Nangong Waner strolled around the clothing store and bought a few sets of clothes, then strolled around the pottery store and bought a few small things. Chu Xiuhan was in a good mood and even paid for them on his own accord.
In the end, it was unknown whether Nangong Waner was feeling bad for spending the money or if she was just really hungry. After going through a few more shops, she decided to go eat.
”Let's go eat.” Nangong Waner rubbed his leg somewhat tiredly.
”Okay,” Chu Xiuhan took the few small items that Nangong Waner had just bought.
After eating, Nangong Waner felt sleepy. Maybe it was because he was too tired today, but when he returned to the Duke Palaces, Nangong Waner fell asleep again in the carriage.
Chu Xiuhan carried Nangong Waner in his arms as if he was familiar with the route, and when he thought about how they were going to the border city in the morning, there were some things that Nangong Waner couldn't say even though he wanted to.
”Your Highness, we've arrived at the manor.” The coachman reported from outside the carriage.
Chu Xiuhan directly carried the sleeping Nangong Waner off the carriage, and before he could enter the Duke Palaces courtyard, the eunuch who carried the message from the empress dowager's palace rushed over from afar, and the butler also followed behind him.
”Greetings, Your Highness.” As someone who had seen the world, when he saw the Prince Zhan holding a woman in his arms, even though he was shocked, his face was only a little stiff. His respectful tone of voice was even very respectful.
When he looked at the stewards, coachmen and even servants of the palace and saw that Prince Zhan was acting like this, they were completely accustomed to it. How could they be a little shocked?
Nangong Waner who was in Chu Xiuhan's embrace heard his father-in-law's voice, as he was disturbed in his sleep, and frowned in displeasure. Chu Xiuhan lowered his head and looked at Nangong Waner who was frowning, and glanced at the eunuch unhappily.
Eunuch Hai looked at the cold face of Prince Zhan Lord, who was looking at him with an unhappy expression. He trembled his body in fear. Eunuch Hai did not dare to say another word as he retreated to the side.
Prince Zhan carried Nangong Waner back to Nangong Waner's courtyard. He sat on the bed for a long time, but couldn't bear to put him down, so he remembered that Eunuch Hai was still waiting in the hall. He unhappily placed Nangong Waner onto the bed and covered him up carefully before heading to the hall.
”Prince, the empress dowager told me to pass on a message saying that I haven't seen you for a long time. She really misses you. The empress dowager will meet you at the palace tomorrow morning.” Eunuch Hai spoke with even more respect than before.
The Prince Zhan had never looked directly at Eunuch Hai, and Eunuch Hai could not be blamed either. The Prince Zhan had a cold personality and the empress dowager did not pay attention to him, so who didn't know? But today, he saw that extremely strange scene at the gates of the prince's mansion …
”This King knows, go back.” The Prince Zhan's cold voice dismissed Eunuch Hai.
After Eunuch Hai left, Chu Xiuhan still sat there with a dark expression for a while. The next day was the day they were going to leave, and he had his own plans for tomorrow as well.
”It's not a big deal. I'll head to the palace tomorrow morning and come back early.” Chu Xiuhan thought about it for a while and decided not to care about it anymore.
