The seductive princess is no longer being pursued; the aloof prime minister is facing a crematorium.

Chapter 291 The Child!?
Jiang Jinshuang looked at Pei Du in front of her, and opened her mouth as if to say something.

Suddenly, a male voice was heard coming from inside the princess's residence.

"Your Highness, you're finally back!"

The voice sounded too familiar, and Jiang Jinshuang turned around abruptly.

A handsome man, holding a baby in his arms, with red-rimmed eyes, ran towards her, sobbing.

Jiang Jinshuang's eyes widened in disbelief: "Fu Qingshan? How did you end up in the capital from Baiyujing?!"

Fu Qingshan walked up to Jiang Jinshuang, his eyes moist: "I heard that something happened in Chang'an City. The people of Baiyujing are very worried about you, so they sent me here as fast as I could to find you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinshuang smiled and sighed, "It's nothing. Xiaobao is so young. How can the child handle you rushing over like this?"

While scolding Fu Qingshan, Jiang Jinshuang smiled and glanced at the baby in the swaddling clothes.

Perhaps it was because he had seen a long-lost relative, but when Xiao Bao saw Jiang Jinshuang, he opened his two chubby little hands and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Jiang Jinshuang quickly and gently coaxed, "Don't cry, little one, let Mommy hug you..."

As she spoke, Jiang Jinshuang skillfully took the child from the man's arms and gently comforted him.

"Fu Qingshan, Xiaobao is clearly hungry, can't you see?"

"Huh? I...I don't know..."

Jiang Jinshuang looked helpless: "How could you be such a father..."

Fu Qingshan lowered his head and dared not speak.

Looking at the child with heartache, Jiang Jinshuang glared at Fu Qingshan again before turning to Pei Du beside her: "Lord Pei, I have some urgent business to attend to. Let's talk another day."

After saying that, Jiang Jinshuang didn't look at Pei Du again, and turned to leave with the child in her arms.

Upon entering the princess's residence, Jiang Jinshuang hurriedly instructed a servant to heat up some goat milk in the kitchen. Worried that Xiaobao might be cold, she had Chuntao bring out the clothes that had been prepared earlier and carefully changed Xiaobao's clothes.

Upon seeing Xiao Bao, Chun Tao's eyes crinkled with joy: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Nuonuo seems to have grown quite a bit since the last time you saw her!"

Jiang Jinshuang's eyes finally softened. She smiled and gently patted Xiaobao's back: "Nuonuo has had a lot of bad luck, having such a living father."

Mentioning Fu Qingshan, Chun Tao laughed even harder, tears welling up in her eyes: "Hahaha, Your Highness, you have no idea! Young Master Fu and Miss Yue Ling had a falling out. Miss Yue Ling was busy helping you with your official duties in Baiyujing, but Young Master Fu said that she loved you the most and didn't love him anymore. He then ran away from home with Nuonuo in his arms!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinshuang sighed helplessly: "You and Yue Ling have both been loyal followers of mine for many years. The reason I left her in Baiyujing this time is because she is good at handling official business. I feel very reassured leaving Baiyujing in her care."

"The second one is Fu Qingshan. Before returning to Beijing, he kept crying in front of me, saying that he didn't want to be separated from Yue Ling and that their child was young and he wanted Yue Ling to spend more time with the child."

At this point, Jiang Jinshuang shook her head with a smile: "It seems I should go back to Baiyujing, otherwise Fu Qingshan will hang himself in front of me."

Yue Ling is steady and aloof. Like Chun Tao, she is a loyal bodyguard of Jiang Jinshuang.

She and Fu Qingshan were like two extremes in personality. Yue Ling was calm and collected, and could maintain absolute rationality no matter what happened.

In contrast, Fu Qingshan was more like a delicate and beautiful young lady, following Yue Ling around all day, calling her "wife, wife".

This time, due to the actions of the Black Armored Cavalry, Bai Yujing suddenly had many urgent official duties to handle.

As a result, Yue Ling stayed up all night, spending her days in the study handling official business, and did not go home for several days.

Fu Qingshan was unwilling.

She cried and argued with Yue Ling, saying that she didn't love him anymore.

Yue Ling hadn't finished her official duties and didn't want to argue with him, so she just gave him a few perfunctory replies.

This perfunctory response made Fu Qingshan even more unacceptable.

Following the storybook, she took her child and ran away from home.

"—She's not stupid after all; she even knew to come to Chang'an to seek refuge with her." Jiang Jinshuang sighed, both amused and exasperated: "Go and write a letter back to Yue Ling first, telling her that Fu Qingshan and Nuonuo are with me, so she doesn't need to worry."

Chuntao smiled and said, "When Young Master Fu first arrived at the Princess's residence, I had already sent someone to do it."

After a pause, Chun Tao smiled gloatingly: "Your Highness, guess who will bow down this time, Young Master Fu or Yue Ling?"

Jiang Jinshuang smiled and shook her head: "When has it ever been Fu Qingshan who bowed down? Maybe he's packing his bags in his room right now, preparing to go back to Baiyujing to find Yue Ling."

……

Just as Jiang Jinshuang had predicted.

Before midnight, Fu Qingshan, with tears streaming down his face, packed his bags and insisted on returning to Baiyujing.

Jiang Jinshuang sighed, no longer caring whether he lived or died.

She waved her hand and said, "I won't stop you from going back, but Nuonuo has just traveled a long way to the capital and her health hasn't recovered yet. She won't go back with you."

"Your Highness! How could you detain my and Ling'er's biological child!"

Jiang Jinshuang laughed and scolded him, "What I mean is that I will also be returning to Baiyujing in a few days, and Nuonuo will come back with me then."

After a pause, Jiang Jinshuang said helplessly, "You're exhausted. I can find Yue Ling a better husband, but as Nuonuo's godmother, Xiao Bao can't be allowed to get into trouble."

During the three years in Baiyujing, Jiang Jinshuang spent a lot of time with Xiaobao. Even if Nuonuo stayed with her for a few days, she wouldn't cry or fuss.

At this moment, Fu Qingshan only had eyes for his beloved wife. Hearing Jiang Jinshuang say this, Fu Qingshan burst into tears, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness! I am eternally grateful. In my next life, I will be your ox or your horse—"

"Get out of here!"

After Fu Qingshan left, the Princess's residence finally quieted down.

Xiao Bao recognizes people, and he especially likes Jiang Jinshuang. Every time Jiang Jinshuang holds him, he giggles non-stop and doesn't fuss at all.

She doesn't need anyone to coax her to sleep or nurse; she can sleep soundly as long as she holds Jiang Jinshuang's finger.

For several days in a row, Jiang Jinshuang played with Xiaobao while dealing with the remaining affairs in the capital.

Once things are settled here, Jiang Jinshuang plans to return to Baiyujing for a visit.

Wen Fengcang came to Princess Canglai's residence to look for her.

—They've come to say goodbye.

After Wen Rile's death, Beihuai was without a ruler, and Wen Fengcang naturally became the next king of Beihuai.

Today, he will leave the capital to take over his post in Beihuai.

“Wen Fengcang, remember what you said,” Jiang Jinshuang smiled lazily, “Beihuai and Wanjin should form a century-long alliance.”

Wen Fengcang smiled and said, "Given the current strength of my Northern Huai Kingdom, even if we wanted to launch a war, we would need decades to recover."

After a pause, Wen Fengcang looked at Jiang Jinshuang and said solemnly, "Jiang Jinshuang, you killed my father, how can I not hate you?"

Jiang Jinshuang raised an eyebrow: "Because I killed Wen Rile, you will not have to bear the crime of patricide."

At this point, Jiang Jinshuang smiled and said, "Wen Fengcang, I don't care whether you hate me or not."

"That won't have any impact on me."

Upon hearing this, Wen Fengcang chuckled softly.

"Your Highness, you really are... heartless."
-
While strolling along Chang'an Street, Jiang Jinshuang spotted a stall selling tiger-head hats.

Thinking of buying one for Xiaobao, Jiang Jinshuang stepped forward.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Jingmo, who was by Pei Du's side, here.
