Yu Wantai thought about it seriously, "Well, he did embrace two, three, four or five beauties, just for fun. Could it be that the Crown Prince's wife is jealous?"

"I don't feel jealous!" Yan Muxi pulled back his hand, stood up and walked out.

Yu Wantai glanced at his empty hands, raised his eyes and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go to Haitang Garden to find Qinghuan and the others. The prince has embraced a beauty, so it's only fair that I embrace two beauties on both sides." As Yan Muxi spoke, he walked out of the inner room without stopping.

Yu Wantai quickly put on his heels and chased after her, grabbing Yan Muxi before she walked out of the hall.

Yan Muxi shook off her grabbed hand but didn't get rid of it. "What are you doing, my lord? Are you the only one allowed to set fire and not a little girl like me to light a lamp?"

"Xu~ Whatever the Crown Princess wants to do, I will agree to it. If you want to light the lamp, let's go and light it together."

Yu Wantai kept his word and actually came to Haitang Garden with Yan Muxi.

Qinghuan and others were detained in the mansion every day with nothing to do. When the couple arrived, they were gathering together to eat hot pot, chatting and laughing, looking very happy.

Seeing Yan Muxi and Yu Wantai come in, several people were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Although it was New Year's Day, Princess Rong was seriously ill, so it was not appropriate for them to drink and chat.

Seeing this, Yan Muxi said nothing. He turned to look at Yu Wantai, wanting to see how he would deal with the beauties in the room.

Yu Wantai did not look at Yan Muxi, but took her hand and walked past the beauties. After sitting down at the main seat, he said, "The ground is cold, everyone get up!"

Upon hearing this, the beauties stood up one after another, and stood with their heads down, not daring to look up, let alone speak.

"Don't be so reserved, everyone please take a seat!" Yan Muxi also said in a gentle voice.

The beauties stood there and did not dare to move. They were of low status, not even concubines, so how could they dare to sit with the Crown Prince and his wife?

"It seems that I can't control them, so please ask them to take a seat, my Lord!"

Meeting Yan Muxi's half-smile eyes, Yu Wantai fawned and said, "How about we just let them stand?"

"That's not right. Beauties are delicate and precious. If they get tired, wouldn't it be the prince who would feel sorry for them? Let them sit down and serve!" Yan Muxi said, looking at the crowd, "If you really don't want to sit down, you can also kneel outside."

Hearing this, the beauties knelt on the ground again, each of them trembling with fear.

Yu Wantai looked at Yan Muxi and said in embarrassment: "Look at this?"

Yan Muxi had experienced the hardships of the lower class people, and he hated venting his unhappiness on the servants. "It's so boring!" After saying that, he stood up and quickly left the room.

She didn't walk fast, but it was not until she returned to the gate of Shuangxin Residence that Yu Wantai finally caught up with her, and his words of persuasion were extremely perfunctory.

After dinner, Yu Wantai made an excuse to go to Zhuxiang Hall to see Princess Rong, and he did not return until after midnight.

Yan Muxi glanced at the clepsydra and asked, "Has the prince not returned to the courtyard yet?"

"Not yet. Princess Consort, don't wait for the Crown Prince. Go to bed first. You have to go to see the Princess early tomorrow." Yin Xia advised.

Seeing her worried look, Yan Muxi smiled and said, "Okay, I won't wait for him. I'll check the accounts for a while. You can go back and rest early!"

"I am not sleepy. It won't be too late to go back after the Crown Princess has rested." Yin Xia said as she took out a night pearl lamp. The master and servant sat together to check the accounts.

After checking for a while, seeing Yin Xia trying to hold back her yawns until tears came out, Yan Muxi put down the account book in his hand and said, "Forget it. The accounts cannot be sorted out in a day or two. I'll look at them slowly tomorrow."

After helping Yan Muxi to get on the couch, Yin Xia covered the lampshade in the room, leaving only one night-shining pearl for lighting.

Due to the trauma left by being locked in a dark room when he was young, Yan Muxi is extremely afraid of the dark and often leaves some light on when he sleeps at night.

"If the Crown Princess can't fall asleep for a while, I will chat with you about your son for a while." Yin Xia let down the curtain, but opened it again out of concern.

Yan Muxi knew that she was worried about him, "Okay, I have something to tell you." Then he sat up from the bed and leaned against the soft pillow, "Yinxia, ​​you are the oldest among the four of us. After the New Year, it seems that you have entered your prime years, right?"

"I am the same age as the Crown Prince's wife, twenty years old."

"Time flies so fast. When I first met you, you were still a little girl, and now you have grown into a mother." Yan Muxi sighed with emotion. More than ten years seemed to have passed in just the blink of an eye.

Yin Xia was dissatisfied and scolded, "When we first met, you, the Crown Prince's Consort, were not even as tall as me. How dare you call me a little girl!"

Yan Muxi did not argue with her, smiling with eyes curved, "We are all little girls, okay? Let's not talk about the past. Yinxia, ​​you are already twenty years old, what are your plans for the future?"

Yin Xia said without thinking: "I will continue to serve the Crown Prince's wife from now on. What plans do I have?"

Yan Muxi stopped laughing and spoke in a serious tone, "You have to serve me and take care of your own life. Jixiang is always hanging around you, more attentive than a dog seeing a bone. Don't you have any idea about him?"

"Please don't tease me, Princess. You are the only one in my heart and eyes. I can't ignore anyone else except you." Yin Xia's face turned red before she finished speaking.

Yan Muxi was amused by her blushing face, "Maybe the charcoal fire in the room is too strong and it has burned someone's face red."

"Oh my~ The Crown Prince's wife is always teasing me. I won't talk to you anymore." Yin Xia angrily let down the bed curtain and ran out of the room as if escaping.

Along the way, Yinxia walked very slowly, her mind was in a mess. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

When I returned to the servants' quarters, I heard Dong Yu complaining angrily before I even entered the room, "...I originally thought that Prince Rong had given up on playing tricks on us for our young lady, but who would have thought that he would get tired of her just after getting what he wanted. Men are really unreliable."

Yinxia walked in and asked in confusion, "Why is the prince unreliable?"

Dong Yu said angrily, "Not only did he ignore our young lady when she was in trouble, but I just went to the front yard to look for Hei Lian and found out that the prince went to Lan Gui Yuan. What could he do in Lan Gui Yuan so late at night? You can figure it out with your toes."

Lan Gui Yuan is located in the northwest corner of the palace, adjacent to Hai Tang Yuan, and several courtesans also live there.

Yinxia asked again, "Did Ruyi say in person that the prince went to Lan Guiyuan?"

The Crown Prince could wait for the Crown Princess for two years without consummating the marriage. He felt that even if someone changed their mind, it shouldn't change so quickly.

Dong Yu said truthfully: "Hei Lian didn't say it in person, but it's almost the same as if he said it in person. The prince went to Lan Guiyuan, there is no doubt about it." After that, she began to speak up for Yan Muxi again.

Jinchun and Qiuzhu were also angry. They were both young girls who were thinking about love and had some fantasies about love between men and women, but now they were all gone.

Yinxia sat down on the chair, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly interrupted Dongyu's muttering, "Dongyu, in your heart, who is more important, the Crown Prince's Consort or Ruyi?"

Dongyu didn't say it, but she saw clearly that the girl was interested in Ruyi. Some things could still be salvaged, so she had to make plans early.

"Who does Hei Lian think he is? How can he be compared with our young lady?" Dong Yu shouted very loudly, as if the louder the voice, the more it could prove her feelings.
