Gu Yunru looked at him calmly. The case was finally settled.
"Um."
After returning to the house, Gu Yunru looked at Qingxing standing beside her with a sullen face, and put the almond cake in her hand on the table, "Qingxing, don't be sulking. I promise to take you out next time. This is the almond cake I bought for you. I apologize to you. Is this okay now?"
"Princess... Fortunately, the prince has official business to attend to today. If he knew that you went out again..."
"Oh, well, I'm back now, so let's not talk about those unhappy things."
Gu Yunru is in a good mood now and doesn't want to hear the name that makes her feel unlucky.
"Princess, you have been too close to Master Cheng recently."
Qing Xing complained, and Gu Yunru was stunned. He stuffed the cake into his mouth and said vaguely: "I didn't say that I was walking with him, how did you know?"
"It's been spreading everywhere. Even the servants of Qiushui Pavilion know about it."
"Ah, these people are really good at talking." Gu Yunru finally knew what these people were doing when they had nothing to do.
"By the way, Princess, Qingfeng has not been in the palace these days."
"Not in the mansion? Then what was he doing? Didn't the prince say that he would be given a few days off?" This Qingfeng is really a workaholic. He is not willing to take a day off. As a newlywed, instead of improving his relationship with his lovely wife, he has to go and work on government affairs with Rong Zhen.
Qing Xing said, "It should be to help the prince with some small favors, but it's good, at least I don't have to see him, and the princess doesn't have to be wary of Qingfeng's surveillance anymore."
Gu Yunru nodded rapidly. Although Qingxing seemed silly on weekdays, she had her own opinions on some important issues.
On the other side of the screen, Qingfeng was standing behind Rong Zhen. The two were busy in the study. Rong Zhen saw that Qingfeng was always absent-minded. He turned his head and glanced at him. Xuan Ji turned back and asked, "Why, are you not satisfied with the marriage arranged for you?"
"How could that be? Your Highness and Princess's arrangements, I dare not disobey."
"There is resentment in your words. It seems that you are indeed dissatisfied with the marriage that the princess and I have chosen for you." Rong Zhen put down the memorial in his hand and moved his gloomy eyes to his face.
Qingfeng grew up with him. Once he had something on his mind, he would just digest it silently by himself and would not show it on his face. However, even if he didn't show it on his face, it would still show. He has never been good at hiding his emotions.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just haven't changed my identity yet, and I don't know how to be a competent husband."
Qingfeng lowered his head respectfully, afraid that he would see through him. He kept dodging his gaze, not daring to look directly into his cold eyes. When Rong Zhen heard this, a strange smile appeared on his lips. He sighed slowly and said, "Qingfeng, sometimes you have to think about what you should think about, and you have to give up what you shouldn't think about. Do you understand?"
Qingfeng lowered his head more and more, and his posture became more humble. He vaguely understood the intention of the prince's words. When he returned to the room, Qingshuang had not rested yet. It seemed that she had been sitting at the table waiting for him to come back.
"Husband, you're back!"
Qingshuang raised the corner of her mouth and was about to take the food on the table to the small kitchen to heat it up, but was stopped by him.
"No need, just eat it cold." Qingfeng didn't like tedious things, so he sat aside with his face as cold as ever. His eagle-like eyes stared directly at the dishes, all of which were carefully prepared for him by Qingshuang.
"I'm sorry, I did have something important to do on our wedding night, so I ignored you."
Qingfeng also realized that what he did that night was not right. Qingshuang was relieved to see that he finally didn't have to face her coldly, "It's okay, my husband's business is the most important."
Qingshuang also seemed very sensible and considerate. Qingfeng looked at her. Although they had never interacted with each other before, he could tell that Qingshuang cared about him very much.
At this time Qingshuang smiled, took out the earring and put it on the table. Qingfeng was stunned and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her.
"Actually, you don't have to say anything. I understand everything. The princess has been looking for this earring recently. Now that she has finally found it, I should return it."
Qing Shuang looked at him with a smile and did not question him. However, he looked a little confused at this moment. "Where did you find this earring?"
"I was trying to tidy up your clothes today, but it accidentally fell out of your sleeve. It seems that you have treasured this earring for a while. I understand your feelings for the princess, but the princess is now the prince's woman. Shouldn't you give up some unrealistic fantasies?"
She found the earring, but instead of making a fuss, she calmly explained the matter to him.
Qingfeng could also feel her protection for him, and he lowered his head in shame and said, "Don't worry, I will never do such a stupid thing again."

"Well, of course I believe what my husband said." Qingshuang said, pouring him a glass of light wine. The two finished their meal together and prepared to rest, but when they were halfway through being intimate, Qingfeng suddenly pushed her away.
After all, he was not that person… He could not make his heart beat faster. Qingshuang just watched him behave like that, suddenly feeling dazed, not knowing what to do.
"I'm sorry, please give me some more time." Qingfeng said, put on his clothes and shoes, and walked out the door. His back was so resolute and indifferent. She sat on the bed in a daze, tears falling unconsciously. She was sad and angry, but there was nothing she could do.
The next morning, Gu Yunru stretched.
For some reason, whenever Rong Zhen was busy dealing with government affairs, she would have some free time. When she was about to leave the house to see how the Baicaotang was doing, she saw Qingfeng, with a meticulous expression, standing at the door holding a sword.
As if she was under Rong Zhen's order to monitor her again, Qing Xing walked towards Qing Feng with a sneer and looked him up and down.
"Why are you going to Ginkgo Garden instead of enjoying your wedding with your bride?"
Qingfeng did not say anything, but just looked at Gu Yunru with a heavy look. Seeing that she was about to go out, Gu Yunru naturally knew what he was going to do. "Forget it, Qingxing, since he likes to be a little follower so much, let him follow behind you."
Qingxing's eyes rolled around. Did she know what the princess meant? So she went out with him in a plain white dress. When they came to Baicaotang, they saw that the sales of Baicao Cream were decreasing. So they went in and asked the accountant about the recent situation.
"Boss, this is the sales volume for the past month, as well as the customer feedback. I have written it down in detail according to your instructions."
The accountant and some assistants brought chairs and tea to serve her.
