Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

Inside the room, Su Qianrou sat on the bed and said impatiently, "Quickly, help me remove the phoenix crown."

"Miss, you can't remove it yet. You have to wait for the Prince to arrive before you can remove it."

"When will he come? If it's really not possible, go and call him over."

"The prince is still entertaining the guests, so it probably won't be that soon," Juxia said.

"No, I can't take it anymore. Take it off quickly, or my neck will break," he said, and started to do it himself.

"Miss, wait a little longer," Chunzhu hurriedly stopped her.

"I can't wait any longer."

“Miss, this is against etiquette,” Juxia also advised.

Just as they were arguing, a nanny walked in, her face full of smiles, "This old servant greets Your Highness."

Su Qianrou then stopped what she was doing and asked, "I wonder who the nanny is...?"

"Your Highness, this old servant is the Prince's wet nurse, Li Qishi."

"So it's Granny Qi. May I ask what brings you here, Granny Qi?"

"The prince knows that the princess has not eaten anything all day, so he asked this old servant to bring some pastries for her to eat."

"Thank you for your trouble, Granny."

Chunzhu was very observant and immediately took the food box.

"If Your Highness has any instructions, please ask this old servant at any time."

"Okay, thank you, Granny."

"Then this old servant will take his leave."

"Take care, Granny."

Chunzhu opened the food box, and inside was a plate of pastries. "Miss, the Prince is so thoughtful. He was afraid you would go hungry, so he specially sent someone to bring you food."

"Quickly help me take off the phoenix crown, I'm sleepy, hungry and tired."

"Miss, please bear with it a little longer. The prince should be arriving soon. If he sees you disheveled, he might be angry."

"He's seen what I look like without makeup before, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Can……".

"Stop dawdling, hurry up," Su Qianrou said impatiently.

Chunzhu and Juxia exchanged a glance. Not daring to disobey, they had no choice but to step forward and help her remove the phoenix crown.

However, before they could make a move, Chang Le and Xiao Yaxuan walked in.

Xiao Yaxuan ran straight to Su Qianrou's side and happily called out, "Sister Qianrou."

“Didn’t I say I should call her Aunt?” Chang Le said as she walked over.

"But I like to call her Sister Qianrou."

"It's okay, Xiaoya can call me whatever she likes."

“That won’t do. If she calls you ‘sister’ and I call you ‘sister-in-law,’ the generational hierarchy will be messed up.”

Su Qianrou couldn't help but laugh.

Her smile stunned Xiao Yaxuan. "Sister Qianrou, you are so beautiful."

“You’re cute too,” Su Qianrou said, patting her little face.

"Sister Qianrou, if I miss you in the future, can I come and stay here?"

"Of course."

"Really? May I stay here today?"

"No," Chang Le said before Su Qianrou could answer.

Why?

"Today is your uncle's wedding night. What are you doing here?"

What is the wedding night?

You'll find out later.

Xiao Yaxuan didn't ask any more questions, but she was still unwilling to give up. She took Su Qianrou's hand and said coquettishly, "Sister Qianrou, I want to sleep with you."

Under normal circumstances, Su Qianrou would have agreed without hesitation, but today was indeed inappropriate, so she did not respond.

"aunt".

"Little Ya'er, be good. Come back to stay here in a few days. You can stay as long as you want then, okay?"

"All right".

"Little Ya'er is so good."

"What are you doing here?" Mu Jinchen walked in.

"My brother has arrived... Since my brother has arrived, we'll head back now," he said, taking Xiao Yaxuan's hand. "Sister-in-law, we'll be going now. I wish you a happy wedding night, a blissful union, and a loving and harmonious marriage." His expression was incredibly ambiguous. Then, he pulled Xiao Yaxuan out of the house.

Su Qianrou pretended not to see it.

"Are you alright?" Mu Jinchen asked.

"not good".

"What happened?"

"It's all because of this phoenix crown. It's heavy enough, but I can't move around too much. My neck is about to give out after a whole day."

"Then why not tear it down?"

"They said they can't demolish it unless you come."

"Hurry up and help the princess remove her headdress."

"Yes".

Chunzhu and Juxia then stepped forward to help Su Qianrou remove the phoenix crown.

Su Qianrou instantly felt alive again, then lay back down on the bed, only to be poked by something. She lifted the blanket and found the bed covered in dried fruit. Somewhat helplessly, she sat up and said, "Getting married is too tiring."

"If you are tired, why not take a bath first to relax? Also, I have had the kitchen prepare some food for you. If you are hungry, you can eat."

"You have no idea how sleepy, hungry, and tired I am right now."

"Then take a shower first, then eat something, and then get some rest."

"Ok".

"Then I shall take my leave."

"Ok".

Then, Mu Jinchen walked out.

"Miss, why don't you keep the prince here?"

“Yes, Miss, tonight is our wedding night. If the Prince doesn’t let us stay overnight, how will you maintain your position in the Prince’s mansion?” Chunzhu said with a worried expression.

Su Qianrou disagreed, saying, "My relationship with the prince is purely professional; we have no feelings for each other."

"Can……".

"Alright, you all go and prepare, I'm going to take a bath."

"Yes".

In the study, seeing that it was getting late and Mu Jinchen was still dealing with official business, Yingfeng couldn't help but feel anxious. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, it's getting late. Aren't you going to Yanxi Palace?"

"I will spend the night in the study."

"Your Highness, tonight is your wedding night, and you're spending the night in the study... This..."

"What, you have a problem with that?"

“No, it’s just…” Yingfeng didn’t know how to say it.

Mu Jinchen ignored him and continued to handle his official duties.

The next day, Su Qianrou slowly woke up and was stunned by the unfamiliar surroundings. Then she realized what was happening and called out, "Chunzhu."

Chunzhu then walked in. "Miss, no, Your Highness, you're awake."

"What time is it now?"

"Your Highness, it is already 3:45 AM."

"Where is the prince?"

"They're waiting for you outside for breakfast."

"Why didn't you call me?" Su Qianrou said, and started to get up.

As Chunzhu helped her put on her shoes, she said, "The prince won't allow it. He said it's fine for you to sleep a little longer and he can wait."

"He is fine, but the Empress Dowager is still waiting."

"What should we do then?"

"Hurry up," Su Qianrou said, putting on her shoes and quickly washing up.

Then, they arrived at the main hall, where Mu Jinchen was sitting on a couch reading a book.

"I've kept Your Highness waiting."

"It's alright," Mu Jinchen said, putting down the book in his hand.

"let's go".

"No rush, let's have breakfast first."

"But the Empress Dowager is still waiting."

“It’s alright. I’ve already sent someone to tell her that we’ll go to the palace later,” Mu Jinchen said, walking over to sit down. Seeing that she was still standing, he added, “Come and sit down.”

Seeing that he wasn't in a hurry, Su Qianrou wasn't in a hurry either, so she went over and sat down.

"Try it and see if it suits your taste."

"Okay," Su Qianrou said without ceremony, picking up her chopsticks, casually taking a piece, putting it in her mouth, and her eyes lit up, "Delicious."

"Eat more if it tastes good."

"Ok".

The two ate at a leisurely pace, and it was half an hour later when they finally got up and went to the palace.
