"What have you been busy with lately? "None of them." Dongfang Qisu said.
"Ugh …" Something in the shop. " Rong Jiu's eyes looked a little evasive. Why does she think that Dongfang Qisu knows something?
"You haven't had dinner yet, right? Let's go together." Dongfang Qisu stood up.
"Actually, I …" Rong Jiu originally wanted to say that she had already eaten, but when she turned around, her brows twitched, "Eh?"
"Alright."
Rong Jiu carefully followed behind him.
"You are usually so free and unrestrained, why are you so restrained when facing This King?" Dongfang Qisu's voice came from the front.
Rong Jiu lowered her head and savored his words. After a long while, when she didn't reply, Dongfang Qisu finally stopped and turned around. Rong Jiu said, "You're too cold, and aren't used to it."
"Then before we got married, didn't you treat This King differently?"
"I... "Aaaah!"
Just as Rong Jiu was about to answer, she bumped into Dongfang Qisu's chest. She anxiously retreated, and accidentally stepped on the side, causing her to fall back, and Dongfang Qisu quickly pulled her into his embrace.
Sticking close to Dongfang Qisu's chest, his heart seemed to have skipped a beat.
"Actually, I don't know either." Rong Jiu said in a muffled voice, her face was hot.
Dongfang Qisu's hand was placed on her back, and the two of them maintained the same posture for a long time without retreating.
Dongfang Qisu was the first to react and retreated a few steps. He took off the cloak and draped it over Rong Jiu's body, "The sky is getting colder, wear more clothes."
Rong Jiu lowered her head, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking about, "Mmm."
"Let's go."
Just as they were about to arrive, Dongfang Qisu's words once again flowed into Rong Jiu's ears, "This king likes you to treat this king as if there was no reason to treat me like that in the past."
"Huh?"
Rong Jiu almost thought she heard wrongly, but when she raised her head, Dongfang Qisu had already sat down.
"Since it's an act, we might as well act it out in the future. The two of us are too different from each other."
Dongfang Qisu said again after a long while.
"Oh." Rong Jiu's ears were red.
Did this mean that he wanted her to be more intimate with him?
"The palace has been keeping a close eye on us these days, should we go to Rong Residence or be there later?"
Rong Jiu's breath tightened. Was she serious?
"Your Highness, this … That's not right, right? "
"Now that we are husband and wife, there are people keeping an eye on us in the mansion."
Dongfang Qisu's face did not flush from what he said, nor did his heart jump. Instead, he looked like he was about to turn completely red.
"A few days ago, the King of Japan discovered quite a few spies, and they were blocked by Shadowless and the others. However, it cannot continue like this. They must at least hear something."
"Since Your Highness knows about the spies, why didn't you take care of them?"
Rong Jiu had always thought that it was strange. Sometimes Dongfang Qisu was strong in front of the Emperor, and sometimes he was also his obedient son or subject.
"He is afraid of This King. This King has a clear conscience and can monitor at his will." Dongfang Qisu took a sip of her small wine, "Anyway, these past few years, I have long gotten used to it. Furthermore, he is this king's father, so what can this king do?"
"So you want him to think you're addicted to the female throne?" Rong Jiu asked.
Dongfang Qisu nodded, "There is a deal between us, and at that time, how many parties can possibly rope you in?
"Yeah, I'm quite good at acting." Rong Jiu suddenly felt that Dongfang Qisu was rather pitiful, "I will cover all of this for you." In this way, others will do less harm to you.
"You just need to cooperate with This King."
Dongfang Qisu's voice fell.
There seemed to be movement outside the eatery. Rong Jiu and Dongfang Qisu looked at each other and started drinking with Xiao Jiu.
Rong Jiu peeked her head out and realized that no one was watching, so she quickly spilled the alcohol on herself. The smell was strong, so she stood up drunkenly, and her body was swaying unsteadily.
Dongfang Qisu immediately supported her.
"Your Highness, I'm extremely dizzy. Why don't you send me to rest, okay?"
Rong Jiu's beautiful eyes turned red.
Dongfang Qisu held Rong Jiu horizontally in his arms, and Rong Jiu consciously hooked her arms around his neck.
"Hehe, Prince, you're so bad. You immediately picked me up."
Dongfang Qisu walked towards the Rong Residence with big strides while carrying Rong Jiu. Rong Jiu did not take her eyes off Dongfang Qisu, she wrapped her arms around his neck and couldn't help but raise her head and kiss him.
The soft touch brought with it a sweet aroma of wine. Both of them were stunned and their faces flushed. It was unknown whether the wine had played a role or if tonight's night was especially enchanting.
"I'm sorry, I just saw someone watching us." Rong Jiu whispered.
Dongfang Qisu held her head with one hand and deepened the kiss. The inseparable between the two was truly difficult to look at.
He carried Rong Jiu into the bedroom and closed the door. Both of them panted heavily, "Thank you for cooperating with this king."
"Of course."
Rong Jiu lowered his head and placed her on the bed.
The scouts following outside still did not leave. When the roof tiles sounded, Rong Jiu and Dongfang Qisu were extremely helpless.
Dongfang Qisu threw himself at the end of the bed, and under the cover of the bed, the two people's clothes were randomly thrown out. The bed creaked continuously, accompanied by Rong Jiu's soft cries and low voice. The people on the roof and the moonlight faded away at the same time.
Dongfang Qisu's forehead was covered with sweat. He was lying at the end of the bed while Rong Jiu was sitting at the head of the bed.
Dongfang Qisu, who had always been cold, could not help but laugh. "This is the first time I've ever done this."
"Who isn't?"
After Rong Jiu finished speaking, her face flushed red before lowering her head again.
The narrow space seemed to emit hot air, causing Dongfang Qisu's body to become extremely dry. The heat was also constantly running back and forth.
He hurriedly jumped off the bed. "Rest well, This King …"
Rong Jiu opened the bed curtain, "There should be more people outside, you … "Let's not go out yet."
The scene turned awkward. It seemed like the people sent by the palace weren't just a bunch of people. It seemed like there were a lot of people who were worried.
"Then …" Dongfang Qisu wanted to find a place to lie down, so he patted his body and said, "Lie down here, with the blanket covering you, you'll be fine."
Rong Jiu almost bit her tongue. Why did she say such a thing? Nothing will happen, as if she might do something.
"Alright." Dongfang Qisu picked up the clothes on the ground and placed them on the chair. Both he and Rong Jiu were wearing inner robes.
Rong Jiu placed the blanket in the middle of the bed and slept inside. Dongfang Qisu laid outside, and the two of them looked at the carved wooden beam above their heads, thinking about something.
This night, it was hard to sleep.
Next day
The servants had come to dress up the Princess, but no one answered the knock and pushed open the door. There was a messy mix of men and women's clothes on the chair, and a long arm peeking out from behind the curtain.
The maidservant s almost did not dare to breathe too loudly. The Consort of the Ming Prince Ming had never lived with the Duke since their marriage, how could there be a man?
He was curious, but he didn't dare to step forward.
Dongfang Qisu opened the curtain, and his ice-cold eyes swept towards the maidservant within the room. "Greetings, Your Highness!" A few of the maidservant s kneeled to the ground, their bodies trembling in fear.
Dongfang Qisu looked at the sleeping face in his arms, and his brows knitted deeper. "Didn't you see that the wangfei is sleeping?"
His Highness had always disliked the approach of the maidservant, and had even been thrown out to fight when the maidservant was close by him. Now that they did not know of his presence, they even came in.
