He was concerned about the cause of Yue Jiang's abdominal pain and kept staring at Shang Yu.
Suddenly struck by Shang Yu's strange tone and gaze, Jing Yan subconsciously turned to look at Yue Jiang, only to see her half-covering her face with a handkerchief, looking incredibly shy.
When Yue Jiang saw him looking over, she quickly turned away to avoid his gaze. Jing Yan immediately understood the meaning behind their back-and-forth conversation.
He was so embarrassed that he kept opening and closing his lips, but he didn't know what to say!
Why is he in such a hurry?
Even now, Yue Jiang couldn't resist teasing him.
From this, Jing Yan knew that Yue Jiang was alright. He waved for Shang Yu to leave, saying, "That's all for now, you can go back."
Shang Yu felt confused, but obediently packed her things and prepared to leave.
However, as a doctor, he couldn't abandon his medical ethics, so even though it was difficult to speak up before leaving, he gritted his teeth and reminded him.
"Your Highness, we must not rush things."
Shang Yu finished speaking as quickly as possible and ran out of Yichun Palace before Jing Yan's expression completely changed.
After everyone left, only Jingyan and Yuejiang remained in the room. Jingyan chuckled, "Jiang'er, am I getting impatient?"
Yue Jiang didn't reply, but instead knelt down, supporting her belly: "I will punish myself."
Her back trembled violently as she stood up.
Seeing her like this, Jing Yan reached out and pulled her into his arms. After a long while, all the words he wanted to say vanished, leaving only one sentence.
"Never mind, I was wrong this time. I was just talking nonsense."
Yue Jiang shook her head sullenly: "Your Highness is a prince and a phoenix, why should I forgive you? It is Your Highness who has treated me as a spy. I do not know what I have stolen from Your Highness, so why do you suspect me?"
If we're talking about doubts, Jing Yan has many. He even doubts how much Yue Jiang truly cares for him.
"You've stolen so much from me, I can't count it all, but I'm willing to give it to you. Let's not talk about what happened earlier, okay?"
“Really,” Yue Jiang raised her voice, not quite believing it, and spoke to herself while defending herself in her words.
"I don't know where Your Highness heard about espionage, but I really dare not do it, nor would the Yue Kingdom."
“I don’t believe anything else, but Your Highness at least believes in our marital bond. Your Highness has never mistreated me. How could I be a heartless person who would murder my husband?”
“The bond between husband and wife,” Jing Yan pondered Yue Jiang’s words, which sounded quite sweet: “Just as Jiang’er said, we believe in the bond between husband and wife.”
"Your Highness has said so. If there is a next time, Your Highness may strangle me with your own hands. I would rather die than mine," Yue Jiang complained stubbornly from an unknown place.
Jing Yan: "..."
How could Yue Jiang know that at some point in the past, he had the idea of having Yue Jiang mine?
Jing Yan nodded in agreement: "You can't dig it up either, it would be a waste of my food."
Upon hearing this, Yue Jiang was as if she had heard a strange tale. She asked doubtfully, "Is the food at the mine better than that at the Eastern Palace?"
“No,” Jing Yan denied, then said seriously, “But Jiang’er is more useful in the Eastern Palace than in the mine. Jiang’er will surprise me every day in the Eastern Palace.”
Yue Jiang: "..."
It seemed like they were mocking her.
"Your Highness, I still want to make friends and invite people to the palace," Yue Jiang returned to the main topic.
It's just a woman from the Moon Kingdom. Jing Yan shouldn't be so paranoid. It's also a good opportunity to see what Yue Jiangfei wants to do by contacting the woman from the Moon Kingdom.
"good."
“We need to write an invitation,” Yue Jiang emphasized. As Jing Yan continued to nod in agreement, Yue Jiang swung her wrist and complained.
"Your Highness almost pinned such a serious crime on me just now. I'm still hesitant. I need Your Highness to write the invitation for me."
Jing Yan was stunned.
Not only would he have to watch his Crown Princess bring a woman from the Moon Kingdom who had concealed her identity into the Eastern Palace, but he would also personally invite her in.
"Your Highness, is this small favor really that difficult?" Yue Jiang couldn't hear Jing Yan speak for a long time.
Jing Yan gritted his teeth and agreed: "Fine, I'll write it for you."
Yue Jiang needed the invitation urgently, so Jing Yan immediately found a pen and ink to write it down. After it was finished, Yue Jiang had someone deliver it outside the palace.
...
The Cheng family.
The invitation from the Crown Prince quickly reached the stringed musicians. It was a personal invitation from His Highness the Crown Prince, which made the Cheng family very happy. They all said that the stringed musicians were very lucky.
Amidst the congratulations of a group of younger members of the Cheng family, Cheng Suyun snorted and left.
Seeing that Cheng Suyun had left, Xian Ge dismissed the flattering voices around her and chased after Cheng Suyun.
"Princess, please slow down, be careful not to fall while walking too fast."
Cheng Suyun disliked string music, and now she disliked it even more.
"Whether I fall or not is none of your business. Don't think that getting a letter will solve everything. You're nothing more than a plaything that His Highness summoned for the Crown Princess."
“Princess, why say such harsh words? I thought you hadn’t read the post carefully, but it turns out you did, which is why you’re so angry,” Xiange slowed down, deliberately provoking Cheng Suyun.
Cheng Suyun stopped in her tracks, and not only that, she turned back with a fierce expression, slapping Xiange across the face, causing blood to flow from the corner of Xiange's mouth.
"So you can't hide your true colors anymore, huh? You've just gotten a taste of success and you dare to challenge me. I'd like to see if you can become my concubine."
Xian Ge slowly lowered the corners of her mouth, remaining calm and composed, and instead worried about Cheng Suyun.
"Princess, whether I become a concubine or not is the path the Cheng family has set for me. I have no room to resist, so I can only do my best."
“I feel sorry for the princess. You are, after all, a princess of the Cheng family. No young man or woman here is as noble as you. Why are you being forced into marriage every day?”
"If Xiange can really speak with the Crown Prince, he must be asking His Highness to take the princess as a concubine."
“You still want to help me?” Cheng Suyun hesitated, but then resigned herself to her fate.
"His Highness the Crown Prince will not give me a chance; I am destined not to enter the Eastern Palace."
Since being driven out of the palace by Jing Yan, Cheng Suyun has not entered the palace for a long time, nor has she even left her residence.
