Sometimes, Prince Zhan really wanted to pry open Nangong Waner's head and see what was inside. Because at this time, Nangong Waner had gotten a stick from who knows where and was trying to dig at the Cat's Eye Stone on the edge of the table.

"What is Wan Er doing?" Prince Zhan asked patiently.

"Oh, I just want to try and see if I can get some of them and bring them back to my residence." Nangong Waner said without thinking.

"Does Wan Er know that this king is still here …"

"Oh, of course I know. I definitely won't take it away in front of you!"

"This king …"

The Prince Zhan signaled the servants behind him to prepare the food. Not long later, a maid brought an exquisite bowl up, with a slice of lemon stuck in the side of the bowl, she stood beside Nangong Waner.

Prince Zhan called out to her as he looked at the cat's eye stone that was still socketed on the table with a stick. "Wan Er, if you are willing to study hard in the Duke Mansion, when you return to the Zhongshu Officer Mansion, I will personally pick two for you."

Nangong Waner was overjoyed, "Really?" He grinned towards the Prince Zhan with a flattering smile.

The Prince Zhan laughed and tacitly agreed, "Eat your food." She then pulled Nangong Waner's tender hands and placed them into the lemonade carried by the servant, and washed her hands familiarly.

Following which, maidservants brought exquisite dishes to the table one by one. Maybe it was because Nangong Waner was too hungry, or maybe the food in the Duke Palaces was too exquisite that she couldn't keep her mouth down. She looked at Prince Zhan and didn't want to use her chopsticks. At this time, the servant girl behind Nangong Waner stepped forward, and prepared to serve as food for the young miss.

Prince Zhan waved his hands, took the chopsticks and personally prepared food for Nangong Waner, coaxing him into eating. Even though Prince Zhan's Mansion's rules were extremely strict, the surrounding maids were so shocked that they almost forgot their duty of serving the young miss. The servant girl that served Nangong Waner previously, Liu Hong was truly worthy of being a servant girl. She looked coldly at the servants who were so shocked that they lost their sense of propriety, and after receiving Liu Hong's warning, everyone quickly recovered.

However, Nangong Waner did not see any of these small movements. Prince Zhan's persistent advice to her to feed the food gave her a headache.

Before he finished eating, the Prince Zhan's personal guard, Zi Ye, came over to report. The Emperor had sent someone to invite him in and said that they had something to discuss, and had waited for a long time.

Seeing that Nangong Waner did not eat much, Prince Zhan replied lightly, "Then let's wait a little longer." As he spoke, he continued to coax Nangong Waner to eat.

The surrounding maids gasped again. Zi Ye inadvertently glanced at them and silently cursed in his heart with disdain, "Look at how inexperienced he is. He finally knows a lot about princes and princes." After listening to the order, Zi Ye naturally took a step back and stood to the side, waiting.

Nangong Waner was getting anxious. Firstly, he really didn't want to eat anymore, and secondly, the Prince Zhan actually made the people in the palace wait for him. Worried that the people from the palace would vent their anger on the Prince Zhan, if the Prince Zhan was punished again, he would be in big trouble.

It was just that she was thinking too much, how could the Prince Zhan be punished?

Nangong Waner rubbed his stomach and said anxiously to Prince Zhan, "I'm full, hurry and go." He wanted to send Prince Zhan off after he finished speaking, but before he could do so, he added, "I'll be waiting for you at home." With that, she turned to the Prince Zhan and smiled.

I'll be home waiting for you... The deepest part of Chu Xiuhan's heart moved, as if... Some of them didn't want to put the little girl down … He sent it back.

"Then stay in the Prince Zhan's Mansion." Prince Zhan couldn't help but think this in his heart.

Zi Ye naturally didn't know anything about love and love between a man and a woman. When he had no one else to ask, he asked the steward of the manor. He asked the butler, why did the Prince not publicly express his love for the Miss Nangong?

The butler indeed didn't disappoint Zi Ye's expectations. After he said those words, the prince was waiting for the Miss Nangong to fall in love with him.

Zi Ye listened with mixed feelings. With his position and bearing, who wouldn't love him?

The butler went on with his words, for love makes one more careful, and only gives until one sees the other's heart, humble in the dust.

Zi Ye felt that the steward was being unreasonable. His highness was above all others, and was above all others. How could he be humble to the point of being in the dust?

The housekeeper looked at Zi Ye and smiled, then left after saying that one sentence. Because the prince loved the Miss Nangong, so after saying that, he left with a smile.

Zi Ye really felt that the steward was unreasonable. What did he say? He kept going back and forth, but he didn't understand a single word.

Now, Zi Ye finally understood that the prince really loved Nangong Waner, maybe even more than the prince himself thought.

As for whether the Miss Nangong loved his own prince, Zi Ye couldn't figure it out, and was thinking about helping his master.

On the other hand, Prince Zhan stood up, planning to follow Zi Ye into the palace. He also asked Liu Hong to wait upon the young miss, and if I return late at night, he would wait for the young miss to eat early. If there was anything else, he could find a butler to ask me.

The corner of Liu Hong's eyes twitched. Is there a matter to look for the Prince in the palace?

On the other hand, Nangong Waner happily went to see the Prince Zhan out of the Duke Palace.

Seeing that, Prince Zhan was not unhappy, he could only unknowingly follow Nangong Waner and rejoice.

Zi Ye saw all this and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "My master is so stupid, but I don't know if he can still kill the enemy."

Seeing that Chu Xiuhan was in a good mood, Nangong Waner hurriedly took the opportunity to please him, "My prince, can I take a stroll outside?"

The Duke naturally looked at the smiling Nangong Waner who had no way of resisting, "Pay attention to your safety, let Liu Hong follow you."

Nangong Waner, "Duke, do you still remember the fifteen liang that you owed me? I need money on the street. " After saying that, he hurriedly tucked the jade pendant on his waist.

Chu Xiuhan pretended not to see Nangong Waner's actions at all, and his expression was a little exaggerated as he came to a sudden realization. "I remember now, you still bet a piece of this king's jade with you."

Nangong Waner's expression became even more exaggerated, his doggy legs became even more thorough, "Aiya, my prince, I actually forgot to bring you along with me. I'll find someone to send you back when we get back!"

Prince Zhan laughed in his heart, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to return to the manor. However, he had a hesitant expression on his face. "Then your fifteen taels …"

Nangong Wan'er had used a pampering technique that she had never used in over twenty years. She tugged at his sleeve like a sieve, "Prince, I'm just a proper young lady from the Shangguan family, how can I cheat you with a broken jade pendant? Give me fifteen silver taels first and I'll walk on the street …" "Then she shook his sleeve like a sieve.

Zi Ye felt that he was about to vomit, but he heard his master say in a pleasant tone, "Okay, you can go to the steward at the mansion to get it."

Midnight rang with the words of the steward of the palace, low to the dust … Low to Dust...
