Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

They were all experienced people, how could they not understand what 'not very convenient' meant?

Imperial Consort Zhuang whispered, “Even after falling like that…”

Empress Dowager Zhuang shot a stern glance at Imperial Consort Zhuang, silencing her.

It was quite improper to behave as such in broad daylight, but the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had been affectionate for quite some time now. Everyone in the palace knew that the Crown Prince doted on the Crown Princess alone, to the extent that he even dismissed his prior concubines for her.

Also, when Empress Xiao forcefully arranged for people to serve the Crown Prince, it almost caused a rift between the mother and son.

The Crown Prince firmly tied his heart to Wen Linlang and couldn't bear to leave her for a moment.

But then again, Wen Linlang's talents and beauty indeed lived up to the Crown Prince's favor. There was no other woman in the State of Zhao who was more beautiful and captivating, nor anyone more talented and brilliant as her.

The Crown Prince had waited for her for so many years, and they were married for less than two years. It was reasonable for them to be deeply in love.

But so what if he doted on her a lot? Even till now, she still hadn't conceived a child.

It seemed that her son was still the capable one.

Thinking of this, Imperial Consort Zhuang patted Ning Wangfei's hand and said with a smile, “Take good care of yourself and give birth to a child for Ning Wang next year.”

Ning Wangfei's face turned pale almost instantly.

“You have nothing better to say, do you?” Empress Dowager Zhuang coldly glared at Imperial Consort Zhuang and said to the Ning couple, “Alright, both of you can go back. Don't come to the palace for no reason.”

Imperial Consort Zhuang pursed her lips. She was about to say something, but Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't give her a chance to speak, “You too, look after yourself!”

Imperial Consort Zhuang sulkily kept quiet.

After the Ning couple and Imperial Consort Zhuang left, Empress Dowager Zhuang's ears finally found some peace.

Actually, speaking of being noisy, a little child like Little Jing Kong was noisier than all of them combined, but that child only disturbed the ears and not the mind.

“Grandaunt! Grandaunt! Grandaunt! Grandaunt! Look at the frog I caught!”

Indeed, what you think would come true.

Just as Empress Dowager Zhuang finished mentioning Little Jing Kong, the next second, that mischievous little guy grabbed two frogs and jumped into Empress Dowager Zhuang's arms.

Empress Dowager Zhuang felt the corner of her mouth twitch!

Wasn't he supposed not to disturbed the mind?

How could reality slap her in the face so quickly!

Gu Jiao accompanied Empress Dowager Zhuang back to Renshou Palace and enjoyed a rare moment of leisure. When Empress Dowager Zhuang was about to start reviewing the memorandums, Gu Jiao decided to leave.

Before leaving, Empress Dowager Zhuang suddenly called her, "Liulang has no one else in his heart other than you. Some things are in the past and should be let go."

Gu Jiao was completely puzzled by this random statement. Why did Grandaunt suddenly bring up Xiao Liulang? What past things of him was she holding on to?

After Gu Jiao left, Eunuch Qin brought warm water for Empress Dowager Zhuang to wash her face.

Seeing Empress Dowager Zhuang looking preoccupied, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what's bothering you today?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang replied, "Didn't you see what happened just now?"

Eunuch Qin asked, "Which... which thing is Your Majesty talking about?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang glanced at him and explained, "The Crown Princess got injured, and JiaoJiao voluntarily went to the East Palace to treat her. Does she look like someone compassionate in nature?"

Eunuch Qin: ..Do people really speak that way about their own children? Why do you think Young Miss Gu doesn’t have a compassionate heart?

Cough, speaking of which, it is true that Young Miss Gu can be a bit calculating. She doesn't seem like someone who would willingly treat people in the palace.

Eunuch Qin was still confused, "What is Your Majesty worried about exactly?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed, "I'm worried that she might have already found out about Liulang's identity and is bothered by the fact that he used to have a fiancée."

"Eh..." Eunuch Qin suddenly realized, "That's unlikely, right?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted, "Otherwise, why would she follow her over there to watch the fun?"

Eunuch Qin thought about it and agreed, "Your Majesty has a point."

Little did Gu Jiao know that her actions had already aroused Grandaunt's suspicion and was misinterpreted by Grandaunt as the jealousy of her family’s daughter.

Erm... It was likely she would never experience this so-called jealousy in her entire lifetime.

After leaving Renshou Palace, Gu Jiao didn't go to find Little Jing Kong and Xu Zhouzhou to take them back home. Instead, she went to another place.

Ning Wang and Ning Wangfei left the imperial palace with their two young princesses. The princesses had a specially arranged carriage, and the two of them were carried onto the carriage by their nannies.

Ning Wang helped Ning Wangfei onto the carriage, but he didn't get on himself.

He stood by the carriage window, looking at Ning Wangfei, who seemed a bit tired, through the slightly opened window with a gentle gaze. He spoke slowly, "You must be exhausted. Originally, with your condition, you should have stayed at home and recuperated. It was my oversight."

"It's nothing." Ning Wangfei saw that he didn't get on the carriage and guessed that he wouldn't go back home, but she still asked, "Aren't you going back, Your Highness?"

"Ah." Ning Wang smiled and said, "Little Seven has caused a big mess this time. He must be being punished in the study right now. I have to go and check on him. I can't let imperial father punish him too severely."

He had always been a doting older brother to his younger brother, especially since Little Seven was still young and there was no conflict of interest between them. It was reasonable for him to care for Little Seven from any perspective.

Ning Wangfei stared at him without blinking, and a hint of complexity flashed through her eyes. "Are you really going there?"

Ning Wang was taken aback for a moment, then, under her penetrating gaze, he showed a helpless smile, "You know the Crown Prince's temperament. Although he and Little Seven share the same mother, this time, Little Seven injured the Crown Princess. I'm afraid he is also upset and won't speak up for Little Seven."

Ning Wangfei’s hands grabbed the window, "What if I ask you not to go?"

Ning Wang looked at her with indulgence and helplessness, smiling as he said, "Suxin, don't be silly."

Ning Wangfei lowered her gaze, as if giving up on her unreasonable behavior, and released her tight grip on the carriage window, "Fine."

Ning Wang reached out and gently touched her cold cheek, "Be good, I'll be back soon, and I'll accompany you to the opera tonight."

Ning Wangfei loved to watch operas, and to please his wife, Ning Wang, who was usually not fond of indulging in such activities, decided to keep an opera troupe in the prince’s residence, which showed how deep his affection for his wife was.

Ning Wangfei didn't say anything else to keep him. She softly moved away from the window frame and closed the carriage window.

East Palace.

The Crown Princess leaned against the head of the bed, her sleeves and dress lifted up high. The Crown Prince attentively applied the last bit of jinchuang medicine to her, feeling relieved as he said, "All done. Wait a moment, don't move. Let me check if there are any other wounds."

"There’s no more." The Crown Princess said, "Nothing else hurts."

The Crown Prince responded, "Some areas might not hurt at the moment, but they may bruise and swell later."

The Crown Princess didn't know what to say, so she let him carefully examine her.

After the examination, her cheeks were flushed red.

Originally, he lifted her clothes to apply medicine, but seeing her looking pitiful, blushing, and shy, the Crown Prince suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

However, he wasn't so beastly as to take advantage of Linlang when she was injured.

So, in fact, what Gu Jiao meant by “not very convenient” was just the literal meaning—— the Crown Prince was helping the Crown Princess apply medicine and couldn't receive visitors at the moment. There was no other meaning to it.

Gu Jiao didn't lie at all.

It wasn’t her fault if other people wanted to give it another meaning.
