391: No need to eavesdrop, that would be too formal.

Although the two of them didn't want to stay, they didn't dare disobey Duan Zhengchun's command.

Helplessly, they followed closely to the door. The maid opened it, and a faint floral fragrance immediately wafted out.

The two took a deep breath and stepped inside together; as soon as they entered, the door closed silently.

At this moment, they finally saw the situation inside clearly. Instantly, their pretty faces turned so red they looked like they could drip blood.

"Your Highness, please calm your anger, we..."

Ying Man didn't know how to explain for a moment. Could she say it was because the noise the two of them made was too loud, and they only came after hearing the sound?

How could she, a Princess, say such things?

Princess also didn't know how to speak; such matters were hard for them to mention.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Duan Zhengchun stood up and approached them, his tone full of tenderness.

He naturally knew why the two of them had come here.

However, such things couldn't be said explicitly.

Their reaction made him find it very interesting; he always wanted to see how far they could go.

"That, no, Your Highness, Sister Man and I were just wandering around out of boredom and accidentally came to the backyard, disturbing Your Highness's rest. Please forgive us, Your Highness." Princess hastily found an excuse.

Only, while saying these excuses, her heart raced, her face flushed, and her head was buried in her chest, not daring to meet Duan Zhengchun's gaze.

"Oh... so you accidentally came to this backyard. But you've disturbed this Prince's mood. Tell me, how should I punish you?" Duan Zhengchun looked at the two with a mischievous smile.

"Ah? Punishment? Your Highness, we... we didn't know this was where the Third Madam and you were resting."

"Can you spare us this once, considering it's our first offense and we don't understand the situation in the Prince's Mansion?" Princess looked up at Duan Zhengchun in panic.

With this look up, Duan Zhengchun's eyes immediately lit up.

Tsk tsk, as expected of the Great Tang's first Princess, she really is beautiful with a great figure. It's just that she's a bit small; if she were larger, it would be perfect.

His task was arduous, but there was plenty of time; the little girl would still grow.

"Changle, you're overreacting. You are already my wives now; there's no such thing as a disturbance."

"Anyway, you'll have to experience such things sooner or later. Just now, I was also discussing with Hongmian when to hold the wedding again to marry Ying Man and Changle into the family."

"It's also to give you an official status," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"Ah? This... Your Highness was discussing this with the Third Madam just now? But, why would..."

Just as Princess said this, she realized something was wrong and quickly shut her mouth, her face blushing.

Ying Man's face was rosy, her eyes flickering with a mysterious light, and her gaze seemed to brim with moisture when she looked at Duan Zhengchun.

"Why would what? Could it be that you two were eavesdropping outside just now?"

"That's not a good habit. If you're curious, you can just come straight in."

"If there's anything you don't understand, this Prince can personally teach you."

"Or you can have Hongmian pass on her experience. There's no need to eavesdrop outside like this; it's too formal," Duan Zhengchun said with a mischievous smile.

"Oh, Your Highness... you, how can you be like this..." Princess's face was flushed, her embarrassment so great she could have dug out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes.

"Alright, I'm done teasing you. I still have things to do, so you two chat." After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he left the room directly.

This time, it was Ying Man and Princess's turn to be stunned. They had originally thought they would be taken by Duan Zhengchun next.

Unexpectedly, it ended like this.

They glanced at each other, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.

"Sister Man, what's going on? What's with the Prince? Why did he suddenly leave?" Princess looked at Ying Man in confusion.

"What? Do you really want the Prince to do something to you?" Ying Man gave Princess a frustrated look.

"I don't, I'm just confused. Given the Prince's character, seeing two beauties like us in such a setting, how could he not do anything?" Princess said stubbornly.

"What you say makes some sense, but it's not absolute."

"Rumor has it that the Prince is very good to his women; he didn't touch us out of respect."

"Of course, those who offend him won't have a good end, so it's normal that he didn't lay a hand on us today," Ying Man said after some thought.

"Hmm, what you say makes sense. The Prince is indeed different from other men," Princess nodded.

Their conversation made the already asleep Qin Hongmian open her eyes. Seeing the two of them appear, she was very confused.

"Oh, sisters, when did you arrive? Why isn't the Prince here?"

The sudden voice startled Ying Man and Princess, and they looked at Qin Hongmian nervously.

"Ah, Third Madam, you're awake. Sorry for disturbing your rest. We'll be leaving now and won't bother you anymore," Princess quickly explained.

"Hey... don't go. Did you come for something?" Qin Hongmian called out to them in confusion.

"That, Third Madam, it's really nothing. We're leaving now."

Ying Man didn't dare stay either. How could she ask such a question? She quickly left Qin Hongmian's room with Princess.

This scene left Qin Hongmian with a face full of question marks, not knowing what had happened.

After waking up, Duan Zhengchun wasn't there, yet Ying Man and Princess were by her side; the whole thing was strange.

"Someone come..."

Qin Hongmian called out, and the maid guarding the door walked in quickly.

"Madam..."

"What exactly happened just now?" Qin Hongmian asked with a frown.

"It went like this..."

The maid recounted what had happened, and Qin Hongmian was completely stunned.

She hadn't expected so many things to have happened just now.

No wonder Ying Man and Princess fled in such a panic. It was normal for these two inexperienced girls to feel shy when encountering such a thing.

"The Prince really is something, teasing young girls like that," Qin Hongmian shook her head helplessly.

When Duan Zhengchun arrived at the main hall, he saw a figure dressed in white, holding a folding fan and standing there.

"Shangguan Haitang greets Your Highness." Seeing Duan Zhengchun, Shangguan Haitang quickly bowed.

"Miss Haitang, are you here to fulfill your promise?" Duan Zhengchun went straight to the point.

Hearing Duan Zhengchun say this, her pretty face immediately turned red. Although she already knew the purpose of this visit, being told so directly still made her feel a bit shy.

"That's right, Haitang keeps her word. I am here to fulfill the original promise," Shangguan Haitang nodded with a blushing face.

"In that case, wait a while. I still have some things to deal with during this time."

"After this period, I will hold another collective wedding," Duan Zhengchun nodded.

Shangguan Haitang was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected Duan Zhengchun to hold another collective wedding. Did this mean he wanted to marry her properly?"}],
