After giving birth to twins, the princess became pregnant again, and the royal uncle took care of he

With only Jun Jiuxiao and Chu Xingyao left in the room, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

Chu Xingyao patted the bed, gesturing for Jun Jiuxiao to sit on it, but Jun Jiuxiao did not move.

She smiled, her eyes crinkling, her cheeks flushed like the rising sun, and her soft, sweet voice uttered.

Heart-stirring: "Sit down, you're too tall, I can't even see the 'Galaxy' when I talk to you."

"it is good"

Jun Jiuxiao remains a word that conveys indifference and aloofness.

When Chu Xingyao saw him sit down, she reached out her slender hand, wanting to take his wrist, check his pulse, and investigate the inexplicable heartache in her heart.

However, Jun Jiuxiao dodged it as if it were a snake or a scorpion, his voice tinged with confusion:

"What does Miss Chu mean by this?"

"I'd like to take your pulse."

Chu Xingyao's voice carried a hint of persistence.

He said in a cold voice, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Xie, but there's no need."

His eyes flickered for a moment after he finished speaking, but then he regained his usual composure.

Chu Xingyao looked up at him with her eyes as bright as stars, and he dared not look directly into her eyes.

He frantically looked into the distance, his heart churning, but he tried his best to keep his face calm.

He remained silent for a moment, then finally said simply, "I know my own body best; you should worry about yourself."

His words carried a hint of detachment, yet also revealed a touch of concern.

Just as she was about to say something, Night Hawk came in carrying clothes—a very exquisite little jacket, along with shoes and socks.

Chu Xingyao thought to herself, "He doesn't trust me now, I'll see later."

Just then, Jun Jiuxiao's voice came:

"Put your clothes on first."

After Jun Jiuxiao finished speaking, he got up to leave, but then glanced at the hem of Chu Xingyao's dress and gestured for her to let go.

"Don't go far, I'm scared."

Chu Xingyao's voice trembled slightly.

"it is good."

Jun Jiuxiao's response was another simple word, but it calmed Chu Xingyao down considerably.

Chu Xingyao dressed and put on her shoes and socks as quickly as possible.

On the table, an exquisite wooden box was open, inside which lay the "Jade Rabbit Holding a Fragrant Hairpin".

That was a hairpin gift he gave her in their past life.

She picked it up gently, stuck it diagonally in her hair, and went out the door.

The jade rabbit glowed softly in the moonlight, as if carrying memories and emotions from a past life.

Jun Jiuxiao stood at the door, his gaze inadvertently falling on the "Jade Rabbit Holding Fragrance Hairpin" on Chu Xingyao's head, and his heart trembled slightly.

Chu Xingyao, of course, noticed his gaze. She couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, but she still pretended to be seeing the hairpin for the first time.

Chu Xingyao's voice trembled slightly, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes:

"My coming-of-age ceremony will be at dawn. I really like this hairpin, so let's consider it a gift from the prince."

She gently touched the "Jade Rabbit Holding Fragrance Hairpin" on her head.

"what ever."

Jun Jiuxiao's voice remained calm, but he lowered his eyes slightly, the light in his eyes hidden by his thick eyelashes.

Only a deep, dark hue was visible, as if hiding endless secrets, yet unwilling to let anyone notice.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the General's Mansion."

His voice carried a barely perceptible sense of reluctance and longing.

Chu Xingyao thought to herself, "I've come all this way, how could I possibly leave?"

She suddenly turned her head, her peach blossom eyes slightly curved, and gave Jun Jiuxiao a mischievous smile, saying:

"Your Highness, I'm hungry."

This was the first time in his life that he had seen her smile at him.

Her round face and shallow dimples were like melting snow, the return of spring, and wildflowers blooming across the fields.

It burned down relentlessly, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

His mind was blank, his brain empty, with only his heart beating alone and strongly.

Night Hawk was extremely worried looking at his prince's worthless appearance.

She went to prepare the food without waiting for Jun Jiuxiao's instructions, since the prince had never refused Miss Chu's requests.

Before long, a sumptuous feast was laid out on the table, many of which were Chu Xingyao's favorite dishes.

Chu Xingyao's gaze shifted, gently landing on the wine pot by the window.

Her voice held a hint of teasing, yet also a touch of tenderness: "Your Highness is drinking alone? Let me keep you company."

She reached out, wanting to touch the wine jug, but Jun Jiuxiao gently stopped her.

Jun Jiuxiao's voice carried a hint of determination and a hint of concern:

"You are not allowed to drink alcohol today for your coming-of-age ceremony."

His eyes were deep, like the brightest star in the night sky, quietly watching Chu Xingyao.

Chu Xingyao smiled brightly, her delicate skin revealing shallow dimples that were both radiant and mischievous.

She picked up a slice of lotus root and placed it in Jun Jiuxiao's bowl, then looked up and asked, "Will Your Highness attend my coming-of-age ceremony?"

Her voice held a hint of expectation and a slight tremor.

Jun Jiuxiao looked at the food in his bowl, feeling a mix of emotions. In their past life, apart from when she poisoned him, they had almost never eaten together, let alone served him food.

This scene was both unfamiliar and heartwarming to him.

Seeing his silence, Chu Xingyao continued to persuade him, "Your Highness, I hope you can come."

Her voice was soft, with a hint of pleading.

After saying that, she felt a little embarrassed and added hastily, "My mother prepared a lot of delicious food. Since you're here, you can relax and unwind."

Her eyes held a hint of expectation and a hint of unease, as if she were waiting for his answer.

Jun Jiuxiao gave Chu Xingyao a deep look, and finally nodded: "Okay."

His face was as cold as frost, revealing no emotion. Only the slightly trembling fingers behind his back betrayed the turmoil in his heart.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Xingyao's eyes, and she couldn't help but smile, revealing a genuine smile.

After eating for a while, she suddenly thought of something and said to Jun Jiuxiao:

"I really like the coming-of-age gift from Your Highness, so I'll give Your Highness a return gift as well."

A hint of surprise flashed in Jun Jiuxiao's eyes. He did not refuse, but simply waited quietly for Chu Xingyao to continue.

"Your Highness, the army that the Prince of Yan privately raised should be hidden in the cemetery. If you investigate in that direction, you will surely find something."

Chu Xingyao's voice suddenly turned serious, and her eyes flashed with a determined light.

Jun Jiuxiao's eyes narrowed: "Do you know what it means to tell me this?"

A complex emotion welled up within him. He knew how much Chu Xingyao had loved Jun Xuanche in his past life, but now…

Chu Xingyao's clear and melodious voice rang out

"This means that Jun Xuanche will never be able to sit on that supreme position."

Chu Xingyao recalled how Jun Xuanche ascended the throne in her previous life, wiped out her entire family, and slaughtered her maternal grandfather's family.

Even the innocent child in her womb recalled the scene of Jun Jiuxiao collapsing in front of her in the heavy snow.

The hatred was impossible to suppress.

"You don't like Jun Xuanche anymore?" Jun Jiuxiao's voice carried a hint of inquiry.

Chu Xingyao suppressed her hatred: "Don't mention that beast in front of me."

Her voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating her deep disgust and hatred for Jun Xuanche.

Jun Jiuxiao frowned; he could sense Chu Xingyao's changing emotions.

He knew there must be an untold story behind this.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Why do you hate him so much? Is it because love has turned to hate?"

Chu Xingyao realized her emotions, but she couldn't tell Jun Jiuxiao about her past life.

He said fiercely, "That beast dared to humiliate my father like this in the imperial court. I will never forgive him."
