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

After lunch, the Duke and Chu Musheng were both a little tipsy.

Li Yueran was pregnant, so Xu Ke couldn't stay for long.

Li Yueran must have a good rest and take care of the baby with peace of mind.

Chu Musheng held Xu Keke's hand and took his men to bid farewell to Duke Ning and his wife outside the Duke's Mansion.

Chu Musheng bowed slightly.

"My Lord and Madam, I'm sorry to bother you today. The Crown Prince's wife is expecting a baby. I will have someone send a gift over someday."

The Duke quickly returned the gift.

"Your Highness is very polite. Your presence here has brought honor to our residence."

The Duke's wife's face was filled with genuine joy.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will definitely come to thank you when Xuzhi returns."

Chu Musheng smiled and said:

"My Lord and Madam, there's no need to be so polite. I'll take my leave now."

Xu Ke looked at Li Yueran.

"Sister Ran, you must take good care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."

Li Yueran nodded slightly.

"But don't worry, sister. You and the prince should take care of yourselves."

Chu Musheng took Xu Keke in his arms, gestured to the Duke and his wife again, and then took Xu Keke into the carriage.

Dingdang and Anxiang carried the young master into the carriage at the back.

Before getting on the car, the Duke's wife smiled and stuffed a big purse into the young master's hand.

The car started, and Dingdang and Anxiang opened their purses curiously to look.

"Wow, it's a purse full of little goldfish."

Dingdang said softly.

Anxiang picked up a small goldfish and looked at it.

"It's really unique. The Duke's wife really loves the young master."

After saying this, Anxiang put the little goldfish back into her purse.

Dingdang tied the purse with a smile.

"We must keep it for the master. This is a kind gift from the Duke's wife."

The young master watched with blinking eyes, babbling something.

Anxiang teased the young master.

"My dear young master, when you grow up, I will string these little goldfish together into a bracelet for you to wear on your wrist, okay?"

The young master was babbling, but no one knew what he was saying.

Dingdang looked out the car window.

"I wonder what the prince and princess are talking about in the carriage ahead."

Anxiang hugged the young master and rocked him.

"I guess they are talking about the happy event at the Duke's Mansion today."

The two chatted while looking after the young master.

Dingdang asked.

"Anxiang, have you told the young lady about your plan to buy a house?"

"I told the young lady these past two days, and she also knows that I want to provide for my master in his old age.

I'm not just talking, I have to take real action, the lady even praised me!"

Dingdang thought of Aunt Ding, who was her biological mother.

She is living a good life with the Second Madam now, but as a child, how can they ignore their own mother?

Dingdang secretly made up her mind that she would also provide for Nanny Ding in her old age.

Well, I have to talk to the lady about this idea.

In the carriage in front, Xu Ke was lying in Chu Musheng's arms with his eyes closed to rest.

"Your Highness, look at how happy the Duke's Mansion is today. It's truly a great thing to have someone to succeed you."

Chu Musheng nodded and sniffed Xu Keke's fragrance.

"Yes, I hope this child can be safe and sound and continue the Duke's Mansion's legacy."

Xu Ke can say again.

"Today at the Duke's Mansion, I heard many words of gratitude from the Duke's wife to you, Your Highness."

Chu Musheng hugged Xu Keke tightly.

"I just did what I had to do. The Duke's family has been loyal and righteous for generations and deserves respect."

The carriage swayed slightly, and Xu Ke fell asleep comfortably in Chu Musheng's arms.

Chu Musheng woke her up only when they were outside the Prince Sheng's Mansion.

Chu Musheng had just dozed off for a while in the carriage. The smell of alcohol had dissipated a lot by then, and his handsome face was still slightly red.

He gave an order to Dingdang and Anxiang.

"You two take the young master to take a nap."

After saying that, he took Xu Ke and walked towards the bedroom.

Xu Keke wanted to sleep a little longer, so she obediently followed him back to the bedroom.

Chu Musheng gently took off the golden hairpin from Xu Ke's head.

"My beloved concubine is not able to rest wearing these headdresses."

As he spoke, he gently helped Xu Keke take off her gorgeous dress.

Xu Ke could feel his breath gradually approaching.

When she realized that she would soon be left with only her bellyband.

She involuntarily dodged to the inside of the bed.

"My Lord, what are you going to do?"

Xu Keke's voice trembled slightly, and she looked at the prince warily.

Chu Musheng smiled slightly and began to untie his belt.

"My beloved, please give me another little princess!"

After hearing this, Xu Ke's face flushed and she pulled the thin blanket to cover her body.

"Your Highness, I have heard that having sex too frequently is not conducive to conception."

Chu Musheng threw his robe aside, smiled lightly, and pulled the quilt open.

"Then I won't give birth. I don't want you to be pregnant, my beloved concubine. It will be inconvenient for me to act."

Xu Ke had no choice but to retreat and silently accept the prince's favor.

Everything else is easy to deal with, except this matter.

The prince never wronged himself.

Although Xu Keke felt a little helpless, she also enjoyed it.

Besides, this is a pleasant thing.

......

When the prince is in the palace, Dingdang and Anxiang don't have to serve the princess.

In fact, they are now with the young master most of the time.

The young master is already taking a nap at this time.

Taking advantage of this free time, Anxiang decided to go out and see if there was a suitable house nearby.

After she said goodbye to Dingdang and Nanny Wang, she walked out of the backyard.

When I arrived at the front yard, I saw Sheng Er and Sheng Wu under the shade of a tree, whispering something.

Anxiang's desire to find out the news came back, and she went over to ask curiously.

"What are you two talking about here?"

Sheng Er and Sheng Wu stopped talking when she approached.

After all, Sheng Wu has been with the prince for many years and is rather aloof.

He ignored Anxiang's question and walked away.

Anxiang rolled her eyes.

"Look how cocky he is, Sheng Er, are you free right now?"

Sheng Er straightened his back.

"Miss Anxiang, what can I do for you? I'm free."

"Come on, come on, accompany me to see the house."

Anxiang pulled Sheng Er's sleeve and walked out of the mansion.

Sheng Er blushed a little. He really wanted to hold Anxiang's hand like the prince held the princess' hand.

But he didn't dare, because Anxiang was very skilled in martial arts and he was not sure he could defeat her.

I was afraid that Anxiang would be upset and give me a shoulder throw or something like that.

Anxiang didn't think so much. She pulled Sheng Er out to find out some information so that she could collect intelligence for the princess.

Both of them were skilled in martial arts, and they did not ride in carriages or on horses, but walked briskly on the street.

"Sheng Er, what were you talking about with Sheng Wu just now?"

Sheng Er's eyes were attracted by the street stalls, which were covered with colorful velvet flowers.

He paused.

"Miss Anxiang, look at these velvet flowers. Aren't they beautiful? Which one do you like?"

Anxiang slapped him on the arm with contempt in her tone.

"Sheng Er, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're a grown man, why do you like women's things? Can you learn from Sheng Wu?"

Sheng Er......
