Back in her room, Zhu Wanqing grew angrier the more she thought about it. She had been completely devoted to the Fourteenth Prince, yet now his wife had slapped her and called her a shameless woman.

What displeased her even more was Fourteen's attitude.

Zhu Wanqing believed that she and the Fourteenth Prince were mutually in love, and if it weren't for her status, she would have become the Fourteenth Prince's woman long ago. Now, she could have easily avoided the slap from the Fourteenth Prince's wife, but she still did. If only she had killed that arrogant former princess with a single blow back then.

Zhu Wanqing suddenly felt a pang of regret. Taking advantage of the chaos to abduct Wanyan and say those words to her—now, she realized how incredibly foolish she had been. If she had killed her then, perhaps the Fourteenth Prince would have been hers.

Zhu Wanqing was very unwilling, but suddenly a bold idea flashed through her mind: if something really happened between her and Fourteenth Prince, and she became his woman without any problem, no one would dare to say anything.

Yinxiang, Zhu Wanqing's personal bodyguard, entered and, seeing her displeased expression, asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Zhu Wanqing glanced at Yinxiang, as if making a decision in her heart, and asked, "Where is Wanyan now? What about the Fourteenth Prince?"

The maid bowed and answered truthfully, "The Princess Consort has already rested; the Prince is alone in his study!"

Zhu Wanqing thought for a moment and then instructed, "Since the Fourteenth Prince's wife arrived, he originally planned to have lunch with me. But I'm afraid he hasn't eaten yet. Go and prepare some wine and dishes, and I'll send them to him..."

Yinxiang understood immediately upon seeing Zhu Wanqing's expression and withdrew.

A moment later, Zhu Wanqing returned with a black tray, on which lay three exquisite dishes, a pot of wine, and two wine glasses.

Zhu Wanqing stood at the door of the Fourteenth Study, hesitated for a moment, then knocked and went in.

Fourteen didn't expect Zhu Wanqing to come again. Thinking that Zhu Wanqing had indeed suffered some grievances before, he said, "Wanqing, are you alright? She'll go back after she calms down from her tantrum, so don't worry about it."

Zhu Wanqing covered Fourteenth Prince's mouth with her hand and nodded shyly: "I understand, Yinzhen. As long as it's for your own good, Wanqing can endure it!"

Fourteen looked at Zhu Wanqing's lowered eyelashes and rosy cheeks and found them very cute. After spending time with her, he couldn't help but be moved. After Wanyan's commotion, he felt a little guilty towards her.

"Yinzhen, this is what I ordered the kitchen to make. I wanted to have a drink with you," Zhu Wanqing said. "The Fourteenth Princess Consort came suddenly, and I feel uneasy because I think someone must have said something to her."

Fourteenth Prince had just persuaded Wanyan Shi before sending people to settle her and the people she brought with her.

"After her fuss, we really didn't eat." Seeing how magnanimous Zhu Wanqing was, and that she hadn't even apologized yet, but instead came over to persuade him, Fourteen felt even more wronged and didn't refuse anymore.

The two sat facing each other. The Fourteenth Prince personally poured Zhu Wanqing a glass of wine, and also poured one for himself. They both drank it down in one gulp.

Before long, he became dizzy and suddenly felt hot all over. Everything was blurry, but Zhu Wanqing's face became exceptionally clear.

"Wanqing, what's wrong with this wine?" Fourteen asked, rubbing his forehead.

"Yinzhen, let me help you to that couch over there to rest for a while." Zhu Wanqing walked to the Fourteenth Prince's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and then helped him to a couch at the back of the study.

After lying down, Zhu Wanqing began to unbutton her clothes...
