No matter how calm and composed Meng Yunshang was, she was still confused by Lu Chenxiao's unconventional behavior.

Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, Meng Yunshang reminded again, "My Lord, the hot water is ready, you should take a bath."

Lu Chenxiao hummed lightly, but did not move his body, still staring at Meng Yunshang blankly.

Meng Yunshang had no choice but to patiently suggest, "If your Highness has anything to say, why don't you come out and say it later?"

Lu Chenxiao finally nodded, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll be out soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tall figure quickly flashed into the bathroom, leaving a large puddle of water on the floor.

Meng Yunshang called Danqiu and Dangui to clean up.

After the floor was clean again, Danqiu asked Meng Yunshang carefully, "Princess, do you want to move the prince to the next room?"

"Ok?"

"Didn't the prince just say that he would rest here tonight? Then the prince..."

Meng Yunshang understood Danqiu's meaning in an instant. Her expression was unnatural for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

She told Danqiu, "You stay here to guard the prince. After the prince has finished bathing, ask him to come to the flower hall to find me."

Doesn't he have something to say?

The flower hall is the best place to talk.

"But it's so late..."

Danqiu felt helpless.

Could it be that the hint I just gave was not clear enough, and the princess didn't understand what the prince meant by asking her to stay overnight?

For the sake of the harmonious relationship between the prince and princess, she wanted to speak more bluntly, but Meng Yunshang had already walked towards the flower hall.

When Lu Chenxiao came out of the inner room after bathing and changing clothes, only Danqiu who stayed behind and Huai'an who was sleeping soundly were left. He asked with a gloomy face, "Where is the princess?"

Danqiu knelt down and replied, "In reply to the prince, the princess is waiting for you in the flower hall."

Lu Chenxiao was so angry that he laughed.

Does she dislike him so much?

As a couple, you have to go to the flower hall outside to avoid suspicion when you are in the same room?

His good mood disappeared without a trace, and Lu Chenxiao went to the flower hall with a gloomy face.

Meng Yunshang turned around when she heard the noise.

I suddenly saw that his face was full of stormy weather.

I couldn't help but frown. What's wrong with this guy?

Weren't you fine just now?

Before she could say hello, she heard Lu Chenxiao sneer coldly, "The princess really knows how to distinguish between public and private matters."

Meng Yunshang frowned, "Your Majesty, you can just say what you want to say. Being sarcastic like this won't solve the problem."

Lu Chenxiao: “!”

Is he being sarcastic?

Ha, is he just trying to be sarcastic?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Meng Yunshang took the initiative to speak, "Anranju has a small courtyard and few rooms. If the prince has nothing else to do, go back to Qingfengyuan to rest early."

Lu Chenxiao clenched his hands into fists, and a flash of hurt flashed across his eyes.

He asked Meng Yunshang in a low and suppressed voice, "Are you chasing me away?"

Meng Yunshang denied in a low voice, "I dare not."

Seeing that he was still not getting to the point, Meng Yunshang didn't want to cooperate anymore and said distantly, "Your Highness is busy with government affairs, so I won't delay you."

Lu Chenxiao was so angry that he blurted out, "The emperor intends to give me a concubine..."

Meng Yunshang paused as she was about to leave, and Cheng's words from that morning echoed in her ears.

She didn't care whether Lu Chenxiao had other women, but she cared whether Huai'an could live a good life.

Before she could figure out how to get along with Lu Chenxiao, she heard the news that he was going to marry someone else. It was inevitable that she felt uneasy.

But it was just unrest, not jealousy or resentment.

What my mother said is right. With Lu Chenxiao's status in the court, he can marry as many women as he wants.

Although she had the right to be angry, she had someone she loved after all, so she had no right to ask Lu Chenxiao to be loyal.

At this time, Lu Chenxiao's bland voice came from behind.

He said, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Meng Yunshang turned around, and after meeting Lu Chenxiao's eyes, she asked in a gentle voice, "What does Your Majesty want me to say?"

"You can say whatever you want."

As long as she asked him not to marry her, he would happily agree.

But Meng Yunshang said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. As the principal consort, I will definitely arrange the marriage for Your Majesty."

There was frost in Lu Chenxiao's eyes.

After all, it was just his wishful thinking.

She doesn't care about him at all.

In the past five years, no matter how hard he tried, she never had eyes for him.

Now, even such a big event as his marrying a concubine can be faced calmly.

Then when she knew that Song Jinyan was returning to Beijing, she would definitely be eager to leave the palace.

When he thought of the possible intimate behavior between her and Song Jinyan, he felt cold all over and wanted to destroy everyone.

The cold gaze falling on him made people shudder.

Meng Yunshang didn't want to stay any longer, so she said goodbye calmly, "It's getting late, I'll go back to my room to accompany Huai'an."

But no matter how hard she tried, she never expected that Lu Chenxiao would go back to the room with her, and lie on the outside of the bed with his clothes on, looking very familiar.

"Your Highness!" Meng Yunshang condemned silently, looking at him as if he were a scoundrel.

Lu Chenxiao said casually, "Lu Youlin once asked me why other people's parents can be so loving and harmonious, but our family is so cold and lonely every day."

Meng Yunshang was slightly surprised.

He added, "This question I cannot answer for him."

"The princess is a smart person. In the future, will Lu Youlin enjoy double the love from his parents like other children, or will he continue to be unloved by his father and mother? The choice is in the princess' hands."

After thinking for a while, Meng Yunshang asked him slowly, "If I choose the former, will the prince cooperate?"

Lu Chenxiao put one hand behind his head and the other on his abdomen, looking at him with deep eyes, "That depends on what the princess is willing to do in exchange."

Meng Yunshang was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I've thought about it, and I think I'll have to disappoint Your Majesty. Huai'an doesn't really need Your Majesty as his father."

"Besides, the prince is going to marry a new bride soon, so I guess he won't have much time to play the role of a harmonious couple with me."

"Meng Yunshang!"

Lu Chenxiao's face darkened again. How could she go back on her word?

"Your Highness, please hurry back to Qingfeng Courtyard. If Huai'an really wants loving parents, I will find him a more suitable father."

"You dare!" Lu Chenxiao could no longer sit still.

He turned over and got out of bed, strode to Meng Yunshang, carried her sideways onto the bed, and placed her between himself and Huai'an.

Meng Yunshang was so frightened that her voice was a little out of tune as she shouted, "Lu Chenxiao, what are you going to do!"

Lu Chenxiao said in a hoarse voice, "Go to sleep!"

A pair of iron arms naturally wrapped around Meng Yunshang's slender waist, holding her in his arms.

Meng Yunshang wanted to break free, but she heard his vicious snort, "Do you want to wake Lu Youlin up and let him see with his own eyes how I favor you?"

Meng Yunshang's face flushed with shock at his shameless words. She gritted her teeth and angrily shouted, "Lu Chenxiao, you are shameless!"

"So what if you're shameless? I don't mind being even more shameless in the future."

"You!" Meng Yunshang was so angry that she lost control and raised her hand to slap him, but he grabbed her wrist and pinned it above her head.

The man turned over and pressed her down, his eyes as deep as the sea.

"I have indulged you too much in the past, causing you to forget your duties and responsibilities as a wife. From this moment on, you must remember that I am your man."

"If you dare to ignore me like before, don't even think about seeing Lu Youlin again!"

"Lu Chenxiao!"

Meng Yunshang's face turned cold instantly, and she was very unhappy with his behavior of using his son as a bargaining chip.

But Lu Chenxiao was determined to seek benefits for himself, so he reiterated without giving in, "I will keep my word!"

When the atmosphere was tense, a soft and cute voice sounded, "Father, why are you in my and mother's bed?"
