It is impossible to sleep separately. Even if the house in the East Palace collapses, they will be crushed under one tile.

"Xiao Yifei, please don't make such suggestions in the future."

Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "You already have the answer to your question in your mind, so don't ask me. I said this to highlight your own answer. It can be said that I have put in a lot of effort."

Han Desheng rode his horse beside the prince, listening to the two gentlemen talking. He held back a yawn and thought to himself, "They are so energetic. Don't they feel tired?"

"Did you just give a purse to the two servants at the Gu family's doorman?" Xiao Jingheng asked.

"Yes, let them be more smart in the future, such as when you welcome your bride, or any time you want to enter the mansion." Xiao Yifei raised his chin calmly.

"You're thinking long-term." Xiao Jingheng shook his head and smiled.

"That's right. Before the wedding, you have no reason to enter the Gu Mansion. If you want to go in, you can only climb over the wall." Xiao Yifei said, raising his hand to measure the high wall.

"What are you talking about? How could I be that kind of scoundrel?" Xiao Jingheng corrected him seriously.

Xiao Yifei just smiled and didn't take it seriously. At the beginning of the year, someone said that he would never do such a thing as a king taking his minister's wife.

When Han Desheng heard this, he also became energetic and covered his mouth to pretend to yawn. At the beginning of the year, when he proposed to let the guards of the East Palace look after the Gu family, the prince also said that he was not a person who used public power for personal gain...

Of course, he still believed what the Crown Prince said: he would not go into the Crown Princess's boudoir.

After breakfast at the enclosure outside the capital, Prince Jin no longer saw the Crown Prince. When he arrived at the emperor's tent, Sun Guang was serving him tea.

"Your son pays his respects to the emperor," said the Prince of Jin, bowing.

"Get up. You were exhausted yesterday. Didn't I say you didn't need to come and pay your respects this morning?" The emperor put down his teacup and looked at Prince Jin. "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you very much, father. I haven't seen you for a long time. Of course I want to be closer to you. Even here is not as good as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I think he has already come to pay his respects." Prince Jin sat down and said with a smile, his face full of guilt that his filial piety to his father was not as good as his brothers.

The emperor looked up at him and smiled faintly, "Today, you are more active than the prince. He didn't even come."

"Is that so?" King Jin asked in surprise.

"He went to his future father-in-law to actively perform his duties." When the emperor said this, he laughed a few times, and there was no sign of dissatisfaction with the prince.

"I think the Crown Prince is very satisfied with the Gu family." said Prince Jin.

"Your concubine is also from the Gu family." The emperor said. Prince Jin moved his body. He was careless. When he asked his father to take the girl from the Gu family as a concubine, he praised the Gu family a lot.

"I am also very satisfied."

The emperor hummed softly, "Elders are not just on your side. They are also your wife's elders, and they are also your elders. Treating them well is the right thing to do."

"Yes, I have learned your lesson."

"Go back and rest for a while. You brought your women with you. It would be nice to show them the autumn scenery here."

"Yes."

Prince Jin returned to his tent, where his personal eunuch Niu Cheng stood by.

"The Crown Prince personally went to propose to the future Crown Princess?" Prince Jin sneered.

"Yes, I just heard that last night, the Crown Prince took Master Xiao to the lake to catch a pair of wild geese. They returned to the city and went to the Gu family before dawn this morning." Niu Cheng replied with his head down.

Prince Jin snorted coldly, "This little brother of the Crown Prince is really something. He didn't even need me to search for him, he just revealed his weakness first."

"Your Highness is right. This was obtained without any effort." Niu Cheng said flatteringly from the side.

"Call Concubine Gu over." Prince Jin waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes."

When Niu Cheng arrived in front of Concubine Gu's tent, he shouted a few times inside. A maid came out and said that the concubine had gone to the princess to play chess with her.

The princess of Prince Jin was surnamed Sun. Her father was Marquis Wu'an and she came from a family of military generals.

At this moment, Gu Ruoxing was sitting on a chair with a large area of ​​the chair empty, holding the white piece in her hand, playing chess with Princess Jin.

"Just sit still. Don't be so petty, as if I've bullied you." Princess Jin sighed impatiently.

"Your Highness is kind to others. This is just the rule that I should follow. It is my fault for causing Your Highness trouble." Gu Ruoxing said quickly with a smile.

This Princess Jin has a very bad temper...

"Sister Concubine, is the third young lady of your Gu family an easy person to get along with?" Princess Jin put down a chess piece and asked casually.

Gu Ruoxing really hated talking about Gu Qinghe, but the princess only needed help at this moment, so she had no choice but to say it.

"Third sister, she grew up in Dengzhou. I'm not very familiar with her. In my opinion, she's not easy to get along with." Gu Ruoxing said as if telling the truth.

"Hearing what the concubine said, the Crown Princess should be someone who is easy to get along with." Princess Jin said with a faint smile.

After spending some time together, Princess Jin has finally figured out Gu Ruoxing. She says nice things to him, but she can't stand anyone except herself.

So, if she says it’s difficult to get along with someone, then it means it’s easy to get along with someone.

Gu Ruoxing was caught off guard by Princess Jin's words. She didn't expect the princess to speak like this in front of so many servants without caring about her face at all.

Before Gu Ruoxing could figure out how to play it safe, a shrill voice came from outside, "The servant Niu Cheng pays his respects to the princess."

"No need to be polite. Tell me, what does the prince want you to come here for?"

"The prince has something to do right now, please let the concubine go over and talk to him." Niu Cheng bowed his body with a very humble attitude.

"Since the prince has invited you, I won't keep you any longer. Concubine Gu, please go quickly and don't keep the prince waiting for too long." Princess Jin waved her hand lightly.

"I'll take my leave." Gu Ruoxing stood up and bowed seriously.

"I'll take my leave." Niu Cheng looked at the princess who was so calm and couldn't help but wonder, is the princess's indifferent attitude really because she is open-minded, or does she not care about the prince's women?

Xiao Jingheng and Xiao Yi were galloping on the official road outside the capital, their whips constantly hitting the horses.

The horse under Han Desheng was already running out of energy. He secretly thought that he would have to ask the prince to replace him with a better horse, otherwise he really couldn't keep up with the prince's pace.

As for the present, he thought, it would be great if someone could call the prince.

Perhaps it was because God couldn't bear to see this poor eunuch working so hard, someone actually called out "Your Highness the Crown Prince——" from behind.

Xiao Jingheng reined in his horse and turned around to see that it was Zhang Wen who had caught up with him.
