Chen Jingshu placed her hands on Yan Shaoheng's neck, and her soft lips pressed against the man's slightly cool lips.

Yan Shaoheng froze. He seemed to have heard something: she said she was willing, she was willing to give herself to him...

Seeing that Yan Shaoheng had stopped moving, Chen Jingshu assumed that he had lost interest because she had interrupted him.

Before she got married, her mother and nanny had taught her some things to do in bed, and they especially said that she should not spoil a man's interest in such matters, otherwise it would be difficult to get him to come to her room again.

Chen Jingshu felt a little regretful. Had she really spoiled his mood?

Just as Chen Jingshu was about to leave, Yan Shaoheng grabbed the back of her head and, in that same position, gave her a deep kiss. Chen Jingshu's head gradually became dizzy, and she slowly lay down on the bed.

"Hmm... Second Prince, it hurts..."

Yan Shaoheng whispered in Chen Jingshu's ear, "It won't hurt in a little while."

The two were entwined in passion, completely oblivious to the growing chill of the late night...

Zhang Yaoyuan always felt that it was strange for the second prince of Yan to go fishing at this time, so he called his attendants again.

"Take this token and go to the north gate to check the direction of the moat. See if the Second Prince of Yan is still fishing. Then come back and report to me. Remember, you must not reveal your whereabouts."

"Yes, sir."

The attendant quietly arrived at the north gate of the city, flashed the token given to him by Zhang Yaoyuan, and went up to the city wall. At the northeast corner of the city wall, he could clearly see a man dressed in white fishing by the river, with a lantern hanging beside him.

Thank you, farewell.

After saying goodbye to the attendant and guards, he left and returned to the Minister's residence, where he went to Zhang Yaoyuan's study.

"Reporting to my lord, I did indeed see a man in white fishing. The candlelight was dim, and only his back was visible, so I couldn't tell if it was the Second Prince of Yan. However, I asked the guards at the city gate, and they didn't see the Second Prince of Yan leave. Moreover, I vaguely saw that there seemed to be quite a few fish in the fish trap next to him."

Although it was impossible to tell whether he was the second prince of Yan, the city gate guards had not seen him leave, so it could only be him. After all, once you leave the north gate, there is the moat, and to the east is the moat mountain, with cliffs and precipices everywhere. Even if he were to fly out, he would not be able to.

What Zhang Yaoyuan didn't know was that Yan Shaoheng had already flown away today, and more than 20 years later, two young people were competing on this showy cliff.

Yan Shaoheng gently brushed the stray hairs off Chen Jingshu's face. The sticky feeling on her body after exercising made Chen Jingshu very uncomfortable.

"It's all your fault. You made me all sticky, and I can't even take a bath in this porridge shop. It's all your fault."

As she spoke, Chen Jingshu pounded Yan Shaoheng's chest with her small fists.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I was too rough the first time and hurt Jing Shu, and made her sweat all over. I'll have Qiu'er bring you a basin of hot water, and I'll wipe you down myself."

The word 'personally' was emphasized particularly heavily by Yan Shaoheng.

"Hate!"

After Yan Shaoheng put on his clothes, he knocked on the door, and Qiu'er, who had been waiting outside, immediately pushed the door open and came in.

"You're quite clever. Serve Jing Shu well in the future, and I will reward you handsomely. Go and bring me a basin of hot water."

"Yes, Second Prince."

Qiu'er was sold to the Chen family when she was young. She had only one thought in her life: to make money so that she would have money to buy some property when she got old. Therefore, rewards were the most direct thing for her.

Once she had saved enough, she planned to leave and return to her hometown to live out her days in peace. Unfortunately, she was too naive. Knowing their secret, how could she possibly leave so easily?

One could live in the palace for a lifetime.

Soon, Qiu'er brought over a basin of hot water. Yan Shaoheng took it and then asked Qiu'er to leave.

As Yan Shaoheng wiped Chen Jingshu clean, he tried his best to restrain himself. He knew that today was Jingshu's first time, and what he had just done was her limit.

After quickly wiping her down, Yan Shaoheng lay down next to Chen Jingshu again, and Chen Jingshu quietly leaned on Yan Shaoheng's shoulder.

"How did you know there was a secret passage here? And you even told me to open the door to the secret passage so early. Moreover, I feel like you know the layout of the capital city better than I do, a native of Yue Kingdom."

Chen Jingshu asked the question that had always been curious about her: This was clearly Yan Shaoheng's first time in Yue Kingdom, so how could he be so familiar with the capital, and what about the secret passage of this porridge shop?

She guessed that even her father, or even the emperor, might not know the secret of this porridge shop.

"Want to know?"

"Yes." Chen Jingshu nodded emphatically.

"I won't tell you." Yan Shaoheng flicked Chen Jingshu's nose, intentionally teasing her.

"Ah~ Second Prince, please tell me~ please tell me~ please tell me~ Jing Shu wants to know~"

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you now. No one knows this secret anymore. Jing Shu, you must keep this secret for me."

"good."

"There are two doors to this secret passage. One is the one you opened from the outside, and the other is the one I opened from the outside. Both doors must be opened for the passage to be open. So, before I left the state guesthouse, I secretly sent you a letter via a mechanical bird, instructing you to open that stone door as soon as possible. If you ask why I am so familiar with the Moon Kingdom, this is actually not my first time here. It should be considered my second time. I came here a long, long time ago, but at that time I did not come as the Second Prince of Yan."

Hearing this, Chen Jingshu became even more curious, not expecting that Yan Shaoheng had so many secrets.

"Huh? Not the Second Prince of Yan? Then what is his identity?"

"Since Jing Shu wants to know, then I will tell Jing Shu a story."

Yan Shaoheng tucked the blanket around Chen Jingshu and was about to tell her the story that had been buried deep in his heart for many years when he heard a sound of even breathing.

"Looks like he's really exhausted."

Yan Shaoheng stayed quietly with Chen Jingshu for a long time before reluctantly leaving the porridge shop through the secret passage.

They returned the way they came and used their light-footed skills to fly down the cliff.

When Yan Shaoheng returned, he saw that Cheng Ying indeed had a talent for fishing, having already caught half a bucket of fish that night.

"Master, you're back?"

"Hmm, is there anything unusual?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual. I have been fishing here and there without any disturbance."

"That's good. The city gates will be opening soon. Let's tidy up here and go back. We'll come back later."

"Yes, Master."

After the master and servant returned to the state guesthouse, Yan Shaoheng asked Cheng Ying to take the fish he had caught that night to the kitchen. He cooked a few for himself and distributed the rest to the guests at the state guesthouse.

After finishing his meal, Yan Shaoheng asked Cheng Ying to prepare a tub of hot water for him. After taking a hot bath, he went to rest.
