"It's alright, it's just..."

Halfway through her speech, Sang Jiang suddenly stopped, having learned her lesson from last time, she was now being very careful.

If I say something carelessly and someone with ulterior motives overhears it, I might lose my life.

Long Jingchen pouted slightly in disappointment when he saw that she wasn't going to continue.

Sang Jiang turned to look at him and said, "Young master, you seem to have a lot of free time."

Long Jingchen smiled, his narrow eyes curving slightly: "It's alright, it's all thanks to His Majesty's consideration for his subordinates."

He spoke without blushing or skipping a beat, praising himself with such confidence and self-assurance.

Sang Jiang naturally wouldn't dare speak ill of the Emperor. She blinked and looked at Long Jingchen: "So what's your position? A guard or something else?"

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully between Long Jingchen's legs.

Long Jingchen's expression stiffened slightly: "Fourth Miss seems quite interested in whether a man is capable or not? Why don't we give it a try, Fourth Miss?"

His words were quite blatant and aggressive, causing Sang Jiang's face to flush red: "You scoundrel! Shameless!"

Long Jingchen was clearly mocking her, even saying that she was very interested in whether a man was good enough for her. What did he mean by that?!

Is she that kind of person?!

After finishing her sentence, Sang Jiang turned and left. After taking a couple of steps, she suddenly realized that she, as a modern woman from the 21st century, had been teased by an ancient man.

How embarrassing for her if word gets out!

Thinking about it, she turned back to look at Long Jingchen: "This young master speaks as if he has a lot of experience? May I ask how many wives and concubines you have in your family?"

Long Jingchen: ...

It seems like he can't answer this question.

The women in his harem were his wives and concubines, but when it comes to experience, he really didn't seem to have any...

But what does this woman mean by saying that?

Most women would blush and leave after hearing this, but she actually turned around and flirted with him?

Long Jingchen was at a loss for words.

"Judging from your appearance, young master, you probably don't have much experience. You're just all talk."

After saying that, Sang Jiang rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave.

Long Jingchen: ...

So what is this "mouth cannon" thing?

After arguing with someone, Sang Jiang felt much better and refreshed.

Kou'er watched her walk away with her arms outstretched, looking so carefree, and couldn't help but mutter, "Miss, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that?"

The little girl's face had already turned as red as an apple when Long Jingchen mentioned why she was so interested in men's performance.

Sang Jiang looked back at Kou'er's rosy little face and couldn't help but turn around and eat a few more bites.

"It's nothing, just some empty talk. Do you think I'd let that go?"

Kou'er: ...

That's not what she meant!

"Miss, what do you mean by 'verbal sparring'?"

Kou'er hesitated for a while but couldn't help asking the question.

"Well, it just means bragging."

After saying that, Sang Jiang kicked off her shoes and pounced on her bed.

This bed is so much softer than the one she had in the Prime Minister's residence, and Sang Jiang really likes it.

We must ask Liu Ruyu for a few quilts at the Prime Minister's residence later.

Kou'er nodded as if she understood, "Miss is so amazing! She can make someone's bragging sound so artistic."

It seems he still has a lot to learn from the young lady.

Because Shadow had been following Sang Jiang, he had overheard her conversation with Long Jingchen.

Hearing Sang Jiang's explanation, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. This woman really dared to speak her mind.

He wondered what Sang Jiang's expression would be if he told her now that he was the emperor. Thinking about it, he felt a little bit of anticipation.

If he goes to find Sang Jiang now...
