After saying this, he pulled Yang to his daughter and the prince, leaving Princess Qingyuan standing there alone, angry and anxious, without saying a word in rebuttal.

Chu Zhinan didn't have her in his heart. Even if they had some feelings for each other when they were young, it was all indifferent now.

But she just liked that he dared to be so straightforward with her, unlike her husband, who always said things that were insincere, which made her feel disgusted.

As long as Chu Zhinan is willing, it would be nice to use her place as a place for entertainment.

She is a princess. No one who comes to her would think that she is being made fun of. They would only think that she is making fun of others.

It’s a pity that Chu Zhinan won’t come. If he really came, she would be happy.

"Xiaoxiao! Daddy's good daughter, Daddy misses you so much!"

Chu Zhinan is now content with having a daughter. He reaches out and picks up Chu Xiaoxiao who is sitting under the peach tree, smiling lovingly.

Seeing how good he was to his daughter, Princess Qingyuan was even more envious. She actually also wanted a daughter, but had never had one.

Chu Zhinan said that she couldn't give birth to a daughter, which really hit her pain point. It didn't matter. If she couldn't have a daughter, she would treat his daughter as her own.

Because she loves the man and his family, she was happy to do so and made Yang so angry that she died.

[Dad! You are so cheesy! Just keep it in your heart and don’t say it out loud. It’s only been a short while since we last met, why are you thinking about me already?]

The baby held the food in his hand, nibbled a little, then reached out and stuffed it into Chu Zhinan's mouth.

[I'll give you something delicious, shut up. 】

Yang couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and she thought her daughter was becoming more and more adorable. She was disgusted with her father's talkativeness, so she used cakes to silence him.

Chu Zhinan didn't feel disgusted at all and actually opened his mouth and ate the pastry handed to him by his daughter.

The prince stood aside and laughed, thinking that Sister Xiaoxiao was really mean, for she forced the Duke of Protectorate to eat the food he didn't like.

Yang took out a handkerchief to wipe her daughter's mouth. After wiping, she wanted to take her daughter away, but was stopped by Chu Zhinan.

"You go and chat with those mistresses who you rarely see. I'll take Xiaoxiao to meet Prince Consort Xiao and Prince Xiao. Since we're here, I can't let anyone pick on me."

[You have to go quickly, the Prince Consort and the Prince will be busy soon, and Cheng is coming.]

Chu Zhinan: “…”

Who is Cheng? What is her relationship with Prince Consort Xiao?

Yang: “…”

Could it be that Cheng is Prince Consort Xiao’s mistress?

Prince: “…”

Sister Xiaoxiao is so amazing, how come she knows everything?

[This is someone that Li Sizu brought here! He is planning to perform an opera. 】

Chu Zhinan and Yang looked at the eight-year-old prince at the same time, with surprise in their eyes. What did he bring him here for? To reveal the true identity of Prince Consort Xiao?

Li Sizu pretended not to notice the strange looks from the Duke of Huguo and his wife. He just didn't want to see the royal bloodline being mixed up, which was against etiquette and law.

Prince Consort Xiao was so bold that he even brought his concubine's son into the princess's mansion and let him enjoy royal treatment, which was simply a contempt for the imperial power.

Now that we have met, we must uncover the truth. The royal family cannot continue to be deceived and played around like fools.

Yang and Zhenzhu returned to the women's group and sat down to chat with some familiar ladies.

Chu Zhinan held his daughter and took the prince to the man's side to chat with him, and also greeted Prince Xiao and Prince Xiao's father and son.

Not long after, Prince Consort Xiao's chief attendant whispered something in his ear. Surprise flashed in his eyes. He told the guest that he had something to say and left.

Chu Xiaoxiao was a smart little girl. She stared straight at the direction where Prince Xiao left, without blinking, until he could no longer see her and then she withdrew her gaze.

The prince looked at her and laughed, teasing her: "Sister Xiaoxiao! What are you looking at?"

Chu Zhinan subconsciously glanced in the direction where Prince Consort Xiao disappeared, with a malicious smile on his lips.

He knew what his daughter was watching. She must be watching Prince Consort Xiao doing something bad secretly.

"ah!"

Chu Xiaoxiao agreed and raised her hand to point in the direction where Prince Consort Xiao left.

[Don't you know everything? Why are you still asking? You called everyone here, didn't you? ]

Li Sizu lowered his head and smiled, but said nothing. He had already given instructions, and the show would begin soon.

Princess Qingyuan stood not far away, staring at Chu Zhinan infatuatedly. She originally wanted to have a drink with him, but her husband and son were there, so she got scared.

After all, you have to save some face.

Seeing that the husband had left, Princess Qingyuan didn't care and continued to look at Chu Zhinan's tall and slender figure. This man could be said to be the best man in Dongshengjing City. He didn't like Yang, but he hadn't taken a concubine for so many years.

Even when he was stationed at the border, he did not find a concubine outside and just endured the hardship alone.

How could she have missed such a good man back then?

Why is she so proud? For her own happiness, she can really abandon her status as a princess. Few women in the royal family live a happy life. Like her, they all look glamorous on the outside, but empty and lonely on the inside.

After watching for a while, she felt bored. She had just been scolded so harshly by Chu Zhinan, why was she still obsessed with him?

Let's go back and entertain the guests! We have another important thing to do today.

Her son is not young anymore, so he needs to find a marriage quickly.

Her son had his eyes on the daughter of the Marquis of Anguo, but she was born with a mean look, so she didn't like her. She liked the second daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, who was gentle, virtuous, dignified and elegant, and a perfect match for her son.

However, the Dingyuan Marquis family is poor and not as wealthy as the Anguo Marquis family. If he marries her, he may not be able to help the Xiao family in the future.

If he marries the daughter of the Anguo Marquis family, with a generous dowry, she could be of some help.

Princess Qingyuan was walking and thinking at the same time, when a palace maid caught up with her and handed her a note.

"Princess! A guard stuffed a piece of paper into my hand. I don't know what it is, but I was told to give it to you immediately."

"oh?"

He took the note casually, opened it, and saw only a few words on it: Come to Penglai Courtyard as soon as possible, there will be a good show.

"Penglaiyuan?"

Princess Qingyuan groaned and finally remembered that the place was where her son practiced archery. What was she going there for? Was it her son who was looking for her?

Thinking of this, Princess Qingyuan stuffed the note into her sleeve, turned around and walked towards Penglai Courtyard.

Chu Xiaoxiao saw it and patted Chu Zhinan on the shoulder. Chu Zhinan looked at her and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you thirsty? Or do you need to pee?"

[No! Hurry up and follow Princess Qingyuan, let’s go watch the show! ]

Chu Zhinan: “…”

Watching a play? Why should a grown man like me watch a play? You should ask your mother to take you there.

The prince seemed to see Chu Zhinan's concerns and reached out to hug Chu Xiaoxiao: "Sister Xiaoxiao! Brother will take you out to play, okay?"

“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

Chu Xiaoxiao opened her arms and immediately asked Li Sizu to hug her. Chu Zhinan had no choice but to give his daughter to him: "Okay, okay, let the prince take you out to play."

Chu Xiaoxiao was so happy that she was cheering inwardly.

[Ahaha! Eating melons and watching the show is so exciting, I really came today. ]
