The visitor was wearing an apricot-colored skirt and a dignified and neat bun. Her face, which was lightly made up, looked bright and elegant.

Jiang Tinghuai didn't know this woman, he just felt that she looked strangely familiar.

"Thank you for your kindness, but--" We can just line up by ourselves.

Before he could finish his words, the person who came saw their faces clearly and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!"

Jiang Tinghuai was stunned for a moment.

What is this doing?

Do they look scary?

The next moment, two voices suddenly rang in his ears:

"Is it, is it the young prince?!" The person deliberately lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide his surprise.

[Tsk, bad woman.] Jiang Yingcheng's voice was full of disgust, and he shook his head fiercely.

A row of question marks slowly appeared above Jiang Tinghuai's head.

He didn't understand, so he chose to respond politely: "...Who are you?"

"Ah—" The woman leaned forward slightly and saluted quickly, "I am Fang Yiwan, the eldest sister of Concubine Wan."

Oh--

Jiang Tinghuai nodded.

It turned out to be Concubine Wan's elder sister Fang Yi——

Before this thought came to his mind, Jiang Tinghuai suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Surprised but restrained, in just a moment, everything returned to normal.

What? ! !

Concubine Wan's elder sister, Fang Yiwan? ? !

He used up almost all his strength to resist looking at the little guy.

Isn't that the little guy's biological mother? !

Although they had never met, the three words "Fang Yiwan" were almost firmly engraved in the hearts of everyone who could hear the little guy's thoughts, and were given the highest level of protective warning.

Jiang Tinghuai put away his guard and responded calmly, "It turned out to be Madam Lin."

Although he seemed polite, he had no intention of introducing himself.

This meeting is definitely not just a coincidence.

Fang Yiwan's expression froze for a moment, then she quickly put on a smile again. If Jiang Tinghuai's eyes had not been on her, she would not have noticed it at all.

"I happen to have a snack here," Fang Yiwan handed the steaming oil-paper package forward again, "If the little... girl doesn't mind, you can take this snack first."

Seeing that the two men wanted to conceal their identities, she tactfully changed her address.

Jiang Yingcheng's nose twitched twice, his head still proudly not turning back, but his eyes fell on the bag of snacks with exceptional honesty.

[Look, it looks delicious──]

Bitter tears flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

Then, she shook her head violently: [No! Cheng Cheng would rather die of starvation, die outside, or jump out of the Crown Prince's arms than eat anything from this bad woman!]

"Disgusted!" Jiang Yingcheng said crisply, his baby voice still in place.

Fang Yiwan's expression broke.

Jiang Tinghuai couldn't help laughing out loud. After he realized what was happening, he pretended to scold the little guy, "Chengcheng, don't be rude!"

Although it was a scolding, the tone was even gentler than when he was being polite to Fang Yiwan.

Even so, Jiang Yingcheng still looked at her prince brother with a hurt expression, as if she couldn't believe that the prince brother she loved so much would speak to her like this.

Then, he turned around and vented all his anger on Fang Yiwan: "I just despise you! I don't want your things!!"

Fang Yiwan: “…”

She almost couldn't keep the gentle smile on her face.

After a pause, Fang Yiwan acted as if nothing had happened, smiled and withdrew her hand: "Are you two going to the Lantern Festival?"

"The Lantern Festival has many varieties and the vendors have many tricks. If you two don't come here often, you may not be able to fully appreciate the fun. Why don't you let me take you around today and enjoy it..."

“I’m not going with you!” Jiang Yingcheng turned his head suddenly and bared his teeth at Fang Yiwan, “I already told you I dislike you—mmmm…”

Jiang Tinghuai covered the little guy's mouth, raised his head and smiled: "Then I'll trouble you, Madam."

This person obviously came with a purpose. If we can't figure out her purpose this time, who knows what even more clumsy method she will come up with next time.

Jiang Yingcheng's whole body froze, and she looked at her prince brother with trembling eyes, as if she was looking at a scumbag who had heartlessly abandoned her!

[I hate the prince! ]

Jiang Tinghuai pretended not to hear anything. He made a "please" gesture to Fang Yiwan with one hand and took a step to follow.

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Jiang Yingcheng tore away her prince brother's hand, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then -

He raised his head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Then, then give the snacks to Chengcheng..."

Her cheeks also turned red.

Anyway, they all followed.

Don't want it for nothing.

Jiang Tinghuai: "..."

Fang Yiwan: “…”

……

【It smells so good. 】

In the private room on the top floor of Tianxiang Tower, Jiang Yingcheng sat at the eight-immortal table by the window, holding the touhua glutinous rice cake given to her by Fang Yiwan in both hands and stuffing it into her mouth non-stop, looking like a little hamster.

[Wuwuwu, this is such a good time, wuwuwu——]

Jiang Tinghuai looked away from the little guy with a helpless smile and looked at Fang Yiwan opposite him.

"Mrs. Lin is so enthusiastic in entertaining my brother and me this time. I'm sure you have something to discuss with us." He personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to the little girl, fearing that she would choke if she ate too fast.

A trace of struggle flashed across Fang Yiwan's face. She was about to stand up and kneel down on the empty space nearby, but...

Before she could completely leave her seat, a clear and tender voice came from the opposite side.

"How could that be?" Jiang Yingcheng stopped eating his snacks and stared at Fang Yiwan across from him, his eyes full of caution. "Aunt and we just met by chance, how could she be so calculating as to prepare to ask for help in advance?"

Jiang Tinghuai: "..."

Fang Yiwan: “…”

What a clever mouth!

Fang Yiwan forced a smile and fell back into her chair: "It's not a big deal, it's just..."

The voice paused at the perfect moment, Fang Yiwan frowned slightly, her eyes moving with lingering worries that made people feel pity: "It's just that my young son has been living in the palace for a long time. I miss him very much. I hope Your Highness——"

But the two people on the opposite side both had "hearts of stone".

"You can't do this~"

Jiang Yingcheng spoke in a low voice, talking nonsense: "My second brother is not favored in the palace. Even if you beg him, he can't go to Grandma and help you bring your brother Jinshu out!"

Prince Jiang Tinghuai: "..."

Fang Yiwan, who knew that the other party was the prince, said: "..."

Seeing Fang Yiwan's deflated expression, Jiang Yingcheng lowered his head and took a big bite of the glutinous rice cake in his hand, without any sense of guilt.

[You want my brother the prince to help you go to your grandmother's place to ask for someone? ]

She snorted angrily.

【dream!】

[How long have we been out of the palace? This bad woman was able to make all the plans in an instant after receiving the news. She is really calculating! ]

[He even used Cheng Cheng's love of pastries as an excuse to start a conversation. How annoying! ]

Jiang Tinghuai's eyes suddenly became extremely gloomy.
