When they returned to Yingyuan, Wei Qing was already waiting. Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "Didn't I ask you to come in the afternoon?"

"I was afraid that my sister had something urgent, so I ran here." Wei Qing raised her little face. Xia Taoyuan glanced at her and thought: No wonder she caught the eye of King Nan, she is really pretty and cute.

"It's nothing serious." Xia Taoyuan sat down, sent the maid away, and asked tentatively: "You are not young anymore, has anyone proposed marriage for you?"

Wei Qing's face turned red, she whimpered and said coquettishly: "Sister~"

Seeing her shy, Xia Taoyuan suddenly realized that Wei Qing and Zhao Shi rarely left the Xiangfu Mansion except for praying and chanting scriptures at Guanyin Temple every month. Even Wei Jing and his fiancée did not show up. They must be very reluctant to interact with others. But recently, Zhao Shi allowed Wei Qing to go out with her. Did she think that her daughter should get to know some people now that she has grown up?

Xia Taoyuan looked at Wei Qing and said, "I have to go out of the house tomorrow. You can come with me and tell your mother when you go back." She didn't say directly that she was going to see King Nan.

Wei Qing happily agreed and played in Yingyuan until dusk.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming in two days, and the weather is already very hot. Xia Taoyuan washed up early, lay on the bed, and picked up the jade pendant Chu Xingluo gave her to play with. She suddenly became more worried. If Chu Xingluo knew that she was a fake, would he hate her? Would he leave her?

Xia Taoyuan didn't dare to think any further, she was afraid of losing Chu Xingluo. She had already lost her parents, her grandparents, she didn't want to lose the only person in the world who regarded her as his life.

"What are you thinking about?" Chu Xingluo's clear voice rang out, and Xia Taoyuan came back to her senses. She jumped off the bed and threw herself into Chu Xingluo's arms, hugging him tightly.

Chu Xingluo reached out and smoothed her hair, saying, "I was afraid you would fall asleep again, so I came a little early today."

The gentle voice made Xia Taoyuan's heart flutter, and she sobbed, "Lolo."

"Why are you crying?" Chu Xingluo held her face and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I miss you!" He said this and hugged her arms tighter.

"I miss you too!" Chu Xingluo sighed softly. His eyes were gentle and affectionate. He looked down at Xia Taoyuan. He thought about her all the time.

Xia Taoyuan swallowed her saliva. Before Chu Xingluo came, she hesitated whether to tell Chu Xingluo the truth. She didn't want to hide it from her beloved, but she was afraid that she couldn't bear the consequences. After a fierce ideological struggle, she finally decided to confess to Chu Xingluo when she returned from Yunzhou. Lovers should be honest with each other. It was unfair for her to keep such a big secret.

Looking at Chu Xingluo's gentle eyes, Xia Taoyuan said, "On the tenth day of the first lunar month, I will go to Yunzhou Foguang Temple with my mother to burn incense and pray for blessings. We will stay there for a few days."

Chu Xingluo kissed her lightly on the lips and said, "Stay for a few days? Otherwise, I'll go with you and bring Qingyun Longyan with me. It will be safer this way."

Xia Taoyuan was frightened and said hurriedly, "No, no, if you go with me, mother will feel very constrained. It may take five or six days, depending on what mother wants. Brother will go with us, you don't have to worry."

"Okay." Chu Xingluo murmured, "But I'm afraid I'll miss you so much after you've been gone for so many days." Xia Taoyuan's heart trembled. Although Chu Xingluo was not good at talking, his words always made her feel pity. She comforted him, "I will tell my mother to come back as soon as possible."

"When you come back from Yunzhou, I will set a date for the wedding with the Prime Minister."

"I'll do whatever you say." Xia Taoyuan blinked and looked at Chu Xingluo. To avoid any more trouble, she was eager to marry Chu Xingluo as soon as possible.

The moonlight was bright, and the two people snuggled up to each other with eyes full of tenderness.

The next morning, Xia Taoyuan took Wei Qing with her and asked Fugui and Fushou to drive the carriage to take them to Prince Nan's Palace.

Arriving at the Nanwang Mansion, Chu Xingliang was already waiting at the gate. Xia Taoyuan pulled Wei Qing aside and introduced, "Qing'er, this is His Highness the Nanwang, whom you saw on the street the other day. Your Highness, this is my sister Wei Qing."

Wei Qing bowed quickly and said in a low voice, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Southern Prince."

"Miss Wei, there's no need to be so polite." Chu Xingliang was about to step forward to support her, but Xia Taoyuan hurried ahead of him and pulled Wei Qing behind him.

Because Wei Qing was there, Chu Xingliang felt a little restrained. He took the two of them to a flower hall where the table was already filled with pastries and snacks.

Xia Taoyuan picked up a piece of cloud cake and put it in his mouth, praising it: "It tastes really good."

Chu Xingliang said, "As long as Third Sister-in-law thinks it's delicious, Miss Wei, you can try it too."

"Thank you, His Highness the Southern King. I've already eaten." Wei Qing whispered. Not to mention that she had already eaten breakfast, even if she hadn't eaten, she wouldn't dare to eat in front of outsiders like Xia Taoyuan. Although she wouldn't do that, it didn't stop her from liking Xia Taoyuan's authenticity.

Chu Xingliang was a little at a loss. He wanted to say something to Wei Qing but didn't know how to start. He looked at Xia Taoyuan as if for help.

Xia Taoyuan put the cloud cake in his hand into his mouth, dusted his hands, stood up and said: "Qing'er, His Royal Highness Prince Nan has a few questions to ask you. You don't have to be restrained, just answer truthfully. I'll go for a walk in the yard." After that, he walked out.

Wei Qing felt a little helpless and wanted to follow him out, but her sister said that the King of the South had some questions for her, and she was afraid of offending the King of the South and causing trouble for her sister, so she didn't move in the end.

"Your Highness Prince Nan, do you have any questions for me?" Wei Qing raised her clear and pure eyes.

Chu Xingliang was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He stammered, "Miss Wei, Miss Wei, I know what I'm going to say next will be very abrupt, but, but I still want to say it. Ever since I met you on the street the day before yesterday, I've been like a sick person, with your image in my mind, and I always want to see you."

Wei Qing's face turned red when she heard this. Even a dull person could understand the meaning behind her words. Besides, she was not stupid, she was just naive and had too little experience.

"Your Highness, I'm going to find my sister." The little girl didn't know how to respond and was so scared that she could only bring up Xia Taoyuan.

Wei Qing was about to run away, but was stopped by the King of the South. The King of the South calmed down his nervousness and said bravely: "Miss Wei, don't be afraid, I'm not a pervert. I'm sixteen years old this year, and this is the first time I've met someone who makes my heart beat. These two days I've been thinking that meeting you is the luckiest thing that has happened to me in these sixteen years, so I don't want to give up. I hope you can give me a chance, and give yourself a chance, so that we can get to know each other."

Chu Xingliang's earnest and affectionate words made Wei Qing's heart flutter. Her face flushed as she stammered, "Your Highness the Southern Prince, I, I..."

"Qing'er, don't be embarrassed. Follow your heart. If you want to give King Nan a chance, tell the truth. If not, let's leave now." Xia Taoyuan leaned against the door frame with a flower in her hand.

Wei Qing couldn't say what she felt about Nan Wang, but she didn't hate him. When they met the day before yesterday, she noticed that Nan Wang's eyes were always following her, and she just felt shy at the time.

"I, I don't know." Wei Qing didn't dare to look at Chu Xingliang.

The Southern King was delighted. Wei Qing said she didn't know but it wasn't a direct rejection, so she said, "I know Miss Wei has concerns. Why don't we get along like friends first?"

"Your Highness, I know you like Qing'er very much. But let me be frank. Our Qing'er usually has few contacts, is not very experienced in the world, does not understand many things, is simple and kind. Whether you want to be friends with her or want to have a deeper development, if Qing'er is wronged, I will fight for her justice even if I risk my life." Xia Taoyuan said it seriously. After all, it was because of her that the King of the South met Wei Qing and never forgot her. If Wei Qing was wronged because of the King of the South, she would feel uneasy.

Wei Qing was deeply moved when she heard this. She didn't expect her sister to protect her so much. The King of the South also said solemnly: "From now on, I am willing to protect Miss Wei from the wind and rain, protect her well, and not let her suffer any grievances." The words were simple, but the King of the South's eyes were firm.

Xia Taoyuan walked over to Wei Qing and said, "Let Qing'er think about it for a few days!"

Chu Xingliang nodded. Xia Taoyuan chatted with him for a few more words and then left with Wei Qing.

On the way back, Xia Taoyuan said, "Qing'er, the King of the South is a good person. If you are willing, you can give it a try. If you don't want to, just don't see him again."

"Sister, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I, I need to ask my mother first." Wei Qing said, lowering her head.

Xia Taoyuan also understood that this matter could not be rushed and Zhao's consent was needed, so he didn't say anything.
