I think it’s best to be under the emperor’s feet. You see, as long as the emperor shows his power, that monster won’t dare to do anything wrong again.

“Ru Ge!”

On this day, Xiao Ruge was sitting on a recliner basking in the sun when she heard Princess Jianing's cheerful voice. Then she saw her "flying" in happily like a butterfly fairy.

"Princess, how come you have time to come to my place?"

The two haven't met since the last Spring Banquet, but I heard that Princess Jianing and Zhao Yuanshan have been getting closer recently, so they should have a good impression of each other.

"I'm going to Guanyin Temple to burn incense tomorrow. Do you want to go?"

Princess Jianing sat down beside her with a smile, and after asking this question, she said, "I'm tired of playing around the capital, so this time I chose the Guanyin Temple which is a little further away. You can ask your seventh cousin to go with you, so we can go out and relax!"

Xiao Ruge had indeed not gone out to play for a long time. The last time she went out was to the Princess's Residence and she did not leave Kyoto. After hearing Princess Jianing's proposal today, she felt tempted.

"Okay, but I haven't recovered well yet, so I don't want to spoil your fun."

"Hey, what's the big deal? We're going out here just to have fun. It's fine to walk around and take our time!"

Princess Jianing was even happier to have Xiao Ruge along, and the two held hands and talked affectionately.

I don't know who brought it up first, but as they were talking, they actually mentioned Zhao Yuanshan.

"I saw that you two got along pretty well that day. Have you been hanging out together again recently?"

Xiao Ruge looked at Princess Jianing with great interest. Princess Jianing's cheeks turned red when she said that and she glared at her awkwardly.

"You just know how to tease me!"

"So is there or not?"

If Xiao Ruge were asked to choose who is more suitable to be Princess Jianing's husband, she would definitely choose Zhao Yuanshan without hesitation. However, she has no say in such matters. In the end, it is up to Princess Jianing to decide whether it is appropriate.

Princess Jianing looked shy, but finally nodded, "We went out yesterday, and he took me hunting."

"He's really good. He even hunted a white fox and shot it in the eye. He said he would tan the fur and give it to me to make a collar!"

When mentioning Zhao Yuanshan, Princess Jianing's eyes were full of excited little stars. Xiao Ruge saw it and couldn't help but smile.

It seems that Princess Jianing has moved on from her relationship with Duanmu Ling.

"Will he go with us to Guanyin Temple tomorrow?"

Princess Jianing was speaking happily when she was asked this question. Her cheeks turned even redder, but she still nodded.

"He said the scenery behind the Guanyin Temple is nice and invited me to take a look!"

"So, the prince and I are just foils, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ruge couldn't help but make a joke, which made Princess Jianing even more embarrassed.

She hugged Xiao Ruge's arm and acted coquettishly, "Oh, no, we haven't been out for a long time, let's go play together! If you don't go, then I won't go either!"

As she spoke, she pouted her lips. Seeing this, Xiao Ruge quickly begged for mercy, "Alright, alright, I'll go. If I get you into trouble and you don't go, I guess Mr. Zhao will resent me for the rest of his life!"

"Who said that? Does he dare?"

Princess Jianing glared at Zhao Yuanshan, as if she would rush over and beat him up if he dared to say anything unhappy.

Xiao Ruge couldn't help but chuckle. After the joke, she looked at Princess Jianing, whose cheeks were slightly red, and asked, "Have you let go of Duanmu Ling?"

Princess Jianing was eating snacks. After hearing this, she froze for a moment, then sighed as if relieved, put down the snacks and said, "Since he doesn't accept me, why should I always chase after him?"

Sometimes she would look back on what she had done in the past and realize that it was completely against the moral standards of a woman. She felt that she must have been crazy at the time to have been so shameless in sticking with him.

Now that she met Zhao Yuanshan, she realized that liking someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to chase after him/her, you can also have the other person revolve around you all the time.

During this period, Zhao Yuanshan asked her out from time to time and took care of her meticulously. He could even think of some small details that she had not noticed.

There is something embarrassing to talk about. A while ago, the two of them went out to play together. Because she had her period, she felt a little unwell. I don’t know how Zhao Yuanshan knew about it, but he actually asked someone to cook brown sugar eggs for her.

When she was chasing after Duanmu Ling before, that man never paid attention to these things. He would just tell her to go see a doctor if she felt unwell.

Compared with Zhao Yuanshan, Duanmu Ling is not even a little bit inferior.

Seeing that Princess Jianing suddenly had a sweet smile on her face, Xiao Ruge felt relieved.

Princess Jianing stayed with Xiao Ruge for most of the morning, agreed to meet at the South City Gate at 4:15 a.m. tomorrow, and then left.

Not long after she left, Mu Gu came back. When he heard that they were going to Guanyin Temple to play, he immediately told Bai Zhi and Xiao Shuang to pack up.

The next day, several people met at the South City Gate. After the meeting, Princess Jianing didn't care about anything and directly drove Mu Gu off the carriage and climbed back in herself.

Mu Gu was angry and took it out on Zhao Yuanshan.

First he asked others to race horses with him, and then he ordered them to do this and that. Xiao Ruge and the other man were sitting in the carriage watching. One thought Mu Gu was childish, and the other thought he was bullying.

"Seventh cousin, could you please not rely on your status to act like a big shot here?"

During the lunch break, Princess Jianing glared at Mu Gu and accused him unhappily.

But Mu Gu pretended not to hear it at all. He put his arm around Xiao Ruge's waist and let her lean on him to rest. He didn't feel like he was bullying the weak at all.

Princess Jianing became even angrier and rushed up to argue with him, but was stopped by Zhao Yuanshan.

"Princess, please don't be angry. The prince is of noble status, and what he asked me to do is not out of line. It's fine."

Princess Jianing was very angry, and was finally coaxed by Zhao Yuanshan to go to the woods nearby to look for bird nests on the pretext of helping her do so.

Xiao Ruge looked at Mu Gu helplessly and sighed, "Can you please not be so willful? Are you going to let the princess ride in the carriage by herself? That would be so boring for her!"

"She is bored, is she going to steal my wife?"

Xiao Ruge couldn't help but pat his arm at this, and said with wide eyes: "I haven't married you yet! Who is your wife?"

When Mu Gu heard this, he immediately acted sad, "My wife, do you want to be my husband? My wife, please don't leave me. I really love you so much. I can't live without you!"

He was howling without caring about anything, making so much noise that everyone in the convoy looked over. Xiao Ruge suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and quickly reached out to cover his mouth.
