Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

Chapter 216 Harem Allies

Late at night, Wen Jiu couldn't sleep, so he whispered, "Sister, you come to take care of me at night. Don't you look like the Snail Girl you told me about?"

"No." Qiao Shinian pulled the quilt. Although the mattress under him was very thick, the floor was still a little cold in winter.

"Okay." Wen Jiu didn't care. He turned his head to look at Qiao Shinian, "Sister, why don't you sleep upstairs? I think the ground is quite cold."

"There are differences between men and women, do you understand? You are so old now, it is not appropriate to sleep with you anymore."

Hearing her words, Wen Jiu muttered, "Then why do you always say that I am a child?"

"What can I say? The child has grown up, and it's time to avoid suspicion. But in my eyes, you will always be a child. My eldest sister is like a mother. In other words, I can also be your mother."

"It's boring. Let's stop chatting. I'm sleepy." Wen Jiu turned his head away.

You will always be a child!

An elder sister is like a mother. I am your mother.

These two sentences appeared repeatedly in Wen Jiu's dreams, causing him to spend the whole night in nightmares.

Today is a rare good day. Wen Jiu lay on the bed and watched Qiao Shinian holding several gifts for him to choose from.

The heavy dark clouds dispersed a lot, allowing the sun to shine down and warm the capital city of Chu Wen.

After choosing one of the gifts, Wen Jiu thought for a moment and said, "There should be many people going to Shunpin's place today. Sister, let's go the day after tomorrow."

"what happened?"

"Can you handle meeting other people?" Wen Jiu asked seriously.

Qiao Shinian shook his head.

"Then I'll pack it up first and take it with me the day after tomorrow." Qiao Shinian thought for a moment and looked at the gifts on the table. "Why are there only children's gifts? Shunpin had a hard time giving birth to a child. Do you have any supplements here? Let me take some."

"I just returned to Beijing, and it's already very good to be able to take out such a jade pendant." Wen Jiu looked at the jade pendant in Qiao Shinian's hand and pouted: "This was originally reserved for you, but you want to give it away."

Qiao Shinian shrugged, "I can't help it. The other gifts are too shabby to be presented. Only this jade pendant, the pair of gold bowls inlaid with gemstones, and the carved ivory chopsticks are presentable."

"Your Highness, Miss, Concubine Rong is here to visit your Highness's injuries." Chunxue's voice came from outside the door.

Qiao Shinian and Wen Jiu looked at each other. Qiao Shinian picked up the things on the table and quickly stuffed them into the box next to Wen Jiu. Then he tiptoed and hid behind the bed.

"Let her in." Wen Jiu adjusted his expression and acted weak.

After not seeing her for a few years, the timid and cowardly princess is now very different from before. Her eyes are less timid and more profound, and she looks a lot more mature.

Judging from her clothes, she should be living a good life in this harem.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, for not getting up to greet you." Wen Jiu looked up at Mu Rong.

Mu Rong had no expression on her face. She took two steps forward and squatted in front of Wen Jiu, asking doubtfully, "Is the injury really serious?"

"That's right, it's a pity that I can't show you, the guard was very cruel." Wen Jiu turned his head to look at his back which was pressed by the quilt. It seemed that the wound was pulled, and he couldn't help but take a breath.

Mu Rong nodded, with some worry in her eyes, and then she said something that made Wen Jiu dare not breathe: "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought about it and decided to tell you that I have always been fond of you. After you killed that man for me, I will be devoted to you forever."

"Fuck! If you don't want to live, don't drag me down with you!" After several seconds, Wen Jiu widened his eyes and looked at Mu Rong, who was standing nearby with eyes full of affection.

The time spent on seeing and hearing the story was not in vain. The deep affection in Mu Rong's eyes became even stronger: "Your Highness, don't you believe what I say? You and I are of the same age. If possible, I would rather be your concubine."

"Don't mess with me!"

Wen Jiu almost jumped up. He stretched his head to look outside. Mu Rong stood up and covered her face as if she was about to cry. As a result, Wen Jiu saw her smiling with curved eyebrows.

"Are you sick? You scared me!" Wen Jiu lowered his head and said in a low voice.

However, he secretly looked behind him, wondering if Qiao Shinian had heard him, or if she had misunderstood him.

He would never have any affair with other women.

Those women were not his type.

"When I first saw His Highness, he looked like a dying sea fish. I was really not used to it. But now this is the His Highness I know. Moreover, if those guards had really been ruthless, His Highness would definitely not have been helped back that day." Mu Rong sat on a chair beside him.

She has curved eyebrows and eyes, and her whole person is lively and vivid.

"Besides, those guarding outside are all His Highness's men. Your Highness...what are you afraid of?" Mu Rong seemed to have thought of something interesting, and couldn't help but look at Wen Jiu a few more times: "Your Highness has a nice appearance, but how could Mu Siyao, who is so noble, fall in love with Your Highness just because of a good-looking appearance?"

"You know all this?" Wen Jiu did not deny it. He said cheerfully, "This prince is handsome and elegant. There is no shortage of people who like this prince, but... this prince is not interested in her."

"Your Highness must continue to live well like this. I will abide by the agreement between us." Mu Rong suddenly changed the subject. "After coming here, I have to go to His Majesty to inform His Majesty of your situation."

"It seems that you are living well in this harem." Wen Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at the clothes on Mu Rong. Not every noble concubine has this brocade.

Mu Rong turned around and said, "Does it look good? Your father gave it to me years ago."

"I thought you would have a hard time. It seems I underestimated you. But your personality now is very different from before. Is there a reason?"

"It's a day whether I'm happy or not. I'm the emperor's concubine, a princess from another country, so naturally I have to have some tricks to win his favor. For example, in this lifeless harem, I'm open-minded, optimistic, and always lively. I know how to act like a daughter to your father, and I never ask about other things. I only care about whether he is in good health."

Mu Rong couldn't help laughing when she said this: "I work so hard and care about him so much, like a subordinate trying to curry favor with his boss, like a daughter caring about her father, like a young girl looking at her lover. If he doesn't treat me well, it must be because I didn't do well enough."

"Okay, you're awesome." Wen Jiu was speechless.

"But don't worry, Your Highness. We are allies. I will be a useful concubine to you, such as... occasionally whispering in your ear." After saying this, Mu Rong turned around and left: "Your Highness, have a good rest. I won't disturb you."

After Mu Rong left, Qiao Shinian walked out from behind the curtain with a look of admiration on her face: "Oh my God, what a hard-working woman! She deserves to succeed."

"Sister, what did you hear in the back just now?"

Wen Jiu asked cautiously.

Qiao Shinian immediately changed her expression and squatted in front of Wen Jiu affectionately: "Your Highness~, in fact, I have always been fond of Your Highness~!"

She acted exaggeratedly.

"Me too." Wen Jiu had a smile on his face and an indescribable affection in his eyes.

Qiao Shinian was stunned. She covered her mouth and stared at Wen Jiu with wide eyes. After a long while, she asked, "Is it true?"

"Really, I won't lie to you, sister." Wen Jiu still looked gentle.

"Oh my God! You two! What are you two doing..." Qiao Shinian didn't even say the following sentence 'poor-fated couple'.

Combined with Wen Jiu’s previous statement that he already has someone he likes, this amount of information is quite a lot.
