Jiang Fenghua's eyelashes fluttered, her little face flushed red, and her slender fingers gathered her already thin outer garment, the more it covered up her graceful waist, and her pair of bare feet were fully exposed in front of him, making her look as lovable as an elf.

Xie Shang quickly averted his eyes and said coldly, "Put on your clothes."

Jiang Fenghua looked down and saw that she was exposed. She twisted her willow waist and walked past him. She hurriedly pulled her clothes and put them on while explaining softly, "It's not that I don't know the rules. Please allow me to explain, Your Majesty. My outer robe was burned during the day. I was afraid that it would damage my appearance. After returning to the room, I asked someone to prepare water for bathing. I wanted to put on my makeup again, but maybe I was too tired and fell asleep accidentally. I forgot the time."

"The King doesn't mind." His voice was distant and cold, his eyes dim and clearly revealing his displeasure.

She thought: For someone who doesn’t care, he won’t care even if you take off all your clothes.

Jiang Fenghua's eyes sparkled. She timidly stepped aside, her eyes filled with anxiety. She bit her cherry-red lips and murmured, "A series of wedding rituals taught by Nanny Wang..."

Looking at the weak and timid girl in front of him, it seemed that he had frightened her. The coldness in his eyes subsided slightly, and he lowered his tone, "Sit down."

"Your Highness, please take a seat first." Jiang Fenghua smiled.

The smile on her face seemed to be contagious, causing his heart to tremble violently.

Xie Shang sat on the edge of the bed with a sullen face. He tried not to look at her, and his face remained stiff and deliberately cold.

Jiang Fenghua pretended not to understand his aloofness and sat down beside him without any scruples, her cheeks flushed, "Madame Wang said..."

"Don't just listen to what Nanny Wang says. I have something to tell you now." Xie Shang interrupted her, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. Nanny Wang was the eyes of his mother, watching him all the time.

"Your Highness, please speak." Jiang Fenghua immediately stopped talking, and looked at the man next to her with her bright eyes in confusion.

Xie Shang was indeed good-looking, with a jade-inlaid purple-gold crown on his head, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, with narrow corners of his eyes, which made him look very heroic. He had a high nose bridge and thin lips, which revealed a sense of alienation and coldness.

His facial features were as sharp and angular as if they were sculptures, and he was extremely handsome. No wonder she loved him so much in her last life. It was a pity that he already had someone in his heart and could no longer accommodate anyone else.

Now, to her, Xie Shang can only be a stepping stone for her to gain power, and she will no longer have any feelings for him.

But good-looking people are indeed attractive, and she approached him inadvertently.

Xie Shang keenly sensed Jiang Fenghua approaching. Her outer robe suddenly opened, revealing only a scarlet gauze underneath, her graceful body faintly visible. He stood up abruptly, convinced that the person he loved was Su Tingwan.

His expression suddenly turned cold, and his voice was ruthless and indifferent, "This prince has someone he likes, and he promised that he would only love her in this life. Apart from her, this prince's heart can no longer accommodate another woman, so this prince will not consummate the marriage with you. What Nanny Wang said to you is wrong. Only two people who truly love each other can be honest with each other and do that kind of thing."

Jiang Fenghua opened her eyes wide, her face calm, and she said softly, "It turns out that Your Highness already has someone he likes!"

A man's mouth is a lie. After Xie Shang ascends the throne, his harem will be filled, and the royal family will not allow him to like only one person. In the future, he will know how cruel reality is and how insignificant his love with Su Tingwan is.

Her eyes were filled with confusion and innocence, and she said slowly, "Ever since the imperial decree of marriage was sent to the Jiang Mansion, my mother has told me that I can only like His Highness, but I have never seen His Highness before, so how can I like His Highness? Since His Highness has a girl he likes, he should strive to marry her back!"

What she meant was: You already have someone you like, but you don't have the ability to marry him/her, so what does it have to do with me? I don't like you, but I still married you, just because it was hard to refuse the emperor's will.

She just wanted to tell him that she didn't mean to come between them, but that she was married into Prince Heng's mansion as a princess by imperial decree.

She understood Xie Shang and knew that she would be best off being a blank sheet of paper in front of him. A man's possessiveness was much stronger than she imagined.

Xie Shang was stunned by her reaction, his eyes full of inquiry. She came close to him for no reason just now, didn’t she want something?

I saw that her eyes were clear and open, and there was nothing unusual on her face. Instead, I suddenly felt flustered because of her approaching me.

When she thought that Jiang Fenghua was already his princess, she didn't mind at all when she heard that her husband had a woman he liked. Or maybe it was really as she said, she didn't like him, so she didn't mind.

He confirmed again, "You really don't mind her coming into the house?"

"A woman that His Highness likes must be the best. Why should I mind? Nanny Wang said that since you are the prince's princess, you should worry more about the prosperity of the prince's family. The princess's duties include selecting suitable women to serve His Highness. I will pay more attention to it in the future." So what if you disagree? Is crying useful? You will marry her as usual in three days. Why don't I do you a favor? In this life, I want to see with my own eyes how strong your love is with Su Tingwan.

Xie Shang saw that her eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, her voice was soft and gentle, her face was calm, her eyes were sincere, and her expression was changeable, as if she really didn't care at all that her husband had another woman in his heart.

But when she found out that he had a girl he liked, she seemed relieved.

Xie Shang looked at such a calm woman and felt inexplicably annoyed. Is she really so magnanimous?

"Your Highness, are you going to bed now?" Jiang Fenghua asked proactively.

Xie Shang's heart trembled violently, "Now that everything has been made clear, I will go to the study to sleep."

"Don't misunderstand, Your Majesty. Nothing will happen between us. We are just going to bed. Can we sleep separately?" She bravely said, "Your Majesty must have worked hard all day. Why bother to disturb the servants? It's better to sleep here. Besides, it's so late. If Your Majesty goes to the study alone from his newlywed wife's room, I'm afraid that tomorrow I will be complained by Madam Wang for not fulfilling my wife's responsibilities."

After hearing this, Xie Shang began to think more carefully. After all, Jiang Fenghua was married to the emperor by marriage, so he couldn't neglect her too much. Since she agreed to marry Wan'er and agreed not to have a wedding night, he had no reason to sleep in the study room again.

Besides, if he left tonight, Master Jiang's daughter would be ignored by her husband on her wedding night, and if it got out, he would have a hard time explaining himself.

As long as Jiang Fenghua knows the big picture, he won't make things difficult for her.

"I will help Your Majesty change his clothes," she said.

"No need." Xie Shang avoided her and walked straight behind the screen. He had been busy all day and drank a lot of wine at night. He was already tired and needed to wash up.

Jiang Fenghua looked indifferent, not surprised at all. She had already washed up, so she didn't care about Xie Shang and climbed onto the bed, getting into a comfortable position and slept alone.
