"Miss, Miss, Wang is looking for you. Would you like to see her?"

Normally, Jiang Jingyue would have rushed out as soon as she heard that Prince Cheng was looking for her. However, this time, she hesitated for a while in the courtyard before slowly walking out.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw the man standing there with a frown, pacing back and forth as if he were in a hurry.

Seeing her anxious expression, Jiang Jingyue became less anxious and waited for a while before slowly walking over there.

The people over there have been waiting for quite some time, and they're getting impatient.

When he saw Jiang Jingyue, he looked at him angrily and asked.

"Xiaoyue, what are you doing? Why are you out so late today? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"

Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but find it amusing to see him so angry.

He only came here so early today because the matter was quite important. Otherwise, the original owner would usually wait for him, sometimes for an hour.

However, the original owner never complained. She felt that Zhan Chengde was the person she liked, so waiting a little while was nothing.

However, now that the person in charge is Jiang Jingyue, she will no longer indulge the person in front of her.

So when Jiang Jingyue saw his angry expression, she couldn't help but retaliate.

“Your Highness, you can’t even wait this short while? I used to wait for an hour.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Chengde choked, unable to continue speaking.

"Xiao Yue, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking to me like this? You weren't like this before. The way you are now makes me very uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but laugh.

“Your Highness, this is just the kind of person I am. If Your Highness does not like me, you don’t have to look for me.”

Zhan Chengde didn't know what was going on, but he felt that Jiang Jingyue was acting strangely today. However, he didn't think too much about it. He thought that Jiang Jingyue might have been misled by something, which was why she was acting this way.

"Xiaoyue, did someone say something to you? I told you long ago, no matter what others say, you must not believe them. You only need to believe what I say."

To figure out what he was up to, Jiang Jingyue nodded in front of him.

"Okay, Prince Cheng, I'll listen to you. Is there something you need from me, Prince Cheng?"

Prince Cheng must have come here on important business; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to see Jiang Jingyue in person.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking to Jiang Jingyue.

"Xiaoyue, go and befriend the Regent Prince. Marry him! But don't worry, as long as you don't let him touch you, he won't be able to have children."

"Father has said that whoever gives birth first will inherit the throne. Therefore, we must restrain him and prevent him from having the child first. So, Xiaoyue, only you can help me with this."

When Jiang Jingyue heard him say that, she already understood his purpose.

The idea was to marry her off to the regent, and then prevent him from touching her, so that there would never be any children in the regent's palace.

All he needs to do is get another woman pregnant first.

The thought of this made Prince Cheng quite excited.

"Xiao Yue, you must handle this matter well. When I become emperor, you will definitely be my imperial concubine, won't you?"

If it were the Jiang Jingyue of the past, she would have readily agreed upon hearing this, and would have been very happy.

However, the current Jiang Jingyue is no longer the same person she used to be.

When she heard Zhan Chengde say that, she looked at him with some disdain.

“Your Highness, I cannot agree to this. If I am found out, I will surely die.”

When Prince Cheng heard that she refused, he was taken aback.

He probably didn't expect that Jiang Jingyue would disagree with what he said!

After all, in the past, no matter what he said, the woman in front of him would never refuse him.

Therefore, he believed that Jiang Jingyue was definitely joking.

"Xiaoyue, stop joking. If you handle this matter well, I will come to see you often."

Alright, I won't say any more to you. You must handle this matter well; I await your good news.

After saying this, Zhan Chengde turned and left.

Jiang Jingyue stood there stunned, unable to come to her senses for quite some time.

She thought about it again, deciding what she should do next.

Before Jiang Jingyue could come up with a good solution, someone called her again.

"Miss, Miss, Master sent me to call you over. He's waiting for you in his study."

When Jiang Jingyue heard this, she smiled and nodded.

"Alright, let's go! Don't keep Father waiting too long."

Jiang's father had indeed been waiting, wanting to ask if Prince Cheng had asked his daughter to do something again since he came today.

When Jiang's father heard that Prince Cheng was coming, he was a little apprehensive.

The main problem is that every time his daughter Xiaoyue goes out with Prince Cheng, she comes back crying.

That's why Mr. Jiang was so anxious.

When he saw Jiang Jingyue walking over from outside, Jiang's father immediately went to greet her.

"Xiaoyue, did Prince Cheng come to see you today because of something important? If Prince Cheng asks you to do anything again, you must learn to refuse if you don't like it."

Just because you like him doesn't mean you won't reject anything he says.

Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but laugh when she saw the worried look in her father's eyes.

"Father, don't worry. I haven't agreed to anything he said. I've thought it through. Prince Cheng is not the right person for me. So from today onwards, I'm giving up and will no longer think about being with Prince Cheng."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang excitedly stood up from his chair.

She looked at Jiang Jingyue in disbelief, and after a long while, she still couldn't believe that these words would come from his daughter's mouth.

Mr. Jiang's voice trembled as he spoke, mainly because he was genuinely happy this time.

"Xiaoyue, it's good that you've come to your senses. Now that you've come to your senses, your father is relieved."

"I'll figure out a way to handle the Regent's matter, so you don't need to worry. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."
