Seeing Jiang He was about to cry out of grievance, Ling Shumo didn't want to tell Jiang He the details of the incident, so she simply changed the subject directly, "By the way, didn't you say you made some cakes for me? What kind of cakes were they? I happen to be feeling a little hungry now."
Jiang He still had tears in his eyes. He was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything. He just stared at Ling Shumo blankly, afraid that he might not be careful again and accidentally offend Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.
Shi Qi opened the food box in his hand and smiled to smooth things over, "Oh! This is made by Noble Maid Mei. This is your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Your Highness. It's still warm. I smell it, and it seems to be even better than the plate of cakes that Lu Cejun made a few days ago."
Ling Shumo didn't care whether her hands were clean or not. She picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, took a bite, and then put the cake with her teeth marks on it to Jiang He's lips again, sighing, "It tastes really good. Why don't you try your own cooking?"
Seeing Jiang Hegan staring at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake without opening his mouth, Ling Shumo asked him with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you disgusted by the fact that I've bitten this cake, so you don't want to eat it?"
Of course, Jiang He couldn't mean that. He snatched the osmanthus cake, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it. "Your Highness, I will never dislike Your Highness..." He said, and then added softly, "Your Highness likes the cake even more when it is stained with Your Highness's saliva."
Ling Shumo stared at his face with pretended suspicion, "Really? In that case, I'll feed you this whole box of osmanthus cake mouth to mouth. That way, you can never say I don't love you anymore."
Jiang He's cheeks flushed red. "Your Highness, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm deaf and can't hear anything."
Seeing him smile, Ling Shumo put away the exaggerated expression on her face and her voice became serious again, "Don't get involved in the affairs of the princess anymore. Those things are very complicated, and it's not something a brainless fool like you can figure out." The words sounded a bit harsh, but the way she addressed Jiang He revealed a bit of intimacy.
Compared to Lu Jinshu, who was scheming and always thinking ahead, Jiang He, who was easily framed by Feng Ye, was too innocent and kind. If Fu Yijing was a good person, it would be fine for Jiang He to stay with him, but in this situation, Jiang He might be harmed by Fu Yijing one day.
Ling Shumo didn't have the energy to protect Jiang He all the time, but she also wanted Jiang He to live in peace, so she wanted to solve the problem from the source. "From now on, apart from paying your respects every day, you should have less contact with the Princess Royal. Do you understand?"
Jiang He was obviously unwilling in his heart, but he had just been scolded by Ling Shumo, and he really didn't dare to refute her. So, he nodded reluctantly and said, "Your Highness, I will obey you."
Ling Shumo rubbed his head and said, "You're so good. I like you just like this."
Jiang He's eyes sparkled, "Her Highness loves to say these nice words to coax people."
Ling Shumo picked him up and said, "Don't you like being coaxed by me?"
Jiang He rested his head on Ling Shumo's shoulder. He briefly forgot about the troubles he had just had with Fu Yijing. He only felt that he was very happy to be so close to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.
Ling Shumo carried the man all the way back to Guangming Palace and threw him directly onto the bed. Before Jiang He could react, the bed curtains had somehow fallen. He only had time to say, "It's still daytime, Your Highness, can't you wait until night..." The rest of his words abruptly stopped.
Ling Shumo and Jiang He were very affectionate for a few days. When she was about to spend the night in the Anxiang Palace again, Jiang He told her with a face full of joy, "Your Highness is pregnant."
After Ling Shumo's surprise, she smiled and asked him what he wanted. Jiang He looked at Ling Shumo cautiously, "The Princess Crown Prince's confinement is still half a month away. I don't want anything. I just want to ask Your Highness to let the Princess Crown Prince come out of Fuyao Palace a few days early."
Ling Shumo didn't want to agree at first, but Jiang He tried his best to beg her, using all his tricks of acting coquettishly and obediently.
Ling Shumo finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Shi Qi, go to Fuyao Palace and inform Fu Yijing. Tell him that Jiang He pleaded for him, and I have lifted his house arrest."
Jiang He opened his arms and hugged Ling Shumo tightly, "Your Highness is so kind to me. I love you the most."
Ling Shumo couldn't help but tease him, "What about after the baby is born? In your heart, is being alone more important, or is our child more important?"
Jiang He immediately sat up straight, as if he was really stumped by this question. After thinking for a while, he said very seriously, "Her Highness is as important as our son. In the hearts of this servant, they are equal."
Ling Shumo didn't expect this answer, and then asked him in confusion, "Why a son? Other men have tried their best to give me a daughter who can stand up for herself."
Jiang He looked at Ling Shumo, his voice very serious, "Everyone envies Lord Lu for giving birth to Her Royal Highness's eldest daughter. He and his daughter are constantly under the spotlight. It's an honor, but at the same time, it's too conspicuous. Lord Lu is capable of protecting his own daughter. If I, a servant, also gave birth to a daughter, I wouldn't have to think about anything else all day long, just worry, and I would be worried to death.
"I think it would be better to have a son. He only needs to be happy every day, doesn't need to learn anything, and when he grows up, he won't fight with his sisters for things."
