Only when you travel quickly can you avoid being a stepping stone for the protagonist.

"Do you like these flowers?" Nan Qian asked Mu Qing expectantly.

Mu Qing came back to her senses, feeling extremely happy and smiling: "Well, I like it very much, the flowers are very beautiful."

what to do? I love her so much. It’s great that I can have her. I love her so much...

Mu Qing hugged Peony and said at a loss, "I should be the one to deliver the bouquet."

"Hey." Nan Qian waved her hand: "Not necessarily, I like you too, why can't I give you flowers?"

Mu Qing was directly hit by Nan Qian's straight shot and blushed, hesitating: "I... this flower..."

"Are you happy now? Look what this is?" Nan Qian took out something and put it into Mu Qing's hand.

"Say it first, don't laugh at me."

Mu Qing opened the palm of her hand out of curiosity, and there was a not-so-good-looking wooden sculpture lying inside. She could vaguely tell it was a kitten with a posed face.

"This is……"

Nan Qian touched her nose sheepishly: "I thought you looked like a cat, so I carved this for you. This is my true token of love."

"If you don't think it looks good, I can take it back and change it..."

"Did you carve this yourself?" Mu Qing interrupted Nan Qian's last sentence.

"Yes."

Mu Qing held the flowers and wooden carvings and remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly, Mu Qing took a step forward and hugged Nan Qian.

He doesn't want to worry about the relationship between men and women, or the restraint a man should have. He just wants to hug the lover in front of him.

"I really like……"

Nan Qian felt shy and hugged Mu Qing: "Okay, I know you like these things very much."

Mu Qing hugged Nan Qian, feeling the violent heartbeat, and didn't let go for a long time.

He likes Nan Qian, and therefore likes the things she uses to express her feelings.

…………

Jiang Rongyu didn't know how he got back.

His mind was filled with the fiery red peonies and the unattractive wood carvings.

Is this how the Third Princess behaves when she really likes a man?

What she has done, I am afraid not many women in the world can do it. Even if she likes her, what woman doesn't have one or two male concubines?

Why did she give a token of love?

His eyes almost burned from the red peony.

But he can be sure now that the Third Princess no longer likes him. Her heart is with a man, and she is the only one.

As soon as he stepped through the door, he met the eldest princess Nan Qingye.

The eldest princess had nothing important to do. After sending Jiang Rongyu off on the street, she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a guest.

At this time, Jiang Rongyu came home and met Nan Qingye who was about to leave.

Nan Qingye spoke directly: "It's been a long time. She really has thoughts about you, otherwise she wouldn't have taken you shopping for so long. It seems that the plan has a chance."

This is what the eldest princess said when she came back. It seems that he cannot tell the eldest princess the real situation, otherwise he will not be able to hold the third princess and let her take advantage of his family's power, and he will soon be abandoned.

Does Nan Qingye like Jiang Rongyu? Of course I like it.

But Nan Qingye loves power and that position even more.

Jiang Rongyu knew it himself.

He must find another way to keep the eldest princess, and find a way so that the eldest princess cannot abandon him.

He didn't even think about snatching Nan Qian back, because what he saw today left an irresistible impression in his heart.

He had no confidence in being able to snatch such a woman away from such an act of cherishing the Imperial Master.

He nodded as a response to Nan Qingye and said, "But my heart still belongs to Her Royal Highness, and she cannot get into my eyes."

Nan Qingye was very satisfied with Jiang Rongyu's words. She and Nan Qian were not at odds with each other, and the man she liked liked her, which gave her a great sense of accomplishment.

"I like you too, Rong Yu, but for now, please feel aggrieved for a moment and continue to fish for the Three Emperors Sister. When our goal is achieved, you will become my official husband, and then you don't have to feel aggrieved anymore."

Feeling wronged...?

He suddenly thought of the red peony and the wooden sculpture again.

If he had chosen the Third Princess from the beginning, would he have been treated like this?

no! I can't think about it anymore! The eldest princess is his choice. She is better than ordinary women. The third princess is not something ordinary women would do!

Everyone is like this.

What he has to do now is to keep the eldest princess.
