Situ Jing entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother just read him a few words plainly, and asked him to go home, he knew that the Queen Mother also liked Shui Ling'er's innocent and straightforward, informal personality, if she was forced to learn all the rules, I was afraid that it would wipe out her attractive charm.

The only request of the queen mother is to let Shui Ling'er learn the etiquette that the princess should pay attention to when she gets married, and don't lose the royal face.

Situ Jing was not worried, because with him, he would definitely protect her.

After he returned home, Steward Chen came to report that Dongfang Yu had come to find Shui Ling'er, and he said something at the door and left, of course, Steward Chen didn't tell him about the kiss.

Situ Jing didn't care much when he heard this, because Dongfang Yu returned to Chu in order to compete for the throne, no matter whether he succeeded or not, he probably didn't have the chance to see him again in this life, and it was unlikely that there would be any more intersections between Shui Ling'er and him.

He walked to the study, Fang Yu was teaching Shui Ling'er to read, Fang Yu saw him coming, and the acquaintance gave way to the side and asked him to teach Shui Ling'er.

Situ Jing said to Fang Yu, "Bring purple clothes here."

"Yes."

Situ Jing saw the names of all the people he knew written on the paper on the desk, he picked up the pen and wrote the word purple clothes on the side, and said to Shui Ling'er, "Do you remember that I said that I would find someone to protect you? This purple cloth will be your personal maid in the future, she has good martial arts and acts steadily, and she will follow you in the future."

Fang Yu led a girl about her age to walk in, and the girl knelt respectfully in front of her, and said, "Slave and maid, meet Miss Shui Ling'er."

Situ Jing said: "With her in the future, no one will dare to make a move on you easily."

Shui Ling'er said happily, "Thank you, Brother Jing."

The next day, when the sky was bright, Situ Jing was about to get up, but he was pulled back to bed by Shui Ling'er.

Shui Ling'er pressed on him, held his mouth with one hand, and whispered, "Brother Jing, don't let Mama Zhang hear you get up."

Situ Jing shook off her hand and said softly, "Why?"

Shui Ling'er leaned her head on his neck and said in his ear, "Because Mama Zhang wants me to get up an hour earlier than you, but I still want to sleep." As soon as she finished speaking, she was already asleep, and she was snoring slightly.

Situ Jing was heated by the breath she spit in his ears, and she was lying on top of him, and her body had already reacted, but he wanted to ask her on the day of the wedding, so he carefully pushed Shui Ling'er on his body to the vacant seat next to him.

Just when he could catch his breath a little, Shui Ling'er hugged him tightly, and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Jing."

Situ Jing cursed secretly in his heart, she was so tempting at this time, was she testing his character? He rolled over and pressed her under him, and after staring for a moment, he got up and took a book of soldiers and sat down at his desk to read.

Only in this way can he settle down and not be tempted by her.

It was close to noon that Situ Jing and Shui Ling'er walked out of the room one after another.

Mama Zhang knew that King Jing intended to protect Shui Ling'er, so she just said lightly, "King Jing, Miss Shui Ling'er, the slave will teach the princess after you have lunch."

Situ Jing nodded, and after lunch, he repeatedly told Shui Ling'er not to make trouble, and to obediently learn etiquette until the wedding, because this was already the biggest concession of the queen mother.

Shui Ling'er nodded understandingly, and said goodbye to Situ Jing, and the two of them went to do their own business.

Mama Zhang is in the garden today, teaching Shui Ling'er to embroider the mandarin ducks on the pillowcase of the husband and wife in the new house.

Shui Ling'er has only repaired and stitched with needles and threads since she was a child, how can there be any delicate embroidery, it is too difficult to embroider a pair of mandarin ducks.

Mama Zhang looked at the red cloth on Shui Ling'er's hand, and after a while, she didn't even embroider a shape, just when she was about to give some pointers, other grandmothers came over and whispered something in her ear, she said, "Miss Shui Ling'er, the slave has something to do, leave first, and come back later."

Shui Ling'er nodded understandingly, she saw Mama Zhang's back disappear into the garden, and the red cloth in her hand was thrown on the table casually, and her body lay on the table as if deflated, and said, "It's really tiring to be Brother Jing's wife."

Ziyi, who was standing behind her, said, "Miss, King Jing is the prince, of course everyone will have requirements for his princess."

Shui Ling'er muttered, "Even if Brother Jing is not the prince, I will be his wife." She likes his people, not the identity of the prince.

"The young lady has a deep affection for the prince, and the prince will be happy to hear it."

Shui Ling'er nodded perfunctorily, although she was not dissatisfied with the purple clothes, but it was too dull.

Shui Ling'er picked up the red cloth on the table and said, "Ziyi, do you know how to embroider mandarin ducks?"

"Yes."

"Embroider for me."

"Miss, this is a kind of expression of affection for a wife to her husband, the finer the embroidery, the deeper the love for her husband, just like envying a mandarin duck but not a fairy."

Shui Ling'er muttered, "Although I don't know how to embroider, it doesn't mean that I don't like Brother Jing."

"The slave knows, if the slave and maid help you embroider the appearance, let the young lady embroider the details inside." Ziyi can't even embroider her appearance, if she doesn't help her, I'm afraid it will be just a red cloth when it gets dark.

She understood King Jing's intention to let her stay by Shui Ling'er's side, in addition to protecting her, she also had to help her, keep an eye on her, and don't let her have an accident.

Ziyi picked up the needle and thread and neatly embroidered the shape of a pair of mandarin ducks on the red cloth, and said, "Miss, you have to come by yourself for the rest."

Shui Ling'er looked at the appearance of the mandarin duck on the red cloth in surprise, and said, "Ziyi, your embroidery is so good."

Ziyi chuckled and said, "When I was a child, my family was poor, so I would help people do some needlework to supplement the family."

Shui Ling'er nodded understandingly, and said, "Ziyi, teach me to embroider the inside."

"Okay."

Ziyi taught Shui Ling'er to embroider the details inside, I don't know how long it took, Ah Jiu walked in front of them, he looked at Ziyi's back, and said to Shui Ling'er, "Da Mao Ni, I have something to tell you."

Shui Ling'er put down the needle and thread and red cloth in her hand and said, "What's the matter?"

Ah Jiu looked at Ziyi without saying a word, and Ziyi said knowingly, "Miss, you talk, I'll stay away for the time being." After saying that, he saluted and left.

After Ah Jiu saw her figure disappear, he sat next to Shui Ling'er and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Da Mao Ni, while you and King Jing haven't married yet, get out of here quickly."

Shui Ling'er wondered, "Why?" She felt that Ah Jiu was so strange, she kept asking her to leave here, and asked her to follow Dongfang Yu to Chu yesterday.

Ah Jiu looked back and forth left and right, and said, "It's not right for you to be with King Jing, this is incest!"

"Incest?" She didn't understand that Situ Jing was a royal family, she was just a wild girl in the countryside, where did she come from by blood.

After Ah Jiu was silent for a moment, he said, "Your biological mother is the county lord of Mingsheng, and King Jing is the younger brother of the county lord of Mingsheng, so you want to call King Jing your uncle, how can you be with him."

Shui Ling'er was stunned, and said in disbelief: "My biological mother is the county lord of Mingsheng?"

"Yes, I said that she is still alive in this world, but she already has a family, so she has never been to the frontier to see you, which is why Father Fu Xi didn't tell you about her."

Shui Ling'er said in a bit of a panic, "Brother Jing is my uncle?" She was afraid of the fact.

"Yes."

Shui Ling'er instantly burst into tears and said, "But, I like him." Looking back on the past, how could it be erased because he was her uncle.

Ah Jiu said firmly: "This is wrong, before you get married, Da Mao Mu, leave here, there are so many men in the world, there must be men who are better than King Jing."

Shui Ling'er lowered her head, she was reluctant to leave him.

"Da Mao Mu, instead of waiting until someone debunks the ugly, it is better to leave on your own, at least there is dignity."

"But, I like Brother Jing." Shui Ling'er slid down her tears, she liked someone for the first time, and she didn't know how to give up this liking.

"Leave him, and after a long time, you will forget him." Seeing that Shui Ling'er was silent, Ah Jiu continued, "Now King Jing is busy in the study, and it's time to leave."

"But—" She didn't want to leave him.

"Da Mao Ni, didn't you say that you want to break into the rivers and lakes and make a name for yourself in the rivers and lakes? I'll take you there."

"But..."

Ah Jiu didn't give her extra time to hesitate, and ran towards the door as soon as he pulled her.

Shui Ling'er didn't struggle, she wanted to stay with him, but she was incest with him.

Perhaps, Ah Jiu's decision is right, rather than waiting for the ugly to be exposed, it is better to go first.

Ziyi rushed out from the side, blocking them, and she shouted, "Ah Jiu, what are you doing here?"

"Get out of the way, I have no grievances with you, and I don't want to hurt you." He pulled Shui Ling'er and ran past the purple clothes.

Ziyi attacked Ah Jiu with a punch, and Ah Jiu easily dodged.

He is now holding Shui Ling'er and fighting with Ziyi, it is not a matter of time and a half, if it attracts King Jing, it will be difficult to fly at that time.

He picked up Shui Ling'er and ran towards the door quickly, and the guards at the door saw that it was Ah Jiu who came, and did not stop him much, allowing him to run out of King Jing's Mansion easily.

He turned over and rode towards the city gate, and said to Shui Ling'er, who was still stunned in front of him: "As long as you leave here, after a while, you will look down on everything here, you will take this as a dream, wake up from the dream, and there will be nothing."

Shui Ling'er slid down her tears, if Situ Jing was a dream, so simple, how good it would be.

After a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind her, and Shui Ling'er looked back, but it was Situ Jing who chased after him on a horse.

Situ Jing shouted, "Shui Ling'er!" When Ziyi came to report that Shui Ling'er was robbed by Ah Jiu, he panicked, and the things he was afraid of became clearer and clearer.

Is he and her really incest? Maybe this is the truth, but he doesn't want to face it, he doesn't want to let go, he selfishly wants to hide her, even if it violates ethics, his heart for her has long been unchanged.

Shui Ling'er muttered to herself, "Brother Jing." If he knew she was incestuous with him, would he still want her? Situ Jing has always followed ethics and morals, even if he slept in the same bed with her every night, he never made a move on her.
