The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Not long after, the carriage began to move slowly.

Starting with the imperial carriage, the empress's phoenix carriage and the concubines and princesses' phoenix carriages followed closely, and then the families of the ministers including Shen Qionghua.

A large group of people left the capital and headed for the palace in Nanyuan.

Shen Qionghua lifted the curtain and looked for a while, but did not see Prince Rui, so she simply sat upright and closed her eyes to rest.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Lingyi lost the desire to speak. As for Zhou Lingfu, she was full of grievances and didn't want to talk even more.

The carriage suddenly became quiet.

The carriage swayed slowly all the way to the palace in silence. By the time it arrived at the palace, the sun was already setting.

After getting off the carriage, Shen Qionghua followed Lin quietly, and the palace maids in the palace took them to the residence that had been prepared long ago.

"Madam Hou, this is your residence."

"The emperor has ordered that a palace banquet will be held tonight. You should take a rest first. When the time comes, the palace servants will take you there." The palace maid said respectfully.

Lin raised a smile and nodded.

"Thank you very much, I understand."

The maid bowed and left.

Lin turned around.

"Pick a room for yourselves."

Although it was in the temporary palace, the house allocated to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion was not too small because of the face of Concubine Zhou and Prince An.

Shen Qionghua picked a room at random, packed up her things with Shaoyao, and then went out with Shaoyao.

If this was her first time in the palace, she would not dare to go out casually. The status of everyone in the palace was probably more noble than hers. If something went wrong accidentally, she could not afford it.

But now she has the memories of her previous life, and is quite familiar with the palace. She knows which places are remote and sparsely populated.

According to the current emperor's usual style, the dinner will have to wait for at least an hour and a half. She doesn't want to stare at Lin, as she is afraid of indigestion.

Shen Qionghua took Shaoyao along the path and came to a small garden with beautiful scenery, including rockery and pond.

Just as I sat down to enjoy the scenery, the peace was broken by the sound of footsteps.

The footsteps were heavy, and the person coming was suspected to be a man.

Shen Qionghua and Shaoyao looked at each other. After all, they were in a palace, so it was better to avoid suspicion. They both walked to the rockery and hid there, planning to wait until the man left before leaving.

As soon as she stood still in the rockery, a figure in a moon-white brocade robe appeared in Shen Qionghua's sight.

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Qionghua's eyes. The person who came was actually Xie Qian'an.

This small garden is far away from the palace allocated to Xie Qian'an. What is he doing here?

Shen Qionghua frowned, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in her heart.

Just as she was thinking, a light sound of footsteps was heard. Shen Qionghua looked up and saw Zhou Lingyi, who had been dressed up, entering the garden.

"Your Highness!"

"Yier!"

Zhou Lingyi threw herself into Xie Qian'an's arms like a butterfly, soft and fragile, with eyes full of affection.

Zhou Lingyi softened his voice and said plaintively, "Yier thought that His Highness had forgotten Yier. We haven't seen each other since the family banquet."

Xie Qian'an hugged the soft body in his arms and comforted her softly, "Silly Yi'er, how could I forget you? I'm still waiting to marry you as my queen."

"Then why doesn't Your Highness come to the Marquis' Mansion anymore?" Zhou Lingyi asked.

Xie Qian'an reached out and stroked her fair, delicate cheek, saying, "My father has become increasingly suspicious over the years and doesn't like the princes getting too close to their maternal relatives. Even my eldest brother, who has a disability, was reprimanded a while ago for being too close to his maternal relatives."

"When my uncle returned to Beijing and held a family dinner, I could still say I was visiting my grandmother. It's really not appropriate to visit the mansion at other times."

"Besides, although we haven't met, we've been writing letters to each other. How could you still be imagining such nonsense?"

In the beautiful and quiet atmosphere, Xie Qian'an's soft and hoarse voice soothed her restless heart bit by bit.

Suddenly, Zhou Lingyi wanted to ask Xie Qian'an about the ruby ​​hairpin. She didn't want to continue to think about it and end up creating a rift between her and His Highness.

She raised her head from Xie Qian'an's arms, and there was a slight, barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

"Is the ruby ​​hairpin that His Highness gave me last time something Shen Qionghua didn't want?"

Xie Qianan paused slightly after hearing this, his eyes flickering. He said softly, "Why do you think so? You are the one and only treasure in my heart. How could I give you something that others don't want?"

"But my cousin saw the ruby ​​hairpin and said it was somewhat similar to the one Your Highness wanted to give her." Zhou Lingyi looked into Xie Qian'an's eyes and said.

Xie Qianan chuckled, "I prepared that red hairpin specially for you, but she saw it that day, and I was afraid she would get suspicious, so I said it was a gift to her as an apology."

"I knew for sure she wouldn't accept it, so when you came, I naturally gave you this hairpin that I had prepared long ago."

"Don't you think about it? Who is Shen Qionghua? Is she worth me spending a lot of money to buy a hairpin for her?" Xie Qian'an said calmly, without a trace of guilt in his eyes.

Zhou Lingyi agreed with what he thought. No matter how beautiful that bitch was, she was just the daughter of a merchant. When His Highness ascended to the throne of the Crown Prince, he would naturally need a Crown Princess with a strong background to support him.

That bitch is worthy?

Even if His Highness agrees, the Imperial Concubine will not agree.

After letting go of the knot that had been buried in his heart for several months, Zhou Lingyi felt much more relaxed both physically and mentally.

She thought about how she had misunderstood Xie Qian'an, and said with a guilty look on her face: "Yier was just imagining things. Yier shouldn't have doubted Your Highness. Your Highness, can you forgive Yier?"

Xie Qi'an chuckled and said, "Silly Yi'er, why would I bother with you?"

Zhou Lingyi then smiled and got down to business.

"Your Highness, do you really want to win first place in this hunt and take this opportunity to ask the Emperor to grant you and your cousin a marriage?"

Although Zhou Lingyi had a knot in his heart, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that the marriage was going to be arranged in this way.

It was clearly agreed that the bitch would be ruined and then marry into the palace, but he suddenly changed his mind.

You should know that the couples who won the first place and were granted marriage all lived happily after marriage, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were a perfect couple.

She found it hard to accept that bitch was asked to marry His Highness with such good intentions.
