Nangong Wan'er knew that King Yan must be making fun of her telling Liu Hong to stop the meal, so she was at a loss for words, ”I … ”I just feel that it's a waste. Wasting is a shameful action, who wants to rule over you?” Nangong Wan'er seemed to have thought of something and said blushing, ”Besides, I am not yours.

Prince Zhan looked at Nangong Waner's cute little girl posture and liked her very much. She lowered her head and gently kissed Nangong Waner's forehead.

Nangong Waner's face became even redder, ”You, you, can you restrain yourself a bit? Let's do it in public.”

”Alright, hurry up and eat. The food is getting cold.” With that, Prince Zhan let go of Nangong Waner gently, and personally picked up a bowl and chopsticks, and started to serve the dishes to Nangong Waner.

Liu Hong stood respectfully at the side the entire time. She knew, the Prince did not like to pretend to be someone else's servant when it came to serving the young miss.

It was unknown if it was because Nangong Waner was extremely hungry or if it had been a long time since he had eaten such a sumptuous meal, because while the Prince Zhan ate, he ate and ate, and he ate a lot of the food. Even Nangong Waner was somewhat amazed, when did his appetite become so huge?

Having just finished eating, Nangong Waner felt a little satisfied. He looked outside the window, and saw that it was already very dark. It was really late, so Nangong Waner was in a hurry to return to the Assistant Minister’s Residence.

”Chu Xiuhan.”

”Right.”

”It's a bit late, if I'm late, my dad would know. Call the carriage from the manor and take me back.” He did not know why, but after interacting with Chu Xiuhan for a day, thinking of their parting, Nangong Waner felt a lot of reluctance. He hugged Prince Zhan's arm and asked the Duke to send him off.

”The royal carriage is broken.” Prince Zhan looked at Nangong Waner, his lips curling into a smile, as he said mischievously.

”What?” You are lying to me. You are the great prince of the Tian Sheng Empire, how could the carriage in the Palace be broken? ”

”En, that's bad, if you don't believe me, you can ask Liu Hong.”

Yes, Miss, the Prince Zhan's Mansion's carriage has been broken for quite some time, and it is not suitable for you to return while it is still deep in the night, so why don't you stay at the Prince's Mansion for tonight? Liu Hong still stood there respectfully, his tone serious to the point that it didn't seem like he was lying.

Nangong Waner calculated in his mind. In the past, sitting in a carriage from Assistant Minister’s Residence to Prince Zhan's Mansion would take at least an hour. Then, wouldn't it be necessary for me to walk back to my residence? Nangong Waner asked.

”I'm afraid four hours isn't good. There's been a lot of snow in Shangjing City these days, and the sun has already melted a lot of snow water. The temperature is too low at night, and I'm afraid there's ice on the road, making it difficult to walk.” Four hours is probably not good, and a lot of snow has fallen in Shangjing City these days. The Prince Zhan patiently analyzed to Nangong Waner.

”I'm afraid we'll need to walk until daybreak after six hours …” Nangong Waner was a little helpless, ”Then let's stay in Prince Zhan's Mansion tonight.”

Prince Zhan was very satisfied with Nangong Waner's intelligent decision, so Liu Hong could be considered to be relieved.

”Liu Hong, then please help me clean up. It's a bit late, I'm going back to my courtyard to rest. I'll have to trouble Liu Hong to help me wash tonight.” Although Nangong Waner had woken up not long ago, his body was still rather tired. After finishing his meal, Nangong Waner suddenly felt sleepy again.

Liu Hong was speechless, and did not know what to do in a daze.
