"His Highness seems to be in a really good mood today." Zhang Yunlei remarked after finishing their meal.

"Oh, hmm?" Long Sangyu couldn't hide the grin on his face.

It was too easy to spot that something good happened.

Junwang briefly retold that he was now a proper subordinate of the King.

Concubine Zhang was confused. "Proper... subordinate?"

"Well, I've only operated on orders until now. Whether it was a short errand or a long term project, they would be named under the house of Wan Li, Wangye and Junwang." The Prince beamed. One could see that he was proud of the tasks he did. "But now, I am titled as one of the King's advisors and a member of her Highness' council."

Zhang Yunlei's twitched but he was able to hide it behind a smile mirroring the Prince's happiness.

"Then, shouldn't we celebrate tonight? I'll cook."

That was when Long Sangyu hesitated. "It's too early to celebrate."

The concubine tilted his head in an adorable way that Junwang couldn't help but ruffle his hair.

"Da jie still has to review the recommendation of the Council. In other words, she could still refuse if she wants to."

"Hmm? I'm sure Wangye will approve of the Prince. You're working hard." Zhang Yunlei patted his back in encouragement.

Concubine Zhang had always been warm like this. It was like Long Sangyu found an intimate padded jacket.

>Padded jacket in the winter is an idiom commonly used by parents for heartwarming daughters but LSY referred to ZYL because the latter made him feel loved and supported<

The prince regained his sunny smile. "I hope so."

He knew his sister's insanely high standards. He didn't know if the effort he was showing these days was enough.

As he was in a warm embrace, Junwang naturally wouldn't see the ugly expression Zhang Yunlei sported.

Pat. Pat. Pat.

Every caress was a wish, a prayer... for the King to disappear so Long Sangyu would finally realize his own brilliance. And not be like a scared cat whenever he mentioned his sister.

"Why are you back here?" Feng Yanyan went to Zhongqing as usual but found out that Wangye was in the study instead of resting in her room.

The worst part about this was she was already working even though she was still on leave.

Madam Lian was the one who told him that her Highness had taken an official leave from work for three days.

This was only the third day.

"Ben dian sees your mouth is getting bolder each day." Long Xu Le said without even looking at him.

Feng Yanyan gave a fawning smile. "That wasn't Feng's intention at all, Wangye. What Feng meant was your Highness is still sick and should still be in bed."

"Start grinding ink."

"Ugh," he had never seen this kind of workaholic before.

But one glance from her got him running to the side and doing as told.

It was a quiet morning until a knock on the door came.

Xiao Bao's voice was heard from the outside.

"What is it?" The King asked.
