At the restaurant, Xiao Yinhuan took Shen Yinong and Gu Yan apart.

Shen Yinong wanted to say goodbye to Gu Yan, but Xiao Yinhuan didn't give her the chance and directly said to Gu Yan, "See you later."

After saying that, he told Shen Yinong to leave.

Shen Yinong looked at him for a long time, "Xiao Yinhuan, do you have a grudge against the prince of Qi?"

"No."

"Then why do I feel that you are so cruel and nasty to him?"

"Ah? No way? I'm so polite and always treat people with courtesy. How could I be bad?" He said this while acting like a gentleman.

Shen Yinong looked at him and said, "I wanted to say goodbye to him but you wouldn't let me."

Xiao Yinhuan narrowed his eyes at her, "Do you still want to see him?"

"Do not want to."

Shen Yinong couldn't walk fast in her long skirt, so he stopped there and waited, then turned around and said, "Shen Yinong, it's not that you don't have the strength to walk just after dinner, it's that your legs are too short."

Shen Yinong: ………

This straight man.

Speechless.

"Xiao Yinhuan, are you a hardcore straight man? I'm 168cm tall, so even if I don't have long legs, they're not short, right?"

Which girl wants to be told that her legs are short?

Don't want to pay attention to him.

Seeing that she was still puffing up her cheeks and not looking at him, he lowered his head and asked, "Are you unhappy?"

"Move away. I know you're tall and you're blocking my way."

Xiao Yinhuan touched the tip of his nose.

Gu Yan stared at the two people's backs as they walked away, lost in thought.

The secret guard came out and called out, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"what's up?"

"Your Highness, you'd better not think about Miss Shen. The thousands of powerful assassins who appeared in the Qingshan Slave Arena were all King Jing's men. He was also the one who destroyed the Arena. No one in Jin State dares to build a slave arena anymore. He destroys every one that is built. He is too powerful."

Seeing the gloom between the crown prince's brows, the subordinate dared to continue, "And that Miss Shen, Prince Jing is very special to her, and she is protected by experts wherever she goes. Moreover, he deposed Prince An for her and even threatened to usurp the throne. It can be seen that he likes that girl very much and dotes on her. It is said that he gives her 100,000 taels of silver notes just for visiting the market."

"Besides, the Crown Prince's Consort can only be a noble lady from a distinguished family who can be helpful to His Highness. Otherwise, the Queen will not agree. Miss Shen is not a good match for the young master, so they are destined not to be together."

Gu Yan stood by the window and saw the backs of Xiao Yinhuan and Shen Yinong walking side by side, his eyes darkened.

Xiao Yinhuan walked with her, his face turned sideways, his eyes never leaving her. The two might have been arguing. Miss Shen took a few quick steps, but was caught up by the man in a few steps, who even ruffled her hair.

Being a prince is really boring for him. He can't be himself, nor can he have someone he likes. Everything is arranged mechanically.

He was also trembling with fear that his position as crown prince would be abolished.

Gu Yan suddenly felt a little envious of Xiao Yinhuan. At least he was free, had power, secret guards, powerful assassins, and so many soldiers who were loyal to him. He could be the emperor if he wanted to, without being constrained by anyone.

Now Shen Yinong is by my side again.

At the market, Xiao Yinhuan asked, "Shen Yinong, why did you keep staring at Gu Yan just now?"

"How could I stare at him?"

Xiao Yinhuan looked at her from the side, and she looked at the market on both sides.

"But you, it seems like you have a grudge against him, and what you said was unpleasant."

"I don't know him well, why should I speak nicely?"

"Okay." Shen Yinong was too lazy to talk to him. Anyway, she was not familiar with Gu Yan. This kind of prince was very troublesome and she didn't really want to have any contact with him.

"Do you still want to go to the market? It's rare that I have time today."

Shen Yinong looked around and saw that the market was very lively, with various vendors shouting and many cute little things displayed on both sides of the market. "I want to go shopping."

Then two figures appeared in the market. The man was tall and handsome, and looked indifferent. He was shopping with a little girl. He walked without looking around, but the little girl was curious and took a look at all the stalls.

She would even put the mask on her face and ask him how this one looked, or if that one looked good. The man would just nod or shake his head, and sometimes he would tease her by holding up the animal lamp she liked very high to prevent her from getting it.

But soon Shen Yionong discovered something was wrong, because Xiao Yinhuan would buy anything she took a quick look at, and the four guards following behind him silently gave money and took things, and soon everyone's hands were full.

Shen Yinong turned back inadvertently and was stunned to see the five men holding swords carrying large and small bags.

“When did they buy so much stuff?”

"I just bought it. Don't you like it?"

"But you don't have to buy it if you like it. I know you have a lot of money, but you can't squander it like this, right?"

Shen Yinong saw the rabbit lanterns in Fu Ya's hand. They were all the same shape, but the colors of the lights inside were different. He was holding two lanterns in each hand. Shen Yinong was shocked and ran over to ask him, "Aren't these lanterns the same? Why did you buy four?"

Fu Ya was so naive that even the scar on his face was silent. He shook his head and said, "My master asked me to pay for it."

Shen Yinong ran up and asked Xiao Yinhuan why?

Xiao Yinhuan replied calmly, "Didn't you say that red looks good, purple is pretty, orange looks warm, and green looks full of hope? Didn't you like them all?"

Shen Yinong: “…”

Well, well, you are a prince, you have money, you can do whatever you want with money, "Is this what a domineering president in ancient times was like?"

Shen Yinong didn't dare to look at it any longer.

Back home, Shen Yinong was a little unhappy again. The joy on her face disappeared visibly. Xiao Yinhuan tilted his head and asked her, "What's wrong? You've eaten delicious food and visited the market, but you're still not happy?"

Shen Yinong sighed, lowered his head, and kicked the pebbles on the road, "I miss home, my brothers, and my parents. They must miss me too. They must be worried sick after not seeing me for so long."

After saying this, she curled her lips and her eyes quickly turned red, soon filling up with tears that were as crystal clear as pearls and seemed unlikely to fall.

Xiao Yinhuan's heart trembled when he saw this.

Unable to bear her pitiful appearance, Xiao Yinhuan took a deep breath and said, "The jade pendant will arrive this afternoon."

Her eyes immediately lit up, as if they had been washed by water, and she couldn't help but pull his sleeve, "Really?"

After she asked this question, the tears in her eyes fell into his palm.

"Yes." Xiao Yinhuan glanced at her hand on his sleeve, "But there is one condition, you have to take me to your home."

"Oh, okay, I'll try and see if it works." Shen Yinong was too happy, but still asked, "Didn't they say before that it would take a month to get from Youzhou to here?"

"It's not because I'm afraid you'll miss home. Last time you said you wanted to see the jade pendant, I had it delivered to you."

Shen Yinong praised sincerely, "Xiao Yinhuan, you are so nice."

Xiao Yinhuan didn't dare to accept this compliment. After all, the jade pendant had always been with him. He selfishly didn't give it to her because he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear and leave him.

He touched his nose guiltily and said, "Okay, if you feel sleepy, take a nap. When you wake up, the jade pendant will be almost there."

"Oh, good."

"I'll have someone prepare some water for you. Take a bath and then go to bed."

"Ah."

Shen Yinong was about to leave when Xiao Yinhuan called her back, "Do you still have the candy we had in Youzhou last time?"

"Sugar?" Shen Yinong thought for a moment, "The kind of colorful and pretty candy?"

"Ah."

"More." Shen Yinong unzipped her bag and took out a large bag. There was also a kind of mint candy that could be pushed open without packaging. She also gave it to him, "You like candy, so I'll give it all to you."

Xiao Yinhuan took it, opened a purple one and put it into his mouth. It was very sweet.

Shen Yinong returned to her room. Xiao Yinhuan saw her close the door before walking towards her courtyard. Fu Ying came over and said, "Master, Divine Doctor Ji will arrive in Shangjing City this afternoon. He should have come back on the night of the full moon to help you control the cold wolf poison."

"Well, he brought people to see me as soon as he got back."

Xiao Yinhuan also went to take a nap.

Because Xiao Yinhuan said that the jade pendant would arrive in the afternoon, Shen Yinong was in a good mood and had a good sleep. As soon as she woke up, she immediately washed her face and went to find Xiao Yinhuan.

Xiao Yinhuan is usually very busy and seldom takes a nap. Even if he does, he wakes up very quickly. Today was no exception. When Shen Yinong came to find him, he was reading a secret letter.

She knocked on the door, "Xiao Yinhuan, are you awake?"

"Come in."

Knowing that she was looking for the jade pendant, Xiao Yinhuan did not make things difficult for her.

As soon as Shen Yinong entered, she saw the jade pendant she had been longing for placed on the desk, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.

"The jade pendant is here." Xiao Yinhuan saw her staring at the jade pendant with shining eyes, so he picked it up.

"Can you let me see it?" After saying that, Shen Yinong wanted to take it directly.
