"We're all men, if we're constantly being with her... it's inevitable that we'll lose control!!"

Do you know how hard I've been enduring this?

"That's why I don't dare to see her anymore."

"Even so, the princess is still not satisfied. Last time, if I hadn't kept refusing, I'm afraid... I'm afraid my... innocence would have been lost."

Shen Hechuan never expected the truth to be like this, and was immediately somewhat embarrassed.

"You're still innocent... What do you mean you're innocent... What innocence do you have?"

He coughed twice, momentarily unsure how to face Luo Ziqian.

He nodded.

"Alright, I know everything. Now, stop pretending to be a chaste and virtuous man. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"Go back and inform your parents that I will draft an imperial decree to set the wedding date for next March."

"It's springtime, so it will be more comfortable for you to get married."

Luo Ziqian nodded and immediately knelt down to thank the imperial decree.

Shen Hechuan then waved his hand, signaling the person to leave.

After Luo Ziqian left, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but sigh.

"I never would have guessed. Rongyang is usually so well-behaved, but in private he's actually..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Hechuan hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Jingchun, do you also crave my body?"

Gu Jingchun raised an eyebrow, and his finger moved down to Shen Hechuan's abdominal muscles.

What do you think?

Shen Hechuan grinned, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

"Since that's the case..."

What are you going to do?

Gu Jinxi's innocent voice rang in their ears.

The two quickly separated and looked over, only to find that Gu Jinxi was resting her head on her hand, looking at them with a puzzled expression.

“I heard everything you said. Where are you going?”

"Are you going to sneak out of the palace again?"

"I heard you this time, you can't leave me out."

Gu Jingchun: ...

Shen Hechuan: ...

I forgot that Gu Jinxi was still here.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't do anything too outrageous.

Gu Jingchun couldn't help but smile and quickly reassured him.

"Xi'er, don't worry, we won't leave the palace. Next time we leave the palace, we will definitely take you with us."

Gu Jinxi snorted.

"I don't believe you!"

“You told me the same thing last time, but you still secretly ran away in the end. This time, I won’t believe you no matter what.”

Gu Jingchun was on the verge of tears and could only look to Shen Hechuan for help.

Shen Hechuan was about to speak when Gu Jinxi cut him off.

"Father, there's no need to say anything more. I know what you're going to say, but I won't listen. You've said 'another day' so many times already."

And when have you ever taken me out?

Both of them were rendered speechless by Gu Jinxi's words.

One hour later.

The three of them stood on the streets of Tiandu.

Gu Jinxi looked at the familiar street and smiled happily.

Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan exchanged a glance, then took hands and walked forward together.

"You've almost finished your candy, haven't you?"

After saying that, the two looked up at the same time, exchanged a glance, and then refuted each other simultaneously.

"No."

"Where are the candies?"

“We never eat candy.”

Gu Jingchun didn't bother to waste words with them and simply pulled them forward.

"Let's go, there's a candy shop up ahead. I'll go buy some for you. Since you never eat them, I won't buy any!"

"Mother—"

Gu Jinxi held Gu Jingchun's hand, her little face full of pleading.

"I'll only eat a little bit, I promise, I definitely won't eat more."

Shen Hechuan: "Cough..."

"I am the emperor. What's wrong with the emperor wanting some candy?"

"Fine, since you want to buy it for me, then buy me some!"

As she spoke, she made a very troubled look and looked at Gu Jingchun.

Gu Jingchun rolled his eyes at him.

Only then did he walk over.

The shopkeeper looked at Gu Jingchun and immediately beamed with joy.

"Boss, you've finally arrived! It's been a while since you last came. We recently launched some new products, and I was just thinking of sending some to you to try!"

"good."

Gu Jingchun nodded.

"Bring them all over here!"

Shen Hechuan and Gu Jinxi exchanged a surprised glance upon hearing this.

"Is this candy shop yours?"

"Um."

Gu Jingchun nodded.

"Because Seele likes to eat, I opened this shop specifically."

"The candies here taste different from ordinary candies. They are not very sweet, but they have a mellow aroma. Eating too many of them will not damage your teeth."

This is a flavor I specially commissioned to develop; even the palace couldn't replicate it.

As Gu Jingchun spoke, he had already sat down.

The shopkeeper quickly served Gu Jingchun the newest candy to taste.

Shen Hechuan and Gu Jinxi swallowed hard.

First, I was greedy; second... I was scared!

Because they both liked the candy here, Shen Hechuan often came to buy it, sometimes even in person.

After buying it, the two of them ate it together.

They always enjoy their meals immensely.

They thought they had kept it a secret from Gu Jingchun, but who would have thought that the shop actually belonged to Gu Jingchun!

Does that mean Gu Jingchun would know exactly how much candy the two of them ate?

When Shen Hechuan saw Gu Jingchun looking at him, he immediately smiled ingratiatingly.
