"Look, it's stuck." Sure enough, the idea of ​​loving a beauty more than one's country only exists in storybooks.

In reality, even if you gave it to her, she wouldn't trade it.

Yinzhen turned his head to the side and muttered something that didn't mean what he really meant, "You haven't really married me, how would I know which is more important?"

When he first met Nan Yi, he planned to marry her as his primary wife. He never thought about taking that position, and as long as the wife's family background was not bad, he was fine with marrying whoever he wanted.

My mother talked about his marriage several times, saying that if he had a girl he liked, she could ask the emperor for his favor so that he could have his wish fulfilled. But things didn't go as planned.

It was just a joke. Nan sat with his knees bent. When he saw that Yinzhen had suddenly fallen silent, he gave him a good shove. His eyes suddenly fell on Yinzhen's bright red ears, and he laughed, "Hey, why are you still shy? You have more than a dozen wives. Isn't it a bit too pretentious to pretend to be innocent?"

She pounced on him, put her hands on his shoulders, grabbed his ear, and chuckled twice, "Your primary wife is so beautiful, she's practically a celestial being descended to earth. You've gotten a great deal."

The ears are a sensitive area, and with the beauty leaning against him, Yin Tang suddenly stiffened. The fragrance was so close behind him, and he could almost smell her breath. He almost lost control.

His mind was in turmoil, and he didn't even know what he was saying. He gripped the fur rug tightly with his fingers, swallowed hard, and said, "Is that so? I didn't pay much attention. I'm probably not as good as you."

"You're lying through your teeth. What kind of relationship do we have? There's no need for such formalities." She patted his shoulder and sat down next to him, swinging her legs back and forth.

"To be honest, I haven't seen many princes' wives, but I've seen quite a few beauties. If you ask which is the most beautiful, we have two in our household and you have two in yours, but the most outstanding one is none other than your primary wife. She is dignified and gentle, charming but not coquettish, and beautiful but not vulgar. She is the epitome of a beauty that could topple cities and kingdoms."

Yinzhen's gaze fell on the swaying hem of her robe, his eyes glazed over, and he smiled foolishly.

"What are you thinking about, Ah Tang?" Nan Yi nudged her with his shoulder. "Hey, I'm talking to you."

Yin Tang slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on her face, then sliding to her naturally red lips. As if something was tempting him to step forward, he couldn't help but murmur, "Nan Yi, in my heart, you are the most beautiful."

"Huh? You're not nearsighted anymore? I know I'm good-looking, but I'm self-aware." Nan Yi saw him getting closer, raised her hand to press down his head, and frowned. "Just talk, why are you getting so close?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Tang froze. After regaining his senses, he quickly stepped back, his heart pounding and his face burning red. He was terrified; he had almost crossed the line.

He couldn't stay with her. Nan Yi was poisonous, and he was poisoned by her. If it happened again, he couldn't guarantee what he might do.

With his heart pounding, Yinzhen desperately needed to calm down and quell his agitated emotions. He jumped off the bed in a panic and ran to the outer room of the study. As soon as he opened the door, the Eighth Prince and the Tenth Prince were standing outside. The Eighth Prince was about to knock on the door.

Upon suddenly seeing the two brothers outside the study, Yinzhen's expression panicked for a moment, but he quickly composed himself and greeted them dryly, "Eighth Brother, Tenth Brother, what brings you here?"

He went outside and reached back to close the door.

The Eighth Prince gave him a deep look, and asked casually, "Ninth Brother, why is your face so red?"

The Ninth Prince was already feeling guilty. When his brother told him that he was blushing, he looked a little embarrassed. He unconsciously wiped his hot face a couple of times, coughed lightly, and pretended to be stupid without saying a word.

The Tenth Prince, somewhat bewildered, said, which also helped him out of his predicament, "It's hot, Ninth Brother. It's so cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

He reached for the door as he spoke, and the Ninth Prince tried to stop him, but the man had already entered the room.

The Eighth Prince smiled faintly, as if he had just understood, and went into the study. The Ninth Prince sighed in frustration, hoping they would leave after a while.

There were at least four or five braziers in the study. When the Tenth Prince saw them, he exclaimed, "Ninth Brother, you're a grown man, why are you so afraid of the cold? But it really is warm." He took off his hat and sat down by the brazier, so that his back was to the small room at the back of the study.

The Tenth Prince struck a comfortable pose, picked up a piece of candied fruit from the table next to him, popped it into his mouth, and joked, "With so many snacks, you're living the good life."

The Eighth Prince sat down opposite the Tenth Prince and noticed the Ninth Prince's restless expression. He glanced around the study without making a sound and thought to himself, "Something is definitely strange."

He assumed his ninth brother was having an affair with one of his favorite concubines in the study, shook his head and chuckled. He was overthinking it; his ninth brother was perfectly fine. So, he decided to have a cup of tea and then leave.

"Ninth Brother, why are you always peeking at Fourth Brother today? What did Fourth Brother do to make you feel so threatened?"

The Tenth Prince was unaware that his two older brothers in the study each had their own thoughts. He was straightforward and asked questions directly when he had any.

The Ninth Prince instinctively glanced at the curtain and shifted uncomfortably. He denied the Tenth Prince's words, saying, "Really? I was just lost in thought. You must have mistaken me."

"It wasn't just a short while; the court session lasted an hour. She was like she was under a spell, her mind wandering and absent-minded. Father Emperor saw it all."

"I..." What do you mean, the person he admires is hiding in his study, sleeping in the same room. It would be a miracle if he wasn't bewildered.

They were unaware of each other's presence last night, but tonight, the thought of possibly spending time together in the same room made the Ninth Prince restless and inexplicably hot.

The myna and tenth brother next to them are such an eyesore, why don't they leave?

He forgot to reply to the Tenth Prince, picked up his teacup, and drank the tea in one gulp.

He was stunned again. Even the tenth prince noticed something was wrong and kept glancing at the ninth prince. The eighth prince had no choice but to speak up, "Tenth prince, the ninth brother probably didn't sleep well last night."

The Eighth Prince made up an excuse for him, but in his heart he thought, "This concubine is really something. The Ninth Prince is obviously infatuated with her."

Well, they should just leave. It's obvious the other person isn't interested in entertaining them.

Hiding in the small room, Nan Yi thought that since she was leaving and might never see them again, she would at least sneak one last look at them.

She lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside.

With just one glance, the Eighth Prince, who was turning around to say goodbye to his Ninth Brother, caught a glimpse of those sparkling eyes out of the corner of his eye, and was so startled that he choked on the air he had just inhaled.

"Cough, cough cough~"

"Eighth Brother, have you caught a cold?" The Tenth Prince picked up the tea on the table and handed it to him. "Here, drink more hot water. When we get back, ask Eighth Sister-in-law to make some ginger juice to dispel the cold."

The Eighth Prince coughed twice, pushed away the tea, and angrily pointed at his Ninth Brother. But with the Tenth Brother present, he couldn't criticize him directly. He snorted coldly and turned away.

Ninth Prince was unaware that Eighth Prince had discovered Nan Yi, and he was completely bewildered by Eighth Prince's sudden outburst of anger.

Nan Yi pulled back behind the curtain. Well, now another person knows. The Eighth Prince is not like Yin Tang; he is extremely rational. It would be best if he didn't discover anything amiss.

She didn't want to cause any more trouble, so leaving the capital as soon as possible was the best course of action.

Later, I'll try to persuade Ah Tang to help me escort her away. Once she's out of the capital, who will know who? Let's find a quiet, remote village to stay in for a while, and then she can go out and travel after things have calmed down.
