Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

A moment later, Xiao Yaxuan ran in and happily called out, "Sister Qianrou."

Su Qianrou sat up and said, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I want to sleep with you, is that okay?"

"No," Mu Jinchen said before Su Qianrou could answer.

“I wanted to sleep with Qian…” Under his stern warning gaze, Xiao Yaxuan wisely changed her words, “I wanted to sleep with my aunt, not with you.”

"This is our bed."

Seeing that he wouldn't agree, Xiao Yaxuan had no choice but to look at Su Qianrou and say coquettishly, "Aunt."

"Okay, come on up."

"Thank you, Auntie," Xiao Yaxuan quickly climbed onto the bed and lay down between Su Qianrou and Mu Jinchen.

Then, Su Qianrou also lay down.

Xiao Yaxuan hugged her contentedly, nestled happily in her arms, and said, "Sister Qianrou, you smell so good."

Su Qianrou smiled gently, put her arm around her, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

"Okay," Xiao Yaxuan obediently closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Su Qianrou helped her cover herself with the blanket, then closed her eyes and prepared to sleep, completely forgetting about Mu Jinchen and leaving him standing there.

Mu Jinchen glanced at them, looking annoyed. He thought to himself, "This isn't a return to familiar places; it's clearly an opportunity to be humiliated." He then turned his back to them.

The next day, when Su Qianrou woke up, it was already bright. Seeing that Mu Jinchen and Xiao Yaxuan were not there, she called out, "Chunzhu."

"Coming," Chunzhu said as she entered. "Your Highness, you're awake."

"Where are the Prince and Xiao Ya'er?"

"The prince and the young princess went fishing."

"Fishing," going fishing in this cold weather, I don't know what I was thinking. Then, as I got up, I asked, "Did Chang Le and the others go with them too?"

"No, the princess and Miss Yang are in the main room."

Su Qianrou understood and got up to wash up.

When we arrived at the main house, we found that "everyone got up quite early."

"Cousin, you're awake."

"Did Xuan'er bother you last night, which is why you got up so late?"

"No, you got up quite early. Aren't pregnant women supposed to be sleepy?"

"It's all because of this mahjong game that I've been thinking about it all night."

"Me too, cousin. You're so unfair! Why didn't you bring out such a fun thing sooner?"

"Isn't this just finished?" she said, then added, "You guys played all night last night, and you're still not done playing."

"You have no idea how bored I am in the mansion. All I do every day is eat and sleep, just like a pig."

Su Qianrou chuckled, "There is still a difference. Pigs can't afford to live in a princess's mansion."

"Qianrou," Chang Le said coquettishly.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, you guys keep playing, I'm going to make plum blossom cakes."

"Sister Rou, won't you come and play for a while?"

"No, you guys play."

"Finally, I'm going to eat the plum blossom cake I've been craving!" Yang Shanshan said happily.

"Do you need any help?" Li Nan asked.

"You will."

"will not".

"Then why did you ask? I thought you could do it too."

"I'm just being polite."

"Alright, you guys have fun," Su Qianrou said before walking out.

More than an hour later, Su Qianrou came out of the kitchen. Just as she was about to reach the door of the main house, she saw Mu Jinchen and the others walking towards her. The group was chatting and laughing, and it seemed that they had made a good haul.

"Imperial Aunt".

"Sister Qianrou".

Mu Zexuan and Xiao Yaxuan ran towards her.

"Slow down, don't fall."

"Aunt, we caught a lot of fish."

"Really? Then I'll make you a whole fish feast tonight."

"it is good".

"Are you cold?" Su Qianrou touched Mu Zexuan and Xiao Yaxuan's hands.

"It's not cold."

"Your hands are so cold, yet you say you're not cold. Come inside, I've made you some plum blossom cakes."

“Really?” Mu Zexuan’s eyes lit up.

"real".

"Sister Qianrou, I want to eat."

"it is good".

"Fifth Sister-in-law, I want one too."

"And us too."

"Everyone's here. Come inside and warm up."

Then a group of people went inside.

Upon hearing that there was food, the four people inside stopped playing mahjong and quickly got up, fearing that there would be none left if they were late.

"No wonder my brother likes it. It's sweet but not cloying, and it's really delicious."

"Cousin, I'm so lucky to have you. I can always eat all kinds of delicious food."

"Fifth Sister-in-law, where did you learn your cooking skills? They are even better than those of the imperial chefs. Not only are they delicious, but you also have all sorts of bizarre and wonderful ways of cooking them."

"What, you don't actually want to become an apprentice," Yang Shanshan teased.

"I'm just not cut out for cooking, and I'm aware of that."

"It's good that you know, otherwise I'm afraid you would burn the kitchen down."

Unintentionally, Su Qianrou saw Mu Jinchen sitting alone on the couch drinking tea, so she picked up a plate of plum blossom cakes, walked towards him, and handed it to him, saying, "Here you go."

Mu Jinchen looked at her and asked, "Why did you come here?"

"Don't you like the plum blossom cakes I make? Here, have a taste."

Mu Jinchen said sourly, "I thought you had forgotten about me."

Su Qianrou finally understood why he wasn't going over to her and was sitting there alone. It turned out he was jealous again. He really was a big jealous pot, no, a big jealous vat. But what could she do? He was the person she had chosen. She could only coax him. "I could forget anyone but you. I know you like to eat, so I made extra. These are all for you. Try them."

Mu Jinchen looked at her.

"Why are you looking at me? Eat up."

Mu Jinchen then picked up a piece and took a bite.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Su Qianrou looked at him expectantly.

"Ok".

"Then eat more."

"You eat too," Mu Jinchen said, offering the food to her lips.

Su Qianrou took a bite, accidentally getting some on her lips. Mu Jinchen wiped it off for her with his hand, and then the two smiled at each other.

Chang Le and the others watched from the sidelines, unable to suppress their laughter.

That evening, after finishing his official business, Mu Jinchen returned to his room and heard voices coming from inside. He was puzzled and wondered who would be here so late.

When he walked to the bedside and saw Xiao Yaxuan lying on the bed, he said angrily, "What is she doing here?"

"Uncle, are you not welcoming me?"

"Why are you here instead of staying with your parents?"

"Of course I came here to sleep."

"Didn't you already sleep here last night? Go back to your parents' place tonight."

"I don't want to, I want my aunt to stay with me," she said, then hugged Su Qianrou tightly.

"Someone, take her back."

"Aunt, you must do something about my uncle, he's trying to kick me out."

"Alright, let her sleep here."

"no".

"Uncle, you've changed. You used to love me the most."

Can the past and the present be the same? "If you do not return, tomorrow the King will have someone send you back to the Princess's residence."

"Uncle, how could you do this?"

"To go back or not to go back."

"Auntie," Xiao Yaxuan said coquettishly.

"Let's ignore him and go to sleep."

"Okay," Xiao Yaxuan said, glancing triumphantly at Mu Jinchen.

Rou'er.

"If you're sleepy, lie down and we'll sleep together. If you're not sleepy yet, you can read a book for a while. We'll go to sleep now," he said, before hugging Xiao Yaxuan and falling asleep together.

Mu Jinchen's face darkened. He walked to the couch and sat down in a huff. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but start plotting something.
