Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

That night, Su Qianrou and Mu Jinchen lay in bed, embracing each other.

Mu Jinchen asked casually, "What do you think of the actors at Nanfeng Pavilion?"

Su Qianrou looked up at him.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"I'm wondering whether I should lie or tell the truth."

"What is a lie?"

"A lie is...generally speaking."

"Then what is the truth?"

"If I tell you the truth, you won't get angry again, will you?"

"will not".

"That's good".

So, what is the truth?

"To be honest, she's not bad. She's multi-talented and looks alright too," Su Qianrou said, then lay back in his arms.

As a result, Mu Jinchen rolled over and pinned her down, saying, "Compared to me, how do you compare?"

Su Qianrou was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, reached out and hugged his neck, saying, "Compared to Your Highness, I am naturally inferior. After all, Your Highness is skilled in both literature and martial arts, not to mention your appearance. You have sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose like a hanging gall, lips like painted rouge, and a face like jade." She lightly traced the spot she was referring to with her finger, "You are truly captivating."

"Since you're so obsessed with it, why did you go to the South Wind Pavilion?"

"Didn't I already say that I was dragged there by Chang Le?"

"Where did that actor touch you today?"

"what you up to".

"So they crippled his hand."

"Didn't you say you weren't angry?"

Mu Jinchen didn't say anything. How could he not be angry? Just thinking about those entertainers feeding her grapes and massaging her made him furious. He wished he could chop off their hands.

To coax him, Su Qianrou gently kissed his thin lips, "Don't be angry."

"not enough".

So Su Qianrou kissed him again. Just as she was about to leave, Mu Jinchen pressed her head down and deepened the kiss. For a moment, the two of them were somewhat lost in the moment.

Mu Jinchen's breathing became noticeably heavier, and his body felt somewhat hot.

Su Qianrou was also moved, and her body involuntarily went limp.

After a while, Mu Jinchen asked, "Is it okay?"

Su Qianrou knew what he was asking, and although she was a little shy, she still replied, "Mm."

Upon receiving her reply, Mu Jinchen couldn't wait to kiss her soft red lips again, and his hands began to roam freely over her body.

Everywhere his hand touched, Su Qianrou felt a tingling sensation, and her body grew hotter and hotter, causing her to make some noises.

This was undoubtedly an aphrodisiac for Mu Jinchen, forcing him to want more and making his actions more urgent as he impatiently tried to undress Su Qianrou.

Soon, the two were completely honest with each other, giving themselves to one another without reservation, and that night was destined to be sleepless.

The next day, Su Qianrou slowly woke up and subconsciously called out, "Chunzhu," only to find that her voice was extremely hoarse.

"The little wildcat has woken up."

Upon hearing this, Su Qianrou looked up and asked, "What are you doing here? Didn't you go to court?"

Mu Jinchen put his arm around her and replied, "I've been back for a while now," then asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to get up and eat something?"

"Ok".

Su Qianrou tried to get up, but her whole body was sore and she had no strength at all. She was so angry that she couldn't help but punch Mu Jinchen in the chest.

"What's wrong".

What do you think?

As if remembering something, Mu Jinchen took her hand and said with a smile, "It's my fault, I didn't control myself last night."

"I don't want to talk to you right now."

"How can that little wildcat forgive me?"

"Who are you calling a little wildcat?"

“You’ve forgotten what your older brother said: stray cats can scratch people.”

"I didn't scratch you."

"Take a look for yourself," Mu Jinchen said, turning his face to show her his neck, where three red marks were clearly visible.

Su Qianrou couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"There's more on your back, do you still want to see it?"

"I...it's all your fault, who told you to..." Thinking of something, Su Qianrou's face turned red, and she buried her head in his chest in embarrassment.

Mu Jinchen couldn't help but laugh and teased, "What's wrong with me?"

"Shut up."

Mu Jinchen couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Afterwards, the two got up and went to have their meal.

After the meal, Mu Jinchen, unusually, did not attend to official business but instead accompanied Su Qianrou to take a nap. However, he did not sleep for long, only half an hour before waking up and going to the study next door to handle official business.

Su Qianrou slept for more than two hours, and when she woke up, it was already late afternoon.

At that moment, she was sitting on the tatami mat reading a book.

Not long after, Chang Le walked in.

Su Qianrou was somewhat surprised. "Why are you here?" she asked. Then she asked, "How are things between you and the prince consort? You didn't really get a divorce, did you?"

Chang Le sat down opposite her and said, "No, we're doing fine."

"You two have made up."

"Ok".

"You just tolerated that mistress like that?"

"No, it's all a misunderstanding. That woman is the prince consort's cousin, his aunt's daughter. As you know, I only have one child, Xuan'er, but his mother wants a grandson. Four years have passed and my belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy. So she thought I had injured my body during Xuan'er's birth and couldn't have any more children. So she called her niece over. At first, his mother wanted his cousin to live in the princess's residence, but the prince consort was afraid I would misunderstand, so he had her live in a separate courtyard."

"Isn't it forbidden for a prince consort to take concubines? Does Madam Xiao intend to make her niece her mistress?"

"If I agree, then it is possible."

"So what do you think? You're not really going to agree, are you?"

"How could that be? Even if I weren't pregnant, I still wouldn't agree to it."

"Wait a minute, tell me you're pregnant, you're expecting."

"Yes, it's been more than two months."

“Then what did you do yesterday…”

"I didn't know it then. Yesterday, when I returned to the manor, I had a big argument with my husband. As a result, I got so emotional that I had a stomachache. I had to call the imperial physician, and that's when I found out I was pregnant."

"The child may be in danger."

"If I had something to do, I wouldn't have come today."

Su Qianrou thought about it and agreed, but she was still a little worried. "You haven't even been here for three months. Why aren't you resting properly at home? What are you doing here at the Prince's mansion?"

"I'm just worried about you."

"Worried about me?" Su Qianrou thought to herself, "What do I have to worry about?"

"Was my brother very angry yesterday?"

"Ok".

"Then he didn't do anything to you, right?"

Nothing much happened, it just kept me up all night. Of course, she would never say that out loud. "No, I'm perfectly fine."

Chang Le looked her up and down and saw that she was full of energy, which did not seem like... "My brother did nothing."

"What can he do?"

Chang Le interpreted this as a criticism of Mu Jinchen's incompetence. Then, recalling what Mu Jinchen had said earlier, she became even more convinced of her own thoughts and asked, "Is Your Majesty in the manor now?"

"Yes, you need to find him."

"Ok".

"Then go ahead, he's right next door."

"Neighbor, is my brother so clingy these days? He's even bringing official business here to handle it."

"Didn't you want to see him? Go quickly."

Chang Le smiled, then got up and walked out.
