Mingnan was not surprised at all when he received the imperial edict and accepted it calmly.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict saw that she was not surprised by praise or criticism, and praised her a lot.

She was a little confused by the compliment, but she soon realized that he was probably like the others, thinking that she would become a crown princess in the future, so he tried to build a good relationship with her in advance.

Mingnan was a little amused and helpless. She was still the Crown Princess. Even if the Emperor agreed, she hadn't thought it through yet.

She is a little confused now and needs time to digest it.

205: [How long do you need to think about it? Otherwise, I will just seal your memory of your past life, so that you won’t be confused. ]

It comforted him: [Those in our line of work——]

[Shut up. When you talk I feel like I've done something shameful.]

205: […]

Mingnan sat on the steps, looking at the flowers in the yard, but his heart was empty. [And I don't want to forget Muyan Mountain. ]

That was the first person she loved, and also the first time she learned to love.

[And you can't seal them all off in every life, right? If they were released all at once at the end, I'd probably go crazy right there.]

Those strong feelings of love and hate are enough to crush the strongest will.

205 was silent, as if this was the truth.

Mingnan felt sad for a while, then suddenly stood up and counted the days on his fingers. If he remembered correctly, there would be a flood in the south in a month.

She had to have people prepare in advance. She couldn't stop the natural disaster, but she could try to prevent it and try to minimize the losses to the people.

In his previous life, it was Xiao Zhe who went to provide disaster relief, and he became famous because of his outstanding performance.

But in fact, many strategies were proposed by his advisers and the original owner. Xiao Zhe reaped the benefits of the strategy. He visited the victims every day and helped serve them porridge. He did his best to save face and won the praise of the people without much effort.

In this life, she would never give him this chance again.

*

As July approached, the weather became hotter day by day, and Mingnan became more and more lazy to move.

Just at this time she received an invitation from Princess An Guo.

Princess Anguo is the youngest sister of the current emperor. She was quite favored when the late emperor was alive. The late emperor personally selected a prince consort for her. The two were very loving and harmonious after their marriage.

After the current Majesty ascended the throne, he took good care of this sister, giving her many rewards and allowing her to live a life of luxury.

Every July, she would hold a banquet to invite all the unmarried princes, princesses, young men and young ladies in Shengdu to get together and match them up.

People like to find something to do when they are free, and Princess Anguo is one of them.

Since she herself is happy, she is very keen on matchmaking for others, and she has actually helped match several couples together, and they are all living happily.

Gradually, people in Shengdu spread the word that she had some abilities, and the fact that she received an invitation meant that she had been recognized by Princess Anguo, and it was very likely that she would rise to fame through this banquet.

Therefore, in recent years, both young men and young ladies are proud to receive her invitation.

Mingnan was not interested in this, but he didn't want to offend Princess Anguo, so he asked people to go to the warehouse to pick out gifts.

She dressed up and put on a rare light blue dress with gold embroidery.

It is simple and elegant, without being too overwhelming, nor being too bland to be rude.

She got on the carriage with her beautiful words and appearance and headed for the princess's villa outside the city.

The villa is surrounded by mountains, with beautiful scenery, clear water and green mountains, and it is also particularly cool.

As soon as Mingnan got off the carriage, he smelled a fresh scent of grass and trees.

She handed over the invitation and asked someone to bring the gift. The doorman in charge of reception immediately said respectfully: "I pay my respects to Princess Anping. Princess, please--"

Mingnan nodded, and immediately whispers were heard from behind.

"She is Princess Anping?"

"Why are you still wearing a veil?"

"You don't know? She always wears a veil when she's outside unless she's in the palace. I don't know why, maybe it's just the rule."

"But I can tell she's a beauty just by looking at her eyes. No wonder the prince can't stop thinking about her."

"She may not be the Crown Princess, right? His Majesty hasn't issued an order yet. I heard that the Crown Prince will be here today, so we still have a chance."

"..."

Mingnan just laughed it off.

Everyone has their own aspirations. They may not be eyeing the position of Crown Princess because they like the Crown Prince, but just because that position has the most promising prospects.

She pretended not to hear and walked in leisurely.

The villa is full of flowers and trees of various colors, and it feels like entering a fairyland once you enter.

Even Mingnan, who was used to the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Master's Mansion, couldn't help but exclaim.

The Princess and her husband have really good aesthetic sense and know how to enjoy life. There are even two swings wrapped with vines in the sea of ​​flowers.

Princess Anguo took one seat, and her husband was standing behind her, pushing her.

The intimacy between the two of them as if they were alone is really enviable.

Mingnan couldn't help but be mesmerized as he watched.

She didn't know when the situation behind her became quiet, but she didn't realize anything was wrong.

Until someone said to me: "It is said that one only envies the mandarin ducks and not the immortals. That's all."

Mingnan: "..."

[205, When did this unlucky thing come? Why didn't you remind me? ]

205: [You are just too absorbed in watching, I am embarrassed to disturb you. ]

Mingnan was speechless.

She turned around and distanced herself from the visitor, smiled falsely and leaned forward, saying, "If Your Highness the Twelfth Prince is envious, he can also find a confidant."

Xiao Zhe couldn't hold back his expression when he heard that. He took a step closer, veins throbbing on his forehead.

"Saint, you know my feelings, why do you say such hurtful words? Could it be that as others say, you already have someone in your heart?"

Mingnan's expression also turned cold. "Your Highness, please respect yourself. This is the eldest princess's villa, not a place where you can act wildly."

Xiao Zhe knew he had said something wrong and wanted to make amends but was humiliated. He stood there for a moment, not knowing what to say.

As luck would have it, greetings were heard one after another not far away.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Ah."

The prince responded softly, and when he noticed someone was looking at him, he immediately looked over.

Mingnan's eyes softened noticeably and he walked towards him.

Xiao Zhe: “…”

He clenched his back teeth and glared at the prince hatefully.

"His Royal Highness."

Mingnan stepped forward and said hello, "May I have a moment to talk?"

The prince raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xiao Zhe who had not left yet, and smiled: "Of course."

He took a step closer and stood shoulder to shoulder with Mingnan, just blocking Xiao Zhe's prying sight.

As he turned around, he suddenly looked back, his eyes cold and gave Xiao Zhe a warning look.

Xiao Zhe clenched his fists even tighter and was almost laughing out of anger.

What does he mean?

Are you showing off?

Why should he? !

Jealousy burned away Xiao Zhe's last bit of rationality. He touched his purse with a cold look in his eyes.

We’ll see!

*

Mingnan and the prince walked away from the crowd and to a secluded place.

It’s also because the princess’ villa is big enough that no one would think much of the missing two people for a while.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" The prince turned around and looked at Mingnan with a smile.

Mingnan was dissatisfied: "Don't talk like I'm asking you to work for me for nothing. When have you never made a profit?"

"You know what I want is never that."

The prince was still smiling, but there was something indescribable in his eyes.

Very seductive.

Mingnan admitted that she was bewitched at that moment.
