Wei Hanzhang ignored his question and buried her face in his arms, feeling happy in her heart, "You have to do this in the future. Don't give other women any chance to get close to you. Do you understand?"

"Okay, just let Ranran hold me like this." Xiao Junzhan was very good at coaxing people, and asked with a low smile: "Your seventh sister is not here, and everyone in the palace is ours, so no one will leak the news. Can I stay tonight?"

“…No, no.” Wei Hanzhang did not respond. He immediately sat up straight and said seriously, “Go back quickly.”

Xiao Junzhan didn't force her, he just kissed her forehead lovingly, took a step back and said, "Then Ranran, can you continue to come to Chengming Palace to find me tomorrow?"

Unable to refuse again and again, Wei Hanzhang hesitated and asked, "Will it affect your handling of government affairs?"

"No, it just so happens that the study room needs a beautiful lady to accompany me." Xiao Junzhan smiled slightly and coaxed in a gentle voice: "Just like in the Yanwang Mansion, can Ranran come to accompany me?"

Thinking of the days when they were together day and night, Wei Hanzhang also felt a little nostalgic. She looked up and kissed him, then nodded in agreement.

Xiao Junzhan reached out and stroked the chin that was kissed. His smile became even more intense. He pressed her down and kissed her gently back, not wanting to leave at all.

It was not until she urged him several times that he reluctantly left.

As soon as everyone left, Wei Hanzhang went into the bathroom. Today he had been to his mother's courtyard and Chengming Palace, and he was already tired.

When she came out of the bathroom, Luzhu and Lulan were already waiting outside. Seeing that her master's hair was wet, they hurried over to wring out her hair.

Wei Hanzhang folded his hands on the dressing table, rested his chin on his arms, half-closed his eyes and let his personal maid serve him. He said lazily: "Lüzhu, remember to send someone to tell mother tomorrow morning that I can't go."

"I know," Luzhu paused for a moment while twisting her hair, and said with a smile, "If Madam asks, I will say that the young lady went to Chengde Palace."

Wei Hanzhang raised his eyes lazily and snorted, "Don't tease me."

Lu Zhu smiled and admitted her mistake: "Yes, I dare not do it again."

Looking at her expression, it’s obvious…she’ll dare to do it again next time.

Wei Hanzhang glanced at her helplessly. He was really sleepy and didn't want to say much. But he saw that Lulan on the other side hadn't moved for a long time, with shy eyes, looking at his neck.

"What's wrong?" Wei Hanzhang sat up straight, turned his head to look at his neck in the bronze mirror, and was suddenly shocked.

Then his face suddenly turned red.

...No wonder she clearly felt some pain, but he said he didn't bite her!

He didn't bite, but he...

Wei Hanzhang pulled his hair to cover his neck and said, "Don't tell anyone. Just pretend you didn't see it, okay?"

Luzhu and Lulan responded in unison.

"Young lady," Lu Lan moved her lips as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, but she still tried to persuade him: "The wedding date has not been decided yet, young lady, you..."

"I know!" Wei Hanzhang said angrily, "He wants to bite me, what can I do?"

"..." Lu Lan also blushed and said no more.

Yes, no matter what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do, even the Master and the Madam can’t stop him.

Wei Hanzhang looked at himself in the bronze mirror again and again. The mark was indeed very obvious and could only be covered with his hair.

Fortunately, although she is now engaged, she still wears her hair in a girl's hairstyle.

However, she was still a little annoyed. This was the first time that Xiao Boqian left a mark on her body. They had quarreled too much before, and he had never bitten her neck.

Wei Hanzhang decided to go to him tomorrow to ask for an explanation. He lay on the bed. With this thought in mind, he felt sleepy and slowly closed his eyes.

Late at night, in the main hall of Qixiang Palace, everything was quiet.

Insect repellent and soothing spices were burning in the hall, so there were no mosquitoes. The girl on the bed in the inner room was sleeping soundly.

The gauze curtains in the outer ventilation room were blown by the wind, adding a sweet rusty smell to the air.

………………

The next day, when Wei Hanzhang woke up, it was already bright.

I propped myself up on the bed and sat up. Although I had a good dream last night, I felt my neck was sore and my whole body was weak.

She reached out and slowly pressed her slightly sore neck, frowned and called Luzhu and Lulan in.

"Eunuch Ninghai came here early this morning," Luzhu said as she gently combed her master's hair, "He said that His Highness summoned several ministers to discuss matters this morning, so I'm afraid he won't have time to have breakfast with you. Miss, you can have breakfast before coming over."

Hearing this, Wei Hanzhang was slightly stunned, and after a long while he said, "Go out and tell him that I won't go over."

Luzhu was surprised, and so was Lulan, who was choosing clothes nearby. They looked over here in surprise, "Didn't the girl say yesterday..."

"Well, I've changed my mind." Wei Hanzhang looked down at the black jade in the dressing box and said calmly, "Let's go to my mother's place."

Her expression was calm, but the two maids who grew up with her were even more surprised.

Lu Lan was a little worried and asked, "What's wrong with the girl?"

I was still so sweet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last night, why did it become cold overnight...

"What else can I do? I just think your advice last night was right," Wei Hanzhang looked at the marks on his neck in the bronze mirror and pursed his lips and said, "It's too reckless to be together every day before getting married."

"But..." Lu Zhu said carefully: "But you have a good relationship with His Highness, which is a good thing."

"No need to say more. Just assume that I was possessed by a ghost and lost my mind, but now I am sober."

Wei Hanzhang picked a golden hairpin and put it on himself, then ordered: "If he comes over in the future, you all must stay in the palace, and you are not allowed to leave us alone. Do you understand?"

Luzhu and Lulan looked at each other and responded in a low voice.

……………………

Inside Chengming Hall.

After the ministers left, Xiao Junzhan stood quietly by the window for a while. He waited for a long time, but no one came. He gradually felt uneasy.

After thinking for a moment, I felt that I was too nervous.

He sat back at the imperial desk, holding the memorial and began to review it, but his eyes kept glancing towards the door.

Not long after, Ning Hai walked in with sweat on his forehead, and there was no one behind him.

Xiao Junzhan's heart sank slightly, and he said, "Didn't I tell you to wait for Ranran to come together? Where is she?"

"This..." Ning Hai hesitated, bowed his head and said, "Maybe something happened... Miss Wei decided to go to the outer city on a whim."

"Ran Ran told you this?" Xiao Junzhan frowned slightly and asked in a worried tone, "Did he tell you what happened?"

"It was Miss Wei's maid who said that." Ning Hai forced a smile and said, "I have not seen the young lady herself."

Hearing this, Xiao Junzhan paused and said, "Did I make her angry again?"

...How would I know?

Ning Hai said carefully: "It shouldn't be. Didn't Miss Wei come to see you yesterday?"

Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes and said nothing, thinking back to when they separated last night, they were so affectionate with each other that he indeed did not offend the girl.
