Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Nan Jinming, who was standing behind Chu Xiaoran, stared at Shi Yinsheng who was chatting with Chu Xiaoran with a look as if he was filled with poison.

Shi Yinsheng seemed to feel his gaze as well. She looked at her provocatively and then looked at Chu Xiaoran in front of her.

"Your Highness, you are kindhearted. I was the one who brought you back to the country. Do you feel resentment or hatred towards me?"

"I have said it before, I have never resented the Prime Minister in my heart."

Chu Xiaoran shook his head. He had already told her this a long time ago. Why was she asking him this question again now?

Chu Xiaoran was sandwiched in the middle and naturally did not notice the eye contact between the two women, both of whom wanted to outdo each other.

Time passed relatively quickly and the dinner was over soon. When the guests left, some of them were so drunk that they needed the help of their servants to move around.

Xiahou Chunan gave a few instructions, and Shangguan Yilin supported her slightly drunk body, waved his hand to clear the banquet, and left the scene with the support of the palace servants.

"Your Highness, there is one more person now. Where should we place him?"

Three people got on the carriage. The carriage was quite spacious when Nan Jinming was not there, but now with one more person, the carriage seemed a little crowded.

"Your Highness, I'd better go down and walk."

It was indeed inappropriate for a woman like Nan Jinming to be between two men. Chu Xiaoran shook his head and reached out to hold her wrist. Chu Xiaoran looked at the veiled Nan Jinming and said firmly, "You don't have to walk down. It's still a long way from here to the palace. If you walk there alone, it will take a long time. Besides, I'm worried about you being a man so late at night."

When Nan Jinming heard him say that he was a man, he felt a little moved, mainly because he felt guilty. After all, he had changed his identity in secret and was staying by his side.

After returning to the palace, it was almost the second watch. Qingyu brought a basin of water to serve Chu Xiaoran. After he washed and changed his clothes, Nan Jinming stood aside without moving at all.

"When did you enter the palace? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Qingyu has been in the palace for so long that he can recognize everyone he has met once.

Nan Jinming scratched her head awkwardly, looking at Chu Xiaoran next to her. She was only wearing a white undershirt, and her figure was vaguely visible, which made her swallow unconsciously.

Sure enough, her husband was very attractive.

Chu Xiaoran looked at Nan Jinming, who was standing still, with some confusion, and then asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel a little restrained in a strange place?"

Nan Jinming shook his head: "No, it's just that Your Highness, I don't know where I should sleep tonight."

"Sleep with me, of course."

Qingyu rolled her eyes at her speechlessly. Since Her Royal Highness the Princess accepted her, she would naturally provide her with food and shelter. What was there to worry about?

"No."

Nan Jinming refused sternly. How could she do something to let her husband down?

Chu Xiaoran also felt it was a bit strange. After all, they were all men, and it didn't matter where they slept. There was nothing wrong with sleeping together.

Could it be that he has some secret that he cannot tell anyone?

"So you plan on sleeping on the floor tonight?"

Chu Xiaoran raised his eyebrows slightly, mainly because after staying with Nan Jinming for a long time, he would definitely learn a little bit of her language and demeanor.

"I can sleep on the floor, Princess, you can just sleep on the bed."

"Why, are you planning to sleep in the same room with the princess?"

"That's fine, isn't it? Protecting the princess?"

Qingyu was speechless and rolled her eyes at her.

The palace is heavily guarded, so where would a thief or robber come from?

Even if they get in, they'll never get out alive.
