The emperor became suspicious of her.

It seems that my previous reckless behavior is deeply ingrained.

Wen Xingchen explained, "Uncle, how could you take those childish words so seriously? I told you last time that I'm grown up now and I like people like Jingting. He even gave me something yesterday? He carved it himself. Take a look, isn't it beautiful?"

Dzi beads? They're polished to look exactly the same. That's some impressive craftsmanship.

"He does have a heart."

"Yes, no one has ever taken so much trouble to please me."

Wen Xingchen's words sounded a bit sad, and the emperor naturally heard it.

"You're trying to curry favor with someone just by giving them something? I've given you a lot of rewards."

"So I like my uncle too, but my uncle is my uncle, and I can't marry him."

"What nonsense are you talking about, girl? Go back, I'm busy." She is still a naive little girl.

"Yes, Xingchen will leave now and will not disturb the emperor uncle from handling state affairs."

Wen Xingchen left the Imperial Study and looked back at the solemn and dignified three words "Imperial Study". His eyes were deep, and then he smiled and returned to his playful and cute look.

Xiao Sheng, ah Xiao Sheng, in this life, I wonder how you can reach this position.

Wen Xingchen left the imperial study and did not return to the palace. Instead, he inquired about when Chen Jingting would return and waited for him on the palace road.

Wen Xingchen found a pavilion and waited for a while, but no one came. She was bored and fanned herself with the round fan in her hand.

The fan was embroidered with a chubby little rabbit, nestled in the grass and eating grass. It looked so adorable and lifelike.

This embroidery was done by Yingying, and the craftsmanship is excellent.

Because Yingying can embroider, she never thought about learning embroidery since she was a child. Now when she needs to use it, she regrets her own shallowness.

Will he wear that embroidery?

She was thinking of waiting for half a minute, but since the person didn't come back, she went back first.

It’s so hot, I can’t stand it.

But she saw Wen Ruyue from a distance.

She was led by a maid and didn't think anything of it at first, but after a while, she saw them again.

What are you doing? Spinning around in circles.

Wen Xingchen walked over and blocked their way.

The nanny was from the Imperial Concubine's palace, her name was Qu Lian'er.

Zhang Yu was beaten and is now lying in bed unable to get up. Qu Lian'er is also scared when she looks at Wen Xingchen.

"Your servant Qu Lian'er greets the princess."

Wen Xingchen said casually: Get up.

"Yes, thank you, Princess."

Wen Xingchen looked at Wen Ruyue, her face flushed with fatigue, tiny beads of sweat oozing from her slightly protruding forehead. Her clothes were also soaked with sweat.

He looked extremely embarrassed.

When Wen Ruyue saw her looking at her, she bit her thin lips and lowered her head to hide her embarrassment.

Wen Xingchen didn't want to help her, she simply couldn't stand the imperial concubine.

"Where are you going?"

"In reply to the princess, this servant will take Miss Wen to Yukun Palace to see the Imperial Concubine."

"Yukun Palace, Madam Qu, don't you know the way?"

"No, I know the way."

"You recognized it? Then you walked back and forth so many times, was it on purpose?"

"No, no, no, this slave didn't mean it."

"Don't be nervous. Even if you did it on purpose, I won't complain."

Complain?

Qu Lian'er's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat. The weather was already hot, and she was standing under the scorching sun.

Just when she thought the princess would punish her, she heard the princess say in a friendly manner:

"Go."

After that, Qu Lian'er never dared to take her for a stroll again.

Not long after they left, Chen Jingting came back.

Wen Xingchen called out, "Brother Jingting."

The people who were walking on the palace road saw Wen Xingchen, said a few words to the people around him, and then walked towards Wen Xingchen.

Wen Xingchen stood under the pavilion, her figure graceful and charming. A round fan covered half of her beautiful face, half covered and half shy, like a delicate and beautiful lotus flower.

The hem of the clothes sways gently in the breeze, which makes people intoxicated.

Wen Xingchen saw him from a distance, and didn't see that he was wearing her purse, so she curled her lips slightly.

When everyone arrived, Wen Xingchen said, "You didn't wear the purse I gave you. Do you dislike it?"

Chen Jingting silently took out his purse from his arms.

Wen Xingchen, who was originally unhappy, immediately smiled and shook the Dzi beads on his wrist.

"I'm wearing it too."

Wen Xingchen came to the palace today just to see him.

"My princess, did you come to the palace today for something? Are you done with it?"

"I just missed you and wanted to see you."

"..."

"It's time for me to leave the palace. You go and get busy." Although she said so, she turned around, still reluctant to leave.

Seeing her looking back every few steps, Chen Jingting inexplicably felt that the wedding date was a bit long. She would definitely marry him.

Chen Jingting went back to report, and when he came out again, he met Yang Ling.

"Chen Silang, did you meet the princess?"

"Ah."

"The Emperor really dotes on the Princess. He summoned the Princess to appease her right after granting her the marriage to Prince Jin, fearing she would be angry."

"..." Liar, you just said you came to the palace to see him, but now it's obvious you are here to see the emperor.

"Brother, the Emperor dotes on the Princess so much. If one day the Princess asks for the position of Princess Jin, will the Emperor give it to her?"

Chen Jingting secretly warned Yang Ling.

Yang Ling coughed lightly and said, "It's not that I don't stand on your side. You just arrived and you don't know how willful these princesses and princesses are. Although you are engaged to a princess, as a brother, I still want to remind you not to take it too seriously."

"The princess won't."

"No? Then you must not know how much the princess loves His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. She once seduced His Royal Highness's political enemies for His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, using herself as bait to eliminate them for him..."

"Yang Ling, you don't have to explain. I understand what you mean. But I believe the princess..."

Yang Ling looked at him hopelessly.

Political enemy?

Is he worthy of Chen Jingting?

Chen Jingting returned home after a break and went to pay his respects to his parents first. His father wanted to talk to him, so the two of them went to the study.

Chen Jingxi began by asking, "How have you been getting along with the princess lately?"

"Fortunately."

"During your time together, did the princess ask you about court affairs?"

Chen Jingting shook his head.

"Is Dad worried that the princess is a spy for the Prince of Jin?"

In the court, the Chen and Xi families had many conflicts and inconsistent political views, which led to hostility.

"When you first met the second daughter of the Wen family, I was not optimistic about your relationship."

"As for the princess, I asked you to refuse at first, but I didn't expect the princess to ask for an imperial decree."

"Now that the marriage is finalized, there must be no mistakes that would make people laugh at us."

"You are several years older than the princess. You should take good care of her in all matters and set things right. Don't let her go astray."

"Yes, father. It's my son's fault."
