Fu Yunyao appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually a little nervous. As a princess, she had always been flattered when the Pingyang Palace was at its peak. However, she was young at that time and didn't understand. She just thought that since everyone liked her so much, they must be her friends.

But after the incident in the palace, these people's departure made her see the fickleness of human nature.

Afterwards, people might treat her politely because of her identity, but Fu Yunyao could not feel any sincerity from these people.

So for all this time, she had no close friends to confide in.

She knew the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wuyang, but they had never been close friends. After today's chance encounter, she had a good impression of Bai Qinwei.

Bai Qinwei held Bai Qinyou in her arms and walked in reluctantly, looking back every few steps.

The carriage started moving slowly.

Fu Yunyao said to Xue Chao who was sitting outside: "Let's send Mr. Xue back first."

Xue Chao turned around and said, "I'm worried about the princess being a girl and going back alone. Let's send her off first. When the carriage returns to Wuyang Marquis's Mansion, just drop me off on Xuanwu Street. I can walk back a short distance."

Fu Yunyao thought about it and did not refuse.

"Are you tired, Keke? Just hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon."

Seeing that Fu Yunke was quiet and looked as if she had lost all hope in life, Fu Yunyao rubbed her face and said.

Fu Yunke looked at his elder sister and sighed softly.

"I'm fine, big sis."

Blame her. Why did she go to show off to Bai Qinyou the lantern that her elder sister won for her?

Otherwise, she wouldn't be allowed to get entangled with her elder sister.

That’s fine, but he actually wants to come to the palace to play.

Fu Yunke felt like crying but had no tears when she thought of the scene where Bai Qinyou happily pulled her to recite the lesson.

At the gate of Prince Pingyang's Palace.

Fu Yunjing and Gu Zhiyin, who were about to enter the house, heard the sound of horse hooves behind them and stopped.

Xue Chao jumped off the carriage first, put down the foot pad, and said to the carriage: "Princess, we're here."

Fu Yunyao got off the carriage carrying the already asleep Fu Yunke.

Xue Chao immediately picked up the lantern in the car for her. When he turned around, he saw two pairs of interested eyes.

"Ah Jing!"

Xue Chao felt guilty for some reason and called out.

Then he looked at Gu Zhiyin and nodded slightly: "Princess of the County."

"Hello, Mr. Xue." Gu Zhiyin nodded with a smile.

Fu Yunjing looked between the two of them and asked Fu Yunyao, "Didn't you say that if you couldn't wait for us in an hour, you would go back home? Why are you back so late? What were you two doing?"

Fu Yunyao: "When we were guessing the lanterns, we met two young ladies from the Wuyang Marquis's Mansion. We took their carriage and left. We went to the Wuyang Marquis's Mansion first, and then Miss Bai asked the driver to take me back, so we were delayed for a while."

"Since the driver from Wuyang Marquis's Mansion sent you back, why did my senior brother follow you?"

"Mr. Xue is a righteous man. Of course he thinks that Keke and I are both women and it's unsafe to walk at night." After Fu Yunyao finished speaking, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on her face: "You will ask me, what about you? We were just separated by the crowd and split into two sides. It shouldn't take an hour for Wen Feng to find you, and you came back later than me. Did you also run into someone you know?"

Fu Yunjing was confused by the question, and after a while he replied dryly: "Well... the street is so busy, we can't come here for nothing, we can't waste our time looking for someone."

When the crowd dispersed, Wen Feng was beside the eldest sister, so Fu Yunjing was not worried.

Later, Wen Feng found them and learned that Xue Chao was there. They also agreed that if the eldest sister could not wait for them in an hour, they would return home first.

Then there is even less need to worry.

It was a rare occasion for him to go shopping with Zhizhi, and there was no troublesome Fu Yunke around, so Fu Yunjing immediately decided not to look for Fu Yunyao.

And he also sent Wen Feng away.

"Oh, it's a waste of time looking for me." Fu Yunyao said with a smile.

Gu Zhiyin's face almost burned at her teasing look, and he quickly reached out to take Fu Yunke from her hands: "Big sister, you've been holding her for so long, your hands must be sore, I'll carry her to the main courtyard."

Fu Yunyao smiled and did not object. She let Gu Zhiyin take the person away and then said:

"This is the lantern that Keke asked me to win for you."

Gu Zhiyin: "Ah, Keke is so thoughtful. Thank you, big sister."

After saying that, he hurried into the mansion carrying Fu Yunke.

The back view looked like someone was fleeing in panic.

In fact, Wen Feng found them very quickly. When he proposed to go find the eldest sister, Fu Yunjing rejected it. With Xue Chao accompanying them, they were not in a hurry. Since they were already on the street, why not take a good stroll.

During the Lantern Festival, all kinds of lanterns are hung everywhere on the streets. A tall and graceful young man stands under these lanterns, casting dim shadows on his body. On his handsome face hangs a graceful and leisurely smile, as charming as a poppy.

Gu Zhiyin was dazed for a moment, and nodded inexplicably.

When she thought of this, she felt her ears burning.

I must have been bewitched.

"Yinyin, are you okay? Why is your face so red?"

Wen handed the sleeping Fu Yunke to the wet nurse. When she looked up, she saw Gu Zhiyin with a conflicted expression and a slightly red face.

One hand subconsciously touched Gu Zhiyin's forehead, and he murmured, "It's cold at night, maybe you caught a cold from the wind?"

"Mother, I... I'm fine. It's getting late, I'll go back first." Gu Zhiyin said, bowed to Wen, and turned to leave.

Behind him, Wen shouted worriedly, "Remember to see a doctor if you feel uncomfortable."

Gu Zhiyin ran even faster.

On the way back, I met Fu Yunjing who was carrying a lantern.

"Know……"

Just as Fu Yunjing was about to call her, he saw Gu Zhiyin glance at him quickly, then lowered her head and hurried away.

"Zhizhi, your lantern."

However, the more Fu Yunjing shouted, the faster Gu Zhiyin walked, leaving Fu Yunjing completely confused.

"Am I scary?" Fu Yunjing asked Wen Feng behind him.

Wen Feng shook his head expressionlessly: "The prince is handsome and elegant, and everyone loves him, and flowers bloom when he sees them..."

Fu Yunjing's mouth twitched slightly: "Shut up and speak human language."

The praise he gave was not sincere at all, don't think he can't see that it's just perfunctory.

Wen Feng: "I think the Princess may be shy."

Fu Yunjing thought carefully about Wen Feng's words. After a while, he nodded in approval: "What you said makes sense."

If she was shy, he would chase her at this time only make her hide even more.

"Take this lantern to Qionghua Courtyard." Fu Yunjing handed the lantern to Wen Feng and instructed.

"Yes." Wen Feng took the lantern and replied.

……

The next day, Gu Zhiyin was woken up by Ruyi.

She had dreams all night and didn't sleep well.

She had no idea what the dream was about, but she only remembered that Fu Yunjing's handsome face in the dream kept flashing before her eyes.

Gu Zhiyin bit her lip in annoyance. She was really possessed by a demon. Even in her dreams, she was dreaming about Fu Yunjing.
