Seeing Ruan Xiaonuan's red eyes come out, Xiao Qi could not help but go forward and ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"None of your business." Ruan Xiaonuan shouted a few words loudly at him, and quickly ran far away.

Gu Junxiu heard some movement from inside, but he did not chase out. Because the people outside were all palace maids and eunuchs from the Zhaoyang Palace, he worried about his reputation as a prince.

There were only two days left until Gu Qingcheng's birthday. Gu Junxiu was so busy that he did not have the energy to care about Ruan Xiaonuan's matters.

Therefore, she could only sulk, and in the end, even Zi Juan wasn't willing to see her. She hid in her room and gave up on herself, thinking about when Gu Junxiu and Chu Ying would marry each other.

At this moment, not far from the capital city, there was a group of foreigners in a caravan. There seemed to be a word written east on their flag. It seemed to be the envoy of the Dongqing Kingdom.

However, what was astonishing was that there was actually a beautiful carriage in their group. When the wind blew, the carriage's face was revealed to the crowd. It was the face of a very beautiful woman. The people who were accompanying them heard some voices of conversation, "Cui Wei, where is the second prince?"

The voice was as beautiful as a nightingale.

The voice of another lady came from the carriage. She said with some hesitation, "The second prince is not with the group."

The person in the carriage was the third princess of the Dongqing Kingdom. This time, she and the second prince together sent a mission to the Xiyue Kingdom to complete the tribute, but it was hidden underneath the tribute.

At this time, in a brothel in the capital, a man dressed in a foreign country's attire was holding onto a beautiful woman. The person sitting in front of him was actually the Xiyue Kingdom.

The people of the Dongqing Kingdom were very different from the people of the Xiyue Kingdom. Especially the people of the Imperial Family, almost all of them were beautiful men.

"Aren't you afraid of being seen by your King of Hell when you brazenly came to see me?" The person who was sitting there was the second prince who had disappeared from the group. He had sneaked into the capital by himself.

In front of him was a middle-aged man who looked unfamiliar. He laughed loudly and said, "The Second Prince dares to sit here openly. I am under your protection, so there is nothing to be afraid of." These words naturally made the Second Prince smile brightly.

He picked up his glass and said, "When he's done, he won't lose any of your benefits." The man smiled and downed the wine in one gulp.

Ruan Xiaonuan and Gu Junxiu were still fighting awkwardly, both of them did not want to lower their heads, so they kept dragging it out. By chance, Chu Ying noticed the difference between them, and said excitedly, "Yu Er, go and find that light green muslin dress."

No one knew better than, what time she would return to Zhaoyang Palace everyday.

Yu Er did not dare delay any longer, and immediately wore the complicated dress, and agilely tied her hair with a suitable bun. Seeing the person in the mirror, she sincerely said, "Miss, you are so beautiful!"

When Chu Ying heard the unadorned praise, her face revealed a proud smile.

Just as the sky was about to turn dark, Gu Junxiu returned to the Proclamation of Liberation and saw a green clothed girl at the door. She approached and realised that it was Chu Ying. With a cold tone, he asked, "Why are you here?"

She was not discouraged by his overly cold tone, but instead said with a smile, "I heard that His Highness has been busy lately, so I specially made chicken soup to nourish it. I hope Your Highness will not mind your servant's clumsy cooking."

Gu Junxiu shot a glance at the thing in her hand, and spoke with a tone that still did not contain much warmth: "You are now Vice Minister Hua's younger sister, this king does not need to call you a servant in front of you."

Chu Ying nodded with a slightly flushed face. She remembered that the reason she was able to escape from this matter this time around was because of his power. Just as she was about to speak to express her thanks, Gu Junxiu suddenly said, "Come in."

Chu Ying was both surprised and happy, as she hurried to keep up with his footsteps. In the past, she couldn't even enter the study, much less the sleeping quarters. She attributed all of this to her purposely dressed up tonight. If it wasn't for her outstanding appearance, she definitely wouldn't have spared him a glance.

"Your Highness, please try it." Chu Ying opened the lid, and the strong smell of chicken soup assaulted her nose.

This time, she abandoned her previous modesty and placed the spoon by Gu Junxiu's mouth, looking at her.

He frowned. He hated intimacy. However, because of his status, he could not push her away. He could only pretend to be casual as he said, "Just leave it for now."

Chu Ying's big eyes were filled with disappointment, and very quickly, she took a step back and said, "Your Highness remembers to drink." Her eyes brimmed with an unwillingness to refuse.

Gu Junxiu could only nod his head, seeing that she was still standing there, he could not help but ask: "What else do you want?"

Chu Ying's eyes suddenly became moist, and said with a choked voice: "I came to thank Your Highness for saving me the last time."

He wanted to correct her claim, but Chu Ying stopped him. She continued, "This humble servant has never had a mother's love since I was young. Father is obsessed with metaphysics, and even though I occasionally have a father's love, I still don't have a mother who is happy by my side. This servant and senior grew up together. On that day, she went to find him because she was worried that he would not live a good life outside the palace. But never would I have thought that someone would catch hold of me and threaten my prince's reputation. I did not think about it, and am filled with regret. "

Gu Junxiu frowned, and said impatiently, "This king does not care about this matter, if there is nothing else, you can leave."

Although the words were clear, Chu Ying did not intend to leave. She boldly took a step forward, and said excitedly, "Your Highness, if it weren't for you, this servant might have died in the palace."

Gu Junxiu was startled by her sudden action, his face immediately regained its coldness, and he said coldly: "I understand, you can leave now."

Chu Ying's eyes were still filled with tears, she made a decision in her heart, and boldly said: "Your Highness, this servant understands the pain of not having a mother to love you, and understands your thoughts, Your Highness."

His words stabbed right into Gu Junxiu's heart, and his face finally had a trace of change. Sensing the subtle change in him, she laughed in his heart. However, her face was still pitiful as he said, "Your Highness' heart isn't here, but since this servant has already entered the Zhaoyang Palace, it is impossible for me to leave the palace. I hope that on account of the fact that we don't have any mothers to love us, Your Highness won't kick us out of the palace. "

When Gu Junxiu saw her tearful voice, he fell into a dilemma. coincidentally saw a familiar figure walking towards her. She suddenly hugged Gu Junxiu, and his tears started streaming down his face and her voice sounded choked with sobs.
