Zhu Yu held it in his hand, pinching and touching it here and there. Strangely, where did Lu Xiaoyun put the private seal?
Lu Xiaoyun caught a glimpse of Zhu Yu's actions out of the corner of her eye and smiled.
Jiang Chuan and Feng Yan both lowered their heads, unable to bear the sight of the prince's grinning face.
It looks exactly like the black dog in the backyard trying to please the female dog.
When Xi Yi rushed over, he saw his master and Jiang Chuan fighting.
In his opinion, the two of them were just showing off their skills, and their strength was lacking.
He glanced at Lu Yuyan beside him again. Wow, so many days have passed, why is this guy still doing horse stance, and he's even fuming about it?
That's useless!
"My lord, the Duke of Zhenguo and his heir have arrived in the outskirts of the capital. They should be here in about an hour."
Lu Xiaoyun and Jiang Chuan put away their guns. Lu Yuyan was so tired that she sat down on the ground. It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. Zhu Yu's physique is too amazing. His older sister is very good at martial arts.
Lu Xiaoyun took the handkerchief Jiang handed her, wiped her sweat, and said, "I understand."
Therefore, she and Zhu Yu will go back to her parents' home tomorrow.
"There's one more thing," Xi Yi paused for a moment before saying, "The Emperor has a new concubine, Consort Ye, who is very favored. It's said that the Third Prince sent her to the palace some time ago."
Lu Xiaoyun suddenly remembered the day she wiped out the bandits. When she entered the Emperor's bedchamber in the middle of the night, the old emperor's robe was half-open. She guessed that the dog emperor had just finished.
Just thinking about it made Lu Xiaoyun feel nauseous.
They each took a bath and changed clothes.
Zhu Yu followed Lu Xiaoyun to the front yard.
Jiang Chuan chuckled to himself, shrugging Feng Yan's shoulder: "I've noticed the Prince and Princess are getting more and more affectionate. Look, when the Prince wants to bathe and change, the Princess follows him. What if something happens between them in the hot spring..."
Jiang Chuan chuckled.
Feng Yan glanced at Jiang Chuan.
Is spring finally here?
He felt that the way Li Feng looked at him lately was strange.
But Li Feng didn't even glance at him.
Sure enough, seeing that Li Feng had turned towards Feixue Garden after listening to the princess's words, he immediately followed after her.
She pulled a paper package from her bosom and handed it to Li Feng, her face slightly flushed: "Here, this is for you."
Li Feng curiously took it, and seeing that it was osmanthus cake, he quickly nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness likes this the most."
Jiang Chuan: "...This, this is for you."
"Oh, I don't like sweets." Li Feng stuffed the oil paper package back into Jiang Chuan's arms.
Jiang Chuan lowered his head in frustration and silently followed behind Li Feng.
How could any girl not like sweets?
Li Feng turned to look at him: "Is there anything else?"
Jiang Chuan blushed and dared not look at Li Feng, stammering, "I, I am, that..."
Li Feng slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory! The money I borrowed from you a few days ago, the princess has already given it to me and told me to pay you back."
Jiang Chuan stamped his feet in frustration. How did it turn into him coming to collect a debt from her?
"No, that..."
Li Feng glanced at Jiang Chuan with a puzzled look: "If there's nothing else, you can go back and serve the Prince. I still need to prepare medicine for the Princess. I'll bring the money back to you in a bit, don't worry."
What do I have to be worried about? I'm not worried at all.
Jiang Chuan mustered his courage, calmed his wildly beating heart, and stepped forward to block Li Feng's path.
Li Feng frowned and took two steps back: "Jiang Chuan, it's just a few dozen taels of silver. You've seen everything while serving the prince. Is there any need to be in such a hurry?"
Jiang Chuan: "..."
"Alright, alright, come with me to Feixue Garden, I'll give you the money."
Jiang Chuan: "Oh, no, that's not it. It's just... it's about you. Has your family, or the princess, arranged a marriage for you?"
"Does this have anything to do with repaying the money?" Li Feng asked疑惑地问道, "No. What's wrong? Is Lord Jiang going to act as my matchmaker?"
"I..." What kind of matchmaker am I? Can I recommend myself?
"There's no need to arrange a marriage for me. I've already sworn to serve the Princess for the rest of my life and never marry."
After saying that, Li Feng walked past Jiang Chuan and went to Feixue Garden without looking back.
Jiang Chuan: "..." He wanted to cry. A young girl, why did she have to make such a vow?
Feng Yan chuckled behind Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuanchao glared at him: "What are you laughing at? It's like you have a wife."
Feng Yan was still laughing at him.
In the hot spring pool of the main courtyard.
Lu Xiaoyun deftly stripped off her clothes and crawled into the hot spring pool. She saw Zhu Yu standing there with his head down, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Aren't you going to shower together?"
Zhu Yu's heart pounded wildly, her face flushed as she lowered her head: "You, you wash first..."
Although their lips had lightly touched a few days ago, he still couldn't help feeling flustered when they were actually naked and facing each other like this.
While splashing water haphazardly on herself, Lu Xiaoyun looked at Zhu Yu, who was standing on the platform and refused to get down, and said, "Hurry up and take it off. Don't waste time. Yuan Xiu has prepared the gift list for tomorrow's homecoming. We'll go take a look in a bit. If anything is not suitable, we'll have to make changes. It would be best if you could also personally inspect the items."
“…Uh, oh, okay.” Zhu Yu hesitated and walked slowly toward the edge of the pool.
Lu Xiaoyun stood up abruptly, took a few steps to Zhu Yu, and with a quick tug at his waist, her belt slipped off, and her clothes were instantly undone.
Her fragrant shoulders were bare, revealing her exquisite and smooth collarbones.
Zhu Yu quickly covered his bellyband, which Lu Xiaoyun had torn down to barely cover his chest: "Don't...don't look..."
Lu Xiaoyun blinked, her warm hand gripping Zhu Yu's waist: "This is my own body, what's wrong with looking at it?"
Zhu Yu felt a shiver run through his body. The large hand covering his waist was extremely strong and warm, making his whole body feel hot.
Lu Xiaoyun didn't notice anything different about Zhu Yu. After speaking, she reached out and subdued Zhu Yu's small body, and in no time, she had him completely exposed.
Zhu Yu: "..." He hurriedly closed his eyes.
Seeing that he kept his eyes closed and refused to go into the water, Lu Xiao chuckled softly, telling him that he had teased her a few days ago, but now that things were serious, he had chickened out.
So he bent down, picked the person up horizontally, and waded directly into the hot spring pool.
"Ah..." Zhu Yu exclaimed and grabbed Lu Xiaoyun's neck.
Lu Xiaoyun looked down at him and saw her own reflection in his dark, star-like eyes. The shadow had a smile on its lips, as if it were teasing an innocent woman.
The "respectable woman" in his arms blushed with embarrassment when she saw Lu Xiaoyun staring at her so intently. She hurriedly buried her head in her arms and let her lead her step by step into the water.
As his hand slid across his skin, Zhu Yu felt as if his entire body was about to be set ablaze.
Lu Xiaoyun put the person into the water, turned around, and handed the bath towel to Zhu Yu behind her: "Help me scrub my back."
"Huh?" Zhu Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hurry up, the scar removal medicine that Ayan prescribed for me is working. The scar on my back has been a bit itchy these past few days."
Zhu Yu gripped the bath towel tightly in his hand, staring blankly at his back.
