After Su Zhiruan walked out, Zhe Ye and Zhe Zhi looked at each other and began to giggle.

"Daddy is so quick to think of a way to get Mom through." Zhezhi raised his head, picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, chewing while saying, "Brother, should we do something?"

Zhe Ye watched her actions, sighed in his heart, frowned like a little old man, then directly snatched the cake from Zhe Zhi's hand and said to her earnestly, "Zhi Zhi, I've told you many times, don't eat while lying down."

"Brother," Zhezhi sat up. She was not angry, but leaned her elbows on the table and swayed. "Daddy is a good man, but if he bullies mom, then he is a bad man. Brother and mom are both good people, Zhizhi is also a good person, Zhizhi likes good people..."

At the end, Zhezhi started to talk nonsense and finally grabbed Zheye's arm and shook it wildly.

Zhe Ye coaxed his sister to sleep a little longer, but because he had been doing horse stance all morning and was very sleepy now, they fell asleep together.

Seeing this, the maid quietly carried the two children back to their room.

* Su Zhiruan sat in the carriage and always felt that this scene was familiar.

At that time in Jiangnan Prefecture, she seemed to have met him because he had used the false name of the Chamber of Commerce to invite her, and this time, it seemed no different.

But the difference is that this time she had already guessed in her heart that Fu Huaichu might not only be talking about the imperial merchant.

Although Su Zhiruan felt a little helpless, he accepted it calmly in his heart.

When she first came into this world three years ago, all she wanted was to complete her mission quickly, give birth to a baby quickly, and fly away with the child.

No matter what happened in these three years, she never told Zheye Zhezhi or outsiders that Zhezhi Zheye were the biological children of the current Crown Prince. As for the hundreds of people in Sujia Village, they were willing to follow her and hide in obscurity for the past few years. Naturally, they kept the matter a secret, and were even more worried about the news leaking out than others.

But now, as she gets along with the father and his two sons, she gradually feels that children cannot lack fatherly love, especially boys. They need the guidance of a good father to motivate the children to set an example. Fu Huaichu is very good. Whether it is his appearance, temperament, or talent, he is an outstanding one. He is the crown prince, and the two children will learn a lot in the future.

"Ms. Su, please get off." The man outside the carriage knocked on the carriage, indicating that Su Zhiruan could get off.

After Su Zhiruan came down, he found that this was not the imperial palace, but a mansion in the wealthy area in the west of the city.

There was no plaque at the gate, no stone lions, and not even any guards.

Compared to its neighbors, the decor here may seem a bit shabby.

If no one told me, who would know that this was the private residence of the crown prince of a country?

She stood there without moving, but the door in front of her suddenly opened a little, and the figure behind the half-closed door said lightly, "Come in."

Although it was just two words, Su Zhiruan immediately recognized it as Fu Huaichu's voice. She raised her foot and walked up the stairs.

Seeing this, the group of people behind them, led by the man in the lead, turned their horses around and left.

The streets were empty at this time.

"Your Highness is in a good mood today." Su Zhiruan walked to the door and saw Fu Huaichu's face clearly. She asked, "Can I come in?"

"Of course." Fu Huaichu looked at her without blinking, then stepped aside to make way for her, "Ruan Ruan is my distinguished guest, so I naturally dare not neglect her."

"Your Highness is joking." Su Zhiruan used only one sentence to resolve all the twists and turns in his words, leaving him speechless.

Today, Fu Huaichu looked lazier than usual. As the noble Crown Prince, he would usually make people think that he was a cold and heartless person. But today, he just used a hairband to hold up part of his long hair, and the rest cascaded down like a spring waterfall. A long robe covered his body, revealing his broad shoulders and narrow waist, with an immortal figure and jade-like body, as if he was about to ascend to heaven in the next second.

"Come in first," Fu Huaichu led the way, and Su Zhiruan followed behind him, looking at his private residence from time to time.

This place is not very big. After entering from the main door, there is the main hall behind the screen. After going around twice, there are the side rooms on both sides.

Fu Huaichu said as he walked, "As you can see, this place is not very big, but when I bought it, there was one thing that made me very satisfied, that is, there is a hot spring in the backyard."

"Sometimes when I'm tired from work, I'll come here to relax for a moment." Fu Huaichu walked into the pavilion, "How is this place?"

It was called a pavilion, but it was surrounded by thick felt on all sides, and there was a fireplace burning in the middle, making it warm. She nodded.

"Your Highness, why did you ask me to come here?" Su Zhiruan went straight to the point. After the servant poured the tea and left, she looked straight at Fu Huaichu.

When Fu Huaichu saw her sitting upright, he just held the teacup. He knew her character. If she wanted to talk about serious matters, her mind must be here.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Ruan Ruan, the court needs an imperial merchant, and I recommend you." After Fu Huaichu finished speaking, he put down the teacup and waited for her reply.

"Thank you, Your Highness." It was not until this moment that Su Zhiruan's guess was confirmed. It turned out that calling her here was related to the imperial merchant's business.

Becoming an imperial merchant could be considered as bringing honor to one's family. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, in this dynasty, merchants had the lowest status, but imperial merchants were different.

If one is personally chosen by the imperial court, then even if one is a court official, one's social class will be directly raised to a higher level. In addition, with this identity, one can still engage in business, and it is also very useful to spread the word, so many people want to become imperial merchants, but not everyone can easily become one.

"Ruan Ruan, now that we have finished talking about this little thing, shouldn't we talk about our big thing next?" Fu Huaichu was originally sitting opposite Su Zhiruan. After he finished speaking, he moved to Su Zhiruan's side. He squeezed the glass teacup in his hand. His tone was light, yet low and seductive. "That day in the carriage, we almost... but now we can have a good talk."

"What does your highness want to talk about?" Su Zhiruan moved slightly to the side, but Fu Huaichu immediately moved closer again.

She was deeply helpless. Fu Huaichu at this time was as clingy as the Fu Huaichu she met in Sujia Village. At that time, they both pretended to be ignorant while knowing the truth, and lived a sweet life.

"That day, I told you outside the carriage, Ruan Ruan, you should prepare to become the Crown Princess as soon as possible," Fu Huaichu put down the teacup. When Su Zhiruan was about to dodge again, he directly reached out and held her slender waist. He leaned over, his voice low and hoarse, and continued, "I don't want to wait any longer, not even for a moment, Ruan Ruan."

"I want to marry you and make you my Crown Princess," Fu Huaichu said bluntly. He leaned very close to her. All the countless plans in his mind, countless gradual and slow plans, all failed. He found that if he didn't fight for it, he would never get it.

"Be my crown princess, Ruan Ruan."
