"Miss Jiang, long time no see."

Qi Guanming walked up to Jiang Tunan and greeted her. Jiang Tunan was a little confused. Why did this man come again? Was he going to rely on her?

"Prince Qi."

Jiang Tunan casually greeted him and didn't say anything else. Instead, he continued to think about the love-hate relationship between Long Aotian and Liu Boler in his mind.

Qi Guanming didn't pay attention to Jiang Tunan's emotions, but continued,

"Ms. Jiang, I'm really sorry about the boat trip last time. I didn't expect to meet someone from the Su family. So I came here today, firstly to thank you for saving my life, and secondly to express my apology."

Jiang Tunan thought about the poetry gathering that day, and she was indeed unlucky, but it was still because of Xiao Mingli's aura that she suffered. So Jiang Tunan looked at Xiao Mingli with silent resentment.

Xiao Mingli: Suddenly I felt a chill on my back.

Jiang Tunan was not a person who cared about trivial matters, so he advised,

"Don't blame yourself too much, my lord. This has nothing to do with you."

Qi Guanming felt more and more sorry.

"Really? I also prepared some apology gifts today. Miss Jiang said before that you like silver, but I only brought 500 taels and some silver jewelry today. I don't know if it's enough..."

"But then again, putting aside the facts, are you innocent at all? Okay, I'll accept the apology, and this matter is over."

Jiang Tunan changed the subject and immediately asked for Qi Guanming's apology gift.

That was a close call. I almost didn’t make any money.

The corner of Xiao Mingrui's mouth twitched slightly. Today he finally knew that Jiang Tunan was a greedy person. He had overestimated Jiang Tunan, but he was just a vulgar person.

"Cousin, don't be rude to the prince."

Xiao Mingli came out and stood between Qi Guanming and Jiang Tunan and spoke softly.

Jiang Tunan felt a little resistant when he saw Xiao Mingli approaching him, and replied coldly,

"Oh."

When she turned around, she found Xiao Mingrui staring at her. She immediately remembered that she had always been in love with Xiao Mingli in front of Xiao Mingrui, so she spoke in a pretentious manner.

"I know~ Mingli brother~"

Xiao Mingli felt as if struck by lightning for an instant, but seeing that there were so many people around him, he could only walk away silently and calm down in a corner by himself.

Seeing Jiang Tunan treating Xiao Mingli like this, Ji Yichen thought that Jiang Tunan was no different from those vulgar women who admired Xiao Mingli. He rubbed his arms and murmured,

"It really gives me goosebumps."

Jiang Tunan pretended not to notice everyone's reactions and kept on smiling.

Then Xiao Mingrui spoke, and everyone finally sat down.

Ji Yiheng spoke first.

"Jiang...I still remember the song my cousin played at the welcoming banquet."

"Oh? Miss Jiang also performed at my mother's welcoming banquet? Why didn't my mother tell me about it?"

Qi Guanming became interested. He did not attend the welcoming banquet that day because he was not feeling well and stayed in the mansion.

"Cousin Ji, thank you for the compliment."

"Son."

Shu Yan ran in and whispered a few words in Xiao Mingrui's ear. The expression on Xiao Mingrui's face was stunned for a moment. After Shu Yan finished speaking, Xiao Mingrui said a few more words in Xiao Mingli's ear. Xiao Mingli's expression was also obviously stunned.

Everyone was confused by the actions of these two people, but Ji Yichen was the first to lose his temper.

"Brothers, what happened? Why are you still whispering? Is there anything that none of us can listen to?"

Xiao Mingli spoke in a serious tone,

"Meng Jingchen is here."

"What? Meng Jingchen? What is he doing here?"

Ji Yichen expressed his confusion. This Meng Jingchen had never had any dealings with anyone present, so why did he suddenly come to the Xiao Mansion?

"Is it because of Prince Qi?"

Ji Yiheng looked at Qi Guanming. This person is now a hot commodity in the competition between the two princes. Both sides want to win him over, so maybe Meng Jingchen came here today for Qi Guanming.

"No, it's because... Cousin Jiang."

Xiao Mingrui looked at Jiang Tunan steadily. Jiang Tunan, who was originally thinking about the storybook, looked up and found that everyone was looking at him.

Jiang Tunan:?

"I didn't know that my cousin and Master Meng had such a good relationship?"

Before Jiang Tunan could open his mouth, Xiao Mingrui had already stood up and went out with Shu Yan to meet Meng Jingchen.

After a while, Meng Jingchen also came to the bamboo room.

"Miss Jiang, how are you?"

Meng Jingchen smiled lazily, as if he and Jiang Tunan were old friends who had known each other for many years.

Jiang Tunan: No, we are not familiar with each other!

"Um..."

Jiang Tunan didn't know what to say, but he heard Xiao Mingrui pulling out a chair, making a loud noise.

However, before Jiang Tunan could react, another servant came running in and said to Jiang Tunan,

"Cousin, Miss Ye from Jingzhao Yinfu has arrived."

Jiang Tunan: It’s like becoming famous overnight and having fans blocking my doorstep every day.

"My cousin has only been in Kyoto for a month, but she has made many friends."

Xiao Mingrui was obviously being sarcastic, but Jiang Tunan didn't dare to refute him. She always felt that Xiao Mingrui was on the verge of exploding today, so she decided not to step forward and offend him.

"Xiao Nan, let me tell you, my mother pestered me to dress up for a long time today. She always thought that I would meet some noblemen, but those noblemen are not that good..."

Before Ye Ruzhen could finish her words, she saw that the small bamboo room was full of people.

Xiao Mingli + Xiao Mingrui + Ji Yiheng + Ji Yichen + Meng Jingchen: Nobleman +5

"I must not be awake yet..."

Ye Ruzhen was about to faint, Jiang Tunan hurried forward to support Ye Ruzhen.

"I'll help you to the side first! My cousins ​​and Prince Meng of Qi, you guys can chat first."

Jiang Tunan supported Ye Ruzhen and walked away quickly.

Everyone:......

When they were some distance away from the bamboo room, Ye Ruzhen immediately jumped off Jiang Tunan.

"What's going on, sister? Why do you have so many men here?!"

Jiang Tunan smiled helplessly.

"It's a long story."

"But why are you here?"

Ye Ruzhen patted her chest and said,

"We have been friends since the last poetry reading. Friends should visit each other. I saw that you had just arrived in Kyoto, so I wanted to take you to familiarize yourself with the streets. I didn't expect that there were so many people here, even Meng Jingchen was here!"

Jiang Tunan looked at Ye Ruzhen with doubt.

"Why do you seem so afraid of Master Meng?"

Ye Ruzhen said,

"You just came to Kyoto and don't know Meng Jingchen. Anyway, you must not offend him, otherwise you will definitely be in trouble."
