"Thank you, Prince, Miss Xie." Jing Yi thanked him very gratefully.

"Alright, there's nothing to thank. Let's go." After Ke Yuehua put down the curtain, he did not make a sound.

On the morning of the second day, Shi Jinchen returned to the Duke's Mansion with a rather heavy expression. The butler Uncle Chen asked him, "Your Highness, did something happen to you?

As a steward, he would have to solve his master's problem from time to time. He didn't know if the servant would be able to help, but if the servant was worried, he might be able to avoid getting into the master's minefield again.

Shi Jinchen looked at his butler Uncle Chen, and was somewhat unsure whether he should speak up or not with an expression.

This was because Shi Jinchen believed that he could easily settle any matter that he was concerned with by himself. He simply did not say that he had to seek the advice of others.

But now that this matter was related to the relationship between him and the Ke Yuehua, he was in a current predicament and didn't know what to do.

Uncle Chen saw through the knots in the Shi Jinchen, and said: "Prince, if you have any difficulties, tell this old servant, although this old servant might not be able to help you in any way, but this old servant might be able to give you some advice."

Shi Jinchen had been serving him for many years, so there was no need to hide anything from Uncle Chen. Moreover, this matter will be known by Uncle Chen tomorrow morning.

"The royal father general and the princess said that they have temporarily been placed in the Duke's Palace." If he simply could not refuse, then what should he do with his Ke Yuehua?

Although Shi Jinchen didn't say what exactly troubled him, Uncle Chen still guessed it.

"If he were to live with the princess in the prince's mansion, wouldn't that mean that he would be facing the king?" Your Highness, could it be that the Emperor granted us a marriage? "

"It's not exactly true. Today, royal father told me that it was only to be placed in my residence to nurture feelings. If it's really impossible, I will choose someone else."

Although that was what the emperor said, when the emperor decreed a decree, then even if they had no feelings, they would still have to give the decree …

Uncle Chen began to worry uncontrollably because nearly the entire household was already aware of the matters regarding Ke Yuehua and Shi Jinchen. They had almost confirmed that Ke Yuehua would be their wangfei in the future, only the two masters had not dared to take a step forward.

"Since it's the emperor's decision, this old servant can't comment any further." However, this may still be a bit inappropriate, after all, isn't the princess' admission of a sponsor already more or less telling others that the princess' husband is already tentatively appointed? "

The Uncle Chen was also troubled for a moment because the emperor had already decided on this matter. Even though there was no imperial edict, the emperor's word was pretty much the same as imperial edict, so disobeying it was no different than disobeying the imperial edict.

"I don't really care about the others, but I just don't know what the Xiao Sui will think." He didn't care about anything else related to Shi Jinchen. He didn't care about the matter of staying at the Duke's Mansion with his own princess or the emperor bestowing a marriage on him, so he could marry her. After all, this was the decree of His Majesty right now.

It was just that Shi Jinchen did not know how to explain this matter to Ke Yuehua, because as far as he knew, there was not a single woman that would agree to marry someone he liked. For example, the current Empress, even if she disagreed in any number of ways, was still one of the Three Palaces and Six Houses.

Ever since his mother died miserably, Shi Jinchen had already decided that in the future, he wouldn't take in so many wives like the current Emperor. He only thought that it might be funny to say this, but Shi Jinchen did indeed think this way.

Therefore, up till now, he was already over twenty years old, and the Shi Jinchen that should have belonged to his many wives and concubines was still intact, with no wives or concubines present.

For a while, the people even told him that he was a broken sleeve with the most common 'hidden ailments' in wealthy families. However, these words were only spoken behind his back; who would have the guts to openly chat about Shi Jinchen in the capital?

"You're back? "It's good that you're back. Let's have lunch earlier today and try to get out earlier." Just as he was talking about "Cao Cao", Cao Cao arrived.

Ke Yuehua and Jing Yi had just made some small dishes at the back kitchen, and also calculated the time it would take to return to the residence.

Because it was almost noon, Shi Jinchen had said yesterday that they would take him out to handle some matters. Therefore, Ke Yuehua wanted to eat lunch with Shi Jinchen sooner before leaving.

"Mm. Alright." Shi Jinchen had never expected to appear behind him at this time. When he first heard Ke Yuehua, he was honestly shocked. And because his back was still facing the Ke Yuehua, the Ke Yuehua also did not detect that there was anything wrong with the Shi Jinchen.

Because the butler Uncle Chen was standing face to face with the Shi Jinchen, the robust Shi Jinchen and broad body coincidentally blocked his line of sight, so he did not see the arrival of the Ke Yuehua either.

"Prince, Miss Xiao Sui will be eating first. This old servant will be going now." After staying for a while, the butler suddenly remembered what Shi Jinchen had told him just now, that the He Qin Princess was coming.

Although Uncle Chen also did not welcome the arrival of the He Princess, since the emperor had already instructed the She Princess to stay at the palace for the time being, there was no way she could be late. Since the He Princess was coming tomorrow, he had to go down and prepare, and let someone clean out an empty courtyard.

Choosing a suitable courtyard was also very necessary. Since it was going to be good, he had to think of a place with a far distance between a courtyard with Shi Jinchen s. This way, he could at least let this princess and Ke Yuehua s meet less.

"Mn, there's Jing Yi waiting on you here, go busy yourself first." Ke Yuehua still cared a lot about the butler Uncle Chen, because the butler Uncle Chen was already very old and it would not be easy for him to help Shi Jinchen manage the entire Fourth Prince Palace.

After the butler left, Ke Yuehua drank a few mouthfuls of his own black chicken soup, and stopped eating. Instead, he used the handkerchief that Jing Yi had given her to wipe his greasy mouth, and asked Shi Jinchen.

"You said yesterday that you had something to take me out on. As for the specifics, I'll just have to prepare myself." because he didn't know what Shi Jinchen would bring him to do.

If she knew what Shi Jinchen wanted to take her out for, she could also change into the appropriate clothes. If she had to fly away when the time came, it would be very inconvenient for her to wear the clothes she had on her body right now. Because she was both Liusu and the long skirt that dragged the floor, it was really troublesome. She still remembered that when she was working as a Shi Jinchen servant in the Duke Palaces, her maid clothes were extremely convenient, and there were no restrictions at all.
