"When can we return to our fiefdom?" Gu Xinyue asked with a worried expression.

Hearing his wife's words, Chu Yize turned his head, looked at her intently and seriously, and asked softly, "Then do you want to continue staying in this capital city?"

Gu Xinyue frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "In my opinion, Dengzhou is better."

Here, children are pampered like pets; if this continues, they'll likely become unruly when they grow up!

Chu Yize gently patted Gu Xinyue's hand and comforted her, "My dear consort, don't worry. Today, our eldest cousin is willing to accept our three sons and have them become his disciples. This is truly a great blessing for us."

Gu Xinyue disagreed, thinking that even if her older cousin taught the children himself, it would be difficult for him to do so once they returned to Dengzhou.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again.

Then, she added with concern, "I am really worried that they will become like Princess Jiayang in the future, not only unable to distinguish right from wrong, but also extremely arrogant and domineering."

Moreover, Jingyu is the future heir of our Prince's Mansion. If he is not properly instructed, how will he be able to shoulder important responsibilities in the future?

"Don't worry, Yue'er, I will definitely educate the children well and ensure that Jingyu grows into a qualified successor."

Chu Yize looked firmly at Gu Xinyue in front of him, his tone full of confidence and determination.

Then, he gently hooked his finger around Gu Xinyue's delicate nose, and his lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile: "However, there are some things that I will tell you in a few days. You don't need to worry about them. Just live a comfortable life every day."

Gu Xinyue looked at him and said, "With you here, I don't want to use my brain. I've gotten used to relying on you. It's better to find out about the bad things a few days later."

"Moon, at this moment, let us put aside all our worries and trivial matters and immerse ourselves completely in our own world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yize slowly leaned down and gently and affectionately kissed Gu Xinyue's delicate lips, which were as tender as flower petals.

The kiss seemed to freeze time, leaving only the two of them in the world.

The morning sunlight streamed through the window, bathing everything in a soft golden glow.

At this moment, Gu Xinyue was immersed in a sweet dream and was sleeping very soundly.

Suddenly, a soft, sweet voice reached her ears.

"Mother, are you sick? Why aren't you in bed yet?"

It turned out that Jing Kang had come to her bedside and was asking her questions softly.

In her dazed state, Gu Xinyue still thought she was in a dream.

She mumbled indistinctly, "Oh dear, Mother just wants to sleep a little longer, Sanbao, be good, don't disturb Mother's dreams, Mother hasn't even had her sweet strawberry cake yet..."

She woke up as soon as she finished speaking, and when she opened her eyes and saw that the person in front of her was Jing Kang, she was startled.

She instinctively gripped the blanket tightly and wrapped it around herself.

Because she suddenly realized that she had actually slept naked last night! In an instant, her face turned as red as a ripe apple.

"My dear, I wasn't feeling well, but I felt better as soon as I saw you. Why don't you go out and call Sister Xiahe in? I'll be looking for you both later to check your homework, okay?"

"Mother, I'll go tell my brothers right away that you're going to check their homework later!"

After saying this in his childish voice, the little guy, like a happy little rabbit, ran away in a flash with his chubby little legs.

After a while, Chu Yize finished his business and returned to his room, preparing to accompany Gu Xinyue to visit her grandfather at the Marquis of Changning's residence.

However, to his surprise, Gu Xinyue, who was usually gentle, kind, and understanding, ignored him completely, as if he didn't exist.

Chu Yize was secretly puzzled, thinking: This is not like the cheerful and generous Xinyue of usual. She has never been a person with a strange personality. Why is she like this today?

Could it be that I did something wrong to upset her? Yesterday was the same as usual, nothing unusual happened.

Just as Chu Yize was racking his brains trying to figure it out, one of Jing Kang's bodyguards rushed over and reported something to him.

It turned out that before the princess even got up, that little rascal Jingkang had secretly sneaked into the princess's bedroom.

Upon learning of this, Chu Yize frowned. It turned out that Xin Yue was embarrassed in front of the child.

He turned to Xia He and Qiu Ju, who were serving him, and scolded them: "What's wrong with you two? You can't even handle this little thing!"

From this day forward, these three children are absolutely forbidden from entering the Princess's bedroom while she is sleeping! If there is a next time, they will not be let off lightly! You will return to the Dark Guard Camp for three months of training.

Seeing how scared the two looked, Chu Yize thought he should find a nanny so that nothing awkward would happen and Xin Yue wouldn't ignore her.

"Yue'er, shall I accompany you to the Marquis's residence to visit your parents' home?" Chu Yize asked softly, looking at Gu Xinyue in his arms with a tender expression.

Gu Xinyue shook her head slightly and said softly, "Let's not go. Grandfather isn't home, and my eldest sister is also busy. Let's go another day."

Chu Yize nodded upon hearing this, hugged Gu Xinyue even tighter, and said happily, "You're finally willing to talk to me. Then let's go visit Grandfather together another day."

After saying that, he gently placed a kiss on Gu Xinyue's forehead.

At this moment, Gu Xinyue gently nudged Chu Yize and said softly, "Alright, go and check the children's homework. Be careful and thorough."

Chu Yize responded and then turned to leave.

However, not long after he left, Princess Jiayang arrived here.

She was dressed in a gorgeous palace gown, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face, but her eyes revealed a complex emotion that was hard to describe.
