Nanny Wang was quick-witted. She had not expected the Crown Princess to be such an intelligent woman. Women in the palace would not live long if they were not intelligent. She believed in the Crown Princess.

She added, "If you are sleepy, Princess, go take a nap."

Jiang Fenghua picked up the book again, "I'm not sleepy, I'll read for a while, Ma'am, go get busy!"

After Nanny Wang left, Jiang Fenghua picked up the manuscript that Lu Xuefei gave her and started reading it.

A moment later, Hongxiu brought Lu Xuefei in, "This servant greets the Crown Princess."

Jiang Fenghua turned her eyes away from the book when she heard the voice. She smiled and said softly, "Miss Lu, please stand up and take a seat!"

"Thank you, Princess." Lu Xuefei sat down respectfully.

Jiang Fenghua asked someone to bring her a cup of delicious iced tea and asked with concern, "Is Miss Lu's injury better now?"

"I'm well now. Thank you, Princess, for your concern." She took a sip of the tea and found it sweet and cool. As it went down her throat, it seemed as if all the heat in her body had dissipated. "This tea is really delicious."

"It's a herbal tea made from lotus leaves. It clears away heat and relieves summer heat. Drink more."

Lu Xuefei was not polite. After drinking her tea, she stood up and knelt in front of Jiang Fenghua. "I came here to ask the Crown Princess to take me in."

Jiang Fenghua was puzzled. "The incident in Chengguang Palace has passed, and I didn't think about it that way. I know that Miss Lu is open-minded. It is also thanks to Miss Lu who took the initiative to step forward and investigate the case that the East Palace has returned to peace." The most important thing is to drive away the two annoying guys.

"The Crown Princess is kind and will not say much, but the palace is full of gossips. Even if they don't say anything, I feel like they are looking at the young lady, and they are more respectful to me." Lu Xuefei said, "I don't want to leave the palace yet. I want to follow the Crown Princess."

"Why do you want to follow me?"

"The Crown Princess said she wanted to see the manuscripts on law that I compiled. If I leave the palace and go home, the first thing I will do is get married. Besides, I may never have the chance to meet the Crown Princess. I still want to compile a volume of cases and show it to the Crown Prince if I have the chance in the future." Lu Xuefei had already seen the manuscripts in the Crown Princess's hands. She explained, "It's not that I want to show off in front of the Crown Prince, but if the Crown Princess thinks it's feasible, she will make the final decision for the Crown Prince."

Jiang Fenghua said, "I haven't had time to read the manuscript you gave me. Look, I just picked it up. If the crown prince agrees that you come to the Dawn Palace, I would also like to learn from you in this area."

"Really? Thank you, Crown Princess." Lu Xuefei kowtowed. "As long as Crown Princess doesn't think Xuefei is scheming and wants to get close to the Crown Prince, I will definitely serve you with all my heart and soul."

"There is no shortage of people to serve me in my palace, but what I lack is a female teacher who understands the law." Jiang Fenghua was also very interested.

In the evening, the prince came to Chenxi Palace again after finishing his work.

Jiang Fenghua told him that Lu Xuefei wanted to go to Chenxi Palace and wanted to ask the prince's opinion. After all, it was the prince who had the final say on whether he would release her or not.

Xie Shang stared at her eyes and felt them bright. He said in a gentle voice, "Lu Xuefei told you everything about why she entered the palace!"

"Having said that, I also like this girl. She is smart, thoughtful, and courageous. Her family background is not bad either. As the daughter of Lu Tingwei, she may be able to help Your Highness in the future. It's a pity that the Crown Prince did not marry her into the East Palace."

Xie Shang knew what Jiang Fenghua was thinking, and deliberately said, "It's a pity that others look down on me. I now know that I am not wanted by everyone. I never do anything to force others."

In other words, if Lu Xuefei agrees to enter the East Palace, he will accept it, right?

Xie Shang took the manuscript left by Lu Xuefei on the table and looked at it again, "Why is Ruan Ruan interested in the law? Is there anything in this world that Ruan Ruan is not interested in, or that I don't know about?" He said this on purpose.

"Your Highness, just ask whatever you want to ask. I have said that I will tell you everything I know." Jiang Fenghua knew what he was going to ask, and she knew that he was confused, but she had already thought of an answer.

This matter can only be explained clearly if it is laid out, and she has to make sure there are no loopholes.

Xie Shang really didn't know how to ask. Thinking about Jiang Fenghua's various behaviors after marrying him, they were very different from the Jiang Fenghua he knew now. She even pretended to be weak in front of him. Apart from pretending to be weak, he couldn't think of what else Jiang Fenghua pretended to be in front of him. She seemed to be open and honest and did not deliberately hide anything.

"It's enough for me to know that Ruan Ruan is fine." Xie Shang stroked her cheek, "Nothing else matters."

He didn't want to face the hidden side of Jiang Fenghua. Jiang Fenghua was very good like this, even if she had used some harmless tricks on him.

Jiang Fenghua knew that Su Tingwan's words had made him suspicious. He cared about her in his heart, and he cared even more about whether she was sincere to him.

"Your Highness, do you think I am very smart?" She didn't want to plant a thorn in Xie Shang's heart. It didn't hurt now, but what about in the future?

The best solution is to talk it out.

Xie Shang said, "Yes, Ruan Ruan is very smart."

"Your Highness, do you think Ruan Ruan is also very scheming? Su Tingwan's words still made Your Highness doubt Ruan Ruan, so Your Highness took me to ride a horse to test it out. Your Highness saw that Ruan Ruan could ride a horse and even do some other things. Your Highness felt that he had never understood the real Ruan Ruan."

"I..." Xie Shang hesitated to speak. Only now did he realize that Su Tingwan had deceived him. What about Jiang Fenghua?

Jiang Fenghua became more and more calm, "Your Highness is wondering why I don't act like a gentle girl from a scholarly family. It's obvious that Your Highness loves me because of that. But Ruan Ruan can tell Your Highness that Ruan Ruan has never hurt anyone from the beginning to the end. I am still me." She has never taken the initiative to hurt anyone. At most, she seduced others to hurt her, tempted him to like her, and let the crimes of the Su family be exposed in front of him. She wants to deal with the Su family.

Xie Shang was stunned. He did not deny that it was rare to be so calm with her. This feeling made him very comfortable because there was a voice deep in his heart telling him that even if Jiang Fenghua had schemed against him, he would not be willing to blame her. He liked her and could tolerate her.

Just like he would tolerate Su Tingwan's harmless little temper.

He asked himself what kind of Jiang Fenghua he loved. He used to love her because she was kind and innocent, but she hid so much from him.

Jiang Fenghua took the initiative to close the door, and then walked to Xie Shang. She spoke slowly, "In fact, when the imperial decree of my father's marriage was delivered to the Jiang Mansion, the Jiang family was timid. How could such a good thing fall into the hands of a teacher's daughter? My father even thought about disobeying the decree."

Xie Shang clenched his fingers after hearing this, "Why do you want to disobey the order?"

"Why else? Of course he doesn't want his daughter to marry Your Highness." Jiang Fenghua added, "My father has been a teacher all his life. What do you think of his knowledge?"

Jiang Fenghua used the most gentle and sincere tone to persuade him. She was sure that he would not be willing to let her go because Xie Shang had fallen in love with her.

"Master Jiang's knowledge is naturally excellent." Xie Shang said with certainty.
