Jiang Lingyue hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Wen Yuanzhou.

"Master Wen." Jiang Lingyue waved at him.

"Ninth Prince." Wen Yuanzhou nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Jiang Lingyue, revealing a hint of complex emotions.

"I just saw you, so I came over to say hello." Jiang Lingyue said with a smile. "Is Master Wen here alone?"

Wen Yuanzhou lowered his eyes slightly, "Well, is His Highness the Ninth Prince also alone?"

"I was with my concubine just now. He left for something. I am waiting for him here."

Hearing this, the light in Wen Yuanzhou's eyes dimmed for a moment, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is really good to his concubine."

The two of them were speechless for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Although they were deskmates in the college, it was the first time they were alone outside the college. Jiang Lingyue looked around, trying to find a topic.

"The night view of this garden is so beautiful," she exclaimed.

"It's indeed a beautiful scene." Wen Yuanzhou said carefully, "Shall we enjoy the moon together?"

"Okay!" She nodded in agreement. It was boring to wait anyway. She couldn't bear to refuse Master Wen, who was so friendly, and make him sad.

"Mr. Wen is knowledgeable and talented. Everyone is playing games at the banquet, why don't you join in?" Jiang Lingyue asked casually.

"Ms. Jiang, you are too kind." Wen Yuanzhou said modestly, "People like Wen are not suitable for integrating into that kind of occasion."

"Mr. Wen, you are very good. There is no need to belittle yourself. If others don't understand you, that is their problem." Jiang Lingyue comforted him.

After looking at his legs, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Wen, your legs... I don't mean anything else, I just want to know the details. If you feel offended, I apologize to you."

Wen Yuanzhou's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "Your Highness, you don't have to apologize. I'm very happy that you care about me."

A trace of grief flashed in his eyes. "I was kidnapped by criminals when I was a child and injured the tendons and bones in my legs. I don't have spiritual roots, so I can't awaken my spiritual power to repair and nourish myself. The spiritual power of others can only alleviate the condition."

Jiang Lingyue looked at him with some distress, "It would be great if there was some way to cure it."

Wen Yuanzhou smiled bitterly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but this is fate."

Jiang Lingyue thought for a moment and said, "According to what you just said, if I have spiritual roots, then there is hope for recovery."

Wen Yuanzhou's eyes flashed with surprise, "Theoretically it should be possible, but the spiritual root aptitude is doomed."

"That's not necessarily true. Everything is possible." Jiang Lingyue clenched her fists.

Seeing her racking her brains for her own problem, Wen Yuanzhou smiled and felt a warm feeling flowed through his heart.

At this time, Jiang Lingyue received a prompt from the system that Wen Yuanzhou's favorability had increased by 5.

She blinked. She asked so presumptuously, but Master Wen not only did not blame her, but also increased her favorability. Master Wen was too kind. In this case, she decided to find a way to help him stand up.

Not long after, Liu Xiuhan rushed back. When he saw Jiang Lingyue and Wen Yuanzhou together, a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes, but he immediately concealed it.

"Yue'er, I'm back." Liu Xiuhan walked over gracefully, looked at the handsome man sitting in a wheelchair beside her, and said jokingly, "It seems that I came at the wrong time."

"No, you're just in time." Jiang Lingyue stretched out her hand to him, "Xiu Han, come here quickly."

Liu Xiuhan walked up to her sullenly and put his arm around her shoulders, "Yue'er, who is this gentleman?"

"Xiu Han, this is Master Wen, the same deskmate in the herbal medicine class at the academy that I mentioned to you before." Jiang Lingyue introduced the two to each other enthusiastically, "Master Wen, this is my concubine Liu Xiu Han."

"Mr. Wen."

"Master Liu."

The two men nodded and looked at each other, and both saw a hint of hostility in each other's eyes.

Liu Xiu Han secretly complained in his heart, this pretty boy, he was born as the son of the prime minister, not only has a good family background, but he is also so handsome, Yue'er won't be seduced away by him, right?

The more Wen Yuanzhou looked at him, the heavier his heart sank. The Ninth Prince's concubine was not only outstanding in appearance, but also had excellent spiritual aptitude and cultivation. No wonder she liked him so much.

Neither of them spoke anymore. The air suddenly became quiet. Jiang Lingyue, who was caught in the middle, felt a little awkward for some reason.

She coughed twice and said, "Ahem, the moon is so round tonight."

"Of course the moon is full on the Full Moon Festival." Liu Xiu Han complained.

"Well, it would be a shame to appreciate the moonlight like this." Wen Yuanzhou looked at Jiang Lingyue silently.

Thinking of the promise she had made to Wen Yuanzhou to watch the moon together, Jiang Lingyue said, "There are tables, chairs and snacks in the pavilion over there. How about we go over there and sit for a while?"

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince's suggestion is good, and I would be disrespectful to refuse it." Wen Yuanzhou nodded in agreement, then turned his wheelchair and slid forward.

Liu Xiuhan was reluctant, but thinking about the future, his eyes dimmed. If he could no longer accompany Yue'er, it would be good to get to know more about the people around her. So, he pulled Jiang Lingyue towards the pavilion.

After a while, the three of them sat down in the pavilion, eating snacks and drinking tea, appreciating the flowers, the moon and the beauties, chatting and laughing, and on the surface they seemed to be in harmony.

During this period, Wen Yuanzhou's favorability towards her actually increased to 30.

After a while, after finishing the last cup of tea, Liu Xiuhan gently reminded, "Yue'er, it's getting late, we should go back home."

"Okay." Jiang Lingyue looked at the sky, then said to Wen Yuanzhou, "Mr. Wen, I'm glad that we can enjoy the moon together. Let's say goodbye today."

"Okay, see you another day." Wen Yuanzhou nodded.

Looking at their departing backs, he felt mixed emotions.

"Were you lost just now? Why did it take you so long?" Jiang Lingyue asked curiously on the way.

Liu Xiuhan's eyes flashed, "Yes, it was my first time in the palace, and I got dizzy by accident."

"Oh." Jiang Lingyue suddenly realized but didn't think much about it.

The two left the garden and returned to the banquet hall, where they saw Chuntao waiting for her seat. At this time, the banquet was almost over and people began to leave one after another.

The three of them walked out of the palace together and got on the carriage back to the Ninth Princess's Palace.

At night, in the Ninth Princess' bedroom, Liu Xiuhan hugged Jiang Lingyue's waist from behind and stroked her black hair with his chin, "Yue'er, are you interested in that Master Wen?"

"Are you jealous?" Jiang Lingyue shook her head speechlessly upon hearing this. "Mr. Wen is humble and polite, and he only treats me as a friend. Even if I am interested, he would not look down on me."

"Does this mean that Yue'er really has feelings for him?" Hearing the answer, Liu Xiu Han felt as sour as if he had eaten a lemon.

Jiang Lingyue had a crush on Master Wen since they first met, but Master Wen was always polite and courteous to her, so she felt embarrassed to cross the line and cause trouble.

She didn't want to lie to him, and now that her thoughts were exposed in front of him, she felt really embarrassed and ashamed.

Jiang Lingyue turned around, put her hands on his shoulders, and looked at him secretly, "Xiu Han, I am a sentimental bad woman. Do you regret following me?"

"No, Yue'er, you are very good. Don't say that about yourself." Liu Xiuhan sighed helplessly. He knew Yue'er's sincerity and protection for him better than anyone else.

He looked at her firmly, "Xiu Han will never regret marrying Yue'er as a concubine."

"Xiu Han, you are so nice, I like you the most." Seeing his sincere eyes, Jiang Lingyue put her arms around his neck and smiled.

"But, when you are with me, you are not allowed to think about others." Liu Xiu Han lowered his head and kissed her lips domineeringly.

Another lingering love, until late at night...
