The next day, Duan Gouqiong ordered the people in the Prince's Mansion to pack her things. She felt very upset because Shao Lecheng ignored her yesterday, so she didn't want to stay in Xianchang any longer.
Ni Yueshan heard that Duan Gouqiong was packing up and went to see her.
"You're leaving now? Without saying goodbye in person?"
Duan Gouqiong pouted and looked away: "No, no, it's not like I'm not wanted. Why would I take the initiative like this, and still have to face his arrogant, cold face!"
"If you give up now, wouldn't that be a bit too much? We can continue to persevere..."
If Jing Yuchen had given up at the beginning, she and Jing Yuchen would not be where they are now!
Duan Gouqiong sat on the chair angrily: "No, no, I am still a princess after all. How can I be so humble as to beg a man to like me?"
Ni Yueshan was stunned. Duan Gouqiong wanted to have something with Shao Lecheng, but she always felt that she was of noble status. It was already embarrassing for him to pursue her, and he was so disrespectful. How could she have the face to keep pestering him?
"Understand."
Ni Yueshan asked the kitchen to prepare a table full of delicious food for Duan Gouqiong. "These are all Xianchang's specialties. I know you, Canglie, like to eat roast lamb. You can try them carefully. If you think they are delicious, you can stay for them!"
Ni Yueshan persuaded him patiently, and Duan Gouqiong nodded lightly, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Jing Yuchen sat aside without saying a word, just silently picking up some food for Ni Yueshan.
Duan Gouqiong lowered her eyes and said with disdain, "Don't show off your affection in front of this princess!"
She angrily stretched her chopsticks towards Ni Yueshan's bowl and stuffed all the dishes that Jing Yuchen had picked for Ni Yueshan into her mouth, regardless of whether she liked it or not.
Ni Yueshan was somewhat helpless, and Jing Yuchen also stopped obediently.
After finishing the meal, Duan Gouqiong touched his round belly and burped.
"Oh my, I'm so full! I have to leave tomorrow, and I have to go to the palace to report to the emperor!"
"Let me take you there!"
In the carriage, Duan Gouqiong kept looking outside and asked curiously, "Will he one day become a prince and meet me in Canglie?"
Ni Yueshan looked at Duan Gouqiong's lost figure, with a hint of heartache in his eyes: "Yes!"
Duan Gouqiong's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked, "Really?"
Ni Yueshan said this mostly to comfort her, but she wasn't sure whether it would work or not.
"If you want that day to come, mention it to the Emperor today when you're on this trip with him!"
Duan Gouqiong showed an expression of sudden realization: "I see, I understand!"
In the southern study of the imperial palace, the moment the emperor saw Duan Gouqiong, he felt a headache.
"I seem to have said that if the princess wants to find me, she can ask someone from the Crown Prince's Mansion to deliver a message. It's easy for you to go to the palace so frequently..."
"I know it's easy for people to doubt my identity!" Duan Gouqiong took over the conversation, then sighed and said, "However, Your Majesty, don't worry. This is the last time I will ask to see you."
The emperor was surprised by Duan Gouqiong's words, "What do you mean?"
"I now know who killed my followers, so I plan to return home and will not come to Xianchang again. Isn't this the last time?"
The emperor showed a look of surprise, and Duan Gouqiong continued, "Your Majesty, although this princess is leaving, I still can't bear to leave Xianchang! Whether it's the food in Xianchang, the entertainment, or the people in Xianchang, this princess can't bear to leave any of them!"
"But if I don't return to Canglie anytime soon, my father will be worried. So I have no choice but to go back first! But Your Majesty, you can let Xianchang's food, entertainment, and people appear in Canglie!"
Duan Gouqiong spoke excitedly, as if she had already returned to Canglie and saw the people and things she liked in Canglie.
The emperor understood Duan Gouqiong's meaning and said solemnly, "Actually, why should we separate?"
Duan Gouqiong looked at the emperor in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"Princess, if you like Xianchang, then stay in Xianchang. If you like someone from Xianchang, then marry someone from Xianchang and be someone from Xianchang. From now on, Xianchang and Canglie will both be your home! Even if you don't go back to Canglie, it won't matter at all!"
Duan Gouqiong was stunned by the emperor's words. She lowered her head and said, "But, getting married is not something that I can do just because I want to..."
She now looks obviously shrouded in sorrow and feels that it is difficult for her to find love.
The emperor's serious expression was tinged with a touch of ease: "If the princess wants to stay in Xianchang and likes someone in Xianchang, as long as the princess asks, I will definitely satisfy the princess!"
Duan Gouqiong saw that the emperor was speaking with such confidence that he felt that the emperor was not bragging and that he would definitely do what he said.
Duan Gouqiong looked at the emperor with bright eyes: "Then... can the prince also be okay?"
Duan Gouqiong asked cautiously, as if testing him, but the emperor answered with absolute certainty and cheerfulness: "Of course!"
Outside the palace, Ni Yueshan sat in the carriage waiting for Duan Gouqiong to come out.
Duan Gouqiong lifted the carriage curtain and got in. She had clearly been unhappy the entire day she entered the palace, but now the joy on her face was unconcealable...
Ni Yueshan looked at Duan Gouqiong in surprise: "Why are you so happy? What did the emperor say to you?"
Duan Gouqiong pretended to be melancholy: "How can I be happy? You are dazzled. Princess, can you help me?"
"What?"
"I'm leaving tomorrow, but I don't want to continue to shamelessly meet Shao Lecheng, so I'll trouble you, Crown Princess, to go meet Shao Lecheng and tell him that I'm leaving."
