Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Everything went smoothly for Gu Yuan incubating the eggs at home, and there were still more than thirty days before success. Jiang Lingyue was also studying her courses at the college step by step.

The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. On this beautiful morning, the bell for the end of get out of class rang, breaking the tranquility of the campus.

Jiang Lingyue looked up at the sky and found that it was still early, so she decided to go to the college library to look for some information about alchemy.

She walked lightly into the library. It was quiet here, with only the faint scent of books wafting between the bookshelves.

Jiang Lingyue strolled through the alchemy bookshelf area, scanning the titles of each book intently, trying to find the book that could meet her needs.

She carefully selected the books and turned the pages from time to time, hoping to find the knowledge she needed. However, after flipping through several books, she still couldn't find the ideal answer.

Just when she was feeling a little lost, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a book with an ancient cover lying quietly on the right side of the bookshelf. The book exuded a mysterious and attractive atmosphere, which made her feel excited.

She couldn't wait to reach out and take the book to find out what was inside.

When she picked up the book, she unexpectedly saw a familiar figure next to the bookshelf through the gap between the book and the bookshelf. It was Wen Yuanzhou!

He was wearing a moon-white gown with an ink-and-wash bamboo leaf pattern, sitting quietly in a wheelchair, holding a book in his hands, reading intently. His thick and long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyes, and his handsome face, as gentle as jade, was full of concentration.

Jiang Lingyue's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect to meet him here.

She walked gently to Wen Yuanzhou's side, looked down at the book in his hand, and found that it was an ancient book about alchemy. She couldn't help but smile, thinking that he was also interested in alchemy.

She asked softly, "What are you looking at? You look so engrossed."

Wen Yuanzhou raised his head and saw her with a look of surprise on his face. "Ninth Prince, why are you here?"

She smiled and pointed at the book in her hand, "I have been learning alchemy recently, and came here to look up some information. Is Mr. Wen also interested in alchemy?"

Wen Yuanzhou shook his head, feeling a little depressed: "It's okay, just taking a look."

Seeing his expression, Jiang Lingyue suddenly remembered that it was impossible to learn alchemy without spiritual power. No wonder he was so focused on reading the book just now, but did not admit that he was interested.

She was considerate and didn't expose his lie. Instead, she handed the book in her hand to Wen Yuanzhou and said, "Take a look at this one. I think it's pretty good."

Wen Yuanzhou took the book and started flipping through it. After a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"This book is really good, and some of the ideas in it are very unique." He returned the book to Jiang Lingyue.

"Do you want to watch it together?" Jiang Lingyue asked.

Wen Yuanzhou nodded in agreement, and the two sat side by side, immersed in the world of books.

Time passed quietly, and soon it was noon, time for lunch.

Jiang Lingyue took the initiative to invite, "Master Wen, would you like to have dinner together?"

Wen Yuanzhou smiled and nodded. He pushed the wheelchair and walked out of the library with Jiang Lingyue.

They did not go to the college cafeteria, but found a secluded pavilion and took out the food boxes they brought from their storage bags.

During the meal, they shared their views on alchemy and had a great time talking to each other.

There were many mistakes in lunch. Jiang Lingyue thought about the rumors she had heard recently. She held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Wen, I heard recently that Prime Minister Wen is arranging a marriage for you. Is this true?"

Wen Yuanzhou's expression turned a little ugly. He lowered his head and sighed softly, "Yes, my mother... hopes that I can marry Miss Chen."

Miss Chen? Could she be the daughter of Minister of Revenue Chen Mei?

Jiang Lingyue's heart tightened. She was originally not sure whether her feelings for Wen Yuanzhou were friendship or love, but after hearing the news, she was sure that he was in her heart.

"Then...what do you think?" Jiang Lingyue bit her lip and asked anyway.

Wen Yuanzhou was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "I refused. I know that I am physically disabled and don't want to delay others."

Jiang Lingyue looked at Wen Yuanzhou, her eyes full of heartache, "Mr. Wen, please don't belittle yourself like this."

After a pause, she continued, "In my opinion, you are better than many people."

Hearing her words, a gleam of light flashed in Wen Yuanzhou's eyes, but soon dimmed, "Thank you for your comfort, Your Highness."

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Jiang Lingyue just risked her life, "What I said is true. If I could marry a husband like you, I would definitely be very happy."

"Nine, Nine Princes, you can't talk nonsense... And please don't joke with me." Wen Yuanzhou's calm and indifferent face suddenly turned red with shame.

Now that everything has been said, Jiang Lingyue might as well go all out and cut the Gordian knot.

She stared into Wen Yuanzhou's eyes and said without hesitation, "Mr. Wen, I have had a crush on you since the first time we met."

"You were very polite after that. I was afraid of annoying you, so I didn't dare to say anything."

"But now, I don't want to see you marry someone else. I want to marry you as my legal husband. Are you willing?"

Listening to her heartfelt confession and looking at her sincere eyes, Wen Yuanzhou was filled with shock and joy beyond words.

All this happened too suddenly, like a beautiful dream. He confirmed with concern, "Ninth Prince, do you really not dislike me, Wen?"

"How could I possibly dislike it?" Jiang Lingyue's eyes were firm. "I couldn't ask for more."

"I do." After confirming that all this was true, Wen Yuanzhou was deeply moved. He whispered, "I also like the Ninth Princess."

"Wow! That's great!" Seeing that he agreed, Jiang Lingyue excitedly held his hands and smiled, "Wait for me, I will arrange for the marriage proposal when I return home tonight."

"Yeah." Wen Yuanzhou raised the corners of his mouth involuntarily and nodded shyly.

He looked into her beautiful eyes that were as bright as stars, and felt that nothing could compare to her smile.

At this moment, a system prompt suddenly came, Wen Yuanzhou's favorability towards her increased by 15, and the current favorability was 50. Jiang Lingyue's eyes curved like crescents, and she couldn't help but smile more brightly.
