Bai Bingjing decided that the next time her grandfather went to the palace, she would follow him.
After not seeing him for a few years, what has the prince become? He even deserves such praise from his grandfather.
She was also prepared to muster up the courage to test it out. If it was the prince... that would be great. She was the future crown princess by right. No matter if she cried or apologized, or even begged the emperor, she would find a way to keep this position.
As for what the prince was thinking, she didn't care for the time being. She just wanted to preserve her own future and the supreme power.
As for men, when the time comes, you can say nice things, coax her, let her cry, and lie to her that she was forced to do it. If that doesn't work, try harder in sex. He is so innocent in matters between men and women that he will always fall in love with her again.
Coincidentally, that day, the emperor summoned the old general to the palace to play chess again.
These days, the emperor has basically been able to get out of bed and move around, but he is still a little weak. With the crown prince taking care of the government affairs, he is at ease to continue recuperating. When he has time, he calls some old friends over to reminisce, chat, and play chess.
Bai Bingjing whined and acted coquettishly with her grandfather for a while, and then naturally followed him into the palace.
As soon as she entered the palace, a secret guard came to inform Xia Muyan. Xia Muyan nodded and asked the secret guard to continue to pay attention to her every move.
After Bai Bingjing followed her grandfather to pay respects to the emperor, she received the emperor's pardon and went to stroll around the Imperial Garden and other places.
At that time, Xia Muyan was still dealing with state affairs and had not returned.
As she strolled around, she came to the vicinity of the East Palace. She peeked inside through the fence and happened to see a somewhat familiar figure - when the weather was good, Li Shushu would come to the yard accompanied by the palace maids to walk around, enjoy the flowers and cool off.
"Li Shushu?" She was a little confused. Shouldn't Li Shushu be in the Third Prince's residence? Why was he in the Eastern Palace?
But she couldn't see clearly because they were far away, and the man went into the room.
She wanted to follow in to see what was going on, but was stopped at the door by a palace servant: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has stipulated that no one is allowed to enter without his permission!"
"How dare you! I'm the future Crown Princess, and I can't even go in?" Bai Bingjing tried to intimidate others.
But the guard had received strict orders from the prince, so he didn't dare to disobey. "Sorry!"
"You!" Bai Bingjing was so angry that she turned around and left. She wanted to go to her grandfather to complain and ask the emperor to support her, but she met Prince Xia Muyan who had just left the court in the imperial garden.
After not seeing him for over three years, he had grown more mature and stronger. In his dark court robes, he looked even more noble and radiant.
What remained unchanged was his usual indifferent expression towards her.
Thinking back to the past, when she first fell in love, she was also attracted by the prince's handsome appearance, but the prince was always cold and distant to her. Later, the imperial concubine called her over and told her that the prince had a hidden illness. Only then did she finally know the reason for the prince's coldness.
This made her completely give up and turn to the arms of the third prince.
Now when I see him again and think that he may have recovered, my heart starts pounding again.
She tidied up the loose hair on her temples, pulled a strand of hair from her back to her chest, played with it with both hands, and slithered in front of Xia Muyan, saying in a strangled voice, "Brother Crown Prince, long time no see!"
Xia Muyan frowned: Why did I run into her here? Bad luck.
He held his head high, walked around the man as if he hadn't heard him, and continued to stride towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Bai Bingjing was not discouraged. Thinking about what she had said and done before, she felt that the prince's current attitude towards her was already good and was within her expectations.
"Brother Crown Prince, what a coincidence! Are you going to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity? I'm also going there to see Grandpa. How about going together?" She continued to strike up a conversation.
Xia Muyan's face was indifferent, with a hint of impatience.
This person could no longer disturb his mood, but he still felt annoyed by the buzzing around him like a fly. He winked at his father-in-law Wang An beside him.
Wang An was a shrewd man. He immediately understood what she meant and reached out to block her way. He said with a smile, "Miss Bai, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something important to think about right now. You'd better stay away from her for now and don't disturb her. If His Royal Highness gets angry, we won't be able to end it well, right?"
Bai Bingjing looked embarrassed when she heard this.
However, she soon realized that there was a lot of resentment in the past, and it would not be easy to make the prince change his mind now. There was a long time to come, so there was no need to rush.
So, she continued to play with the hair on her chest for a few times, turned around charmingly and said: "Forget it, I haven't been to the palace for a long time. The flowers in the imperial garden are blooming brightly. I want to enjoy them for a while longer, so I won't go with you." She found a suitable step and slipped away quickly.
Xia Muyan had already walked a long way away. Knowing that there were secret guards watching him, he was too lazy to pay attention to her...
Who would have thought that Bai Bingjing would wander around and somehow end up wandering to the imperial kitchen...
