After Xie Jingrun put her down, he took her hand and looked at her flushed face, asking, "Did you have fun?"
Rong Qingqing nodded, "Happy." Then, she couldn't help but tell him about what happened at Princess Anyang's residence that day.
Xie Jingrun listened quietly. Although she was talking about trivial things, he was not impatient at all.
When she recounted how she played a prank on a noblewoman while playing the game of musical chairs, the corners of her beautiful lips curled up slightly.
"...Am I being really bad?" Rong Qingqing asked, turning her head at the end.
Xie Jingrun squeezed her fingers. "Not bad enough."
Rong Qingqing said in surprise, "But Miss Liu's face turned green at that time, and she lost all face. This is a terrible thing for a young lady."
Xie Jingrun said, "That's her own fault. She thought she had figured out your thoughts and that you were happy to see Xie Jingyi make a fool of herself, so she was very fearless. For someone like her, it's too easy for her to just make a fool of herself."
"What would you do if you were in that situation?" Rong Qingqing asked.
Xie Jingrun did not answer her question, but changed the subject, saying, "I'm hungry, let's go back and eat first."
Rong Qingqing's attention was diverted, and she didn't ask any more questions.
Xie Jingrun glanced at her, then pulled her closer into his arms. If it were him, he would naturally be ruthless, but he didn't want her to know.
Princess Anyang's Residence.
After taking a bath, Feng Xin saw that it was still early and she couldn't fall asleep so early, so she picked up the storybook that Shangguan Yanran had given her to read in order to pass the time.
However, after reading a few pages, he suddenly remembered something, so he quickly dropped the sketchbook, slipped on his shoes, and ran out.
Xiao Dezi, who was guarding outside, saw her come out and hurriedly asked, "Does Your Highness have something to instruct this servant?"
“No.” Feng Xin shook her head. “I’m looking for Li Mu.”
"Guard Li has gone back to his room to rest," Xiao Dezi said.
"Summon him to see me," Feng Xin ordered, frowning.
"Yes." Just as Xiao Dezi was about to go down, Feng Xin thought for a moment and called him back, "Never mind, I'll go by myself." With that, she walked towards the room where Li Mu lived.
When she arrived at Li Mu's house, she saw that the light was still on. She pushed the door open and, seeing that it wasn't locked, went straight in.
Seeing that Li Mu was not in the outer room, she called out as she walked into the inner room, "Li Mu?"
At the same time, the sound of splashing water came from inside the room, followed by Li Mu's urgent voice, "Princess, stop!"
However, it was too late; Feng Xin had already stepped into the inner room.
Upon seeing the scene before her, Feng Xin was stunned for a moment. Realizing what was happening, she blushed and quickly turned around.
Li Mu was actually taking a bath?
The image she had just seen flashed through her mind: a man shirtless, with tanned, firm skin and bulging muscles above his abdomen...
She swallowed hard, her face suddenly felt hot, and she felt a little dizzy.
There was a rustling sound behind me.
After a moment, Li Mu finished putting on his undergarments, stood behind her, and said in a deep voice, "Does the princess need me for something?"
Feng Xin didn't dare turn around, picking at her fingers as she said, "I...I came to get the picture book..."
Li Mu naturally understood what the sketchbook she was referring to. He paused for a moment, then said calmly, "I've already taken the sketchbook and burned it."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xin's expression changed. She was so angry that she forgot she was still shy. She turned around abruptly and glared at him angrily, saying, "Li Mu, how dare you!"
Li Mu glanced at her indifferently, "The princess is still an unmarried girl, such picture books are not suitable for you to look at."
Feng Xin shouted angrily, "Whether it's appropriate or not, I know myself. You burned my picture album without my permission. What is your crime?"
