"You'll be bored if you keep me company... won't you be bored if you keep me company? I'm naturally active and can't stand being still, so what? Is that not allowed?"
"Oh! If that's the case, Qinglong probably won't be back so soon. Then how about we..."
As Qin Mohan spoke, he moved closer.
"Hey, Qin Mohan, don't push your luck!" Ye Qingcheng said, taking two steps back.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking? I was just saying, since you're bored, how about Your Highness plays a game of chess with me?"
"Playing chess?"
"That's right."
After listening, Ye Qingcheng pondered for a moment and nodded: "Alright, since I'm free anyway, I'll play a game with you!"

They said they heard the Seventh Prince call that woman "Princess Consort," and the Crown Prince also called her "Sister-in-law."
"Huh? My sister-in-law? Could she really be my mentally unstable younger sister?"
As Ye Qingyao spoke, she stood up, ignored the servant, and went straight out the door.
Seeing this, the maids behind her quickly followed.
