Chapter 818: Chapter 751: Reckless_3

Of course, Prince Cheng and his wife didn’t mind. Huangfu Jingchen was even more upright and carefree, enjoying the leisure time with the family!

Xia Wenjin turned her head and said a little embarrassedly, "I’m sorry, I originally came to find you, but it led to a misunderstanding! I hope the Princess won’t mind!"

Huangfu Jingchen scratched his head and said with a chuckle, "Don’t overthink it, it’s nothing! My mother loves to play. To test the guards in the mansion, she often does this. Now, when the guards see her making a move, they don’t even show up!"

Xia Wenjin: "..."

If the guards had shown up, she wouldn’t have ended up fighting with Concubine Cheng. It was because the mansion was so quiet that she thought the worst.

Hmm, this Concubine Cheng is quite different from the one in her memory, the one who acted swiftly, exuding mystery in Jianghu, reputedly the master of a powerful force, the one who followed Prince Cheng to martyrdom after the city was broken. So she always had such a childlike heart.

She couldn’t help but feel envious.

A woman who can keep a childlike heart, live as she pleases, and be pampered to remain as bright as a young girl, must be very happy.

If there were no bloody wars, no internal and external troubles, she could have lived this happy life all along.

Pampered by her husband, cherished by her son.

But the country was broken, the city destroyed, there was no food or support, and human efforts couldn’t turn the tide, leading to such an end for the family!

This life, it won’t happen again!

Huangfu Jingchen turned to look at her, his gaze sparkling like a sky full of stars, and gently said, "I also wanted to find you today, but my mother pretended to be night hunting, and my father took me to watch. I didn’t expect you to come, but I’m really glad you did!"

Xia Wenjin said, "I came because there’s something I need to tell you!"

"Let me make you some tea first, then we can chat slowly!" Huangfu Jingchen pointed to the courtyard over there, "That’s where I live!"

His brows were filled with smiles; under the starry sky, he was handsome and poised, like a piece of jade.

Xia Wenjin boldly said, "Alright!"

Two quarters of an hour later, Huangfu Jingchen was sending Xia Wenjin off.

Watching her graceful figure effortlessly climb over the courtyard wall, Huangfu Jingchen felt his heart filled to the brim.

As he was about to return to the courtyard, he turned his head and suddenly got a fright.

Behind him, Prince Cheng and Concubine Cheng were both looking at him intently.

Huangfu Jingchen helplessly said, "Father, Mother, do you walk without making a sound?"

Lu Qianxue rolled her eyes at him, "Isn’t that obvious?"

If they made noise while walking, wouldn’t they scare the little girl away?

Prince Cheng nodded in agreement with his wife.

Lu Qianxue looked at Huangfu Jingchen with a smile and said mysteriously, "Jingchen, is this the Miss Xia you mentioned before?"

Huangfu Jingchen said, "Yes, Mother." Remembering Xia Wenjin’s earlier embarrassment, he explained for her, "Mother, Wenjin didn’t know it was you, that’s why she acted the way she did, please don’t be angry!"

Lu Qianxue beamed with joy and said, "Why would I be angry? The girl acts decisively, strikes swiftly, isn’t pedantic, and is quick-witted, which I appreciate. What’s more, her intention to protect Prince Mansion, to stand by you, made me very happy!"

Prince Cheng gave him a thumbs-up, "Just like my son, great taste, just like me!"

Lu Qianxue laughed and said, "Are you praising our son or yourself?"

Prince Cheng embraced Lu Qianxue and said matter-of-factly, "Xue’er, I’m praising you! How could the son you bore be anything but outstanding?"

Huangfu Jingchen: "..."

Already used to the affection between his parents in front of him, he said with a numb face, "Father, Mother, after Grandfather’s birthday celebration, could you help me with something?"

"What do you need help with, tell us!"

Huangfu Jingchen said, "Wenjin is the darling of the Village Chief of Jinzhou Haotian Village!"

Prince Cheng said, "So what?"

Lu Qianxue’s eyes lit up, she patted Huangfu Jingchen’s shoulder suddenly and said, "Don’t worry, we’ll make sure this matter is handled perfectly!"

Prince Cheng looked between their son and Concubine Cheng and said, "Is it settled? Can you tell me what it’s about?"

Lu Qianxue rolled her eyes at him, her pale finger poking his forehead, "Of course, it’s to propose a marriage! Your son has made it clear, aren’t you silly?"

Prince Cheng wasn’t angry at all, he exclaimed with delight, "Alright, alright, why wait? Why don’t we go tomorrow! After all, the Emperor can do without me or with me!"
