The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

Gong Yu's words might have been meant for the great general of the Southern Kingdom to hear.

Su Rou crossed her arms, her eyes fixed on Gong Yu's father and mother, her attention completely not on Gong Yu.

The Southern Emperor said, "Good boy, get up. You must have had a hard journey home. I've troubled you to take care of me along the way."

Until the soldier beside Su Rou poked her body and reminded her in a low voice, "Girl, girl!"

After calling Su Rou twice, she came back to her senses.

"Ah? Your Majesty, are you calling me?"

The Southern Emperor said, "I wonder what your name is, sir."

Su Rou curled her lips and said, "My surname is Dai, I don't know what's good for me. If the emperor tells me to, just call me by my surname."

"This woman is truly arrogant and domineering. So what if she's from the Northern Kingdom? She's clearly being disrespectful in front of our Southern Kingdom's Emperor!"

"Hush, don't offend the people of the North Country."

When Su Rou heard that some of them were very dissatisfied with her attitude, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: It's not that she wanted to do this! She was really distracted just now!

The Southern Emperor said, "My lords, you have come from afar. Please take your seats."

Su Rou took a look at the food on the banquet and smacked her lips. The Southern Kingdom's treasury was so poor that they only had a portion of bacon, a bowl of vegetables and a bowl of rice.

Forget it, she was really a little hungry.

The others were eating so elegantly and gracefully, but Su Rou's eating manners were much worse, and everyone looked at her strangely.

Gong Yu sat next to her, looked at Su Rou, and gave her the bacon on his table.

He lowered his voice and teased her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "No wonder you wear a mask. It turns out you're afraid of bringing shame to the South."

Su Rou put down the rice and said, "It's your shame too. I wear a mask because I'm worried that people from the south will be tempted by my beauty! If you have the guts, just speak louder. Why are you whispering to me?"

Joking aside, Su Rou wears a mask because she is worried that her face will be seen by people from the South.

She didn't know how much her face resembled her father's, but it definitely looked a lot like her third brother. After all, Yuan Wen had mistakenly thought they looked like a couple.

Who is her third brother?

She could bet that the people of the South had never seen her, but she couldn't bet that the people of the South had never seen her, General Su, who was guarding the border between the North and the South.

After eating, Su Rou and the soldiers were taken to the palace courtyard.

Su Rou looked around and felt that the environment was good enough for the soldiers to hide their abilities for a while.

The attendant pointed to a separate courtyard and said to Su Rou, "Miss, this courtyard was temporarily cleaned out by someone. You can live here."

Su Rou waved her hand, "No need. Where is Prince Yu staying these days? I can just live with him."

The attendant's face was filled with shock, "Huh?"

Su Rou turned around and planned to go back to find Gong Yu, "I'm used to living with your Prince Yu, and I don't feel comfortable living alone."

The attendant quickly followed her steps, "Miss... Miss... His Royal Highness Prince Yu must be very busy these days preparing for the eldest prince's death anniversary. Miss, otherwise you should..."

Su Rou took two steps and saw Gong Yu in front of her. There seemed to be someone else next to him.

She quickened her pace and ran towards Gong Yu, then threw herself into his arms.

Gong Yu caught her steadily.

"I'm scared to sleep alone, so I'll live with you."

Gong Yu said, "Sleep with me?"

Su Rou looked up, "Is it not possible?"

Gong Yu said, "Okay, you said you were scared alone."

Su Rou grabbed his sleeve, as if she was afraid that Gong Yu would run away the next second.

She turned to look at the attendant, "Where will he sleep? Give us some extra quilts."

"Are all the little girls from the Northern Kingdom so arrogant? They insist on sleeping with you." Only then did Su Rou notice the Southern Kingdom general beside Gong Yu...

Su Rou subconsciously let go of Gong Yu's sleeve. Wait, was she teasing someone else's son in front of his father?

Gong Yu introduced Su Rou, "This is the general guarding the country, Gong Yuanzhi."

Su Rou bowed politely, "General Gong."

Gong Yuanzhi looked at Su Rou and replied, "Bad girl."

Although she chose this surname herself, it really feels awkward to hear others call her that.

Su Rou asked, "Has General Gong sent your wife back? I noticed during dinner just now that your wife didn't seem well."

Gong Yuanzhi said, "My wife has not been in good health, but today, because His Royal Highness Prince Yu... Prince Yu has returned, I wanted to bring my wife to the palace for a change of heart."

Su Rou patted Gong Yu's arm and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Yu is indeed attractive. I feel much better after looking at him for a long time. General Gong, why don't you try to ask Prince Yu to come to your house and talk with Madam these days? Maybe Madam's condition will get better."

Su Rou knew that Gong Yuanzhi wanted to call Gong Yu by his nickname.

She should be able to understand such a hint, right?

Gong Yu definitely didn't return to the Southland for some so-called brother. He took the opportunity to call Gong Yu back to accompany his mother. She and her subordinates would definitely not say anything.

Gong Yu interrupted Su Rou, "I live in the bedroom. I'll ask someone to take you there first."

Su Rou nodded, "Okay, I understand. You also have something to say to General Gong."

Su Rou waved at him, and looking at her leaving back, Gong Yuanzhi's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Your mother's condition is getting worse. I didn't send you to the North Country to have a romance with a little maid. If you can't complete the task His Majesty has assigned you as soon as possible, our family will become His Majesty's abandoned children."

Gong Yu lowered his eyes, "I know."

Su Rou was lying on the bed, the silk beneath her body looked so precious. The place where Gong Yu lived was much better than that shabby little courtyard.

She felt that this bedroom should really belong to a prince, but in order to conceal Gong Yu's identity, she took it over temporarily.

If she didn't ask, the Southern Emperor would have no idea what Gong Yu was going to sleep with.

Several palace maids were waiting nearby. "Young lady, please be careful. This silk is very expensive. If you damage it, the emperor will punish you."

Su Rou took out two small yellow croakers from her pocket and threw them over. "I bought it. I'm going to sleep on it tonight. You can go out now."

She also has this stuff in the general's mansion, and there are quite a few of them. Her father used it to make dresses for her, but he thought the material was not soft enough!

The palace maids looked at each other and didn't want to offend her openly, so they took the small yellow croaker and left.

While Su Rou was half asleep and half awake, the door was pushed open.

Gong Yu came in from outside and said, "You are sleeping so comfortably, I feel a little embarrassed to disturb you."

Su Rou yawned, "Come quickly, come quickly, I bought the silk on the bed, you can lie on it, and I will take it back when we leave."

It was still early outside, and Su Rou hadn't slept well after traveling for several days.

Gong Yu took off his shoes and lay down beside her.

Su Rou rolled over and put her arms on him.

Ok?

Su Rou opened her eyes and looked at Gong Yu. She was so frightened that she lost all sleepiness.

"You...you really still want to sleep with me?!"
