"No need to disturb us!" Mu Chenshuang refused. "I came uninvited today to express my gratitude to the Third Prince and Crown Prince Junheng for their kindness yesterday, and I specially made some egg yolk pastries to express my thanks."
The words were spoken.
Linglong stepped forward and respectfully presented the food box.
Feng Ji glanced down at it, a look of surprise flashing across his eyes, then smiled and said, "Your Highness is too kind. But since it was made by Your Highness personally, I will accept it. Thank you."
He reached out and took the food box.
Linglong then stepped aside.
"I hope the Third Prince doesn't mind."
"But surely the Crown Princess didn't come here just to deliver egg yolk pastries!"
"Indeed, there is something I would like to discuss with the Third Prince."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the two servants who were attending to him.
Feng Ji understood, "You may all leave."
"yes."
"Linglong, you go out too."
Linglong was puzzled, but didn't say anything more, and then left the room.
Only the two of them remained in the enclosed living room.
"Your Highness, you may speak now."
"The Third Prince took my pulse yesterday, so he must already know that I am pregnant. I am grateful that the Third Prince specially sent me medicine to prevent miscarriage."
Feng Ji listened, his handsome face showing little emotion. What surprised him was that she had noticed the presence of a pregnancy-stabilizing ingredient in the medicine.
"The Third Prince did not mention this matter yesterday, so he must know in his heart that the child I am carrying is definitely not the Crown Prince's child."
Feng Ji's deep, sword-like eyes met Mu Chen Shuang's clear, mirror-like eyes. Her calm and reserved demeanor made her seem like a completely different person. If she had suddenly realized something, she didn't seem like someone who would speak her mind so bluntly. Right now, she was subtly probing his intentions.
“The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have always been at odds. I have also heard some rumors that the two of you have never shared a bed. As for where the Crown Princess’s child came from, I cannot say more. The Crown Princess can rest assured that no one outside will know about this matter,” Feng Ji assured her in a deep voice.
“When the Third Prince learned that I had cheated on him and was pregnant with another man’s child, he not only did not ridicule me, but also covered it up for me. I am extremely grateful.”
As Mu Chenshuang spoke, she nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
Feng Ji smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, there's no need for thanks. I am different from those pedantic people. I trust Princess Weiyang's character."
The title "Princess Weiyang" was enough to demonstrate Feng Ji's approval of her. As someone who had fought on the battlefield with her, she saw trust in Feng Ji's eyes.
"With the Third Prince's words, I can rest assured."
After Mu Chenshuang finished speaking, she slowly stood up.
"Then I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell."
She had just turned and taken a step.
"Princess!"
Mu Chenshuang paused, turned around, and looked at Feng Ji.
"I would like to say that the position of Crown Princess is not the best choice for you. You are currently pregnant, and the Eastern Palace is a place of trouble for you. You should make plans as soon as possible."
Mu Chenshuang curtsied slightly and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Third Prince. I have my own plans."
Even without Feng Ji's reminder, she would divorce Feng Xilan anyway, and let whoever wants the position of Crown Princess can have it.
After seeing Mu Chenshuang off from the mansion, Feng Ji returned to the main hall and saw Fu Junheng pick up a piece of egg yolk pastry.
"This is a thank-you gift made by the Crown Princess herself. She came today to test the waters. Mu Chenshuang has suddenly become very shrewd. It seems she has truly repented. If Feng Xilan loses her, it will be an absolute loss."
Upon seeing Mu Chenshuang today, her entire aura changed, as if she had been given a different soul.
Especially those eyes, clear and without any impurities, yet deep and dark, unfathomable.
Fu Junheng remained expressionless, picked up the egg yolk pastry, took a bite, and immediately paused, his expression slightly stunned.
Feng Ji noticed the change in his expression. "Is there something wrong with this egg yolk pastry?"
As he asked the question, he reached into the food box, picked up a piece of egg yolk pastry, took a bite, and found nothing unusual. "It tastes very good. Junheng, do you think there's anything wrong with it?"
Fu Junheng lowered his hand, his eyes, hidden beneath his eyelids, were unreadable.
"nothing."
Feng Ji didn't ask any further questions and then said, "Father's birthday is in three days. Envoys from the Southern Frontier will come to offer their congratulations. They will probably present many beauties. The exotic beauties from the Southern Frontier are all stunning. Father will probably choose a concubine for his only nephew. Junheng, why don't you consider giving it a try? Otherwise, people will really think that we are having an affair."
He looked at Fu Junheng with a mocking gaze.
Fu Junheng indifferently withdrew his gaze, "You can get lost now!" His voice was chillingly cold.
...
On the way back.
"Your Highness, I've heard that the Third Prince and Crown Prince Junheng have an unusual relationship," Linglong said, indulging in gossip.
Mu Chenshuang asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
"The Third Prince is only twenty-six years old. His Majesty has bestowed marriage upon him many times, but he has refused them all. The Third Prince has always been a loner and never gets close to anyone. It is said that Crown Prince Junheng has not yet taken a wife or concubine. Since Crown Prince Junheng came, the two have often been seen together. Now the Third Prince is staying at Crown Prince Junheng's residence. Could it be that the Third Prince and Crown Prince Junheng are actually homosexual..."
As she finished speaking, Linglong's voice became cautious.
Mu Chenshuang was taken aback. After hearing Linglong's words, it seemed to be true. "What you say makes sense. If you think about it carefully, the Third Prince's elegance and Fu Junheng's coldness do have a lot of chemistry."
At this point, her eyes lit up. "But who's the bottom and who's the top? They both seem pretty dominant."
In the 21st century, the culture of "fujoshi" (female fans of male-male romance) is prevalent. She never expected that modern girls would like to watch male-male romances. She originally wanted to criticize the decline of morality, but she never expected that she would fall into it herself.
