"I intend to promote him to the position of governor of Zhongzhou!"

Huo Jingxuan stood up, looked down at her, his gaze indifferent.

"You want to transfer him out of the capital, yet you still want to give him an official position?"

Jiang Xi was unsure of Huo Jingxuan's intentions.

"The only condition is that he finds a way to publicly acknowledge his relationship with Xie Sichun!"

Huo Jingxuan revealed his intentions as soon as the game ended.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xi was deeply shocked.

"Now everyone in Beijing knows that the Xie family is going to marry Xie Sichun to Xu Maoqing's foolish son."

If you make him publicly acknowledge his relationship with Xie Sichun, wouldn't that let everyone know that Xie's granddaughter has cheated on Xu's big idiot?

"At that time, neither the Xie family nor the Xu family will tolerate Wei Liangyuan. You clearly want to kill him!"

"Wei Liangyuan wants to enter the court as an official, and this is his only chance. Otherwise, once the Xie and Xu families unite by marriage, he will still be unable to escape death!"

Huo Jingxuan did not feel that his intentions were sinister at all.

On the contrary, his move undoubtedly gave Wei Liangyuan a choice.

As for whether he dares to do it or not, that depends on his courage!

Although Jiang Xi wasn't very bright, she understood the meaning behind Huo Jingxuan's words after a little thought.

If the Xie and Xu families were to marry, given Wei Liangyuan's relationship with Xie Sichun, neither family would be able to tolerate him.

Therefore, the choice Huo Jingxuan gave him became his only way out.

Seeing that Jiang Xi had figured it out, Yang Xuerou took another step forward and said to Huo Jingxuan.

"In order to bring Xie Sichun and Xu Changsheng together, the Queen of the British Duke's Mansion specially organized a hunting competition in the suburbs of Beijing."

Those attending are all sons and daughters of officials; they've invited me to open the event. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to accompany me?

Huo Jingxuan and Yang Xuerou have been engaged for two years but have not yet gotten married, and rumors are circulating in the capital that their relationship has soured.

Yang Xuerou wanted to take this opportunity to clarify the rumors and also to demonstrate her status as the future mistress of the Regent's Palace.

This request was perfectly reasonable, and she was certain that Huo Jingxuan would not refuse.

But for some reason, Huo Jingxuan subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi was still thinking about Wei Liangyuan and didn't notice Huo Jingxuan's look at her.

Yang Xuerou, on the contrary, was unhappy. Did they really have to ask Jiang Xi's opinion on something like this? Could it be that Huo Jingxuan had really fallen for Jiang Xi?

No, we absolutely cannot let Jiang Xi live. This hunting tournament is the perfect opportunity.

I must seize this opportunity to completely eliminate her!

Huo Jingxuan became inexplicably angry after realizing that Jiang Xi's attention was not on him at all.

This girl kept saying that Jade Palace kidnapped her not only to get revenge on Yang Xuerou, but also because she had always liked her.

Now it seems that it was nothing more than her words to save her own life!

If she truly liked him, how could she be indifferent to Yang Xuerou's invitation?

Thinking this, Huo Jingxuan, with a stern face, turned to Yang Xuerou and said, "Fine!"

Since being transferred to serve Huo Jingxuan, Jiang Xi finally has her own room in the Regent's Palace.

It was located right next to Huo Jingxuan's bedroom, making it convenient for Huo Jingxuan to use it at any time.

Although the room was not big, Jiang Xi was quite satisfied.

Because they lived so close, she had the opportunity to go to Huo Jingxuan's bedroom to look for the whereabouts of the Cold Crow Token.

In the evening, Huo Jingxuan dined in the hall, with Jiang Xi serving him with her hands hanging down.

Huo Jingxuan suddenly said, "You will come with me to the hunting competition tomorrow!"

Although Jiang Xi was a princess, she was never invited to gatherings of noble ladies in the capital because she was not favored.

When she was raised in the Yang family, she was rarely allowed to see outsiders, so even if she went there, she was not worried about being recognized.

Jiang Xi knew perfectly well why Huo Jingxuan had brought her along.

I'll use this opportunity to tip off Xie Sichun!

"Oh!"

Jiang Xi gave a perfunctory reply, her eyes fixed on the scallion-flavored spare ribs on the table.

Huo Jingxuan had made this dish for her when he had amnesia, and she loved it.

Noticing Jiang Xi's gaze, Huo Jingxuan saw through her thoughts and turned to ask her, "Want to eat?"

Jiang Xi swallowed awkwardly, "I don't want to..."

Huo Jingxuan raised an eyebrow, pointed at the scallion-flavored spare ribs, and said to Jiang Xi, "Move some over here for me!"

Jiang Xi bent down and moved the scallion-flavored spare ribs to Huo Jingxuan.

Huo Jingxuan raised his sleeve, picked up the plate, and poured the entire plate into his own bowl.

Jiang Xi was amazed and muttered under her breath, "Be careful not to choke!"

"What are you muttering to yourself?" Huo Jingxuan took in Jiang Xi's little expression.

"I told you to eat more!" Jiang Xi turned around and put on a fawning smile.

"I suddenly have lost my appetite!"

Huo Jingxuan took two bites and then pushed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Jiang Xi.

"Come, help me eat it!"

"Am I a dog? Why should I eat your leftovers?" Jiang Xi said unhappily.

"You're disobedient, aren't you? Then leave the palace!" Huo Jingxuan threatened coldly.

Jiang Xi's expression changed instantly: "You misunderstood. I meant you don't have much left. Do you want the other dishes? If not, I'll eat them all!"

Huo Jingxuan had clearly never seen someone as flexible and adaptable as Jiang Xi before. He raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Jiang Xi wisely sat down beside him, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat heartily.

The Beijing Film Academy students standing behind them were practically staring in disbelief.

The prince has always been a germaphobe; he dislikes not only sharing food with others, but also sitting at the same table to eat with them.

But now he's letting Jiang Xi use his own cutlery and even letting her sit next to him to eat. This is simply...unbelievable!

Jiang Xi munched on a rib while making her comments.

"Hmm, the chefs at the Prince's mansion aren't very good; they're nowhere near as good as you. I love your scallion-flavored spare ribs the most!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingxuan also recalled the time when he had cooked for Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi never tasted a single piece of the white sugar glutinous rice osmanthus cake that he made last.

If she had tasted it, she certainly wouldn't think that scallion ribs were the best.

Huo Jingxuan's expression suddenly changed when he realized what he was thinking.

When she looked at Jiang Xi beside her, she couldn't help but feel complicated.

"You're supposed to be a princess, yet you eat like this!"

Jiang Xi shrugged nonchalantly: "When did my royal uncle ever treat me like a princess?"

"You..." Huo Jingxuan was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Xi suddenly remembered something: "Oh, when you had amnesia, you did call me Princess!"

"You..." Huo Jingxuan stood up abruptly in anger.

Jiang Xi remained calm and composed, completely unaffected by his anger.

Huo Jingxuan really didn't know what to say to her, but he didn't want to let her off so easily, so he simply reached out and snatched the rice bowl from in front of her.

"You're not allowed to eat anymore!"

Jiang Xi slammed down her chopsticks and stood up: "Fine, I won't eat then!"

Anyway, she had almost finished eating!

Huo Jingxuan was stunned by her shout. He was now the regent, and even the new emperor wouldn't dare to yell at him like that!
