I dressed as a princess and cheated on myself

"I don't know any rules. What if I offend the emperor?"

"It's okay. I will be with you and won't let anything happen to you."

He assured her again and again, but she was still unhappy, "Prince, I think Zhang Rulan is more suitable for the position of the principal wife. You really should consider it."

Prince Heng frowned and looked at her deeply with his eyes. He couldn't figure out for a moment whether she was testing him or was sincere.

Judging from her eyes, she really seems to hope that he will marry another woman. So what about her?

Are you willing to be a concubine for the rest of your life?

Or does she not care about him at all and just want to leave?

"Why do you..." He clenched his fists, "Why do you insist that I marry another woman?"

Song Bushi analyzed seriously, "Because I think she is the most suitable one, and she really needs my help now. If I am not around in the future, I can ask her to take care of the two children. I believe she will..."

"Where are you going?" he interrupted her anxiously.

Song Bushi felt that she had not yet gotten to the point, but when he asked her this, she didn't know how to respond.

He mumbled, "I... I can't stay here forever, what if..."

"Why not?" He interrupted again, announcing domineeringly, "You are my concubine, and you must stay by my side for the rest of your life. Where else do you want to go?"

Song Bushi was speechless and stressed helplessly, "I mean, if something happens to me, wouldn't it be better if there is someone I trust to take care of the two children instead of me?"

"No matter what happens, this king will not allow this to happen!

"He looked very serious and solemn, which really made her feel helpless.

This man is simply unreasonable. "Okay, I believe you have the ability! But I regard Ru Lan as a friend. I heard that she will enter the palace tomorrow and may be kept in the palace. Do you know about this?"

He lowered his eyes, thought for two seconds, and said calmly, "Is it arranged by her family? Although there is no news yet, this is her family's style. Over the years, it was thanks to Concubine Shu that her family was able to keep the position of Duke."

"I feel it's a pity for her. If you ask the emperor to grant her the title of Princess Heng, you can save her from the dire situation. The emperor has many women, so it doesn't mean he has to have her, right?"

Prince Heng looked at her silently, with a hint of helplessness between his brows.

It seems that she is not testing him, but really hopes that he will accept Zhang Rulan. "So, just to save her, you can tolerate other women around me? What am I to you?"

This question confused Song Bushi. What could there be between them?

Of course it’s deception and exploitation. Is there any emotion involved?

Song Bushi maintained a polite smile, "Of course, the children's father! Haha..."

He seemed dissatisfied with this answer, but he couldn't find fault with it, "Just the children's father?"

Song Bushi widened his eyes. Does this guy have to torture people like this?

Is this answer not enough?

Just when Song Bushi's mind was about to get tangled, he said, "If you really want to help her, then I can help her, but the road of life is not easy to walk. If you escape from this road, the other road may not be better than this one. Does she have the confidence?"

"You agreed?" Song Bushi ran forward in surprise and grabbed his hand, "How are you going to help?"

She suddenly rushed to him, spoke to him enthusiastically, and even took his hand, which made him dazed for a moment.

In his heart, he was inexplicably happy. "The Second Prince has not yet married, and he has a good impression of Ru Lan. He has mentioned it to me several times, but he has always been worried about his poor health and did not dare to propose marriage. If Ru Lan does not mind, he can ask for it."

"The Second Prince? I don't think he came with the Crown Prince last time. I haven't seen him, right?"

"Yes, he doesn't have a good relationship with the Crown Prince, but he has a good relationship with me. They occasionally drink and play chess together in private. You can ask Ru Lan what she thinks. If she is willing, I will go and tell her now."

"Okay, okay, I'll go ask her what she thinks now."

Song Bushi couldn't wait to call Xiaoyu over, handed Rulan's handkerchief to her, and instructed, "Go to the Duke's Mansion now and give the handkerchief to the servants there, then you can meet Zhang Rulan. Ask her what kind of person the Second Prince is, and she will understand."

Xiaoyu didn't ask any more questions, just took the handkerchief and left.

Song Bushi and King Heng were drinking tea together while waiting for news. Because Song Bushi was in a good mood, he kept chattering and laughing from time to time, looking heartless.

Prince Heng just quietly placed the tea set and concentrated on making tea.

When she laughed, she would look up and then give a meaningful smile, reminding, "Don't show your teeth when you smile."

Song Bushi was laughing happily with his mouth wide open, but was choked by a sentence.

He put his face down awkwardly, "You are such a boring person. I told you a joke, but you didn't laugh, and you didn't even let me laugh! Don't you feel bored? You are always so serious, aren't you tired?"

He was noncommittal.

Song Bushi said depressedly, "With your personality, to be honest, if I hadn't appeared, you would probably be single for the rest of your life."

He agreed with what was said, so he neither refuted nor got angry.

Song Bushi suddenly thought, if he really left here, would he be sad?

But she didn't dare to ask this, because she had to go back, whether he was sad or not, she would leave.

But she felt that he was quite cold-blooded and arrogant. It didn't really matter to him whether she was there or not. After all, he had been alone since he was a child, so he was used to it.

After the class, the teacher came out. Song Bushi still wanted to keep him for dinner, but he still refused and left in a hurry.

Prince Heng stayed for dinner and said that he would teach Ranran how to ride a horse and shoot arrows after dinner.

Ran Ran was overjoyed, "Really? Can I learn to ride a horse?"

Youyou said worriedly, "I'm scared. The horse is too high and I can't get on it."

Prince Heng rubbed Youyou's head lovingly, "It's okay, Daddy will carry you onto the horse, you won't fall."

Ran Ran said confidently, "I'm not afraid, I'm a man."

Song Bushi warned, "Men have to be careful too. It will hurt just as much if you fall down."

Ran Ran chuckled, "It's okay as long as Daddy is here."

The two children's trust in King Heng is really touching.

Song Bushi was worried at first that the matter would be exposed, but if things continued to develop in this way, there should be no problem.

I don’t know whose children these two are. How come no one is looking for them after they were lost?

This doesn't make sense!

Just as he was thinking, Xiaoyu came back. She ignored King Heng and walked straight to Song Bushi's side, whispering, "Can I talk to you for a moment?"

Song Bushi told Prince Heng to take good care of the two children, followed Xiaoyu back to the bedroom, and couldn't wait to ask her, "What did Miss Zhang say?"
