Ms. Doctor Divine

It was the main hall of Ronghua Palace, where Honored Princess Jing lived. The Crown Prince was back so she should not be the main focus. She had intended to let the mother and son talk before saying something, but the Crown Prince seemed to be so obsessed with her that he only had eyes for her.

Gu Ruxue was chuckling inwardly. “I miss you too, Crown Prince.”

Zhou Huailing tightened his arms. In his opinion, he was not holding the Crown Prince Consort, but the Phoenix Girl, someone who was going to help him to reach the throne and dominate the whole world. Of course he would like her that much.

Also, he felt assured when she was in his arms. He felt as if he was holding his future and the whole world within his arms.

Naturally, he ignored Honored Princess Jing at the moment.

Honored Princess Jing was really irritated.

She had no idea about the door to enchantment and the appearance of the Phoenix Girl, that was why she did not understand why her son ignored her and only paid his attention to a woman.

She was really displeased.

Her son was born and grew up in the imperial court, and she had spent so much effort in raising him.

However… now he ignored her directly but focused only on a woman.

She always felt that the Crown Prince Consort was not elegant and was overly-dressed all the time, but due to her identity as the Phoenix Girl, she never said a bad thing against her. However, she felt quite uncomfortable right now.

Instead of throwing her temper, she said stiffly, “You have time to talk with each other when you return to the mansion later. Crown Prince, you need to have your injuries checked on by the imperial doctor.”

Only then did Zhou Huailing release Gu Ruxue.

They were alone at Ronghua Palace… so Zhou Huailing said without consideration, “It is fine, mother, those are just fake wounds. If an imperial doctor comes to check on me, it would be very difficult to explain clearly.”

“…”

“People from the North Qi were very invasive. I can’t just guard Feng County, but I was at the border so I needed to be injured so that I would be able to convince my father, thus getting those places wrapped up. I am not wounded, mother, don’t worry.”

Having said this, Zhou Huailing lost his patience to remain in the court. He was only thinking about fathering a child.

So he said straightforwardly, “Mother, please work more on father.”

“…”

“Me and Ruxue haven’t seen each other for a long while, and I need to speak with her at the mansion,” Zhou Huailing said cheerfully.

Having said that, he greeted his mother with Gu Ruxue, then he hurried off, looking really anxious.

Gu Ruxue felt quite excited as well and followed him. She knew what the Crown Prince needed. When the Crown Prince spent so much time at the border, she felt quite lonely as well. She wasn’t so happy about it.

Both of them were in a very good mood, but Honored Princess Jing stood on the spot with a sunken expression, watching the couple leave.

“Ling has always been the most polite towards the senior people in the court, and he would always come to me and exchange a few words with me whenever he is in the court…”
