Li Hua sat there for a while, seemingly lost in thought, before finally reaching out and tapping Gan Qiongying on the head.

What do you think about every day?

"How could you... You're a princess, a royal princess, how many vulgar and obscene words have you heard?"

Gan Qiongying chuckled to herself, thinking to herself, "You don't know this, I come from the future, and I am the embodiment of the essence of five thousand years of Chinese history."

A whole bunch of cheesy pickup lines haven't even been uploaded yet, otherwise they'd bury you alive.

The two of them snuggled together under the covers, laughing and joking for a while before finally getting dressed. Now, they were finally acting like normal people, and they called for a maid to come in and serve them.

Meanwhile, both Gan Qiongying's people and the prince consort's people outside had experienced round after round of intense psychological shocks last night.

I've basically accepted reality now. When I see Li Hua, I might be lost in thought, but I don't show any excessive fear.

Both of them went to their respective cubicles to wash up, their faces flushed and rosy, except for Man Yue, who seemed a little melancholy.

While serving Gan Qiongying, he hesitated for a long time before finally pulling her to a corner, whispering in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Princess, the prince consort is jealous. If you want to be with him for a long time, you must not tell him that you already knew what he looked like. Everyone knows that you chased after the hostage prince of Jinchuan before."

"If the prince consort really takes it to heart and thinks you've used him as a substitute, things will get complicated!"

Manyue was really worried about Gan Qiongying. From the moment she learned the truth, she began to predict what might happen next. The fact that she could become the first aunt of the princess's mansion at such a young age was definitely not because she had spent the longest time by Princess Duanrong's side.

However, after much back and forth, he felt that this hurdle might be the most difficult to overcome, which is why he was so anxious to remind Gan Qiongying.

After hearing this, Gan Qiongying scratched her head: "What should I do? I've already told him I knew all along..."

Full Moon: "...You guys even had time to talk about that last night?"

No matter how loud the thunder and rain were, they couldn't drown out the sounds of their joy rising and falling.

The maids on night duty outside had been dismissed by Manyue countless times, and they were all blushing.

Even Manyue herself couldn't bear to listen anymore. If it weren't for her master's sake, she wouldn't want to get close to Gan Qiongying.

But Gan Qiongying actually said that she had already said it. How could she speak so quickly?

Gan Qiongying said, "I already said that yesterday, before I even got off the carriage..."

"Didn't the prince consort ask the princess last night, if he already knew, whether she liked him or the hostage from Jinchuan?"

Gan Qiongying now realizes that this problem seems to be a bit serious. Last night, the two of them were so passionate that they didn't examine many things in detail.

She slowly shook her head, recalling the vague topics from the previous night. Li Hua hadn't asked about her previous pursuit of Zhong Li Zhengzhen; he had only asked Gan Qiongying whether she liked him as he was or as he appeared wearing a human skin mask.

Full Moon looked completely hopeless; everything was over.

Gan Qiongying felt it was no big deal. She hadn't asked about it yesterday, so surely they wouldn't bring up the matter again today?

Besides, the two of them are already like that... Li Hua wouldn't dwell on such a trivial matter.

Therefore, Gan Qiongying patted Manyue on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, the prince consort is not such a petty person!"

Full Moon thought to herself, "You really don't know, the prince consort is quite stingy?"

Since he took over the household, he has basically dismissed all the maids and servants in the princess's mansion who had offended him or laid a hand on him.

Moreover, even the two maids who were favored by Manyue, who had been accomplices when the princess treated the prince consort badly but had never laid a hand on him, have now been sent to clean the chamber pots by the prince consort for finding fault with them.

These trivial matters never bothered Gan Qiongying, but she felt a little flustered right now.

When the prince consort was being mistreated, Manyue was one of the first to take the lead. However, she hasn't been punished or had her monthly allowance reduced during this period. Presumably, the prince consort is only refraining from making things difficult for her because of the princess's reputation.

Moreover, what happened between the prince consort and the princess is something that others may not know, but Manyue does.

The two were a couple in name only before.

Now they are a real couple, meaning the prince consort has completely taken over the position.

Full Moon is panicking right now... She feels that the princess doesn't have the same methods as the prince consort in some matters.

The prince consort's methods are even more ingenious than those of the palace intrigues that Manyue had witnessed. Now, everyone in the princess's residence is completely submissive... There are thousands of people, with over a thousand active in the front courtyard alone.

No one spoke ill of him.

What a terrifying ability this is! The princess had no idea.

Manyue opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something more, but in the end, seeing how happy Gan Qiongying was, she didn't want to spoil her mood.

Well, well, how many things in the princess's life were truly this pleasant?

Although he didn't go to the palace for the full moon celebration, he knew how the princess had survived by the skin of her teeth and how much effort the prince consort had put in outside.

As long as these two masters are safe and sound, we servants... are just happy to be alive.

Therefore, Manyue didn't say anything more, but told Gan Qiongying to think of a reason to deal with it, so that if the prince consort really asked one day, she would at least have a reason to argue.

Gan Qiongying didn't take it seriously at all. After washing up, she sat down to eat with Li Hua.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were combined, and the meal was quite substantial.

Li Hua's leg was wrapped with a hot compress pack, and one leg was draped over a stool.

Gan Qiongying sat on the other side of Li Hua, and whenever she ate something delicious, she would naturally put some on Li Hua's plate.

This time, the communal chopsticks were left unused, and the two of them practically fed each other with their mouths.

People in love are basically like this; they exude a sour, pungent smell that can be smelled from miles around.

Especially since the two were a legally married couple, and Gan Qiongying was by no means a low-key or reserved person, Li Hua was also a bit more relaxed because of her influence... and responded to her very naturally.

Therefore, the two of them didn't feel anything amiss during the meal, and the maids around them were quietly dismissed by Manyue twice.

A bunch of good-for-nothings.

She could blush so much just watching her masters being so affectionate.

Full Moon patted her slightly flushed face and looked at the sweet-faced girl whose face was as red as a ripe peach but who was pretending to be serious. For the first time, she felt that the days ahead might not be easy.

Thinking that the two of them had finished their meal, Manyue thoughtfully served them both red bean soup.

The meaning of this red bean soup is well-known: it signifies prosperity, many children, and abundant blessings.

Gan Qiongying only realized what had happened when she started drinking the soup... She was just too happy and excited last night. Isn't this because she's never been in a relationship before and is inexperienced?

This isn't because she's never liked a man before, but suddenly she's incredibly fond of him.

She only just realized that they hadn't taken any precautions last night, and there's a possibility that she might be pregnant!

Holy crap!

This won't do! She's at a crucial time right now, what if she gets pregnant at this point!
