The two men fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was better.

Shi Yan was secretly surprised that the other man's skills were so familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

After a moment, he suddenly realized that this man was Shi Jun!

It turned out that the last time the two fought, he found that the martial arts of this fake prince were exactly the same as his own.

Therefore, he deliberately made random moves and played casually.

After a struggle, Shi Jun finally stopped, walked to the window, and whispered, "Is it done?"

Shi Yan replied respectfully, "Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been arranged."

Shi Jun nodded, and then instructed, "Tomorrow, I will give the contraceptive medicine to Concubine Rumors in the name of a reward."

After hearing this, Shi Yan smiled flatteringly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I didn't flirt with Concubine Rumors. I just gave her a love potion to make her mistakenly think that she was favored by Your Highness. In fact, she is still innocent, please rest assured."

Shi Jun showed a satisfied look and praised, "You did a good job, but I don't care whether she is innocent or not. Next time, you can just give her the sterilization medicine to avoid future troubles."

"Next time?"

Shi Yan was surprised and pretended to be incredulous, "Your Highness, why do you have to do this? Concubine Ruo is not bad either..."

Shi Jun glared at him fiercely, "You don't need to know, go down."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Shi Yan wondered why the fake prince had to do this with Pei Ruo. Was it just because Pei Ruo was clinging to her too tightly? But Yi Lan was not willing to be outdone.

Shi Yan returned to his residence, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The fake prince's attitude towards Pei Ruo was really strange, and he even wanted to give her a sterilization drug. Was he afraid that Pei Ruo would get pregnant?

But why on earth was this...

The next morning, just after dawn, Wei Xin came to Yu Nuan Pavilion to pick up Shi Jun. Shi

Jun strode out of the room with a serious look on his face.

Wei Xin did not doubt whether there was any problem with the sleeping arrangement last night.

In the palace of Yu Nuan Pavilion, a maid walked in to serve.

Pei Yao woke up from her sleep in a daze and found herself naked.

She was shocked, but soon realized what this meant, and her face showed an ecstatic expression.

"Congratulations, young lady, for your success in sleeping with the emperor last night." The maid said flatteringly.

Pei Yao was very excited, but she only had a vague memory of what happened last night. She

only remembered that Shi Yan kept pouring wine for her, and then began to touch her body.

Looking down at the red marks on her body, her heart was filled with joy, thinking that these were all traces left by Shi Yan.

Her cheeks flushed with shame, and she smiled shyly.

"Your Highness is quite capable. I knew he liked me." Pei Yu said proudly.

"My young lady is really amazing. Apart from the Crown Princess, you are the first person in the East Palace to sleep with him. Even the Concubine Lan doesn't have this honor!" The maid said enviously.

Pei Yu snorted disdainfully when she heard this: "That little stutterer, who can't even speak clearly, what kind of person is she? How can she be qualified to be the Crown Princess? When I become the Crown Princess, I can be with His Highness anytime and anywhere." The more she thought about it, the more she

felt that she should be the Crown Princess, not that little stutterer.

Pei Yu was immersed in her own fantasy, as if she had seen her bright future after becoming the Crown Princess.

The guard of honor slowly stopped at the door of the Purple Palace, and Shi Jun went straight into the palace.

The whole palace was silent and quiet, and Xu Mian had not woken up yet.

In the back hall, he saw Xu Mian still sleeping soundly on the bed.

He stroked her hair gently and called softly, "Mianmian?"

Xu Mian was awakened, opened her eyes dazedly, and murmured, "Your Highness..."

Shi Jun held her in his arms and asked softly, "Mianmian, I'm sorry, I was busy and couldn't sleep with you last night. Did you sleep well? Does your stomach still hurt?"

Xu Mian knew that Shi Jun had asked Pei Yao to sleep with her last night, so she pretended not to know and replied with a smile, "Very well."

Shi Jun looked at her smile and felt a pang of pain in his heart, wondering if Xu Mian knew that he had asked Pei Yao to sleep with him last night.

"There is still some time before the morning court, I will come to help you wash and wash, and then have breakfast with you."

Xu Mian was not moved when she heard this, but felt a little disgusted.

Is this man feeling guilty?

He spent the whole night with another woman, and in the morning he came back to have breakfast with his wife. What a good husband!

"Okay."

Shi Jun gently wiped Xu Mian's face with a handkerchief, then washed her hands carefully, and finally combed her hair gently, his eyes full of love.

Xu Mian watched all this silently. If Pei Yao hadn't been in bed with her last night, she might have been moved by this tenderness, even intoxicated by it.

But the reality is that this man is the future emperor, with many concubines. She must remind herself to stay awake at all times and never fall into the trap of love.

Xuelian and other maids quickly combed their hair into an exquisite bun, then came over with a makeup box and asked Xu Mian to choose suitable jewelry.

Shi Jun picked up an exquisite butterfly jade hairpin, "Mian Mian, how about wearing this hairpin today?"

Xu Mian did not respond, but concentrated on picking up an eight-treasure dragonfly and crabapple pearl flower and examining it carefully.

This pearl flower was the gift that Shi Yan gave her that day at the Xu Mansion, and told her that it was bought specifically for her.

"Mian Mian, do you want to wear this?" Shi Jun noticed her action and asked.

Xu Mian put down the Eight Treasures Dragonfly Pearl Flower without hesitation and replied, "I don't like it."

I thought Shi Yan would be angry because of this. After all, from childhood to adulthood, as long as he gave Xu Mian anything, if she gave it to someone else or didn't use or eat it, he would get furious. He has always been so overbearing.

But I didn't expect the man in front of me to not get angry at all. Instead, he said, "This pearl flower is very ordinary, just wear this butterfly jade hairpin."

This man has really changed, and it's hard to tell who he is. He hasn't even become the emperor yet, but his heart is hard to predict.

Turning his head, he glanced at Shi Jun with resentment. Shi Jun saw her pouting mouth and felt a little happy. He leaned close to her ear and asked, "Mian Mian, are you jealous because of what happened last night?"

"No."

He held her face and kissed her lips. After letting go, he whispered, "Mian Mian, come back later and I'll tell you the truth. Take good care of yourself today, because we still have the wedding night to make up for."

Xu Mian almost blurted out, "I won't give it to you, you're so dirty!" ~

After Shi Jun went to the morning court, Xu Mian was holding a Persian cat in the yard to bask in the sun and heard the sound of "meow meow meow".

Xu Mian stroked the cat and asked, "Afu, do you... also want to go back... to Penglai Palace?"

At this time, Shi Jun ordered that the Persian cat could only be locked in the west compartment at night and could not enter the palace. Xu Mian felt distressed.

Just as he said this, he felt an object moving from the corner of the room on the steps. He turned around and saw that it was a large blue-green rectangular porcelain basin.

The Persian cat jumped into the porcelain basin and lay down, feeling very comfortable. This is just a cat bed.

"Where did this come from?"

Xu Mian looked towards the side of the palace, and a man's head stuck out, smiling, waved and ran away.

It's him!
