Qu Qingxi assumed it was Qingdai who did it, so she didn't say anything. Beautiful flowers could indeed put her in a good mood.
After lunch, Qu Qingxi was about to take a nap when she saw He Liufeng dressed up and asking her to go shopping together.
On the first day, Qu Qingxi was a little confused, but she did not refuse. She thought that He Liufeng was using her as a cover to go outside to do something, but she did not expect that He Liufeng hardly saw any strange people.
He simply took her shopping, buying her a set of jewelry and ordering two beautiful outfits.
The next day, Qu Qingxi, still sleepy, accompanied the radiant He Liufeng to buy jewelry and have clothes made, doing almost the same things as the day before.
On the third day, seeing He Liufeng dressed up again and walking towards her room, Qu Qingxi rolled her eyes, quickly took off her shoes, and lay down on the bed to go to sleep.
He Liufeng entered the room and saw Qu Qingxi sleeping. He hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't bear to wake her, so he turned around and left.
Upon hearing that He Liufeng had left, Qu Qingxi immediately opened her eyes again, wondering what had gotten into He Liufeng these past two days. He dressed up so extravagantly every day and even took her shopping.
Does he not have any official business to attend to every day?
That's not all; every day they deliberately choose her lunch break time, taking her shopping while she's dozing off. I'm speechless.
Forget it, maybe He Liufeng has been through something recently. Qu Qingxi stopped thinking about it, went to bed, and figured she'd die sooner if she didn't take a proper nap. She'd better take a proper nap.
On the other side, He Liufeng was equally puzzled.
He would take Qu Qingxi out shopping every day. The first day was fine, but in the following days, Qu Qingxi didn't seem very enthusiastic. Even after buying beautiful jewelry and clothes, she didn't seem happy.
He Liufeng told Gu Liangsheng all his doubts. Gu Liangsheng also found it strange that a woman would not like these things.
He Liufeng immediately summoned Qingdai.
Qingdai also recognized Gu Liangsheng. After bowing to the two of them, Qingdai stood aside.
"Qingdai, have you noticed any changes in the Princess's mood these past two days? Has she been more surprised or happier than usual?" Gu Liangsheng asked tentatively, staring at Qingdai. Since Qingdai was Qu Qingxi's personal attendant, she should be the most direct person to know about Qu Qingxi's changes.
"No, Your Highness seems a little irritable these past few days," Qingdai said slowly after thinking for a moment.
"Irritable? Why?" He Liufeng was puzzled. He hadn't heard anything about Qu Qingxi encountering any trouble recently.
“That’s right, that’s right. Every day, the Prince takes the Princess out when she’s about to take her afternoon nap. The Princess hasn’t had a proper afternoon nap these past two days, so she’s not in a good mood.” Qingdai glanced at He Liufeng and said cautiously.
He Liufeng: "..."
Gu Liangsheng: "..."
Instead of winning the beauty's favor, he stepped on a landmine?
"He Liufeng, what's wrong with you? Why did you take her shopping when she was about to take her lunch break?" Gu Liangsheng realized what was happening and was speechless.
He Liufeng really knows how to pick his time; he deliberately chose to do it when people were sleeping. Qu Qingxi was already being very lenient by not getting angry on the spot.
"Ahem, I didn't know she was sleeping at this time." He Liufeng hadn't thought of this at all. He was usually busy with official business at this time, and recently he had deliberately set aside this time to handle the official business in the evening. Who knew that it would coincide with Qu Qingxi's lunch break.
"Sigh." Gu Liangsheng glanced at He Liufeng with a look of disappointment.
"Qingdai, does your princess have any particular favorite things?" Since Qingdai is Qu Qingxi's personal maid, she must know more than He Liufeng. Starting with Qingdai shouldn't be a problem.
"What does the Princess Consort like?" Qingdai frowned slightly and began to think. "The Princess Consort likes to see doctors..." Before Qingdai could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed the Prince's warning look, choked for a moment, and continued to add, "The Princess Consort likes to read serious jokes."
"Your princess has rather unique tastes." Jokes are jokes, but what do you mean by a serious joke? Gu Liangsheng looked puzzled.
"Hehe, our princess likes this." Having already spoken, Qingdai could only bite the bullet and reply, silently apologizing to Qu Qingxi in her heart. Princess, I didn't mean to. I almost forgot to keep my medical skills a secret from you.
Although the way she made up for it was a bit strange, at least she didn't give herself away, right? Qingdai silently comforted herself.
"Then, Your Highness, why don't you collect some serious joke books and give them to the Princess?" Gu Liangsheng tentatively suggested.
"Change it to another one." He Liufeng glanced at Qingdai.
Qingdai knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
"Never mind, let me think about it some more." Gu Liangsheng was clearly surprised that none of these things were of any use to Qu Qingxi.
He needs to rethink things.
As evening fell, He Liufeng sat at his desk, looking at the official documents laid out on it, but he had no intention of dealing with them. The deadline of half a month was fast approaching, but there was still no progress on this matter. What should he do?
He Liufeng clasped his hands together, leaned back in his chair, and looked somewhat bewildered.
Just then, Gu Liangsheng suddenly pushed the door open and came in, "I've thought of a way."
"What?" He Liufeng straightened up and looked at Gu Liangsheng with curiosity.
"Come with me."
Gu Liangsheng grabbed He Liufeng's arm and walked outside.
He Liufeng followed Gu Liangsheng with doubt in his eyes.
When the two men appeared in front of a brothel in the capital, He Liufeng stopped in his tracks. "Is this the good idea you were talking about?"
“Yes, you know, I used to win over girls with my good looks. Although you are quite good-looking, it’s obvious that your princess won’t fall for that. So, we need to try a different approach,” Gu Liang said earnestly.
“Gu Liangsheng, if you want to visit brothels, I have no objection, but I’m not interested in those things.” He Liufeng glanced at Gu Liangsheng and turned to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute, of course I didn't come here to visit a brothel, I'm doing all this for you, aren't I?" Gu Liangsheng blocked He Liufeng's way.
"How can the people here compare to her?" He Liufeng's face had turned cold. If it weren't for his good relationship with Gu Liangsheng, he probably would have already started beating him up.
"Oh, my prince, I never said that the people here could compare to the princess. I brought you here just so you could see and learn how other men coax young girls." Seeing that He Liufeng was showing signs of anger, Gu Liangsheng quickly explained.
"Women have some common traits. You're just going to observe and learn from them. They're not really asking you to do anything."
He Liufeng gave Gu Liangsheng a deep look, his heart wavering.
