Jiang Ning slightly bent her knee to Li Hongyuan, performing a palace courtesy, and said with a smile, "Your Highness is busy, I'll leave now."
"What are you going back for?"
"To have lunch with the children."
"I'll go too."
"Then you should go."
Jiang Ning extended her hand, and Xiachu and Gufeng both rushed to assist her. Xiachu glared at Gufeng and whispered to him to go away, criticising him for being lacking perception, and then pushed him aside.
Even though he dressed like a woman, he was, after all, a man. It was fine on normal occasions, but with the Crown Prince here, was he not courting trouble by doing this?
Eunuchs could serve their female masters closely because they were not considered real men. Was Gufeng also hoping to be castrated?
Gufeng obediently withdrew, conceding his position to the Crown Prince.
Li Hongyuan and Jiang Ning walked side by side a few steps, and Jiang Ning suddenly let out a gasp.
