Xiao Juan looked down at Yu Qianqian with a dangerous gaze.

Yu Niaoniao was terrified and hurriedly squeezed out a fawning smile.

“You are as tall and mighty as a father to me.”

Xiao Juan did not comment on her flattery.

He looked at Granny Xiuyan at the door and asked, “What is it?”

Granny Xiu Yan hurriedly said, “Your Highness, the emperor has sent someone to summon you to the palace.”

The emperor had ordered that Xiao Juan could not be delayed.

He looked down at the woman who was still hugging his thigh tightly and suddenly asked.

“Are you sure you want to meet Yu Sheng in the cell?”

Yu Qianqian nodded vigorously. “Yes!”

Xiao Juan sneered. “As you wish. I hope you won’t regret it.”

Yu Niaoniao was overjoyed. “Thank you, Your Highness. You’re so good to me. I really love you!”

At the end, she didn’t forget to raise her right hand. She pinched her thumb and index finger together and made a little heart the size of a fart.

Xiao Juan was speechless.

For the first time in his life, a woman had openly shown him love.

How… shameless.

Even though Granny Xiuyan was old, she could not help but blush at the future princess consort’s words and actions. However, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up into a smile.

Initially, Granny Xiu Yan was still a little worried that the rumors outside were fake. The eldest daughter of the Yu family did not have any feelings for Prince Lang at all.

After all, Prince Lang was famous for being unreasonable in the Imperial Capital. His style of doing things was even criticized by the entire court.

Even Granny Xiuyan, who had watched Prince Lang grow up, knew that not many girls from good families could really like a person like him.

But now it seemed that she had worried too much.

Look at this couple, she couldn’t help but marvel at how compatible they are!

Xiao Juan sent a message to Meng Xizhou and left.

Seeing that Yu Qianqian was about to leave, Granny Xiu Yan hurriedly got someone to prepare a large box of butterfly pastries.

“There’s nothing much with which to entertain Miss Yu in our royal residence. Take this little bit of food back with you. Come and play often in the future.”

Yu Niaoniao took the heavy food box and smiled until her eyes curved. A faint dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her voice was sweet.

“Thank you, Granny. This butterfly pastry is especially delicious. I love it.”

Granny Xiuyan laughed. “I’m glad you like it.”

After bidding farewell to Granny Xiuyan, Yu Niaoniao carried the food box into the carriage and instructed the coachman.

“To the Justice Department.”

The coachman was startled. “What will you be doing there?”

The Justice Department was a department specially set up by the emperor for the Eagle Guards. Usually, Duke Lang and his Eagle Guards worked in the Justice Department. If they arrested anyone, they would be locked up in the jail of the Justice Department for interrogation.

Due to the fierce reputation of the Eagle Guards, ordinary people would take a detour when they saw the Justice Department.

The coachman was no exception.

As long as he heard the words “Chief Justice”, the various evil deeds of the Eagle Guards would automatically appear in his mind, and he was scared to death.

Yu Niaoniao said, “To see Yu Sheng.”

The coachman wanted to ask more.

However, Yu Niaoniao could not be bothered to say anything else.

He had no choice but to drive the carriage to the Justice Department.

In the carriage, Yu Niaoniao opened the food box, revealing the butterfly pastry inside.

“Eat it.”

The scent hit her.

Dang Gui immediately drooled.

Miss did not forget to bring her delicious food when she went to the Lang Jun Imperial Palace. Miss was really too good to her!

She picked up a piece of butterfly pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. She mumbled.

“It’s delicious!”

Then, she picked up a piece of butterfly pastry and asked Yu Niaoniao why she wasn’t eating it.
