Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

After eating and drinking her fill, Gui Yao became lazy and rested her head on Xiao Huaijin's shoulder.

Xiao Huaijin knew she was always busy, and gently stroked her hair with concern. "What are you going to do next? I'll go with you."

What do the girls of Nanyao learn at the academy?

Gui Yao inserted her fingers into his, their hands intertwining. "How do they make a living?"

"Whatever the boys learn, they also learn."

Xiao Huaijin turned his head to look at her, "Yaoyao, have you made any plans?"

"I allowed the public ethnic minority school in Ningguo to admit female students."

Gui Yao rubbed her head against his shoulder, finding a more comfortable position.

"Now that I've received this title of princess, I can't just express my gratitude verbally; I have to take some concrete actions."

Then I will donate two girls' schools so that girls from ordinary families can also go to school.

Literacy, arithmetic, needlework, cooking, medicine, and martial arts can all be learned.

How can you win the support of the people if you don't do practical things?

How can she allow her five-colored army to become officials and leaders, and receive the glory that they deserve, if she does not awaken the power of women?

Hsiao Huai-chin strongly supported her approach, but wondered, "Won't running only girls' schools draw criticism?"

There were many dissenting opinions in the Dasheng court regarding Yaoyao's being granted the title of princess, and they would inevitably try to find fault with her.

Gui Yao smiled knowingly, "Don't worry, there are people who won't let me surpass the Crown Prince's brilliance."

At least her birth mother, the Empress, was one of them.

At that time, they will naturally set up boys' schools to win people's hearts.

Xiao Huaijin understood what she meant, felt sorry for her, but didn't want to affect her mood.

Therefore, she brightened her tone and said with a smile, "I can provide teachers in literacy, arithmetic, needlework, medicine, and martial arts."

When she was in Nanyao, she had managed affairs at the girls' school, and many of the girls who came with her were outstanding.

Regarding culinary skills, there are differences between the North and South, and I can help find a master chef who is proficient in Da Sheng's flavors.

"That's exactly what we've been waiting for, Your Highness."

Women in the Dasheng era were suppressed by men for many years. When girls' schools were first opened, it was not necessarily the case that any women would be willing to come out and become teachers.

Xiao Huaijin had done her a great favor. She looked up at him and sincerely praised him, "Your Highness is so kind."

"Because it's you."

Xiao Huaijin's dimples deepened, and his eyes shone brightly. "I'm only good to you."

Gui Yao's heart stirred slightly. She lifted the man's chin with her fingers and spoke softly.

"I have nothing to repay you with but my body. Now that the imperial decree is in hand, Yaoyao, can I sleep with the Prince?"

He sighed inwardly, "As expected, when people are well-fed and warm, they think of lustful desires."

"Can."

Xiao Huaijin smiled and said, "But it's a promise, I'll hug you."

"OK."

Gui Yao chuckled softly, her voice sweet and charming, her eyes revealing a captivating allure that she only showed in front of Xiao Huaijin. "As Your Highness wishes."

The two men guarding the door heard a noise coming from the window, exchanged a glance, and pushed the door open a crack.

The two people who were eating just now have disappeared without a trace.

"Where did you go?"

He held the sword, looking completely bewildered.

Why didn't the master take them with him when he left?

After thinking for a moment, Shandeng said, "You go to Xuanji Tower, I'll go back to the manor to take a look."

Xiao Huaijin carried Gui Yao back to the palace and went straight to the washroom. "You wash first, I'll go get you some clothes."

Gui Yao hooked her arm around his belt, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Together."

I've already seen what I should and shouldn't have seen. Bathing together saves time and allows me to admire handsome men.

Seeing the prince's face flushed slightly, Gui Yao became even more determined.

She leaned closer to him and planted a kiss on his lips.

Even though Ren Xiao Huaijin was usually composed, he was now breathing heavily. He stretched out his long arm, wrapped it around her waist, and pressed her completely against his chest, leaving no gap between them.

Gui Yao looked up, her dark eyes shining brightly, and her red lips slightly upturned.

"Yaoyao".

Xiao Huaijin called out softly, then covered her red lips with his. Gui Yao wrapped her arms around his neck, her red lips slightly parted, a response that made his heart tremble with a ticklish sensation.

He kissed her with exceptional tenderness, yet it wasn't enough; a growing desire stirred within him.

Gui Yao and he were of one mind. With her passion and tenderness, she kissed him, melting all his gentleness into their breaths.

It was domineering, yet it soothed Xiao Huaijin's restless heart caused by lust, filling him with joy. He embraced her and plunged into the bath, where they sank into oblivion together.

Hearing the commotion inside the house, Zhangdeng quickly waved and led everyone away, leaving himself to guard the courtyard with a faint smile on his lips.

Initially, it wasn't her who was by the prince's side.

The man had delusions, but the prince noticed and dismissed him.

But with the prince's ethereal beauty and gentlemanly demeanor, several women remained unmoved.

But she was clear about her position, and even more aware that beneath the prince's gentle nature lay his own principles.

What the prince wanted was a wife who could stir his emotions, not someone to marry simply for the sake of marriage.

Having served the prince for many years without ever causing him any unease, she knew she was not the one for him.

But I'm also curious: what kind of woman is worthy of such a good prince?

When she first met Gui Yao, she suspected that she was not human, but the prince trusted her. She then knew that Gui Yao was different in the prince's heart.

But Gui Yao's identity and background always made her a little worried. Fortunately, she was fine and a good match for the prince.

And she was excellent as their loyal servant.

"Why are you standing here?"

He went to Xuanji Tower with his sword but found nothing. Mao Dan said the person hadn't returned, so he went back to the manor to check.

He lit a lamp and glanced into the room, then smiled without saying a word.

The swordsman suddenly realized, "The prince has brought the princess home?"

He craned his neck to peer into the courtyard. "Light the lamp, tell me, when will our little master have time to play?"

The lantern-wielder rolled his eyes at him, "Be careful the Crown Princess and the two princesses don't beat you up."

Is the little master for him to play with?

Thinking of those who had defended the prince, Zhijian shrank back and said, "I was just looking forward to it."

After thinking about it seriously, he said, "I guess we'll have to wait a bit."

Although Gui Yao didn't say it explicitly, she didn't deliberately hide many things, and she vaguely guessed her identity.

And then there was the incident of mushroom poisoning that night; it seems that Gui Yao hasn't had time to have children in the past two years.

It's highly unlikely that the prince would get Gui Yao pregnant before the wedding.

Thinking of this, she instructed the swordsman, "You stay here and guard this place. I'm going to find the imperial physician."

Prepare contraceptive soup in advance.

Inside the room, Xiao Huaijin wrapped Gui Yao in a bath towel and carried her to the bed.

Gui Yao looked at him with teary eyes, her gaze filled with a seductive allure.

Xiao Huaijin kissed her forehead, his eyes still red, "Yaoyao, I'm so happy."

This time, she wasn't sleeping with him with ulterior motives; she simply wanted to be intimate with him.

Little did he know that at this moment, his black hair was disheveled, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate and beautiful, and his lips, which had been kissed forcefully by Gui Yao, were red and full as if painted with rouge.

Gui Yao couldn't help but grab his collar, pulling them closer, and pressed her lips to his, saying, "Then let's be even happier."

As the kiss deepened, Gui Yao rolled over and pinned the prince beneath her. The moment the bath towel hit the ground, the man murmured, "Yao Yao, this time I'm on top."

"Okay, as you wish."

After a long while, Xiao Huaijin carried Gui Yao back to the washroom. When they came back after washing, Gui Yao's eyelids were drooping.

Xiao Huaijin took a white undergarment from the wardrobe and helped her put it on.

The size is just right.

After she spent the night at the Prince's mansion last time, he prepared her clothes in his bedroom.

After tidying up Guiyao, he lay down beside her, opened her palm, and intertwined his fingers with hers.

After sleeping for about an hour, Gui Yao opened her eyes and sat up.

"Where to?"

Xiao Huaijin also got up.

Gui Yao kissed him. "Let's go to the Tong family's house."

"I'm with you."

She pressed down on Xiao Huaijin's hand that was holding the clothes. "I only want to indulge in the prince's beauty."

Even after a long time, the afterglow of passion still lingered on his face, and Gui Yao didn't want others to see him like this.

She pressed him back onto the bed. "I'll be back later."

Xiao Huaijin's heart felt like it was about to burst out of his chest; the lingering warmth of passion still permeated his entire body. He was very obedient, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After Gui Yao finished dressing, she saw Xiao Huaijin gazing at her with affection in his eyes.

She suddenly felt guilty for being a heartless man.

"I should have known better than to make plans with A-Ye's mother tonight."

But breaking his promise to the departed spirit was truly unfair to ghosts, so Gui Yao could only leave a kiss on the beauty's face before resolutely leaving.

Aye's mother was waiting for her in the courtyard. The two met up and headed straight for the Tong family.

Marquis Cheng'an was also in Lady Hou's room.

"Young Master Zhang hasn't taken up his post yet, so there's not much he can do to help Second Brother."

Marquis Cheng'an pondered for a moment and said, "Have the second son go directly to Master Zhang."

"Why Master Zhang?"

Lady Hou was puzzled.

The Duke of Zhenguo had two sons. He was grooming his elder son to be his successor, and naturally, his power was greater than that of his younger brother, Zhang Erye. If they wanted to curry favor, shouldn't they have aimed for a higher position?

"I have my own considerations."

Marquis Cheng'an gave his wife a deep look. "If you want the Marquis's manor to recover, just do as I say."

He has been estranged from his second son over the years, which has led to the second son listening more to the Lady Hou. That's why he came over tonight specifically to give him some instructions.

Lady Hou was also eager for the prosperity of the Hou family, so she readily agreed. Seeing that it was getting late, she tugged at the sleeve of Marquis Cheng'an.

"Will Your Excellency stay with me tonight?"

Marquis Cheng'an hadn't touched her for many years. The only good thing about the destruction of the Marquis's mansion this time was that she used the excuse that there wasn't enough room in her dowry house to send away all her concubines and mistresses.

Now, the Marquis only has her by his side.

But Marquis Cheng'an stood up and said, "I still have some official business to attend to. You should go to sleep first."

When he turned his back, a look of disgust appeared on his face, which Gui Yao could clearly see from the shadows.

A hint of doubt arose in my heart...
