Xiao Jingran's face turned a little better. After some thought, she continued, "Princess would stay in the front courtyard. The back courtyard was originally a side room without a concubine, and Princess would stay there for a few days as well. Now that the side room has been filled, it's no longer appropriate for Princess to stay there."

Ruan Qiuyan trembled. Was this a reward or a punishment?

She quickly recalled the house in the front yard and discovered … Only Xiao Jingran's room was occupied by her master, and the rest was set aside for the guests.

"Front yard... When was the courtyard newly built? "

"Why new? "Does the princess not know where to sleep?" Xiao Jingran wasn't happy with her refusal.

"But …"

"Is this what the princess says?" Xiao Jingran raised her brows slightly, but the ink-black eyes under her beautiful eyebrows became increasingly deep.

"I don't dare to. I will do as the prince says. However, I still have some things to take care of in my room. When Qingmei is done packing up, I will move to the front courtyard."

Ruan Qiuyan didn't expect things to turn out this way. She couldn't refuse now, so she had to delay it for a few days to convince herself.

"There's no need. There will be someone in your residence who will be specifically responsible for everything you do." Xiao Jingran thought about the chaste girl that had fallen last time and thought to herself, "Also, as the consort of the Duke Nan Qi Palace, you should wear whatever you want. If someone is tripping over you here, just dispose of them. No need to ask me."

Ruan Qiuyan's heart was once again in turmoil. Just what was Xiao Jingran planning to do? He wasn't afraid that she would have so much power in her hands. In the future …

No, she would not. She could not, from the moment she saw this man, she knew that this man's chest was filled with more than just Nan Qi. This man was not simple.

It was night when Xiao Jingran entered the room and didn't see Ruan Qiuyan.

His name was Ann Ting. "Where's the wangfei?"

He believed that Ruan Qiuyan wouldn't dare to defy his words after the previous few beatings. If he were to hide now, how long would he be able to hide for?

"The wangfei is in the backyard packing up some important things with the servant girl. She said she'll be right over." Ann Ting was happy to see the current situation.

"What's so important about the backyard that I don't have in my front yard? Have the wangfei come over in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea and wait upon me to change. "

Xiao Jingran brushed her sleeves as she entered. Her black silk flowed behind her wide sleeves like a waterfall, flowing like a wave. The dark, floating golden patterns on her sleeves were so expensive that they couldn't be looked at.

Ann Ting answered from outside, "Yes, Your Highness."

When Ruan Qiuyan heard this, she felt as if water had been poured over her. She had no choice but to console herself, but to change clothes, not to bathe.

Then she went to her death.

Ruan Qiuyan didn't dare to delay any longer. Sure enough, they had arrived in the time it takes to make a cup of tea. However, Xiao Jingran had already changed her clothes and was sitting in a meditative posture in the middle of the bed.

She did not know what she meant, but she said, "Your Highness, I've come."

"There's a wooden bucket behind the screen, go ahead." Xiao Jingran did not open her eyes.

Ruan Qiuyan looked calm on the outside, but the waves in her heart had already touched the rocks and stirred up huge waves.

Xiao Jingran had urgently called her over just to see her change into clothes and bathe?

In her previous life, her professional training made her think very quickly. She remained calm and collected, "There's no need to bathe. I've already bathed."

"If that's the case, then dress yourself and go to bed."

"I … "Right away."

Ruan Qiuyan looked around. There really wasn't any place to hide her figure. There was only that screen … She went straight over.

Ruan Qiuyan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the clothes had been prepared behind the screen.

She slowly took off the belt on her waist, and her clothes began to fade layer by layer like the shadow of a butterfly.

After she entered the screen, the man sitting on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. He only stared at the coquettish figure behind the screen. After her clothes faded, his eyes were as bright as a candle.

At that moment, it was as if there were only these two people in the world, and everything turned into nothingness.

Under her slender and elegant shoulders were slender jade arms, and her slim and graceful waist was as if she was holding onto the world.

In the next moment, Ruan Qiuyan put on her clothes and covered the spring sunshine.

He gently closed his eyes.

Ruan Qiuyan walked out calmly. When she saw that Xiao Jingran's eyes were still closed, she didn't know whether to say anything or go straight to bed.

She had barely taken five steps when the candle flame on the table threw her delicate figure onto the screen, her figure graceful.

Xiao Jingran opened her eyes once again and stepped aside. "Come on up."

As Ruan Qiuyan walked past him, she could smell a faint fragrance coming from her body.

He coughed softly.

Ruan Qiuyan asked, "Is the prince sick?"

"It's nothing, I just had a chills." He stared at her face, thinking of the scene behind the screen, and said, "This dressing gown suits you."

"Thank you for your consideration."

"Go to sleep."

Ann Ting had instructed them to prepare the bed covering the princess and no one dared to do so. There was only one blanket on the bed, and Ruan Qiuyan was still moaning in grief.

She carefully moved her body into the bed. Her thin figure was hidden under the bed, and she was slightly moving up and down.

The next moment, she felt a warm sensation coming from behind her. Before she could dodge, Xiao Jingran had already grabbed her waist and pulled her towards herself.

"Why are you so thin? Has anyone in the Palace treated you unfairly? "

His breath smelled like orchids, and her ears trembled.

"I never. Your highness brought me along with you. I'm just not fat, but your highness …"

Seemingly having long since guessed what she was going to say, he interrupted her. "Qiuyan, we're husband and wife, you have to get used to it."

"Qiuyan … Qiuyan …" Ruan Qiuyan's voice full of rejection was completely disarmed.

When Ruan Qiuyan woke up, Xiao Jingran was no longer by her side. What happened last night seemed like an illusion made by her alone.

She changed into a fresh set of clothes and was about to go to the writing room when she opened the door and saw an upside-down figure holding a sword. It was an extremely amiable and handsome face.

Ruan Qiuyan backed away, barely able to stabilize herself, and in the blink of an eye, the man who was hanging upside down flew into the yard.

What a handsome face.

"Whose house is this? Whose beautiful maiden is coming out of the prince's room?"

The man walked over to Ruan Qiuyan, who had a friendly, handsome face and a smile on it. Ruan Qiuyan felt a chill run down her spine, and stepped back, wondering where the beauty was coming from.

When Xiao Jingran woke up early in the morning, Ann Ting was waiting outside the room for a while before reporting that Yan Wugui had returned to the city with his army. At the same time, Xiao Jingran had something to discuss with Yan Wugui, so she went to the drill ground, but Yan Wugui was nowhere to be seen. Xiao Jingran only thought that Yan Wugui had gone somewhere else to play.

"Wugui, don't be rude to my wife." Xiao Jingran shouted in a low voice as she walked up to Ruan Qiuyan, putting her behind her without leaving a trace. Hearing Xiao Jingran call this person Wugui, Ruan Qiuyan's heart skipped a beat.
