Yue Jiang: "..."
Hmph, she's not clingy anymore; she's already dug herself out of the mining business.
"Your Highness, I didn't realize I was so tactless. I'll be more careful in the future and won't bother you anymore."
She placed her hands on Jing Yan's chest, making a pushing motion.
Jing Yan knew she was deliberately playing hard to get, so he pressed down on Yue Jiang's hand and wanted to kiss her lips.
Yue Jiang did not refuse, but just as the two were about to deepen their kiss, they were about to kiss again.
Yue Jiang hissed softly again.
Jing Yan instantly regained his senses and looked at Yue Jiang. Yue Jiang touched her abdomen and mimicked Jing Yan's earlier moans and groans, then turned to Jing Yan with a serious expression.
"The child said that his father is too clingy and that he doesn't want his father to cling to his mother, otherwise his mother's heart will beat too fast and the child will not be able to sleep because of the noise."
Jing Yan: "..."
"I see that the months are getting longer and the baby is growing well in your belly, and I can't wait to come out."
Yue Jiang asked with a smile, "Isn't Your Highness eager to get started?"
Jing Yan's gaze suddenly warmed, and he said in a gentle voice, "I look forward to it."
***
After Yue Jiang and Jing Yan "opened up" about Xiange's intentions, Jing Yan stopped being suspicious. Of course, this was also because Jing Yan knew that Xiange had set her sights on Rong Ying.
Instead of guessing the other party's intentions, it's better to let Rong Ying lure the snake out of its hole.
When Xiange came to the East Palace again, Jingyan told him in advance that Xiange had taken a liking to Rongying.
Rong Ying laughed upon hearing this, not taking it to heart.
"As I have already said, the women kept by the Yue Kingdom are not sincere. They can put on a show of deep affection and loyalty, but it is all just to achieve their own goals."
"It's hard to say that using admiration for me as an excuse is not to hide anything. I will remember to keep my distance from Miss Xiange."
Jing Yan: "I also remember you saying that women like them don't have much ill intentions, they're just trying to survive, especially since this girl, Xian Ge, looks a lot like someone from your past."
"You have such respect for that old friend, so why do you avoid this woman who expresses her love for you like the plague? Isn't it all a lie? Are you afraid you won't be able to control yourself?"
Rong Ying mocked, "Your Highness, don't try to provoke me. Have you managed to control your feelings for the Crown Princess?"
“Your Highness, the Crown Princess is different from Xiange. The Crown Princess has the important task of a political marriage and will be your wife for the rest of her life. She has no way to regret it. Therefore, whether she is sincere or not is irrelevant to the overall situation and you don’t need to care about it.”
"This string..."
"I'm a little bothered by it."
Rong Ying's words made Jing Yan slightly uncomfortable. Yue Jiang was now his wife and his Crown Princess, that was true, and on the surface, they were very much in love.
If Yue Jiang's behavior was merely a pretense, it means that her life in the Yue Kingdom was indeed beyond her control, and she shouldn't be blamed.
Jingyan often heard people say that the imperial family is cold-hearted, which is not surprising. But the imperial family also gets angry, upset, happy, and cries. If they are completely devoid of the seven emotions and six desires, they are just a cold and indifferent shell, not even as good as a clay or wooden sculpture.
From the fact that Qian Yan's various emotions were all under his control, and that he was in a space he could manage, it proved that he was a living, breathing person.
Of all the emotions, love that arises suddenly is the last to arrive and the most difficult to control, so much so that it gradually grows into countless threads.
Jing Yan, without knowing when, took root in a piece of soil, and at first he enjoyed the stability brought by this fertile soil.
But as he grew more determined to stay and settle down, he discovered that beneath this fertile soil lay cold, hard earth with little vitality.
Yuejiang was like that seemingly fertile but actually cold and hard soil. She gave Jingyan the opportunity to develop and experience love, but she herself could never find the softest spot in her heart.
But Jingyan firmly believes that Yuejiang's occasional vibrant side is real, and she is by no means a heartless fake person.
Jingyan cares about the big picture, but also wants to care a little about her own heart.
“Jiang’er, she is not a symbol of marriage alliance, she is my wife.”
Rong Yingwei was stunned for a long time. When he came to his senses, he could only helplessly advise, "Your Highness, be careful not to hurt yourself."
"This Xian Ge's intentions are unclear, and he has appeared in public as a member of the Cheng family. It would be better to be cautious."
He fell silent again, looking up at the sky and mocking himself: "What love and admiration? I am not worthy of meeting you in this life. But since that girl, Xian Ge, keeps saying that she has feelings for me, I will try to understand her feelings. What exactly does she want to do?"
After all, Rong Ying was Jing Yan's strategist. Now that a spy had specifically mentioned liking him, he wanted to see what benefits that woman wanted to gain from him.
After they finished talking outside, the two went to Yichun Palace together.
In order to reduce the sensitivity surrounding Xiange's family background, Yuejiang confessed Xiange's "feelings" to Jingyan.
In front of Xiange, she also mentioned the possibility that Jingyan had told Rongying what he knew.
Upon hearing this, Xian Ge was not worried at all; on the contrary, she was even happier.
“Then I would be very happy if His Highness the Crown Prince told Rong Ying. He was very cautious and tactful in his interactions with me. I had long planned to express my feelings first, but I was just worried about how to find an opportunity to say it.”
"If he finds out now, as long as he doesn't avoid me, I have plenty of ways to cling to him."
Xiange spoke with great confidence, so Yuejiang had no worries at all. She simply encouraged him, "In that case, I wish you success soon."
When Yue Jiang picked up her teacup and looked up again, she saw Jing Yan approaching with Rong Ying in the distance, and immediately signaled to Xiange.
"His Highness has brought Rongying."
At this moment, Xiange turned around without any hesitation and glanced at Rongying a few times, showing a kind of fearlessness as if she had broken through the window paper.
From a distance, Rong Ying saw Xiange looking at him, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, revealing a lazy smile, as if she were looking at prey.
