After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 235: The New Cloak

"But..." Wanxia was still somewhat unwilling.

Seeing that she was still sulking, Wanqi chuckled softly.

"What are you angry about? Those two girls have learned their lesson. They'll probably have a hard time finding work in the future."

Wanxia snorted coldly: "If it weren't for His Highness's kindness to the Princess Consort, who knows how many people would not take her seriously."

This time, Wanqi stopped trying to persuade her. Indeed, what she said was true.

Meanwhile, in the room, Li Jingyang tiptoed, preparing to stand up.

But as soon as the man's gentle breath left, the person on the bed seemed to sense it and trembled.

The next moment, she opened her eyes sleepily and asked in a daze, "Your Highness, why didn't you wake me up?"

Li Jingyang gently pinched the tip of her nose and said softly, "Seeing you sleeping so soundly, how could I bear to wake you up?"

A hint of a smile lingered in his eyes as he slowly lowered his head, his face full of tenderness.

Lin Rusi looked a little embarrassed and turned her head slightly to avoid his gaze.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Li Jingyang chuckled, seemingly oblivious to her shyness.

Being stared at like that, Lin Rusi had no desire to sleep, so she sat up.

"Would Your Highness be willing to accompany me for a walk?" Lin Rusi asked with a gentle smile.

The man nodded and stretched out his large hand towards her, his palm facing upwards, covered with a thin layer of calluses.

Lin Rusi placed her hand on it, and the warm touch made her heart tremble involuntarily, with a slight flutter of excitement.

"Let's go."

The two linked arms and went out together.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qing, the gatekeeper, was about to follow.

Seeing that Ye Qing was walking quickly and was almost right behind them, Wanxia and Wanqi reached out at the same time and pulled him back sharply.

"Ye Qing! You idiot, what are you doing following them?"

Ye Qing turned around, puzzled: "When Your Highness and the Princess Consort go out, of course I have to follow and protect them."

"You really are an idiot! This is the Jinglie Prince's Mansion, why do we need your protection?!" Wanxia frowned and retorted without any politeness.

"I..." Ye Qing wanted to say something, but he met Wanxia's unbelievably beautiful eyes.

The anger subsided instantly, and he couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.

When Wanxia saw that he didn't speak, she naturally felt that he was guilty and felt smug.

"In short, just come with us and don't disturb His Highness and the Princess."

Wanxia's two sentences actually made Ye Qing obediently follow behind.

Sensing the atmosphere between the two, Wanqi stared at them for a moment, then chuckled.

As expected, two people who are both oblivious to everything are not a good match.

The three followed behind, keeping pace with each other.

Lin Rusi, who was walking ahead, suddenly heard a noisy commotion in the outer courtyard and turned her head to look in confusion.

The butler was coming towards us.

Lin Rusi paused for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Butler, why is the courtyard unusually noisy today?"

“Your Highness, it is…” The steward looked up with some difficulty, unsure whether he should say it or not.

"Speak!" Li Jingyang sensed something was wrong and reprimanded him sternly.

The steward quickly straightened his back and explained, "There were two maids who said some things they shouldn't have said, gossiping about the Princess behind her back, so I kicked them both out of the manor."

Immediately, Li Jingyang's face turned ashen: "It seems that the management of this Prince's Mansion is only so-so."

The butler panicked and immediately knelt down, saying, "I will definitely keep a close watch on him."

"Never mind, Your Highness, it's nothing, let it go."

Lin Rusi stopped Li Jingyang, her eyes gentle and tender.

Seeing this, the man sighed silently.

"Fine, since Sisi doesn't mind, I won't mind either."

He looked down at Lin Rusi, the fierceness in his eyes disappearing and becoming gentler.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he actually had no intention of letting the two maids who were gossiping about their master get away with it.

Having been together for so long, Lin Rusi naturally knew Li Jingyang's temper, so she frowned and tried to distract him.

"Your Highness's clothes today match mine perfectly. Could it be that we are telepathically connected?"

Only then did Li Jingyang realize that Lin Rusi was wearing a light blue long dress today.

The man himself was also wearing blue clothes today.

Lin Rusi spoke gently, and immediately added, "Indeed, Your Highness and I are a perfect match."

"Yes, Sisi and I are on the same wavelength."

Li Jingyang gently stroked Lin Rusi's hand and spoke softly.

But halfway through his sentence, he noticed that the person in front of him was dressed very thinly.

His brows furrowed immediately. He glanced around and saw several people following not far behind. He then said, "Wanxia, ​​Wanqi, go and fetch the cloak for the Princess."

The man's face darkened, and his eyes showed displeasure: "Why are you dressed so lightly? It's gotten colder these past two days, why didn't you wear more?"

His voice wasn't stern, but the worry on his face was unmistakable.

Lin Rusi felt a warmth in her heart: "I'm not cold. The temperature has dropped these past two days, but it's not too cold yet."

Seeing this, the man looked displeased. Soon, Wanqi quickly brought over a cloak.

Li Jingyang gently covered her with a cloak: "I'm afraid you'll get sick."

As he spoke, he held Lin Rusi's hand tightly: "Let's go, I'll have someone prepare some ginger soup after we walk a little further."

Li Jingyang was just too gentle, and Lin Rusi probably felt guilty, so she stopped talking.

She subconsciously pulled her cloak tighter around herself, a smile playing on her lips.

At this moment, Lin Rusi also noticed that the cloak was embroidered with gold thread, and the fur on it was soft and felt exceptionally comfortable to the touch.

She glanced down and stared in surprise: "Your Highness, are these new clothes? Where did they come from?"

Li Jingyang also looked over with a smile, his eyes full of doting affection.

"The tributes to the palace are newly arrived," Li Jingyang said casually, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"Tribute from the palace? How did it end up with you?" Lin Rusi was genuinely curious and couldn't help but ask another question.

"The Emperor saw that I liked it, so he gave it to me." The man didn't say much, clearly not taking it to heart.

Lin Rusi was taken aback, and kept stroking the cloak with her hands.

Although she couldn't see the embroidery on the back, Lin Rusi could tell that the workmanship was definitely not bad.

Overjoyed, she twirled around in front of the man.

"Do I look good in this?"

Her eyes sparkled as she spoke, prompting Li Jingyang to nod emphatically, his gaze fixed on her for a moment.

"She's beautiful. Sisi is probably the most beautiful girl in the world."

But Lin Rusi didn't speak at this moment, her mind filled with memories.

To be honest, Lin Rusi only remembered seeing this cloak somewhere a moment ago.

She had seen it at Li Zeyan's place in her previous life, but the cloak was not meant for her.

Does Li Zeyan have one?

For a moment, Lin Rusi was overcome with emotion and asked curiously.

These words made Li Jingyang's expression stiffen slightly, and he frowned in confusion.

“Sisi, this cloak is one of a kind; only you have it.” Li Jingyang stared intently at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression.
