After some careful arrangements, Xiao Jinghan finally got everything settled. Afterwards, he led Nanzhi on the road to Fenghuang Road, the most bustling and prosperous place in Shangjing.

There are many shops and people here, and it is so lively! Various sounds interweave together to form a unique city symphony. The buildings on both sides of the road are magnificent and well-arranged, showing the city's rich cultural heritage and historical accumulation.

In such an environment, the guards seemed particularly nervous. They surrounded Xiao Jinghan and Princess Nanzhi tightly, not daring to slack off for fear of any unexpected situation. Everyone's eyes were vigilantly scanning the crowd around them, always maintaining a high state of alert.

In this way, the group slowly moved forward under strict protection. Finally, Xiao Jinghan arrived at the destination, Zuiyue Tower. He walked in with Nanzhi without hesitation. As soon as they entered the gate, a strong floral fragrance hit them in the face, making people intoxicated.

Bai Zhi came up quickly, with a smile as warm as the spring breeze on her face, and said softly: "Master Xiao, our boss has been waiting for you in the backyard for a long time, please follow me."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Princess Nanzhi beside her. A hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing an extremely brilliant smile: "Princess Nanzhi, your visit really makes our little shop honored! Why not come and experience our unique one-stop beauty and skin care service today. I guarantee that you will leave satisfied!" Baizhi invited enthusiastically.

Nanzhi blushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed. She waved her hands and explained hastily, "No, no, no, it's better for me to stay with my cousin..."

However, before Nanzhi could finish her words, Bai Wei, who was standing beside her, smiled, stretched out her hand, gently held Princess Nanzhi's shoulders, and interrupted her.

Bai Wei said to Princess Nanzhi in a friendly manner: "Oh, Your Highness, what you said is wrong. It's rare for an engaged couple to meet each other. Why are you running over to join in the fun? Come on! Follow me, I will take you to enjoy yourself, how about it?" Her words were full of temptation and teasing.

Nanzhi said suspiciously, "Engaged couple? Your boss is actually Luo Lingyue? Cousin! What are you doing looking for that woman?"

Bai Wei raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, and whispered softly: "Don't worry! How could the boss eat your cousin!" Before he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Nanzhi and walked straight upstairs.

Nanzhi was terrified and struggled desperately to break free from Bai Wei's hand, shouting, "Cousin! I don't want to go!"

Seeing this, Xiao Jinghan, who was standing by, still had a faint smile on his fair face. He calmly persuaded her, "Cousin, go! Nowadays, noble ladies in the capital like to come here."

Bai Zhi carefully led Xiao Jinghan through the bustling crowd, while the noble ladies in Zuiyue Tower exclaimed in a low voice: "It's Prince Xiao! He is really as gentle and elegant as the rumors say!"

"Alas, it's a pity that such an outstanding Prince Xiao has already made an engagement with Luo Lingyue!"

"That's right. How could a handsome man like Prince Xiao be overtaken by the money-grubbing Luo Lingyue?"

"In my opinion, becoming the prince's concubine is a good fate!"

"Let alone a concubine, even if it's a concubine, I'm afraid there will be people fighting for it!"

"As long as I can gain the favor of Master Xiao, I would be willing even if it means becoming his concubine!" This group of noble women became more and more excited, as if they were immersed in the fantasy of a bright future.

Someone suddenly shouted, "If I can spend a night with Xiao Lang, it will be worth it even if I have to pay with my life!" This sentence was like adding fuel to the fire, making the other ladies even more excited.

The other noble lady was obviously bolder. She said coquettishly, "Oh! How can you be so shameless? Prince Xiao belongs to all of us. In my opinion, he should treat everyone fairly! Prince Xiao, look over here!" While speaking, she did not forget to throw a coquettish look at Xiao Jinghan.

Facing such bold and explicit words from the girls, Xiao Jinghan's originally stern face actually blushed slightly. After all, he was still a young man, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little embarrassed to be teased by so many girls in public.

Bai Zhi, who was standing aside, looked unhappy and secretly sighed in her heart: This Xiao Shizi is so popular among the women in Shangjing. I am afraid that the Dong family will face many rivals in love in the future! Alas! It really is true that good-looking men are troubles!

Bai Zhi carefully led Xiao Jinghan to an exquisite small building in the backyard, knocked on the door gently, and reported in a low voice: "Boss, Master Xiao has arrived."

After a moment, a clear and pleasant female voice came from the room: "Let him in."

After getting the consent, Bai Zhi slowly opened the door, made a gesture to invite Xiao Jinghan, and said softly: "Master Xiao, please come in, the host is waiting inside!"

When Xiao Jinghan stepped into the room, a faint scent of cold plums hit him in the face, refreshing his heart. He looked around and found that the furnishings in this room were extremely luxurious. Every piece of furniture was carefully crafted, exuding the unique fragrance of precious wood; there were several valuable calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, adding a bit of elegance; the floor was covered with thick velvet carpets, and walking on them was as soft and comfortable as walking on clouds.

At this time, Luo Lingyue was sitting at the table, sipping tea elegantly. Seeing Xiao Jinghan coming in, she raised her head, her lips slightly raised, revealing a half-smile: "Master Xiao's presence is really an honor to my humble home! I think there are a lot of rumors about you in the city recently. In this way, you are even more popular. You are really a disaster!" After speaking, she raised her eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Jinghan with a deep gaze.

Xiao Jinghan looked calm, and said calmly: "Lord Luo, I have never been entangled with other women."

Luo Lingyue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is Prince Xiao making insinuations about me?"

Xiao Jinghan was silent for a moment: "Lord Luo, you are overthinking! I just want you to be assured."

Luo Lingyue sneered: "My marriage with you was not consensual, but it was granted by His Majesty, so we have to obey. I cannot bring trouble to my family and friends. If you have someone you like in the future, I will not interfere with you! If you want to marry your beloved, we can divorce. Or... you can divorce me with a letter of divorce!"

Xiao Jinghan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He looked a little sad: "Lord Luo, I... never thought of divorcing you! It's me who has implicated you after all! If you don't want to, I will go and talk to His Majesty and ask him to revoke the marriage!"

Luo Lingyue was a little annoyed, and shook her head and said: "We'll talk about this later, you should take care of yourself first! There is a medicinal soup pool upstairs, go and soak in the medicinal soup. Dark Moon Fairy can only come at night."
