Ever since Lord Assistant Minister was promoted to an official, he had been very busy, not only did the imperial government become more busy, there were also many people who came over secretly to ask for permission to move, and inside and out of Assistant Minister’s Residence, he and Madam Yang were busy throughout the day.

Suddenly, one day, Lord Assistant Minister felt as if he hadn't seen Nangong Waner for a few days, and asked the Shangguan Family Uncle Wang, "What has Young Miss been busy with recently?"

Shangguan Family's Uncle Wang looked at Lord Assistant Minister with a strange expression, "The First Miss is recuperating in Prince Zhan's Mansion, two days ago she sent a message to me, she must be very sick already."

Lord Assistant Minister suddenly woke up from his stupor and slapped his forehead. "Aiya, how could I forget about this matter?" After he finished speaking, he led the butler to Prince Zhan's Mansion to receive him, but unexpectedly, the door of the palace was tightly shut. The Lord Assistant Minister shouted at the door for a long time, but no one came out to open it.

Another two days passed, and Lord Assistant Minister was still feeling unsettled, as if something was missing. Lord Assistant Minister asked Madam Yang to help her think, since had suddenly gained power, he always needed to walk amongst the female servants of the officials in the imperial court, and was already exhausted to the point where she couldn't take care of herself. She dealt with Lord Assistant Minister and said, "Rest early, there are a lot of things." With that, Madam Yang fell asleep.

Lord Assistant Minister was tossing and turning on the bed, sleeping restlessly. In the middle of the night, Lord Assistant Minister suddenly woke up, "I finally remembered, Wan Er is still living in Prince Zhan's Mansion!" Madam Yang was so tired that he did not even wake up.

Nangong Waner lived a carefree life in the Prince Zhan's Mansion, but she was worried that she would miss the time to collect the silver. The Assistant Minister couple took all her silver this month, and furthermore, she did not have a single cent left, so she anxiously returned to the Assistant Minister’s Residence to collect the silver.

However, after waiting for a few days, she still did not see the Assistant Minister’s Residence sending anyone to pick her up. She was gradually getting used to the days of the Prince Zhan's Mansion, as she had originally lived in this world much more than the Assistant Minister’s Residence.

Suddenly, one morning, Nangong Waner, who was still sleeping, was gently woken up by Ju Xiang. "Miss, Lord Assistant Minister and Madam came to the Duke's Mansion to pick you up. No matter how hard Ju Xiang tried to call them, Nangong Waner still managed to roll his body and continued to sleep. When Ju Xiang got anxious, Lord Assistant Minister and his wife waited in the lobby for a long time.

On the side of the front hall, Prince Zhan was drinking tea leisurely, trying to get on to Lord Assistant Minister. Lord Assistant Minister was sweating nervously, asking about official business, Lord Assistant Minister immediately started to discuss some private matters, and mentioned that Nangong Waner was recuperating very well, but he did not expect that Lord Assistant Minister's face would be even more unsightly. Prince Zhan had no choice, and could only take care of himself and drink tea.

Lord Assistant Minister had brought Madam Yang to the Prince Zhan's Mansion early in the morning to pick him up, but because he had left his own daughter at the Duke Palace for a few days, he felt very bad about it. He thought about whether or not he should give the Prince Zhan something, but Prince Zhan's Mansion had a huge background and did not know what was appropriate to give.

On the other hand, the Prince Zhan was easygoing, he talked to the Lord Assistant Minister casually and asked about some matters regarding positions. Now that Prince Zhan was holding the title of Minister, he naturally had to report his work respectfully. Prince Zhan talked about Wan Er's condition and couldn't help but perspire from his forehead. He wondered if Prince Zhan was going to use words to pinch him while he left his daughter in Prince Zhan's Mansion for a few days without hearing anything …

Not long later, Ju Xiang walked over with an embarrassed expression. "Master, Madam, Miss has been sleeping soundly, you can't wake me up."

The Lord Assistant Minister was already a little embarrassed towards the Prince Zhan, but hearing Ju Xiang's words, he immediately became angry and followed Ju Xiang to his courtyard. The Lord Assistant Minister said angrily, "You go in and drag it out for Wan Er."

Madam Yang looked to be in a dilemma, "After all, this child is older, so I still have to be more courteous."

Seeing that Prince Zhan had also entered the courtyard, he thought that he was waiting for Nangong Waner to return and clean up the courtyard. When Lord Assistant Minister became anxious, he immediately woke Nangong Waner up.

With that shouted, Nangong Waner instantly crawled up from the bed and rushed out to the courtyard without even putting on any clothes. He glared at Lord Assistant Minister and then at Madam Yang, "Oh my god, I dreamt of my father and mother," as he said that, he touched Lord Assistant Minister's face and then stroked it, "Oh my god, why is Chu Xiuhan with my father and mother?", and then touched Prince Zhan's face. Is this business or a private matter? " Nangong Waner looked up with wide eyes and asked Prince Zhan in confusion. Prince Zhan gently tied a strand of his messy hair around Nangong Waner's neck and smiled gently with a gentle tone, "Idiot, this is not a dream, your father and mother …"

"I think you're getting more and more delirious. What are you daydreaming about in broad daylight!" The Lord Assistant Minister didn't wait for the Prince Zhan to finish speaking and grabbed Nangong Waner unceremoniously. Seeing that Nangong Waner was about to wake her up, she saw that the Prince Zhan was looking at her with a cold face, and thought to herself, "This is the Prince Zhan's Mansion after all, I still need to say things properly."

Lord Assistant Minister immediately stopped and turned into her father. She straightened Nangong Waner's clothes and said to him in a very friendly manner, "Wan Er, you must have worked hard these few days. Father and Mother came to take you home."

Nangong Waner awoke from his stupor the moment he was dragged by the Lord Assistant Minister. Seeing how the Lord Assistant Minister was concerned about him like a leader taking care of a soldier, he couldn't help but twitch his eyes. He rolled his eyes and led Ju Xiang back to his room to pack his bags.

Assistant Minister and his wife then went to the hall to wait, as usual everyone was drinking their tea, without saying a word, not long after, Nangong Waner finished packing and led Ju Xiang who was carrying a bag to the hall.

Just as Nangong Waner arrived at the front hall, the butler of the Queen's Mansion followed him in. Perhaps the butler of the Prince's Mansion had something to report to the Prince, so the Prince indicated for him to say.

The butler respectfully reported, "Your Highness, the Elder Xiu has sent a letter saying that he will be staying in the Prince's Mansion for a period of time the next day. He also took in the Miss Nangong that you had requested from him last time as a student and intends to personally teach him a bit."

The butler's voice was clear and melodious. Nangong Waner heard it like thunder and quickly turned to look at Lord Assistant Minister. As expected, Lord Assistant Minister was completely overjoyed.

Nangong Waner considered whether or not he should come in order to dress up, but before he could say anything, Prince Zhan said in a rather intimate tone, "Oh, during the banquet at Master Liu's mansion a while ago, I said that I would invite to be my instructor in public, but this matter indeed needs to depend on your own wishes."

Hearing that, Nangong Waner immediately pulled on Lord Assistant Minister's sleeves and whispered, "Father, quickly reject, my health is not good."

Lord Assistant Minister thought for a while, then looked at Prince Zhan and slowly said, "But … has already brought a lot of trouble to the Prince Zhan Lord. "

Nangong Waner happily answered, "Yes, there's no need."

Prince Zhan acted as if he did not hear Nangong Waner's words, he looked at Lord Assistant Minister and said, "Since Lord Assistant Minister is being highly valued in my Department, there is no need to be too courteous with this king. I will help Lord Assistant Minister settle the problems of living, Lord Assistant Minister only needs to work even harder to build my Department."

Although Prince Zhan said it clearly and indifferently, and the Lord Assistant Minister heard everything with surging passion, he still held onto Prince Zhan's watch loyally. However, Prince Zhan's expression was indifferent as he took his hand away, "Thank you, Prince Zhan, for your appreciation, this humble subject will definitely do his best for the Department, I will entrust my daughter to Your Highness!"

Madam Yang pulled at Lord Assistant Minister and whispered, "What are you saying? Why do you seem to want to thank your highness so much that you made me marry you?"

Lord Assistant Minister realized that there was something wrong with his words after hearing Madam Yang's words. She wanted to correct her thoughts, but was stopped by Prince Zhan, "This king naturally believes in Lord Assistant Minister's words."

Nangong Waner stared at Prince Zhan, feeling that something was amiss. Prince Zhan also looked at Nangong Waner with a smile.
