Gu Qinghe took two steps back in the direction of Liu Yinshuang. "To answer your Highness, it's not a coincidence that we agreed to meet here."

Liu Yinshuang also followed Gu Qinghe and bowed slightly, "Greetings."

Xiao Jingheng chuckled twice, "I was just saying that it's a coincidence that I meet Miss Qinghe."

Gu Qinghe kept smiling and said, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince is absolutely right." Yes, yes, you have a high status and you have the final say.

Xiao Jingheng looked at Gu Qinghe in front of him, and felt more and more that the third girl in front of him was the one who had been his queen.

Tsk, you’re quite sharp-tongued.

"Qinghe, let's not delve into coincidences. Meeting each other is fate. Some people try every possible means to get together, but it still doesn't work out." Princess Yunhua said with a smile.

"Okay." Gu Qinghe nodded and turned to look at the jewelry.

"As your cousin, the prince, shouldn't you be learning how to handle state affairs from the emperor?" Liu Yinshuang tugged at Princess Yunhua's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know either. I recently heard from my grandfather that the emperor often praises my cousin, saying that his vision and skills in handling state affairs have improved a lot compared to before, as if he had really done it." There was a hint of pride in Yunhua's tone.

Gu Qinghe snorted softly. It was natural for him to do this. After all, he had been the emperor for several years.

Jamel Xiao is like the top student who knows the test questions. If he does them again, won’t he be able to do them with ease?

Gu Qinghe's actions naturally fell into Xiao Jingheng's eyes. He had been observing Gu Qinghe since he entered the door, trying to find some details to support his guess.

Looking at the third young lady who was extremely well-behaved in front of outsiders and had a slightly disdainful attitude towards him, he was sure that this was the queen who would not take the initiative to talk to him even if he sat in Fengyi Palace for two hours.

He was sure that in this life, apart from speaking a few words to Gu Qinghe, he had never offended her.

"Well, it's not appropriate for you to call him His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside. Why don't you change the name?" Princess Yunhua suggested.

Gu Qinghe did not refute. The children of the royal family would often change their identities when they walked among the people.

Besides, it would be better to be cautious if so many people wanted to kill the dog prince. She didn't want to marry him again, but she didn't want him to die either. After all, he was not a good husband, nor could he be the father of her child, but he was a good emperor who worked hard to govern the country.

I wonder how much he earned in the end after working so hard without sleep and food.

Xiao Jingheng looked at Gu Qinghe, who seemed to be recalling something. Her expression was a little sad, and her brows were slightly furrowed. He rubbed her face a few times with his fingers, trying to soothe her pain.

"You have a point. As the saying goes, less trouble is worse than more. So, what do you think we should call him?" Liu Yinshuang also agreed. When asking the question, she glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"My cousin's courtesy name is Shao Ci, so why don't you just call him Brother Shao Ci." Princess Yunhua made the decision with a smile, and then looked at Xiao Jingheng with a smug look in her eyes, which meant, see, you are thin-skinned, so your sister is going to let you go, remember to pay more.

Xiao Jingheng raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, put it to his mouth, and coughed lightly a few times.

"Okay, then we'll be sorry, Brother Shaoci." Liu Yinshuang shouted without any psychological barriers, and then continued to look at jewelry.

Only Gu Qinghe seemed to be on edge. If she didn't shout, it would seem that she was dissatisfied with Princess Yunhua's proposal. If she shouted, she really couldn't say it out loud. She was not as straightforward as the Dog Prince.

"Qinghe, do you have a better idea?" Princess Yunhua looked at her with a smile.

"No, just call it once to familiarize yourself with it so you don't forget it later."

"Brother Shaoci, I'm sorry for the offense." Gu Qinghe called out politely, his pronunciation was stereotyped.

However, often the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. Xiao Jingheng was about to rescue Gu Qinghe, but he didn't expect her to call out softly.

Although there was no emotional color in it, Xiao Jingheng felt half of his body numb when he heard it, even the top of his head was numb.

This was the first time in two lifetimes that he heard Gu Qinghe call him like this, and the feeling was really different.

After completing the task, Gu Qinghe went to find Liu Yinshuang, leaving only the two royal cousins.

Princess Yunhua looked at her cousin and knew that the trick of loving brother and loving sister was effective, but she had the roles reversed...

"Cousin, how is it? Does it sound good?" Yunhua looked at his cousin the prince with amusement, and waited quietly for him to finish savoring it before asking this question.

"It sounds nice." Xiao Jingheng nodded subconsciously. Looking at Yunhua's expression, he cleared his throat again, "Aren't you here to buy jewelry?"

"Of course it sounds nice. It's much nicer to hear your sweetheart calling you 'Brother Shaoci' than the boring 'Crown Prince'." Princess Yunhua said in a low voice and hurried to find her companions.

She had long looked down upon Ruan Liuzheng, who was nothing more than a dodder trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. She still remembered that when Ruan Liuzheng first got engaged, she was completely satisfied with her fiancé.

Less than a year had passed since the news disappeared, and Ruan Liuzheng once again used the excuse of accompanying Concubine Li to hang around in front of the prince. Fortunately, the prince was a principled man and was unwilling to take his wife away.

Xiao Jingheng stood there, thinking about what Yunhua had just said, and then recalling how he felt when he heard Ruan Liuzheng calling the prince his cousin. At that time, he felt calm and indifferent, because he was just his cousin.

However, when Gu Qinghe called him just now, although he was reluctant, his heartbeat had already become disordered. Seeing that she didn't want to call out, he even wanted to rescue her. This feeling was the result of strong expectations, and he could still compromise for it.

"Qinghe, take a look. You didn't like the hairpin I sent you two days ago. Take a look now." Yunhua said, holding Gu Qinghe's arm.

"Thank you, Princess. I won't be picky about the items." Gu Qinghe shook the pearl necklace in her hand. "I've already chosen."

"Well, this is really a case of missing this opportunity. Cousin, you'll pay." Yunhua said with a sigh.

When Gu Qinghe heard that the Dog Prince was going to pay, his eyes lit up again. Since the Dog Prince was really indebted to the Emperor, it wouldn't be too much to ask for some compensation.

She walked aside again and asked the proprietress to bring her a gold lock. "Pack this one too."

Liu Yinshuang followed suit, "I want a gold locket, the one next to it, as a gift for my sister-in-law's unborn child."

Yunhua glanced at Liu Yinshuang. This guy really knows how to take advantage of every opportunity.
