The soft and smooth fabric glided gently through her fingertips, the sensation combining the coolness and smoothness of silk with the warm softness of velvet. The texture of her clothing was on par with that of the so-called Third Prince. It seemed that Xia Huxin's status in the entire Vast Continent was not to be underestimated.
Jing Yushan's gaze fell lightly on Huxin's lowered face, a hint of concern in his eyes, though it seemed not to reach the depths of his heart.
"Well... where else can I take you? Where do you want to go the most?" Jing Yushan seemed to deliberately avoid stating their destination. Given Huxin's current memory, standing before the inscrutable Jing Yushan, she could not afford to make a single mistake.
"Who says I have a place I want to go right now! I'm exhausted! Can't I just sit down and rest for a bit?" Huxin's face bore a hint of thin anger, but she dared not express it too strongly; after all, the person before her was the current Third Prince, and any misstep could lead to trouble.
However, despite this, Jing Yushan still saw through her facade.
"Huxin, how did you turn over a new leaf?" Jing Yushan's sudden words startled Huxin.
Her clear eyes narrowed slightly, her heart skipped a beat, but her expression grew increasingly impatient.
"What? Is that not allowed?" Despite saying this, Huxin felt completely uncertain inside. It seemed that the owner of this body had a complicated relationship with the Third Prince.
Facing Huxin's accusatory question, Jing Yushan was not angry; he naturally crossed his arms and looked at Huxin with a faint smile, though there was an unusual light in his eyes.
It was hard to tell whether it was a test or something else.
"Well... if Huxin says it's okay, then it's naturally okay. But having gotten used to you calling yourself 'Auntie,' now that you've suddenly changed your title, you have to give me some time to adjust."
"I don't care whether you need time to adjust! After not seeing you for a while, you're getting more and more talkative." Huxin finally caught onto an important point: the owner of this body had no memory of the past month regarding this man before her, which meant they hadn't seen each other for at least a month.
Huxin smiled helplessly as Jing Yushan spoke.
"Things have been quite hectic lately, and you know that. Right now, Lao Wu is just having fun, and the tasks handed to him have come back to me after going around in circles." Jing Yushan mentioned a name that was unfamiliar to Huxin once again.
Huxin's heart tightened a bit more, but then she waved her hand dismissively, sending away Chirp and Xiao Dai, who were kneeling on the ground.
"You two go to the carriage and bring me a change of clothes, and then..."
"Huxin, do you really need them to get your clothes? It takes time to go back and forth from here to Zhengyang Gate, and you need to carry the jade token to enter and exit the palace. By the time they come back, it will be dark! Have you forgotten? I have everything you need over there," Jing Yushan said, pulling Huxin's hand and walking away.
Huxin's eyes widened. When Jing Yushan's gaze fell on her face, she quickly looked away, lowering her eyes as if casually saying, "Aren't the clothes I brought already new? Never mind, let's just go to your place for a change."
After saying this, Huxin allowed Jing Yushan to lead her toward the sleeping quarters. Chirp and Xiao Dai watched the two of them walk away, letting out a long sigh. But soon after, they felt that today’s Fourth Young Lady seemed a bit different.
Her gaze was always hidden in the shadows, unlike before when her bright eyes never concealed her likes and dislikes towards anyone or anything. Although her temperament was still somewhat arrogant and impatient, it lacked the exaggerated scenes of spitting words and jumping around like in the past.
Moreover, the usually well-dressed Fourth Young Lady hadn’t even looked in the mirror since waking up. It was truly... strange!
