After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Chu Yanchen coughed lightly...to hide the complicated emotions in his heart.

To be precise, this was the first time he met Song Mingli while sober.

That day, he hid behind a stone pillar and listened to Song Mingli talking to General Song about his inner thoughts.

Chu Yanchen raised his hand and touched the stone pillar where he had hidden.

He was recalling what happened when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

"Wait for me outside." Song Mingli's voice came, "I'll burn some incense for Dad."

Chu Yanchen's breathing paused, but his heart was already filled with joy.

They really are in sync!

Song Mingli went into the room and closed the door.

Chu Yanchen's heart was pounding. What would she say to General Song this time?

Will he be mentioned?

Will she tell General Song that Jingyou is their child, and will she become the Princess of Jing?

Chu Yanchen pricked up his ears.

Song Mingli said, "Come out."

Chu Yanchen: ...

Who should I call? Him?

"Are you waiting for me to catch you?" Song Mingli asked.

Chu Yanchen curled the corners of his mouth...it's not impossible.

He leaned against the pillar, motionless.

Song Mingli had no choice but to turn behind the pillar and look up at him.

There was no trace of embarrassment on Chu Yanchen's face after being caught.

The scenes of our first meeting immediately came to my mind.

Chu Yanchen's mind moved, and his actions were faster than his brain. He placed his hands on Song Mingli's shoulders, and his body shook...

Song Mingli felt a flash before his eyes...

She and Chu Yanchen switched positions, and she was trapped between his solid chest and the pillar.

She leaned against the pillar, facing Chu Yanchen's scorching breath...

"Well……"

His movements were very gentle, but his breathing was very rapid. I didn't know if he was nervous or if he was deliberately suppressing his eager movements.

"Mingli..."

Song Mingli clenched his teeth and his body trembled slightly.

Chu Yanchen noticed her condition and quickly stopped what he was doing. He looked at her in surprise.

"Don't... don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." Chu Yanchen looked at her nervously.

Song Mingli stared into his eyes.

"I'm sorry... I couldn't help myself at the moment." Chu Yanchen said embarrassedly, "But I promise you, before the wedding, I won't... do anything offensive again."

Song Mingli adjusted his breathing and calmed the stiffness and trembling in his body.

"How did you know I was here?"

"How is Jingyou doing in the palace?"

They both spoke at the same time.

"I heard from the servants that the prince is here." Song Mingli lowered his eyes and said, "I guessed that the prince might come here, so I came here to try my luck. As soon as I came in, I smelled the scent of ambergris."

Chu Yanchen quickly lowered his head and sniffed his sleeves, "Maybe I've been in Father's Palace for too long."

He had just come out of the palace, and the smell of ambergris was overbearing and lasting.

However, she is also very attentive... Does this mean that she cares about me?

Even though she had just shown defensiveness and resistance.

But the thought that "she cares about him" still comforted Chu Yanchen a little.

"The prince is also in the palace? Then Jingyou..." Song Mingli couldn't help feeling worried and nervous.

"Don't worry, he's with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother likes him very much and doesn't want him to leave her sight."

Chu Yanchen smiled and said, "My father drove me out of the palace and sent me to my mother's palace. Even Concubine Shen was left out."

"Lady Shen?"

Song Mingli muttered to himself that among the rewards sent from the palace today was a set of ruby ​​head ornaments for Concubine Shen.

Extremely beautiful and precious rubies, exquisite filigree craftsmanship from the palace, make this set of headwear extremely luxurious.

"Shen Tao, from the beginning, was singing for father in the Qianqing Palace, and she didn't sleep with him." Chu Yanchen explained for her, "She was quietly made a noble lady a few days ago, and father treats her well."

"Although she is young, she is not arrogant and is very decent and knows when to advance and when to retreat."

Song Mingli was stunned... uh, this... in her previous life, Xiao Taohong was not granted a title of noble lady in the palace.

She did enter the palace to sing, but the emperor did not keep her.

She was already very famous, and after performing in the palace, she became even more famous throughout the country.

Later, she opened her own drama troupe. People said that her backstage support was not to be messed with, but she still did very well.

But now, she has become Concubine Shen. Doesn't that mean she has also become a woman competing for favor with Empress Chen?

Song Mingli blinked and looked at Chu Yanchen with a somewhat embarrassed look.

Chu Yanchen couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched her nose, "What's that expression on your face? Mother is very satisfied with Shen Tao and intends to promote her."

"Shen Tao is smart. She kept a low profile for a few days and then went to pay her respects to the mother."

Song Mingli's face flushed and he turned his head away without looking at Chu Yanchen.

Although he had withdrawn his hand long ago, the tip of her nose was still hot.

Even the rough touch of his fingers remained.

"I have reserved a private room at Dexin Teahouse. Let's go there early tomorrow." Chu Yanchen's voice was low and his face darkened slightly.

Song Mingli looked at him in confusion.

What? Invite her for tea?

"The parade will be held tomorrow and will pass by there. Dexin Teahouse has the best view." Chu Yanchen said with a frown.

Song Mingli suddenly realized that she was invited to watch the Gu family parade.

"Okay, I will go early." Song Mingli nodded in agreement.

Chu Yanchen wanted to reach out and pinch her face.

But seeing her depressed mood, I remembered how she was trembling all over just now.

He couldn't bear it, and used all his strength to suppress his impulse.

He has to urge his father and the Imperial Observatory!

Set the date earlier!

Both of them burned incense to General Song and left the ancestral hall one after another.

The next morning, Song Mingli sent someone to invite Tong Wanyu and Zhao Yezhen.

Both of them made an appointment with her yesterday and were going to watch the Gu family parade together today.

Moreover, the two of them were so enthusiastic in preparing "small gifts" for the Gu family. How could they be happy if they didn't personally watch the Gu family "receive the gifts"?

Dexin Teahouse.

The private room that Prince Jing had booked in advance indeed had the best view.

The private room is on the second floor, with large windows facing the street, from which you can have a clear view of everything on the street.

The three of them arrived early, and as soon as they sat down, the shopkeeper came personally to serve tea, snacks, and fresh fruits shipped from the south.

"Oh, so thoughtful! I didn't get such thoughtful service when I drank tea here before!" Tong Wanyu smiled at the shopkeeper, "There are also longans, lychees, and pineapples!"

"The shopkeeper's channels are great! We can't even buy these precious fruits in our house."

The shopkeeper quickly bowed and said, "Oh, young lady, you think too highly of me!"

"This is the fruit sent from Prince Jing's Mansion. It was delivered early in the morning and is still chilled. I'm afraid it's not fresh and not tasty. Where can I buy such precious fruit?"

Tong Wanyu and Zhao Yezhen immediately turned to Song Mingli, blinking their eyes with excitement and curiosity.

Wait for the shopkeeper to leave.

Tong Wanyu immediately laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Prince Jing is so caring!"

"It is thanks to Sister Song that we can eat such rare fruits today."

Song Mingli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Eat quickly! Can't eating stop you from talking?"

Chu Yanchen, who was standing outside the door and was about to push it in, raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

No, if you can speak, you should speak more!

Why are you blocking her mouth?
