"This lamp will be on all night, Your Highness, don't worry." Gu Sui Han pointed to the oil lamp.
"Then you can stay with me and talk for a while, and leave after I fall asleep."
"Okay." Li Xiwei agreed and sat carefully on the edge of the couch, only touching one corner.
She gave him a light kick, and seeing that he didn't lose his balance and fall forward, she said in surprise, "You have good kung fu."
"Your Highness, please stop teasing me." He looked helpless.
"Who told you to treat me like a monster and avoid me as much as possible?"
"I am afraid of ruining your highness's reputation."
"You're saying the opposite, aren't you? You're worried that I'll ruin your reputation. I'm a woman, how can I have a clean reputation? I've been inconsiderate on this point.

"My dear, your words are truly comforting." Jiang Cenyun narrowed his eyes. "If I told this to any other girl, who would think you're not virtuous enough to be a husband?"
"Your Highness, why are you so concerned about my marriage?" Li Xiwei moved closer to her. "Are you trying to match me with a certain girl? If I can be of any help to Your Highness, I... Your Highness, I believe my value in the court is greater than my value in marriage."
Jiang Cenyun laughed. "Hahaha, what are you thinking? How could I possibly use your marriage to consolidate my own power? Don't worry, I will never interfere with your marriage."
