Chapter 364 Responsibility
Summer came fiercely, and Bei Jingchu changed into summer clothes.
For summer he only wore a set of inner garments and a thin gauze jacket, without any outer robe, so his arms were completely exposed.
In midsummer, even if you put an ice basin indoors to cool down, it can't keep away the scorching heat.
So I took off my jacket and left my arms to my shoulders open to let the heat dissipate.
Therefore, outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, especially in summer.
As the crown prince, he had no choice but to come into contact with ministers of the opposite sex. Bei Jingchu also had no intention of challenging the secular world in an unnecessary place, so he placed a nanmu screen in front of the table. The female ministers sat inside with the crown prince, and the others sat outside.
The figures behind were tightly concealed, and only the sound of their conversation could be heard.
Bei Hua secretly looked at the muscle textures on her cousin and Nian'er's arms that appeared when they exerted force, and then flicked her own soft arm flesh.
Wow~jealousy.
They both have the beauty of healthy and regular menstruation, which is hard to envy. Beihua is really a novice when it comes to practicing martial arts herself.
After Commander Lei was punished last time, everyone discovered that Commander Jiang Longshou of the Zuowei Army had caught the prince's attention and became a favorite minister who served alongside Lei Nian'er.
Xu Chengxuan gritted his teeth and whispered, "Ahhhhh, I wasn't paying attention, and this seductive bitch showed up out of nowhere!"
As everyone expected, Lei Nian'er and Jiang Longshou had a rather hostile relationship.
A normal monarch would not want his ministers to be too united and friendly, and Bei Jingchu was happy to see it happen, but she did not understand where the conflict between the two came from.
Nian'er is not a power-hungry person, and Long Shou would not go right away and cause trouble for his senior.
Were these two people putting on an act for her in order to allay her doubts?
In response, Long Shou said, "I don't know. Commander Lei doesn't cause me trouble in official matters, but when he sees me in private, he treats me like an enemy."
As a good friend, Bei Jingchu cares about Lei Nian'er's mental health and asks Long Shou how he offended her.
"Do you still mind that she took half of your authority?"
Bei Jingchu couldn't explain that as her white glove, Jiang Longshou had paid a great price. In Nian'er's perspective, he had divided her power as soon as he came, so Nian'er couldn't blame her, and it made sense for her to vent her anger on the beneficiary.
Nian'er rolled her eyes unhappily and said, "I'm not that stingy. It's just that he's a new colleague who helps me share my work. The reason I don't like him is that he looks at you in the wrong way."
"The way he looks at you is not innocent at all. Don't think I can't see what this kid is up to."
Bei Jingchu laughed: "You haven't even gotten married yet, how can you tell what he's thinking?"
"Do you understand why military advisors don't go to the battlefield? Haven't you seen a pig run before even if you've eaten pork? You owe the world a lot of money for being so careless every day, and not caring about the foolish men and women around you. I've witnessed a lot of right and wrong things."
"He just covets you! I will keep an eye on him and will never let you suffer any loss!"
Bei Jingchu felt that there was an important question: "But... I won't take the blame. I'm still young, I can control myself. Even if I really slept with her, so what? If I'm not happy, I won't be responsible."
Lei Nian'er: "......Ah?"
She blinked her eyes, pointed at Bei Jingchu, and then pointed outside.
"you......"
"he......"
"You're responsible? Shouldn't he be responsible?"
Bei Jingchu was also confused: "Then it must be my responsibility, how can I, the prince, marry him?
