Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Qin Ruhuan signaled Bai Xiaoru to stop talking, "Princess, why is this happening?"

She looked humble, no longer as arrogant as before. Her hair was tied up in a bun, with only a simple jade hairpin inserted in it. Her face was not made up, but it made her look even more beautiful.

When Qin Ruhuan saw her like this, she was immediately puzzled: What is Xiao Ya trying to do?

"Princess, who would believe you if you came to apologize? Doesn't it sound funny?" Bai Xiaoru said sarcastically.

"What I did before was extremely ridiculous. I have been reflecting on it recently and feel that I was extremely wrong, so I came to apologize today!" Xiao Ya said sincerely.

"In that case, please come in!" Qin Ruhuan didn't understand why Xiao Ya was behaving out of character today.

Xiao Ya followed Qin Ruhuan into the hall. Princess Xiao Ya first bowed to Xiao Jingxuan, her voice choking with sobs: "Prince Jing, I was too willful and reckless before, and I didn't know the etiquette. I was blinded by my obsession and completely ignored your feelings, causing you a lot of trouble and worries."

"Now I have come to my senses, and I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive my mistakes."

She lowered her head deeply, clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and her body trembled slightly.

Then, she turned to Qin Ruhuan, her eyes full of sincerity and apology: "Princess Jing, I was narrow-minded and jealous before, and I was disrespectful and offensive to you. I said many hurtful words and did many excessive things because of my momentary impulse. Here, I sincerely apologize to you and pray for your forgiveness."

After saying that, she bit her lip, her eyes full of anticipation.

Then, Princess Xiao Ya looked at Gu Junheng with a guilty look on her face. She bit her lower lip and said softly, "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry for all my inappropriate behavior before. I made you laugh and caused you trouble. I was swayed by my emotions and lost my sense of proportion. I hope you can be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."

There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, as if she was worried that Gu Junheng would not forgive her.

Xiao Jingxuan nodded slightly, his expression softened a little, and said: "Since the princess has admitted her mistakes and can correct them, I will not pursue the past. I hope the princess can think more carefully in the future."

Qin Ruhuan smiled and responded: "It is truly commendable that the princess has such an awareness. Let's put the past behind us. I hope the princess will be more open-minded in the future."

Although Gu Junheng was annoyed with him, he couldn't show it too obviously, so he could only say: "Since the princess said so, we have nothing to say. I hope the princess will think more carefully in the future!"

Xiao Ya breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head, still with a hint of caution in her eyes: "Thank you, Prince Jing, Sister Ruhuan, and Master Gu for giving me this opportunity to make amends."

Then, as if she had mustered up her courage, she continued, "I am fully aware of how ridiculous my past behavior was, and I have been reflecting on it during this period. To express my sincerity, I have specially prepared some small gifts, and I hope you will not despise them."

After saying that, the maid behind her presented the gift box.

Xiao Ya opened the gift box herself, which contained some precious calligraphy and paintings and jewelry.

"I selected these calligraphy and paintings from my family collection, and I also prepared these jewelry carefully. I hope you all like them." There was a hint of anticipation and uneasiness in Xiao Ya's voice.

Xiao Jingxuan nodded slightly: "The princess is thoughtful."

Qin Ruhuan smiled and said, "The princess's gift is so sincere, we can't refuse her kindness!"

Gu Junheng also said: "Thank you, Princess."

Xiao Ya finally showed a smile on her face. In that smile, there was both relief and expectation for the future: "I will be careful with my words and actions in the future and will not cause any more trouble for you. I also hope to have the opportunity to interact more with you and make up for my past mistakes." After that, she turned around and left.

After Xiao Ya left, everyone was still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere, continuing to clink glasses, talking and laughing loudly, drinking and chatting to their heart's content.

Time passed quietly, and before we knew it, it was already evening. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the earth with a layer of magnificent colors, and everyone dispersed with a lingering feeling.

After everyone left, the palace gradually returned to its former tranquility.

Only then did Qin Ruhuan calm down and look carefully around the palace.

Every blade of grass, every brick and tile here seemed to be telling her the story of the years.

This was where she would live for the rest of her life. Her heart was filled with curiosity and eager anticipation for the future.

At this time, Xiao Jingxuan accompanied her attentively, and they strolled leisurely in the garden together.

The gentle breeze was like a gentle messenger, blowing gently, lifting the hem of her skirt and making it flutter and dance.

The two walked side by side, sometimes whispering, sometimes smiling at each other, as if all the troubles in this world had nothing to do with them.

Qin Ruhuan returned to the new house and looked around happily.

The new house was decorated extremely exquisitely, with red silk curtains, brocade quilts and embroidered pillows, exuding a festive atmosphere everywhere.

However, she looked again and again and found that there was no bookcase in the house.

She frowned slightly, turned around and said to Xiao Jingxuan, "Your Majesty, everything in this room is good, but why is there no bookcase? I love reading, and I always feel like something is missing without a bookcase to put my books in."

When Xiao Jingxuan heard this, he hurried to her side, gently held her hand, and said apologetically: "Ruhuan, I was negligent and didn't even consider this. Don't be angry, I will ask someone to buy it for you right away."

Qin Ruhuan shook her head gently, with a faint smile on her lips: "I'm not angry, I just think that if there is a bookcase, this room will be more perfect."

Xiao Jingxuan immediately shouted, "Fei Ye! Go find a good mahogany bookcase quickly. It must be made with meticulous workmanship and without any sloppiness."

Fei Ye took the order and left. Not long after, he and several others brought back an exquisite mahogany bookcase.

Qin Ruhuan walked forward and gently stroked the smooth surface of the bookcase, her eyes full of joy: "This bookcase is really beautiful, Your Majesty, thank you very much."

Xiao Jingxuan looked at her satisfied expression and said with a smile: "As long as it can make you happy, let alone a bookcase, even the stars in the sky, I will try to pick them for you."

Qin Ruhuan glanced at him coquettishly: "You are the only one who can say these sweet words to coax me."

"Come on! I'll take you somewhere!" Xiao Jingxuan said anxiously, and pulled her away without saying anything.

The two of them walked quickly to the backyard of the palace, passed through the winding corridors, walked past the rockery of various shapes, and a wide open space suddenly appeared before their eyes.

"Wow! It's actually a martial arts training ground! You can even shoot arrows and ride horses!" Qin Ruhuan shouted excitedly, with surprise flashing in her bright eyes.

She had been busy getting married recently and hadn’t practiced for a while, so when she saw the martial arts training ground, she suddenly became excited!
