“Sister Wanwan, you should know whether His Highness loves you or not.” Yu Lian’er looked at the increasingly thin Yang Wanwan, and she couldn’t help but slow down her speech: “Although I don’t know what those concerns buried in your heart are, if you really love His Highness, you should believe him - no matter how big the problem is, it is his job to solve it. After all, who made him…”

Yu Lian'er stopped to think for a moment before she continued, "Who makes him such a sentimental person?"

"I don't like him..." Yang Wanwan shook her head when she heard that, but unfortunately she didn't have enough confidence to speak so her voice was as soft as a mosquito's.

"Don't like it?" Yu Lian'er suddenly frowned: "Then why do you treasure the jade pendant he gave you so much?"

"I..." Yang Wanwan pursed her lips when she heard that, then reached into her arms and grasped the dragon-patterned jade pendant that she was wearing on her chest.

The girl said nothing more.

There was another long silence in the carriage.

"Go back." Yu Lian'er knew that she had said everything she needed to say, and there was no need to say anything more.

"Lian'er, you are quite generous." Seeing that Yu Lian'er showed the demeanor of a lady from beginning to end, Wei Shuyi suddenly said, "It's a pity that the bad guy may not know everything you have done for him..."

"I'm not doing this for anyone to see." Yu Lian'er smiled when she heard this: "Besides, who says I'm magnanimous? I just... don't want him to be embarrassed..."

-------------------------------------

Yu Lian'er didn't want to put His Royal Highness the King of Chu in a difficult position, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu was really in a dilemma today.

After settling Feng Jiaojiao, it was almost evening. His Royal Highness the King of Chu and his good retainer Wang Xuance, who came to apologize, hurried and hurried, and finally at dusk, they met the King of Chu's wife, who was said to have the "potential to be an empress", outside the city of Chang'an.

"Your Highness, my journey has been really..." Yuan Tiangang, who was currently acting as a groom, started to complain to His Highness the King of Chu and take credit for his troubles as soon as he got on the stage.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll make you some old duck soup later." His Royal Highness the King of Chu casually responded to the ignorant retainer while riding his horse to the front of the carriage: "Little Wu Xu, I am your——"

"Don't call me by my name!" Wu Xu, who was already resentful because it was her first time away from home alone, was upset when she heard the rumored "hero" and "brave" Prince of Chu, who was mainly described by Taoist Yuan as speaking to her in such a frivolous manner. The daughter of a duke who grew up under the doting of her father, immediately expressed her indignation: How could this person be completely different from what her father and Taoist Yuan said? !

As soon as he thought of this, Wu Xu immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and then got off the carriage alone.

"You--" Wu Xu was about to open her mouth to continue accusing the other party, but after she saw the appearance of the person clearly, the little girl stopped talking for a moment.

"Hmm?!" At the same time, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu looked at the stunning beauty in front of him who was about the same age as him, and his mind went blank for a moment.

That's not right...

Didn't you tell me that this daughter-in-law was chosen by you through fortune-telling? -- She was still in her infancy, and was forced to be engaged to me. Logically, shouldn't this little girl be much younger than me?

But how come I see her... She is about the same age as me? No... Maybe even older?! This... Gangzi must give me a reasonable explanation when he returns! Otherwise, I will not forgive him!

"Your Highness, Prince of Chu, this is the youngest daughter of Duke Ying, Wu Xu." Seeing that the little girl was silent, Yuan Tiangang thought she was just being stubborn and unwilling to give in. "Your Highness, Prince of Chu, this journey has been long and arduous, and Miss Wu has suffered a lot."

"Didn't I ask you to arrange more people to take care of it?" After hearing what Yuan Tiangang said, His Royal Highness the King of Chu frowned and looked at him: "Why don't you do as I said?"

"Your Highness, I have naturally followed your instructions." Yuan Tiangang saw that the master had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained, "It was just that the trip was delayed yesterday. Miss Wu was afraid of missing you, so she took the initiative to leave the convoy and let me escort her to Chang'an first."

“Is that so…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded upon hearing this, and then he turned his gaze to the stunning girl whose cheeks were not only dyed red by the setting sun, “Miss Wu, I was rude before, please don’t blame me - I thought you were much younger than me, so…”

"That's not the case..." Wu Xu curled her lips when she heard that, but then she said, "Your Highness, Prince Chu, is what Taoist Yuan told me true? You are so majestic in the northwest!"

“Ha…ha…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu looked at the girl who had grown up under the protection of her father and said with a smile: “So so so so so so…”

Perhaps because he felt that his overly modest words might not arouse the other party's interest, His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly said, "I hope that one day in the future, every Tang person can be as majestic as I am in front of other races!"

"..." After Wu Xu heard what His Royal Highness the King of Chu said from the bottom of his heart, she was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled at the young man in front of her. A strange look began to appear in the girl's eyes: "Your Highness has great ambitions!"

"Better than my tyrant." His Royal Highness the King of Chu laughed and said, "But isn't it appropriate for us to chat here now? After all, if we don't leave now, the city gate will be closed."

"You are calling His Majesty... a tyrant?" Wu Xu obviously had never thought that someone could actually curse the emperor like this.

"This is a nickname I give to my father." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, and then winked at Wu Xu: "Are you really not leaving? I won't be able to open the city gates when they are closed later."

"It's okay, Your Highness. At worst, we can go back to Yushan to gather manpower." Yuan Tiangang always remembered that his Highness had really considered how to attack Chang'an City. Of course, this was also a well-known secret and was not surprising.

"Ah?!" Wu Xu felt that Chang'an was a very dangerous place: "Master Yuan, why are you also..."

"Miss Wu, I am a retainer of His Majesty the King of Chu. If I don't follow the crowd... bah bah bah...if I don't learn to be humble, then I am destined to be abandoned by His Majesty." Seeing Wu Xu's surprised expression, Yuan Tiangang immediately explained to her with a smile, and turned to Wang Xuance, who for the first time did not take the initiative to speak, and said: "Brother Xuance, don't you think this is true?"

"Master Yuan loves to joke." Wang Xuance was silent for a moment, then laughed, "But I have to admit that what Master Yuan said actually makes sense."

When working under His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, it is unacceptable to be unpopular with the public.
