Ye Muchen was in a bad mood at the training ground all day, so he returned home early!

When the morning court session ended, the emperor's chief eunuch, Eunuch Fu, told him that the third princess's one-month celebration would be in three days. Although the emperor did not want to celebrate in a grand manner, the royal family still needed to have a ceremony!

The emperor even specifically reminded him to bring his princess!

He really didn't want to face this situation; women were such a hassle!

He had managed to evade several royal gatherings since his wedding, including the initial greetings after the ceremony!

Fortunately, not long after her wedding, her sister-in-law's pregnancy became unstable, so the Empress Dowager went to the royal temple to pray for the child in her sister-in-law's womb! She only returned to the palace before the Mid-Autumn Festival, otherwise the Empress Dowager would have made him bring the Princess Consort into the palace no matter what!

During the last Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, he said that the princess had caught a cold, and the Empress Dowager insisted that the imperial physicians come and take a look. He said that the physicians in the palace had treated her well, and that he would bring Jingxue to the palace to pay his respects once she recovered!

Sigh! Looks like there's no escaping it this time!

If this drags on any longer, the Empress Dowager might arrange another concubine for him, which would be even more troublesome!

Since he returned to the capital in triumph, too many women have tried to seduce him in the past two years!

He had already sent his attendant to fetch the butler when he entered!

It's time to buy Jingxue some clothes and jewelry to wear when she goes to the palace.

Although Jingxue is a princess and has no shortage of clothes and jewelry, as his queen consort, she cannot allow others to find fault with her!

What a hassle!

Ye Muchen didn't notice Jingxue's first call. Jingxue wondered if he was deaf. "Brother Guard!" Jingxue raised her voice and quickly took a few steps closer to the man.

Ye Muchen turned around!

Jing Xue thought to herself, "Side A is indeed better than side B!"

Blink, could this be that jerk?

However, she immediately dismissed the idea. This dog of a man was a prince, and while it might be an exaggeration to say he was surrounded by a retinue, he would at least have two attendants by his side. He couldn't possibly be a commander without any followers!

But with that kind of looks, he's definitely the captain of the security team at the Prince's Palace!

Ye Muchen was also sizing up Jingxue. There weren't many maids in the mansion, and the girl in front of him had most of her face covered by her loose hair. She was without makeup and had a bare face.

Huh? What kind of hairstyle is that? Her long hair is tied up with a chopstick, she looks like a Taoist nun!

However, this girl has flawless skin, bright eyes that feel moist, and black pupils that are like a cat's, making her look beautiful and stunning!

"What do you want?" The voice remained cold and serious.

Jingxue smiled and bowed. "Brother, I'm lost. Could you tell me how to get to Jingning Garden?"

When Ye Muchen heard the words "Jingning Garden", his handsome brows furrowed slightly. Could she be Jingxue?

"You're not from the Prince's residence?"

"Brother, it's like this, my name is Chunfen. I used to stay in the manor for a while. My young lady lives in Jingning Garden! I've come to visit my master. It's been a long time since I've been here, and I'm a bit lost. I've been looking for Jingning Garden for ages! So, thank you for your help!"

It turns out she was Jingxue's maid!

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll take you there!" Ye Muchen was surprised when he said that. When did he become so enthusiastic?

"Thank you so much, brother! You're such a kind person!" Jingxue said with a smile that curved her eyes.

Then, following Ye Muchen, they turned onto a small road in another direction!

Jingxue took two quick steps, looked around, and leaned closer to Ye Muchen, whispering, "Big brother, you must be the prince's personal bodyguard, right?"

"Why do you say that?" Ye Muchen couldn't help but glance at Jingxue in front of him!

Those alluring eyes were brimming with gossip!

"Judging by your looks, it seems the rumors are true!" Jingxue thought to herself with a wicked smile. Ye Muchen, you just wait!

"What's wrong with my appearance? What rumors are circulating?" This was the first time Ye Muchen had heard someone say this, and he couldn't help but be curious.

Jingxue looked at Ye Muchen with feigned surprise, pretending to hesitate before continuing, "It's just that everyone outside is saying that the famous War King has suffered some kind of shock and doesn't like women anymore, and has become a homosexual. You are like this..." She pointed at Ye Muchen and then shook her head with pity!

Upon hearing Jing Xue's lewd words, Ye Muchen's face flushed red!

"That's nonsense!"

"Hey! Brother, don't be so hasty! You don't know, everyone outside, from 80-year-old women to toddlers, let's just say everyone on Earth, no, everyone in the capital, knows about this! But even if this is false, it's true that the prince has a white moonlight in his heart, a woman he can't have, right? Sigh! It's just like that poem says, 'The most unforgettable love is the one you can't have, the most heartbreaking is the one you can't see!' Why is my young lady's life so miserable!" Jingxue clicked her tongue and said!

Before Ye Muchen could even process what he'd just heard about "having a fondness for men," he felt as if he'd been punched again when Jingxue said something about "unrequited love"!

He stopped and pointed ahead, saying, "Turn over that covered walkway, then go around another courtyard, and you'll reach Jingning Garden!" He then turned and left.

Jingxue could tell from his reaction that this bastard was probably that scoundrel Ye Muchen! She had wanted to say a few more sarcastic things to him, but he left quickly!

She casually plucked a leaf and put it in her mouth!

With a mischievous grin, he said loudly, "Brother Guard, thank you!"

I turned around and walked back in a good mood. You bastard, you gotta run fast!

Otherwise, I'll disgust you to death!

When Ye Muchen returned to Lingyun Pavilion, the words "homosexuality" kept lingering in his mind. He wondered if what that girl said was true. Could there really be such rumors outside? It was disgusting!

At this moment, the steward and his attendant Gao Chi walked in!

Ye Muchen instructed the steward to hurry up and prepare clothes and jewelry for Jingxue to enter the palace. As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at Gao Chi several times!

It doesn't look good either!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he was startled. Did he really have a thing for men? Did he start judging them by their looks?

Ye Muchen grew increasingly frustrated!

Where did this brat come from?

She wanted to ask the steward, but couldn't bring herself to ask. The news had already spread far and wide. Did everyone in the mansion know about it? How could this be?

Gao Chi felt uneasy under Ye Muchen's gaze; he hadn't done anything wrong today!

What does this prince mean?

The next day, when the housekeeper came, only Jingxue was in the courtyard fiddling with the medicinal herbs! It was only when she was handling these herbs and exercising in the morning that Jingxue felt like she was still in the modern world.

She misses home and her family!

Although only my dad and grandpa are at home now!

In modern times, her mother abandoned her and her father and went abroad when she was less than a year old!

Her grandmother raised her, but sadly she passed away the year before last!

When the steward told her that she was to go to the palace with Ye Muchen in two days, her first thought was to refuse! Now he remembers her? What does he take her for?

"Butler, I haven't fully recovered yet, and it wouldn't be good to pass on my illness to others! So I'd better not go!"
