The young master leaned boredly in Han Xiao's arms and started to play with Han Xiao's hair. When could he go back? He missed Chaochao a little.

The young master opened his eyes wide and asked Han Xiao when they could go back. Han Xiao chuckled and tapped the young master's nose: "What? Feeling bored?"

"Well, I miss Chao Chao. How about we sneak away secretly..." The young master's eyes rolled around and he made a gesture of walking out with his fingers.

Han Xiao quickly held the young master's hand. It would be bad if the emperor saw it. Although the emperor loved the young master very much, he would not allow him to be so bold and disrespectful.

"Don't be anxious, wait a little longer, we can go back when the third brother comes back."

"Well, when will my brother come back?" The young master rubbed the little fox's ears angrily.

The little fox had just eaten and was very tolerant of the young master. He didn't get angry when being rubbed. He licked the young master's fingers and continued to sleep in his arms.

At this time, the Fourth Princess stood up shakily. Concubine Li was startled and quickly stepped forward to support her: "What's wrong with Jingyu? Are you feeling unwell?"

The Fourth Princess pushed Concubine Li away, looked around the tent with a confused look, and then locked her eyes on Han Xiao.

Han Xiao was talking to the young master with his head down, and the two of them were happily petting the fox.

Feeling the gaze of the Fourth Princess, Han Xiao instinctively felt something was wrong.

Empress Zhang also asked with great interest, "Li Guifei, what happened to Jingyu?"

Concubine Li often had conflicts with Empress Zhang, and when she heard her ask this question, she knew that there was no good intention in the weasel paying a New Year's visit to the chicken.

She immediately said calmly: "It's okay, he probably drank too much. Your Majesty, I will send Jingyu back to rest."

The emperor saw that the fourth princess was not in a good state and said, "Go back. Later, ask Dexi to bring a bowl of hangover soup. Why did you drink so much when you were fine?"

Concubine Li smiled bitterly to herself. "Why do you drink so much? Don't you really know? If you didn't dote on his child so much, her daughter wouldn't be like this."

But Concubine Li also knew that she could not change the emperor's mind, so she could only help the fourth princess go back first.

When she walked to Han Xiao's side, the Fourth Princess stopped moving. Concubine Li immediately became very anxious, fearing that the Fourth Princess would do something. Now she regretted it very much and should not have let the Fourth Princess drink so much.

The Fourth Princess walked in front of Han Xiao despite Concubine Li's obstruction, and for a moment no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Han Xiao subconsciously pulled the young master behind him. The Fourth Princess was even more upset when she saw this. Her eyes were red and she choked up and said, "Are you so afraid of what I might do to him?"

The fourth princess pointed at the young master and said, the young master was frightened by Han Xiao's actions, and when he saw the fourth princess standing in front of him, he obediently shrank behind Han Xiao.

"Fourth Princess, please respect yourself." Han Xiao said coldly.

Concubine Li was extremely anxious. Empress Zhang, who was watching from afar, thought it was a good show and quickly gave a look to the nanny beside her.

On the surface, he was helping Concubine Li to support the Fourth Princess, but in fact he was stopping Concubine Li from touching the Fourth Princess.

Now the Fourth Princess had no resistance at all. She swayed her body and walked to Han Xiao, with her hands on the table, facing Han Xiao.

The distance was very close, so Han Xiao quickly dragged his chair back to create some distance between him and the Fourth Princess.

"Self-respect? How can you expect me to respect myself? You're so far away from me. Do you think I'm not worthy of you?"

Han Xiao was overwhelmed by what he heard and hurried to comfort the young master behind him. Sure enough, the young master looked at Han Xiao in disbelief when he heard what the fourth princess said.

His big eyes were full of accusations. Han Xiao had no way to defend himself and could only ask the emperor for help.

He is just a small and powerless marquis. As the emperor, shouldn't you deal with this matter quickly?

The emperor's face darkened the moment the Fourth Princess stood next to Han Xiao, and it became even uglier when he heard what the Fourth Princess said.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take the Fourth Princess back."

Concubine Li also ignored the rules and pushed the nanny away. She stepped forward and hugged the fourth princess, saying in a trembling voice: "Jingyu, you've drunk too much. Stop making trouble and let's go back."

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Princess pushed Concubine Li away with such force that she fell to the ground.

"I'm not drunk, and I'm not making a fuss. Today I just want to know, Han Xiao, whether you want to marry me or not."

After the Fourth Princess finished speaking, tears fell from her eyes. She looked at Han Xiao with hope, hoping to see the answer she wanted to see on Han Xiao's face.

But Han Xiao's face was full of coldness. He was extremely annoyed by the Fourth Princess's unreasonable behavior.

Standing up and holding the young master's hand, Han Xiao stared into the Fourth Princess' eyes with great seriousness: "Fourth Princess, I don't know what I did to cause you to misunderstand me, but now, in front of His Majesty, I, Han Xiao, swear to marry only Ruan Zhu in this life. If I disobey, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Han Xiao's words struck the Fourth Princess like thunder: "You...are you so cruel? I just want to know why. Am I not as good as him?"

The fourth princess pointed at the young master with a trembling finger.

No matter how good the young master's temper was, he was about to explode. He stood out from behind Han Xiao, stomping his feet angrily.

Standing fiercely in front of the Fourth Princess, he put his hands on his hips and said viciously, "Fourth Princess, didn't you hear clearly? My husband said he only loves me. What can you compare with me?"

Han Xiao had never seen the young master so aggressive before. His mood, which had just been annoyed by the Fourth Princess's nagging, immediately turned cloudy when he heard what the young master said.

"What can I compare? I'm the princess of Jiang State, and you're just a bastard of unknown origin..."

As soon as the Fourth Princess finished speaking, Concubine Li's face turned even paler, and she quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Jingyu didn't mean it. She was drunk..."

"Enough!" The emperor stood up from the dragon throne angrily.

Looking at the Fourth Princess coldly, if the Emperor had any sympathy for her just now, it had now been completely worn away.

"Bastard? Who are you calling a bastard?"

The emperor's voice was cold and emotionless, and the entire tent suddenly fell silent.

Dexi had asked all irrelevant personnel to leave when the fourth princess started to get drunk, thus saving the royal family's reputation.

But the situation is not much better now. The emperor's voice is quite loud, and I guess people outside can hear it.

The Fourth Princess regretted her words the moment she spoke them. She was not actually drunk, just a little dizzy, and she wanted to get the answer from Han Xiao under the influence of alcohol.

She didn't expect things to turn out like this.
