Chapter 353 - 338: Second Update
Nian Xia served up pastries and hot floral tea while Zheng Nianru dozed off, warmed by the gentle breeze.
Cang Er slipped quietly into the pavilion and whispered something into Zheng Haoyuan’s ear. Zheng Haoyuan rolled his eyes in response, showing no interest in leaving.
Nowhere was as comfortable as being beside his cousin.
Cang Er grew somewhat anxious, for people from the palace were waiting outside.
"Your Highness, the Prince has returned. Should he see the people outside, it could be troublesome," Cang Er murmured, careful not to awaken the Commandery Princess, ensuring only he and the Fourth Prince could hear him.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Haoyuan reluctantly got up. Noticing Zheng Nianru was almost asleep, he gave a cold glance at the youth still gently massaging and sneered inwardly, You’re lucky.
As Zheng Haoyuan left, he specifically visited the study, cleverly waiting inside.
"Fu Gong, this Prince acknowledges your feelings. Seeing you and her cousin get along so well pleases me. Now that the danger has passed, there’s no need for self-blame," Zheng Boding said, glancing at the inkstone Zheng Haoyuan had brought in, his anger seemingly lessening with each look.
"Imperial Uncle, I only did what I should," replied Zheng Haoyuan obediently.
Prince Duan impatiently said a few words. Preoccupied, he let Zheng Haoyuan leave. Zheng Haoyuan breathed a sigh of relief; this was the first time the Prince had seen him playing with his cousin and hadn’t been so angry, which naturally pleased him greatly.
"What is the Commandery Princess doing?" Zheng Boding still felt uneasy.
