With this twist, no one dared to openly size up Little Jiajia anymore. This made Xiao Ruoshui heave a sigh of relief. “Jiajia, I won’t pine after Brother Chen anymore.” The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

Little Jiajia looked at her suspiciously.

Xiao Ruoshui was not a shy person. She said bluntly, “You chose me instead of Chang Le just now. I’ll also treat you as my best friend. We don’t steal things from each other. Don’t worry, I won’t snatch it from you again.”

Was she touched by her?

Little Jiajia grinned. “My husband is mine to begin with. It’s useless even if you want to snatch him away.”

Xiao Ruoshui’s eyebrow twitched.

“That Chang Le doesn’t really want to be on good terms with me,” Little Jiajia added.

“Why wouldn’t she be? She took the initiative to talk to you and even invited you to sit with her. Isn’t that just another show of goodwill?”

Little Jiajia blinked. “Have you ever heard of the saying that the enemy of an enemy is a friend?”

Xiao Ruoshui was stunned for a moment before reacting. “You mean that Chang Le doesn’t get along with Princess Linghui and wants to rope you in because she sees that you can suppress Linghui?”

What else could it be? Which noble lady sitting here did not have any arrogance? These people would never be convinced by a foreign princess like her. How could they sincerely befriend her? Even if they were friendly, they had some motive.

This was the first time Xiao Ruoshui had seen the complexity of people’s hearts. She reminded her softly, “Then you have to stay away from Chang Le in the future. Don’t be used by her. Although the Eldest Princess isn’t in Chang’an, I heard that His Majesty still respects his sister.”

Naturally, she was more concerned about the Eldest Princess’s only daughter than the other daughters of the royal family. Otherwise, how could a Fourth Rank Princess like her have the courage to fight Linghui?

Little Jiajia rolled her eyes. “Not to that extent. Besides, do I look like someone who can be used by anyone?”

“That’s true. You’re so smart, I didn’t even see her intentions.”

“The heir should have gone to the room at this time. Princess, please come this way.”

Mingde Court was even larger than Huilan Court. After passing through a courtyard and around a rockery, they finally saw a row of neatly arranged buildings.

The young eunuch stopped in front of the last room. Just as he raised his hand, the door of the room opened.

It was Song Jingchen who opened the door.

Little Jiajia’s eyes lit up. Just as she opened her mouth, she remembered that Song Jingchen didn’t want her to call him that, so she hurriedly corrected herself. “Brother Chen.”

Song Jingchen clearly didn’t expect her to come. He was stunned for a moment.

“Why are you here?”

The eunuch leading the way left first.

“I’m here to eat with you.” Little Jiajia craned her neck to look into the room. There was a bed and a desk. It was a simple arrangement. ‘Why don’t you have anything here?”

The room she was assigned to not only had a dressing table, a soft couch, and a small suite used as a study.

“It’s just an occasional break. That’s enough.” Song Jingchen didn’t let her look. He turned around and closed the door. “Let’s go.” “Where are you going?” Little Jiajia followed.

“You haven’t eaten yet, have you?”

“Ah, yes. Have you eaten?”

“Not yet.”

“Hehe, I knew it. I’ll come and have lunch with you every day in the future.”

“What did you learn in the morning? The teacher taught us about books and paintings today. It’s so boring. As soon as he opened his mouth, I felt sleepy. However, Sister Ruoshui is quite serious in her studies.”

Little Jiajia had a lot to say. Regardless of Song Jingchen’s response, she rambled on alone until she entered a greenhouse. A voice interrupted her. “Hey, Cousin, didn’t you say that you weren’t coming to eat with us today?”
