The first scene describes the previous events.

Mother Xia sighed and poked Chu Jing's forehead with her finger.

Chu Jing was poked and leaned back. She covered the place where she was poked and looked at Xia's mother with her big eyes.

"Mother, can you find a way to get my hairpin back for me?"

Mother Xia shook her head repeatedly, "You! Who told you to show off for no reason? Even if you wanted to help someone, you could just stop them. Why do you have to be so clever?"

"Tell me, what do you think of Prince Cheng?"

Chu Jing pretended to be confused and tilted her head. "How do you see it? Of course, you see it with your eyes!"

Mother Xia knew Chu Jing was playing dumb with her. Seeing that Chu Jing refused to speak, Mother Xia also pretended to be angry, "In that case, go find your father! I can't take care of this matter!"

Since there are no female relatives in Prince Cheng's mansion, it is natural that Father Xia has to go and ask for it.

Chu Jing looked at Xia's mother with resentment, like a poor abandoned child. Xia's mother remained indifferent, so Chu Jing had to get up and leave the bed.

Before leaving, she said pitifully, "Then I'll go find Daddy. Mom, it was Prince Cheng who forced me to give it to him. Mom, I really have no choice. He's accompanied by several tall and strong guards, and he's also very skilled in martial arts. How can I beat him? Zhirong and Yujin are both crying!"

Mother Xia had a headache and waved her hand at Chu Jing, telling her to go quickly.

Chu Jing got the signal and turned around and ran to find Xia's father.

After Chu Jing ran away, Mother Xia finally realized that Chu Jing was deliberately pretending to be pitiful to her so that she would not punish the two little maids!

Mother Xia laughed out of anger, "Good girl, you even plotted against me!"

Otherwise, the princess's personal belongings were taken away by a foreign man, and the maids serving by her side would definitely be punished!

Chu Jing came to Xia's father and told him about this.

Father Xia thought for a moment and told Chu Jing not to worry about it, he would take care of it.

In the evening, Father Xia returned to his room and discussed the matter with Mother Xia.

Mother Xia immediately told Father Xia about Chu Jing coming to her to pretend to be pitiful and protect the maid, and Father Xia also laughed when he heard it.

"This girl is really smart!"

Whenever I teach, I can always make people understand things clearly and apply them to other situations.

Seeing how arrogant Xia's father was, Xia's mother felt proud of her daughter's intelligence.

However, "What do you think of becoming the crown prince? Would he be a good match for Xiao Jing?"

The prince is eyeing her covetously in front, and the young men from various families are eagerly waiting behind.

Xiao Jing, however, just plays around all day and doesn't worry about his marriage at all.

This question touched the heart of Xia's father, as it was exactly what he had been worried about recently.

It’s easy not to marry the prince, but who else can be a good match for Xiao Jing?

The prince is a man of deep thoughts. If Xiaojing marries someone who is not capable enough, she might be harmed by the prince in the future.

"Prince Cheng is a man who values friendship and loyalty. As a prince, he is able to remain loyal to one man and never take concubines. Princess Cheng is also a virtuous woman with excellent character. The children they raise should be no worse than him."

"And I also met Prince Cheng the other day. He's handsome, skilled in martial arts, and has a broad mind. He's a good person!"

When Mother Xia heard Father Xia give such a high evaluation, she was also a little curious about this Prince Cheng. However, she thought of Chu Jing's joke today and said half-jokingly:

"You think he's fine, but didn't you hear what your daughter said? She said he was rude and disrespectful, a lecher!"

Chu Jing didn't say this. This was what Xia's mother summarized and described based on what Chu Jing said.

After all, no good family would steal other girls' hairpins.

Father Xia hugged Mother Xia, knowing that she was teasing him on purpose, "Of course, this depends on Xiao Jing's own opinion. If she doesn't like it, no matter how good the boy is, he is not worthy of her!"

-

On the other hand, Xie Qiheng got Chu Jing's hairpin as he wished in the teahouse.

Like it very much.

He quickly wrapped it in a brocade handkerchief, hid it in his arms, and carried it close to his body.

This is a token of love!

He returned to Prince Cheng's mansion and could not wait to go into the study to write a letter to his father.

The letter said that he had met a woman in the capital and was deeply in love with her. He begged his father to intervene on his behalf and propose to her in marriage!

The urgency in the letter was evident, as if he wished that King Cheng could grow wings and fly to the capital to propose marriage on his behalf.

As soon as he put pen to paper, Xie Qiheng couldn't wait to take the letter to the window and blow away the ink so that it would dry faster. As soon as the ink dried, Xie Qiheng immediately folded it and put it in an envelope.

He took the letter and walked out, calling out loudly, ordering them to quickly deliver the letter to King Cheng in his fiefdom.

He also specifically reminded: "Hurry up!"

The guards became nervous when they received the letter. What urgent matter could it be?

For fear of delaying important matters, the guards rushed out.

Within a few days, the news that Prince Cheng was interested in Princess Anyang spread.

Xia Bin was stunned when he heard this.

what?

Who is Prince Cheng interested in? My little sister!

But not long ago, didn’t Prince Cheng come to apologize for injuring his younger sister?

It can be seen that the rumors outside are really false.

Xia Bin returned home and was about to tell his parents about the rumors outside so that he could find out the source of the rumors and see who was behind them.

But when he returned to the Xia Mansion, before he could even open his mouth, Xia's father entrusted him with an important task.

Let him go to Prince Cheng's Mansion to find the prince and retrieve Chu Jing's hairpin.

Xia Bin was dumbfounded. "How did my sister's hairpin end up in the hands of the prince?!"

Father Xia said this.

Xia Bin said angrily, "How despicable that Prince Cheng actually did such a thing! I told you he was shameless!"

Father Xia: “…” Very good, Prince Cheng’s reputation in their mansion has been completely ruined.

Xia Bin immediately changed his clothes and went to Prince Cheng's Mansion.

When Xie Qiheng met Xia Bin, he was very polite and humble.

In the past, Xia Bin would only think that Xie Qiheng had excellent character and did not have any bad habits of the royal family. But now, no matter how he looked at him, he felt that Xie Qiheng had bad intentions!

This is indeed the case.

Xia Bin couldn't stand Xie Qiheng anymore and didn't want to play along, so he went straight to the point.

"The prince must have guessed my intention. My younger sister, being playful and ignorant of etiquette, mistakenly offered her hairpin as a bet, and the prince took it. Today, I apologize to the prince on my younger sister's behalf. I hope the prince will be magnanimous and forgive my disrespect and return my hairpin to me."

Xie Qiheng had guessed that this day would come, but how could he return something he had already obtained?

He already had a countermeasure.

Xie Qiheng hurriedly got up from his seat, bowed to Xia Bin, and apologized:

"Princess Anyang is generous and doesn't care about my mistakes. I dare not hide it from Mr. Xia San. It was really me who tricked her into giving me the hairpin."

"Because I truly admire the princess, and I know I can't compare to the affection the prince and the princess have had since childhood, I've sacrificed my dignity and acted like a show of force, just to leave my name in the princess's heart."

"I have written a letter to my father, asking him to come to the capital as soon as possible. I will come to ask for marriage soon!"

"If the princess is truly not interested in me and refuses to marry me no matter what, I will return the hairpin and will not embarrass the princess!"

Xia Bin, Xia Bin didn't know how to react.

This guy is too fast!

Come to propose marriage?

Did they agree?!

You kid...!

Xia Bin naturally failed to retrieve the hairpin, but instead brought back even more explosive news.
