"Where is the Princess consort?", Long Jie asked the maids. He is standing outside Li Xi Rui's room.

"Answering the Prince, Princess is getting ready. Um... why don't prince sit first?", the maid tried to hold on to Long Jie's sleeve. But before she could touch the garment, Long Jie already waves his hand away.

"It's best to not be too greedy. If someone is trying to be smart, even if it is someone from the empress, then this Prince won't show any mercy", said Long Jie in a harsh tone.

The hand that was going to touch him, trembled away. The maid just stand there while looking up to Long Jie's face. Her eyes filled with tears and indignation. She had known that the Prince hated to be touched. But then why was he being so considerate to Li Xi Rui? The Li Xi Rui who is hated by everyone.

The other maid who had seen this feels sorry for her. They knew how much their friend loves the prince. But even if she had been bestowed by the empress, the Prince had never look at her. Now, the Second Prince has a Princess Consort, so her position would fall lower and will end up be forgotten. They understood her plight, but they couldn't fully sided with her.

Seeing their friend stand in front the Prince without moving, they hurriedly pull her away. "These maids will withdraw", they said as they disappear between the wall.

Long Jie didn't even look at the maids. Before he could order his shadow guards, a feminine voice attract his attention away, "Greeting my Prince. Have you been waiting for a long time?".

Watching his consort, Long Jie had wanted to smile. 'Stunning!', he thought. "Not at all. You look different today", he inquiry.

"Oh... how so?", Xi Rui teased.

What should he say? Beautiful? Charming? She is beautiful and stunning everyday. "Like a flower", Long Jie replied.

"Flower huh?", the smile on Xi Rui's lips tightened. She hated to be compared with a flower. In her previous life, Long Qing had uttered, "In a field of flower, you will still be the most enchanting". Lies! As she holds on to her slipping composure, she shots him another smile. She knows, it was not his fault, so she shouldn't impose the blame on Long Jie. "Let's go. It wouldn't be good to be late", as Xi Rui took his hand.

Looking at their tangled hands, Long Jie let her pulled him to the carriage. He saw what she had been hiding. The stiffened smile. He wondered what has been going on in her mind. Had he said something that he shouldn't have said? Somehow he is afraid to ask. So he let the question die away at the back of his mind.

In the carriage~

"Um... I could sit by myself Jie", said Xi Rui. After she knew that she must refrain from any sexual activities, she had wanted to stop provoking Long Jie. But before she could sit down beside him, Long Jie already pull her to sit on his lap.

"Why? For the past few days wasn't Xi-er already get used to sit here? So, why should today be any different?", asked Long Jie. For the past few days, Xi Rui had been provoking him, after he knew that the day of torture nearly over, he had plan to enjoy the seduction from his wife.

"That was... my mistake. Anyway we can't", said Xi Rui.

"Only for 4 days. After that, you cannot escape!", said Long Jie. His hand caressing her thighs while he snuggled on her neck.

"But, the baby...", Li Xi Rui blushed. Then she realized what Long Jie had said, "4 days? Who told you? Don't tell me it's that old busybody?", asked Xi Rui.

"He can be such a busybody but he meant well. And it would be okay if we are just careful. Beside, my child would not be that weak!", said Long Jie. After 3 days he could finally say that he had fun touching his wife.

'Eventhough it is his child, but it's not like the child would be that strong while in the womb!', thought Xi Rui. Somehow she could help the feeling that Long Jie is also been affected by her pregnancy.

"Xi-er, you look lovely today", complimented Long Jie. "Before, you always look stunning, but it was slightly off. You are always beautiful but this dress suits you more. Human is not just black or white", said Long Jie. This is what he had learn even the hard way.

"Then, human is grey?", teased Xi Rui. She had never seen the human as black and white. It's because there is no one is who they had potrayed to be. So being the only person who had not try to conceal who she is, has bring misfortune to her and her family. Just because of this, she is now willing to change.

"The rest of them might be grey, but only you are colorful~", said Long Jie in a serious tone. He had long wanted to convey his feeling. Colorful suits her. Just like her personality.

"You... stop it!", Xi Rui blushed. 'What is wrong with him? Who had been teaching him saying this stuff?! It must be that Rui Sheng!', thought Xi Rui. Who else could say anything without blushing if it was not that deity? "Next time, don't copy that man. I am satisfied with just you", said Xi Rui while still blushing. How did one survive after being told those words by a wall like man? Li Xi Rui didn't look at her husband after that.

Long Jie had thought that Xi Rui couldn't accept his word. But he noticed the red cheeks and neck. He smiled. For now, he would just enjoy holding his wife. 'Blue suits her well', thought Long Jie. Still watching his beloved, he look at the updo hair. Because Li Xi Rui is no longer an unmarried lady, her hair has been style like a married woman normally would. She didn't wear her veil today as she had thought that as she had married a prince. No one would dare to mess with her. But this would be a source of Long Jie's jealousy. Who would have known that a Prince with his caliber would even have an abnormal level of jealousy?

As the couple hugging in the carriage, the carriage suddenly stop. Jie Yi appeared inside the carriage and try to not look at the intimacy displayed by their master. "Crown Prince and Princess is herr", after reporting he disappeared as if he was never there.

Long Jie frowned. Xi Rui looked at the opening of the carriage. Then she turned to her frowning husband, "Frown didn't suit you". She smoothed the line between his eyebrows, "Let me handle this!". Xi Rui beams a smile.
