As soon as Long Jingchen finished his work, he rushed to Mingyue Palace.
He stood at the door and watched from afar as Sang Jiang lay on the rocking chair with her eyes closed. Yang Qi was about to speak when he was stopped by him, and he unconsciously slowed his steps.
He walked over to Sang Jiang, waved to Chun He and Kou Er, and then sat down directly on the stone bench.
A book was covering Sang Jiang's face, and Long Jingchen glanced at it curiously. It was titled "My Husband Is Not Human".
Long Jingchen: ? ? ?
He thought for a moment, then gently picked up the book covering her face, covered her face with his large palm, and used his other hand to turn the pages.
She couldn't continue reading after a few pages, finding it increasingly absurd. The book was about a woman who saved a snake, and years later, the snake transformed into a man to repay her kindness.
That's utter nonsense.
After that, it's a blank page...
Long Jingchen took the book and corrected it for her, while he looked at the stack of papers next to him.
The stack of papers wasn't very big; it was rectangular, with one side blank and the other side having numbers written on it. He recognized it; it was called playing cards. Sang Jiang had played it with the palace maids in the palace before.
He frowned slightly as he looked at the playing cards in his hand.
"Fourth Sister..."
Sang Ruo's voice was stuck in her throat at the doorway.
Sang Jiang woke up because of her shout.
She picked up the book from her face, yawned widely, and slowly sat up: "Your Majesty? What are you doing here?"
Long Jingchen coughed lightly: "I didn't wake you because I saw you weren't fully awake."
Sang Ruo saw Long Jingchen hurriedly tidying his clothes and pursed his lips as he walked in with small, quick steps: "Your Majesty, I greet you."
Long Jingchen nodded: "Get up."
Sang Jiang looked at Sang Ruo with dissatisfaction and said, "Oh, so Your Highness remembered me after you finished your work?"
Sang Ruo looked at her, a smile she couldn't hide on her lips: "Your Majesty, I greet you."
Sang Jiang: ...
She got up, frowned, and helped her up.
Because the Emperor seemed a little reserved around Sang Ruo, she remained silent for a moment.
Sang Jiang glanced at Long Jingchen and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't you still have state affairs to attend to?"
Whether intentionally or not, Long Jingchen looked at Sang Jiang with an innocent expression and said, "No, I don't think so."
Sang Jiang smiled and gritted her teeth, threatening, "Since the Emperor is alright, then don't come here tonight under the bright moon..."
Long Jingchen: "Yes! I do have some things to attend to. I will come to see you again tonight, my beloved consort."
Sang Jiang laughed immediately: "Your Majesty, I respectfully see you off."
Long Jingchen was speechless at her cheerful tone.
As soon as Long Jingchen left, Sang Ruo perked up: "Jiang Jiang, wasn't it said that Princess Luoying was going to be the one sent for the political marriage? It's you, why didn't you tell me?"
Sang Jiang reached out and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake from the table next to her, mumbling, "It was just a matter of necessity."
Sang Ruo was, after all, a member of the Sang family. She didn't want to create a rift between herself and Sang Ruo because of what she had done, so she didn't bring it up.
...
Prince's Mansion.
Sang Rui almost ground her teeth to powder as she listened to the topic the maids were discussing.
Yesterday, when the Emperor conferred the title of Consort, the old Princess Consort didn't take her along because she was just a concubine. After they returned, she started looking at her with a very strange gaze. It wasn't until she overheard the maids' conversation that she finally understood that the marriage alliance was actually with Sang Jiang.
Sang Rui was no pushover either. She recalled the events of the past few days, and it seemed that ever since Sang Jiang arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, she had been constantly getting into trouble...
