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

It was not until dusk that Chu Musheng got on the carriage of Prince Sheng's Palace and headed to Prince Sheng's Palace.

After a busy day, his mind was a little confused.

Thinking about how he didn't let the princess go when she begged for mercy last night, he had a thought in his mind at that time: she was his.

Thinking back on this, I feel a little guilty.

Was I too rude?

The princess is so weak and pitiful.

He was worried that if he returned, the princess would not give in or even ignore him outright.

Chu Musheng returned to the palace with a nervous mood.

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, Nanny Wang came to greet him, holding the young master.

"Your Highness, you're back? The young master said he missed you!"

Chu Musheng chuckled. Xuan'er couldn't even utter a coherent sentence, but he already missed his father?

He took the child from Nanny Wang, and the young master hugged his neck with his little arms.

"Dad...Dad..."

Chu Musheng kissed him on the cheek and looked at Nanny Wang again.

"Where's the princess?"

Nanny Wang answered respectfully.

"The princess is in the storeroom with two maids counting the jewels!"

This little money-grubber would go to the warehouse to inspect it every few days.

Chu Musheng shook his head helplessly, holding the young master and asked again.

"Mammy, look at the princess. Is she in a good mood today?"

Nanny Wang thought about it.

"The princess is in a good mood today! Apart from getting up a little late, everything is no different from usual. This afternoon, she even took the young prince to the garden to enjoy the flowers and catch butterflies!"

"That's good."

Chu Musheng felt more at ease and strode towards the backyard with his son in his arms.

Before reaching the warehouse door, I heard Xu Keke's clear laughter.

"Oh, this jade bracelet is so beautiful."

Then came the chorus of ding-dang and anxiang.

"This one looks very valuable, and they're a pair!"

Chu Musheng walked into the warehouse and saw Xu Ke holding a jade bracelet and gesturing with it.

The maids Dingdang and Anxiang beside her were also helping to organize the jewelry.

"My dear, are you admiring the treasure again?"

Chu Musheng walked over with a smile, his voice gentle.

Dingdang and Anxiang quickly moved aside.

Xu Keke looked up at him and snorted.

"Your Highness, you only remember me now."

She complained, put down the jade bracelet in her hand, walked forward and took her son.

"Xuan'er, call me mother quickly."

The young master was very cooperative and grinned.

"...Mother, mother..."

"Oh, my dear son is so good."

Xu Ke was so happy that she kissed the child on the cheek.

The child touched his face with his little hands, and must have been wondering why both his father and mother loved to kiss his face.

Chu Musheng looked down at Xu Keke and said softly.

"I have been busy all day, and I came to see you right after I got back."

Xu Ke curled his lips.

"You still have some conscience."

Chu Musheng looked at her coquettish look, and the uneasiness in his heart dissipated a lot, and he said again.

"I was wrong last night. I shouldn't have been so rude. My beloved, please don't be angry."

Xu Keke's face suddenly turned red.

"The prince also said! The child is still here!"

Chu Musheng glanced at his son and hugged him again.

"Xuan'er is still young, how can he understand?"

Xu Ke glared at him.

"That won't do! We as parents should set a good example."

Chu Musheng coaxed hurriedly.

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more."

Chu Musheng called Anxiang and asked her to take the child away.

Dingdang and Anxiang carried the child out, and they were the only two left in the warehouse.

Xu Ke looked at him warily.

"My Lord, what are you going to do by sending them away?"

"Princess, don't you want to see the jewelry? I'll accompany you!"

Xu Keke then smiled and casually opened a sandalwood box.

Inside lies a night-shining pearl.

"Your Majesty, you said these jewels belong to me. If I take some out and exchange them for silver to support the disaster area, would you blame me?"

Chu Musheng frowned, somewhat unable to understand.

Xu Keke was staring at him, thinking he was unhappy.

Said with a pout.

"Your Highness, you said these all belong to me. Doesn't that mean I can't make the decision?"

Chu Musheng asked seriously.

"Princess, why bother with so much trouble? Can't you just donate the banknotes directly?"

License can be.......

Yes!

"Then I shall go to the counting-house and see how much cash we have in our house."

Chu Musheng took her hand and walked out.

"I haven't had dinner yet. Princess, please accompany me to eat some more."

The tone left no room for doubt.

Xu Ke followed behind him and glared at him.

Does the prince have a split personality?

On the one hand, he is domineering and authoritarian, on the other hand, he is gentle and affectionate.

When Anxiang and Dingdang saw the prince and princess leave, they hurried over to lock the warehouse door.

"It has to be locked tightly, so no outsiders can get in."

Dingdang said so.

Anxiang nodded.

"Sister Dingdang, you're right. Although there are secret guards here, it's still safer to lock it up."

After they locked the door, they carried the little prince to the baby room.

Now serving the young master has become their main job.

Chu Musheng and Xu Keke came to the dining hall, and the servants in the mansion quickly brought up the freshly prepared food.

"My dear, please sit down."

Chu Musheng pulled Xu Ke to sit down.

Xu Keke had already had dinner and was not hungry at all.

She saw that the prince had just had dinner, so she thought he must have been very tired today.

She put some food in Chu Musheng's bowl and watched him eat.

"Your Majesty, are you very busy today? Didn't the palace prepare any meals?"

Chu Musheng swallowed the food in his mouth.

"I was so busy today that I didn't have time to eat."

Xu Ke frowned slightly.

"How can that be? Your health is more important. Besides, you didn't sleep well last night."

Chu Musheng smiled slightly.

"Who said I didn't sleep well last night? I can sleep peacefully while holding my beloved concubine."

Xu Ke's cheeks turned slightly red and she remained silent.

Chu Musheng took a few more bites and looked at Xu Keke.

"Why aren't you talking, my dear?"

"I don't want to disturb your meal, Your Majesty."

Xu Keke said as he served Chu Musheng another bowl of soup.

"I know that His Majesty has a lot to deal with lately, and I feel really bad for him!"

This was said from the heart. Haven't you noticed that the prince's cheeks have become thinner recently and his chin has become more distinct?

Well, more handsome now.

Chu Musheng here is getting more and more demanding.

"In that case, my beloved concubine, would you please rub my back for me?"

Xu Ke was stunned when he heard this. Here, a husband asking his wife to rub his back is a kind of pleasure.

Is it possible that the prince is having some unrealistic thoughts again?

You did that last night, and now you’re doing it again today?

Xu Ke said earnestly.

"My Lord, you must take care of your body.

I am tired, but I can sleep until noon the next day.

You have to go out early in the morning to do something, how can you be so unrestrained?"

Chu Musheng ignored her, finished his meal in silence, and pulled her away.

"Accompany me to take a bath, dear!"

Half an hour later, Xu Ke was tired and thinking.

Yes, it’s for nothing.
