Although Sledgehammer's words didn't sound right, he still hit the point.

If Jingyu had such extraordinary abilities, he would not be obsessed with escaping from here.

Jing Yu then said: "Master, how are you doing with your research on the substitute I told you about?"

"Master, there is no need to rush this matter. You have to take your time. If anyone lets the princess know, you will not be able to leave at all."

"Then study slowly! Remember, the other conditions can be reduced, but you must be someone who can take care of her and protect her!"

"understand!"

After having enough wine, Jing Yu was ready to go back. He went back a little late today and was afraid that his sister-in-law would be angry, so he ordered a few more signature dishes before leaving. He thought that his sister-in-law would not refuse these delicious dishes.

After returning to the house, the house was quiet, and he made a "shh" gesture with every servant passing by, preparing to return to the house without anyone noticing.

But when he came to the door of the inner room, he saw Xingtao waiting outside the door. Afraid that Xingtao would scold him too loudly, he quickly made a sign of resignation and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xingtao,

What is the princess doing now?"

"Still taking a bath."

Sure enough, even begging her couldn't suppress her loud voice. The next moment, Xu Ruyi's voice came from the room: "Is the young man back?"

Xingtao didn't help Jing Yu at all, and replied bluntly: "It's the consort who is back."

"Let him in."

Xu Ruyi was soaking in the wooden bucket at the moment, playing with the petals floating on the water with her slender hands. Jing Yu reluctantly pushed open the door to the inner room, muttering in a low voice: "Don't look at anything inappropriate.

Don’t look at anything inappropriate…”

Xu Ruyi smiled and said: "Husband and wife don't have to be so formal."

Jing Yu thought to himself: Bah! What kind of couple do they think they are?!

So Jing Yu stood at the door and refused to go any further.

Xu Ruyi leaned against the barrel and said to him, "You do have some conscience. I thought you wouldn't come back."

Her words made Jing Yu feel guilty. Jing Yu did not respond and allowed her to continue asking: "Have you gone away from your anger after going out?"

Jing Yu saw that she was worried about whether he was angry, so he made a fuss and said with a "humph": "No!"

"Chaoming, bring the sweets."

Seeing that she was really trying to fool him, Jing Yu's voice became even louder: "This can't be solved with just one sweet!"

"So I bought two copies."

Jing Yu finally discovered that he couldn't communicate with this aunt at all!

Chaoming quickly presented the sweets to Jing Yu and said to Xu Ruyi: "Princess, I have brought snacks back too!"

Hearing this, Xu Ruyi said with a smile: "I know that the young man is considerate. Chao Ming, go get your pajamas, I won't wash them."

Chao Ming responded and presented Xu Ruyi's pajamas. Xu Ruyi put on her pajamas, wiped her body and then came to the table. The belt around her waist was very loose, and her snow-white skin was half-covered.

Jing Yu was caught off guard by this scene and suddenly felt his whole body heating up.

He quickly turned his head away from looking at her.

Xu Ruyi didn't care about these red tapes. She sat at the table and took a bite of the snacks that Jing Yu brought back, and praised: "I knew the snacks that Xiao Langjun brought for me must be delicious!"

Jing Yu was already ready to move towards the bed, but just as he was about to move away, Xu Ruyi grabbed his arm and said, "Sit down and eat together! It's boring to argue, why not eat happily together?"

Night snack!"

Jing Yu: "..."

In an instant, the quarrel disappeared completely, and even if Jing Yu wanted to be angry, he couldn't.

He had never seen a girl like Xu Ruyi. No matter what he did, she never got angry with him and was as enthusiastic to him as ever.

Is it possible...

Does she really like him?!

Jing Yu always felt that this feeling was quite awkward, but maybe because of this, he wanted to save her life.

He mustered up his courage again and said seriously to Xu Ruyi: "Princess, can you please stop provoking Lin Chengqing?"

Xu Ruyi smiled secretly in her heart: This little guy is still worried about her!

Xu Ruyi replied: "Don't worry, I don't have any feelings for him at all."

In her previous life, if she had not married an important minister who was a member of the Queen Mother's party, she would have fallen into the hands of the officials. In the past two years, the border area was not very peaceful. If the officials wanted to get married, she would be the first to be sent away.

As for feelings...

Maybe Coal was right, but she didn't know what love was.

She didn't bother to think about it, she only knew that the snacks in front of her tasted very sweet, and that was enough.

"Young Master, it is a courtesy between the king and his ministers that I go to visit Lin Chengqing. This is what I must do. Other than that, I have no other thoughts about Lin Chengqing."

Jing Yu insisted: "Then can I go with you?"

Xu Ruyi refused and said: "We are not here to mess around. You just stay at home and wait for me."

Speaking of the relationship between monarch and minister, in this princess palace, Xu Ruyi is the monarch and Jing Yu is the minister. There is no equal relationship in the first place. Jing Yu has no choice but to follow Xu Ruyi's wishes.

That night, Jing Yu suffered from insomnia again.

Mainly because Xu Ruyi had a fresh fragrance on her body after bathing. When she was sleeping with her arms around him, this fragrance always reminded him that there was a woman attached to him.

How could he sleep like this?!

By the time Jing Yu couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep, it was almost dawn.

As soon as he fell asleep, Xu Ruyi woke up. Seeing that Jing Yu was still sleeping, she couldn't bear to disturb him.

Xu Ruyi then let go of Jing Yu, quietly got up to dress up alone, and after eating breakfast, she took Xingtao and Chaoming to visit Lin Chengqing.

It is said that Empress Dowager Jiang believed that Lin Chengqing was infected with evil spirits. Especially in Xiangzhou, there were many such remarks. Not only Empress Dowager Jiang, but also Lin Chengqing himself held the attitude of "I would rather believe it than believe it".

Many experts were invited to do the work. But Xu Yinghong didn't believe it, so the matter had to be investigated again.

Empress Dowager Jiang told Xu Ruyi the day before that she was coming to visit Lin Chengqing.

Lin Chengqing was secretly happy, thinking that Empress Dowager Jiang trusted him very much and even wanted to win over the entire Prime Minister's Office through him. Empress Dowager Jiang promised to give him an explanation for Xu Ruyi's failure to choose him as her son-in-law.

No, after only three days, she sent Xu Ruyi to visit her.

After learning that Xu Ruyi was coming today, Lin Chengqing climbed out of bed on crutches early in the morning, changed into refreshing clothes, and sat in the room waiting for the servant's announcement.

Xu Ruyi rode a carriage to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lin Chengqing was originally from the Lin family's second house. A few years ago, the Lin family's second house fell into decline. The whole family came to Beijing to seek refuge with the then Prime Minister Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang couldn't lose face, so he asked the entire second house to move in. Only then did Lin Chengqing find his wife.

As a shortcut, while devoting himself to the scientific examination and winning three yuan in a row, he also took advantage of Prime Minister Lin's momentum to become an editor in the palace.

Not to mention that Empress Dowager Jiang wanted to win over him and gradually win over the Prime Minister. Even Xu Ruyi thought that he was a reliable tree at the beginning.

But it doesn't mean that all this is a trap set up by the officials.

Xu Ruyi could not tolerate sand in her eyes.
