Chapter 159 This is still okay
Nanny Wang stopped and looked at Dingdang.
"Also, this matter must not be spread out, in case those gossipers hear it.
Who knows what gossip might spread, damaging the reputation of the prince and princess."
Nanny Wang was worried and her expression was full of anxiety.
"No, no, I'd better stay here guarding the door, so I can feel at ease."
As she spoke, Nanny Wang and several maids stood at the door, watching the movements in the house with nervous expressions.
This stop lasted until noon.
"Someone is coming."
The prince's voice came from the bedroom.
Nanny Wang waved her hand and walked into the palace with a few maids.
Chu Musheng had already walked out of the dormitory dressed neatly.
"Prepare water and wait for the princess to bathe."
With that, he strode to the front yard.
Nanny Wang quickly agreed and told the maids to prepare hot water.
After a while, the hot water was ready and the maids carefully helped the princess take a bath.
Xu Ke was soaking in the warm water, with a shy blush on her face.
Nanny Wang waited attentively on the side and said softly:
"Princess, you and the prince are deeply in love, and I am happy to see it. But you must take care of your body."
Xu Keke nodded slightly.
"Mammy, I know you're doing this for my own good. I'll be careful."
After bathing, Xu Ke changed into a refreshing palace dress and wrapped herself in a mink cloak, which was both elegant and warm and comfortable.
At this time, Chu Musheng was discussing matters with his subordinates in the front yard.
After finishing the work, he hurried back to the backyard.
When he saw Xu Keke, Chu Musheng immediately smiled brightly and walked over to hold her hand.
"My dear, are you feeling better?"
Xu Keke gave him a reproachful look and said with a pout.
"I feel terrible, I'm extremely hungry!"
"It's my fault. I'm sorry for delaying my beloved concubine's lunch. I will take her to lunch right away."
As he said that, Chu Musheng supported Xu Ke and walked towards the dining hall.
The dining room was already filled with a wide variety of delicious dishes.
When Xu Ke saw the table full of delicious food, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Chu Musheng considerately pulled out a chair for Xu Keke, and only sat down next to her after she sat down.
"My dear, please try these, they are all your favorites."
Chu Musheng picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into Xu Keke's bowl.
Xu Keke took a bite and said with satisfaction.
"Mm, it's delicious. The food in the mansion is more to my taste. I didn't eat much at the palace banquet last time."
Chu Musheng watched her eat happily and his appetite also whetted.
"My beloved concubine, if it is not necessary, you do not need to go to the palace for social events. I cannot let my child starve."
Xu Ke nodded.
"Your Highness, I don't want to go either. Your Highness is away, and it's also a large palace banquet at the end of the year. One of our masters has to go, right?"
Chu Musheng lovingly wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth and said with a smile.
"Well, now that the prince is back, I won't bother you with helping me maintain my appearance. Just enjoy yourself."
"Hahaha, happy!"
Xu Ke grinned.
The two of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
......
At the end of the meal.
A guard hurried in and knelt down to salute.
"Your Majesty, Princess Rui is outside the palace gate and wants to see her."
Chu Musheng and Xu Ke looked at each other.
"I heard that my beloved concubine has been getting close to Princess Rui these days?"
"Is there anything else that Your Majesty doesn't know?"
Xu Keke put down the chopsticks in her hand, stretched out her hand and acted coquettishly.
"My Lord, please help me wipe it."
Chu Musheng took the cotton towel on the table and carefully wiped her delicate hands.
"My beloved concubine, please go meet Princess Rui! If she asks about Prince Rui, tell her that Prince Rui is fine, he just lost his left hand."
"What?"
Xu Keke's eyes widened.
"Missing a left hand? You call that okay?"
Chu Musheng gently patted Xu Keke's back to calm her excitement.
"Don't be afraid, my beloved. Prince Rui fought on the battlefield and chopped off the head of General Murong of the Northern Di Kingdom at the cost of his left hand. This is a great achievement."
Chu Musheng thought about it and said again.
"Let's keep this a secret from Princess Rui for now, to prevent her from worrying too much. When you see Princess Rui, just tell her that Prince Rui is well."
Xu Ke nodded blankly and touched Chu Musheng up and down.
"what?"
Chu Musheng felt a little itchy when she touched him, and asked with a smile.
"I need to check if the prince is injured."
Chu Musheng held her in his arms and whispered.
"How could the princess not know whether the prince was injured? Just now in the bedroom, my beloved concubine hadn't seen enough?"
Xu Keke pushed him away, adjusted her mink cloak, and spoke seriously.
"I know what to say, Your Majesty, don't worry."
After saying that, he stood up and, accompanied by Dingdang Anxiang, went to the main hall of the palace to wait for Princess Rui.
When Princess Rui saw Xu Keke, her face was full of smiles.
"Sister Concubine Sheng, the army will return to the capital tomorrow, and I'd like to invite you to go with me to welcome them.
Considering that my sister is pregnant and it is not convenient for her to go to crowded places, I have booked a private room in the restaurant.
Then we will be able to see the prince and his men riding by."
Seeing Princess Rui’s happy face.
I wonder if she would be sad to know that Prince Rui was injured on the battlefield.
Thinking of this, Xu Ke couldn't help but feel sorry for Princess Rui and couldn't bear to refuse.
Xu Keke took her hand and nodded in agreement.
"Since Sister Ruifei has invited me, I will naturally follow her. I will go with her tomorrow!"
The two sat down on the armchair and talked about tomorrow's arrangements.
Princess Rui left with great joy in her heart.
After seeing Princess Rui off, Xu Ke returned to Jinyun Palace and told Chu Musheng about his conversation with Princess Rui.
Chu Musheng hugged her.
"My beloved concubine, you have done well. Tomorrow, you will come to the restaurant to watch me lead my troops back to the capital!"
Forehead...?
Xu Ke looked at Chu Musheng in confusion.
"Your Highness, you're back, aren't you? Aren't I supposed to accompany Princess Rui to visit Prince Rui tomorrow?"
Chu Musheng scratched her nose lightly.
"What are you looking at, Prince Rui? My princess can only look at me.
In order to keep my beloved concubine's sight tomorrow, I have to leave the city tonight to meet up with the soldiers.
My beloved, do you want to see me in my royal robes or in my armor?"
Xu Ke stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
"No matter what clothes Your Highness wears, in my heart, Your Highness is always the most handsome and majestic."
Chu Musheng laughed heartily, feeling very happy.
"My beloved, your words are getting sweeter and sweeter. Then I will wear armor and dress like those soldiers, so that my beloved can see my heroic appearance."
"Alright, when will the prince leave the city to join the soldiers?"
Xu Ke asked, tilting his head.
Chu Musheng took her hand and walked towards the dormitory.
"I have been busy all day, so I will rest for a few hours. In the evening, I will accompany my beloved concubine to the city to watch the lantern festival. I will leave the city after my beloved concubine goes to bed."
