"Is Xi'er blaming me because of that maid's matter?"
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince put down his jade chopsticks, sat upright in his chair, and softly asked the woman, trying to resolve her doubts.
This is how it looks...
One can only say that the crown prince still possesses a certain air of authority.
His aura was not weak, and his questioning carried an imposing presence, which Liu Lingxi perceived as an accusation.
She was so frightened that she dared not tell the truth, for fear of displeasing His Highness the Crown Prince.
As the Crown Princess, she still had to make a living under the Crown Prince's command.
"Your Highness, I dare not and will not blame you for the lingzhi, but I have no appetite."
"You should still use some, otherwise your body won't be able to take it. Look at you, you're so thin."
Sheng Changfeng's gaze lingered on the woman's waist. The palace attire of the Sheng Kingdom consisted of a waist-cinching ruqun, which could perfectly outline a woman's curves.
He secretly shook his head, feeling that his little crown princess was too slender and wondered if she could handle it at night.
Sheng Changfeng never consummated his marriage because a voice in his heart kept telling him to wait for someone.
He didn't know who he was waiting for at first, but the moment he saw his Crown Princess, he knew.
Yes, it's her.
It's strange, but on the wedding day, I personally lifted the Crown Princess's veil, so how could I not recognize her?
How strange!
Liu Lingxi had no idea what kind of nonsense he was thinking. After all, the Crown Prince appeared to be a virtuous and otherworldly gentleman.
Fearing that she might incur His Highness's wrath if she didn't eat, she chose to pick up her jade chopsticks again.
Her posture was undoubtedly beautiful; every move she made was exceptionally elegant, dignified, and serene.
His Highness the Crown Prince was mesmerized. Watching her eat, he felt that the food was even more delicious than usual, and he ate a lot of it as well.
The eunuch who served the meals was a clever man. He noticed that the Crown Prince used the same chopsticks as the Crown Princess.
So later, he would specifically choose the dishes that the Crown Princess had eaten to serve the Crown Prince his meals.
Sure enough, the Crown Prince consumed all of these, exceeding his usual amount of food, which was truly a joyous occasion.
Everyone knows that His Highness the Crown Prince dislikes eating the most. He is self-disciplined and restrained, and he even reflects on whether he has eaten an extra bite.
We can use so much today, all thanks to the Crown Princess!
It seems that the Crown Prince's Palace will soon welcome a young master. I need to be careful not to displease the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess is of immeasurable nobility!
A warm atmosphere spread between the two, and for a moment, there was peace and tranquility.
...
After the two finished their meal, a servant came to report that Lingzhi had been executed.
As Liu Lingxi listened, her hand under the handkerchief suddenly clenched tightly. She felt a mix of emotions, a bittersweet feeling that was hard to bear.
"What are you thinking about? Are you reluctant to part with that maid?"
After Sheng Changfeng dismissed the servants, he saw his Crown Princess staring blankly into space.
Without even thinking, it's obvious that she was beaten to death because of Lingzhi.
His only worry was that his crown princess would be unhappy with him because of this.
"I will not be soft on a servant who betrays his master, but... but Your Highness, will this cause you a reputation for cruelty? It was my fault for not disciplining the servants properly and causing trouble for Your Highness."
Liu Lingxi only just realized that her husband wasn't the emperor yet, but just the crown prince.
Historically, there have been deposed crown princes, and many were even executed by order of the emperor himself.
Although beating a palace servant to death is a minor matter, if it were to be reported by Prince Jing's men, it would displease the Emperor...
Wouldn't that make things worse for me?
"It's alright, I can handle it."
The Crown Prince breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as the Crown Princess was not dissatisfied with him, he could handle the rest.
Before the servants could clear away the leftovers, he got up and went to Liu Lingxi.
Pressing her hand as she tried to get up, Sheng Changfeng squeezed her small hand, leaned down to meet her gaze, and said...
"Don't think about it so much. We've been married for so long, but we haven't consummated our marriage yet. Tonight, I will come to Zhengde Hall and wait for me—"
In the end, Sheng Changfeng even omitted his self-reference and spoke in a slightly low and husky voice, close to her ear.
The man breathed his warm breath on the woman's neck, and seeing that the tips of her ears had turned red, he stood up straight with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, your health..."
"It's alright. It's just the Crown Princess. I can handle it."
With a "boom," Liu Lingxi's mind went blank, and her face turned bright red.
There was nothing she could do; because of the Crown Prince, she remained a virgin until her death in her previous life.
Hearing such teasing words all of a sudden, her carefully guarded heart couldn't take it.
but--
On another note, I never expected that the Crown Prince would change his personality in this second life. Could he also be a reincarnation?
Otherwise, why would His Highness seem like a completely different person? It doesn't make sense.
In my previous life, His Highness the Crown Prince was never so free. He was always engrossed in his study or discussing matters with the Emperor. When did he ever treat me this well?
Could it be that they were truly reborn like me?
Thinking this, Liu Lingxi's flushed face began to cool down little by little, and she took the initiative to probe.
"Does Your Highness know anything about Jiangnan? When I was still a young lady, I longed for the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan."
"I have only heard about it in books and some of my father's memorials, and I have never seen it with my own eyes. Everyone says that the Jiangnan water towns are gentle and romantic. When I have the opportunity to travel there, would you like to take the Crown Princess with me?"
Sheng Changfeng was unaware that his little crown princess was testing him. He was convinced that she had taken a liking to him, and in his excitement, he started rambling on and on.
"Alright, but be careful when you're out and about. Tell the servants to prepare plenty of medicine for colds."
Liu Lingxi didn't detect anything wrong, and her furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
But she couldn't be completely at ease, just in case the Crown Prince hadn't thought of that. So she probed him again.
Um?
Women always think so erratically. Weren't we supposed to be enjoying the scenery? How did we end up talking about catching a cold?
"Silly girl, if you're going to prepare anything, prepare some medicine for water and soil incompatibility and diarrhea. Jiangnan is humid and hot, it's not so easy to catch a cold here."
As Sheng Changfeng spoke, he moved closer and closer to Liu Lingxi, and after he finished speaking, he affectionately touched her face with his hand.
He really liked these little gestures, and they made it easier for women to lower their guard.
Sigh, it's all my fault for neglecting the Crown Princess before. It's not too late to make amends now, is it?
I think so?
Didn't you see the Crown Princess secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and her body was no longer as tense as before?
However, it was impossible for him to imagine that the Crown Princess would mind his unfamiliarity.
She was only temporarily certain that this person had not been reborn, nor had he experienced the same extraordinary adventures as herself.
