Chapter 104 Rong Zhen: He shouldn't have let his mind wander.

Yunwei followed Rong Zhen out of the Prince's mansion, then turned left, and after walking a few steps, stopped in front of a mansion.

Yunwei looked at the mansion, then at the Regent's Palace not far away, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

"Your Highness, this house is..."

Rong Zhen glanced down at her, then held out his hand to her and said, "Give me the key."

Upon hearing this, Yunwei already knew the answer in her heart.

The mansion in front of us was a gift from Rong Zhen, and it's right next to the Regent's Palace.

Because she hadn't originally planned to accept the house, she hadn't looked closely at the address on the deed. Before this, she didn't know that the house Rong Zhen had given her was only a wall away from the Regent's Palace.

With mixed feelings, she opened the box and handed over a set of keys.

Rong Zhen took the key, picked it up, and unlocked the door knocker.

With a creak, the heavy wooden door was pushed open, revealing a spacious courtyard to Yunwei.

Yunwei followed Rong Zhen inside.

"If you like, you can come and stay here often. If you don't like it, you can leave it empty," Rong Zhen said casually.

Yunwei snapped out of her reverie, glanced at him, and deliberately remarked with a touch of melancholy, "I never imagined that one day I would be neighbors with the Regent."

Rong Zhen's lips curled slightly as he turned to look at her. "Will the county princess move in?"

Yun Wei hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

Originally, she didn't want this house because she felt she had already received a lot of benefits from Rong Zhen.

However, it was clear that the other party would not take it back, and she couldn't bring herself to refuse it. Therefore, she had no choice but to accept the gift.

Since it has been accepted, there is no reason for it to remain unused.

Anyway, it's just another place to stay, and the location here is so good.

"When are you moving in?" Rong Zhen blurted out, her phoenix eyes filled with anticipation. After speaking, fearing that she might misunderstand, she added, "Qingfeng and Sang Qing are quite free. If you decide to move, you can ask them to help you."

Qingfeng, who was guarding outside the door: "..."

When did he become free?

He's clearly so busy every day that he doesn't even have a chance to drink water.

Yunwei didn't think much of it. After pondering for a moment, she said seriously, "I'll have someone pick a date when we get back. We need to choose an auspicious day for moving."

"I can have the Imperial Astronomical Bureau select an auspicious day for you," Rong Zhen said slowly.

Yunwei quickly shook her head and refused, "No need for that trouble, I'll just ask Uncle Chen to check the auspicious date, he's good at it."

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen did not insist any further.

The two strolled around the huge mansion.

I went in through the front yard, then to the garden, and then looked around at the other yards.

Although no one lives in the mansion, it is kept very clean and tidy, and the scenery is well maintained and undamaged, which shows that it is usually taken care of.

Considering its location, Yunwei could easily guess that this house was originally part of the Regent's Palace. After all, it was right next to the Regent's Palace, and probably no one else was qualified to be his neighbor.

But Rongzhen gave her the adjacent mansion.

Such an honor made her feel somewhat uneasy.

But when she thought of what Rong Zhen had said by the pond in the Regent's Palace, her unease lessened somewhat.

As Rong Zhen himself said, his life was worth far more than these things.

Because she had helped him detoxify, thus saving his life, he gave her these things simply to express his gratitude. Thinking this way, she felt a little more at ease.

A cold raindrop suddenly landed on her face, pulling Yunwei back to reality.

She looked up and realized it was raining, and the rain was coming down very quickly.

Before she could react, the man had already raised his sleeve and placed it over her head. "It's raining. Let's take shelter under the eaves over there."

Yun Wei was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded.

The two hurried to a nearby porch to take shelter from the rain.

The rain was so heavy and fast that even though the two of them had been walking very fast, by the time they reached the corridor, their hair, clothes, and shoes were inevitably soaked.

Yunwei was slightly better off because Rong Zhen's sleeve covered the top of her head; only her clothes and shoes were a little wet.

Rong Zhen wasn't so lucky. Because he was shielding Yun Wei from the rain, large parts of his sleeves were soaked, and some rainwater was dripping from his long hair.

Seeing the raindrops on the man's face, Yunwei paused, then couldn't help but take out a handkerchief from her bosom. "Would you like to wipe your face first?"

Rong Zhen glanced at her, said nothing, and reached out to take it.

As he wiped the rain from his face with a handkerchief, a unique fragrance, distinctly feminine, wafted into his nostrils.

He paused in his wiping motion, and a blush slowly spread across his handsome face, which was partially covered by the handkerchief.

After Yunwei gave him the handkerchief, she belatedly realized that her action was inappropriate.

Although the two were acquainted, they were still different men and women.

Moreover, handkerchiefs are considered personal items.

She hadn't thought much about it at the time, but he responded so naturally.

Didn't he find it inappropriate?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at the man.

Upon seeing this, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and a feeling of shame and indignation surged into her heart.

At this moment, Rong Zhen was lost in thought and forgot to wipe himself. Coincidentally, the handkerchief he was holding stopped at his nose, and he looked as if he was sniffing the handkerchief.

Unable to bear it any longer, Yunwei suddenly reached out and pulled the handkerchief back.

His hand suddenly empty, Rong Zhen snapped out of his daze and looked at her in confusion. But when he met the woman's angry eyes, his handsome brows furrowed. "What are you doing..."

Yunwei gripped her handkerchief tightly and said sarcastically, "The Regent's actions are certainly not those of a virtuous gentleman."

Rong Zhen was even more confused. "What did I do?" He paused, then added, "Of course, I am certainly not a gentleman."

Yun Wei's lips twitched. "So, just because Your Highness is a hypocrite, does that give you the right to do despicable things?"

Rong Zhen's temple throbbed with a vein. "Yun Wei, don't go too far. I have treated you with courtesy time and time again, and you're taking advantage of me? What have I done that makes you feel so disgusted?"

Yun Wei sneered, deciding not to give him any face, and said directly, "I kindly lent you a handkerchief to wipe your face, but what are you doing with my handkerchief? I never thought you were this kind of person."

Rong Zhen was stunned. Recalling the incident of wiping his face with her handkerchief, his handsome face darkened completely. But when he thought of the faint fragrance on the handkerchief, he suddenly fell silent.

Although he did nothing, the fragrance on the handkerchief disturbed his mind. He even found the smell pleasant and wondered if the fragrance was her own scent, since she kept the handkerchief close to her body.

Seeing that he remained silent and speechless, Yunwei sneered again, "The dignified Regent has actually done something so disrespectful. It's truly an eye-opener for me."

Rong Zhen's face turned ashen, yet he was unable to refute her.

Because he was indeed in the wrong in this matter; he shouldn't have let his mind wander.

But he only thought about it for a moment, wondering why Yunwei was able to see through it?

For the first time, the regent felt embarrassed.
