Chu Shaoyang's expression softened slightly.
"What did the princess do while the king was away from the palace? Has she ever left the palace?" He asked again.
The housekeeper secretly glanced at Chu Shaoyang's face and replied carefully: "After the princess got up, she had breakfast first, and then went to play on the swing in the garden without leaving the house."
"Has she ever asked about my whereabouts?"
"Um..." The butler hesitated and replied, "The princess did not ask about the prince."
Chu Shaoyang's face sank again.
"Where is the princess now?"
"Back to your lord, the princess has not come out since she returned to her room from the garden." the butler replied.
Chu Shaoyang thought for a while and said, "I will go and see her."
He gave a few instructions to the housekeeper and then walked to the embroidery building in the backyard.
Climbing up the stairs, he saw Shen Ning's back at a glance.
She was standing on the railing, looking at the clouds on the horizon in such a daze that she didn't even notice that he was walking behind her.
Chu Shaoyang put his arms around her slender waist and said softly: "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Ning's whole body tensed up, and her first reaction was to break away, but as soon as she struggled, Chu Shaoyang looked at her with a hurt expression.
"Ning'er, we are going to get married soon, aren't you used to letting me touch you?" He said quietly.
Her heart softened, remembering that he had done many things for her during this period, and he could be said to be completely obedient to her. He was not originally a person with such a personality, but to be able to do this for her, he must have loved her very much.
He was right, she was going to marry him soon. Being his wife and being hugged by him was nothing. If she refused him again, she wouldn't be able to bear it.
But when she was held in his arms, she felt inexplicably irritated.
Not wanting to be noticed by him, she lowered her eyes and whispered: "You left the house early in the morning, but is there anything important?"
Chu Shaoyang felt happy, hugged her tightly and said, "Ning'er, you still have me in your heart, you still care about me, right?"
She smiled and said, "I don't care about you, so who do I care about?"
Chu Shaoyang laughed. He felt that he was really worrying too much. She just uttered a few words in her dream, and he was really a bit weak.
"Ning'er, I'm going to leave you temporarily for a few days. The emperor has given me an errand. I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning. When I'm not in the house, you don't go anywhere. Just wait for me to come back. Do you understand? "
Shen Ning raised her eyes and looked at him: "Where are you going? Is there any danger?"
Somehow, she felt relieved when she heard that he would be leaving for a few days.
Chu Shaoyang felt happy when he heard that she cared about him. He smiled and said, "You are worried about me, aren't you? Don't worry, I will come back safely. When I come back, we will get married immediately, okay?"
He couldn't wait any longer and secretly regretted that he really shouldn't have scheduled the wedding for a month later.
Shen Ning frowned: "You will get married when you come back? Doesn't the date of the wedding invitations sent out have to be changed?"
Chu Shaoyang said without thinking: "If you change the day, change the day."
He stroked her hair and said: "After I leave, I will send someone to protect your safety. You don't have to worry. You can go wherever you want to play and buy whatever you want. You don't have to save money for me, as long as you are happy." , I am happier than anything else.”
