Yu Jingchen felt a little helpless seeing that Nan Zhiyun didn't seem to care much about what he said. She was really spoiled; she hardly listened to him anymore. Had he been pampering this girl too much?
What if she does something harmful to her health in the future? The girl is still young and doesn't understand many things. Although she needs to be taught slowly, he doesn't want Nan Zhiyun to get hurt in the process.
"I was serious about what I just said. No matter what, your own safety should always be the most important thing. If you hurt yourself because of something you did, I will definitely punish you, do you understand?" Yu Jingchen still felt that he should make this matter clear and be more serious.
"Okay, I understand, I won't." Nan Zhiyun knew that Yu Jingchen was very strict about her safety and didn't take it lightly at all. Although she felt that Yu Jingchen wouldn't really punish her now, she would still be careful herself.
Of course, what Nan Zhiyun didn't know was that because she overestimated Yu Jingchen's soft heart and was too arrogant, she was punished quite severely later on...
Seeing that Nan Zhiyun seemed to have taken his words to heart, Yu Jingchen didn't say anything more; saying more would only be annoying. He led Nan Zhiyun into the house. Although winter was over, early spring was still quite cold.
After Nan Zhiyun and Yu Jingchen left the courtyard, the Second Princess, Yu Wan'er, emerged from a corner in the distance. She had witnessed everything that had just happened. Yu Wan'er stared at the swing, lost in thought.
"This servant greets the Second Princess. What brings the Second Princess here?" It was Jiang Ji.
Yu Wan'er seemed startled, and was still a little scared after seeing Jiang Ji: "I... I was just feeling stuffy inside, so I came out for a walk... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have peeked." Yu Wan'er still seemed to be quite timid.
"I'll leave right away. I'm sorry, I won't do it again next time." After saying this, Yu Wan'er ran towards her palace. Jiang Ji watched the direction Yu Wan'er left in without saying anything, but the deep look in his eyes was undeniable.
The Jiang Ji of today is like a completely different person from the Jiang Ji in public. He gives off a strange feeling, but there's something inexplicable about him.
After Yu Wan'er disappeared from his sight, Jiang Ji looked thoughtfully at the swing in the courtyard and the location of Nan Zhiyun Palace.
Yunpeng Palace
The Imperial Concubine sat at the table, propping her head up with one hand; she had a terrible headache. These official duties seemed endless, and just looking at them annoyed her. Especially the recent selection of concubines—these new girls were all quite cunning and manipulative.
"What's the point of you being so busy all day? His Majesty hasn't even said he'd come to see you. Isn't all your work for nothing? Anyway, he doesn't care, so just brush him off. Why are you so busy? You're exhausting yourself, and he hasn't even shown you any pity." Consort De sat beside her, peeling and eating an orange.
"I'd like to think that if something goes wrong, I'll be the one who gets into trouble in the end. If His Majesty gets angry again, I'll be punished too." The Consort spoke weakly.
"Tsk, can His Majesty act like a human being for once? It's one thing to dote on Consort Shu every day, but he also has to exploit the others." Consort De was speechless.
