She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

Jiang Ruining seemed to have never considered such a question before, and looked somewhat troubled: "The Princess Consort and the Prince and his wife are one entity, so she should love the Princess Consort and take over this job, continuing to do everything for me, right?"

This answer was unexpected by Shi'an, who glanced at his master with pity.

Xiao Che stepped off the horse stool first, too angry to talk to her: "You wish!"

"What do you mean by that? Now that we're married, you're going to ignore me?" Jiang Ruining hurriedly chased after him as he turned around to say those words, but she missed a step and was about to fall to the ground.

Xiao Che quickly went up to her, grabbed her waist, and steadily lifted her off the stool: "How old are you? Still so unsteady!"

A smile flickered in Jiang Ruining's lowered eyes.

Take a look!

They said they didn't care, but they still reached out so quickly!

"It's not like I'm being irresponsible for the first time!"

After she steadied herself by grabbing his arm, she seemed to realize she needed to avoid suspicion, so she quickly pulled her hand back, put it behind her back, and looked around suspiciously, as if afraid of being seen by outsiders.

Xiao Che took a deep breath, his brow throbbing.

What a heartless bastard!

"Who are you afraid of seeing this!"

Jiang Ruining's face turned serious: "It wouldn't be good for anyone to see! Although everyone knows we're good friends, we have to maintain a proper distance in front of outsiders, otherwise I'll be laughed at, and my dad will be talked about behind his back!"

"Even though I'm a bit thick-skinned, I still have a sense of shame!"

He sighed again.

"Forget it, you won't care about me anymore after you get married anyway, so I might as well stop asking about my affairs now and get used to handling everything myself so I won't feel uncomfortable later."

Done.

Without waiting for Xiao Che's reaction, she turned around gracefully and walked towards the tall grass on the right side of the camp.

Anyway, the tents are still being packed up, so I won't be able to rest there. I might as well go out for a walk.

He raised his hand and waved it, his tone light and cheerful.

"I'm going to wander around; you go about your business!"

Xiao Che's mind raced, and a thought flashed through his mind. He took a step and chased after them.

Shi'an and Shiyihe exchanged a glance.

Shi An laughed: "Miss, you're truly a master at piercing the prince's heart."

Shiyihe stared intently, recalling the plays he had seen, and silently thought: Is the girl pretending to be stupid in an attempt to provoke the prince into speaking first?

Ah!

She really is a girl!

clever!

The meticulously maintained grassland remains lush and green even in autumn, stretching as far as the eye can see. Its slopes rise and fall in endless waves, resembling spring waves. Walking among them feels like wandering in a sea of ​​green, filling one's heart with a sense of vastness.

The grass underfoot was soft and fluffy, like walking on clouds, making you feel light and airy.

The sun was shining brightly in the early autumn, warming my skin. In this sparsely populated area, the air quality was excellent. The autumn breeze carried the fragrance of flowers and the freshness of grass, which felt wonderful to breathe in.

The wind swept away some of the warmth, adding a slight chill, making one want to move around.

Jiang Ruining heard someone following behind her and turned around to look.

Seeing it was him was strange; I felt neither disappointed nor sad: "Why are you following me?"

Xiao Che's initial thought vanished instantly. He gritted his teeth, wanting to give this heartless brat a good spanking: "I never said I wouldn't take care of you."

Jiang Ruining raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

Xiao Che caught the sly smile lines on her lips and wanted to pinch her brow again.

This cunning little ingrate was right; she knew he wouldn't abandon her, so she didn't take his probing words to heart at all.

"Since you've said it, you'll naturally do it."

Jiang Ruining's follow-up question was sharp: "What if your princess dislikes me, forbids you from interfering with me, or targets me?"

Xiao Che: "No."

Jiang Ruining: "Perfunctory."

Xiao Che stepped closer, meeting her gaze at eye level: "The Regent's Palace can exist without a princess."

Jiang Ruining shook his head: "Your Highness Regent, I will not take the blame for this."

Xiao Che: "..."

Jiang Ruining glanced at him with a knowing look, as if she could see right through him: "The position of Regent's Consort is a hot potato. It's not good to give it to any noble lady. It's better to keep it roasting in the oven."

"You make it sound like I'm not marrying a princess because of you. If those people eyeing the princess's position knew, wouldn't they hate me to death? You can put this blame on someone else, don't put it on me. I'm young and weak, I can't bear the burden."

Xiao Che laughed in anger: "You have the mind of a petty person!"

Jiang Ruining cupped his face as he tried to back away, looking him up and down. "I've seen through you. Your Highness the Regent won't be angry, will you?"

Xiao Che grabbed both her wrists with one large hand, and with the other hand he reached behind her and patted her buttocks twice: "I think you deserve a beating!"

Jiang Ruining was stunned.

dying!

In broad daylight, with so many people following behind her, this bastard actually spanked her!

She didn't dare look back at the others, feeling both ashamed and angry. Her face flushed red, and she kicked him, yelling, "Xiao Che! You scoundrel!"

Xiao Che stepped back, easily dodging her attack: "What, Miss Jiang, do you also want to be a rogue?"

Jiang Ruining, unable to kick him, became even angrier: "You're being a scoundrel! This is legitimate revenge! You stand there! Don't move, and see if I dare to hit you!"

Xiao Che seemed to have found the trick to warming up her relationship, and continued to tease her: "Your legs are long and slender, but your aim is terrible, you silly girl!"

The guards reacted quickly. The moment they saw their master grab the girl's wrist, they all held their swords and avoided eye contact, not daring to watch their masters flirting.

Okay, I'm being childish again!

Love, oh love, it can completely change a person!

Shi An silently gazed at the sky.

He then casually covered Yun Mi's eyes as well: "Don't look at what you shouldn't! If you shout and yell and displease the Prince, you'll be poisoned and rendered mute!"

Yunmi was indignant, but fearing that the regent might be real, she weighed the options carefully and decided to keep quiet.

Those around Xiao Che have gradually become accustomed to their master having two faces: cold and ruthless to outsiders, but indulgent and lenient to his family.

But outsiders who happened to catch a glimpse of it from afar were dumbfounded!

The young supervisor inspecting the hunting grounds tugged at his colleague: "Am I seeing things? The Regent is chasing and playing with a young lady!"

A colleague rested his chin on his hand and muttered, "One person might be seeing things, but two people probably aren't!"

The supervisor dared not look any further, fearing that the regent's men would see him and silence him: "I've only ever heard of how ruthless and heartless the regent is, I never imagined he had this side to him."

"Who says otherwise!" His colleague nudged him with his shoulder and silently gestured with his lip.

The supervisor looked in the direction his mouth was pointing and saw that the handsome Duke Shao was staring intently at the direction of the commotion with his lips tightly pressed together. His eyes clearly showed a man's possessiveness towards a woman!

He hissed softly.

Is this young man trying to steal a woman from the Regent?
