Gu Qinghe smiled upon hearing this and turned to look at Yingchun, "Put the chessboard away."

Yingchun stepped forward and put away the chessboard. Wangchun also served tea in due time. As for Han Desheng, he was still immersed in what the prince had just said, and his teeth were still aching.

Now, the prince was really looking for an opportunity to start saying these words of confession, as if he had prepared them long ago.

After drinking two cups of tea, seeing that the prince's eyes began to become sticky, Han Desheng quickly said: "Your Highness, it's getting late, I'll go get some hot water."

Jamel Xiao nodded with satisfaction, “Go.”

The eunuchs brought hot water and quickly retreated outside. Yingchun and Wangchun served the Crown Princess and went into the bathroom.

When she came out, Xiao Jingheng was already waiting for her by the couch as usual, holding a storybook in his hand, and he didn't turn a page for a long time.

Xiao Jingheng heard the crisp sound of the bead curtains colliding, looked up, and thought to himself: This Crown Princess who just came out of the bath is even more beautiful than at other times.

He tugged at his pajamas, trying to cover up the inappropriate part. At this time, Gu Qinghe had already come and sat down beside him.

Gu Qinghe smiled faintly, "Your Highness, please make way."

"Ah——" Xiao Jingheng's voice was hoarse when he opened his mouth. He cleared his throat and said, "Okay, Crown Princess, please."

Gu Qinghe laughed out loud when he heard this, "Your Highness, you are so polite. Now we are treating each other with respect."

When Xiao Jingheng heard what the Crown Princess said, his ears turned red, and he hugged the Crown Princess directly, "Since the Crown Princess said so, then I won't be polite."

He doesn't want to be treated with respect, but rather to support each other.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jamel Xiao raised his left hand and pulled hard, and the bed curtain fell down.

The noise in the inner room was quite loud. Over the past few months, Xiao Jingheng had developed a habit of always paying attention to the Crown Princess's expression and reaction.

He could now tell whether he should use more force or hold back by the pressure of her fingers on his back.

Han Desheng and Yingchun were outside, and from time to time they could hear noises coming from the inner room.

"Yingchun, our prince wants to take the Crown Princess out for a walk in a few days. Please ask Wangchun to make preparations." Han Desheng talked about tomorrow's plan, trying to divert their attention.

"The weather is quite hot. Where is Your Highness the Crown Prince taking the Crown Princess?" Yingchun asked with a slight frown.

The Crown Princess is already very busy. In the hot summer weather, the long journey may not make the Crown Princess feel happy...

Han Desheng smiled complacently when he heard this, "Miss Yingchun, what you said is true. Our Crown Prince loves the Crown Princess so much that he will definitely not let her suffer."

"Don't worry." Han Desheng said, and waved his whisk in the night, looking very proud.

Yingchun nodded and said nothing more.

In the inner room, Xiao Jingheng looked at the flushed Crown Princess and understood what was going on. He hugged her and slowly calmed down.

"Qinghe, I'm thinking of taking you out for a walk in a few days. Do you want to go?" Xiao Jingheng said, "We can also go to Gu's house for a visit."

Gu Qinghe was breathing heavily as she listened to Xiao Jingheng speak. She had originally wanted to refuse the first half of the conversation, as she would rather spend her time reading storybooks or sword manuals.

However, when she heard that she could visit the Gu Mansion, she was tempted. Although she would ask Wangchun to go back and take a look every ten days or so, hearing about it from others was always not as good as seeing it with her own eyes.

"Okay, Your Highness has arranged that as long as I'm free here, I'll go out for a walk with you." Gu Qinghe said, his voice a little hoarse.

Xiao Jingheng listened, quickly turned sideways, and brought her a glass of water, "Drink a few sips to moisten your throat."

Gu Qinghe took the cup and took two sips. Xiao Jingheng took it back and drank the water in the cup in one gulp.

Xiao Jingheng put the cup back, and as usual, he stretched out his long arm and let the Crown Princess rest her head on his arm, and they soon fell asleep.

Prince Jin's Mansion, Qingfeng Pavilion

Gu Ruoxing was angry for no other reason than that Gu Qinghe had rejected her visiting card during the day.

Not only did he reject her, he also sent her a message with great dignity, "Concubine Gu is in the Jin Palace. Serving the Jin Prince and the Jin Princess well, do not go out unless necessary, and do not come to the Eastern Palace. If there is any problem, the Eastern Palace will send someone to negotiate with the Jin Princess."

"Xing'er, you were constantly praising the Third Young Lady in my ear earlier. Now listen, these are the words spoken by the affectionate and righteous Third Young Lady. It's really chilling." Gu Ruoxing said indignantly, "She must have forgotten everything Grandma said."

"Concubine, you can't say such things." Xing'er said nervously.

"Everyone in the Gu Mansion is selfish and only thinks about themselves." Gu Ruoxing said, "Now that Gu Qinghe has taken the throne of the Crown Princess, she can torture my mother."

"Concubine, the Third Master also said that Madam is unwell and has gone to a quiet place to recuperate."

"Shut up too! I'm starting to suspect you've taken money from Gu Qinghe or the Second House." Gu Ruoxing said with eyes wide open. "If someone didn't know, they'd think you were Gu Qinghe's servant."

Xing'er was stunned when she heard this, then shook her head like a rattle, "Concubine, I dare not. Please understand that you cannot address the Crown Princess by her full name."

Gu Ruoxing waved her hand. "If the Crown Princess can't give birth to a child, will the Emperor and the Empress Dowager just let it go?"

Xing'er looked at Gu Ruoxing's thoughtful expression, and her heart skipped a beat. What did this mean?

Are you thinking of something bad just because you can get pregnant?

"Concubine, this is not something we can take care of. Just take care of yourself and get pregnant with the prince's child. Then you will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."

"You're still talking too much!"

Xing'er fell silent and thought to herself: This is how the master-servant relationship of the past ten years has ended. She has done her best.

I should find an opportunity to meet Yingchun or Wangchun later.

Prince Jin's concubine Gu Ruoxing cannot be left alone, and Prince Jin is also a little worried.

The informant reported that the Crown Prince had already sent people to investigate his connections in the capital, as well as the incident of General Chiang and his son being trapped on the battlefield last year.

"It's been almost a year, and you're just now reporting to me. What's the point? Are you expecting me to make up for it?" King Jin asked coldly.

"Your Highness, it was truly the Crown Prince's men who did this covertly." The young general standing in the hall rubbed his hands nervously and said, "Furthermore, General Liu actually sided with the Crown Prince."

When the King of Jin heard this, no matter how well-mannered he was, he could not help but grabbed the teacup next to him and threw it to the ground.

"A bunch of trash! Get out!"

When the young subordinate heard "Get out", he felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly retreated.
