Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

As soon as she finished speaking, the grapes in Chuhe's hand fell and rolled off the mat.

Qiaosheng stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, for a moment thinking she had misheard.

Feng Xi's hand holding the wine glass froze in mid-air. The wine spilled from the rim of the glass and dripped onto the back of his hand without him noticing.

Shadow Falcon's expression shifted slightly, his eyebrows rising almost imperceptibly by half an inch.

Yu Chen poured the osmanthus wine from the wine pot into her cup, filling it to the brim.

Su Wuli picked up the glass, took a sip, put it down, and frowned as she looked at him.

He complained, "It's so full, what if it spills?"

Yu Chen looked at her and said softly, "It won't spill."

She glared at him. "Of course you won't spill it, you're not holding the cup."

After saying that, he picked up the cup and took a big gulp, then slammed it down on the cushion.

Chuhe's shoulders trembled slightly, and Qiaosheng quickly lowered her head, staring at the tips of her shoes.

No one dared to utter a sound.

Su Wuli picked up a piece of jujube paste pastry from the plate, took a bite and chewed it twice, then handed the remaining piece to Yu Chen's mouth.

"You eat."

Yu Chen looked down at the jujube paste pastry that she had bitten, and then took a bite.

"Too slow." She complained that he was chewing too slowly, picked up another piece and stuffed it into his mouth. "Eat faster, there's still plenty left."

Yu Chen took the jujube paste pastry.

She watched him take it, her brow furrowing slightly, as if something was amiss.

But I still don't understand.

Su Wuli reached out and touched his hair, gently patting the top of his head with her palm.

"Good boy/girl."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen paused for a moment while chewing on the jujube paste pastry.

The four people next to them froze instantly.

Although they knew Miss Su's position in their prince's heart, and knew that she would definitely be the future princess.

She also knew that the prince doted on her.

But I never imagined... it would turn out like this...

They didn't even dare to look up for more than a second.

Su Wuli touched his hair again with satisfaction.

This time I touched him for longer than before, running my fingers through his hair and slowly sliding them down.

"Good little dog," she mumbled.

Chuhe's knees bumped lightly on the carpet; she couldn't tell if it was from kneeling numb or from not sitting properly.

Feng Xi took her hands off her knees, placed them by her side, and then put them back on her knees.

Su Wuli's cheeks flushed slightly, as if she had thought of something.

She suddenly sighed and looked Yu Chen up and down, examining him from head to toe.

"You're too big."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

The people around them were even more so.

Chuhe and Qiaosheng blushed, wondering what their young lady was saying.

This absolutely cannot be heard by outsiders, otherwise they'll say my daughter is being reckless.

Feng Xi, standing to the side, was even more shocked. Was this the style of the future princess?

You wouldn't notice it at all under normal circumstances, would you?

He looked to Shadow Falcon for help, as if to ask if they could hear what he was about to say.

Will the prince skin me alive when I get back?

Shadow Falcon gently shook its head at him, signaling him not to move.

At this point, whatever they do will be wrong, so they should just stand in the background and pray that the prince doesn't notice them.

Just as everyone was brainstorming, Su Wuli continued.

"A dog this big needs a special large pool to take a bath, which costs a lot of money. A regular bathtub can't fit you at all, and you need to fill it with twice the amount of water for a soak. The water bill is also very expensive."

Dog?

As soon as the words were spoken, the group of people who had been extremely tense just moments before were instantly stunned.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

So... they're overthinking it?

After realizing they had misunderstood, they both looked somewhat embarrassed.

Yu Chen suddenly chuckled softly.

Seeing this, Su Wuli frowned and seriously calculated the bill. "Don't laugh, you need to eat several bowls of rice in one meal..."

She stopped abruptly as she was counting on her fingers, forgetting what she was going to say.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then waved his hand, "Anyway, it's very expensive."

After she finished speaking, she picked up her wine glass and took another big gulp.

Chuhe lifted her face from her sleeve and glanced at Qiaosheng. Qiaosheng also glanced at her. Their eyes met, then quickly looked away.

Su Wuli picked up a grape from the plate and ate it herself, then picked up another and offered it to Yu Chen's lips.

"Eat," she said, adding a recommendation, "This is sweet, you should try it."

Yu Chen opened his mouth and ate.

Is it sweet?

"sweet."

Satisfied with the answer, she reached out and touched his hair again.

This time the touch was very gentle, it really felt like petting a well-behaved big dog.

Then she started calculating again, "Wen Yan used to have a puppy, a little bigger than a cat. Bathing it was cheap, drying its fur was quick, and walking it was effortless."

She glanced at Yu Chen's body and complained, "Unlike you, I can barely walk you..."

She suddenly laughed as she said this, her lips curving into a wide smile, "No, you can carry me on your back... That would be good too, it would save on taxi fare."

Yu Chen looked at the corners of her mouth curving up and reached out to wipe away the crumbs of jujube paste that were stuck to the corners of her mouth.

Su Wuli grabbed his finger to prevent him from pulling it back.

Then I turned his hand over to look at the palm, and then turned it over to look at the back of his hand.

"Your hands are so big," she said, yawning, her eyes welling up with tears.

She then released his hand and patted the spot next to her.

"Sit closer, don't sit so far away."

Yu Chen didn't say anything, but moved a little closer to her.

As soon as she got close to Su Wuli, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her face against his shoulder, and said indistinctly, "So warm."

Qiaosheng and Chuhe exchanged a glance.

Is this something they can see?

Su Wuli suddenly lifted her head from his shoulder, staring wide-eyed at Yu Chen's face.

His pupils were unfocused, but his expression was very serious.

It seems like they're confirming something very important.

Then he raised his hand, spread his fingers, and slapped Yu Chen across the face.

Snapped.

The sound was crisp, exploding out of the quiet riverbank.

The crisp sound was drowned out by the sound of flowing water in the night breeze.

Chuhe was so startled that she dropped the handkerchief in her hand.

It was blown by the wind and drifted to the stream where it got stuck.

Qiaosheng was even more shocked.

Feng Xi was completely stunned.

The wine glass in my hand tilted, and the wine spilled from the rim and dripped down my fingers.

Shadow Falcon also showed some difficulty on its face.

Chuhe's knees buckled under the strain, and only one thought occupied her mind.

It’s over.
