Jiang Xuanyan laughed angrily.

"Chen Ningzhu, did I ask you to get up?"

"Also, Plum Fragrance Garden is right next to us, and you dared to make me wait for an entire hour? What? Are you a turtle? Did you crawl all the way here?"

Two cowards who use others as shields and fig leaves, still have the nerve to call her a turtle?

Ugh—

Forget it, take a deep breath, inhale, exhale.

Chen Ningzhu secretly told herself in her heart, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, this scumbag is not worth it.

"What does your highness want to call me for?"

Jiang Xuanyan didn't intend to argue with her, so he changed the subject.

"I heard that you had a conflict with Princess Qingyi today. Is that true?"

It turned out that he was standing up for Bai Yueguang. Haha, it’s hard for him, he is so fast.

"right."

"Do you have anything to say?"

“No.”

Jiang Xuanyan frowned, feeling a little annoyed by her dead pig-like appearance. He held his forehead and sighed softly, pursed his thin lips, and spoke carefully.

"It's just a courtyard. There are several courtyards of the same layout in the Prince's Mansion. Why are you..."

"I'm a nostalgic person. The housekeeper told me that this was the yard assigned to me. And since it's so hot, and I've already walked right up to it, I don't want to move any more."

Chen Ningzhu raised her head and looked at him, her eyes like the bright moonlight, bright, distant, and cold.

Full of seriousness and stubbornness.

It was the first time Jiang Xuanyan saw her so strong, and he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Your Highness, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll go back first." Chen Ningzhu said lightly.

Damn scumbag, no matter how handsome he is, she will find him annoying if he looks at her for even one more moment.

Having just moved into a new yard, she had to personally oversee it and arrange it all to her liking.

Although she has no plans to stay for a long time, life requires a sense of ritual. Even if she only stays for one day, she hopes that every aspect can be as she likes.

Anyway, she's not the one paying, so there's no need to compromise.

Jiang Xuanyan really didn't like her tone and attitude, and couldn't help but frowned.

"No rush. I want to discuss with you about your position." Last time, we had already calculated an auspicious day, but something happened and delayed it, so it was not done.

The Shen family father and son pressed him hard, so he could only bring the person into the house first and then look for another auspicious day.

Shen Ningzhu sneered in her heart.

Everyone says that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a man of integrity and has never been close to women for many years.

It turns out that he is not interested in women only because he is deeply in love with Jiang Qingyi. He has not married, taken concubines, or taken maids for many years. He is also keeping his virginity for her, right?

Now, in order to pave the way for Princess Qingyi, he is willing to humble himself and take her, the person he hates the most, into his mansion.

Such deep affection is really touching.

One is the crown prince, the other is a newly widowed woman. I have to say, these two people are really playing around.

But what does all this have to do with her?

They love each other so much, why should they use an innocent person like her as a stepping stone?

She's already so unlucky that she's lost her innocence, yet you still won't let her go. Don't you just grab the sheep and fleece them?

"Your Highness, I've said before that I, Chen Ningzhu, would never be a concubine even if I die. But don't worry, I can stay in the mansion and help you."

Jiang Xuanyan:? ? ?

"Help...us?"

What does he need her help with?

You? Who else besides him? "What do you mean by that? Also, Chen Ningzhu, stop messing around. No matter what, you need a formal status to gain a foothold in the mansion."

"How can you follow me with no status and no reputation? I am not such an irresponsible person."

Shen Ningzhu quickly reached out.

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness is the most responsible, the most responsible in the world. It's me who is irresponsible, I find it troublesome, and I don't want a position, really."

Why that extra procedure?

It can't be spent as money, and it also affects her pace and speed towards freedom.

Jiang Xuanyan:......

After saying that, he knelt down to Jiang Xuanyan again, turned around and left neatly.

When he reached the door, he stopped again.

"Oh, by the way, during the time I've been at your house, your Highness shouldn't have shortchanged me on food, clothing, and my monthly allowance, right?"

After all, if you want the horse to run, you have to give it some grass to eat. A prince like you, even a little leakage through the gaps between his fingers would be more than this.

"Of course, I'm not so incapable of supporting a little girl like you."

His thin lips moved, wanting to tell her that he would try his best to arrange the status, but then he thought, since it was something that had no future, he decided not to tell her for the time being, so as not to give her hope and then disappoint her.

Shen Ningzhu breathed a sigh of relief, that's good.

"Don't worry, I will stay in my own yard and never go out. As long as you control your woman and tell her not to cause trouble for me, I will not take the initiative to cause trouble for you. If possible, I just hope that after you accomplish your goal, you can set me free."

Jiang Xuanyan didn't think much about the word "his woman", thinking she was talking about his future Crown Princess.

All he could think about now was letting her go free.

Was she being upset again because he couldn't give her the position of Crown Princess? "Regarding the matter of position, I actually..."

"No, you really don't need to worry about it. I really don't care and I don't want it. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

This time he moved quickly and left without any regrets.

The room fell silent. After a long while, Jiang Xuanyan returned to his seat and stared blankly at the document in front of him.

"Jiang Yi."

"I'm here."

Jiang Yi quickly appeared and knelt on one knee to salute him. Jiang Xuanyan waved his hand to signal him to stand up, then frowned and said:

"You saw what she just said, didn't you?"

Jiang nodded, "Yes."

“Have you noticed that Chen Ningzhu’s attitude towards me seems to have changed, become… strange?”

Jiang Yi continued to nod.

"Why?" But did pushing her into the water today hurt her feelings?

But he had kicked her away several times before, seriously injuring her, but that didn't stop her from getting closer to him!

This was also the reason why he had allowed Shen Ningzhu to chase him for three years. She wouldn't listen to his scolding, and she wouldn't leave him even if he beat her. Even if he killed her, her crime didn't deserve the death penalty.

Jiang Yi rolled her eyes inwardly. Why else could it be? Of course, she was throwing a tantrum because she couldn't become the Crown Princess.

“Your Highness, Miss Shen has always been very ambitious. If she can’t be the legal wife, she will definitely not accept it.”

For some reason, Jiang Xuanyan felt irritated.

Although he knew in his heart that he would do his best to plan for her, but seeing that she cared so much, he felt a little uncomfortable and grumbled secretly,

"Is the title of Crown Princess so important?"

Didn't she say that she loved me, was willing to give everything for me, and that she would be content even if it meant being my slave as long as I could be with her?

Jiang Yi's mouth twitched.

What's wrong with his wise and brave Crown Prince? He is usually so smart, why is he so stupid today?
