That night, Chu Jinghuai finally finished reading the book "Handbook on Identifying Dead Green Tea" and wrote a 500-word review. He went to Lixiangyuan in a good mood.

When he arrived at Lixiang Courtyard, he found the gate closed. Without thinking too much, for fear of disturbing Chen Jingxi, he didn't ask anyone to open the door, but simply climbed over the wall to get in.

After climbing over the wall, he saw that the whole yard was dark and he couldn't help feeling confused.

Is she still angry? That shouldn't be the case. I didn't do anything.

When he approached, Han Yu handed him the rolled-up bedding and said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, the princess said that from today on, you are not allowed to enter her room."

Chu Jinghuai's mouth twitched slightly. Since ancient times, there have been many fierce women, but he had never heard of such a situation where a woman directly rejected her husband and even told him to pack up and leave. Not to mention that he was a first-rank prince of the current dynasty.

He thought for a moment and said, "Princess, please open the door and let me in."

Han Yu suppressed his laughter and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the princess said that it's useless for you to be shameless. Or you can choose to use force, but you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

He paused, put down his hand, and said, "What are you angry about? Tell me and I will help you vent your anger."

Han Yu couldn't bear to look at the humble prince, but she still followed Chen Jingxi's instructions and continued, "Prince, the princess said, don't blame others for your mistakes, look for the reasons within yourself. Is it because of what you did or said that made them pester you? It takes two to tango. Also, don't yell outside her door, or you won't be allowed to enter this courtyard."

This time, His Royal Highness Prince Su chose to keep his mouth shut, for he was afraid that he would be kicked out of the yard in the next second.

So, His Royal Highness Prince Su stood silently for a while, and finally packed up his bedding and left.

Chen Jingxi, who was in the house, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the people outside leave.

She knew that Chu Jinghuai would come, so she specifically instructed Han Yu to drive him away if he came.

But she didn't expect Chu Jinghuai to be so obedient. But it was better this way, so that she wouldn't be upset when she saw that face.

Chen Jingxi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She was thinking about Chu Jingli, Chu Jinghuai, Ye Nandie, and the love triangle.

Chu Jingli likes Ye Nandie, Ye Nandie likes Chu Jinghuai, and Chu Jinghuai is Chu Jingli's brother.

Then Chu Jingli died for some reason. She asked Han Yu, but Han Yu was vague. However, Chen Jingxi still heard that Chu Jingli died for treason.

In the end, Chu Jingli died, and before his death he asked Chu Jinghuai to take care of Ye Nandie.

The reason why Chu Jinghuai hates Ye Nandie so much is because Chu Jingli’s death is related to Ye Nandie.

So the reason why Chu Jinghuai participated in the martial arts competition to win a bride might be because of Chu Jingli, and it turned out that Chu Jinghuai was a brother-con.

After all this time, she must be jealous of Chu Jingli.

…

What happened last night had already spread throughout the Prince Su’s Mansion.

Someone murmured, "I heard that the prince was kicked out of bed by the princess last night, and his bedding was thrown out with him."

Another person continued, "Not only that! I heard that the prince begged the princess for a long time at the door, but the princess didn't even respond to him."

At this time, another person stood up and said, "Princess, you are really something. The prince is a man after all. You should at least give him some face."

As he said this, everyone stood aside and looked at him in surprise. They all stood on the side of the princess and always supported her decisions.

The man continued, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong? The prince is so cowardly now. If one day the princess comes to her senses and doesn't want the prince anymore, I don't think you will have anywhere to cry."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. The princess was truly capable of abandoning the prince. After all, they all knew the princess's temperament and determination.

Another person spoke up, "Although Your Highness will be released from confinement in a few days, without military power he is like a tiger without teeth. Now that the world is at peace and there are no wars to fight, an idle prince is worse than a ninth-rank official."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. The prince's current situation was indeed embarrassing.

"I don't know what the prince did to make the princess so angry." Finally, someone boldly pointed out the crux of the problem.

"I guess it was because the prince said yesterday that the princess's clothes were not good-looking."

"No, I think it was yesterday's breakfast. The prince ate the last piece of chestnut cake, and the princess glared at him."

"You are too narrow-minded. Can the princess be angry with the prince over a piece of clothing or a piece of cake?"

Everyone rolled their eyes at him. If the princess could pinch the prince's neck and make him spit out a chicken leg, what was wrong with that?

"I mean, maybe something happened yesterday that was even bigger than what you're talking about..."

They were talking animatedly when they suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind them.

The visitor shouted sternly, "Are you all going to die? How dare you discuss the private affairs of the prince and princess?"

When they heard the voice, they knew who was coming and everyone's heart tightened.

Their faces turned pale, they turned around and knelt, saying, "Lord Lingying, we were wrong. Please spare our lives, Lord Lingying! We will never dare to do it again."

Ling Ying coughed lightly and said, "Why are you so scared? I won't do anything to you. What were you talking about just now? Tell me. I'm going out on a mission. Don't miss anything exciting."

Everyone: “…”
