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

Xu Ke agreed softly and followed Chu Musheng into the dormitory.

Chu Musheng was probably really tired, and fell asleep soon after lying down.

Xu Ke lay beside him, listening to his even breathing and looking at his well-defined face.

The more I watch it, the more I like it. I feel like I can never watch it enough.

Then, she felt sleepy, pulled Chu Musheng's arm as a pillow, and slept soundly.

The two of them slept until night fell.

The street in the city where the lantern festival was held was brightly lit, and there was a constant stream of pedestrians coming to admire the lanterns.

Chu Musheng was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and a silver-white cloak on the outside to keep out the wind and cold, which made him look tall and straight and noble.

Xu Keke's outfit was equally impressive, beautiful yet dignified.

Before leaving, the prince's chief guard Sheng San brought the two of them several animal masks for them to choose from.

Xu Keke picked a fox mask.

After putting it on, he raised his face and looked at Chu Musheng.

"Your Majesty, do I look like a human to you?"

Chu Musheng was stunned when he heard this.

Ask for seal?

He rubbed Xu Keke’s head.

"No matter how I look at you, you look like my princess."

Chu Musheng picked out a tiger mask and put it on.

Xu Ke stared at him.

"Your Highness, why do we have to wear masks? Is the Lantern Festival also Halloween?"

Chu Musheng answered with a smile.

"Of course, it's because of the mystery surrounding the prince and the princess! Mainly because the prince returned to the capital without permission, and no one in the court knew about it.

This prince does not want to be recognized on the street, and you, my beloved, do the same. Tonight, just be an ordinary couple with this prince!"

Xu Keke looked at his luxurious brocade robe and her own extravagant attire.

An ordinary couple?

Who can be fooled?

At best, they are a fairly wealthy couple!

The two of them took the mansion's carriage hand in hand and arrived at the street where the flower exhibition and lantern festival were held.

After getting off the carriage, the couple walked hand in hand on the busy street, with their guards and maids in front and behind them.

"My lady, look at this lantern, isn't it beautiful?"

Chu Musheng pointed at a lotus lantern and asked gently.

"How beautiful, sir!"

Xu Keke held the fox mask on his cheek with one hand and answered exaggeratedly.

This caused Chu Musheng to chuckle.

"My naughty lady!"

The two continued walking forward, admiring the various exquisite lanterns along the way.

Xu Ke was attracted by a small and exquisite Jade Rabbit Lantern and stopped in his tracks.

Upon seeing this, Chu Musheng asked Sheng San to buy it with money without saying a word and handed it to Xu Keke.

"If my lady likes it, then take it."

Xu Ke accepted it with great joy.

"Thank you, sir."

Then she reacted and looked at Chu Musheng suspiciously.

"Sir, didn't you transfer all your assets to me? Are you squeezing my monthly salary?"

Chu Musheng......

"Don't worry, my lady. I won't squeeze my monthly salary. Hey, my lady, don't leave!"

At this time, there was a commotion coming from the front. It turned out that Xu Ke saw someone performing juggling.

He walked forward quickly.

Chu Musheng caught up with Xu Keke and moved over. The couple watched the acrobatics with great interest.

After the performance, they went to guess riddles.

Xu Ke was very smart and guessed several correctly in a row, winning many small prizes.

Give all these prizes and lanterns to Sheng San.

"Sir, look how powerful I am!"

Xu Ke proudly showed off to Chu Musheng.

Chu Musheng looked at her lovingly and gave her a pat on the head.

"My wife is naturally very intelligent."

Before he knew it, it was getting late and Xu Keke was feeling a little tired, so he stroked his waist and abdomen.

"Sir, I usually fall asleep with our child at this time. I slept a few hours longer this afternoon, and now I feel sleepy again."

Chu Musheng put his arm around her waist and spoke softly.

"Madam, let's go back home! We can't tire you and the child out."

Xu Ke nodded obediently and leaned her head on Chu Musheng's chest.

After returning to the mansion, Chu Musheng sent Xu Ke back to her room, watched her fall asleep, and gently stroked her belly.

Here, his life continues.

Chu Musheng was grateful and prayed devoutly that the child would come into this world safely.

After Xu Ke fell asleep, Chu Musheng put on his armor and quietly left the city to reunite with the soldiers.

The next day, Xu Ke woke up, looking forward to Chu Musheng's return.

After dressing up carefully, she took Dingdang Anxiang and the guards from the mansion to the agreed restaurant to meet Princess Rui.

The restaurant was bustling with people coming and going.

Xu Keke and Princess Rui looked out the window excitedly, waiting for the victorious generals to pass by.

Finally, the sound of horse hooves and cheers came from afar.

"Regent, Regent..."

People on the roadside waved colorful flags and held banners that read "Welcome the Regent's triumphant return to Beijing," shouting heartbreakingly and movingly...

Wow, is this the ancient version of star-chasing?

Xu Keke stood at the window, sighing and looking out.

Yesterday I told the prince which restaurant they were in.

Chu Musheng led his soldiers and walked over heroically, his eyes passing by the second-floor window of the teahouse and restaurant.

They saw each other, and in the sea of people, their eyes met.

The moment Chu Musheng, who was riding on horseback, saw Xu Keke, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and the tenderness and joy in his eyes seemed to overflow.

When Xu Ke saw Chu Musheng's gaze, her heart skipped a beat and her cheeks flushed, but she couldn't bear to look away.

Princess Rui saw Xu Keke's expression and jokingly said, "Are you shy, little sister? Look at the look in the prince's eyes, his heart and eyes are filled with little sister."

Xu Keke whispered.

"My sister always makes fun of me. Have you seen Prince Rui?"

Princess Rui was indeed distracted by her words. She searched among the soldiers below, but could not find the figure of Prince Rui.

Downstairs, Chu Musheng withdrew his gaze, straightened his back, and made a gesture. The advancing team suddenly stopped and the soldiers pulled the reins of their horses.

You were walking just fine, why did you suddenly stop?

The shouting people were a little confused, so they stopped shouting and started discussing with each other.

"Are we standing in the wrong position?"

"Is it because we didn't shout in unison?"

Under the puzzled gazes of the onlookers, Chu Musheng dismounted gracefully.

"So handsome! The Regent's heroic demeanor is enough to keep me reminiscing for a whole year..."

"The Regent's long legs, I really want to hug them..."

Xu Ke, who was standing at the window looking down, was also scratching his head, but he was not sure what to do.

Before she could react, Chu Musheng disappeared. A moment later, he came to the second floor of the restaurant and pushed open the door of their room.

Although Princess Rui did not understand the Regent's magical operation, she still consciously stepped aside and gave space to Chu Musheng.

Chu Musheng walked up to Xu Keke with a smile.

"Princess, long time no see!"
