Chapter 92 Such 'Punishment

ing pushed aside. Regardless of his intentions, he kept saying no one dared to bully her, so she decided to take a gamble. She let out a loud yell at a prince and was curious how he would react.“I tho...Chapter 92: Such "Punishment"

The firecrackers were too numerous, falling straight down from the sky. In an instant, they made a loud noise and sparks flew everywhere.

Yun Qianyue was startled, her face changed instantly as she shouted urgently, “Seven Brother, be careful!”

The moment her words fell, she had already left the horse she was riding, flying towards Yu Zishu. But Yu Zishu left his horse a step faster than her and when Yun Qianyue lunged at him, he reached out to pull her in. With him carrying her, they floated to a place dozens of feet away, narrowly avoiding the explosion from the firecrackers.

After they landed steadily on their feet, the firecrackers hit the ground with loud sounds that drowned out all other noises on the street.

Yun Qianyue first turned to glance at Yu Zishu. Seeing he was fine and his brocade robe had not been scorched by any sparks from the firecrackers, she let out a sigh of relief. She then turned her gaze towards the firecrackers nearby with a cold expression.

Yu Zishu also glanced at the still-exploding firecrackers. Feeling the chill emanating from Yun Qianyue’s body, he patted her shoulder and comforted her warmly, “It's fine! Just a little thing!”

This was indeed just a small matter, an insignificant one; however, this trivial event could not be taken lightly.

"Moonie, are you guys okay" Rong Feng hastily dismounted his horse and rushed to Yun Qianyue’s side, asking worriedly.

“We’re fine!” Yun Qianyue shook her head as she looked at the still-exploding firecrackers, her face and voice cold.

"Is this perhaps Young Prince Jing getting angry about you returning late and..." Rong Feng saw that they were unharmed so he also looked towards those still-expanding firecrackers. There were too many of them, and the sound continued as they fell to the ground.

“No!” Yun Qianyue interrupted Rong Feng decisively.

"It is not!" Yu Zishu also shook his head gently.

Rong Feng stopped talking suddenly. Then, he smiled by himself, “How could I think that Young Prince Jing would be angry at you He wouldn’t do such a thing. You and Crown Prince Yu are so close; if something happened to him, you’d definitely rush there no matter what. Even if he’s angry, he wouldn’t hurt you.”

"Yes!" Yun Qianyue nodded. Rong Jing would never harm Seven Brother. He knew all about the entanglements between Seven Brother and her as well as their importance to each other in their hearts. Moreover, today was also when he allowed them alone time with each other. In certain times and for specific people, Rong Jing could still be very generous.

Rong Feng glanced at the storefront across the street and saw that it belonged to Prince Xiaoqin’s gambling den. At this moment, there were no figures on the upper floor. He retracted his gaze and told Yun Qianyue, "This is Five Seas Gambling Den, a property of Prince Xiaoqin."

Yun Qianyue had already seen the signboard of the gambling den across the street earlier when it was still daylight; now as dusk approached, the words “Five Seas” were still prominent. She looked up at the upper floor but saw no figures there either. Then she retracted her gaze and said to Rong Feng, "Rong Feng, please take a little trouble to go to Prince Xiaoqin’s mansion and invite him over to have a look. If these firecrackers injure us, it’s nothing, but if they injure the Crown Prince of Donghai Kingdom, this will be a huge matter."

"Okay!" Rong Feng responded immediately without further ado and mounted his horse again, heading for Prince Xiaoqin's residence.

The sound of hooves echoed as he rode away down the street.

Yu Zishu withdrew his gaze from Rong Feng and looked at the gambling den across the street. He said in a gentle voice, "The gambling den is busiest right now; all kinds of people are there. Even if something happens, it’s hard to find out who did it."

Yun Qianyue pursed her lips as she stared at the gambling den but didn’t say anything.

At this time, the door of the gambling den opened and dozens of people rushed out. A few men in front were dressed similarly with waist cards; they appeared to be the managers of the gambling den while behind them followed a group of attendants all dressed identically. Behind that was a mix of men wearing various kinds of attire, tall and short, fat and thin—they looked like guests at the gambling den.

"Miss Yun Qianyue" The elderly man in his fifties who walked out first saw Yun Qianyue and Yu Zishu and was taken aback. He hurried over to bow to her respectfully.

Yun Qianyue looked at the old man as she pointed towards the firecrackers, "Those firecrackers were thrown from upstairs just now."

The elderly man glanced at those firecrackers and his expression changed slightly. It seemed he had guessed something but was still rather composed. He said hurriedly, "Your humble servant heard the sound of the firecrackers and rushed out to see what happened. I didn’t expect that they were thrown from upstairs..."

"Prince Jade of Donghai and I were passing by when firecrackers were suddenly thrown at us, nearly injuring Prince Jade." Yun Qianyue interrupted him with a cold expression. "Shouldn't the Wuhu Si Hai gambling house give an explanation Who threw the firecrackers And to ignite dozens of them simultaneously requires quite some skill. Think about it—if those firecrackers had hit Prince Jade, what would have happened"

The old man's face paled instantly; he hadn’t met Yu Zishu before but today everyone in town was talking about how Miss Yun Qianyue and Prince Jade were out horse racing. The prince’s celestial appearance surpassed that of jade itself. Now, looking at the man by Yun Qianyue’s side—surely this must be Donghai's crown prince Even if he had never seen him before, there was just something about him that made everyone think of "jade surpassing flowers." He panicked and spoke incoherently: “This... old servant doesn't know what happened!”

"If I were to summon Prince Filial Piety, would it help you figure out what happened That way, we could give an explanation to Prince Jade!" Yun Qianyue said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, the old man’s face turned pale. His body went limp and he nearly fell to the ground—fortunately someone behind him caught him in time. He looked at Yun Qianyue fearfully with a trembling voice: “Miss Yun, we never intended harm towards Prince Jade; neither did our lord, nor does Young Lord...”

Yun Qianyue remained silent and only gave him a cold look.

The old man tried to argue further but seeing Yun Qianyue’s gaze silenced him. He looked at Yu Zishu; the prince's expression was calm as he stood quietly without any intention of speaking. The old man turned his gaze down towards the firecrackers, now nothing more than scraps on the ground, and saw that a window on the third floor had its curtains pulled back, with hanging firecrackers still visible inside—evidence clear as day. There was no room for deception in such circumstances. He composed himself and instructed those behind him: “Go! Arrest everyone inside the gambling house; make sure not to miss anyone who entered today. Investigate thoroughly—who dared throw firecrackers at Prince Jade”

"Yes!"

The old man’s words were followed by a chorus of affirmations from those behind him. Two men signaled and dozens more black-clothed figures appeared, quickly surrounding the gambling house. A few others entered to detain everyone inside.

They acted swiftly and efficiently—obviously well-versed in handling such incidents. But this case was different; their speed today surpassed usual due to the near threat to Prince Jade of Donghai. If it were merely a prince or princess, or even a vassal, they might not have been as alarmed, but he was the highly esteemed Prince Jade of Donghai. Moreover, there was Yun Qianyue, whom everyone in town dared not provoke. The Filial Piety Prince had long given orders to stay away from her and treat her with utmost respect if she visited a gambling house. Thankfully, Yun Qianyue rarely came here; they gradually relaxed over the years—until today when she came accompanied by Prince Jade. With clear evidence against them, there was no room for argument, only quick investigation to find who dared harm Prince Jade. Otherwise, not only would those in Wuhu Si Hai be endangered but also the Filial Piety Prince.

"Miss Yun, rest assured, I will uncover the culprit and give you both an explanation," the old man said earnestly as he looked at her again.

Yun Qianyue nodded with a calm expression. "I hope so. Otherwise, Wuhu Si Hai might not be around much longer."

The old man's heart skipped a beat and he fell silent.

"Zishu, let’s wait here for a while," Yun Qianyue said to Yu Zishu as she turned back.

“Alright,” Yu Zishu nodded in agreement.

The street was bustling with people when they rode through earlier but now it was deserted. They had likely all fled.

Sometime later, hoofbeats echoed; many horses were approaching.

Yun Qianyue followed the sound and saw several horsemen arrive—Ren Feng leading them, followed by Prince Filial Piety and Leng Sha Zhuo. Behind them was a group of black-clothed guards clearly from Prince Filial Piety’s household.

The old man paled again upon seeing Prince Filial Piety approach, fear evident in his eyes.

Soon the group arrived; Ren Feng dismounted first and was followed by Prince Filial Piety and Leng Sha Zhuo. Leng Sha Zhuo hurried over to Yun Qianyue and asked urgently: "Are you injured"

Yun Qianyue’s expression softened slightly as she shook her head, “No.”

Leng Sha Zhuo scrutinized Yun Qianyue from top to bottom then turned towards Yu Zishu, doing the same. He said: "I’m glad Prince Jade is unharmed."

Yu Zishu smiled and shook his head, “Rest assured, Cold Young Lord; these firecrackers wouldn’t have harmed me.”

Leng Sha Zhuo nodded and glanced at the firecrackers then up to the window on the third floor. He narrowed his eyes at the old man before him: "Cold Kai, explain this immediately! Why would someone throw firecrackers down now"

At that moment, Leng Sha Zhuo’s demeanor was as fierce as it used to be when faced with disobedience or dissatisfaction.

Cold Kai knelt on the spot and shook his head fearfully: "Young Lord, I truly don't know! Everything in the gambling house today seemed normal; no one acted suspiciously...

"You didn't know" Leng Shaozhuo's anger intensified. "This casino is your responsibility, it has always been under your control. How could you be oblivious to what happened What good are you"

"Your Highness, forgive me. I have already sent people to investigate and will definitely find out the truth..." Leng Kai was terrified and kept bowing.

"If you can't find it out, I think your head should move elsewhere!" Leng Shaozhuo issued a threatening statement.

Leng Kai was trembling so badly that he couldn't speak.

"What are you still kneeling for Hurry up and investigate!" Prince Xianqin spoke at this moment, slightly irritated.

"Yes, yes. I will go check now..." Leng Kai got up from the ground and stumbled into the casino.

Seeing Leng Kai leave, Prince Xianqin turned to Yu Zishu and Yun Qianyue: "Prince of Jade, Miss Shallow Moon, I am truly sorry that such a thing happened. Thankfully, you two weren't hurt..."

"If we were injured, Uncle Cold wouldn’t be able to stand here talking with us now. And neither would you," Yun Qianyue interrupted Prince Xianqin, her voice cold.

Prince Xianqin’s face paled and he hurriedly nodded: "That's right, Leng Kai has already gone to investigate. He will quickly provide an explanation for Prince of Jade and Miss Shallow Moon. You know that this casino attracts all sorts of people..."

"Although the casino attracts a mixed crowd, every person who passes through each day is recorded," Yun Qianyue interrupted again, her voice calm: "Moreover, how do I know it wasn't you, Prince Xianqin, orchestrating this from behind to harm Prince of Jade After all, you can see that the fireworks on the ground are not made by a small number of firecrackers. Without prior planning and preparation, there's no way someone could throw them down so quickly for us to not spot anyone. It’s really difficult to bring in such a large amount of firecrackers into your casino without being noticed."

"How can I possibly harm Prince of Jade Miss Shallow Moon, you mustn't say such things..." Prince Xianqin was shocked and quickly said: "The Prince of Jade from the Eastern Sea is esteemed by Emperor Taisheng and His Majesty. It's hard to invite him even in a good year; this year he came with great difficulty and received special treatment from the emperor. Even if I had ten courages, I wouldn't dare harm Prince of Jade... As for these firecrackers...I will certainly investigate carefully to see who dared to harm Prince of Jade."

"If there's nothing wrong, that would be best. I don’t hope Uncle Cold harbors such thoughts either," Yun Qianyue looked at him: "You should know that the Eastern Sea King loves his son dearly and the subjects love their prince like life itself. If anything happens to Prince of Jade, your casino won't just suffer; even the Xianqin Prince Manor would be implicated. After all, the power of the Eastern Sea cannot be underestimated. Although our Heavenly Dynasty is a great nation, we can hardly withstand the military might of the Eastern Sea in its current state! Uncle Cold, calculating this way, if something does happen to him on your turf, do you think you won't become a criminal of Heavenly Dynasty"

Prince Xianqin's already pale face turned even whiter upon hearing this; he was speechless for a long time.

"I am not exaggerating. The situation is here! Uncle Cold, take a look yourself! As an old minister who has served through two dynasties of Heavenly Dynasty, after the previous emperor's passing, you assisted my uncle and might become one serving three emperors in total. You should be clear about the current political landscape and also understand the importance of Prince of Jade."

"Of course I understand. This matter is absolutely not orchestrated by me; someone must want to harm Prince of Jade. I will surely investigate it out and give Prince of Jade a fair explanation," Prince Xianqin repeatedly assured, his voice trembling with fear, clearly understanding that Yun Qianyue was not exaggerating. Just thinking about the consequences if something happened to the Prince of Jade made him feel panic.

"If you understand, that's good!" After speaking, Yun Qianyue glanced at Yu Zishu.

"Whether or not this incident is related to Prince Xianqin, since it occurred in his casino and the firecrackers fell from inside, especially when I happened to be passing by. This matter naturally needs an explanation from Prince Xianqin," Yu Zishu slowly said: "Though I wasn't hurt, this isn't a trivial matter."

"That's right, that’s right. I will certainly provide an explanation for Prince of Jade. Thankfully, nothing happened to him; otherwise, even if I were to forfeit my life, it wouldn’t make up for just one-tenth of his value," Prince Xianqin nodded repeatedly, showing utmost respect.

Yu Zishu smiled but didn't speak further.

Leng Shaozhuo glanced at Yun Qianyue and Yu Zishu then pursed his lips without speaking.

Sweat rolled down Prince Xianqin's face, he wiped it not, straightening up to look towards the entrance of the casino. His back was already drenched in sweat.

For a moment, everything fell silent.

Shortly after, Leng Kai rushed out from inside, his face pale as he knelt down: "Your Highness, I... I couldn't find who did it. No one left the casino; everyone was gambling on site when we checked around. There's no evidence of anyone throwing firecrackers from the third floor. It’s said that when the firecrackers went off, all guests on the third floor turned to look but didn’t see anyone..."

"Useless!" Leng Shaozhuo stepped forward and kicked Leng Kai, enraged: "No one was seen, do you think it's a ghost"

Leng Kai dared not dodge and took the kick squarely. He hurriedly said: "Young Master, maybe it’s a martial arts expert who sneaked into the casino to avoid our guards and guests...

Cold Shaozhu was still angry, "There were hundreds of guards protecting this casino. How could a martial arts expert sneak in without being noticed What good are you all to the Prince Regent’s Xianqin王府 if you can’t even do your job" With that said, he no longer looked at Cold Kai and angrily ordered, “Servant, chop off this old man!”

Cold Kai was terrified. "Your Highness, please spare me! I will find the culprit..."

A black-clad bodyguard appeared in response to his command. He unsheathed a sword and aimed for Cold Li’s head.

"Stop!" Prince Regent Xianqin ordered.

The dark-clothed guard retracted the weapon, bowed, and stood by the side.

“Father, what use is he We might as well kill him.” Cold Shaozhu looked at Prince Regent Xianqin with anger.

"He should be killed for being so careless. Not even realizing that someone was setting up a trap against him. But allowing firecrackers to enter the casino and letting them harm Jade Crown Prince is unforgivable, too. However, we haven’t found the culprit yet, killing him won’t help. He has been managing this casino for years; I know his capabilities well enough. Although he made a mistake today, he hasn't failed in all these years, so let him continue looking!” said Prince Regent Xianqin.

"Your Highness, I will definitely find the culprit..." Cold Kai promised repeatedly.

Cold Shaozhu fell silent and looked at Yun Qianmo and Jade Crown Prince.

Prince Regent Xianqin also turned to look at them. He sincerely said, "Miss Yun Qianmo, Prince Yuzi, I didn’t mean to harm either of you. Even if I wanted to, it’s impossible for me to have such a big loophole in my casino so that people can catch me red-handed. Furthermore, harming Prince Yuzi would only hurt myself. Isn't this the case It might be as what my servant said: someone with martial arts skills sneaked into the casino and plotted against Prince Yuzi. I will definitely find out who did it. Please give me some time."

"Alright!" Jade Crown Prince nodded slowly.

"I don’t want Cold King Uncle to randomly pick a scapegoat. If you do, think about whether or not you can fool my eyes." Yun Qianmo threw out that sentence.

"Of course I won’t!" Prince Regent Xianqin shook his head and promised again.

“Let’s go back to the palace now, Your Highness. Since this is the territory of Prince Regent Xianqin, we should leave it to him.” Yun Qianmo no longer looked at Prince Regent Xianqin as she spoke to Jade Crown Prince.

Jade Crown Prince nodded in agreement.

Yun Qianmo looked at Rong Feng, “Let’s take you back to Duke Wenbo’s residence first!”

"I can’t do anything when I’m back. As a witness who saw everything with my own eyes, I will stay here and help Prince Regent Xianqin and Young Master Cold Shaozhu find the culprit. You two should go back to the palace now! Prince Yuzi was scared today and you need to treat him well." Rong Feng shook his head.

"Alright!" Yun Qianmo nodded, then got on her horse.

Jade Crown Prince waved a hand; the horse that he rode also jumped away when he dodged the firecrackers. Although it was injured by the firecracker, its injury wasn’t serious. It ran over when Jade Crown Prince beckoned to it and he climbed back onto his horse.

Neither of them were talkative people. After sitting straight on their horses, they spurred their mounts forward and left Four Seas Casino.

After turning a corner, the street was very quiet. They faintly saw a carriage parked outside Duke Wenbo’s residence. A man in snow-blue brocade robes got off the carriage; his appearance and silhouette were exactly like those of Seventh Prince Ye Tianyi. The entrance of his mansion was precisely that of Seventh Prince’s Residence.

Yun Qianmo then remembered that she would have to pass by Seventh Prince’s Residence when she went to West Mountain. She glanced at Ye Tianyi before continuing on her horse.

Jade Crown Prince naturally also saw Ye Tianyi; he focused his gaze on him for a moment and noticed that Ye Tianyi seemed to hear their galloping hooves, stopped walking towards the residence, then turned around and looked westward. His eyes flickered as he rode alongside Yun Qianmo without stopping.

When they arrived at Seventh Prince’s Residence gate, Jade Crown Prince pulled on his reins; Yun Qianmo was originally planning to leave but since Jade Crown Prince had stopped, she also tugged her reins.

"I heard that Prince Yuzi went horse racing with Moon today and had fun" Ye Tianyi looked at them and asked with a smile as he watched their horses for a moment.

"Cloudy's riding skills are naturally good; I can't compete with her," Yu Zishu smiled gently.

Yun Qianyue gave Yu Zishu a sideways glance, "Don't be too modest! It’s actually me who can’t match you. Even after drinking, you could still run so fast. Saying this now isn’t you deliberately setting up a bet for me"

Yu Zishu chuckled, "I was relying on the strength from my drunkenness!"

Yun Qianyue gave a light snort and didn't say anything more.

"Moon's riding skills are naturally good; Tianyi has always known that. A few years ago, she wanted to get red phoenix horses from the Northern Frontier because they have better stamina than ordinary horses. I promised her two red phoenix horses, which is why she stopped thinking about it."

"Red Phoenix Horses aren't the best horses; Jade Snow Flying Dragons and Persian Horses are the best ones." Yu Zishu nodded with a smile, turning his head to look at Yun Qianyue and said teasingly, "When did your standards drop so low"

Night Tianyi's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that.

"Since I can't get Jade Snow Flying Dragons or Persian Horses, of course I'll settle for the best available! Your East Sea Kingdom is wealthy; why don’t you give me two such fine horses" Yun Qianyue said.

"Alright! My East Sea Kingdom has exactly two Jade Snow Flying Dragons and Persian Horses. Whenever you go to my kingdom, I’ll give them to you." Yu Zishu readily agreed.

"Big-spender!" Yun Qianyue scolded him and then said happily with a change of tone, "This is what you promised me; don’t take it back."

"When have I ever gone back on my word" Yu Zishu raised his eyebrows.

"Never! Then that’s fine!" Yun Qianyue nodded and said to him, "Let's head home now. I'm exhausted!" With that, she rode forward.

Yu Zishu looked at Night Tianyi and smiled, "Seventh Prince, let me go for today! I’m truly tired; I’ll rest when I get back. We can chat another day."

"Prince Jade is staying at Yun王府？" Night Tianyi followed Yun Qianyue’s figure with his gaze and asked casually.

Yu Zishu smiled, "No, I’m staying at the Glory王府; first, I’ll take Moon home, then go to the Glory王府."

"Alright, see you another day! Prince Jade, have a good rest!" Night Tianyi withdrew his gaze and said to Yu Zishu, "My residence is next to Yun王府. Now that Prince Jade knows where it is, feel free to come anytime."

"Okay!" Yu Zishu nodded and didn’t say more as he followed Yun Qianyue.

Rong Jing’s carriage was parked at the entrance of the Yun王府. Xiangge sat in front of the carriage; seeing them return, he immediately got off and said to Yu Zishu, "Prince Jade, may I see you back"

Yun Qianyue dismounted her horse and asked, "Where’s Rong Jing"

"Miss Yun, our young master is in your Moon閣!" Xiangge replied.

Yun Qianyue nodded and looked at Yu Zishu, "Zishu, do you want to go inside"

Yu Zishu glanced at Xiangge and the carriage behind him with a slight smile and shook his head, saying, "No need! I’ll just rest at Yun王府 tonight; I am indeed rather tired."

"Alright then, go ahead!" Yun Qianyue waved her hand at him.

Xiangge immediately lifted the carriage curtain. Yu Zishu slowly leaned in and climbed into the carriage as the curtains fell to cover his body.

Xiangge got back onto the carriage and whipped the reins, turning it towards the Glory王府.

The carriage had barely moved a few steps when Yun Qianyue was about to turn around and enter the mansion. Suddenly, the curtain inside the carriage was lifted, and Yu Zishu said in an extremely low voice, "Cloud, what did you call me just now when the firecrackers were raining down from the three-story building"

Yun Qianyue paused for a moment and replied, "Be careful, Little Seven. What's wrong"

Yu Zishu looked at her and slowly said, "Isn’t the Seventh Prince ranked seventh Have you ever called him that before"

A thought flashed through Yun Qianyue’s mind.

Yu Zishu glanced to the west but saw that Ye Tianyi was still standing by the gate and had not entered the mansion yet. He then withdrew his gaze, fell silent, and let the curtain drop down.

Xiange glanced at Yun Qianyue and seeing that she did not stop him, he drove away from the entrance of Yun王府 (Yun Mansion).

Yun Qianyue silently watched the carriage leave as her mind wandered back to the moment when she had shouted out "Be careful, Little Seven!" in a critical situation. She pursed her lips and did not look westward; instead, she stood still.

A sound of footsteps approached from behind, followed by a low shout, “Miss, you’re finally back!”

Yun Qianyue snapped out of her thoughts and turned around to see Ling Lian and Yi Xue rushing over. She asked, "What’s so urgent"

The two stopped in their tracks and shook their heads simultaneously, saying, “There isn’t anything important. Prince Jing has been waiting for you since noon. He didn’t leave even when it started to get dark. Worried about you, we wanted to look for you but he wouldn’t let us. Now that you’re back, the sky is completely dark!”

“I see,” Yun Qianyue nodded and said, “I’ll go back now.” She then turned around to head towards the inner courtyard.

The two followed her.

The main gate of the Yun王府 (Yun Mansion) closed tightly behind them.

Upon returning to Shanyue Pavilion, she found that all the rooms in the courtyard were lit but the eastern room was pitch black.

Turning back to look at Ling Lian and Yi Xue, Yun Qianyue saw both of them shaking their heads and whispering, “We wanted to light up the room for him, but Prince Jing said it wasn’t necessary.”

Yun Qianyue redirected her gaze and pushed open the door. Using the light from other rooms in the courtyard, she could faintly see Rong Jing half-laid on a soft couch with a book covering his head. His pale moon-colored brocade robe glowed faintly in the darkness. He seemed motionless as if unaware of someone entering.

Yun Qianyue pushed aside the curtains and stepped into the room, first lighting up an oil lamp on the table before approaching the couch where she heard his light breathing; it was even, indicating that he had fallen asleep. She gently removed the book from him and called out softly, “Rong Jing!”

Rong Jing did not stir.

Yun Qianyue noticed the faint glow of alcohol on his face and inhaled his scent; it smelled like snow and lotus, now mixed with a hint of wine that was very pleasant. She sat beside him, hugged his waist, buried her head into his chest, and took several deep breaths of his fragrance before exclaiming, "People say beautiful men become even more alluring when drunk—indeed!"

"The Jade Prince is also a beauty; he too had some wine today. Are you saying the same about him" Rong Jing’s voice suddenly rose.

Yun Qianyue looked up to see that his eyes were open and smiled at him sweetly, "Of course nothing can compare with you!"

Rong Jing gave her a mild look and said, “You returned too late today. Although I allowed you to leave, I didn’t agree for you to come back so late; punishment is due.”

“Punishment What kind of punishment” Yun Qianyue looked at Rong Jing and thought that if he kissed her as an apology, she wouldn't mind.

Rong Jing pointed at the book Yun Qianyue had just taken from him: "Your punishment is to read it once and write down its content."

Following his gaze, Yun Qianyue saw that the cover of the book was marked with two large characters “女訓” (Women’s Teaching) … same. Everything will be fine eventually,” Prince Regent D comforted him: “Young people getting injured is part of their growth experience. We all have troublesome children; let’s just console each o...
