ASTRP -Chapter 175 The Prince Teases Feng Jingge

Feng Jingge spoke calmly, “The poison has already been neutralized. There’s no problem anymore.”

“As for the headache…”

She paused slightly. “Observe whether she still has pain tonight. If she does, send her to the Regent Prince Manor.”

Xiao Jinghan asked, “Finished?”

Feng Jingge nodded. “Mm, finished.”

“Let’s go back.”

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Jinghan carried Feng Jingge away in a flash. Qing Shan quickly followed behind.

Prince Yu finally snapped back to reality. He was just about to say that since they were all going to the Wang Manor anyway, they might as well bring Xi Liyue over now.

But when he looked up again, there was no sign of the imperial uncle and aunt.

They were already gone.

Gone so fast.

“Your Highness…”

Xi Liyue looked weakly at Prince Yu.

Prince Yu pressed his lips together. “Don’t speak for now. The imperial aunt said you need rest. I’ll help you back to rest.”

Xi Liyue’s head was pounding terribly, so she nodded. “Alright.”

Back at the Regent’s Manor, as soon as Feng Jingge’s feet touched the ground, she heard Xiao Jinghan’s domineering voice.

“Next time you go to Prince Yu Manor, inform me in advance.”

“If I’m not there, you are not allowed to go.”

Feng Jingge paused.

She looked up at him for a moment, then didn’t ask why. Instead, she simply agreed.

“Alright.”

Her lack of questioning made Xiao Jinghan frown.

“Logically speaking, shouldn’t you ask me why?”

“Why didn’t you ask?”

Feng Jingge glanced at him again and asked casually, “Why can’t I go to Prince Yu Manor alone?”

Xiao Jinghan: “…”

He reached out and pinched her slender waist lightly.

“Madam, don’t you think you’re being a little too perfunctory with this prince?”

Feng Jingge rolled her eyes dramatically.

“If I don’t ask, you say I don’t follow common sense.”

“If I do ask, you say I’m perfunctory.”

“Then tell me, Your Highness—how exactly should I answer so it’s both proper and not ‘perfunctory’?”

Xiao Jinghan’s hand on her waist tightened slightly.

“You should have asked when I first said it…”

Feng Jingge pouted. “I didn’t ask because I already know you have your reasons.”

“For example, Prince Yu might be untrustworthy, or he might try to scheme against us.”

Xiao Jinghan studied her for a moment.

Then he smiled faintly. “As expected of my wife. Smart.”

He lightly tapped her nose.

Feng Jingge lifted her chin proudly. “If I weren’t smart, how could I catch Your Highness’s eye?”

“You little clever thing.”

His eyes were full of indulgent affection.

Feng Jingge stuck out her tongue playfully and buried herself in his arms.

After holding her for a while, Xiao Jinghan said, “Come out with me. We need to see something outside.”

Feng Jingge blinked. “We just got back. Why are we going out again?”

Xiao Jinghan didn’t want to go either, but there were things he had to handle.

“Prince Chen is leaving the capital tomorrow.”

Feng Jingge hesitated. “So soon?”

“The court originally decided he would leave at the end of last month. Because of illness, it was delayed a few days to tomorrow.”

Feng Jingge nodded. “So we’re going to Prince Chen’s manor?”

“Yes.”

Soon after, they arrived at Prince Chen’s manor.

Everything inside had already been packed neatly, ready for departure the next day.

Prince Chen hurried out to greet them.

“Greetings, Imperial Uncle, Miss…”

He was about to say “Miss Feng,” but the Consort Chen nudged him.

He quickly corrected himself. “Ah—no, I should call you Imperial Aunt now.”

“Greetings, Imperial Uncle and Imperial Aunt.”

Xiao Jinghan’s eyes carried a faint smile as he glanced at Feng Jingge.

Then he leaned slightly toward her ear and teased in a low voice: “Greetings, Imperial Aunt~”

Feng Jingge: “…”

This man was actually teasing her?!

She secretly pinched his arm and forced a dry laugh, looking slightly embarrassed.

“Isn’t it a bit early to call me that?”

“After all, we aren’t officially married yet.”

Princess Consort Chen smiled behind her sleeve. “It’s not early at all. You’ll be married sooner or later.”

Prince Chen nodded. “Yes, sooner or later.”

Xiao Jinghan looked very satisfied with those words.

Feng Jingge was already about to tease him back, but the man suddenly wrapped an arm around her waist.

“Madam, I’ve already thought about our wedding ceremony. You just need to become my wife.”

Feng Jingge smiled helplessly. He was clearly doing this on purpose.

He must have seen through her thoughts.

Prince Chen quickly changed the topic. “Imperial Uncle, Imperial Aunt, don’t stand here. Please come inside.”

Xiao Jinghan replied, “No need. I’ve already reserved a private room at Zuifang Pavilion. We’ll go there.”

Zuifang Pavilion?

Prince Chen and his wife exchanged glances.

That was the most luxurious restaurant in the capital. The Imperial Uncle had actually booked a private room there…

Xiao Jinghan explained lightly, “You are leaving the capital tomorrow morning. This prince is treating you to a meal.”

They immediately understood.

Princess Consort Chen first thought of her children.

After some hesitation, she decided to stay at the manor to look after them and let Prince Chen go instead.

But before Prince Chen could speak, Feng Jingge interrupted.

“Why aren’t you going?”

Princess Consort Chen replied gently, “Replying to Imperial Aunt, the children—”

Xiao Jinghan cut her off. “Bring them along.”

Everyone froze.

He added calmly, “I’ve already reserved seats for them too.”

Princess Consort Chen’s eyes lit up with joy, but then dimmed again.

“But… they’re very lively. I’m afraid they might disturb—”

Xiao Jinghan’s gaze turned slightly cold.

He had already accounted for that. Even Xu Shu, that troublesome kid, he could tolerate.

Were those children more troublesome than him?

If not, then there was no reason not to bring them.

And if they still refused…

That would be truly disrespecting his arrangement.
