Back in her room, Xue sat down at the table and realized she felt like a deserter. She could tell the Crown Prince had something to say, and she believed he already knew what was going on, but she didn't want to listen.
She didn't know what the Crown Prince would say, nor could she tell if he was telling the truth. She didn't want to be deceived again!
She genuinely felt that she, a modern person, was no match for the ancient people here. All those novels she had read where the heroines easily subdued the ancient people, effortlessly navigated relationships, and dominated the world were lies.
All she knew were the knowledge she had learned and the experience she had accumulated in life. In ancient times, people not only had to learn knowledge, but also had to learn power and strategy. She was truly ashamed of herself for not being as good as them.
"Sigh!" Xue slumped onto the table without any regard for her image, wondering if she would ever be able to go back. She thought about everyone in the modern world, and even found her unscrupulous boss, who always oppressed her, quite adorable.
Nanxing and Xiabing were making up the bed for Hexue. They now realized what was going on. Hexue wasn't sleepy at all; she was just hiding from the Crown Prince.
"Princess, are you avoiding the Crown Prince? What happened between you and the Crown Prince?" Nanxing asked, looking at Hexue who seemed preoccupied.
"Sigh! It's a long story!" He Xue said, looking up.
Nanxing and Xiabing were amused by Hexue's appearance. They didn't understand what worries a little child like Hexue could have, and Hexue didn't offer much explanation.
"Princess, the bed is made! Do you want to sleep?" Nanxing asked.
"Sleep!" Xue said. She'd already said she was going to sleep; how could she not? Otherwise, she'd be so embarrassed!
Xue lay in bed and started making pancakes. She really couldn't sleep, and she was feeling a little hungry.
Xia Bing was on night watch, so she naturally heard He Xue tossing and turning.
Xia Bing got up and turned on the light. "Princess, can't you sleep?"
He Xue poked her head out from behind the curtains and said pitifully, "Xia Bing, I'm hungry!"
Seeing He Xue's appearance, Xia Bing immediately said, "Princess, this servant will go to the small kitchen to get you some food!"
"Is there still food left in the small kitchen at this hour?" He Xue asked.
"Aunt Rendong told me that Her Highness the Imperial Concubine was worried that you might be hungry, so she specially saved some food for you in the small kitchen!"
"Alright, go ahead!" He Xue jumped off the bed; she was starving!
If she had known this would happen, she would have eaten no matter what. You can't go wrong with food! People are made of iron, and food is essential; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal!
Xia Bing quickly brought over the food: a bowl of chicken and bamboo shoot porridge, a dish of braised fish maw with ham, a dish of Wensi tofu, a dish of plum blossom buns, and a bowl of rice.
He Xue couldn't help but exclaim that this was much better than the takeout she used to order!
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Xue walked around the house for another fifteen minutes before going back to bed.
Xue was fast asleep, but the Crown Prince was wide awake!
Xue isn't even giving him a chance to speak now, what should we do?
Looking at the Crown Prince's worried expression, He Zhu could guess what was wrong. The only thing that could make his Crown Prince look like this was He Xue Gege.
In Chengqian Palace, he also noticed He Xue's attitude towards the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was on the verge of exploding at any moment. In order to make his future days easier, he also began to think of ways to help the Crown Prince so that He Xue could reconcile with the Crown Prince as soon as possible.
“Your Highness, you can send the princess some things she likes! You need to find an opportunity to see the princess first, only then can you explain things clearly to her!” He Zhu said.
The Crown Prince thought about it and agreed. He decided to send some gifts first to soften Xue's attitude, and then find an opportunity to explain.
"Alright, this time you've finally given me a useful solution. Let's go!"
"Your Highness, where are we going now?" He Zhu asked in surprise, as curfew had already been imposed.
"Of course we're going to find something for He Xue! Hurry up!" the Crown Prince urged. If he weren't used to He Zhu, he would really want to replace him; he always seemed so absent-minded!
"Yes, Your Highness, I'll be right there!" He Zhu resignedly followed the Crown Prince to the storeroom in the middle of the night to find something.
