Nangong Waner was still thinking of getting up early in the morning and not seeing Chu Xiuhan's people anymore. Presumably, he also knew to avoid suspicion and return to the Duke's Palace early.

Only, the Prince Zhan had agreed to let Nangong Waner enter the palace with her. When Nangong Waner stood at the entrance of the Assistant Minister’s Residence to wait for the carriage, he was still wondering if Chu Xiuhan would come to pick her up or if he would go to the palace to wait for her.

The corner of Nangong Waner's mouth raised slightly. He thought in his heart that with Chu Xiuhan's personality, he would definitely come to Assistant Minister’s Residence to pick her up …

Thus, Nangong Waner stood at the entrance of the Assistant Minister’s Residence, and looked into the distance with a faint smile. A beautiful carriage gradually entered Nangong Waner's field of vision. Nangong Waner laughed even more, and just like that, he stood silently at the door, smiling slightly as he watched the Prince Zhan's Mansion carriage get closer and closer, his heart seemingly at peace, filled with a sense of security.

Nangong Waner smiled lightly, a little absent-minded.

Just as she was in a daze, Zi Ye drove the horse carriage to a stable stop in front of Nangong Waner. Prince Zhan suddenly lifted up the carriage's curtain and jumped down, while carrying Nangong Waner back to the horse carriage.

Chu Xiuhan carried Nangong Waner in his arms, and after entering the carriage, he gave Nangong Waner a light kiss on the forehead, ”Explain, huh?” Chu Xiuhan looked deeply at Nangong Waner, his expression gloomy.

Nangong Waner was confused by his question, ”Explain what?” Nangong Waner opened his eyes wide and asked Chu Xiuhan.

”Explain why you keep smiling when you look at Zi Ye?” Prince Zhan curled his lips and lightly said.

When Zi Ye heard Prince Zhan's words, he almost drove the horse carriage into the ditch. Fortunately, his resistance was strong, and he quickly calmed his mood. Zi Ye was outside the carriage as he shouted in an aggrieved manner.

Just now, Nangong Waner's body had swayed from Zi Ye's mistake in driving the carriage, and the body that had just sat up instantly swayed again, entering into the arms of the Prince Zhan. Nangong Waner was truly speechless, he did not expect that the famous Prince Zhan was actually a jealous guy who liked to fight for food.

”Chu Xiuhan, I just... Just now I was just thinking about sitting in the carriage with you. If you continue to speak nonsense in the future, I'll ignore you. ” Nangong Waner puffed his cheeks and said angrily.

Prince Zhan was in a good mood after hearing that. He sat beside Nangong Waner with a faint smile on his face.

Whether on purpose or not, the carriage of the Prince Zhan did not move at a fast speed, and it seemed to be leisurely walking. After walking for a while, without even seeing the shadow of the palace, Nangong Waner could not help but become anxious, ”Chu Xiuhan, Zi Ye doesn't know the way, why is it that he still hasn't arrived after walking for so long?”

However, the Prince Zhan didn't seem to care at all, and indifferently said, ”What's the rush, we'll just follow our steps.”

Nangong Waner was helpless, he could only allow Chu Xiuhan to enter the palace slowly.

The empress dowager would usually look at the concubines of the empress dowager who came to admire the flowers together with them. It was unknown just how many years she had seen these concubines of the empress dowager, but not a single one of them gave birth to a child or a woman for the empress dowager. When the empress dowager thought of these sons of hers, she could not help but gasp for breath.

Qin Ruxue comforted the empress dowager, ”Aunt, with Big Brother Emperor's personality, he has probably neglected the concubines of the imperial harem. We should have called them to come to the gathering together, so as to increase our relationship with Big Brother Emperor.”

”My Xue'er is still the smartest. Alright, let's do as you say, call a few of your concubines over to help us enjoy ourselves.” The empress dowager looked at Qin Ruxue with a praising smile.

Thus, today was quite a rare day. Early in the morning, the emperor and the empress dowager sat in the leader's seat, waiting for the empress dowager to sit on the right side of them. Qin Ruxue sat next to the empress dowager along with Imperial Concubine Fu and a few other concubines.
