess is still stubborn!

Why can both be abandoned if it is for the sake of freedom?

I think she is just acting!

Chu Musheng suddenly crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it on the ground.

"Dog Princess, you stinky idiot."

He imitated the curse words he had heard the princess use last time and paced back and forth in the room with a terribly gloomy expression.

"You are so good, Xu Keke. I am sincere to you, but you are so ungrateful!"

"Is life something that can be thrown away so easily? Does she know how much effort we, the men of the Chu royal family, have put in to survive past thirty?"

He said through gritted teeth.

But after a moment, he gradually calmed down.

The princess may really not know this.

Perhaps she was just speaking in anger and was frightened by my arrogance today.

Chu Musheng took a deep breath, sat back in his chair, picked up the crumpled paper on the ground, and slowly smoothed it out.

Looking at the poem again, there was a hint of helplessness and sadness in his eyes.

"Someone is coming."

Chu Musheng shouted.

The secret guard appeared in the room in an instant: "Your Highness."

"Go check who the princess has been in contact with recently and whether anyone has whispered anything in her ear that shouldn't be said."

Chu Musheng ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The secret guard took the order and left.

Chu Musheng leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and Xu Keke's face appeared in his mind. He swore secretly in his heart.

No matter what, I will not let you leave.

Then he thought that besides An Liu who was in the open around the princess, there were also secret guards he sent to watch over her.

Where can the princess go no matter how angry she is?

The princess suffered a brain injury when she was young, and her brain may really not be healed.

Thinking of this, Chu Musheng felt relieved and began to read the memorial carefully.

When he finished his work, it was already dark and the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the courtyard.

The setting sun, the gentle breeze, and the flowers blooming all over the building form a beautiful picture.

The secret guard came to report again.

"Your Highness, no one has ever said anything inappropriate to the Princess, and the Princess has never come into contact with anyone she shouldn't have."

"Well, let's get down!"

Chu Musheng put away the memorials on the table, stood up and walked towards Jinyun Hall.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the princess's two maids.

Chu Musheng waved his hand, and the two maids tactfully retreated far away.

He walked through the main hall and reached the door of the wing room, then gently pushed it open.

I saw Xu Keke sitting in front of the window, holding his chin and staring out the window in a daze.

He walked closer slowly and spoke softly.

"What is the princess thinking?"
