Qin Hanwu was planning to take Jiang Jingyue to the lantern festival today, so no matter what, there was no way he could stay and investigate this matter now.
Zhun could only ask Wang Desheng to investigate the matter and find out who did it. His biggest hope right now was that it wasn't the wet nurse.
If it really was the wet nurse who did this, Qin Hanwu felt he still couldn't quite accept it.
"Xiao Jing, let Wang Desheng investigate this matter. Let's go to the lantern festival first! Didn't you want to go? It should be about to start if we go now."
Upon hearing that the lantern festival was about to begin, Jiang Jingyue immediately stood up and looked at him with some excitement.
"Your Highness, let's set off now! If we don't leave now, we'll miss it and be out of sight."
Seeing Jiang Jingyue's anxious appearance, Qin Hanwu was both amused and exasperated. However, he couldn't rush things. It was his first time attending the lantern festival, and he was completely clueless about what was there or what to do.
Seeing Jiang Jingyue go downstairs to dress up, Qin Hanwu immediately summoned another of his servants.
This servant already has a lover, so his words are more convincing when it comes to matters of the heart.
However, this servant usually handled things outside, but this time he was summoned to the inner palace by Qin Hanwu, and he was really curious about what the prince wanted him to do.
The servant immediately became uneasy, fearing that he had done something wrong.
"I summoned you here because I want to know how you usually get along with your girlfriend, and how you should coax her if you accidentally make her angry."
The prince's words brought a sigh of relief to the still uneasy servant in front of him.
My heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down.
"Your Highness, this is a very simple matter. Women simply like jewelry and clothing. Your Highness should put more effort into these things."
Actually, if men put in a little effort, they'll find that women are quite easy to please. For example, when going out, they can bring their wives small gifts every day when they come home; this can actually help strengthen the bond between husband and wife.
After saying this, the servant couldn't help but scratch his head and look at Qin Hanwu somewhat embarrassedly.
"Your Highness, that's all I know. Is there anything else you'd like to know?"
Qin Hanwu then remembered that he was going to the lantern festival with Jiang Jingyue later, so he immediately asked the servant in front of him.
"Did you bring your partner to the lantern festival in previous years?"
The servant felt increasingly puzzled by what his master was asking, but he couldn't ask directly what his master was planning to do by asking such a question.
He actually considered the possibility that his lord had a girl he liked.
But then the servant thought it was impossible. How could his noble lord do such a thing just because he liked a woman?
"Your Highness, every year I bring a partner to the Lantern Festival, and this year will certainly be no exception. Does Your Highness also have someone you plan to bring along?"
This time, Qin Hanwu did not shake his head; instead, he smiled gently at the person next to him.
"Yes, so I would like to ask you, under normal circumstances, what is there when visiting the lantern festival, what should we pay attention to, and how do you usually arrange things?"
This was the first time I had ever seen my lord seem so flustered. Seeing him like this, I almost couldn't help but laugh.
However, when he thought of how his master usually dealt with people, the servant managed to suppress the smile that was already creeping onto his lips.
"Your Highness, lanterns are really just about guessing riddles and releasing lanterns. There's really nothing special about that. The most important thing is that two people who love each other can be together."
After saying this, the servant remained silent, leaving Qin Hanwu to ponder alone.
He thought for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"Good, very good. I think you've explained it very well. Go and collect your reward. I'm going to take your queen to see the lanterns."
Upon hearing this, the servant in front of him was somewhat puzzled.
He had no idea when they had acquired a princess.
However, since the prince said so, he must have his reasons.
He seemed to have heard that a woman had recently come to the manor, though he had never seen her before. It seemed that the princess the prince was talking about must be the woman he had brought back to the manor.
"This servant thanks Your Highness for your kindness."
After the servants left, Qin Hanwu tidied himself up and went to Jiang Jingyue's residence, where he sat outside waiting for her.
He knew that it would take a woman some time to get ready, and in the past, he would have been very impatient if anyone dared to make him wait. But now it was different; he was willing to wait for this person.
Qin Hannu waited for quite some time before finally seeing Jiang Jingyue's figure. The woman was wearing a long, emerald-green robe and skirt, with a belt around her waist.
The belt accentuated the woman's slender waist, making it appear even thinner. Without hesitation, Qin Hanwu pulled the woman close, his arm around her waist.
He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Jiang Jingyue's fragrant hair.
The warm breath sprayed on Jing Jingyue's neck, making her involuntarily shrink back.
The main issue was that Jiang Jingyue felt a bit itchy, which made her uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, please don't be like this. Let's go outside first! Didn't we say we were going to see the lanterns?"
Seeing Jiang Jingyue's expectant look, Qin Hanwu could only lead her outside.
The street was bustling with activity, filled with lanterns of all kinds, which dazzled Jiang Jingyue.
She slowly approached Qin Hanwu and whispered in his ear.
"Your Highness, this place is so beautiful! There are so many lanterns! I never imagined that the Lantern Festival would be so lively at this time of year."
Qin Hanwu found Jiang Jingyue's next words a bit strange, but he didn't ask any further questions, because he thought that Jiang Jingyue must have accidentally said something wrong.
Jiang Jingyue's action startled Qin Hanwu, who then suddenly pulled her close in front of him.
He stared intently at Jiang Jingyue as he spoke.
"Outside here, don't call me Your Highness, call me my husband, understand?"
The moment he saw Jiang Jingyue nod, he felt satisfied and couldn't help but part his lips slightly and speak slowly.
"Then, Little Jing, make a sound now so I can experience it in advance."
