Lu Zhai.

An exquisite and luxurious carriage stopped at the door, and Han Fei and Hong Lian got out of the carriage.

Honglian looked at the words "Lu Mansion" written on the door plaque and said to the maid beside her impatiently, "Go knock on the door!"

The maid walked to the door and knocked on it a few times: "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

While waiting, Han Fei looked at the guards behind him, then turned to look at Honglian, and said helplessly: "Honglian, if my father knew that I brought you out so late, he would definitely punish me."

"I think you should go back!"

"What do you want to buy? I'll bring you a present tomorrow."

Honglian put her hands on her waist, her beautiful eyes wide open, and said, "I don't want your gift."

"The auction is such a fun thing, but you want to sneak there without me."

"Are you still my brother?"

"I was so nice to you yesterday that I secretly gave you my father's wine to drink."

Han Fei looked embarrassed. He didn't have many hobbies except that he was a bit greedy for wine.

The better the wine, the more expensive it is. Although he was the ninth prince of Korea, he was not taken seriously, so the money the court gave him every year was not actually much.

It can only be said that it is enough to maintain the expenses of the mansion.

It is impossible to have extra money to drink fine wine every day.

As she was talking, Honglian turned her head to look at the Lu Mansion in front of her, lowered her head and whispered shyly: "Besides, he is going too..."

Because the voice was too soft, Han Fei did not hear clearly what she said, nor did he pay attention to Honglian at this time.

Because the door has been opened.

Tian Mi poked her little head out from the crack in the door. Seeing all the unfamiliar faces, and the soldiers following Han Fei and the others, she asked warily, "Who are you looking for?"

Han Fei stepped forward and bowed, saying seriously, "Excuse me, is Brother Lu Yuan at home?"

"I made an appointment with him to go to the auction together."

Tian Mi suddenly realized and opened the door completely while speaking: "You should be His Highness the Ninth Young Master, right?"

"Brother Lu told me during the day that you would come."

"Come in and sit for a while! I'll go call Brother Lu over right away."

After leading Han Fei and Hong Lian into the courtyard, Tian Mi turned and went to the backyard.

Han Fei sat at the stone table while Hong Lian observed the environment in the courtyard.

Lotus pond, bamboo forest, flower garden...simple and elegant.

"Is this his home in Xinzheng?"

As the most favored princess by the King of Han, she has long been accustomed to prosperity.

She actually doesn't like this simple environment very much.

Now, she suddenly felt that this kind of environment seemed quite interesting.

After a while, Lu Yuan arrived at the front yard.

Following behind him were Tian Mi, Yan Lingji and Xiu Niang.

The three women, two adults and one child, have different styles, but without exception they are all rare beauties in the world.

Even Han Fei's eyes subconsciously flashed with surprise.

However, he was not a man who was greedy for beauty, and out of courtesy he only glanced at her.

The attention was completely focused on Lu Yuan.

Doorway.

The embroiderer expertly helped Lu Yuan to tidy up his clothes and said, "Sir, do you really not need me and Sister Yan Lingji to accompany you?"

Lu Yuan held her hand and smiled, "No need, it's just an auction, not a life-and-death fight with others."

"I'll just take Ami there, you guys wait for me at home."

The carriage moved slowly along the street under the escort of soldiers.

Lu Yuan and Tian Mi sat on one side, while Han Fei and Hong Lian were opposite them.

There is a lot of space inside the carriage, and even if four people sit in it, it will not feel crowded.

There was also a table in the middle with tea and exquisite pastries.

The luxurious life of princes and nobles is unimaginable for ordinary people.

You can see it from this carriage.

Han Fei joked, "Lu Yuan is indeed a romantic man. His two wives are so beautiful that they are the envy of others."

This might be his way of dealing with people. Although he is the ninth prince of Korea and the son of a king, he always treats others with an equal attitude.

He can gain the other person's favor imperceptibly, coupled with his extraordinary knowledge and unrestrained personality.

All these things add up to form a unique personal charm.

Honglian was sulking beside him, saying unhappily, "What do you mean by beauty? They are just two demons!"

"You!" Tian Mi glared at Honglian angrily, saying bad things about her two sisters in front of her. If she didn't know that Honglian was a princess, she would have taken action.

"Honglian!" Han Fei looked at Lu Yuan awkwardly, and was relieved to see that he was not angry. "Brother Lu Yuan, my sister has been spoiled by my father and me since she was a child."

"I hope you'll forgive me."

A drop of water condensed in the carriage, and slowly floated towards Honglian under the gaze of everyone, and finally fell on her forehead and shattered.

A chill swept over Honglian, calming her down instantly.

Lu Yuan said in a gentle tone: "The princess I know is innocent, carefree, and always full of hope and expectation for life."

"Even just standing next to Her Royal Highness can make me happier and more joyful."

"Your Highness the Princess is now like a bad child who is sulking."

"You are the bad boy!" Honglian retorted dissatisfiedly.

Is this how I am in his mind?

Honglian's slightly raised lips could not deceive Lu Yuan and Han Fei.

Lu Yuan picked up two pieces of cake on the table, gave one to Tian Mi first, and then put the last piece in Hong Lian's hand: "Xiu Niang and Yan Lingji should be a few years older than you."

"Call me sister when you see me next time!"

"They are all very good women. It will be good for you to spend more time with them."

"This is a chaotic world. In the near future, the whole world will probably be engulfed in war again, with countless people displaced and countries at war."

"Your kindness, beauty, and innocence may sometimes be a sin."

“You don’t have to change your personality, but you have to learn how to protect yourself.”

Honglian was confused, but she could feel that Lu Yuan was doing this for her good.

Han Fei next to him had a complicated expression on his face. He heard too many things from these words.

Lu Yuan seemed to have anticipated that countries would go to war in the near future, and South Korea would be involved, and he was not optimistic about South Korea.

Otherwise, as the Korean princess Honglian, why would she need me to protect herself?

Looking at Lu Yuan and Hong Lian, he sighed secretly in his heart. He was not a fool when it came to love.

I have already seen the clues between the two of them. When has Honglian ever listened to someone so much? When has she ever cared so much about someone?

He actually had a good impression of Lu Yuan, and it would not be a bad choice to let Honglian marry such a man.

But he knew that it was almost impossible for them to be together. Although Han Wangan liked Honglian, he would never allow her to mess around with marriage.

Honglian's future is most likely to be a marriage of convenience, or marrying to another country, or marrying the son of a minister or general in the court.

This is the fate of those born into an imperial family.

Neither he nor Honglian could escape.

Having enjoyed the wealth and glory brought by one's status, one must naturally assume the corresponding responsibilities.
