Nan Xing said seriously, "Yes, I thought he was good-looking, and I happened to be in need of a husband, so I took him home."

Chu Jingyue couldn't help but burst into laughter, almost crying. It took him a while to recover and said, "You picked him up and asked him to be your husband. Why didn't he kill you?"

"He was reluctant at first. I know he felt he wasn't good enough for me. He looked so frail and weak, unable to carry anything. He was just an old bachelor in our village. But I didn't despise him. After all, he's quite good-looking. I'm strong and can do all the heavy work."

Chu Jingyue laughed again. After laughing, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know who he is?"

Nan Xing blinked and said innocently, "I know. It's the King of Jin. I hear them shouting that every day."

"You can't be his princess with your status."

Nan Xing listened and lowered her voice, saying indifferently, "I don't really want to be his princess either. There are too many rules in his house. This is not allowed, that is not allowed. No wonder he is always so bored."

Chu Jingyue looked at her with a half-smile, "So you want to run away?"

Nan Xing nodded without hesitation, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes: "I just want to go home."

Chu Jingyue's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the bundle she was holding tightly, and asked, "You brought a lot of things, didn't you?"

Nanxing hugged the bundle tighter and said vigilantly, "These things are all mine."

"Where is your home? I'll take you back."

Nan Xing looked puzzled and asked, "You want to leave too?"

"Yeah, it's so boring here, let's keep each other company."

Nan Xing tilted her head, looked Chu Jingyue up and down, frowned and said with disdain: "But I don't want to be with you."

Chu Jingyue said, "How could you have escaped without me? This is definitely not the first time you've sneaked away. Were you caught by the King of Jin?"

Nanxing nodded frequently.

Chu Jingyue raised the corners of his mouth and said proudly, "I have a way to lure away his guards."

Nan Xing's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, I'll take you with me."

The two men were secretly planning outside the tent, unaware that their every move was being watched by the secret guards in the dark.

The secret guard came quietly to Chu Jingxun and respectfully reported their plan.

After hearing this, Chu Jingxun just nodded slightly, "Well, you guys play with her for a while."

——

"Nandie requests to see Princess Su." Ye Nandie's gentle voice came from outside the door.

Chen Jingxi frowned. Last night she already knew why Ye Nandie came back with Chu Jinghuai. To be honest, she really didn't like Ye Nandie. This feeling was like a fishbone stuck in her throat, which she couldn't spit out or swallow.

He thought for a while, then said, "Please ask Madam Ouyang to come in."

After getting Chen Jingxi's consent, the guard at the door slowly moved aside and let Ye Nandie in.

When Ye Nandie entered the study, she immediately saw Chen Jingxi sitting behind the desk. She was looking at the memorial in her hand, not even bothering to glance at her.

Ye Nandie couldn't understand why Chen Jingxi, as a princess who was also pregnant, had to worry about all these complicated mundane matters. In her opinion, this didn't seem like a pampered princess at all, but more like a housekeeper who managed trivial matters.

Chen Jingxi slowly read the memorial in her hand, then slowly raised her head and said, "Madam Ouyang, do you have anything to ask me?"

Ye Nandie's eyes lightly swept over Han Yu who was standing beside her, "Nandie has something she wants to talk to the princess privately."

"Han Yu is my princess's right-hand man. She is loyal to the prince and me. Madam Ouyang doesn't need to avoid her when she says anything."

Seeing Chen Jingxi's disrespect for her, Ye Nandie was furious. She pondered the matter for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Princess, don't you want to know why the prince brought me back this time?"

Chen Jingxi raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "The prince told me everything."

Ye Nandie's body trembled involuntarily, and her voice was a little flustered: "What did he say?"

"He told me everything. Why were you in the Beizhao camp? Why didn't he kill you and bring you back?"

"You..." Ye Nandie's face turned pale and blue, as if she had been stripped naked and all her secrets were turned upside down, leaving her with no privacy at all.

After a long while, she forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and said to Chen Jingxi: "Since the princess knows everything, I will tell you the truth. I came here today to ask you something."

"Mrs. Ouyang, please speak."

"I want to give Jingli and my child an identity. He is of royal blood after all, and I can't let people say he is a bastard."

After hearing this, Chen Jingxi couldn't help but sneer, as if it was her fault that the child was an illegitimate child for so many years.

"Jingli has been gone for so many years, I'm afraid no one will believe that he is Jingli's child. I want to register the child under Jinghuai's name, and I hope the princess will agree."

Chen Jingxi's face instantly turned cold, "Mrs. Ouyang really has a good plan."

Ye Nandie bit her lip and said anxiously, "Just because Jingli saved Jinghuai's life, please have pity on that child."

"Weren't you responsible for his misfortune?"

Ye Nandie's eyes flashed with anger, and she raised her voice and said, "How can you be so cruel? You have already received Jing Huai's love, why can't you even tolerate a child?"
