The prince's clear and gentle voice rang in the woman's ear, his deep tone revealing an ambiguous undertone.
He only felt like joking after he saw Liu Lingxi's complexion return to normal after the fish was removed.
The purpose, of course, was to make the Crown Princess happy.
This prompted Liu Lingxi to glare at him irritably, then she turned her head away awkwardly, refusing to look at him.
"Xi'er, don't be angry. Getting angry will harm your health."
"snort."
For some reason, Liu Lingxi's temper has been a bit strange lately, and she often throws tantrums at the Crown Prince.
When they're fooling around at night, she'll ignore him because he doesn't know his own limits.
However, the Crown Prince never took it to heart, only coaxing him gently, and then they would continue playing around, over and over again.
Seeing his little crown princess throwing a tantrum again, he found her even more adorable.
So our esteemed Crown Prince condescended to plead for mercy in the woman's ear in a soft and gentle voice.
"Alright, don't be angry anymore. I'll let you get your revenge tonight, okay? My little Crown Princess~"
"You still dare to say that..."
The woman seemed to be amused; her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her small mouth pursed, and tears welled up in her large eyes.
Seeing that his casual words had almost made someone cry, the crown prince panicked instantly.
He quickly pulled her into his arms, gently cupping her cheeks with his large hands, and coaxed her anxiously.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Please don't cry, okay, Xi'er? My dear Xi'er, I will never say anything out of line again."
"Your Highness always loves to tease me."
Liu Lingxi didn't believe his nonsense. He had broken his promise countless times before, even for the last time that night.
The crown prince knew that the young woman in his arms was not easy to fool, so this time he racked his brains and came up with a good idea.
"How about I take you out of the palace to play today?"
Although your parents-in-law are no longer here, Grandmother Liu said there's still a room for you, presumably because she wants you to come back and visit often.
"Has Your Highness visited your grandmother?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Lingxi indeed raised her head and looked at the Crown Prince, her small hands tightly gripping his collar.
It wasn't that Liu Lingxi didn't want to go back, but rather that there was really no one in the Liu family worth missing.
My grandparents had few children and their relationship was strained. While my grandfather was still alive, my grandmother had already moved to her maternal family home.
Although there was no divorce, it was almost the same as a divorce.
Liu Lingxi had hardly ever met this grandmother from birth to adulthood.
The Liu family now has no one left to manage the household except for a few concubines left by the father and a few illegitimate sons who are not yet grown up.
Her mother had unfortunately died of an illness when she was only seven years old.
So, whether in her past life or this one, although she was pampered and spoiled growing up, but—
As she grew up, she lost almost all the relatives who loved her, leaving her in a state of loneliness and helplessness.
"real?"
Seeing the woman finally stop crying and start smiling, the crown prince breathed a sigh of relief and quickly assured her.
"Of course, once the imperial physician has checked that you are alright, I will take you out to play immediately."
Xiao Changzi only regretted that he had ears, because even when his head was almost buried in the ground, he could still hear.
He only glanced at it once before immediately lowering his head.
So the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are this doting in private?
No wonder no matter how those women tried to seduce him, his prince just wouldn't fall for it.
Indeed, during this month of accompanying the Crown Prince to visit those officials, it was inevitable that we would encounter some beautiful women who admired His Highness.
Some will boldly express their love, while others will gaze at His Highness the Crown Prince with tender eyes.
But His Highness remained unmoved and simply turned and left when he encountered them.
Most women are shy, like Miss Hong and Miss Li. After two subtle and direct rejections, they understood and wouldn't be so tactless as to keep trying.
Only Miss Shen is truly bold enough to relentlessly intercept her own young master.
Even if the crown prince made his words very clear, it would be meaningless.
Therefore, what Your Highness fears most is visiting General Shen's house.
He had been wondering why His Highness wasn't interested in those women.
Although they were not as stunningly beautiful as the Crown Princess, they were still rare beauties.
Moreover, a woman like Miss Shen is heroic, straightforward, and bold, a completely different type from the Crown Princess.
Now, seeing the Crown Princess and witnessing their interactions—
He thought he probably understood something.
Some people are worth cherishing for a lifetime, and you wouldn't bear to see them even frown.
Just as he was lost in thought, while over there the Crown Prince had successfully appeased the Crown Princess—
The imperial physician finally arrived.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Crown Princess."
"No need for formalities, Imperial Physician Wang. Quickly examine the Crown Princess; she almost vomited just from the smell of fish."
Upon seeing Physician Wang, the Crown Prince quickly instructed him to examine his Crown Princess's pulse.
He still trusted the medical skills of Physician Wang.
It was because of his meticulous care when I was a child that I was able to escape death.
Without wasting any words, Physician Wang took out a medicinal pillow, spread a silk handkerchief on it, and began to carefully examine the patient's pulse.
It's unclear what pulse he sensed, but his brow furrowed deeply, and his entire body stiffened.
Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the pulse diagnosis results.
Yeats clenched his fingers nervously, fearing that his guess might be wrong.
